Gu Sang narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Perhaps this is a turning point for us. Once they're out, they'll only become more arrogant, and then we'll have a clear way to punish them. Besides... Mother, I've discovered something else."
Upon hearing this, Li also glanced at Gu Sang with curiosity.
"What?"
Li was happy that her daughter was shrewd, but it also pained her.
If it weren't for her being a useless mother, how could things have come to this?
Thinking of all this, Li felt very sorry for Gu Sang.
However, Gu Sang didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She thought for a moment and then said, "Mother, you tell me... what did my uncle do with the money he sold me?"
"Didn't you return it?" Madam Li looked at Gu Sang in surprise.
Gu Sang smiled and shook her head, saying, "Mother, don't worry, how could someone like him possibly give away money?"
"So..." Li seemed to have thought of something and involuntarily covered her mouth.
"I didn't think about these things before, and just threw them into jail without thinking. But now, I've found a good way, a way to deal with them properly!"
After Gu Sang finished speaking, she gave a cold laugh and then said, "We know very well what kind of people they are. Mother, you should know that if that county magistrate finds out, he will definitely not let them off so easily."
So, the fate of their family ultimately depends on Gu Sang's own thoughts. Gu Sang has actually had her own ideas about this matter, and if anything really goes wrong, it will depend on how she handles it.
Li hadn't thought about these things before, but after hearing Gu Sang's words, she understood them clearly.
"Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish." They remembered how the Gu family had bullied them.
Gu Sang hadn't cared much about such things before, so naturally she wasn't worried. However, the current situation did make Gu Sang feel that something was amiss.
"Mother, what do you think will happen if this matter is really exposed?"
Upon hearing this, Li paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Sangsang, if something really happens, all I can say is... Mother will just watch how they treat us. Right now, it's just how some people treat them, and none of us can say for sure."
Now that Li has said so, it will be easier to handle what the steward needs to do next.
"Okay, Mom, don't worry, nothing will happen in the future. I'll handle it."
"good."
Not long after, Li Rong found Gu Sang and asked her what had happened.
"You should know that doing this is dangerous for you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang merely tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then tell me, what should I do to avoid any danger?"
These words made Li Rong pause in surprise; in fact, Li Rong didn't know either.
Because of this situation, no matter what happens in the end...
Gu Sang smiled faintly when she saw Li Rong's appearance.
"See, you have no choice, do you?"
"I know what you mean. I don't want to go into details and put pressure on you, but I can tell you clearly that I can handle it."
After Gu Sang finished speaking, she playfully winked. Of course, she had a way; otherwise, she wouldn't have done it. Hearing this, Li Rong gently pinched the bridge of her nose.
“I know you have a way, but right now... it’s not that simple, you should know that.”
Now that things have escalated to this point, it's practically a declaration of war against the Gu family. What wouldn't people like the Gu family do? From beginning to end, Li Rong's only concern was for Gu Sang's safety. But this girl never seemed to think that way. This was something that left Li Rong feeling quite helpless.
"You should know that if this matter isn't handled properly, none of us will be in a good position." Li Rong was quite objective about this matter. He was indeed doing it all for Gu Sang's sake.
Gu Sang understood this, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I don't know what to say to put your mind at ease, but please believe me."
Seeing that he still looked so bitter and resentful, she chuckled, patted his shoulder, and continued, "How could such a small matter be difficult for me?"
At this point, it's unlikely that Gu Sang would listen to anything Li Rong said, so she decided not to ask any further questions.
"Alright, I won't ask you anymore, but you still need to think this through, understand?"
"Um."
"The first thing to ensure is my own safety."
"good."
"besides……"
"Li Rong."
Gu Sang had to stop the young man from showing her concern. Li Rong also paused for a moment, and then shut up after a long while.
"I'll go outside and see if there's anything else I can help with."
After saying that, the person ran away.
Meanwhile, the Gu family members hurriedly went home after leaving the yamen.
Zhang wanted to go to Gu Sang's sauerkraut fish restaurant to scold her and vent her anger, but Gu Dekang scolded her and told her to behave.
Do you really think they're letting us off the hook?
Upon hearing this, Gu Yinggui paused in his steps.
"Father, what's wrong? That girl bullies us so much, can't we even teach her a lesson?"
Li took her children and went out to start their own household. If the villagers found out, who knows what they'd say!
"Dad, you used to be the first to rush to the rescue no matter what happened. Why are you being so cautious now?"
They're now locked in a life-or-death struggle with the third branch of the family, but his father seems to be acting as if he doesn't dare to mess with them.
Thinking about all this, Gu Yinggui asked, "Father, I really don't understand what you're thinking. Do you think it's all my fault?"
These words made Gu Dekang frown, and he glanced at his son.
"So, it's all my fault?"
Gu Yingfu remained silent. That was his own father, so Gu Yinggui didn't ask any more questions at this point.
"Father, we are sworn enemies with the third branch of the family, so there's no point in saying anything more."
After finishing speaking, Gu Yingfu went straight home.
Gu Dekang paused, and even Zhang Shi, who was usually so loud and boisterous, glanced at him cautiously at this moment.
