Chapter 597 You're all crazy
"What do you mean by that?" Luo Yuping felt that Gu Shuyan's words had a hidden meaning.
Gu Shuyan simply smiled at her and gestured for her to proceed.
"Gu Shuyan, what exactly do you mean? Explain yourself clearly."
Luo Yuping wasn't exactly known for her good temper, and when she met Gu Shuyan's gaze hidden behind her smile, she immediately became a little anxious.
Gu Shuyan naturally wouldn't give her the chance to cause a scene at the Yun residence. After all, she needed to tell her father and mother about this matter as soon as possible, so why would she waste time with Luo Yuping?
She turned around and winked at the servants, and immediately someone came forward to invite Luo Yuping and her maid.
But the people Luo Yuping brought were no pushovers either. They stood in front of Luo Yuping and actually got into a standoff with the maids of the Yun family.
Of course, these maids wouldn't dare to fight in the Yun residence. After all, Yun Yichen's reputation as the Ghost-Faced Yama was not to be underestimated. If he found out that they were causing trouble in the Yun residence, he would probably eat them alive.
However, since they were servants of the Marquis of Yongshou's mansion, they could not back down if their master needed them. In the end, they could only try to avoid being touched by Luo Yuping by pushing and shoving each other.
Gu Shuyan seemed to have anticipated this outcome. She glanced at Luo Yuping, who was surrounded and looking smug, and snapped her fingers. Each of the maids then carried Luo Yuping's maid out of the room.
Finally, only Luo Yuping remained. Gu Shuyan directly instructed Wuyin, "Please properly escort Madam Hou out."
Gu Shuyan emphasized the words "good" very much, and Wuyin, upon receiving the order, stepped forward, picked up Luo Yuping, and turned her towards the door.
That's right, it was twisted out.
Wu Yin was originally a bodyguard, and even while by Gu Shuyan's side, she never slacked off in her training. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Wu Yin was just a gentle and weak woman, but in reality, she could easily defeat a truly frail woman like Luo Yuping.
Just as Luo Yuping was surprised to be dragged out of Yunfu by such a maid, Luo Yuying also rushed over.
"The Fifth Prince's Consort has arrived just in time. The Lady of Yongshou Marquis seems to be a little confused. You should take her back first!"
After Gu Shuyan finished speaking, she slowly headed towards the Marquis's residence, leaving Luo Yuping bewildered.
At the Duke of Anguo's residence, all the people with the surname Luo sat together.
Looking at her silent father, Luo Yuying couldn't help but ask, "What exactly did Gu Shuyan mean by that? And why did my elder sister go looking for Gu Shuyan? Now that I've brought her back, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Luo Yuying was summoned by the Duke of Anguo after he learned that Luo Yuping had gone to see Gu Shuyan.
Now, facing his daughter whom he had kept in the dark all along, Duke Anguo slowly spoke.
"You're all crazy, you must be crazy, otherwise how could you have such a terrible idea?"
Luo Yuying looked at the Duke of Anguo and his half-brother. She had no idea how the Duke of Anguo's family had become one of the few powerful officials in the court.
“Why can’t we think like this? His Majesty seems to be a wise and virtuous ruler, but apart from harming his own brothers, has he done anything of great benefit to the country and its people? He always relies on the Grand Secretary whenever there’s a problem. I think the throne should have been given to someone else long ago.”
When Duke Anguo spoke of the emperor, he was actually angry. He had never intended to marry the eldest princess, but the emperor threatened him, saying that he had to marry the eldest princess or he would expose the fact that he had killed his elder brother when he was young.
At that time, Duke Anguo was not yet the heir apparent. The old Marquis was about to pass away, and his brothers were eyeing the position of heir apparent. So Duke Anguo agreed to the emperor's request.
After marrying the eldest princess, Duke Anguo became the heir apparent as he wished, but because he had made a prior agreement with the emperor, he could not consummate the marriage with the eldest princess.
Originally, I was thinking that after I had a son, I would adopt one to live with the eldest princess.
But then the emperor presented him with another problem: to drug the eldest princess to facilitate his actions. Despite being siblings, the emperor harbored such filthy and despicable thoughts. The Duke of Anguo felt that the emperor was utterly unfit to be the ruler.
Even if he despised her in his heart, what could he do? Ultimately, tempted by power, he still made a move on the eldest princess. The emperor successfully entered the eldest princess's bedchamber, and in the end, the eldest princess gave birth to Luo Yu, whom the Duke of Anguo considered equally filthy.
Little did the Duke of Anguo know that his and the Emperor's scheme had long been exposed. The woman the Emperor favored that night was someone else entirely, and Luo Yu was never the person he imagined.
"Father, how could you be so foolish? The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for over a hundred years, and the imperial palace is guarded by thousands of imperial guards. What makes you think that you can stand against His Majesty?"
Luo Yuying was furious with the Duke of Anguo. He didn't seem to care about the fate of treacherous officials and villains throughout history.
Moreover, the Duke of Anguo's mansion has only achieved its current status by virtue of the emperor over the years. Now, it actually dares to try to oppose the person who gave them power. Isn't that just wishful thinking?
“What my sister says is true, but Father now controls the capital's garrison and the private army he previously raised for the Crown Prince. If we can instigate infighting between the royal father and son, we might have a chance to take advantage of the situation.”
"Moreover, can you really guarantee that the Fifth Prince will secure his position as Crown Prince? If the Fifth Prince ultimately fails to ascend the throne, have you considered what awaits our Luo family?"
Luo Dong did not deny Luo Yuying's words, but since ancient times, the victor is always king and the loser is always villain. The loser never has a good ending.
Over the years, the Luo family has painstakingly raised two outstanding daughters and sent them to the royal family, hoping that one of them would become the empress and lead the Luo family to become the most prominent family in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, life is unpredictable. First, the Crown Prince fell from his horse in a daze, then Lu Youming suddenly appeared, and now even Lu Changqing, who was supposed to live past twenty, is cured.
The Luo family's carefully cultivated daughter may not even be able to sit in that position in the end, so why not take the risk and gamble?
If it succeeds, the history of the Great Zhou will be rewritten, and the Luo family will become the rulers. If it fails, it will still be better than being dragged down by the emperor's two foolish sons and ultimately suffering the fate of being wiped out as a whole family.
Luo Dong's words made sense, and Luo Yuying immediately fell silent.
After a long pause, she slowly spoke, "Even so, you can't set your sights on the Gu family!"
Everyone knows that the Gu family is a tough nut to crack; even Lu Yuanbin and Lu Youming have failed to win them over several times. And now the Duke of Anguo's mansion wants to join the fray.
"But if the Gu family can help us, we will have won most of the battle. Then why should we worry about the Great Zhou not being overthrown?"
Having witnessed the coldness and warmth of human relationships in recent times, Luo Yuping only wanted to trample those who fawned on the powerful and bullied the weak underfoot, and she didn't care whether she could touch the tiger's backside or not.
