Gu Xingyan stayed with General Gu for a whole day, and only when the sun set did the Second Young Master Gu come out of the bedroom.
The two mute eunuchs had been guarding outside the door. When they saw Gu Xingyan coming out, they hurriedly saluted him.
Young Master Gu looked at the two men. They had ordinary looks but strong bodies. They looked strong. He took out four gold bars from his pocket. He gave one of the eunuchs to the two and said, "Take it. Thank you very much."
After receiving the reward and receiving a thank you from Master Gu, the two eunuchs knelt on the ground.
Gu Xingyan waved to the two eunuchs and walked out to the corridor.
When Gu Xingyan left the courtyard, a maid in charge came to greet him, called him "Second Young Master" and bowed to him.
Gu Xingyan said: "Where are the princess and her husband?"
The nanny said, "The princess and her husband have gone to the street and haven't come back yet. The second young master has something to do, so I'll send someone to look for them right away."
"No need," Gu Xingyan said, "I'm going back home. I'll come back tomorrow morning. I'll tell the princess and her husband not to worry about me."
"Yes," Mammy replied.
Gu Xingyan mounted his horse in front of the mansion gate and looked at the plaque on the gate, which read, "The Mansion of the Prince Consort was Built by Imperial Order."
A personal soldier saw Gu Xingyan sitting on his horse and not moving, so he asked in a low voice: "Master?"
"My brother's house is nice," Gu Xingyan laughed and urged his horse forward.
The two mute eunuchs returned to the room and found that General Gu's clothes had been changed, his fingernails and toenails had been cut, and even his hair seemed to have been carefully combed. The two eunuchs looked at each other and then quietly stepped aside to watch. They were eunuchs, destined to be childless in this life, and the man on the bed had a filial son, which always made them envious.
Gu Xingyan got off his horse in front of the Gu Mansion and took a deep breath before going up the steps. He was ready to come back and make a scene. The Second Young Master Gu had never been involved in the affairs of the harem in his life, but this time his grandfather and eldest brother were not here, and he was sick and could not stand the excitement. The Second Young Master Gu thought, can he still not ask about things at this time?
The butler came out from the mansion with a few managers.
Young Master Gu waved the whip in his hand and said to his guards, "Follow me in."
The housekeeper followed Gu Xingyan into the mansion and said, "Second Young Master, the old lady is ill and said she won't see you today."
The housekeeper looked embarrassed when he said this. The second young master came all the way back from Wangxiang Pass, and the old lady just said she didn't want to see him. This was too unreasonable!
Gu Xingyan glanced at the housekeeper.
The butler lowered his head.
Young Master Gu asked, "Where does Ruan Tian live?"
When the housekeeper heard Young Master Gu's question, his heart skipped a beat and he thought something bad was going to happen.
"Speak," Gu Xingyan said coldly.
The butler said, "Second, Second Young Master, my cousin..." The butler stuttered and couldn't say a complete sentence. If he didn't say it, he would offend the Second Young Master. If he said it, he would offend the old lady. He couldn't afford to offend either of them.
Seeing that the butler didn't respond to him, Gu Xingyan raised the whip in his hand and hit the butler.
The butler knelt on the ground, not daring to cry out in pain.
Young Master Gu pointed his whip at the butler and said, "Speak!"
The housekeeper had no choice but to reply, "Miss, Miss lives with the old lady."
"Damn it," Gu Xingyan cursed and turned to walk towards the old lady's yard.
Several personal soldiers followed their master reluctantly.
Madam Lin came out holding Gu Xu to greet her husband. After seeing this, she quickly ordered the maid beside her, "Go and tell the eldest young master's wife that the second young master is going to cause trouble. Tell her to find a way to get the third young master back."
The maid was already frightened when she saw the Second Young Master Gu whipping someone. After hearing what Madam Lin said, she quickly lifted up her skirt and ran to find Madam Sun.
Mrs. Lin hugged Gu Xu and ran to Gu Xingyan. She knew what kind of temper her man had. He would dare to set fire to the house when he got angry! If he had a fight with the old lady and made her angry, would her husband still be able to live as a human being?
"That's your father, why don't you call him quickly?" Gu Xingyan walked fast and Mrs. Lin couldn't catch up with him. After calling him several times, Gu Xingyan ignored her, so Mrs. Lin had no choice but to teach Gu Xu a lesson.
"Dad!" Gu Xu shouted at Gu Xingyan.
Hearing his son calling, Gu Xingyan finally stopped.
Mrs. Lin quickly ran to Gu Xingyan with her son in her arms.
Gu Xingyan walked a few steps towards Madam Lin, touched her son's head, and said, "You little brat, how old are you? Do you still need your mother to hold you?"
Gu Xu leaned forward and asked Gu Xingyan to hug him.
Mrs. Lin took the opportunity to push her son into Gu Xingyan's arms and said, "You are so angry when you come back. What's wrong?"
Gu Xingyan put his son on the ground and said, "Take him back to his room."
Madam Lin reached out and pulled Gu Xingyan, whispering, "What do you want to see grandma for?"
Gu Xingyan said: "This matter is not over yet."
Mrs. Lin asked anxiously, "Did my third brother say anything to you?"
Gu Xingyan said: "What can he say to me with his taciturn mouth?"
That's the princess? Madam Lin gritted her teeth. She knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess was not an honest person. She let it go on the surface, but secretly let her husband make trouble again. Their third room had a good reputation, and her husband had a reputation as an unfilial son. Wasn't Her Royal Highness the Princess too calculating?
"I've thought about it," Gu Xingyan looked at Mrs. Lin and said seriously, "I'll take you and Xu'er like Xinglang and the others, and live alone from now on."
Mrs. Lin suddenly looked up at Gu Xingyan.
Gu Xingyan looked down at Gu Xu who was hugging her legs, and whispered, "I didn't just listen to the princess about the family matters. I asked someone to come back and inquire about it."
Mrs. Lin was surprised and asked, "When did this happen?"
"Do you think that the people under my command are just idlers?" Gu Xingyan said with a smile: "It was just a commotion in the courtyard at the front gate, and the emperor also showed up. Can this matter be concealed?"
Mrs. Lin remained silent.
"The princess saved our Gu family," said the second young master Gu. "Even grandma can't tolerate her, so how good can she be to you? Forget it. We can live freely outside. We can live the way we want. This is also good."
Madam Lin certainly hopes to move out of the house, but don’t they want to give up such a huge family business?
"I can support you," Gu Xingyan said, "Are you willing to come with me?"
Mrs. Lin looked at Gu Xingyan in a daze, as if it was the first day she met this tall young man in front of her.
"Ahui?" Young Master Gu called Mrs. Lin by her maiden name.
"Okay," Mrs. Lin suddenly wanted to find a place to have a good cry. She had been calculating over the years, but all her thoughts were no match for this man's words: I will support you, are you willing to come with me?
This is not about obeying the husband. Mrs. Lin looked at Gu Xingyan standing in the night. She thought that she was completely devoted to this man, so if this man wanted to leave, she would follow him, even to the ends of the earth.
