Chapter 206 Love Son
"What a strange person."
Pearl watched the old monk's departing figure and muttered something to herself.
People usually get new amulets when they ask for peace and safety, but this old monk gave me one that was clearly used. I really don't know what he was thinking.
"Let's go, Mother is out."
Gu Shuyan looked towards the main hall, where Ji Shi had already come out. She took a few steps forward to support Ji Shi, and the mother and daughter bid farewell to the abbot and went down the mountain.
Inside the temple, in the hall where memorial tablets are enshrined, the man in purple robes stared blankly at the newly added tablet.
"Miss Gu's full name is Gu Shuyan, right?"
The man in purple asked the man in black beside him, but the man had no idea what Miss Gu's given name was. Besides, his master's tone clearly indicated that he knew, so why was he asking him? Wasn't that just making things difficult for him?
The man couldn't answer, but fortunately, the man in purple didn't really want him to answer.
He just stared at the plaque and murmured, "My beloved son, Gu Rui, is that right?"
Upon hearing the news, Yun Yichen was so shocked that he stood up abruptly from his chair.
"What did you just say? Say it again?"
Yun Yichen exuded a chill, and the person who reported it couldn't help but shiver, but had to repeat: "Miss Gu has a memorial tablet enshrined in the temple, which reads, 'The spirit tablet of my beloved son Gu Ruizhi,' with the initials and handwritten by Yan."
The person who reported this almost couldn't breathe. How long had it been since their master had been this angry? It seemed this Miss Gu was truly a ticking time bomb!
"Don't mention this to anyone. Send someone to the temple and make sure to silence the old monk."
After a long silence, Yun Yichen spoke coldly.
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately responded and went out. Just as he closed the door, he bumped into Zhong Lin, who was coming in from outside the courtyard.
"What's wrong? Is Master angry?"
Upon seeing the guard's expression, Zhong Lin knew that he had been abused by his master again.
"Brother Zhong Lin, please find someone else to protect Miss Gu. I'm afraid if I stay any longer, I'll lose my life."
The guard, with a bitter face, was about to plead with Zhong Lin when he heard Yun Yichen's voice coming from inside the house, "If you're afraid of dying, you'd better get the hell out of here."
Upon hearing this, the guard dared not utter a sound. His life belonged to his master, so how could he be afraid of death? What he feared was his master's unpredictable temperament.
"Your subordinate knows his mistake and will return to the Marquis's residence to protect Miss Gu."
The guard quickly disappeared into the courtyard. Zhong Lin looked at the door and sighed inwardly. No matter how much he didn't want to go inside, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.
The first thing Gu Shuyan did upon returning to the capital was to have Xu Feng go to the brothel to redeem Chunxiang.
"Miss, where do you want me to go?"
Xu Feng couldn't believe his ears. He was a guard from the Duke's mansion, yet they were sending him to a brothel. Was that even acceptable?
“If you don’t go, I’ll go to the Yun residence to find Zhong Lin. But you won’t need to stay at the Marquis’s residence anymore. I can’t afford to support an idle person.”
If she could go by herself, why would she need to go to Xu Feng? But this girl looks so unwilling.
She figured Zhong Lin would be happy to go see her. Most importantly, she heard from Mingyu that Xu Feng and Zhong Lin bickered as soon as they met, and it seemed that they didn't get along very well.
"I'll go, I'll go, okay?"
The young master said he wanted him to stay in the Marquis's residence. If Gu Shuyan drove him away, how would he explain it to the young master?
Therefore, Xu Feng ultimately had no choice but to compromise.
Following Gu Shuyan's instructions, Xu Feng first went to the brothel to redeem Chunxiang and settle her in before returning to the Marquis's residence to report back.
