"I don't have a son." Duan Kun said this with some guilt.
"Alright, don't leave the manor before the New Year. Come back only when you've learned your lesson well."
Seeing his son's state, Master Duan no longer cared whether Duan Kun had actually blocked Guo Shu or not. Since he favored Guo Shu, this matter had to be resolved.
"Father, what do you mean by that?"
"It means that you are not allowed to step out of the mansion without my permission."
Duan Kun was incredulous.
"father……"
"Alright, calling me 'Dad' won't help."
Duan Kun was unwilling to be taken away. When he left, he looked at Guo Shu with hatred in his eyes. Guo Shu was in the study. His father treated him like this, so it must be because Guo Shu complained.
"What do you think of your uncle's actions, my dear nephew?"
Guo Shu said, "Uncle Duan is doing this for Cousin Duan's sake; he has the heart of a loving father, which is truly rare."
Master Duan smiled and said, "Will you stay for dinner today? When do you plan to go back?"
"Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle Duan. I have already set a date for my return journey."
"Alright, your uncle will send someone to take you back when you go back, so you won't have to worry about finding someone to look after you on the way."
Guo Shu naturally had no objections; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle."
Guo Shu was allowed to stay for the meal, while Duan Kun was confined to his quarters. Madam Duan was unaware of the reason, so Guo Shu enjoyed her meal quite comfortably.
After Guo Shu left, Madam Duan learned the reason why her son had been confined to his home.
Then she started to complain and went to Master Duan.
"Master, the Madam requests an audience."
Master Duan naturally knew why she had come.
"not see."
Those two words were spoken with utter ruthlessness.
When Madam Duan heard that he was missing, she immediately started making a scene.
He shouted at the door of the study, "Master, Kun'er is still a child. Why are you punishing him by confining him to his quarters for no reason..."
Madam Duan has the potential to be a shrew; in any case, Master Duan wanted to beat her up when he heard this, but fortunately he held back.
When Master Duan saw her like this, he originally wanted to have her sent back, but after all, she was the mistress of the house and his first wife, so he had to give her some face.
"Let her in to talk."
Madam Duan entered the study.
"Master, what exactly did Kun'er do? It's almost the New Year, and you're punishing him like this?"
Master Duan looked at her feigning ignorance and said, "You should know what he did."
Madam Duan knew she couldn't keep up the act any longer, so she said, "Sir, is it worth it for an outsider?"
Master Duan said, "He was planning to kill her. Guo Shu is a good child. Besides, the Guo family is my sister's husband's family. If Kun'er were to kill her husband's nephew, what would become of my sister? Have you thought about that?"
