Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 176 A Misunderstanding

"Everyone, it's a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding. I really didn't expect this son to be Gu Shangshu's cousin. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have dared to touch a single hair of him with all my courage!"

Fan Fushang arched his hands, and repeatedly accused all parties who came to ask for help, the sweat on his forehead was so nervous: "Xiaomin originally saw a scholar named Cheng Yan, but my eyes didn't look right. Alright, I mistakenly recognized the wrong person and brought Mr. Gu back by mistake, I really didn't mean it!"

Hearing these words, Cheng Yan, who was standing among the crowd, suddenly darkened his eyes, and before he could speak, he heard Gu Yunji's angry voice: "What are you talking about? What do you mean by admitting the wrong person? According to what you mean, If I am not the nephew of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, should I be kidnapped by you?"

"Fortunately, you admitted it wrong. If you admitted it correctly, Cheng Yan might have been forced by you to get married!" Gu Yunji rubbed his wrist that was hurt by the rope, and said angrily, "It doesn't matter who you originally set your eyes on. You shouldn't have tied someone back like this, there's no such thing as arresting a son-in-law under the list!"

Fan Fushang's legs were weak, he didn't dare to refute a word, he bowed his head submissively: "Yes, yes, Xiaomin knows his mistake! Xiaomin knows his mistake!"

The official eyes of the Shuntian government office said in a deep voice: "Since you know your mistake, then come with us. Although the custom of catching a son-in-law under the list has a long history, your methods are indeed extreme. Since you are a first-time offender, let's go Punish you for the crime of nuisance. You will be exempted from hitting the board, and you will be temporarily sentenced to one month in custody."

As he said that, he looked at Gu Yunxiao and Cheng Yan, who reported the case, and asked, "How do you two feel about this punishment?"

Seeing the red mark on Gu Yunji's wrist, Cheng Yan paused, and said, "Look at Yunji's meaning, if he thinks this is okay, we naturally have nothing to say."

Receiving the sights of inquiries coming from all around, Gu Yunji exhaled lightly, nodded and said: "That's it, let him be imprisoned for a month, and it will be a lesson for him."

Although Fan Fushang's behavior today is very offensive and outrageous, but in all fairness, he really only has the purpose of recruiting a son-in-law, he didn't make any big mistakes, and a small punishment is enough. This kind of punishment is enough.

Seeing that everyone seemed to have agreed, Fan Fushang's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly flattered him: "Master, this is a misunderstanding, shouldn't you be sent to jail? Besides, I didn't care about Mr. Gu, whether you can be accommodating or not. Lighten it up and change the detention to a fine?"

"You think this is a business, and you can still bargain?" The official raised his eyebrows and stared at him, "It is good that you are not punished for the crime of plundering good people, what else do you want? If not Mr. Gu is safe and sound now, do you think your head can stay on your neck safely?"

Fan Fushang shrank his neck in fear, dared not speak out to intercede, and followed the officials honestly.

Now that the matter has been resolved, the people sent by Gu Yuanhui and Pingyang County Prince's Mansion got up and said goodbye one after another, and went back to report to Gu Yuanhui and Gu Mingxuan.

The others left one after another, and only Gu Yunxiao, Cheng Yan, Xu Chengyu and Xu Dong were left beside them. Only then did Gu Yunji relax completely, and told the whole story from beginning to end.

Gu Yunxiao's eyes widened as he heard this, and he couldn't believe it: "...So, the rich businessman originally set his sights on Cheng Yan, but his eyes were not good, and he only remembered that Cheng Yan didn't bring a servant and was wearing blue clothes After Xu Dong and I went to the doctor, you took off your coat and gave Bai Xingjia a head pad, but when he saw you wearing a blue coat, he thought you were Cheng Yan, so he tied you back?"

Gu Yunji nodded slowly, and sighed helplessly: "That's right, that's what happened."

Gu Yunxiao's expression was indescribable, and he didn't know what to say for a while: "This is really a coincidence, you happen to be similar to Cheng Yan, you just happen to be wearing a blue jacket, and it just so happens that the rich businessman has bad eyesight... so It’s just right, but if it’s close enough, it’s impossible to cause today’s oolong.”

At this time, it had only been more than an hour since Gu Yunji was tied up, and the speed with which Gu Yunxiao and the others found him could not be called unhappy. Gu Yunji was curious, and asked: "Speaking of which, I was in a daze at the time, and I didn't know what happened. , how did you find me?"

Cheng Yan said: "Actually, it was the message left by the rich businessman himself. When he kidnapped you, he even sprinkled wedding candy on the passers-by around, saying that it was the married daughter of Fan Mansion in Beicheng District. We guessed that the person was probably a rich businessman surnamed Fan, so we I went to the Yamen to transfer the registration case, and then found his residence."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yan couldn't laugh or cry: "Although he is tantamount to self-declaring his family background, if he didn't say that he is the son-in-law under the list, passers-by would not just watch you being taken away, or they would stop you anyway. of."

The half-day experience of the few people was simply ups and downs. Looking back at this moment, Xudong felt a little regretful, and joked: "I think the rich man's house is luxurious, and I think it has a lot of background. If he didn't recognize the wrong person, Cheng I'm afraid the young master has already become his son-in-law, what a pity for a good marriage."

When everyone was laughing, the corners of Cheng Yan's upturned lips froze imperceptibly, and the color of his eyes gradually darkened.

Sensing that Cheng Yan's mood was a little cold, Gu Yunji calmly changed the subject: "How is Bai Xingjia?"

Gu Yunxiao said: "He has woken up, but his body is still a little weak. The doctor prescribed some medicine for him, and he is resting in the hall now."

"That's good." Gu Yunji nodded, then looked at Xu Chengyu, "Teacher, I've been tired for a long time, would you like to have a meal with us?"

Xu Chengyu waved his hand: "I won't go, Shuhua is still waiting for news at home, if it takes a long time, I'm afraid she will worry, you go."

"...Okay. Then I'll go back to rest today, and I'll visit the teacher's house tomorrow." Mentioning Xu Shuhua, Gu Yunji wanted to go back with Xu Chengyu to meet her, but it's getting late now, and there is still another person in the guild hall. There were a lot of things to do, so I had to let it go.

In Xu's residence, upon seeing Xu Chengyu's return, Xu Shuhua, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, immediately went up to greet him: "What's the matter, Daddy? Is Mr. Gu okay? The capital is at the foot of the emperor, how could he be taken away by a strongman on the street? Who is it? audacious in the extreme?"

Xu Chengyu said in relief: "He's fine. In fact, there is no strong man. He is a reckless rich gentleman who sees Yunji in the first place and wants to tie him back to be his son-in-law. It was just a misunderstanding. After we passed, the rich gentleman released him on the spot. Man, Yun Ji has already gone back to the guild hall, he will come back tomorrow."

"What...to be a son-in-law?" Xu Shuhua thought about all kinds of possibilities, and even prepared himself for the worst, but he never thought that this was the reason.Hearing this, she was startled, and after the surprise flashed in her eyes, a little annoyance soon surfaced again.

She was worried about his safety here, and her whole body was in a hurry, but he was leisurely being someone else's son-in-law over there. It was really useless for her to worry about it for so long!

The handkerchief in his hand was unknowingly pulled into a ball, and Xu Shuhua's thin lips were pressed tightly together, almost gnawing his silver teeth into pieces.
