The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1620 - 1623: Request to See Princess Ning

Gu Shuisheng staggered back a few steps before standing straight, hastily saying, "Dear sirs, I’m just..."

"Scram, there’s no ’just’, if you don’t scram, we’ll hit you until you can’t even roll away." One guard said harshly.

Having been a beggar for years, Gu Shuisheng was accustomed to threats of being chased away several times a day, so even being shouted at had little effect on him.

He quickly stood up, using his usual beggar’s bravado, loudly shouted towards the residence, "Princess, Ningwang Residence, I request an audience with Princess Ning, please grant me a favor, sirs."

Xiang Chun happened to pass by and heard the commotion, curiously ran to the gate to take a look.

She saw an unfamiliar man standing outside the gate, while two guards wielded long spears to chase him away.

"Shut up, disturbing our Princess will cost you dearly."

"I request an audience with Princess Ning, please show leniency, sirs."

"Do you think meeting Princess Ning is as simple as that? Scram!"

Xiang Chun observed the young man, who didn’t seem like a bad person, and he looked quite anxious. Could it be there was something urgent?

Moved by curiosity, she stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? What business do you have with our Princess?"

Xiang Chun was brought from the Lin Family by Gu Youyou, the only maid allowed to serve closely, ranking highest in the courtyard after the masters, she was rather respected by others.

The two guards hurriedly told Xiang Chun, "Aunt Xiang Chun, this man is from Zhang Chengxiang’s family, surely he’s here up to no good, we can’t let him in to trouble the Princess."

Another guard added hastily, "The Prince isn’t home, letting him in might be inappropriate."

The first guard feared he was from Zhang Chengxiang to trouble Gu Youyou, but she didn’t care much. Knowing how Gu Youyou handled Zhang Chengxiang and Gu Wu, Xiang Chun was well aware of her Princess’s strength, no ordinary person could easily trouble her.

But what the second guard said was true; he was a young man with good looks and bearing, affiliated with Zhang Chengxiang. If he’s setting a trap for the Princess, letting him in might stir up some unfavorable rumors.

Exactly, they couldn’t allow any chances to harm the Princess.

"Drive him away, and if he won’t leave, send him to the Governor’s Office." Xiang Chun lifted her head, speaking arrogantly.

Gu Shuisheng was disappointed, having hoped the friendly-looking sister would be easier to deal with, but she turned out even more difficult than the others.

However, with no news from Gu Wu for days, not only was Zhang Chengxiang worried, but Gu Shuisheng was anxious too.

Meeting Gu Youyou wasn’t crucial; what mattered was seeing Gu Wu.

Blocked by the two guards, he still loudly called to Xiang Chun, "Sister, dear sister, I’m not here to see the Princess, I need to meet my father, I came to find my father."

"Hm...?" Xiang Chun glanced at the two guards.

The two guards quickly said, "He just said he wanted to see the Princess!"

Xiang Chun raised her eyebrow, coldly smiled as she approached Gu Shuisheng, blocked by the guards, saying, "Looking for your father? Who’s your father?"

"My father is Gu Wu, who came to the residence a few days ago and hasn’t been heard from since. I’m a bit worried, so I came to check."

"Gu Wu?" Xiang Chun was utterly surprised.

She only knew Gu Youyou treated Gu Wu’s children well, the current relatives were living a good life in Beijing or Jinxiu City, and Xiang Chun recognized them all. But this person she had never seen before.
