The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1615 - 1618: Grab a Kitchen Knife

"Hey, hey, those with the surname Zhang and Gu Wu are coming with ill intentions, aren’t you supposed to be smart? Hurry up and think of something! They’ve already come to kill us!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Searcy just calmly went about her business, saying, "If they’ve come to kill, the guards are here, what are you worried about? Are you good with a sword, or are you handy with a gun?"

"I... I mean, they’ve come looking for trouble, they must mean harm to the Princess."

Searcy let out a mocking laugh and said, "Afraid of what? In this Beijing city, except for the Emperor, who would dare to mess with Gu Youyou? Even the most tumultuous of commoners outside wouldn’t dare to cause trouble in front of Gu Youyou."

"But the people coming are Prime Minister Zhang and Gu Wu. They must be trying to... to..."

She didn’t even know what they wanted, stammering for a long time without coming up with anything.

Searcy had to remind her, saying, "To force Gu Youyou to acknowledge Gu Wu as her father?"

Xiang Chun nodded eagerly, saying, "Yes, yes, they want the Princess to acknowledge the father!"

Searcy sneered and said, "Do you think Gu Youyou would let people manipulate her? Would she acknowledge whoever they say is her father?"

"Of course not!" Xiang Chun widened her eyes, somewhat angry.

She felt Searcy was too disrespectful to the Princess, and there was a tone of mockery in her words.

Among those freeloading at the Prince Residence, no one was more annoying than her.

"Are you going to handle this or not?" Xiang Chun was done with wasting words on her.

"Not handling it!" Searcy directly refused, saying, "This is none of our business and certainly not mine. If you’re worried, why not make a scene, or go to the kitchen, grab a vegetable knife and stand at the door."

Xiang Chun: "..."

"Go on then!" Searcy even urged her.

Xiang Chun was so angry she felt like spitting blood, but no matter how many times she clashed with Searcy in this residence, she never managed to win.

In the end, she left angrily, but upon thinking it over, she realized that among Searcy’s nonsense, the last two sentences actually had some use.

Right, grab a vegetable knife and stand at the door, if they dare to bully the Princess, she’d fight to the death if she had to, even if it meant chopping them up.

In the main hall,

Gu Youyou watched the two of them calmly, lounging lazily on a deck chair with an air of a domineering CEO.

But her demeanor didn’t match the elegant image that women of this era were supposed to have, instead making her appear disrespectful to the guests, standing and sitting without decorum, quite unbecoming of her status.

A trace of disdain slipped across Prime Minister Zhang’s lips, thinking to himself that a country bumpkin is just a country bumpkin. If it were his daughter, she certainly wouldn’t act like this.

Gu Youyou was indifferent, lightly shaking her small hand and said insipidly, "If there’s something you need, just say it. We’re all old acquaintances, and I know your ways, so let’s not waste time with empty pleasantries. After all, we don’t have much in common."

The words were hardly polite, making both Gu Wu and Prime Minister Zhang’s faces look unpleasant.

But both were used to her bluntness; Gu Wu had learned this the hard way years ago, and as for Prime Minister Zhang, after losing face a few times, he knew perfectly well what kind of person Gu Youyou was.

"In that case, I’ll just speak plainly." Prime Minister Zhang said with a sullen face, "I suppose you recognize him!"

Gu Youyou glanced at Gu Wu, nodded lightly, and then gestured with her hand for Prime Minister Zhang to continue.

"You might not know, he’s not actually your third uncle, but your real father."

"Oh?" Gu Youyou gave a dry laugh and said, "I really didn’t know that, but it seems Prime Minister Zhang knows quite well, doesn’t he."

Prime Minister Zhang was choked by the remark and his face darkened.
