326 Chapter 326-prodigal plaything

In the end, shopkeeper Cheng did not manage to send Cheng Rui’s letter and gift out. He brought them back in one piece.

When the carriage passed by Lu Zheng’s house, Lu Zheng crossed his arms and squinted at the carriage. The good days of the Cheng family were probably over!

He did not know if he had come today with the intention of forcing Gu Nian to come back, or if he had taken a roundabout route to get Gu Nian back, or if he wanted to turn against her.

However, no matter which one it was, they couldn’t escape from the Gu family!

Lu Zheng had not been idle for the past two days. He had recruited many people over the past few months, and he had assigned them a mission, which was to investigate master Cheng in secret.

There would be news in two days.

And the most important thing was that he had just received news this morning that the person Xue Er had accompanied to the Qing provincial government was the highest-ranking person in the Zhou Dynasty.

In his previous life, he had been on good terms with Xue Er, but he had never heard of Xue Er accompanying people to the Qing Prefecture in plain clothes.

He didn’t know what they were here for.

He should have reached Qingzhou Prefecture in the next two days. He only hoped that the person would not come to Taoyuan County and that Xue Er would not meet Gu Nian.

Although Xue er’s status was much higher than Cheng Rui’s, the Gu family would never allow Gu Nian to be Xue er’s concubine.

When it came to marriage, Xue Er didn’t have as much freedom as he did.

His stepmother was eager for him to marry someone of low status, but Xue er’s side was different. It had to be a girl of equal social status.

He did not want to see the Gu family being threatened by Xue Er again.

Moreover, Gu Nian was indeed beautiful. That woman was only in her early thirties. Every three years, she would choose concubines to enrich her harem. She also liked beautiful women.

Lu Zheng was extremely worried.

His worry happened to come true. The Gu family was indeed planning to go to the prefecture as a whole. God had made arrangements for them, so it was useless for him to worry.

……

It was almost dark when Gu shouxin and uncle Gu came.

Uncle Gu had prey hanging from his back and front, and he was laughing along the way. He looked like a big, silly man.

“His father, you’re back! Aiyo, so much prey! His father, you’re so amazing!” Zhang Shi said proudly when she saw Gu shouxin.

“Wife, I didn’t do this. Today, I only caught one pheasant. The rest were caught by second brother. It’s second brother who is amazing!” Uncle Gu said with pride.

“Aiya, without you, second brother wouldn’t have been able to catch him alone!” Zhang Shi still felt that her man was amazing. She really didn’t make the wrong choice!

“No, no, no. Without me, second brother might have caught even more. My big movements startled the wild rabbits. Otherwise, second could have caught a few more. Second brother even found orchids! Second brother is so amazing!” Uncle Gu shook his head.

Zhang Shi,”hehe.”

Are you going to die if you don’t refute me!

Would you like to leave me some thoughts?

Let me think that my man is better than Cai Xiaolian’s man, okay?

‘Damn it!’

“Orchid? What kind of breed is it?” Grandpa Gu couldn’t care less about the prey and looked at Gu shouxin’s hand.

“Father, this is it. Xinxin said that you liked it a lot. I thought it looked like an orchid, so I got it back.” Gu shouxin carried two Lotus orchids and handed them to Grandpa Gu.

“Aiyo! You wastrel, how could you carry such a precious thing back like this? Fourth brother, hurry up, bring a basin over and get some soil. Forget it, forget it, I’ll do it myself!” Grandpa Gu carefully took it from Gu shouxin’s hands and planted it himself.

Gu shouxin thought,”my noble father has also learned how to scold a wastrel?”
