Chapter 394 The Man Behind the Scenes

Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu didn't say anything more. He just secretly reminded himself in his heart that he must not act recklessly and must be cautious and careful.

So the matter passed.

Not long after, Dr. Xia, led by Shuxiu, came to the yard of Gu Xiaochun and Su Erlang. She had just woken up from a nap, so she let Dr. Xia look her up and down.

After simply touching her stomach, asking some questions, and then looking at her physical condition, Dr. Xia told her.

"Don't worry, everything is normal. Your baby isn't that big, so the birth should be smooth. So just relax. Being pregnant at 25 isn't a big deal. Don't scare yourself all the time. It's bad for the baby. If the mother is overthinking, the baby will be troubled too."

Perhaps it was the calmness and confidence displayed by Dr. Xia that gave Gu Xiaochun a lot of comfort, so she felt a lot more relaxed. In the end, she stood up and saw Dr. Xia off with Su Erlang.

When leaving, he asked with concern.

"Doctor Xia, my sister-in-law asked you to come. Is she feeling unwell?"

Gu Xiaochun had no ill intentions, she was just concerned because she was worried that she had to deal with her grandmother's funeral so soon after giving birth. Doctor Xia naturally knew how to protect the patient's privacy, so she just nodded and said.

"Young Madam is fine, it's just a routine checkup, nothing serious."

"That's good. That's good."

The couple was busy seeing Dr. Xia off, while Gu Shaoyu was in shock and a little dazed.

Du Jingyi was still wondering if she spoke too fast and her husband didn't understand, but the next moment she saw Gu Shaoyu suddenly laugh. Although it was a little unbelievable, he was very proud.

"Yan Zhiqing, the second richest person in Jinling City, is actually you?! Madam, you are really good at hiding this!"

Then he added another sentence.

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law should not be underestimated. I thought the Du family's business was all in Sui'an City."

"Of course the Du family is there, but it is under Yan Zhiqing's name so it is difficult to tell others. Today, I am telling the general about this matter and I am also revealing all my family assets to you."

"Okay, I will keep this secret. If anyone dares to touch Yan Zhiqing one day, it will be like touching this general. I will definitely protect you well."

Gu Shaoyu naturally meant what he said, but he didn't know that he was lucky enough to escape the disaster only because of Yan Zhiqing.

The Du couple came that afternoon. When they arrived, Du Jingyi thought they were here to see their grandchildren, but they turned out to be saying goodbye.

"I originally wanted to spend the New Year with you, and then go north together, but now it seems that it is not possible. There are still some things in Sui'an City waiting for your father to deal with, and your uncle Han has also sent a letter to urge you. After you stay here this time, it is estimated that you will not be able to go back until the year after next, so we will not accompany you anymore. After we finish those things, we will go to see your sister first, and then come to see you."

In fact, they had received the letter from the head of the Han family half a month ago, but they could not leave at that time because Old Madam Gu had not been buried and there was no one to take care of the grandchildren, so they stayed again and again.

Now that Gu Shaoyu has returned, the funeral arrangements have been made, and the children have been successfully taken back to Qiwuyuan, they can now leave with peace of mind.

Du Jingyi felt a little sad.

She has been married for five years. In the first three years, she was used to living alone in her husband's family. But since Gu Shaoyu came back, she went home often. This time, she even brought her parents to live with her in-laws, as if they had never been separated.

Once you get used to the life where you can see your parents every few steps, you will naturally be reluctant to let them leave.

After this departure, I won’t see you for at least a year.

His eyes were a little red, but he still didn't want to embarrass his parents, so Du Jingyi asked.

"When are we leaving? Do you want my daughter to arrange it?"

"The day after tomorrow, we will pack our luggage in the next two days and then book a boat back to Sui'an City. I think we will be able to reach Sui'an City in the middle of the month."

Mrs. Du replied, and after hearing this, Gu Shaoyu added a sentence from the side.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry about these things. I will take care of them."

What's the point of keeping a big ship like the Su family? So when you come, you can take the Su family's ship, and when you leave, you can take the Su family's ship! Mrs. Du didn't refuse. They are all family, so naturally they wouldn't say those polite words.

Mr. Du looked at Gu Shaoyu and gave serious instructions.

"The general and Tangtang are in charge now, so we need to handle everything at home and outside properly. If you can avoid provoking some people, do so. After all, when you return to Sui'an City, you will still have several aunts, sisters, and brothers-in-law to deal with outsiders, so don't make things difficult for them."

Although Mr. Du did not specify what he meant, Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi both understood it.

We are talking about the seventh old master's family.

No matter what, they have long been the local bosses in Jinling City, with many people in the fields of literature, martial arts, and business. They were naturally able to tolerate Gu Shaoyu staying in Jinling City for a year in mourning.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But if they are offended too much, once they leave, it will be my aunt and others who will be in trouble.

Without Madam Gu in charge, they might be targeted, so Mr. Du said this.

Gu Shaoyu nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood.

The Du couple didn't want to make the atmosphere too sentimental, so they said they wanted to go see their grandson. With the four of them together, the scene was naturally lively.

I couldn't quite make out what he was babbling about, but he looked cheerful overall.

The couple naturally couldn't bear to part with their grandchildren, but there was nothing they could do but cherish the time they could still be together. Although Tai Ge'er didn't know what was going on, he was always very enthusiastic whenever he saw his grandparents.

With a smack, the two elders’ hearts melted.

I wish I could take my grandson with me, but I know it's just a thought.

In this way, after two days of reunion, the Du couple set out north to Sui'an City.

When I left, I specifically asked my elder sister-in-law Liu and Ping'er if they wanted to come with me so that they could take care of me on the way.

But my sister-in-law refused.

The biggest reason was that she was afraid that this trip north would affect Ping'er. The Duke's Mansion was a mess and her father-in-law might die at any time. If the mother and son really went back, they would probably fall into the fangs of Madam Wei.

She herself doesn't care.

He was just afraid that his son would be harmed, so it was safer for him to stay in Jinling City. Gu Shaoyu also meant so, so he had to protect his eldest brother's bloodline no matter what.
