Chapter 198 Not a good person
Tu Subo smiled slightly, held Gu Yuexuan's hand tightly, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I have already ordered my servants to strengthen their vigilance. The Wei family will not dare to act rashly in the short term. Moreover, I will find an opportunity to reconcile with them and try my best to resolve this feud."
Gu Yuexuan felt a little relieved after hearing her husband's words of comfort. But she was still a little worried. She looked at Tu Subo with worry in her eyes.
Gu Yuexuan was a little surprised by Tu Subo's sudden question. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes, but then she became determined.
"Tu Subo, your behavior is really puzzling." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Gu Yuexuan's tone. She gently lifted her sleeves, sat up straight, and looked directly at Tu Subo.
Tu Subo sat at the other end of the table, his eyes firm and his face calm. Hearing Gu Yuexuan's words, he smiled slightly and said slowly, "Gu Yuexuan, don't you understand? We are doing this to teach the Wei family a lesson."
Gu Yuexuan's eyes flashed with surprise. She hadn't expected Tu Subo to admit it so bluntly. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, then spoke slowly, "I understand that the Wei family does need to be taught a lesson, but what you did today was truly too much."
The room fell silent for a moment, the only sound outside the window being the rustling of leaves in the autumn wind. Tu Subo looked at Gu Yuexuan, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He asked puzzledly, "Too much? Gu Yuexuan, do you think we haven't done enough?"
Gu Yuexuan shook her head slightly. She looked at Tu Subo, her eyes filled with complicated emotions. "It's not that it's not enough, it's that it's too much. I've seen a lot of minor fights, but today's situation is beyond my imagination."
Tu Subo was silent for a moment. He took a deep breath and then slowly said, "I know this is shocking to you, but I have to do this. If we don't take strong measures, the Wei family will continue to pester us. They won't give up."
Gu Yuexuan's expression turned serious. She looked at Tu Subo with a glint of determination in her eyes. "I understand your concerns, but have you ever thought about the consequences of this?"
Tu Subo smiled bitterly. He looked at Gu Yuexuan with helplessness in his eyes. "I know that this will bring us a bad reputation in the village. But for the sake of the peace of our family, I am willing to bear it all."
Gu Yuexuan was silent for a moment. She looked at Tu Subo with a flash of pain in her eyes. She gently held Tu Subo's hand and softened her tone: "I know you have sacrificed a lot for the family, but have you ever thought about whether this is worth it?"
Tu Subo looked at Gu Yuexuan, his eyes flashing with determination: "Whether it's worth it or not, only time will tell. But at least, I won't let our family be bullied by the Wei family again."
Gu Yuexuan sighed softly. She knew that Tu Subo's decision could not be changed. She could only silently support him and accompany him through this difficult time.
The room fell silent again, and the two of them were speechless. Gu Yuexuan looked at Tu Subo, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Gu Yuexuan's face lit up with worry after hearing Tu Subo's plan. She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "Brother Bo, can this plan really keep us from being discovered? After all, the Wei family has many spies. If we're not careful, we'll be in danger."
Tu Subo gently patted Gu Yuexuan's shoulder, reassuring her. His lips curled upward, his eyes gleaming with confidence. "Xuan'er, don't worry too much. I've made careful arrangements. Even if the Wei family notices any clues, it won't be a big problem."
Gu Yuexuan frowned slightly, still a little worried: "But, the Wei family has a huge influence in the village. If we affect their interests, how can they let it go?"
Tu Subo smiled, his eyes firm. "Xuan'er, have you forgotten what happened to the Wei family recently? The Wei family has lost their credibility, and their actions have long aroused public outrage among the villagers. If we take action now, far from arousing suspicion, we will gain the support of the villagers."
After hearing this, Gu Yuexuan was silent for a moment, her eyes gradually becoming firm. She nodded gently, "Brother Bo, you are right. The Wei family has indeed lost the support of the people. As long as we act carefully, we should be able to proceed smoothly."
The two were silent for a while. Gu Yuexuan suddenly thought of something and looked at Tu Subo worriedly: "Brother Bo, how should we deal with the Wei family's counterattack? After all, they will definitely not let us go easily."
Tu Subo's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "Don't worry, I'm ready. If the Wei family dares to take action, I will make them pay the price."
Gu Yuexuan looked at Tu Subo worriedly, and couldn't help but think of their child. She whispered, "Brother Bo, will this affect the child? After all, he's still young and needs a stable environment."
Tu Subo stroked Gu Yuexuan's hair and said softly, "Xuan'er, I understand your concerns. But we do this to give our child a better future. When we succeed, the child will be able to live a happy life."
Gu Yuexuan's eyes flashed with determination, and she nodded gently: "Brother Bo, I believe in you. If we work together, we will definitely succeed."
Tu Subo coughed twice and quickly changed the subject. A sharp look flashed in his eyes as he stared straight at Gu Yuexuan: "You were so scared just now, were you really that scared? Or were you just pretending?"
Gu Yuexuan was slightly startled, a hint of doubt flashed across her clear eyes, and then she raised her brows slightly and asked, "If I were really scared, how would you treat me?"
Tu Subo's fingers tapped lightly on the table twice, then slowly slid down to the back of Gu Yuexuan's neck, gently caressing it as if soothing a frightened deer. His eyes softened, yet held a subtle hint of danger.
"If I really think you are scared, I will let you know that the Tu Su family is not a place where you can retreat easily." His voice was low and magnetic, revealing a firmness that could not be ignored.
A complex emotion flashed across Gu Yuexuan's face, a mixture of anticipation and worry. She bit her lower lip slightly, then asked softly, "What about you? What's your true personality like? I've always felt that you're not what you seem."
Tu Subo smiled slightly, a sly look flashing in his eyes. He gently pinched Gu Yuexuan's cheek and said, "Do you really want to know?"
Gu Yuexuan nodded seriously: "Of course I want to know, because... because I want to know you better."
Tu Subo looked at her deeply, then slowly said, "In fact, I'm not a good person. In the cruel world of ancient times, in order to protect the Tu Su family, I had to become cunning and insidious, and sometimes even had to do cruel things. You may think I'm a gentle and considerate husband, but in fact, I also have my own ambitions and desires."
As Gu Yuexuan listened to Tu Subo's words, a complex emotion surged in her heart.
