"Second Uncle, if you don't explain yourself clearly today, you can forget about sleeping with me!" Back at Grandma Xiao's place, Lu Zheng grabbed Gu Shouxin's hand and wouldn't let him leave.
Gu Shouxin looked at his hands, then at Lu Zheng's shameless appearance, and smirked: You are younger than me, but how can you, a thirty-something-year-old soul, act like a spoiled child?
"Second Uncle, tell me! I'm so curious! Did you contact Lord He a long time ago? Did you subdue Meng Meng and then collude with you? Also, did you know all along that the man surnamed Cheng was selling smuggled salt and iron?" Lu Zheng ignored Gu Shouxin's disdainful look and only asked what he wanted to know.
He didn't know how the Cheng family was ruined in his previous life. He only knew how Cheng's father-in-law was ruined, and he thought that the Cheng family was implicated by the Sun family, and in the end, only Cheng Rui was left.
But now it seems that the Cheng family may have brought this upon themselves!
"That day, I was bored and thought I'd go up to the roof of the county government office to look at the moon!" Gu Shouxin looked up at the sky.
"Which day? It couldn't have been a few days ago! The moon wasn't anything special a few days ago!" Lu Zheng said.
"Then let's look at the stars!" Gu Shouxin laughed nonchalantly. "Then Cheng Rui ruined my stargazing mood. I saw him make a deal with Meng Meng! Cheng Rui wanted to collude with the examinees to make me cheat, arrest me and bring me to the yamen, so he could have someone arrest my wife and daughter on a dark and windy night, and then set my house on fire!"
"So what happened? Why did Meng Meng turn the tables on us? What method did you use, Second Uncle?" Lu Zheng asked.
"Want to know?" Gu Shouxin asked with a smile.
"Mhm!" Lu Zheng nodded.
"I'm not telling you!" Gu Shouxin shook off Lu Zheng and left.
"Second Uncle!" Lu Zheng chased after him.
Gu Shouxin made a move, and Lu Zheng countered.
The two fought fiercely in the yard, waking up Granny Wang who was looking after the house. Granny Wang even got up to cook noodles for them.
The noise woke up the woman next door, who yelled from under the neighbor's wall, "Can't a person get any sleep?! Don't think that just because you're both men, you can make more noise than men and women! Watch out, or I'll come over and teach you both a lesson, and show you what it's like to be a man and a woman!"
Men with men, okay, Lu Zheng and Gu Shouxin can't stand others suspecting that they have this kind of relationship, they absolutely won't allow it!
"Young Master, Second Master Gu, the noodles are ready. You must be tired after working for so long! Come and eat and rest. Just leave the bowls behind when you're done, I'll wash them tomorrow morning!" Granny Wang came out and called the two of them to eat noodles.
“Okay, Grandma Wang!” Lu Zheng said.
Gu Shouxin nodded to Granny Wang.
"Second Uncle, it was so exhilarating to fight you! Much more enjoyable than practicing swordsmanship alone!" Lu Zheng said cheerfully, wiping his face and neck with a handkerchief.
"Don't even think about me, my heart belongs only to your aunt!" Gu Shouxin said.
Lu Zheng: "...Second Uncle, you learned your narcissism from your eldest uncle, didn't you? Right, right?"
Gu Shouxin tapped Lu Zheng on the head and laughed, "You brat, are you imitating my girl?"
Lu Zheng: "Look, Second Uncle, you learned that way of tapping people's heads from Eldest Uncle. If Enzi and Renren were here, would you make the three of us stand in a row?"
Gu Shouxin paused, as if his elder brother did have this problem!
Oh no, Nian Nian kept reminding me not to spend too much time with my older brother. He's really something else! He can influence people like that?
"Coo-coo! Coo-coo!" At that moment, a distinct sound of a person imitating a bird's call rang out from outside.
Lu Zheng grinned mischievously at Gu Shouxin: "I recognize that voice, it's Meng Meng's. Second Uncle, he's here to see you, isn't he!"
