Gu Qingheng laughed, "Yeah, itâs like slicing with a dull knife." As he spoke, he turned to glance at Yang Ruxin, "Weâve waited for so many years, I donât mind waiting a bit longer."
Yang Ruxin smiled, knowing that you always have to pay your dues eventually. Gu Family, the seeds you planted back then have finally borne fruit. Hope you all enjoy the taste of it.
"Letâs go." Gu Qingheng lowered the carriage curtain.
"Did you have someone send a message to Beijing?" Yang Ruxin smirked mischievously, "I wonder if Chief of Staff Gu will be so furious when he gets the news that heâll have a stroke?"
"Hehe, weâll find out in a few days." Gu Qingheng reached over to pull Yang Ruxin into his embrace, "From now on, you just need to give the orders. You donât need to worry about how itâs done or the aftermath when itâs done."
"Got it." Yang Ruxin patted Gu Qinghengâs thigh, "Then from now on, our husband and wife team will divide the labor to make sure the Gu Family is caught between life and death." In the future, if Master develops a new drug, thereâs no need to test it on stray cats, dogs, or miceâjust send it to the Gu Family and let Gu Kun and Gu Sheng be the test subjects.
Shu Family.
Shu Xing sat in the hall with a serious face, and everyone around him was holding their breath.
"Whatâs going on?" As soon as Yang Ruxin walked in, she sensed the different atmosphere. Dao Xuzi had already disappeared.
Gu Qingheng shook his head.
"Uncle, Aunt." Shu Yang ran out on his little legs.
Gu Qingheng bent down to pick up the little guy into his arms.
"Uncle, Aunt, Grandpa is angry, you better be careful." Shu Yang said in a childish voice, squeezing in between the two, "Everyone in the family is walking on eggshells."
"Quite the vocabulary for a little thing." Yang Ruxin flicked Shu Yangâs forehead, "But do you know why your grandpa is angry?"
Shu Yang shook his head, "No idea."
Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng exchanged a glance and decided to head straight back to Manzhi Garden to avoid sparking Grandpaâs temper.
"Young Master, Young Mistress, the old master wants to see you in the front hall." Just then, the butler came over and picked up little Shu Yang.
The couple realized there was no escaping this and braced themselves to go over.
"Is the drug administered?" Shu Xing raised his eyes the moment they stepped in.
Yang Ruxin glanced at Gu Qingheng, swallowed hard, and nodded, "Yes."
"Was it successful?" Shu Xingâs eyebrows furrowed.
Yang Ruxin continued to nod, "It was quite intense. People were discussing it heatedly when we returned."
"Do they know it was you?"
Yang Ruxin shook her head, "We didnât show up."
Bang! Shu Xing suddenly slammed the table, making the teapot on it jump.
Yang Ruxin was startled and instinctively took two steps back.
"Grandpa, it was my idea." Gu Qingheng suddenly kneeled, "If youâre angry, then..."
"Good, hahaha." Shu Xing suddenly shouted and then started laughing.
Gu Qinghengâs unfinished words got stuck in his throat.
Yang Ruxin was also taken aback for a moment.
"Get up." Shu Xing, after having a good laugh, saw his grandson kneeling and hurriedly motioned him to stand, "Who told you to kneel?"
"Grandpa, youâre not angry?" Gu Qingheng scratched his head.
"Why would I be angry?" Shu Xing widened his eyes, "I was worried, worried about what if it fails, what if..."
"I say, old man, youâre worrying for nothing." Dao Xuzi, who had disappeared earlier, strolled in with his hands behind his back, followed by Ming Guang, "With us in action, when have we ever failed?"
