The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1616 - 1619: Shutting the Door to Deal with Him Slowly
Thinking: this thing was already spreading like crazy in Beijing, who doesn’t know about it? And yet you dare say it’s unclear?
Over there, Gu Wu was somewhat nervous. He hadn’t seen Gu Youyou for many years, and didn’t expect her to have become much sharper since her days in Lotus Village.
Her expression was elusive and enigmatic, both intelligent and unknowable, her demeanor and appearance were somehow reminiscent of the Lin Family daughter from back then.
Before coming, he told himself he must drag Gu Youyou down insistently believing she was his illegitimate daughter, but now encountering her in person, he felt a sense of fear.
Always felt that getting involved with Gu Youyou wouldn’t end well, fearing it’d be worse than being a beggar.
Prime Minister Zhang nudged the stunned Gu Wu, signaling it was time for him to speak.
Gu Wu snapped out of it, hurriedly saying: "Oh, it’s like this, Youyou was too young at that time and didn’t understand things."
"Hmm, perhaps she has already forgotten." Prime Minister Zhang echoed in agreement with Gu Wu.
Gu Wu forced a laugh: "Yes, at that time Youyou was only six or seven years old, the night I had a fierce argument with my brother and sister-in-law, she was asleep and didn’t hear."
Well, one moment saying he didn’t hear, the next saying she was asleep, keep making up stories, continue the fabrication.
Gu Youyou watched them with a knowing yet ambiguous smile.
Prime Minister Zhang said: "Well, now you know. Princess Ning, this is your biological father, he now seeks your protection, and I have helped arrange for him to be brought to your estate, you..."
Before he could finish, Gu Youyou chuckled softly: "Then let him stay!"
Ah...?
Prime Minister Zhang and Gu Wu were both dumbstruck.
"What? Say that again?" Prime Minister Zhang could hardly believe his ears, thinking he misheard.
Gu Wu was even more flustered, bewildered on the spot.
Who is Gu Youyou? She’s the one who wouldn’t even tolerate a tiny loss when holding a dustpan.
He was well aware of how difficult it was to converse with her. He knew clearly Gu Youyou wouldn’t acknowledge him easily; he planned to leverage public pressure to force her compliance.
But yet, none of those tactics had been employed, not even one, and she... agreed?
Gu Youyou smiled politely: "Then let him stay!"
Even if they couldn’t trust their ears, they had no choice but to believe it; Gu Youyou was so accommodating, agreeing to keep Gu Wu.
Although the goal was achieved, somehow, for Prime Minister Zhang, it brought no sense of accomplishment; it felt like punching into cotton.
Gu Youyou smiled and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, now you have no business here, right? See the guest out!"
So finally, Xiang Chun, who had been standing at the gate holding a kitchen knife had a purpose.
She couldn’t decide whether to hold the knife or not, realizing there wasn’t enough time to put it back as the princess herself had come out; she could only take that kitchen knife and see the guest out.
Just one fierce-looking maid carrying a kitchen knife to escort guests out frightened Prime Minister Zhang considerably.
Regardless, Gu Wu had already been left behind, and Prime Minister Zhang ought to leave.
Gu Wu remained bewildered in the living room, shortly after Prime Minister Zhang left, two guards came in, before he could react, they pulled him up and dragged him away.
This rough action finally awakened him, seeing the stern-faced guards, he finally realized something was amiss. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
One would wonder, given Gu Youyou’s nature, how could she possibly accept him? No, this was all a trap; she must be planning to use private punishment against him.
Gu Wu was gripped with fear only now, nearly losing half his life, he shouted: "No, I won’t go, help, I’m not leaving, Prime Minister Zhang, I want to find Prime Minister Zhang..."
Prime Minister Zhang had already left the estate, his hope to find Prime Minister Zhang was destined to fail.
