After saying this, Gu Hong just turned around and left.
Anyway, his identity has been revealed now, if anyone dares to say anything bad, he will just tear them apart!
Looking at the man’s back as he left, Ana Shen was stunned.
"What does he mean?"
Gu Xiuwen's expression was complicated. "Mom, you don't have to worry about what he's thinking. Anyway, he probably won't force you to do anything at the moment."
After saying this, even Gu Xiuwen, who had always stood on Shen Ningsi's side, felt a little embarrassed.
Gu Hong is such a young general, and many women in the capital must have set their sights on the position of his legitimate wife. He gave this position to Shen Ningsi, but did not ask Shen Ningsi to do anything...
This kind of philanthropist style has nothing to do with Gu Hong.
"Brother, Gu Hong is so stupid? He gave me a status just to be with Mom? He won't force Mom to do anything?"
Just as Gu Xiuwen's expression grew increasingly gloomy, Gu Xiuwu beside him spoke.
There was undisguised suspicion in his voice. "Why do I feel like you're wrong? He doesn't look like he dislikes Mother. Instead, he looks like he's trying to please Mother."
Gu Xiuwu scratched his ears, not realizing how much of a shock his words had on the others.
“…”
Gu Xiuwen looked at him gravely.
My younger brother is a sincere person. He doesn't care what others think when he speaks, but his intuition is always accurate.
Gu Hong's actions could not bring him any benefits. If he really thought about it carefully, it was probably because he liked Shen Ningsi.
Gu Xiuwen didn’t say anything, but just looked at Shen Ningsi’s expression calmly, only to see that the woman still had no expression.
"Wu'er."
Shen Ningsi said softly: "Don't worry about what he is thinking, I will just do my own thing."
Shen Ningsi glanced at Gu Hong’s closed door.
The sky was bright, and it cast a clear shadow on the window. It was obvious that Gu Hong was standing there listening to their conversation.
She didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Hong. But Gu Hong's existence could indeed save them a lot of trouble.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Ningsi did not continue to threaten Gu Hong with death to leave.
She patted Gu Xiuwen's head and said, "Wen'er, go and comfort Yun'er first. I'll go talk to them."
Gu Xiuwen glanced at Fan Xing who was standing at the door and peeking, and nodded silently.
Shen Ningsi pushed the door open and went out, "Master Fan, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Fan Xing used his folding fan to cover his slightly raised lips. "Mrs. Gu, you're too kind. Every family has its own problems. I've seen many in the capital, so it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's just..."
His eyes were shining with excitement.
They are all men, how could he not understand Gu Hong’s thoughts.
This killer actually died at the hands of Shen Ningsi! Even he himself did not realize that his tolerance for Shen Ningsi had long been far beyond the ordinary.
Everyone in the capital knew that this new noble in the imperial court was not one to be taken advantage of. If they wanted him to make a move, they would have to give him enough benefits. But now Gu Hong was protecting Shen Ningsi, but he didn't want anything...
Fan Xing said in a brisk voice, "From what I hear, it seems the general wants to reconcile with his wife. What are your thoughts on this?"
Sanyazi couldn't stand it anymore, so he pushed Fan Xing away with his elbow.
"What does the matter between the general and his wife have to do with you? I think you think you have lived too long!"
The smile in Fan Xing's eyes disappeared. He turned his head and coughed lightly, looking up at the sky and then at the ground.
San Yazi wouldn't let Fan Xing off so easily. He wanted to see the general make a fool of himself. Where did he get the guts to do that?
San Yazi said sarcastically, "My Lord, please think more about your own disaster relief work! Although we have the grain loaned by the general, if you can't get the villagers to grow potatoes, how can this grain last forever? If His Majesty blames you, not only will your delicate body be wasted by coming to this remote place, but you will also delay your wife's recovery."
Shen Ningsi frowned and came out to smooth things over.
"Well, even if I can't show up, there's still Wen'er. Isn't he also trying to teach the people how to grow potatoes?"
Shen Ningsi nodded to Fan Xing, "Don't worry, Master Fan, my injuries are not serious. I will be able to start teaching the villagers again in three days at most."
With Shen Ningsi's words, Fan Xing's frown relaxed slightly.
"This matter is all thanks to Madam Gu, but San Yazi is also right. I cannot continue to delay Madam's recovery, so I will take my leave now."
Rather than laughing at Gu Hong's joke, Fan Xing felt that it was more important to keep his official position.
Shen Ningsi nodded, indicating that she understood. She did not feel happy. Gu Hong's identity was now exposed. Even if Fan Xing was sent away, she believed that many people would still come.
Because Shen Ningsi had guessed these things, he specifically reminded Gu Xiuwen and others to remember to close all the doors and windows, and not let anyone in no matter who came.
But it was obvious that this time she misjudged what a general meant to the people of Wanning Village.
That's a chance to soar to the sky!
"Brother Wen, I know you're mature beyond your years and you're in charge of many things at home, but it's best if you don't interfere too much in matters between adults."
The speaker was an old woman with a wrinkled face.
Facing Gu Xiuwen's clear eyes, she did feel a little uneasy. However, she was older and considered an elder, so even if Gu Xiuwen had many complaints, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Let's not talk about the fact that Brother Hong is a junior member of our Gu family. He has been back in Wanning Village for so long, but instead of visiting us elders first, he is waiting for us to come see him. This has already caused people to criticize him. Just think about it. He should be stripped of his official position for not coming out to greet such a large group of elders.
She snorted coldly when she said this.
So what if he was a general? If Gu Hong didn't respect their elders, she would gather enough money and find a way to go to the capital to complain to the officials! They would say he was unfilial!
People who take advantage of their seniority will not make Gu Xiuwen panic.
He said coldly, "Although Dad lives here, the most important person in our family is Mom. Mom is not feeling well right now and needs to rest. No one can come and disturb her."
"What is Shen Ningsi?!"
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. As soon as Gu Xiuwen finished speaking, the woman became furious.
"Isn't it enough that Shen Ningsibai picked up a general husband? How dare you act like a fool here?"
Gu Xiuwen's face darkened instantly.
"Can you say that again?"
