Gu Shouxin: "Yes, Mother."
Gu Ren looked at Grandma Gu in horror: "Grandma, I'm still young."
Grandma Gu sneered, "Now you know you're still young? When you were playing the hero, didn't you say you were still young? Since you like playing the hero, you need to have the ability to match it. Your third sister isn't here today, would you dare to do this?"
Gu Ren pursed her lips.
To be honest, he's still young. If Gu Xin isn't around, and he encounters a kidnapper, he'll definitely run away; he certainly won't walk right into their trap.
Grandma Gu continued, "If you had encountered a team like your three brothers-in-laws today, even with your third sister there, you two would have been finished. Xin Xin might have been able to escape, but with you, who can't do anything, she definitely wouldn't have the heart to abandon you, and you would have become a burden! So, in order not to be a burden, from now on, start improving your own skills! Don't you dislike studying? Then practice martial arts for me. The day you can last half an hour against each of your three brothers-in-laws, the day you can make your own decisions."
"Huh?" Gu Ren's face fell. "Grandma, can you find someone else? My brother, as long as you can beat him up, okay?"
Grandma Gu said sternly, "No."
Gu Ren was about to cry.
An old lady's decision is generally something that cannot be refuted.
He would have to endure his three brothers-in-law for half an hour unless they were all very old.
The key point is that he's only a dozen years younger than them. These three are all over fifty, and he's almost forty. What's the point of going out to play when you're forty? This isn't a modern place with convenient transportation.
Waaaaah...
In the end, Gu Xin and Gu Ren were punished by being forbidden from leaving the house for ten days, and Gu Ren was punished by having sandbags tied to his hands and feet starting tomorrow.
...
Since Gu Xin couldn't go out, she could only listen to Gu Si and Gu Yingxue bring back news, or send Bai Er out for a walk to hear about the fate of those beggars.
On the day Gu Xin was allowed to leave the house, the government office released its findings.
After investigation, a major case was uncovered that even the Jingzhao Prefecture couldn't handle, so the matter was transferred to the Dali Temple.
It is said that a large organization was uncovered during the investigation, with officials from Jiangnan also involved. The emperor was furious and dispatched Chen Yujiang, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, to Jiangnan to conduct a thorough investigation.
A covert investigation would certainly provide Chen Yujiang with a pretext from the past, otherwise it would alert the enemy.
Therefore, Chen Yujiang is going to take Lu Xue and the child to Jiangnan.
Lu Zheng was the one who interrogated the leader of the beggar gang. No one knows what methods he used to get this result, but it is said that the leader had gone mad.
During the ten days that Gu Xin was confined to her home, Cai Xiaolian's business center officially began construction. She was very busy all day long, and her three sons were taken care of by Grandma Gu and Zhang Shi along with her.
At the end of the month, Chen Yujiang was going to take Lu Xue and their son to Jiangnan. Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Xiao would not be going with them. They were getting old, and Lu Zheng was also in Beijing, so the couple felt at ease leaving the elderly couple in Beijing.
Before leaving, Lu Xue prepared a meal at home, inviting the Gu family, Lu Zheng, and the Duke of Zhenguo to their place for a farewell dinner.
On the morning of the 28th day of the first lunar month, the family of three left the capital.
Gu Xin returned to her normal life. Originally, the Emperor intended to reward Gu Xin and Gu Ren because of this case, but after Gu's grandfather spoke up, he decided not to. As a result, Gu Ren lost the reward he wanted for his meritorious service and was even punished. He was extremely depressed.
