Concubine enchanting: mistakenly provoked the mad prince

Chapter 77
"It's you! You unfilial son!" Gu Yuancheng slapped Gu Changge on the face.Gu Changge felt a burning pain on his right cheek.She didn't dodge, didn't cry out in pain, and didn't kneel down to beg for mercy.

She was not wrong about this.

"Daddy! Don't blame Sixth Sister!" Gu Jingrou stepped forward to hold Gu Yuancheng.

"That's right! At that time, they were trapped in Tongcheng by Lu Yu, and the old lady died of illness suddenly, and she had no choice but to be cremated!" Mrs. Wan also came forward to explain for Gu Changge. "Master, I've already reprimanded Chang Ge. But Lu Yu is pressing them hard and won't let them go out of the city. There is really no other way to do this!"

"Then what is Lu Yu!"

"Daddy, Lu Yu is the governor of Tongcheng, that concubine of the fifth sister! He didn't drown, but turned into the governor of Tongcheng. Because Dad, you broke up him and Fifth Sister back then, and he held a grudge. Daddy, you and your younger brother were killed. When she was taken hostage, grandma heard the news and rushed to Yuecheng, but she was detained by Lu Yu in Tongcheng. Daddy, it was Lu Yu and Fifth Sister who killed grandma!"

Gu Minrong spoke angrily at the side, and she glanced at Gu Changge, full of provocation.

Gu Changge was startled.Every step in this Gu mansion is really frightening, everything needs to be careful.This time, Gu Jingrou and Gu Minrong seemed to be defending and explaining for her, but they dragged Gu Xiuning into the water.

Gu Changge rescued Gu Xiuning that day, everyone in the Gu family witnessed it, and pulling Gu Xiuning into the water meant dragging Gu Changge into the water with her.This is a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone!
Sure enough, as Gu Changge expected, Gu Yuancheng's anger did not dissipate after hearing this, but intensified. He waved Gu Jingrou away, rushed in front of Gu Changge, and raised his hand to slap him again.

"It's you! Did you see that! You saved that bitch, but she and her concubine came to deal with my Gu family!" Gu Yuancheng's accusations came like a storm.

"Master, you can't blame Changge. You can't blame Changge!" Mrs. Liu couldn't bear her daughter being wronged, and stepped forward to hug Gu Yuancheng's leg and begged repeatedly.

"Go away! What a good daughter you taught!" Gu Yuancheng kicked Liu Shi away and cursed in disgust.

"Mother!" Gu Changge stepped forward to help Liu Shi up, staring at Gu Yuancheng with hatred in his eyes.

"You, what look in your eyes!" Gu Yuancheng was trembling with anger.Inexplicably, he felt that these eyes were so similar to the eyes of the person in his memory, so similar that it made him terrified.

"How can I bear the evil fruit that father planted!"

"What did you say!"

"Am I wrong? Of course, if Daddy hadn't beaten Yuanyang with a stick to break up Fifth Sister and Lu Yu, may I ask, would we have been detained in Tongcheng by Lu Yu? Would we have ended up in such a state? The reason why grandma died in a foreign land was that she couldn't leave her whole body behind. Rest in peace, it's all because of the bad results you made! Daddy, don't accuse me of crimes!"

"you!"

"Changge, don't say any more!" Seeing that Gu Yuancheng was very angry, Mrs. Wan sternly stopped Gu Changge, but Gu Changge ignored her threat at all.

"Now that Daddy has returned safely, what about Anan? What about others? Why don't you see him come back with Daddy? Did Daddy leave Anan and escape alone!"

"What did you say! Say it again!" Gu Yuancheng's face turned pale with anger.

"What happened to the Gu family, Daddy didn't want to think about how to save my younger brother. Instead, he first questioned the teacher at Jiaxing, and asked if Daddy treats his younger brother as his son!" All this is just Gu Changge's guess.But she wanted to be close to her own guess.

The old lady of the Gu family passed away, and Gu Nan, as the eldest grandson, could not have appeared.Gu Changge saw only Gu Yuancheng kneeling in the ancestral hall, and Mrs. Wan's distressed and desperate appearance was clearly because Gu Nan did not come back together.

Mrs. Wan heard Gu Changge's repeated questioning, and finally covered her face and broke down and cried.This further confirmed Gu Changge's conjecture.Gu Yuancheng left Gu Nan behind and fled back by himself!

This profit-seeking man actually left his son behind and escaped by himself!
But Gu Changge's questioning silenced everyone present.Gu Yuancheng's pretentious majesty was torn off by Gu Changge, revealing his selfish and ugly side. Facing Gu Changge's questioning this time, he couldn't answer a single word other than becoming angry from embarrassment.

"Call me the shopkeepers of the major shops immediately!" Gu Yuancheng ordered in a sharp voice, and some servants went to work immediately.

Gu Yuancheng negotiated a condition with the other party, let him come back to raise funds, and kept Gu Nan as a hostage.

This night, Gu's house was brightly lit, there was a continuous stream of people coming and going, and the sound of planning abacus rang all night long.

"Does it hurt?" Liu rubbed the medicine on Gu Changge with distress.

Gu Changge shook his head, and Liu's tears fell at this moment.

"Changge, mother hopes that you can be as timid and fearful as before. At least I won't worry about you all day long. Although you are loved by Madam now, compared to before, I am really terrified."

"Yes, sister. I used to think that my mother and I would have a good life if you got madam's favor. But now it seems that since you have been favored by madam, troubles have been coming to your door. Look at what happened tonight, really It scared me and my mother to death." Gu Changwan patted her chest with lingering fear.

"I'm sorry, mother, Chang Wan, I made you worry."

"Changge, don't confront your father in the future, okay? If your father wants to punish you, just accept the punishment softly and don't argue with him. The more you don't know your mistakes, the more severely he will punish you. My mother's heart aches when she sees it." ah!"

"Mother, I know. I won't be so impulsive again in the future." Gu Changge said meekly, but he completely drew a line with Gu Yuancheng in his heart.

His two slaps were really cruel. He never regarded her as a daughter, but it was just a tool that could be thrown around in exchange for benefits, so she didn't need to regard him as her father and honor him. He is obedient.

The oath that Old Madam Gu made before her bed was destined to be broken.

From Liu's and Gu Changge's mouths, Gu Changge learned that Master Wan was also returning with Gu Yuancheng this time.But Master Wan is already dead.

Originally, Gu Yuancheng's wishful thinking was to rely on the relationship between this future in-law and the gang of thieves at sea to make a relationship with them, so that the sea trade would be unimpeded from then on.Unexpectedly, this time was a trap from the beginning.

This gang of pirates didn't know what was going on, but they stopped buying Master Wan's account and took Master Wan hostage.Master Wan was stabbed to death by the opponent while arguing with him.Seeing the tragic death of Master Wan, Gu Yuancheng was afraid that he would also be murdered, so he made a deal with the other party, leaving Gu Nan behind, and he came back to raise money in person.

Now that Gu Wan's family has funeral affairs, Gu Changge knows that her marriage with Wan Jun is impossible.And thinking of Wan Jun's dead father, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

The redness and swelling on Gu Changge's face did not subside until the next day, and she didn't care about it, and fed the fish leisurely in the garden with her injuries, like a normal person.

"Changge." Gu Changge turned around and saw that it was Gu Yuancheng, so he lazily collected the fish food, saluted Gu Yuancheng casually, then bowed his head and said nothing.

"Are you still angry with me?" Seeing the redness and swelling on Gu Changge's face, Gu Yuancheng looked away uncomfortably.He didn't dare to meet Gu Changge's eyes, as if Gu Changge's sharp eyes made him feel ashamed and embarrassed.

"What did the master say? How dare I be angry with you." Gu Changge also didn't want to shout out the word 'daddy'.

If you don't call him master, there is a difference between high and low, but you can feel at ease.

Maybe Liu Shi and Gu Changwan are right.She tried her best to climb up, but ended up with injuries all over her body. If she hadn't been the timid and fearful Gu Changge before, maybe life would be easier that way.

"I have business with you, follow me to the study." Gu Yuancheng ignored Gu Changge's sarcasm, and said lightly.

Gu Changge glanced at Gu Yuancheng, followed Gu Yuancheng to the study, met Gu Jingrou and Gu Minrong on the way, they were surprised, but because of Gu Yuancheng's presence, they didn't dare to ask, so they could only watch from afar.

"I heard Anan said that before you left, you told him not to lose his momentum when negotiating with the other party, but is it true?"

"It's true, I told Anan. Why, did the master and the young master go to jail because of me?"

"That's not true. This kid, Anan, behaved very well this time. If it weren't for him, we might have died on the first day we went to the island." Gu Yuancheng looked at Gu Changge while talking.

He had never realized that his daughter would have such a calm demeanor and keen insight.When he heard Gu Nan say that it was Gu Changge who suggested him, Gu Yuancheng was really surprised.When he came back this time, seeing Gu Changge again, he didn't know this daughter even more, and there was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

"I called you here to hear your opinion on this matter. The other party gave me three days to come back to raise gold, but last night I called all the shopkeepers of the shops in Yuecheng, and there is no way to mobilize them now. With so much gold, it is too late to mobilize from Jiangnan and other places. So I want to ask what you mean."

Heh, Gu Yuancheng really posed a problem for Gu Changge.

Gu Changge thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "I don't think paying the ransom is the solution to the problem. The only solution now is to join forces with the government to wipe them all out, so as to avoid future troubles forever."

"But the government has nothing to do with them. The court has sent countless people to encircle and suppress them all these years without success, and it's the same this time. Your brother is still in their hands, we can't act rashly!"

Unexpectedly, he was still thinking about Gu Nan's safety.She thought he didn't think that Gu Nan might die after he left!
"As far as I know, the reason why the imperial court's encirclement and suppression failed every time was because some pirates colluded and exchanged songs. Those pirates got the news and took precautions; in addition, the officers and soldiers didn't know where they were hiding, so they often rushed to nothing, so Pirates are so rampant. Since there is no way to raise so much gold in three days, why not think about how to plan and catch them all in these three days."
