When Shen Ningsi saw Gu Xiuwu's actions, his heart skipped a beat.
"Wu'er! Who taught you to act so casually?"
Not to mention that Gu Hong is not an ordinary person. If Gu Xiuwu is hit by his punch, he will not be able to withstand it even if he is in good health.
Gu Xiuwu's eyes were red. "Mom, he already hit you, why are you still defending this bad guy!"
Gu Xiuwu felt uncomfortable. "He pinched you until your body was covered in bruises. Why did he pinch you? On what right did he pinch you?"
Gu Hong glanced at Shen Ningsi, took a deep breath, and then endured it, using all his strength to pull Gu Xiuwu's hand off.
"What do you know about adults' affairs? I didn't mean to pinch your mother."
"You're still pretending. If it wasn't to vent your anger, guess what my mother would do!"
The embarrassment on Shen Ningsi's face could no longer be concealed, and he went over and covered Gu Xiuwu's mouth.
"Okay, stop talking."
Shen Ningsi wanted to keep things quiet, but Gu Hong had a different idea. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he smiled meaningfully.
"It's true that it's for the purpose of letting off steam, but the letting off steam I'm talking about is completely different from the letting off steam you're talking about."
Gu Xiuwen at least reacted faster than his brother. A look of disbelief flashed across his face, and then his anger disappeared, and he quickly looked away.
"Gu Hong, is there something wrong with your brain?"
Shen Ningsi was so angry that he let go of the hand that was covering Gu Xiuwu's mouth and punched Gu Hong.
“Get out!”
"Okay, okay, can't I just stop talking?"
Gu Hong agreed repeatedly. It was rare for him to be kicked out by Shen Ningsi, and he was still happy.
"Can you let me see if the marks on your hands are healed before we go out for dinner together?"
Looking at Gu Hong's calm appearance, Shen Ningsi gritted his teeth viciously, "What do you care!"
Gu Hong shrugged his shoulders. After all, he had tried the effects of vanishing cream himself.
If Shen Ningsi tells him to go, then he should go.
Sanyazi looked at Gu Hong and saw that he had such a precious medicine at first sight, but in the end he didn't even get the favor of his wife. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Hong.
But seeing that Gu Hong was extremely relaxed and didn't look angry at all, he thought, who cares? As long as the general was happy, that's all that mattered.
He regretted it as soon as Gu Hong left. The culprit was gone, leaving him alone to face these children. How should he explain it?
Even though Gu Xiuwen patted Gu Xiuwu soothingly several times, the anger in his heart had not dissipated.
"Mom, why did you take him away?"
Gu Xiuwu's eyes were red, "I will never let him bully you again!"
Shen Ningsi was both touched and embarrassed. After all, given her and Gu Hong's original relationship, there was nothing wrong with what Gu Hong did. Being misunderstood by Gu Xiuwu was an injustice.
But she couldn't explain to Gu Xiuwu why her body was covered with bruises.
"Don't worry, he won't have that chance anymore."
Gu Xiuwu nodded fiercely upon hearing this, "Of course! If he dares to attack mother again next time, I will break all his fingers!"
As his brother's words became increasingly nonsensical, Gu Xiuwen couldn't help but pull him out.
"Gu Xiuwu, you know nothing, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"I haven't said anything about you yet. You pretend to be nice to Mother, but in reality, you don't even consider her, right? You've completely sided with Gu Hong and only consider Gu Hong, not Mother at all!"
Gu Xiuwen was both angry and amused. "Mom herself said that Dad didn't hit him. Why don't you believe it? Can the pinching you mentioned be the same as what Mom and the others said?"
Looking at Gu Xiuwen's clear eyes, Gu Xiuwu realized belatedly that something was wrong.
Two children who grew up together can know what the other is thinking with just a glance.
Gu Xiuwen teased, "Finally figured it out?"
“…”
Things have come to this point. Even if Gu Xiuwu is a little bit stupid, he will understand.
His face flushed instantly, and he stammered, "Logically speaking, mother and Gu Hong only spent one night together, right?"
Gu Xiuwen smiled and patted his head. "Alright, just figure it out. You don't have to confirm it's what you think. Otherwise, why would mother be so vague and unwilling to explain?"
Gu Xiuwu opened his eyes wide and found it unbelievable. If this was the truth, then what did he say in front of his parents today!
"Okay, don't worry, Mom and Dad won't blame you for anything, just eat well."
Although he said so, Gu Xiuwu sat at the dinner table with visibly embarrassed expression on his face.
"Wu'er, eat well."
Shen Ningsi picked up a piece of shiny, tempting-looking braised pork for him.
She didn't ask Gu Xiuwu why he was so absent-minded. If she asked, she would not be able to stop talking.
Gu Hong glanced at Gu Xiuwu with a smile. How could he not understand what the young man was thinking?
Gu Hong said meaningfully, "Sometimes, when someone says or does the wrong thing, isn't the best thing to do to just ignore it? After all, once words are spoken, they're like spilled water; there's no way to take them back."
"Instead of dwelling on the impact of what you said, you might as well just forget about it."
“…”
Seeing Gu Xiuwu's face flushed but he didn't say anything for a long time, Gu Hong raised the end of his eyebrows with great pride.
Ever since he came back this time, Gu Xiuwu seemed to be stepping on his head, contradicting everything he said, and disliking everything he did.
This time he finally got back on track!
"Hiss~"
Just when Gu Hong looked away, his toes were stepped on fiercely. The opponent even spun left and right and stepped on him several times, showing that it was done intentionally.
"Even meat can't stop your mouth, General?"
Shen Ningsi looked at Gu Hong with a fake smile, her eyes were extremely clear, only to see the smile on Gu Hong's face stiffen little by little, and finally put away the smile in silence.
After the meal, Gu Xiuwu put away the dishes and was about to wash them, but was stopped.
Gu Hong raised his eyebrows. "Some officials from the surrounding cities have heard about the potato planting method and have come here specially. There are also several good generals among them. You can go and take a look."
Looking at Gu Xiuwu's eyes that suddenly brightened, Gu Hong's mouth corners curled up.
"Of course, it's impossible for ordinary people to see them, nor can they tell you anything about the military exam. This general has already greeted Fan Xing. You can just go over there and ask anything you want to know."
Gu Hong went to the battlefield on his own and obtained his official position with his own ability. He did not take the ordinary martial arts examination route, but what Gu Xiuwu wanted was definitely to take the examination step by step.
