The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1621 - 1624: Xiang Chun Oversteps Authority

Something’s wrong. He came from Prime Minister Zhang’s place, could it be...

Gu Wu came from Prime Minister Zhang’s, and those relatives who had a good relationship with Gu Youyou all received her care, except for those who didn’t get along with her, like Gu Wu.

Hmm...

Xiang Chun suddenly remembered the teachings of the princess yesterday. She said that the reason she kept Gu Wu was to keep this trouble in her own hands to avoid being used by others.

As the head maid beside the princess, Xiang Chun naturally must also have such awareness, otherwise, how could she serve her master?

So today, Xiang Chun made a decision for Gu Youyou, to capture this troublesome relative and imprison him with Gu Wu in one place.

"Capture and take away!" Xiang Chun said coldly.

Gu Shuisheng was thrown by Xiang Chun’s people into the dark stone house where Gu Wu was held, only then did he know that Gu Wu was living like a prisoner these days.

But didn’t they say that Princess Ning acknowledged Gu Wu as her father and took him back to the Prince Residence to enjoy life?

What is going on now?

"Dad!" Gu Shuisheng exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the person crouched in the corner.

Gu Wu slowly lifted his head, both hungry and thirsty, making his voice sound hoarse.

"Why are you here?" He was also utterly surprised upon seeing who it was.

Xiang Chun laughed coldly from behind, "Aren’t you pleased I’ve reunited you father and son? Shouldn’t you thank me?"

Gu Wu recognized Xiang Chun; she was a maid by Gu Youyou’s side who seemed to have Gu Youyou’s trust.

He hurriedly said, "You can’t imprison Shuisheng. He is this year’s Top Scholar of the autumn examination!"

"Ha!" Xiang Chun sneered, "Would someone like you, conspiring with the Zhang family, be qualified to be the Top Scholar? Do you take the Emperor for a fool?"

"You, you stop looking down on us, you despicable maid, what right do you have to imprison Shuisheng? Go call Gu Youyou, I want to see Gu Youyou!"

Xiang Chun stamped her feet angrily and scolded, "You might as well save your breath. Let me tell you, once you are here, don’t expect to get out. Do you know what this place is? Hmph, of the people imprisoned here, nine out of ten went insane, and the remaining one committed suicide!"

Gu Wu was filled with a deep sense of dread. No matter how much he calculated, he hadn’t expected Gu Youyou to have turned into such a person.

She actually dared to set up a private prison and abuse her power?

As the saying goes, the hard fears the calculative, the calculative fears the reckless.

Unless he doesn’t value his life, he really shouldn’t have crossed Gu Youyou.

"You... you are too much, tell Gu Youyou I am her father. Does she dare treat me this way, wanting to be struck by lightning?"

Whether or not he was the father, Xiang Chun didn’t know, but judging from Gu Youyou’s attitude towards Gu Wu, he probably wasn’t.

Gu Youyou wasn’t the type to be harsh on her father, unless the person was an utterly shameless rascal.

Xiang Chun spat, "Shameless old thing, how dare you pretend to be our princess’s father? Hmph, wait till our Prince comes back to deal with you."

"Jin Zijin? Fine, I will see what Jin Zijin says when he comes back." In Gu Wu’s mind, Jin Zijin was still an honest and simple hunter who didn’t speak much.

Xiang Chun left haughtily with her people, but with Gu Wu still imprisoned and now Gu Shuisheng as well, this confrontation with Gu Youyou felt like a lost battle.

Gu Wu was utterly anxious, shouting loudly, "Why did you come here? Oh dear, what do we do? I am imprisoned, but if you are also imprisoned, what will you do if there’s a chance at the imperial examination?"
