Chapter 279: Very angry
No matter whether she is the noble old marquis' wife of the Tu Su family in Kyoto, or the old lady of the Tu Su family living in seclusion in the countryside, once such a crime is known to the public, there will be no way out.
Did Gu Yuexuan have any ulterior motives when she said that?
There was a flash of bloodshot in the old lady's eyes. She turned around suddenly and was greeted by Tu Subo's calm and indifferent face.
Tu Subo spoke softly, each word like a knife, piercing the rotten stench deep within the old lady's heart: "Second Uncle has always been like this, all bravado but a coward. Faced with this unexpected mistake, he must be panicking now, and I'm afraid he wouldn't dare set foot in the house again."
"Grandma, what do you think?"
The old lady's pupils suddenly widened, and the look she gave Tu Subo was as if she were facing a demon: "What are you thinking?!"
"What's your intention?"
Tu Subo chuckled in amusement and said slowly, "My grandson wouldn't have any hidden agenda. Grandmother is being too suspicious."
"I just want to remind you that next time if you have something to hand over, you can use me as you did today."
"Although my father wasn't my grandmother's biological child, I've called you grandmother for many years. I don't mind such trivial tasks as running errands and delivering things. It doesn't bother others, and it also saves me the trouble of chasing away rats in the dead of night."
"Besides, how can outsiders compare to the reliability of family members?"
Tu Subo revealed the old lady's deepest fear to the public, accurately capturing the panic that was difficult to conceal in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and a strong sense of irony flashed in her eyes.
Greedy.
If you become too ambitious, you will eventually backfire.
His good second uncle, whether it was his insatiable greed or his weak nature that made him shrink back when faced with difficulties, was exactly like the old lady in front of him, as if they were carved from the same mold.
"Grandmother, there's no need to panic. As long as Grandfather doesn't make a decision, you will be the respected elder of the Tusu family, and no one will dare to disrespect you."
Tu Subo recalled the glance the old lady had just given Gu Yuexuan. The smile on his lips instantly disappeared, replaced by a chill that went deep into his bones: "But please do not covet someone you shouldn't be paying attention to, and don't have any improper thoughts about them."
"If Gu Yuexuan is hurt, the next time you place your hand beside my second uncle's head, it will be my second uncle's head."
Tu Subo's words were sonorous and powerful, and his voice was gentle, just like the respectful words of a filial younger generation to his elders.
However, the old lady could no longer control herself under this intense stimulation. Her eyes were filled with panic and embarrassment. She staggered back and eventually fell to the ground. She didn't even dare to look back at Tu Subo. She used her hands and feet to crawl towards the main room as if she was running for her life, as if there was an evil ghost chasing her from behind. The door slammed shut with a deafening sound.
Tu Subo could still hear the door being locked again and again from outside, fearing that it was not secure enough.
Tu Subo's deep eyes narrowed slightly. At this time, Gu Yuexuan walked out angrily, holding clothes.
"Why am I mad at you again?!"
When will this ever end!
Did he really think Tu Subo was a soft persimmon that could be easily exploited?!
Gu Yuexuan was furious. Seeing that the door of the main hall was closed and no one seemed to come out to fight, she pulled Tu Subo aside and scolded him in a low voice, gritting her teeth: "You are so stupid!"
"You were scolded for no reason, yet you just accepted it and let others spit in your face?"
Although the old lady was not Tu Subo's biological grandmother, she nominally held this position after all. The Tu Su family had strict family rules, and Tu Subo could not contradict her, otherwise he would have a hard time explaining himself to his grandfather.
But we can’t just do nothing and surrender!
Gu Yuexuan glared at Tu Subo, her eyes filled with disappointment and anger: "Why didn't you just dodge?"
"You could have avoided punishment by just talking back a little, so why did you just stand there and get scolded?"
You are usually very smart and full of wit, so why do you become so stupid at such a critical moment?
Where is that cunning guy who competed with you in wits and courage and insisted on sleeping with you even in the hot summer?
Gu Yuexuan's heart was filled with rage. She pulled Tu Subo's cheek with great dismay, saying, "You're just standing there stupidly. Why can't you learn from your uncle's intelligence and wisdom?"
"Look at your Third Uncle!"
"His hiding skills are simply superb! Exemplary!"
Ever since the old lady was in a bad mood, Tu Suting seemed to have obtained an exclusive secret to dodging, making it impossible for the old lady to catch him.
Tu Subo's face was distorted by the pulling. He was afraid that Gu Yuexuan's hand would hurt, so he lowered his head to let her use more force. After she vented her dissatisfaction, he did not explain. Instead, he smiled with narrowed eyes and said, "Okay, next time I will learn from Uncle San and dodge in advance."
Gu Yuexuan was still worried. She glared at him and scolded him, "You're dreaming!"
"You can't even talk back, and you dare to send me away? Next time I'll just listen, and I'll refute you every time you curse at me!"
Anyway, the old lady has been dissatisfied with me for a long time, and I have argued with her more than once or twice, so what if it happens a few more times?
Seeing Gu Yuexuan's face full of anger, Tu Subo felt secretly amused. He coaxed her softly and tricked her into going into the house to fold clothes, while he rolled up his sleeves and continued cooking.
It was the height of summer, and Gu Yuexuan didn't like greasy food, so the dishes on the table were very light.
Fragrant minced meat and mushroom porridge, stir-fried green vegetables, a plate of sweet and sour radish pickled in vinegar, and snow-white and round steamed buns.
The children in the family became lively as soon as they had the chance. They went to the brewery to play early in the morning and are still reluctant to come back. The adults are also busy there.
The old lady's door was tightly shut, and no one answered despite repeated calls from outside. Gu Yuexuan tried again and again, but finally lost her patience and simply brought a small stool and placed the food she had reserved for her in front of the main hall door.
Gu Yuexuan clapped her hands and called softly, "Tu Subo, it's time for dinner."
As for that old lady...
If she is willing to eat, then she can do as she pleases; if not, then she can just go on a hunger strike.
Who is willing to accommodate you all the time?
It was late at night, and after a full meal, Gu Yuexuan lay on the bed. She did not fall asleep immediately, but muttered, "I don't want to go to the doctor tomorrow."
Tu Subo's voice was calm and indifferent: "You are not ill. We are just going for a walk."
Gu Yuexuan's complaint was evident in her words: "I don't want to drink those nourishing soups anymore."
She patted the edge of the bed lightly and said with some dissatisfaction, "Why am I the only one who needs to drink? Are you really as strong as you say? Aren't you lying to me?"
Tu Subo's large hands gently cupped the back of her head. He lowered his head and gently nibbled the corner of her lips. His voice was low and hoarse, "Xuanxuan, I've been experiencing a lot of internal heat lately. If I drink two more bowls of tonic soup, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."
"Why, do you think the peace of the night is too boring, and want me to accompany you to find some excitement?"
There was a hint of vulgarity in his words, and his hand was restlessly placed on Gu Yuexuan's waist, but his expression was extremely serious, and his stern face seemed as if everything was normal.
