"Why is the capital so dangerous? Those people's hands are too far outstretched, and they have even reached out to other houses."
After Lu finished speaking, she looked at Gu Chengyu with a worried look.
"Xiaobao! Why is your life in the capital so difficult? Will it cause trouble for you if we go?"
Gu Chengyu felt warm in his heart. No matter what time, the first thing his mother thought about was her son.
"Mom, it's okay! Those people just want to know some news! It won't have any impact on weekdays. Besides, only Ming Mo and Ming Yan can enter my study. Even if these people have some purpose, they can't succeed.
"Gu Chengyu comforted Ms. Lu.
He didn't want to frighten Mr. Lu. What if he refused to return to the capital with him?
Before he came back, his second sister Qian warned him that he must bring his father and mother to live in the capital for a while.
The second sister has not been back to her hometown for more than three years, so she naturally misses her parents at home. She was pregnant and had to travel a lot, and then she gave birth to a baby, which made it even more inconvenient for her to come back.
Father Gu quietly put the cigarette holder in his mouth, and just as he was about to light it, Mrs. Lu snatched it away.
"Tap, twitch! Xiaobao is here!" Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes at Father Gu, making the atmosphere that was tense just now become more relaxed.
Dad Gu looked confused. What does his smoking have to do with Xiaobao? If Xiaobao is here, he can’t smoke?
Gu Chengyu wanted to laugh at this moment, he was the one who traveled through time, right? Do you know that second-hand smoke is harmful to your health?
"Then what do you think your second uncle wants to do when you come back this time?" Dad Gu got back to the subject. He couldn't tell what he thought about this second brother.
After not seeing each other for so many years, the friendship between the brothers has indeed faded a bit. When he first saw his second brother, he was indeed excited.
But this second brother was plotting against his son, and he felt unhappy.
Speaking of which, we finally got to the point.
"Dad! He came back just to persuade you to go to the capital with me. He may still have the idea of living in the mansion. Don't let him coax you. I think he is very smart! There will be people behind him to help."
When Father Gu heard this, he immediately became even more unhappy. In order to plot against his own son, he could plot against him regardless of brotherhood.
It seems that the second brother has changed. After so many years, in the eyes of the second brother, how can the affection between brothers compare to his own grandson? There is no need to hesitate about this matter.
However, this matter is indeed difficult to choose. Anyone else would probably choose this way!
He understands, but he can't forgive him if he is the one scheming against his own family.
Father Gu kept paying attention to the yard outside the window, fearing that Gu Changbai and his wife would suddenly come to the main room.
"Xiaobao! What do you want to do with your second uncle?" After a moment of silence, Father Gu looked at Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu was dumbfounded for a moment. He had no affection for Gu Changbai, so he naturally didn't care what his outcome would be.
The most important thing at the moment is to know who is behind the scenes, and he doesn't want to worry about the rest. Gu Changbai works for that person, and if he fails, he will expose that person, and the consequences will go without saying.
As for Xiao Yao, the child is innocent and he may think of a solution.
Gu Chengyu's silence made Father Gu understand what he meant.
He sighed quietly, still feeling a little bit unbearable.
"Xiaobao! Can you save his life in the end?"
Gu Chengyu raised his head and glanced at Dad Gu, and saw that his father still had a look of hope on his face. He didn't know how to answer.
After thinking for a while, Gu Chengyu said: "Dad! Even if I let him go, that person will not let him go. I will try to find a way to deal with Xiao Yao, but I can't guarantee it."
Father Gu was a little disappointed when he heard this, but then he thought about it and realized that this was the most benevolent and righteous thing to do.
He heard from his eldest brother that it was not easy for Xiaobao to achieve the official position of the sixth rank in such a short period of time. But the sixth rank was simply not enough in the capital. How noble are those aristocratic families and nobles?
If the person behind him is a giant, Xiaobao can barely save Xiaoyao. If Xiaobao is asked to save his second brother, wouldn't it mean that Xiaobao is trying to kill an egg with an egg against a stone?
Dad Gu figured it out and was relieved. In any case, it was the second brother's own choice. Besides, according to Xiaobao, the second brother didn't look guilty.
"Then you try your best! If you can't save it, it's all your life!" After finishing speaking, Mr. Gu felt a little melancholy.
"You still want your son to protect him? In my opinion, you shouldn't protect him. He's plotting against us and he's not the least bit soft-hearted. You still think of him as your second brother, but he doesn't think of you as your biological brother."
Mrs. Lu has now figured out what happened, and she can't bear the people who plotted against her son.
The old man actually wants Xiaobao to take risks to save Gu Changbai? If that man becomes angry and wants Gu Changbai's life, how can Xiaobao stop him?
She is not stupid. The person behind Gu Changbai is so scheming, and he even found Xiao Wa to replace Xiao Yao. He must be a person with great hands and eyes.
Even if not, he is still better than her son, at least for now.
"Xiaobao! Don't listen to your father, just protect yourself. We are not the king of hell, how can we care about other people's lives and deaths?"
Father Gu wanted to defend himself, but when he looked up, he saw that Mrs. Lu was very dissatisfied, especially her face was very gloomy.
"Xiaobao! Do you want to tell your uncle about this? I'm afraid that he will also be attracted by the second brother." Dad Gu changed the subject and talked about Uncle Gu.
"It's better not to tell for now. Uncle has a lot of family members, lest he spill the beans or reveal clues when getting along with Gu Changbai."
Both sides are brothers, and Gu Changbai has some difficulties in this matter. He is afraid that Uncle Gu will be in a dilemma.
Even though he and his family have lived in the same village for so many years, Gu Changbai is still his younger brother after all.
"This matter has nothing to do with uncle. I will resolve the matter in two days. It won't take long. Dad, Mom, don't worry!"
Father Gu nodded. Since his son knew what was going on, he couldn't interfere anymore.
"Dad! Set the date for the banquet as soon as possible! See if there are any auspicious days in these days."
Gu Chengyu planned to settle the matter with Gu Changbai after the banquet was over, so as to avoid a long night and many dreams.
Before, he had been thinking about leaving Gu Changbai alone and waiting to follow the clues when he returned to the capital. But there were too many variables when returning to the capital, so it was better to solve them in Jingyuan Prefecture.
"Your uncle and I have already seen the days. The third day is a good day, and there is another good day on the ninth. Will the ninth day be successful? The third day is still too hasty."
Gu Chengyu shook his head. He would observe Gu Changbai again in the past two days. No one contacted him, so he would take action directly on the night after the banquet.
Everyone in the village knew that Gu Changbai was back. If he didn't show up at the banquet, others would definitely ask.
"On the third day! I'll ask Mingmo and the others to deliver the post tomorrow. Even my aunt's place is not far away. We can catch up and have a drink."
Father Gu nodded in agreement. Anyway, they didn't need to worry about hosting the banquet now. There were servants doing the shopping and the women in the village helping.
