Chapter 2226: Chapter 2226: Nasty Scheme (Part 4)
"Grandfather, you’re still the wisest." Yang Ruxin gave a thumbs up.
"Of course." Shu Xing laughed and led the way out.
"Cousin-in-law?" Shu Luo stuck to Yang Ruxin like glue.
"Alright, I’ll tell you." Yang Ruxin leaned closer to Shu Luo and whispered something.
"Oh my, that’s ruthless?" Shu Luo jumped two steps back.
"Don’t shout ’oh my’, be careful Aunt Second will slap you." Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes at him, "Besides, do you call that ruthless?"
"No." Shu Luo quickly shook his head, "I misspoke. Against that family, it’s too merciful." In the future, he’d definitely have to work harder to please this cousin-in-law; if she disagrees, she might resort to poison, and once poisoned, the victim becomes impotent — such skills... impressive!
"Originally, this trip to the Shu Region wasn’t meant to clash with those at the Gu Family’s old residence, but since the old geezer came to irk us in person, if we don’t send a little gift in return, they’d really think our family is easy to bully."
"That’s right. But our family is all about refinement, we can’t just shout about fights and killings." Shu Luo nodded vigorously, "Otherwise, I’d have led people over to fight them a long time ago."
"So, we’ll do something refined too." Yang Ruxin laughed, reaching out to take out a bottle, "This is something my master kept at the bottom of the trunk, but it’s really a bit of a waste to use it on those two scoundrels."
"What’s it?" Shu Luo’s eyes lit up.
"Do you want to try it?" Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Forget it." Shu Luo quickly leaned his body away, shaking his hands vigorously, "Just tell me."
"Hehe." Yang Ruxin laughed, no longer teasing him, "You know back in the day, Gu Sheng spoiled the concubine and disregarded his wife, and that concubine flirted around. So if now Gu Kun also gets seduced by that concubine who hasn’t died, what do you think will happen?" Although the voice was lowered, the people walking around still heard it.
Everyone couldn’t help but twitch their mouths; this idea was really devious, but if executed well, it could truly vent their anger.
"Brilliant!" Shu Luo looked full of admiration.
"I have to confirm, that Zou Qiuyue isn’t dead, right?" Yang Ruxin suddenly remembered something.
"Not dead. They said she was ill and sent her back." Shu Luo shook his head.
"Since she’s not dead and still at the Gu Family, it makes things easier." Yang Ruxin smiled, "We’ll handle this tonight." After a pause, "If the Gu Family’s old master, worried about the Gu Family’s lineage being cut off, couldn’t hold back and got involved with his son’s wife, if this gets out, or if someone catches them in the act, do you think it would cause an uproar?"
"Absolutely." Shu Jingzhi couldn’t help but join in, "Not only an uproar, but a major one."
"Although Xinxin’s approach is somewhat..." Shu Tongzhi coughed, "if handled well, even Gu Sheng’s official position might be destabilized."
"With so many benefits, let’s do it." Shu Luo chuckled.
Shu Xing, in front, pretended not to hear. Although... the means are not presentable, it all depends on whom they’re used against. The people of the Gu Family are no good, no method is too excessive.
Yucheng.
The Gu Family’s butler, Huang Ke, booked an upper room in a rather remote inn, giving five taels of silver, but no one checked in even after dinner.
The innkeeper didn’t mind, since the room had been paid for, whether they came or not was up to them.
