Chapter 177 This Rebellious Son

Chapter 177 This Rebellious Son

Lin Wanhui was filled with hatred, but there was nothing she could do. Gu Changqing was still on leave because of the Enrong Banquet, which caused his voice in the Marquis' Mansion to plummet. If the old lady disagreed, she would not be able to do anything.

Lin Wanhui hated it more and more.

But my son still wants to go and see it.

Taking advantage of the time she had left, Lin Wanhui prepared a lot of delicious food and also secretly took some valuables with her, for fear that they would be searched by the inmates in the cell.

Afterwards, Gu Changqing took her to jail.

As soon as she entered the cell door, Lin Wanhui couldn't help but burst into tears.

The air in here was turbid and smelled bad, with dust flying everywhere and the smell of blood mixed with stench, which almost made her fall over.

It was even darker inside, with more than a dozen people crammed into the small cell.

The more Lin Wanhui looked, the more frightened she became.

Fortunately, Gu Zhao had made arrangements, so Gu Ziyun was not locked up with others, but was locked up in a cell alone.

"Brother Yun!"

Seeing her son covered in dust and with lifeless eyes, Lin Wanhui choked up.

When Gu Ziyun saw her, he also burst into tears: "Mom! Mom, why did you come to see me just now? Wuuwuwu..."

"Good son, come and eat, Mom brought you something you like to eat!"

Lin Wanhui spread out the food and drinks. Gu Changqing took a look and knew that the mother and daughter had something private to say, so he turned around and went to find the prison boss.

After Gu Changqing left, Gu Ziyun gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, it's all Gu Zilu's fault. He must have ruined me!"

Lin Wanhui nodded: "Yes, it must be him. It's my fault that I misjudged him. I thought he was a soft persimmon that wouldn't open its mouth. Who knew he would bite so hard!"

At first, everyone thought that Gu Zilu was quiet and easy to bully, but in the end, he was the one who bit the hardest. It really proved the old saying that the dog that doesn't bark bites the most fiercely.

"Mother, please save me. I don't want to be a conscript. I don't want to..."

Gu Ziyun burst into tears, but Lin Wanhui was helpless. Even she knew that this was the emperor's decision, and it was final and no one could change it!

"My poor child!"

Lin Wanhui cried bitterly and gritted her teeth in hatred. She would not let Su Jin go, nor would she let Su Jin's children go. Now, for everything her son had suffered, she would return it double to Su Jin and her son!

must!

She thought bitterly.

When the visit was over, Lin Wanhui's eyes were already red and swollen. She followed Gu Changqing out of the cell with unsteady steps. After a while, she couldn't help crying, "Master, we are all family. Is it really necessary to be like this? Will his brothers let him go only after our Yun Ge'er dies?"

Lin Wanhui burst into tears, and Gu Changqing felt sad because of her crying. This matter was all because of Gu Zilu's words that he could not hide it anymore, but Gu Changqing always felt that what could not be hidden?

As long as no one tells anyone, who will know?

As for Luan Wu and the other failed students who came to cause trouble, haven’t they also never seen Gu Zilu’s true face? They were all wearing masks!

Gu Changqing was indeed feeling a little unhappy.

"Don't worry about this matter, I know what's going on!"

I know what's going on.

Lin Wanhui slowly raised the corners of her mouth.

Just know it in your mind.

"Master, when you are free, let's go see my sister together. I feel bad..."

Gu Changqing really turned hostile: "What are you looking at her for? I won't go with such a heartless woman!"

Lin Wanhui's smile widened, but she had to go. If she didn't go, how could she watch Su Jin make fun of herself?

After persuading for a long time, Gu Changqing remained unmoved. Lin Wanhui could only give up. Forget it, she would be locked up again if she returned home. As for Su Jin, she would go there next time, or wait until she became the mistress and then go there to make fun of her. It would be more effective.

The more Lin Wanhui thought about it, the happier she became. While she was having a sweet dream, she was locked up in the woodshed.

What is this? This is called finding joy in suffering!

In the palace, the morning court was still held every day, and Zhao Jingcheng was still diligent.

However, the war in the northwest finally began to intensify, and the Xiongnu Chanyu began to invade on a large scale.

There were three newly added imperial examination papers in front, and all three papers supported war. Therefore, most people in the court chose to support war, and those who supported peace were in the minority. So Zhao Jingcheng could finally wave his hand with satisfaction and say, "Fight!"

The war was decided, but who to send was another problem.

The northwestern border is guarded by General He Bi, the General of the Western Expedition, but reinforcements are still needed.

After much deliberation, the emperor decided to appoint General Liu Cong to lead the troops to quell the war in the northwest.

What was unexpected was that the newly-crowned runner-up, Hanlin Academy editor Gu Zixuan, actually volunteered to write a letter to the emperor, requesting to lead the troops into battle.

"Your Majesty, I have always envied the former Prime Minister Chen Jing, who was able to debate with scholars and fight enemies on horseback. Now that the country is in danger, I am willing to put down my pen, pick up my sword and ride my horse to defend our country!"

"good!"

Zhao Jingcheng exclaimed: "As expected of the children of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. Yong'an Marquis was a figure that the Xiongnu people were terrified of in the northwest. Now, the Marquis' Mansion finally has a successor!"

Gu Zhao followed the late emperor. When the late emperor defeated the Huns, Gu Zhao was one of the main forces. Unfortunately, most of the late emperor's soldiers were old or dead, and Zhao Jingcheng could not use many of them. Now that Gu Zixuan is willing to go to the front line, Zhao Jingcheng is naturally willing to do so.

Although he was willing, he would not give him a too high an official position. A sixth-rank captain was just to give face to Gu Zhao. After all, Gu Zixuan had no military achievements.

Gu Zixuan thanked him, but before he could stand up, his good friend Yin Zhengnan knelt down with a thud.

"Your Majesty, I feel the same way!"

Yin Zhengnan is not as eloquent as Gu Zixuan, but he is just as determined to join the army with Gu Zixuan.

However, although the emperor could readily agree to Gu Zixuan's request, he could not directly agree to Yin Zhengnan's request.

This is my own aunt's son. Will my aunt agree?

"What are you going to do?"

Yin Zhengnan said: "I feel sleepy and dizzy when I sit there. I don't want to take the salary for nothing. The emperor should let me go to the frontier. At least I can take the salary with peace of mind."

Yin Zhengnan hasn't returned to the mansion for a long time. Without the identity of the youngest son of the Grand Princess, Yin Zhengnan found that it was really unrealistic to rely on himself.

But he also felt that he was not cut out to be an official, and he even felt that he was not as capable as Gu Zixuan in handling things. So, since Gu Zixuan was going to join the army, he would go too. If he did well, his mother would have to listen to him in the future. As for marrying Gu Suiyu, wouldn't he have the final say?

Yin Zhengnan was very happy.

Zhao Jingcheng looked helpless and could only say: "Okay, you two can go together, so that you can have someone to look after you."

The decree was drafted. After Zhao Yingqiao learned about this, the first thing he did was to pick up a stick and go straight to Yin Zhengnan's current residence.
