Chapter 1879: Chapter 1879: So Generous (Part 1)
Gu Sheng’s face contorted with rage, cursing Jiang Guanyu, the old fool, in his heart. Why must he bring up such a sore subject? But he couldn’t say anything, so he just forced a couple of dry laughs.
“You, such a wretched woman, dare to accuse Lord Gu, I wonder who gave you such courage.” Lord Jiang acted as if he didn’t see Gu Sheng’s unpleasant expression, and started to criticize Zou Qiuyue, “Lord Gu’s wife is virtuous indeed. Of all people you could pretend to be, why pretend to be Lady Gu?”
Gu Sheng’s mouth twitched.
Zou Qiuyue was completely bewildered at this point. How had she beco an impersonator? She was Zou Qiuyue, but…
“Lord Gu, you should have seen the scene back then. This woman and that Nun of Virtue, they were with the man at the sa ti… haha…” Lord Jiang looked at Gu Sheng again, as if ready to pull him into another conversation.
“Lord Jiang, if there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave.” Gu Sheng had no ti to listen to Lord Jiang’s babbling, so he directly bid his farewell.
“No, nothing else, go on.” Lord Jiang even stood up to see him off. Despite all the talking, he didn’t ntion anything about finding weapons.
Gu Sheng left the Governor’s Office with a tense face, only to run into Gu Qingheng just outside, causing his eyebrows to furrow instantly.
Gu Qingheng, however, looked calm and collected, and even nodded slightly as he approached Gu Sheng, calling out “Lord Gu.”
Gu Sheng was startled, suddenly feeling a surge of anger, taking a step sideways to block Gu Qingheng’s path.
Gu Qingheng stopped right away, looking at him leisurely.
“Why did you co back?” Gu Sheng naturally knew this was his eldest son, as he perfectly inherited the best traits from him and Shu Manzhi. Those eyes looked just like Shu Manzhi’s, but the eyebrows were identical to his own.
“Lord Gu, your words are quite strange.” Gu Qingheng’s lips curled up slightly, “Do we know each other?”
“You…” Gu Sheng was at a loss for words, feeling that any answer would be wrong.
“Lord Gu, instead of wasting ti here bantering with this General, perhaps you should pay attention to your own household. For soone to rise to such a high rank, one shouldn’t be foolish, yet look at the result?” Gu Qingheng laughed, even with a hint of disdain, “A green hue above, raising soone else’s son every day, tut tut, Lord Gu, you are indeed… generous…” Then he walked past Gu Sheng and continued inside.
Gu Sheng was stunned for a mont, then suddenly turned around: “What do you an? It’s you! You orchestrated all of this!”
Gu Qingheng turned back and scoffed: “Lord Gu, how strange. Did I make you plot against your first wife? Was it I who had your concubine cuckold you? Or did I make you exile your own son but raise another’s child?”
“You’re lying! You… you’re insolent!”
“Call it lies if you want.” Gu Qingheng’s smile turned eerie, “As for insolence, this General has the capital to be insolent, take care of yourself.” With that, he went into the Governor’s Office without delay.
Gu Sheng was trembling with anger, but could do nothing about it. He knew, though he hadn’t admitted it was his wife, would others believe him? Also, what did he say? Raising another’s son? Could Cheche… no, it must be this wretched boy talking nonsense!
“My Lord!” Ali called out to Gu Sheng worriedly.
