Chapter 95 095. Inquiry
Gu Kaiyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Master Liu, you should have seen the treatment my wife and I have received these days.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law sent someone to follow us, otherwise my husband and I might not have survived until today.
From the day we bought the ox cart, my wife didn't even have a seat. At that time, I knew that my wife and I were already disposable.
I knew from a young age that my mother didn't like me. She would often exaggerate a small thing and describe me as a naughty and stupid child.
I can ignore all of this and endure it silently, but the fetus in Bai's belly is also their grandson, how can they be so cruel? "
Under the influence of a few glasses of wine, Gu Kaiyuan began to complain. The Gu family was very concerned about its reputation, but Gu Kaiyuan didn't care.
Having suffered so much injustice, he doesn't want to endure it anymore.
This also lays the groundwork for some of his subsequent actions, and he doesn't want to be too passive.
"Alas, fingers have different lengths, there's nothing we can do about it." Liu Pingkang had known Gu Kaiyuan before, and of course he also understood Gu Kaiyuan and knew that what he said was true.
As children of the Gu family, the first two brothers could continue their studies for the imperial examinations, but Gu Kaiyuan had to take care of household affairs early on.
Gu Kaiyuan is not a stupid and naughty person. Judging from his various behaviors, he is even much better than the two young masters of the Gu family.
I heard that the second son of the Gu family has been taking exams for many years and is still only a student. If it were an ordinary family, they would have given up long ago and would not allow him to waste time like this.
"It's really not easy for you," Liu Pingkang filled Gu Kaiyuan's glass with wine, "It's okay to stay away from your parents, but those men in black won't give up easily.
Go back and talk to your family about it, and resolve whatever can be resolved on your own as quickly as possible, so as not to burden everyone else.
We are brothers, and I won't hide it from you. I have already sent a letter back as fast as I can about what happened before, and there may be news in the next two days.
If someone attacks again, your family will probably have to return to Beijing and be interrogated again."
Gu Kaiyuan drank the wine in his glass and took a bite of meat before saying, "This matter is really not up to me to decide. I have no say in our family.
But Sir Liu, don't worry, if something like this happens again, I will definitely not cause any trouble for you with my wife."
“…We are all troubled, but that doesn’t mean we don’t care. The lives of our brothers are also lives, and we don’t want to be dragged into this for no reason.
I just want you to tell Lord Gu that if the men in black attack again, don't blame us brothers for choosing to protect ourselves first." Liu Pingkang put down his glass and stared at Gu Kaiyuan.
The Bai family gave a lot of silver, but they were not willing to sacrifice their lives for the silver. Being able to help once was their greatest duty.
If something like this happens again, they will definitely choose to protect themselves.
This time he agreed to let Gu Kaiyuan treat him because he wanted to make the unpleasant things clear up front.
They had promised the Bai family that they would protect the young couple, but they didn't care about the life or death of the other members of the Gu family.
"Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate," Gu Kaiyuan said with a relaxed look. "I believe my father won't have any life-or-death feuds. It should just be some minor conflicts. Otherwise, he would have hurt someone directly last time."
Seeing that Gu Kaiyuan was still so naive and still speaking for the Gu family at this time, Liu Pingkang couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
Although he complained, this kid really couldn't just ignore it.
Anyway, no matter what, we will try to keep their ox carts as far away from the Gu family as possible in the future. As long as we protect the aunt of the Bai family, we will naturally get benefits when we return.
The two drank for a while before Gu Kaiyuan staggered back to the next room.
Bai Suihe saw him coming in reeking of alcohol and quickly helped him to the bed, "Why did you drink so much?"
"Suihe, I'm fine," Gu Kaiyuan said, lying on the bed, his eyes bright, "Liu Pingkang agreed to this dinner today because he wanted me to warn the Gu family on his behalf.
These people have their own wisdom in dealing with things, but it’s a pity that they can’t get what they want this time.” “When I just came back, I went to the lobby on purpose and saw the Gu family having a drink in the lobby, so I went over to say hello.
I went on a drunken rampage and just came back. I'm already drunk tonight and will sleep through the night."
Bai Suihe noticed that he was speaking unclearly and knew that although he was not completely drunk, he was at least seven-tenths drunk.
Knowing what she would face tonight, she didn't put him into the space, but helped him pull up the quilt and covered him, "Go to sleep..."
Bai Suihe waited until he fell asleep before going to open the door. Dongmei and Chunxiang were still waiting outside.
"Miss, how about we stay and help you?" The son-in-law is really not aware of the young lady's current situation? She is still drunk.
"No, you guys go get some rest. Stay in your room tonight and don't go anywhere."
Although Dongmei and Chunxiang didn't know why the young lady said this, they still nodded obediently.
The two of them went back to their rooms, explained something to their men, and then went to bed early.
They had been sleeping in the open air these days and didn't dare to sleep very deeply.
This is a post station, and there are escorts next to it, so safety is not a problem.
It was late at night and the whole inn was quiet.
Gu Baijiang opened his eyes. If he heard correctly, he heard some noise outside the door.
Xu Huizhen, who was standing by, cheered loudly but was not affected at all.
"Who?" Gu Baijiang asked in a calm voice.
"Master Gu, I have something to discuss with you."
"Lord Gu is not here. You have come to the wrong place." Gu Baijiang became alert. If someone was sent by Lord Ming, he would not be so timid.
"You're in the right place. You're Gu Baijiang, right?"
It has been a long time since he heard someone call his name so directly, and Gu Baijiang could hear a hint of ill intention in it.
Thinking of the man in black before, he couldn't take the initiative to go out.
Such a thin door couldn't block all of this, and he didn't even have anything to block the door.
I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If I had known this would happen, I should have slept in a dormitory.
"Master Gu, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. It doesn't make much difference whether you come out by yourself or we go in."
"..."
"In that case, don't blame us for being rude."
Just as Gu Baijiang was thinking about how to solve this problem, the sound of fighting suddenly came from outside.
He didn't know whether it was the escort who discovered him or Lord Ming who sent someone to help him, so he held the door tightly with his body.
"Why are you still awake in the middle of the night?" Xu Huizhen impatiently sat up from the bed and saw Gu Baijiang holding the door. "Master, what are you doing?"
"Come and help hold the door. There is an assassin outside." Gu Baijiang's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Huizhen's huge body.
"There's an assassin," Xu Huizhen screamed, "Is it the man in black from before?"
