Gu Taitian spoke, and slightly raised his head, giving Zhou Mu a fleeting glance.
Gu Changsheng heard this, and imdiately covered his face in helplessness!
Zhou Mu, on the other hand, swiftly spun on his heel, turned around in a flash, reached out, and deftly closed the door!
Gu Changsheng watched the movents of his family’s evildoer in a daze, montarily unsure of what kind of trick he was up to!
In the midst of retreating, shouldn’t you at least lock yourself out of the room?
Why lock yourself inside the room?
Gu Changsheng had to suspect that his family’s evildoer’s head wasn’t smart—maybe he got it stuck between the door? Wrong direction?
Just as Gu Changsheng was filled with doubt, Zhou Mu slowly turned around, nodded slightly towards his father-in-law, and with a face like the Divine Residence, he gave a plausible smile and said in a deep voice, "Father-in-law, you jest, how could your son-in-law retreat without notice? It’s just that the inn is crowded and noisy, to prevent our conversation from being overheard, I only ca to close the door."
Gu Changsheng heard this and his mouth twitched instinctively.
Close the door...
Was it really just to close the door?
His family’s evildoer had clearly received his eye signal earlier, planning to dodge the post-harvest reckoning, and flee!
Now how could he shalessly say such a sensible thing?
Shaking his head, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but admire the thickness of his family’s evildoer’s face, tsk tsk...
With such quick-wittedness and ability to lie without a second draft, she admitted she was no match, really no match!
"Good! A ticulous mind!" Gu Taitian nodded slightly, smiled at Zhou Mu, then bowed his head and continued to look at the fragnted map on the table, casually saying, "But you should also step back! I have so words for Changsheng."
"Huh?" Gu Changsheng was taken aback. How could this be? Based on his own father’s wisdom, he shouldn’t fail to see that his family’s evildoer was lying, so why easily let his evildoer go?
No post-harvest reckoning?
This isn’t normal!
Very abnormal!
"Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave then." Zhou Mu nodded and gave a ceremonial bow, always a person of complete decorum in front of his father-in-law.
However, as Zhou Mu bowed his head, Gu Changsheng caught a small eye signal ant for her!
Gu Changsheng and her family’s evildoer had been spending ti together for quite a while now, although the usually rough-around-the-edges Gu Changsheng didn’t claim to be as telepathic with her family’s evildoer as an intestinal worm, still, she saw a hint of pity in that look...
Pity!
That’s right!
Her family’s evildoer was playing innocent!
And the reason for her family’s evildoer playing innocent was just one!
Her own father definitely wouldn’t let her leave so easily! Especially when there’s evidence on her lips of their intimate conversation, even less likely!
So, Gu Changsheng imdiately turned her head, looking at her father in bewildernt, waiting for his next move!
Sure enough, not disappointing the duo, Gu Taitian continued to slightly bow, his aged gaze still rested on the geomancy map fragnts, as if detached from everything, calmly spoke, "Dowager Empress Xiao is still on her return journey, and there are so matters from Southern Country that require Changsheng’s decision. However, it’s getting late now, and she almost needs to rest, so I’ve already placed those morials in your guest room, go and handle them tonight, send them back tomorrow."
Gu Changsheng heard this, and three black lines instantly slid down his forehead!
Check it out!
She knew there would be another move!
Those morials were already placed in her family’s evildoer’s guest room, if this wasn’t prearranged, that would be a real ghost!
Also, with her father openly letting her go to sleep, while sneering at her family’s evildoer, is this really okay?
Even the lazy Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but shed a tear of bitterness for her family’s evildoer, right?
"Dad, how many morials were sent?" Gu Changsheng looked at her pitiful evildoer, turned her head, and cautiously asked her father.
Godfather! Hope those older ministers from Southern Country are reliable!
Don’t send a mountain of morials for her family’s evildoer to deal with, otherwise, she’d be really heartbroken!
Gu Taitian heard this, slightly raised his head from the geomancy map, waved his long sleeves, and said with a smile, "Not many! Not many! Just one carriage’s worth!"
