Chapter 210 A Frightened Bird
Who is it?
Who is it?
Grand Tutor Gu kept roaring in his heart.
He was so angry that his eyes turned red and his whole body was shaking.
They had just been reunited as father and son, and it was a good time for them to be successful and realize their ambitions, but they encountered such an unexpected event.
The other party was so cruel that he crippled his second son.
Seeing that Gu Linhai had just returned to Beijing, his career could be further advanced. In this way, even after he retired, no one would look down on the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
It would be so glorious if both sons held high positions.
But everything was ruined.
Gu Linhai’s future career is completely over.
What a pity!
The person behind the scenes is so bold and presumptuous that he doesn't even take the Grand Tutor's Mansion seriously.
How many people in the capital are so well-connected and capable?
Apart from the royal relatives, there are also the princes and grandchildren of the emperor.
It seems that the person that Gu Xiangsi offended this time must be of very unusual status.
He first arranged for the housekeeper to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician to treat Gu Linhai's leg, hoping that he could still be saved.
Master Gu kept praying in his heart.
Then, he hurriedly trotted all the way and rushed into Gu Xiangsi's yard.
Gu Xiangsi had also received this shocking bad news at this time. She was so angry that her heart ached. She did not expect that the other party had not stopped and even became more aggressive.
It wasn't enough that he caused her to lose so much money, but he even dared to attack his own father. It was simply lawless.
This is the capital city!
How dare you be so presumptuous under the feet of the emperor?
It seems that she was really reckless and didn't know the capital well enough, which caused such a big mess.
She also began to reflect on herself and fell into regret.
Only then did she deeply feel the strength of her opponent and would never allow herself to underestimate him again.
The moment she saw Master Gu, she felt a little guilty and ashamed.
His eyes instantly turned red, and he couldn't help but say, "Grandfather, I'm really sorry that I have implicated the Grand Tutor's Mansion this time."
Grand Tutor Gu's face was filled with sorrow, and he couldn't help but ask with a strong sense of reproach, "Who did you offend? Why did they spare no effort to target our Grand Tutor's Mansion?"
"Since they dare to do this, there will definitely be more actions to come. Our Taishi Mansion cannot withstand such a torment!"
"You...you girl, what can I say about you!"
As he spoke, he even choked up.
Seeing his grandfather like this, Gu Xiangsi quickly explained, "In the past month or so since I returned to the capital, I have always been doing my duty and trying to build good relationships with the powerful people in the capital. I have never taken the initiative to cause trouble, let alone offend anyone or make enemies..."
"The only time I took action was against Lin Pianran."
"I think she's just an orphan with no one to rely on. She doesn't have any background. Even if something happens to her, no one will take it seriously. That's why she dared to do it."
"After my people abducted her, she fell down the hillside. So many days have passed, and there is no possibility of her survival."
Grand Tutor Gu asked, "Could it be that the Crown Prince has found out about you and is deliberately retaliating against the Grand Tutor's Mansion?"
Gu Xiangsi remained calm and composed. "When I did that, the people I sent out acted extremely secretly, and at night, leaving no clues at all, let alone any evidence."
"The Crown Prince was outside the city at the time, comforting the refugees. He wasn't in the capital. There's no way he could have traced it back to me!"
"Also, I heard that the people in the Prince's Mansion are still secretly searching for Lin Pianran's whereabouts. They probably haven't found her yet, so it's even more impossible for them to trace her back to me!"
Grand Tutor Gu still insisted on his opinion. "Besides His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how many others do you think could suppress our Grand Tutor's Mansion to such an extent?"
"Although you are a little clever, you are too arrogant!"
"You know, there are always people better than you!"
"Look at what you've done to your father! He's endured so many years in Jiangnan, and finally returned to the capital. He thought he'd have a chance at promotion, but now it's all ruined."
"Will your father be able to bear such a great shock when he wakes up?"
"You've already ruined your father, isn't that enough? Think carefully about whether you've offended anyone else. If this is truly the work of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, our Crown Prince's Mansion is truly finished!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't appear to be a good person, and he's vindictive and merciless. Even though I was once his teacher, he might not show any mercy..."
"Why did you kidnap Lin Pianran?"
"Now that their relationship is at its peak, if you provoke her, aren't you also provoking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"You are still too young. Acting impulsively leads to such a big mistake."
"For now, if we want the entire Grand Tutor's Mansion to survive this disaster safely, we have no choice but to go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and admit our mistakes."
After finishing speaking, Grand Tutor Gu sighed deeply and suddenly looked much older.
At this time, Gu Xiangsi also regretted her impulsive behavior.
Unexpectedly, this would bring such a series of disasters to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
If the Grand Tutor's Mansion wants to remain safe and sound in the future, this matter must be reconciled.
Otherwise, who knows who will be the next victim!
Maybe she would have to be extremely careful when going out in the future, otherwise she might encounter an accident at any time.
Even if she had a large number of secret guards and wanted to fight against the Prince's Mansion, she would definitely not be able to win, and she would be the only one to suffer.
Now I can only bow my head and pray that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will spare the Grand Tutor's Mansion for the sake of my grandfather.
After figuring this out, Gu Xiangsi had an idea and said, "Grandfather, why don't you take me to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I can also find out what he has to say and find an opportunity to settle this matter."
"It just so happens that next month is Grandpa's birthday. Sending him an invitation is a perfectly legitimate excuse. He can't possibly turn us away, right?"
"My grandfather was once the Crown Prince's teacher. If the Crown Prince dared to be disrespectful to me, the memorials from the censors alone would be enough to break his spine and suffocate him."
"I don't think he would be ignorant of the general situation."
Master Gu thought about it and found no better way.
If this conflict is not resolved, their entire Tai Shi Mansion will be finished.
Even if Huo Yuchen would not attack his teacher, if he attacked his eldest son and grandsons, it would be enough to cause serious damage to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Thinking of this, his scalp felt tingling.
He quickly ordered someone to go to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to pick out two nice treasures, and then rushed to "Yufulou" with Gu Xiangsi without stopping.
