“He’s quite cunning. My nephew thinks he’s the kind of person who’s intelligent,” Gu Nian said with concern.
“Niannian, your father has controlled the government for over ten years, relying on his own abilities. He only reached the position of second only to the emperor through the sacrifices of women. Do you think he can do anything to me?” Gu Shouxin said confidently.
"Yes, yes, yes, Father is the Ninth Prince. Please forgive me, Your Excellency, I forgot for a moment!" Gu Nian cupped his hands, his tone carrying a hint of a smile.
Gu Shouxin knew she was remembering the eunuch's voice from earlier. He originally wanted to pat her head as punishment, but he only realized his daughter was wearing a bamboo hat when he raised his hand. He could only shake his head and smile helplessly.
"Hehehe, Dad, your voice is absolutely amazing! It gave me goosebumps!" Gu Nian said with a smile.
“Your voice is absolutely amazing! It makes me worry about my future son-in-law. If, during the wedding, he lifts the veil and you suddenly blurt out in that voice, ‘Husband, wait,’ tsk tsk tsk, I don’t even want to think about it,” Gu Shouxin replied without any politeness.
"Hahaha, Dad, stop talking! If you keep talking, I'll never be able to look my boyfriend the same way again!" Gu Nian laughed loudly.
"By the way, Dad, do you have any follow-up plans?" Gu Nian asked after laughing.
"Yes. I had that kid throw a letter at the Zhou residence at midnight. I didn't give a specific address, just that it was somewhere around Sanchakou Village. The Zhou family didn't come looking for us tonight, but they definitely will tomorrow," Gu Shouxin said.
"We can only do this much since we can't kill him. Consider it venting Xin Xin's anger from the previous life. In this life, we'll protect Xin Xin and be wary of Lu Zheng. From now on, apart from preventing him from getting close to Xin Xin, let's treat him like a normal person!" Gu Shouxin sighed with some regret.
"As long as he doesn't get close to Xin Xin, everything will be fine. Anyway, he'll be going back in less than two years. His family still has a title waiting for him to inherit, he still has his mother's revenge to take, and he still has his ambitions!" Gu Nian beat up the scumbag and vented her anger.
Gu Xin is safe and sound by their side. If Gu Xin's fate in this life is the same as in the book, then it can only be said that the three of them failed to protect her.
...
Inside the cabin, the Gu family father and daughter had been gone for quite some time before Lu Zheng finally came to his senses.
He groped his way to a bowl, then smashed it on the ground. While picking up the pieces, he cut his hand again. With difficulty, he cut the rope, removed the blindfold, and then stretched his muscles.
The Gu family father and daughter didn't hold back their punches, and Lu Zheng felt like his body was about to fall apart, reminding him of the time he spent training in the army after returning to the capital from his ancestral home in his previous life.
He was now certain that the two men who had kidnapped him had no intention of killing him; they were merely verifying his identity, and they were not the people he had just thought wanted to kill him.
Nevertheless, he was determined to avenge this grudge.
And then there was the old man who said he relied on women, young girls. He was a little worried. Could it be that there were other people in this world who had lived a second life like him?
"Boom!"
"Click!"
Thunder rumbled outside again, and lightning flashed across the sky, pulling Lu Zheng out of his thoughts.
He walked to the door, intending to check the situation outside, but as soon as he moved, his legs suddenly went weak, and he almost knelt down. Fortunately, the table next to him supported him and prevented him from falling.
