Gu Yanchao was somewhat reluctant, but he still spoke 'calmly': "Grandpa, I'm here for you. My fourth uncle and my father both have your blood flowing through their veins. I will be filial to my fourth uncle as I am to you and my father."
"Hmm." Gu Chonghu was quite satisfied with his grandson's steady personality, and his words were also pleasing to the ear. Therefore, when Gu Yanchao spoke, Gu Chonghu's anger subsided somewhat. He nodded at Gu Yanchao and said, "Yanchao, Grandpa knows you're a good boy. Grandpa believes that you can definitely do what you say. However, Grandpa won't let your fourth uncle remain so confused forever. One day, your fourth uncle will change his mind, get married, and have children. When that time comes, you, as the older brother, just need to take good care of your younger siblings."
At this point, she paused slightly, glancing at Gu Shaozong almost imperceptibly. Thinking that she only had this one son left by her side, she ultimately swallowed back the words, "Don't be like your father."
Gu Shaozong felt a cold sweat break out on his back after being glanced at by Gu Chonghu. However, he dared not say anything, only putting on a look of 'shame and remorse' and lowering his head. However, although he lowered his head and acted convincingly, his heart was actually full of resentment and bitterness.
However, they dared not let others know easily.
Yan Ruyu understood and immediately changed the subject: "Alright, old man, let's not talk about this anymore. It's getting late, and the children are hungry. Let's eat first."
Gu Chonghu nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat." He then picked up his chopsticks and ate a bite of food.
He started eating, and only then did the others at the table begin to eat.
I hadn't even taken a few bites when I suddenly saw someone standing at the entrance of the dining room.
It was Gu Fu, the man he sent to Lao Si to run errands for him.
Upon seeing Gu Fu, Gu Chonghu immediately put down his chopsticks and looked at Gu Fu with some dissatisfaction, saying, "Gu Fu? Did Fourth Brother send you? What's wrong with him? Can't he even come back for a meal? Why do you have to make this trip?"
Although his tone was dissatisfied, one could tell from the question he asked that Gu Chonghu was actually somewhat expectant.
He was hoping that his "rebellious" fourth son still cared about his old father and that his absence from home this time was truly understandable.
"Master." Gu Fu bowed to Gu Chonghu with some fear and said with a forced smile, "Fourth Master heard that there is a folk doctor in the Southern Province who specializes in treating all kinds of hysteria. It is a family-inherited method, and I heard that he has cured many people. Fourth Madam has been having frequent attacks recently, and the doctor said that the situation is not good, so... as soon as he heard that someone could cure hysteria, Fourth Master took Fourth Madam to the Southern Province by train overnight. Because he was in a hurry to catch the train, he did not have time to report to you, so... he specially asked me to come back to apologize to you."
Actually, it wasn't that he didn't have time to think about it; rather, Fourth Master was afraid of being stopped by the Master, so he had his men 'hold him hostage' until the train had been gone for a long time, and even the Master couldn't catch up with it anymore, before he released him and returned to report the news...
Gu Chonghu naturally understood what Gu Funeng 'understood' as well.
Therefore, he listened to Gu Fu's report with a livid face, and at the end, he asked with a livid face, "Did the fourth brother say when he's coming back?"
