"Young Master, this is an invitation from Prince Ning's Mansion. Tomorrow night, a banquet will be held to entertain the wealthy families of Chang'an. You and I are invited to attend the banquet together."
Bang!
Gu Yuan slammed his palm on the wooden table.
His face was now twisted, filled with rage. His outward demeanor was merely a facade. Only at home did his true face show.
The knuckles of my fingers creaked.
He suddenly lifted the slave up with one hand.
Choking the other person's neck.
The slave trembled with fear and tried to break free.
“Young…Young…Young Master?!”
"roll!"
The servant ran away, tumbling and crawling.
Gu Yuan looked at the invitation and was extremely annoyed.
He has never suffered such a big loss!
This time he was even implicated and demoted!
"Gu Lang!"
"Um?"
Gu Yuan frowned and turned around.
Lin Xianhong ran over, holding up the hem of her skirt, tears streaming down her face. Clear marks of the slap were still visible on her face. After rushing to the front, she threw herself directly into Gu Yuan's arms.
The fragrant breeze blows into my arms.
Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel excited.
He raised his hands and hugged Lin Xianhong.
Feeling the beauty's graceful body, his heart was also distracted. When he was about to explore further, Lin Xianhong interrupted him with a blushing face. Then he quickly separated and lowered his head and murmured, "Gu Lang, it's not time yet..."
"Haha, you're just too tempting."
Gu Yuan suppressed the desire in his lower abdomen.
Looking at Lin Xianhong, he sneered secretly.
You abandoned woman, are you still pretending in front of me?
Hasn't it been played out long ago?
Gu Yuan tried hard to force a smile.
There is still a long way to go, so there is no need to rush.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Who hit you?"
"My grandfather!"
"What?"
Gu Yuan was stunned.
"Doesn't your grandfather...love you the most?"
"Why would I hit you suddenly?"
"It's all because of Ning Que!"
Lin Xianhong gritted his teeth and spoke angrily.
She was full of grievances at the moment.
"Ning Que is targeting my Lin family."
"Grandfather was at his wit's end, so he brought my father, brother, and sister to kneel in front of the palace, hoping Ning Que would show mercy. Unexpectedly, he used this as an excuse to embarrass my grandfather, remaining indifferent even as he kowtowed until he bled. I stepped forward to stop them, and then grandfather..."
"So that's how it is!"
Gu Yuan held Lin Xianhong's hand and whispered, "You've been wronged. But you also have to understand your grandfather. Your entire Lin family has been dismissed, and your brother Lin Chao has even been demoted to Sikou. During the court meeting, I couldn't do anything. After all, I've been demoted, and if I continue to speak up for him, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble myself."
"I understand."
"Don't worry, I've already sent people to the Northern Frontier. When your brother goes there, someone will take special care of him."
"Gu Lang, you are so nice!"
Lin Xianhong's eyes turned red.
I'm afraid she is the only one in this world who truly treats her well.
"This is what should be done."
Gu Yuan smiled lightly.
Take care of him?
Just talking!
Lin Chao does have some abilities.
But this guy knows too much.
It is not conducive to him maintaining the image of a gentleman.
The main reason is that Lin Chao was too impulsive.
You never know if you'll get into trouble again in the future.
Once we get to the northern border, it would be best if I died there.
"Don't worry."
"Ning Que won't be able to jump around for long."
"I just came to power and I've already offended so many people."
"They even held a grand banquet, unafraid of arousing His Majesty's suspicion. They have no idea how to be discreet."
"Um!"
Lin Xianhong nodded vigorously.
However, she still had some doubts.
Hasn't Ning Que been keeping a low profile for the past three years?
After all, the death of King Ning was too strange.
At that time, many people suspected that it was related to Emperor Feng.
So, Ning Que chose to marry her.
In fact, it is just a cover-up.
After she had an abortion, Ning Que was completely enraged.
Without hesitation, he divorced his wife cruelly!
Without any mercy!
The more Lin Xianhong thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Could it be that this is the truth?
Ning Que never liked her?
Just using her as a tool?
Gu Yuan handed over the invitation and said softly, "Ning Que will host a banquet tomorrow night to invite everyone. The invitation has already been sent."
"That's too much!" Lin Xianhong's eyes were red. "He stepped on our Lin family to get to the top. Now everyone in our Lin family has been dismissed from their official positions, and they still owe a huge sum of money."
"Oh right, about the money!"
Gu Yuan also suddenly realized, and then sighed, "Xianhong, you should know everything. Our Gu family has also suffered revenge from Ning Que this time, and we need some money to smooth things over. The most I can take now is 15,000 taels, which is already the Gu family's wealth."
"I understand."
"It's already very difficult for the Gu family."
"This is all Ning Que's fault!"
Lin Xianhong nodded slightly.
In fact, she herself didn't realize it.
She was obedient and reasonable to Gu Yuan.
But he was always extremely cold towards Ning Que.
Whatever Gu Yuan said was right.
And whatever Ning Que said was fake.
From beginning to end, she didn't think she was wrong.
Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Xianhong, don't worry. I will continue to find a way to deal with the money issue. As for Ning Que, I will not let his dinner go smoothly."
"What is Gu Lang going to do?"
"Haha, I just want to make him look bad." Gu Yuan sneered, "I really can't stand seeing him bully you like this. He's so arrogant right now, but he doesn't care about the life and death of your Lin family. He's simply bullying others by taking advantage of his power. You must have some poison in your hand, right?"
