Chapter 103 Taking the Initiative



Lord Gu sighed inwardly.

All he wanted to do right now was carry his wife back to Wutong Garden and have a good sleep with her. Why did Gu Jingjun have to be so clueless as to bump into him?

Lord Gu frowned, about to reprimand Gu Jingjun.

Qin Yuan awkwardly whispered in his ear, "Husband, you can't just ignore Sixth Master like this. Why don't you put me down?"

In just a short while, Sixth Master Gu cried even louder, as if he wanted to come over and make a scene with Marquis Gu.

There's no reasoning with a drunk person.

There's no reasoning with people who are pretending to be drunk.

The sight of Sixth Master Gu weeping uncontrollably was truly unbearable to watch, yet it was impossible to ignore.

Gu Jinghui thought to himself that he wasn't afraid of that bastard Lao Liu, nor was he afraid that his mother would beat him up for neglecting Lao Liu in the future. He just didn't want to scare his little wife, so he compromised.

"All right."

Ni Yao smiled and nodded.

Looking at the long, intertwined shadows of the two figures on the ground, so tender and beautiful, Lord Gu couldn't help but shed tears again.

Ni Yaomeng then took the Marquis's hand and walked quickly behind him.

"Can……"

“You’re a complete scoundrel,” Gu Jinghui muttered. “I really want to give you a good beating. I’ll remember this for now and settle the score later.”

Qin Yuan and Hongye waited anxiously on the corridor. Having learned their lesson, they dared not discuss it again, but instead of staying outside, they talked with a group of maids and servants inside.

The red leaves are going to be disappointed again.

Gu Jinghui and Lin Ziqi are both gossipy.

Although Hongye brought it up again, her eyes crinkled with laughter as she watched us walk out hand in hand.

Gu Jingjun said angrily, "He'll be waiting for you outside. You take his sister-in-law back first, then come and hear what's bothering him."

Master Gu struck first.

Disdainfully tearing Gu Jinghui apart, Gu Jingjun's voice was hot and harsh: "Let's go, you naughty boy, you're so unruly. You pretended to be crazy and said nonsense in front of his sister-in-law while drunk. Da Xin, you beat him up."

I paused for a moment, then said patiently, "Let's make some tea."

"Alright, he's going to Wutong Garden with you. Today you should be naughty and listen to what he's really going to do, whether he's suffering or not."

The Marquis thought for a moment and said, "Prepare it."

Qin Yuan spoke up, then suddenly said, "What, what's going on..."

When Master Gu saw Hongye bring back the hangover soup, he asked, "Did Madam send it over?"

After the red leaves were removed from the soup, Lord Gu was crying to my naughty myna bird: "...You weren't a shrewish or cunning person at your family home. You were blind to have chosen you, thinking that marrying you would make you a good housekeeper and serve your mother...You can even read a few words...You always told Mother and my naive brother about the bad things you did. They only complained that you had taken so few concubines. You did it all for the sake of the Gu family to have more children. Mother always cried secretly at this time...You're getting old now...My naive brother, just looking at your face, scratched like that, you wouldn't even dare to go out...You just wanted to redeem a pipa player, and you made a scene...How could we live without you...Who can understand your difficulties..."

"Third brother, third brother, you don't love me anymore."

The Marquis thought, "The sons of the Gu family are all bad-looking. Gu Jinghui's appearance is also strange. It's no wonder that Aunt Zheng is so upset. She even threatened to kill herself because of me."

Gu Jinghui put Qin Yuan down, then scolded Gu Jingjun, "What kind of state are you in? You look terrible! What's troubling you? Tell your mother and me properly, and we'll take care of you. You've made such a scene in front of your third sister-in-law. Wait until you're sober tomorrow, and see how you'll face anyone."

Qin Yuan nodded.

Gu Jinghui then grinned, leaning on the servant to stand up, and said with a sidelong glance, "Eighth Brother, your bad Eighth Brother, you listen to him."

This refined and delicate appearance was finally barely preserved, and it lacked some of the spoiled and unruly air of a playboy.

Yes, we must take precautions.

"how?"

The two stood on tiptoe, wishing their eyes could penetrate the dim night light. As they looked, the petite Cui Ming, holding a lamp in one hand and supporting her older sister with the other, finally came into view.

"It must be Cuiming and his wife who have returned."

The Marquis laughed and said, "It's just a coincidence. Later, he will guard the door and tell all the head maids to stay far away. Cuiming wants to have a private conversation with the Eighth Prince, so don't let anyone hear it. Let Hongye come back to help you with your toilette."

Gu Jingjun glanced at the eager Hongye and said, "He put it down and it broke. The bowl was used and then put away. He went back and told Madam that Eighth Prince told you late that you have to go to the palace early tomorrow, so he told you to go to sleep first while he waited for you."

Ni Yao was talking to Qin Yuan when she saw you retreat and asked, "Is Eighth Master still bad?"

The Marquis tugged at Gu Jingjun's sleeve.

But it's also ugly.

The two men, surprised and puzzled, went down to greet them. Gu Jingjun said, "They've taken Madam back. You and Eighth Master, please go sit in the hall..."

Gu Jingjun was willing, but then he thought, who knows what kind of trouble that bastard Lao Ba would cause if he left him waiting outside.

The servant helped Lord Gu stagger along in front of him.

"……he……"

Hongye shouted, "We're so in love!"

Hongye quickly agreed, instructed the head maid to prepare tea, and then took the horn lantern from Gu Jingjun, hung it on the corridor, before returning to the main room.

Ni Yaomeng turned her face away, and her expression softened.

Hongye also noticed it and hesitated before asking, "...Eighth Master...?"

He couldn't help but glance at Gu Jinghui less.

Hongye hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Cuiming, Madam said that she was afraid that Eighth Prince was feeling unwell, so she asked me to make some hangover soup. The taste is terrible, so Eighth Prince, please just drink it."

"Myth brother, please keep an eye on you, please keep an eye on you! You're so naughty, it's been so long since he's talked to you like that. Does he think you're capable, that you're useless?"

Qin Yuan asked, "How did Eighth Master manage to bump into him?"

After a short while, the old women guarding the courtyard became quiet.

Ni Yao said loudly, "Eighth Brother is like that, I'm afraid he really has nothing on his mind. Whether he's vomiting or not, if someone helps him to Wutong Garden, he can ask me mischievously. It's not that far from Wutong Garden."

It's embarrassing as it is, but I've really been living a miserable life.

It is also known that Gu Jinghui is troubled because his face is injured and he has nowhere to go outside the mansion, or because he has money to redeem the pipa boy.

When he was young, Master Gu was frail and was taken care of by his older brothers. Now, with the effects of the alcohol, he became so shameless that even the servant supporting him was embarrassed and dared not raise his head.

One is to investigate, Gu Jingjun hasn't been held tightly by Gu Jinghui yet.

Hongye said, "It's still bad. It's not like we're not drunk yet. Cuiming and Eighth Master are sitting in the hall, and the head maid hasn't gone to make tea yet. So I came over to ask if we should prepare some hangover soup."

Hongye went inside to call the head maid to start the fire, which meant she was now the cook. You can also make soup yourself.

Cui Ming was petite and pretty, while my elder sister leaned on me, tall and delicate.

Gu Jingjun grabbed your hand and said, "Don't mind me, let's go, let me follow ahead."

So that when Lord Gu goes out later and sees that the main room light is off, he won't start speculating again.
