Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 285 Conjecture
Just as Guo Shu thought, Master Duan really felt bad after hearing these words.

Duan Kun is his son after all.

At the same time, he also understood the meaning of Guo Shu's words. His son could indeed do such a thing, but it didn't mean that he would admit it.

"Just listening to you is too one-sided, why don't I ask Duan Kun when he comes back?"

Guo Shu was not surprised: "Uncle Duan said the same thing, let's wait for Cousin Duan to come back."

Guo Shu didn't come here today to ask for an explanation. To put it bluntly, he wanted to return to Jinghai County safely, and then let the Duan family better limit Duan Kun.

Master Duan heard this, but he took a look at Guo Shugao.

Master Duan called the butler in and asked him to find Duan Kun.

In fact, Master Duan knew that even if Duan Kun was called, they would not admit it, and Guo Shu also understood this.

After the butler left, Guo Shu said again: "My aunt said that Cousin Duan used to have some talent in reading."

Master Duan didn't know what to say after hearing this.

The reason why Duan Kun was known as such a young genius when he was a child was because it was related to the competition for favor in the backyard. Although this matter was clarified later, he didn't have the face to explain it.

Mrs. Guo had already married into the Guo family when Duan Kun spoke out, so she only heard the rumor, but since her natal family didn't see an explanation, she never knew about it.

Guo Shu didn't know that there was a "misunderstanding" in it, so he continued: "If Cousin Duan is willing to study hard, I think he can achieve something."

Master Duan didn't have the face to tell a junior about those things at home, so he was extremely embarrassed in his heart, but he had to maintain a normal face, saying: "I will urge him to study hard later."

Thinking about today's events, Guo Shu said again: "Today, a young master surnamed Luo came forward to rescue the younger generation. Although the younger generation has been in the capital for a while, he didn't know about it. Only today did he realize that there are so many noble people in the capital. You can meet them casually in restaurants. Alone, the guards around him are all so powerful."

Master Duan heard the important point.

But in the capital, I haven't heard that there is any son surnamed Luo who is more famous, not even a noble family surnamed Luo!

Master Duan: "Did you ask that person's surname Luo?"

"That son is dressed in extraordinary clothes, and he is surrounded by his younger siblings who are looking at you. Maybe his status is not ordinary, and he may not be sure if he didn't tell his real name."

Naturally, Guo Shu lied to Master Duan. For the time being, he couldn't imagine that Bobo might not have a surname of Luo. Saying this was just to make Master Duan nervous.

Master Duan thought about it in his heart, and when he thought about it, a thought flashed in his mind, which startled him.

Probably not!
With this thought in mind, he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

Master Duan was also somewhat puzzled: "That Mr. Luo knows you?"

Otherwise, others would not save a person for no reason.

Guo Shu felt that Uncle Duan was quite intelligent, otherwise he would not have thought of this.

Guo Shu thought for a while and said: "That Mr. Luo said that he once met me once."

Master Duan asked eagerly: "Did you meet in the capital or in Jinghai?"

Master Duan knew about it. Eldest Brother had been to Jinghai County, and the officials in the capital knew a lot about it.

Guo Shu saw that Mr. Duan's expression was wrong, could it be that Mr. Luo has some identity?
"In Jinghai County."

Master Duan felt more and more that his guess was right.

Master Duan thought so, and looked at Guo Shu with more eager eyes, which made Guo Shu feel very bad.

"Uncle Duan found something?"

Master Duan didn't dare to talk nonsense. After all, there was no shadow of this matter, but he was more and more sure of it in his heart.

Since he can get the attention of the big brother, even if it is possible, it is enough for Mr. Duan to be excited. He really wants to marry his daughter to Guo Shu this time. If it is true, then he will make a lot of money. If it is false, She's just a daughter, and besides, this Guo Shu doesn't look like a mediocre person.

But on his son's side, he had to give an attitude.

Then Master Duan became more and more kind to Guo Shu. Guo Shu felt that something was wrong, but for some reason, he could only accept Master Duan's "kindness".

It didn't take long for Duan Kun to be found by the butler. After all, he was the butler of the Duan family, and he knew a little about the temperament of the mansion. The butler sent people to search for several places, and found them not long after.

"Master, the young master has been found."

Master Duan obviously didn't want to see Duan Kun's son because he had guessed in his heart.

So the tone was a little angry: "Let him in."

What Duan Kun was most afraid of was his father. He was raised and abandoned in the back house, so part of his thinking followed the back house. His mother wanted him to please his father. He was used to wooing him, so naturally there was fear in his bones.

"Father...Father..."

Duan Kun was about to call his father when he saw Guo Shu.

"Why are you here?"

Guo Shu said, "Cousin Duan is surprised?"

"Father, why is he here?"

Master Duan looked at his incompetent son, compared with Guo Shu, the gap was obvious, and he was upset.

So the tone was quite impatient: "What do you think? Guo Shu is your cousin, a relative of our Duan family."

Duan Kun didn't dare to refute, but whispered: "I don't recognize this relative."

Although Master Duan didn't hear what he said clearly, he also knew that it would not be a good word.

"What are you mumbling about?"

"Father, my son didn't say anything."

Master Duan looked at Duan Kun and said, "Where did you go fooling around today? I don't know how to make progress all day long."

"No son." Duan Kun said this with a guilty conscience.

"Okay, you don't want to go out of the house a few years ago. When will you know that you have learned well before you come back."

Master Duan saw his son like this, and he didn't care whether Duan Kun blocked Guo Shu or not. Since he is optimistic about Guo Shu, then this matter must be settled.

"Father, what do you mean by that?"

"It means that without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the house."

Duan Kun couldn't believe it.

"father……"

"Okay, it's no use calling Dad."

Duan Kun was unwilling to be taken down. When he left, he looked at Guo Shu with hatred in his eyes. Guo Shu was in the study. His father must have complained to him for treating him like this.

"Nephew, what do you think of Uncle's approach?"

Guo Shudao: "Uncle Duan has a kind father's heart for the sake of Cousin Duan, which is really rare."

Master Duan said with a smile: "I will stay for dinner today, but when will you decide to go back?"

"Thank you Uncle Duan for your hospitality. This junior has already set a date for the return trip."

"Alright, when you go back, uncle will send someone to take you back, and save everyone on the way to take care of you."

Guo Shu naturally had no objection, this is what he wanted.

"Thank you, Uncle, for your kindness."

Guo Shu was left to eat, Duan Kun was grounded, Mrs. Duan didn't know the reason, so Guo Shu had a comfortable meal.

After Guo Shu left, Mrs. Duan knew the reason why her son was grounded.

Then she started to quit, and ran to Master Duan to cry.

"Master, madam please see me."

Master Duan naturally knew why she came.

"not see."

The two words are extremely ruthless.

As soon as Mrs. Duan heard that he was missing, she immediately raised a fuss.

Shouted at the door of the study: "Master, Kun'er is still a child, why did you ground him for no reason..."

Mrs. Duan has the potential of a shrew. Anyway, Master Duan wanted to beat someone up after hearing this, but fortunately he held back.

Seeing her like this, Master Duan originally wanted to be sent back, but after all, she is the matriarch of the family, plus she is the first wife, how could she give her some face.

"Let her come in and talk."

Mrs. Duan entered the study.

"Master, what did Kun'er do? It's almost Chinese New Year, and you want to punish him like this."

Master Duan looked at her pretending to be stupid: "You should know what he did."

Madam Duan also knew that she couldn't pretend, so she said, "Master, is it worth it for an outsider?"

Master Duan said: "He was planning to kill him. That child Guo Shu is a good one. Besides, the Guo family is my sister's husband's family. If Kun'er killed her husband's nephew like this, my sister will be in a bad situation." How, have you thought about it?"
