To be honest, Li was really having a hard time accepting this situation.
Gu Sang gently patted her shoulder.
"Mother, don't worry." She smiled and shook her head, then said, "Let them make up stories." Gu Sang quite enjoyed listening to stories.
The story they made up had better be true, otherwise Gu Sang wouldn't be willing.
Hearing this, Li was angry, but she could only suppress it, which made her even angrier.
In fact, Gu Sang didn't have any other thoughts about all of this. The fact that things had turned out this way was quite ridiculous. Furthermore, if something really happened, it would depend on how they thought about it.
Gu Yinggui was still there, tearfully making accusations.
All the things they said were about how wicked the third branch of the Gu family was, how they bullied the entire Gu family, and how it turned out that the third branch had stolen silver and then opened a business in town.
"My lord! My mother simply couldn't stand it anymore. That was his and my father's money for their funerals! And it was stolen by the third branch of the family. Do you think my mother could tolerate this?"
This version is different.
The county magistrate paused for a moment, unsure of what to say.
The magistrate glanced at his advisor.
The advisor narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Are you sure you're telling the truth? You should know that if you lie to the magistrate, you won't get any benefit at all, understand?"
"I understand, I understand!"
The county magistrate immediately nodded in agreement.
"Sir, we know the consequences of this matter, but no matter what it takes, we cannot let this kind of person destroy our family!"
Look, Gu Yinggui's words were delivered with such vividness and emotion.
The advisor then looked at Gu Sang.
"Young shopkeeper, what do you want to say?"
Gu Sang smiled upon hearing this, then shook her head.
"There's nothing more to say. Their story is so well-crafted that I have nothing more to say."
After Gu Sang finished speaking, she smiled faintly again.
Ms. Li was a little anxious and didn't know what to do.
Is that all there is to it?
So, will they let the third branch of the family off the hook?
Li was a little nervous and quickly grabbed Gu Sang's hands.
Gu Sang gently patted Li's hand.
She only said she didn't want to talk, not that she wouldn't deal with them, so Li didn't need to worry.
But how could Li not be worried now?
As soon as she thought about these things, she couldn't help but close her eyes slightly and then said, "Sangsang, I feel uneasy... I'm a little worried."
Li couldn't quite describe her feelings, but given the current situation, she was really unsure how to handle the hunger.
"It's alright."
At this moment, the county magistrate glanced at Gu Sang and immediately frowned.
It has to be said that this matter is quite difficult to handle. The most important thing is the Gu family's situation, which is really a dilemma for them. After all, as outsiders, they really don't know what's going on.
"Your Majesty, please be clear!"
Seeing the scene before him, Gu Yinggui was very pleased with himself. He then shouted loudly, asking the county magistrate to intervene on their behalf.
At this moment, Gu Yinggui was extremely smug. No matter what happened, Gu Yinggui would never admit his mistakes. Now that things have turned out this way, what else is there to say?
People need to be taught a lesson. Some people are ungrateful and need to be taught a lesson!
Thinking of all this, Gu Yinggui's gaze towards Gu Sang turned fierce.
Gu Sang glanced at Gu Yinggui indifferently.
"Sir, is it really too late to do anything more about this matter now?"
Gu Sang looked at the county magistrate with curiosity. This case was neither good nor bad, but it was definitely difficult, and Gu Sang was well aware of that.
However, Gu Sang wanted to know what the county magistrate planned to do.
At this moment, the county magistrate couldn't help but sigh, then looked up at Gu Sang.
"I investigated this matter yesterday, but I don't know if it's too secretive or what, but there's not a single piece of information about it."
All these troubles coming together make it seem like something is wrong.
The county magistrate is now at a loss as to what to do.
Gu Sang nodded upon hearing this.
"In that case, sir, please release them."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, everyone stared in shock.
Are you just going to release them like that?
Li hurriedly tugged at Gu Sang's sleeve.
Is this girl crazy?!
Gu Sang gently patted Li's hand; she had her own plans.
Gu Yinggui and Li Shi were very smug. In their eyes, Gu Sang was no match for them! After all, if Gu Yinggui wanted to deal with someone, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?
At this moment, Gu Dekang glanced at Gu Sang. For some reason, Gu Dekang felt uneasy, though he couldn't explain why.
Ultimately, the case was closed due to a lack of evidence, and the person was released.
Once outside the yamen, Gu Yinggui's eyes were sinister as he gave Gu Sang a cold smile.
"You little bitch, you just wait!"
This time, they've completely broken off all pretense of civility.
Gu Sang ignored Gu Yinggui and dragged Li Shi and the others away.
Back at the restaurant, Li finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Sangsang, what... what should we do? Your uncle would never allow anyone to treat him like this. Wouldn't he kill us now?"
Li was somewhat frightened. Things had escalated to this point, and their relationship, which wasn't good to begin with, had now deteriorated further.
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang smiled slightly and gently patted Li's back.
"Then, Mother, do you believe me?"
All of Li's anxiety vanished with Gu Sang's confident expression.
"Mother believes you."
For some reason, Li felt very at ease at this moment.
Will the road ahead be difficult? Perhaps!
Li still believed that as long as Gu Sang was there, nothing would be difficult.
"Sangsang, to be honest, although I am very worried about this matter, I believe that as long as I am here, no matter what the problem is, it can be solved."
"Of course!" Gu Sang said with a smile.
"Mother, this matter is not actually very dangerous, it's not a big deal for me, so please don't worry."
