"You vicious woman, you will not die a good death. I will report you to the palace. I want you to feel the pain of falling from the clouds. Even the child in your belly must die."
"You're so shameless. I didn't want to fight you, but you took the initiative to ask for a fight. Wang Yi, do it."
Gu Jiu's face was grim.
It doesn't matter if you scold her, she doesn't care.
But she would never allow anyone to curse her child.
Children are her Achilles' heel!
Chaoyang doesn't know what's good for him, so she doesn't need to be polite.
Wang Yi was overjoyed to get the permission. He stepped forward, picked up Chaoyang, and slapped him more than a dozen times.
"Old witch, I told you to clean your mouth. Today I will clean your mouth for my master. If I hear you curse again, I will break your teeth."
After the fight, Wang Yi threw Chaoyang to the ground, clapped his hands, and returned to Gu Jiu in a leisurely manner.
Gu Jiu was disgusted, "Stinky!"
Wang Yi felt so wronged that she had to take two steps back.
Chaoyang's cheeks were swollen and his eyes were only a slit.
She tried to open her eyes wide to see clearly the vicious woman in front of her.
Gu Jiu guessed what she was thinking as soon as he saw her.
People like Chaoyang will never give in easily.
She said to Chaoyang, "Watch your mouth. I can't kill you, but it's easy for me to make you suffer a fate worse than death. You'd better think before you speak."
"You, you..."
Wang Yi glared.
Chaoyang immediately changed his tone, "How can I know whether what you said is true or not?"
Gu Jiu sneered, "You have no choice. Either you believe me, or you continue to live. Just wait and see whether all your children and grandchildren will die."
"You, you...if I promise to end my life, who can guarantee that you will let my children and grandchildren go?"
"No one can guarantee that. I've said this, and you can only choose to believe me."
Chaoyang's eyes were cold and filled with hatred. "You, you, I hope you can keep your promise. If you deny it, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."
Gu Jiu winked.
Wang Yixin was reluctant and took out a porcelain bottle containing the best anti-inflammatory medicine, which she applied on Chaoyang's face.
Gu Jiu said, "Don't think too much. This lady just hopes that you can die with dignity. You don't want to die with a swollen face, do you?"
Chaoyang sneered, "You're obviously afraid that someone will hold you accountable for assaulting me later."
Gu Jiu snorted, "It's good that you know. This medicine is very effective. The swelling on your face will go away quickly, leaving only a few inconspicuous marks. It's really a waste to use such good medicine on the face of a dying person."
"You don't have to apply medicine to me." Chaoyang scolded Gu Jiu angrily for being hypocritical.
Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "This lady won't bother with you. I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. My patience is limited, so I will only give you one day at most. If I don't hear from you after one day, your son and grandson will be infected with the epidemic. You know the consequences."
After saying that, Gu Jiu stood up and left.
"ah……"
Chaoyang shouted with all his might, all his unwillingness, dissatisfaction and resentment were contained in this shout.
Gu Jiu ignored him and left Zongzheng Temple without stopping.
Wang Yi washed his hands and hurried to catch up.
Gu Jiu sat in the carriage, staring at Wang Yi's hands.
Wang Yi spread out her hands, "I have washed them clean."
"Come up!"
Wang Yi was beaming. It was a close call that the lady disliked her and prevented her from getting on the carriage.
"Madam, are we going back to the palace directly?"
"Go to the Shaofu."
Since the incident broke out, the Shaofu Household Manager has written several letters to Gu Jiu.
During that time, Gu Jiu stayed in the palace and it was inconvenient for him to go out.
As the emperor's chief steward, it was not convenient for the Shaofu to go to the prince's palace. There would be suspicion that the Shaofu was colluding with the prince.
The Shaofu Household Manager then wrote a letter to Gu Jiu.
All kinds of thanks, all kinds of apologies, all kinds of sorry. Because of his family affairs, Gu Jiu was implicated and finally caused such a big storm.
Now that the storm has passed, Gu Jiu thought that he had to go to the Shaofu.
Otherwise, the Shaofu Household Manager would be tormented by his conscience at such an old age, and would have a restless bedroom, which would shorten his life.
The carriage turned a corner and headed towards Shaofu.
Upon learning that Gu Jiu had arrived, the old steward of the Shaofu household ran very fast to the gate to greet him.
"Why did the old ancestor come out? I am a junior, how can I be worthy of the old ancestor to personally greet me at the gate."
"Well-deserved, well-deserved!"
The Shaofu's household official was overjoyed, but his heart was relieved.
Since Gu Jiu was willing to come, he naturally didn't care about the trouble caused by his incompetent eldest grandson.
The Shaofu's steward welcomed Gu Jiu into the Shaofu's yamen.
"I knew many people coveted my position, but I didn't expect it would cause such a big disturbance. Alas! If you hadn't been willing to help me this time, I would have had no choice but to retire and return home."
The Shaofu household steward was very emotional.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Old Ancestor, you are wrong. Although the turmoil is great, it is not entirely caused by you. The real reason lies there."
After saying that, Gu Jiu pointed in the direction of the imperial palace.
Emperor Wende wanted military power and political power, so it was only a matter of time before he took action against his civil and military officials.
Even if Princess Chaoyang didn't covet the position of Shaofu's Household Manager, there would be other reasons.
In short, Emperor Wende could no longer bear it. He wanted to take power and consolidate his throne.
This is how the storm arose.
The Shaofu Household Manager naturally understood the reason.
He sighed, "Everyone said your Majesty was kind before, but now it seems that your Majesty is just patient."
Who says it’s not!
When Emperor Wende showed his fangs, those self-righteous and self-righteous court officials realized that he was not a benevolent emperor at all, but a murderous and decisive emperor. He was even more insidious than the previous emperor.
This time, Emperor Wende showed his fangs, making everyone in the court realize that it was not that he did not dare to kill people or launch a large-scale prison. He was just patient and willing to wait for the right opportunity and strike with one strike.
From then on, the court officials naturally became more cautious in front of Emperor Wende.
Gu Jiu advised: "Old Ancestor, think more open-mindedly. You just caught up with this incident this time. Now that everything is safe and sound, His Majesty should not touch the Shaofu in the next three to five years."
The Shaofu Household Manager nodded, but he didn't feel much relieved.
"Yesterday, when I entered the palace to meet His Majesty, I felt that His Majesty had become even more majestic. I felt very stressed. I was worried that I would not do well and anger His Majesty."
"Grandfather, you should relax. What happened in the past will remain the same in the future. As long as you can make money for His Majesty, you are the most suitable person to be the Minister of the Imperial Household."
The Shaofu Household Master gave a wry smile and said, "I am old and can't do this for many more years. But don't worry, I will start looking for candidates from now on and will definitely satisfy you. I won't delay your future business."
Gu Jiu stood up and thanked him solemnly, "I don't know what to say. You have thought so carefully for me. I don't know how to thank you."
The Shaofu Household Officer waved his hands repeatedly, "No need to thank me, I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't intervened for me, I wouldn't have been able to handle Chaoyang." Don't underestimate me because I'm a senior and Shaofu Household Officer, and I seem to have great power.
However, my position is so complex that even a single move could affect the entire organization. If I were to fight Chaoyang, win or lose, my position would have to be taken by someone else. For this position, selfishness is paramount. Fighting Chaoyang would be a manifestation of excessive selfishness, and would surely displease His Majesty. Fortunately, you lent me a helping hand, allowing me to escape unscathed."
"Grandfather, you are too kind. I just did what I should do. Besides, helping the grandfather is actually helping myself. I understand this principle very well."
The Shaofu family commander laughed heartily, "You are not polite at all."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "In front of the ancestor, there is naturally no need to be polite."
The Shaofu Household Commander laughed heartily. "You're right. There's no need to be polite in front of me. It's a pity that you've asked people to look for my useless eldest grandson, but there's still no clue. I don't know where that brat has gone. When I find him, I'll definitely break his legs."
Gu Jiu said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Maybe when my uncle has spent all the money he has, he will come back on his own initiative."
"I hope so!"
The Shaofu Household Manager said that he wanted to break Changsun's legs, but in fact he was still very worried about Changsun's safety.
Gu Jiu sighed, "It's also because my subordinates are incompetent. I boasted so much on a daily basis, but now I can't even find a single person."
"It's none of your business. The brat deliberately hid, so it's normal that we can't find him."
Gu Jiu said: "I hope the ancestor doesn't blame me."
Little did they know that the eldest grandson of the Shaofu Household Manager had already been found and sent to the mines to work as a slave.
Gu Ji was upset that such a big trouble had been caused by him and he had not been taught a lesson.
If you are unhappy, then go mining.
Only after suffering enough will you understand how good it is to have a family, how rare it is to have a prosperous life, and how to cherish it.
Gu Jiu never shows mercy when dealing with such useless playboys.
It’s a pity that the Shaofu Household Manager has to continue to worry about his eldest grandson day and night.
The Imperial Household Supervisor reminded Gu Jiu, "We must hurry up and handle the express delivery. His Majesty asked about this matter when I went to the palace yesterday. If we don't complete the task within the one-year deadline, His Majesty will definitely blame us."
"Thank you for the reminder, ancestor. I have already made a plan for this matter and will get it done soon."
