The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1617 - 1620: Private Prison

A guard coldly smiled at him and said, "Be honest, maybe you’ll get a chance to see Chancellor Zhang once more in your life."

"You, what do you want to do with me? What do you want to do? I want to see Gu Youyou, bring Gu Youyou to me."

"Hmph, you? Look at what kind of thing you are, wanting to see our princess. Just give up on that thought!"

Finally, Gu Wu was locked away in the same place where Searcy had previously imprisoned the Empress’s informants, with a small window above and the heavy stone door dropping down, nearly turning it into a completely sealed stone chamber.

But for Gu Wu, who had spent years in the dungeon, the conditions here were much better than in the dungeon.

He knew that Gu Youyou was not someone to be trifled with. Sitting in the dark room, he increasingly regretted provoking Gu Youyou.

Just relying on Erya and Sanbao, they could have had good lives, his adopted son was also a man of letters. If he had just kept a low profile, even if he couldn’t be rich and powerful, he would still be well-fed and clothed.

But there’s no turning back after the bow is drawn, just like many years ago, once he took advantage of that person, he could only continue to make mistake after mistake.

...

Gu Youyou had Gu Wu locked up and didn’t visit him for two days, nor did she let anyone bring him water or food.

Luckily, the weather wasn’t too cold right now. If it were the middle of winter, that freezing stone room could have killed him directly.

Two days later, Gu Wu was both starving and thirsty. Over the past month, he had been living at Chancellor Zhang’s house, accustomed to good food and drink, suddenly reverting to the life of a beggar with no certainty of the next meal, driving him nearly insane.

However, Gu Youyou didn’t intend to actually starve him to death, so after two days, she brought several guards and maids carrying water and lavish food into the stone room.

The heavy stone door opened, sunlight suddenly streamed in, causing Gu Wu’s eyes to quickly shut in discomfort.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Gu Youyou standing in front of him like a queen overlooking the world, surrounded by attendants.

Thinking back to that little girl who was on the verge of death from illness, who could have imagined she would have such a glamorous day?

Gu Youyou smiled faintly, saying, "Hungry?"

The aroma of the food was fatally tempting to Gu Wu. Once his eyes fully adjusted to the sunlight, he looked at the exquisite dishes in the maid’s hands, drooling uncontrollably.

The image of an old beggar drooling was unbearably repulsive to Xiang Chun and others, who expressed that they wouldn’t need lunch.

"You... what do you want to do?"

Gu Wu knew that acting wouldn’t work in front of Gu Youyou, so even though he was starving, he watched her vigilantly.

Gu Youyou laughed and said, "Wrong question, isn’t it? It’s not about what I want to do, but what you want to do."

"I...?" Gu Wu tried not to look at those exquisite dishes, turning his head away and said, "I did wrong back then, I wronged your mother and wronged you, but the fact remains that you are my daughter. Killing me is against justice!"

Gu Youyou’s smile froze, then she turned cold, saying heavily, "So, you don’t want to eat, huh?"

Gu Wu raised his head.

Gu Youyou sneered, "Fine, I’ll fulfill your wish. But don’t worry, I won’t let you die so easily. You’ll stay alive and see how I deal with you."

Gu Youyou had a couple of hard buns and a bowl of cold water left for him.

Then let someone bring in a guard dog, placing those exquisite dishes in front of the dog, letting it devour them all before Gu Wu’s eyes.
