Chapter 412 Uncle and Dad Argue!
"Your Majesty, why are you here when you're not in the palace?"
Gu Ting looked at the emperor and the empress in surprise and asked, "Just now a servant came to report that the group of people from yesterday were causing trouble at the gate of the mansion again."
"Your humble servant pays homage to His Majesty!"
Old man Qin knelt down and saluted. He knew the emperor, who had been to the farm before, but he did not know the empress, so he did not dare to call out to her.
"Hurry up and stand up. I just came to see Yunfei. No need to be polite!"
The emperor naturally remembered Old Man Qin, the grandfather of his nephew's husband.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Old man Qin didn't dare to look around after he stood up. He was a little shocked in his heart. The emperor actually came to their Qin family. It was really a matter of honor for their ancestors.
"Your Majesty, when you came in just now, was there anyone making trouble at the door?"
Gu Ting and Old Man Qin were almost at the door. Why not take a look? They had already come here, so they should go and take a look. They had to receive the Emperor and the Empress.
"You said that group of people didn't know how to live or die, and I beat them up!" The emperor said unhappily.
"What? You beat him yourself?" Gu Ting asked in surprise.
"Why, I can't beat them myself? If I beat them myself, that would be a compliment to them. You are such a useless father. They have bullied you right to the doorstep of your daughter's in-laws' house, and you can still turn a blind eye."
The emperor looked at Gu Ting with great contempt.
Gu Ting retorted, "How would I know they would come again today? We were all at home taking care of Fei'er."
"Stop making excuses. You quarrel with me so fiercely that you can't even protect your daughter." The emperor wanted to beat Gu Ting up at this moment.
"Fei'er can only eat today. I don't even have time to worry about them, so how can I have time to deal with them? They can run away on the first day, but not on the fifteenth. When I have time, they won't be able to escape."
Gu Ting didn't expect that this group of people were so bold as to cause trouble in front of the Qin Mansion.
"By the time you have time, everything will be too late. Humph, how could Yunfei have a father like you? I really regret letting my sister marry you."
"Your Majesty, why don't you return to the palace to avoid destroying the relationship between me and the princess?"
"Tsk, if you hadn't been so persistent in pestering the Imperial Sister, how could she have married you?"
The emperor loves to bring up old grievances with Gu Ting, especially when Gu Ting pesters the eldest princess.
"Your Majesty, I'm telling you, didn't Your Majesty marry the Empress in the same way?"
"You're talking nonsense. The Queen and I are truly in love, unlike you."
"Humph, they all got married based on their own abilities, so who is more noble than the other?"
Gu Ting expressed his dissatisfaction. He felt that the emperor was hypocritical. It was obvious that the two of them were equally bad, but he insisted that his methods were more noble.
Old man Qin wished he could disappear right there. The emperor and Lord Gu were arguing, and as a commoner, he couldn't possibly hear that. It was like asking for his life.
"Keep your voice down. You're so loud. What if you scare Fei'er and my little grandson?"
"You can't argue with me, so you change the subject."
"Your Majesty, the quarrel between you and the Prince Consort is very bad. It would be bad if it scared the child."
The queen was also annoyed by the quarrel between the two and reminded the emperor softly.
"I just couldn't stand it, so I said a few more words. I'll just keep my voice down."
After the Queen's reminder, the Emperor also felt that something was wrong. After all, this was in the Qin family. The Emperor glared at Gu Ting unhappily and pulled the Queen away.
Gu Ting was a little speechless, but when he thought about this, he realized that he had indeed done something wrong, so he stopped talking back and followed the emperor and the queen towards Gu Yunfei's yard.
Looking at the uncomfortable old man Qin, Gu Ting smiled and said, "Uncle Qin, I will take the emperor and the queen to Yunfei's yard. You should go to the gate of the mansion to check, in case anything happens."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Qin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully.
Old Man Qin turned and walked towards the gate of the mansion, while Gu Ting went to chase after the emperor and the queen.
"Your Majesty, please wait for me. Without me to lead the way, do you know which courtyard Fei'er lives in?"
When the emperor heard Gu Ting calling him, he pulled the queen and walked faster.
"Your Majesty, let's wait for the Prince Consort, otherwise we really won't be able to find the place."
The queen pulled the emperor's sleeve, and the emperor indeed slowed down his pace.
Gu Ting trotted over and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is so kind to me!"
The emperor said contemptuously, "Don't flatter yourself. I am doing this for my sister's sake. If you don't go to court today without asking for leave, I will come back to settle the score with you."
"Your Majesty, you are too unkind. Fei'er's situation is special. How can I go to court without worry? How can you settle the score later?"
"I am the Son of Heaven, and I like to settle scores with you later. What can you do to me?"
"What's wrong with me taking a few days off? Have you forgotten how you exploited me all these years?"
Gu Ting felt that the emperor was just looking for trouble. The Ministry of Revenue was not busy now, and he was busy taking care of his daughter. What would be wrong if he didn't go to work for a day? The sky wouldn't fall.
"Let's be honest. When you worked diligently, I praised you in front of all the ministers. Your merits and demerits cannot be offset."
"Okay, okay, very good, cross the river and destroy the bridge..."
Gu Ting was so angry that he wanted to fight with the emperor. He felt that the emperor was becoming more and more mean, which made him so angry.
"I'm angry now. Let me share some news with you. Someone complained to the Qin family this morning, saying that the Qin family members arbitrarily interfered in the affairs of other families and even beat people at will."
The emperor knew how to anger Gu Ting. Gu Ting understood it immediately and cursed angrily.
"The Imperial Censors are all just sitting around doing nothing. Are they blind or deaf? They just make random accusations without investigating thoroughly. They are really good."
"Are you regretting not going to court today and confronting them in person?"
The emperor was very happy to see that his stabbing was successful.
"As the emperor, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"
"I've asked Ning Kun to take care of this matter to vent my niece's anger!"
The emperor said this with a bit of smugness, which made Gu Ting even angrier.
"Ning Kun is kind-hearted and can only do this. I will go to court tomorrow, so I will do this."
Gu Ting felt that Ning Kun was not ruthless enough and was not good at handling things. He was worried and had to deal with this group of people personally, otherwise he would be unhappy.
"He's not the only one. There's also your second brother. He volunteered to help with this matter. Look, his second uncle is more competent than you, his father."
The emperor's words were meant to praise Gu Shi and to distort Gu Ting's feelings.
"That's natural. We brothers are one and work together. As the second uncle, I naturally have to stand up for my niece, unlike some uncles."
Gu Ting showed no mercy when he attacked the emperor.
"What's wrong with being an uncle? I personally took action to vent my niece's anger. What did you, as a father, do?"
The emperor really didn't like what Gu Ting said. He had already taught those people a lesson personally. What did Gu Ting, as a father, do?
"What do you mean by personally teaching them a lesson? It was clearly them who attacked the Emperor, and they all deserve the death penalty."
Although Gu Ting's attack on the emperor denied that the emperor was venting his anger on Gu Yunfei's behalf, he directly sentenced these people to death.
Attacking the emperor is a capital crime!
