What is supposed to happen will happen sooner or later.
Gu Cheng brought his men to the small farm owned by Gu Yue, and was stunned when he saw the high walls.
This was no longer the shabby little farm he remembered.
When did Gu Yue spend money to renovate this farm?
Isn't it a bit of a waste to spend money on a farm?
He frowned and went forward to knock on the door.
The doorman opened the door and recognized him, but his expression was as if he had seen a ghost. Without saying a word, he slammed the door shut.
Gu Yan was so angry that he fell backwards.
What an unreasonable concierge.
Which doorman has such a bad temper?
Gu Yan directly ordered his servants to knock on the door.
"Open the door, open the door..."
The servants banged on the door and called for a long time but no one answered.
"Master, no one opened the door. The person inside looks like he's dead. How about we just climb over the wall?"
Gu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Climb over the wall."
The doorman had a look of astonishment on his face, and there was no movement in the yard after knocking on the door for a long time. All of this showed that something shameful was going on in this village.
The servant received instructions, built a human ladder, climbed over the wall and opened the gate of the manor from the inside.
Gu Yan walked in with a serious face.
Zhuangzi is very small, with only two entrances.
Through the front yard is the backyard.
A disheveled man was climbing into the carriage and trying to leave through the back door.
Gu Cheng shouted angrily, "Stop that man."
It's unbearable that a man in disheveled clothes appears in this village.
"Call all the servants here, and don't let any of them leave. Find the Third Aunt, I have something to say..."
"What does Sixth Brother want me to do?"
Gu Yue was wearing an outer robe, with her hair loose and her cheeks rosy. She leaned against the door frame and stared at Gu Yan with a faint look in her eyes.
Gu Yan narrowed his eyes, looked at her, and then looked at the man who was trying to leave through the back door in a carriage.
"You and him, you..."
"My relationship with him is just what Sixth Brother saw." Gu Yue said frankly.
The young man who was caught suddenly shouted, "This is my first time here. It has nothing to do with me. I only knew about this place after someone introduced me to it."
What does this mean?
Gu Yan looked suspicious and was filled with uncertainty.
He thought of something terrible.
Gu Cheng looked at Gu Yue in disbelief.
Gu Yue smiled softly, "Sixth brother, don't look at me. Let him go first. Tell him to leave. What's happening here has nothing to do with him."
"Yeah, yeah, it's my first time here, it really has nothing to do with me."
"You, you..." Gu Cheng's anger rose, his chest heaving violently. He really couldn't believe it.
Gu Yue smiled and said, "Sixth Brother, if you don't want to embarrass the whole capital, just release him first."
"Don't even think about it! Take the man away and interrogate him."
"I'll tell you whatever Sixth Brother wants to know. There's no point asking him. He only knows a few trivial things."
After saying that, Gu Yue turned around and went back to the room.
Gu Yan gritted his teeth and insisted on interrogating the disheveled man.
Just go ahead and try it, Gu Yue doesn’t care.
The disheveled man confessed after being threatened.
"Some say there's a concubine from the royal palace living here. As long as you bring a gift that matches your heart, you'll stay and enjoy some warmth. I, I, I've only been in the capital for half a month. I heard about it and was curious, so I asked someone to introduce me here. When you came, we had just entered the alley and hadn't... For today, I prepared gifts worth a thousand taels, and because of you, I lost it!"
The disheveled man seemed aggrieved.
For these young men from aristocratic families who have not yet established themselves, one thousand taels is not a small sum.
"Shameless!" Gu Yan cursed, "Shut your mouth. If I find out you're talking nonsense outside, I won't let you go. I have plenty of ways to deal with people like you."
"I promise I won't say anything. It's so embarrassing. Can I go now?"
"Get lost!"
What happened next was not convenient for an outsider to see.
Even though Gu Yan was unwilling, he had no choice but to send the disheveled man away.
He strode into the bedroom.
Gu Yue leaned on the soft couch, smiling.
Gu Cheng looked at the luxurious furnishings in the room. What else did he not understand?
"Shameless, despicable! Degrading yourself!"
Gu Yan was so angry that no words could express his rage.
Gu Yue said, "I'm a widow, and I'm getting married for the third time. I don't need the Gu family's consent to be with any man I want. Sixth brother, please don't worry about it."
"Shut up! Look at yourself now. What's the difference between you and those cheap whores out there?"
"Of course there is a difference. Prostitutes don't choose, but I choose men."
"Bullshit! Selling is selling, and you're trying to find a high-sounding excuse to whitewash it. You're just degrading yourself and being a lowly person. I, Gu Cheng, have a sister like you. It's a shame for my life and the entire Gu family. There's no place for someone like you in the Gu family. You don't deserve the surname Gu."
Gu Cheng was so angry that his eyes turned red and his gaze was filled with resentment.
For a moment, he really wanted to kill Gu Yue.
How could she tarnish the Gu family and the Gu surname like this?
Does she still have any shame?
Gu Yue snorted coldly, "Sixth Brother, besides calling me a bitch, what else do you want to say? I don't want to get married. If you don't agree, I'll pick a few men myself and keep them as concubines. So, do you think I'm embarrassed?"
"Keeping a lover? Haha! What qualifications do you have to keep a lover? Look at the decorations in your room. Are you keeping a lover or selling your body? Gu Yue, do you have any sense of shame?" Gu Yan asked sternly.
Gu Yue was annoyed, "Gu Cheng, don't go too far."
Bang!
Gu Yan really couldn't control himself and slapped Gu Yue on the cheek.
This was the first time he hit Gu Yue.
Many times, he was willing to give Gu Yue a chance to mend her ways and help her. But this time, he would never forgive her again.
What Gu Yue did clearly crossed the bottom line and cannot be tolerated.
Gu Yue couldn't believe it. "You actually hit me? You actually hit me?"
Gu Cheng said angrily, "I'm going to hit you. Now pack up and come back with me. I'll decide how to deal with you after we get back."
"I'm not going back."
Gu Yue screamed in shock.
"You dare not go back? Now you have no right to say no."
Gu Cheng was so angry that he didn't give Gu Yue any face. He ordered his men to pack up Gu Yue's luggage and drag her into the carriage.
Gu Yue cursed, "Gu Cheng, you are not a human being, you will not die well..."
"Shut her mouth."
The servant received the order, took out a rag and stuffed it into Gu Yue's mouth, and the world finally became quiet.
All the servants in the manor were taken away, leaving no one behind.
Send someone else to guard this village.
As Gu Yue's personal maid, the maid Grape was the first to be hit.
Gu Yan looked at her with a fierce look.
Grapes are not guilty either.
It was all Gu Yue's fault that she had gotten to this point. She was just following orders.
The carriage returned to the Gu family farm.
Mrs. Hu has been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Gu Cheng's gloomy face, she asked with concern: "What's going on? Didn't you find Third Aunt?"
"The person is in the carriage. We'll tell you the details when we get back."
Hu was suspicious, "What happened?"
Gu Cheng's face was expressionless, and he refused to speak. It was too embarrassing.
Hu had no choice but to give up.
Gu Cheng was in a hurry to bring the people back to the Gu Mansion and had no time to deal with the people in the farm.
On the way back, Gu Cheng revealed the truth of the matter to Mrs. Hu.
Mrs. Hu covered her mouth, looking terrified.
"How can Third Aunt be so desperate that she would humiliate herself like this?"
Gu Cheng snorted coldly, "I think she's happy with it and isn't willing to come back."
Hu couldn't understand Gu Yue's train of thought at all.
Why don't you want to be a good and innocent person, but choose to be a slut who can be slept with by anyone? What's the point?
Is it just for love and pleasure in bed?
"So what do we do now?"
Gu Yue has become a hot potato, a disaster if kept in the hands.
Gu Cheng was also preoccupied with the lawsuit. "Let's take the person back first."
Mrs. Hu asked a crucial question, "Should we tell the master and the mistress?"
Gu Yan looked hesitant.
Mrs. Hu said softly, "I can probably guess how the master will react. But don't try to guess as to the mistress."
Xie's temper became more and more unpredictable.
If she knew about Gu Yue, she would probably go even crazier.
Gu Cheng frowned, "You mean hiding it from the wife?"
"I would like to keep it secret from my wife, but if the master gets angry, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from my wife either."
Both couples were very worried.
Gu Yue is a hot potato that must be dealt with.
But we have to come up with a solution as to how to deal with it.
Logically speaking, it would be best to ask Lord Gu to take charge of this matter.
However, Lord Gu had such a violent temper that he might have beaten Gu Yue to death directly. A sudden death would give rise to many associations.
If any gossip spreads at that time, the Gu family will lose all their face.
Mrs. Hu said hesitantly, "How about asking Second Aunt to come forward? Second Aunt is very capable and has many solutions."
Gu Cheng looked hesitant, "We'll discuss this matter when we get back."
Hu didn't force it.
Gu Cheng quietly brought Gu Yue back to the Gu Mansion without daring to disturb anyone.
First, lock up the people in the village and interrogate them one by one.
After getting the confession, Gu Yan knew that it would be impossible for him to handle this matter completely by himself.
Either ask Lord Gu to come forward, or ask Gu Jiu to come forward.
After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Yan wrote a letter to Gu Jiu and asked someone to take it to the palace.
In his heart, Gu Jiu is more reliable.
