Chapter 639: Chapter 486: I’d Rather be a Son-in-law than a Master
Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, imdiately rolled his eyes and said, “You think I don’t want to? But the Yue Family has been so kind and cultured towards the Flower Peacock, and the Flower Peacock and I have a life-and-death friendship. Plus, he’s also connected to the evildoer, how can I bring myself to kick him out? I can’t find any reason at all, okay?”
At this point, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but look at Borjigin Nian, speaking very earnestly as he continued, “Nian, you must believe , between the Flower Peacock and , it’s truly like spring onion mixed with tofu, clean and plain, with nothing else! The reason he can’t let go is probably just because he can’t accept it!”
When Borjigin Nian heard this, his delicate face scrunched up, and in the blink of an eye, he furiously glared at Gu Changsheng, “You didn’t ntion it, and I didn’t even think about it—Yue Xilou likes you, and you’re my rival in love too! Gu Changsheng, let’s have a fight!”
“Tch!” Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, rolled his eyes again, looking disdainfully at Borjigin Nian, “You can’t beat ; are you trying to strike a stone with an egg?”
Seeing this, Borjigin Nian thought for a mont and finally made up his mind, “Forget it, to secure our position, we must settle external troubles first. Let’s secure the outside before we talk again!”
“Haha! Nian, you’re rarely smart for once!” Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, imdiately laughed, putting his arm around Borjigin Nian’s shoulder, very brotherly as they walked towards the martial arts training ground, “Don’t worry; I won’t compete with you for Flower Peacock. Besides, I’m not much better off than you. Don’t forget, in Prince Mu’s Mansion, there’s still Di Lanyue who stubbornly won’t leave. She’s like waiting by a tree stump, just waiting for the evildoer to co back!”
“Right, how could I forget my senior sister!” Borjigin Nian, upon hearing this, imdiately brightened up, “So, Gu Changsheng, you are even worse off than ! You have adversaries on both fronts; at most, I face adversity from one front!”
Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, imdiately released Borjigin Nian, eyebrows knit together and humd unhappily, “Damn, are you trying to find solace at my expense? Go away, get far away from ; don’t let see that misfortune-gloating face of yours, it’s freaking annoying!”
Saying this, Gu Changsheng walked away from Borjigin Nian towards the martial arts training ground.
“Hey hey, don’t be mad, we’re friends, right? Friends are supposed to share joys and sorrows together, right?”
“I only like sharing joys; as for sorrows, whoever wants them can have them, don’t co to !”
“Gu Changsheng, you’re really not being decent! Totally shaless!”
“I’ve been shaless for so long, and you’re just realizing it? That’s really slow on the uptake!”
“Gu Changsheng…”
The two of them laughed and laughed as they walked to the secluded martial arts training ground adjacent to the Gu Residence, where Zhou Mu and Yue Xilou were fighting a closely matched battle!
Borjigin Nian, having never seen the two fight before, was absolutely thrilled!
“Gu Changsheng, look, my senior brother is clearly going easy! Yue Xilou’s Kung Fu is not bad, but clearly, he can’t beat my senior brother!” Borjigin Nian pointed at the two people on the martial arts training ground, speaking with great interest.
“Good that you know, why bother saying it?” Gu Changsheng glanced at her, noncommittally.
The evildoer, from the beginning to the end, must have felt he owed Flower Peacock, right? The kinship that he had enjoyed, which originally belonged to Flower Peacock, was a debt probably impossible to repay in a lifeti…
Yue Xilou, trained in the Music and Dance Academy style, executed moves that were soft yet vicious. Zhou Mu, whose martial arts were taught by Mr. Di from Vast Mountain, had excellent physique and a range of techniques, with moves that were bold and fierce.
However, each ti they crossed hands, Zhou Mu was always not going all out!
Such repeated exchanges had been seen many tis under Baili Mountain before, and having seen it enough tis, Gu Changsheng was no longer as interested as before!
Damn, she really wondered, was this unique way of interaction between them or what?
eting up just to quarrel, they couldn’t talk for long without bickering! This was completely not in line with their temperants at all!
“That’s enough! It’s ti to eat!” Seeing that it was getting dark, Gu Changsheng shouted to the two in the field.
The evildoer had rushed back from Liaodong to Liuzhou; didn’t he feel tired at all? Was this person made of iron or what?
Upon hearing this, the two in the field instantly separated, very in sync!
Seeing this, Borjigin Nian couldn’t help but stare, looking up at Gu Changsheng admiringly and giving a thumbs up, “Impressive! That trick really worked!”
“It’s because they’re hungry!” Gu Changsheng rolled his eyes again, and imdiately headed towards the dining hall.
Of course they’d be hungry! Fighting takes a lot of energy!
When Zhou Mu was around, little at bun just couldn’t stop smiling; he imdiately clung to him like a plaster, endlessly calling ‘Uncle Wood, Uncle Wood’.
This made Yue Xilou beside them frown deeply, looking as if he wanted to stare holes into his own disciple!
Gu Changsheng was quite speechless about this!
She felt that her little at bun and the evildoer really seed to have a bit of a ‘joy of eting after a ti apart’ vibe, while as for herself, she wasn’t overly thrilled, just feeling that it should be this way, that it was ant to be.
However, Gu Changsheng’s al was filled with profound worries!
Speaking of which, the evildoer had returned, but how could he be sent away?
Although her foster father was on Baili Mountain, Uncle Song had already sent a ssage there, and he would surely return by tomorrow morning!
If the evildoer insisted on staying in her room today, wouldn’t her foster father catch them in bed tomorrow? Thinking of her foster father’s stern teachings, Gu Changsheng felt overwheld and almost wanted to bang her head against a wall!
Perhaps, she should prepare a wooden club once again!
Then, as usual, the evildoer would coincidentally let her rush about in vain and leave by himself!
With the dinner bowl piled high with dishes by the evildoer, Gu Changsheng ate voraciously without glancing at him even once. Zhou Mu simply smiled indulgently.
After dinner, just as Gu Changsheng was worrying about how to broach the topic of sending Zhou Mu away, Uncle Song entered and reported, “Son-in-law, Lady Changsheng, Eunuch Yuan Bao has arrived!”
Upon hearing that Yuan Bao had arrived, Gu Changsheng’s eyes imdiately lit up, “Quickly, please invite him in!”
Damn, she had never welcod that little Xiao Er Que as much as she did now!
“Master, Yuan Bao has missed you to death! Wuu wuu…” Before Yuan Bao even entered, he started wailing, throwing himself on the floor before them, sobbing uncontrollably, “Master, have you missed Yuan Bao? Look, Yuan Bao has missed you so much, I’ve lost weight… wuu wuu…”
Gu Changsheng was startled upon hearing this and looked incredulously at Yuan Bao, who was progressively becoming plumper, almost resembling a bouncing ball.
This guy! His persuasive power in speaking is just too weak! How could he dare to claim he’s lost weight, with that body shape?
Zhou Mu looked at his tongue-tied little woman and then glanced at the wailing Yuan Bao on the ground, a hint of helplessness in his eyes as he rubbed his forehead and said, “Alright, I’m back now, aren’t I? Stand up and talk!”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao obediently got up from the ground, his face full of accusations and tears in his eyes as he looked at his master, expressing boundless grief, “Master, how could you do this? Every ti you return, you pass by the ho but never enter. Don’t you know everyone in the mansion is eagerly awaiting your return like they are waiting for the stars and the moon?”
“Are you really content being the Gu Residence’s son-in-law and not our master? You have deeply hurt our hearts… wuu wuu…”
“Pfft!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but burst out laughing upon hearing this, and she looked at Yuan Bao with full admiration!
Incredible! Xiao Er Que, you truly are incredible!
Indeed, how could he be content being the son-in-law of her Gu Residence and not return ho?
Better go back! Otherwise, when her foster father returns, he’s definitely going to reprimand her harshly!
Zhou Mu gave Yuan Bao a glance, his brows slightly furrowed, and he spoke sternly, “Speak human language!”
Hearing this, Yuan Bao’s grieving face froze, and he stopped his wailing imdiately, lowering his head and murmuring, “Well… Mr. Di’s daughter knew you had returned to the city but hadn’t co ho, and she’s been causing chaos in the County Prince’s Mansion for half the day!”
At this point, Yuan Bao looked up at the two people seated above him and assured with a thump on his chest, “Master, Lady Changsheng, you must believe Yuan Bao, I really tried my best! I wanted to give you so personal ti, but I just couldn’t handle it anymore! Miss Di almost blew the rooftop off the mansion, and she has chopped down every single plant in the mansion! Master, save us! If you don’t co back soon, the people in the mansion will be tornted to death!”
Gu Changsheng heard this and turned her head, chuckling quietly.
anwhile, Zhou Mu frowned deeply, looking at her with concern, and asked softly, “When did your junior sister arrive in Liuzhou? Has she caused you any trouble? Why didn’t you inform ?”
Gu Changsheng turned back, smiling as she replied, “She ca before the New Year, caused a scene once, got beaten up by , and then was severely scolded by my foster father. She’s been staying at your mansion ever since. You were away on a campaign, and I didn’t let them report these minor matters. Fortunately, she’s been rather quiet, so I just let her stay there!”
She is the evildoer’s junior sister, the daughter of Zhou Mu’s master. Even if she is Zhou Mu’s fiancée, she had no right to kick her out!
Zhou Mu heard this, and his brows finally relaxed. He reached out to smooth her hair and spoke with a hint of guilt, “Her junior sister is stubborn and unruly, inevitably causing trouble for my love. Please bear with her for a while. In a few days, she will naturally go back to Liaodong!”
Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but look up, questioning Zhou Mu.
Damn, he made it sound so easy. If Di Lanyue were that easy to dissuade, she, Gu Changsheng, would chop off her own head and kick it like a ball!
Everyone has their obsessions, and although Di Lanyue appeared stubborn, Gu Changsheng could see deep obsession in her eyes! From her willingness to linger in Liuzhou for half a year just waiting for Zhou Mu to return, her persistence was evident!
To endure! To wait! A woman like that, when she loves soone, it is an all-or-nothing battle, and she wouldn’t let go easily!
“Son-in-law,” Uncle Song hesitated for a mont then stepped forward, gathering his courage to speak, “The master has sent a ssage, he’ll handle things on Baili Mountain and return ho early tomorrow morning. Even Prince Bao from Baili Mountain will be back. With your current status and no elders around, staying overnight at Gu Residence might be inappropriate. May I ask your intentions, son-in-law?”
