Gu Xinglang followed behind Gu Xingnuo and said, "Brother, you just came to tell me that I lost the sachet?"
Gu Xingnuo turned his back to Gu Xinglang and waved his hand, saying, "I came to see you by the way."
Gu Xinglang sent Gu Xingnuo to the gate of the mansion, watched Gu Xingnuo get on the horse, and asked in a low voice: "Did something happen?"
Gu Xingnuo sat on the horse and asked, "When did you leave the house?"
Gu Xinglang said: "About half an hour ago."
"Then where did you buy the sweet potatoes?" Gu Xingnuo asked again.
"The vegetable market," Gu Xinglang asked curiously, "Brother, why are you asking this?"
"Where is that shop?" Gu Xingnuo asked again.
Gu Xinglang said: "It seems to be the sixth one from the positive number. Why are you asking this?" It can't be that his eldest brother also wants to buy sweet potatoes, right?
Young Master Gu sat on his horse, tapped Gu Xinglang's head with his bent finger, and said, "To prevent you from doing anything naughty."
Gu Xingnuo rode away on his horse. Gu Xinglang stood in front of the door and thought for a long time. What could he do?
The head of the eldest master stuck his head out of the door. After watching Young Master Gu disappear, he ran out of the door and said to Gu Xinglang, "Prince Consort, don't you understand what the young master said?"
Gu Xinglang said: "What can I do?"
The eldest master smacked his lips, came close to Gu Xinglang, and whispered, "The eldest master is afraid that you will go out to find a woman."
Gu Xinglang's expression immediately turned cold.
The eldest master was used to the cold face of the prince consort, so he was not afraid. He still said without shutting up: "Think about it, you go out late at night, and you are alone, so the eldest master is right to worry."
Gu Xinglang turned around and went into the house to talk to this guy. He was really having a brain attack.
The eldest boss chased after Gu Xinglang and said, "Prince Consort, the princess and my wife are still waiting for the roasted sweet potatoes. I just want to know, when can my wife and I go to bed tonight?"
Gu Xinglang walked into the corridor without saying a word and pointed at the cloth bag on the ground.
The eldest boss resigned himself to the fate and put the cloth bag on his shoulders, saying: "Prince consort, you have to make the princess change her nature of wanting to eat at any time." It's okay for Her Royal Highness the Princess to torment her own man, but she also keeps his wife awake at night, what's going on?
Gu Xinglang walked forward and said, "You can go and try."
The boss...
Gu Xingnuo rode to the vegetable market on horseback. At this moment, Young Master Gu didn't care whether he was disturbing other people or not. He knocked on several shop doors and confirmed that Gu Xinglang really came to the vegetable market to buy sweet potatoes.
The boss looked at Gu Xingnuo with a bitter face. It seemed that he would not be able to sleep tonight.
Gu Xingnuo stood in front of the store and asked the boss: "When did that man come to your place?"
The boss said, "An hour ago."
An hour ago? Gu Xingnuo's heart tightened again. Gu Xinglang had told him more than half an hour ago, so the time didn't match.
The boss asked, "What would you like to buy?"
Gu Xingnuo turned over and got on the horse.
The boss watched Gu Xingnuo riding away on his horse and wanted to scold him, but Gu Xingnuo looked like he was either rich or noble, so the boss did not dare to scold him.
Gu Xingnuo rode his horse back to the Gu Mansion at a gallop. He did not go back to his room to rest. Instead, he sat in the study alone, without turning on the light, and sat in the dark.
Soon, Madam Sun came to the study door with ginseng soup and a few plates of snacks and called out, "General?"
"Come in," Gu Xingnuo responded.
Madam Sun walked into the room in the dark, put down the tray in her hand, and lit the candle in the study. Seeing Gu Xingnuo sitting there with his hands on his ribs, Madam Sun hurriedly asked, "Does the wound hurt again?"
Gu Xingnuo put his hand down, picked up the ginseng soup on the tray and drank a few sips, and said, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Madam Sun said, "I heard from the guards who came back that a family in the other courtyard was wiped out?"
"Well," Gu Xingnuo put down the ginseng soup bowl and whispered, "The people from the Dali Temple have already gone."
Mrs. Sun patted her chest and asked, "How could this happen?"
Gu Xingnuo shook his head.
Mrs. Sun said, "Can mother still live in the other courtyard?"
"Nothing," Gu Xingnuo said, "With so many guards protecting the courtyard, what kind of criminal could break into the courtyard?"
"But……"
"You go and have a rest," Gu Xingnuo rubbed his eyes and let Mrs. Sun go.
Mrs. Sun said, "Grandmother is also anxious to see you, General. What do you think?"
"Young Master," the butler's voice came from outside the door.
"Speak," said Gu Xingnuo.
The housekeeper said, "Zhao Beicheng is outside the door asking to see you."
"Who?" Young Master Gu thought he had heard wrongly.
The housekeeper said, "Zhao Beicheng is outside the door asking for an audience. He said he has something important to discuss with the young master."
Madam Sun asked in surprise, "Why is he here?" Apart from revenge, Madam Sun could not think of why this Lord Zhao would come to the Gu family.
Gu Xingnuo hesitated for a moment and ordered the butler, "Please ask him to come in."
The butler replied "yes" and turned away.
Madam Sun asked worriedly, "Why would Zhao Beicheng come to see the general?"
Gu Xingnuo smiled and said, "Can he rush into my house and kill me? Go to sleep."
Zhao Beicheng was not a relative of the Gu family, so Madam Sun could not accompany Gu Xingnuo and had to leave with her maid.
After a while, Zhao Beicheng was led by the housekeeper to Gu Xingnuo's study.
Young Master Gu stood up to greet him and ordered the butler to serve tea.
Zhao Beicheng was dressed in shorts and looked out of place sitting in a chair in the study.
Gu Xingnuo did not exchange pleasantries with Zhao Beicheng and asked directly, "Duke Zhao came to visit so late at night. What's the matter?"
Zhao Beicheng felt irritated when he heard people calling him Duke Zhao. He looked up at Gu Xingnuo and said, "I'm a commoner now." How can a commoner be a duke?
Gu Xingnuo smiled and bowed, saying, "I'm used to being called that. Forgive me."
Zhao Beicheng said: "I saw Gu Xinglang at the Shuiguan Bridge in front of the vegetable market tonight."
Gu Xingnuo looked at Zhao Beicheng without saying a word, waiting for Zhao Beicheng to come down.
Zhao Beicheng said: "A little woman was about to jump off the bridge, but was saved by Gu Xinglang."
"What?" Gu Xingnuo put his hand on the table. Why didn't Gu Xinglang tell him about this?
Zhao Beicheng said: "After he saved the young woman, an old couple came and said they were the young woman's parents-in-law. They knelt on the ground and thanked Gu Xinglang for saving their daughter-in-law. Gu Xinglang was stopped by them on the bridge and was delayed for a long time."
Gu Xingnuo said: "You used the word 'yes' just now. Could it be that the old couple lied? Aren't they the young woman's parents-in-law?"
Zhao Beicheng shook his head and said, "I don't know if it is true or not. I only know that this person knows martial arts. After Gu Xinglang left, they went directly across the water."
How could someone who could cross the water jump off a bridge to commit suicide? Young Master Gu knew that tonight's matter would be resolved.
"Why are you at Shuiguan Bridge?" Gu Xingnuo asked Zhao Beicheng, "It's so late, why are you not resting at the inn? What are you doing at Shuiguan Bridge?"
"I'm helping people transport vegetables now," Zhao Beicheng said calmly, "That was when I was working."
Gu Xingnuo was stunned. Transporting vegetables? The former Duke of the Zhao Mansion helped people transport vegetables to make money?
