Chapter 83 I Beat the Prince, That's a Family Matter

King Wu looked puzzled, as if he was not sure whether the person on the ground was Shen Ling.

Lord Shen said with tears in his eyes: "In reply to Your Highness Prince Wu, it was my disappointing son Shen Ling."

His Royal Highness the King of Wu turned his head and said to Gu Nianping, "Master Gu, it's New Year's Day and you're whipping people in the street. Do you have any respect for the law?"

This was to directly accuse Gu Nianping of a crime. Gu Nianping bowed to His Royal Highness Prince Wu and said, "In reply to Your Royal Highness Prince Wu, I was asked by Lord Shen to discipline his useless son. It is said that a son-in-law is half a son. Prince Shen is the son-in-law of my Gu family. As my brother-in-law, if he did something wrong, even if I beat him, it is a family matter. Please understand, Your Royal Highness Prince Wu."

It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. Even if you are a prince, you have no right to interfere.

His Royal Highness Prince Wu's face looked a little ugly. He turned his head and looked at Lord Shen and said, "Lord Shen, what do you say? Don't worry, even people from the General's Mansion cannot trample on the king's law. As long as the Marquis' Mansion is truly wronged, I will definitely make the decision for the Marquis' Mansion."

Lord Shen was torn between his conscience and his desires in his mind. Gu Nianping did not say much, but just looked at him with a cold gaze. Lord Shen felt a chill on his neck.

What Gu Nianping had just said was still fresh in his mind. If it was really proven that the Gu family had rebellious intentions, then the Shen family, as their in-laws, would definitely not be able to escape.

"Thank you, Your Highness, the King of Wu. It is true that my child was naughty and did something wrong. I have indeed asked Master Gu to teach my child a lesson. I hope Your Highness, the King of Wu, will forgive me."

Gu Nianping was not surprised. Although Lord Shen did not have much ability, he was also a smart man. He knew that if Shen Ling's words were confirmed, it would be of no benefit to the Shen family. Then Shen Ling's plan to be treated in vain today would be in vain.

His Royal Highness Prince Wu did not expect Lord Shen to say such a cowardly thing. He glared at Lord Shen and said, "Lord Shen, think it over. If you say this is your request, then your son has been beaten for nothing! Look at how badly Shen Ling is injured. An Xin wants to kill Shen Ling."

Lord Shen had someone try it just now. Although Shen Ling fainted, his life was not in danger. He just wanted to take Shen Ling home for treatment as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, he simply bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness, King Wu. Please allow me to send Shen Ling back to have him treated."

After hearing what he said, His Royal Highness Prince Wu was left with no choice but to wave his hand and let him carry Shen Ling back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Gu Nianping bowed to His Royal Highness the King of Wu and said goodbye: "Your Highness the King of Wu, if there is nothing else, I will go back."

His Royal Highness Prince Wu was a little angry. He reached out and grabbed Gu Nianping's sleeve and said, "Master Gu, I'm already at your door. Why don't you invite me into your house for a cup of tea?"

Gu Nianping didn't give him any face at all: "I'm sorry, Your Highness Prince Wu, the Gu family has a family motto that we don't associate with the prince. Please forgive me, Your Highness Prince Wu."

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu was rejected by Gu Nianping in person, and he hated the Gu family in his heart: "Master Gu, if I remember correctly, my third brother, the Prince of Qi, often came to your Gu family."

Gu Nianping waved his hand: "Your Highness Prince Wu, you can't say that. What you are talking about happened more than ten years ago. At that time, Your Highness Prince Qi was only a three-year-old child, not an adult prince."

"Your Highness, Prince Wu, in order not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, please go back."

Gu Nianping has said so much, there is no way His Royal Highness Prince Wu can stay any longer. If he insists on making friends with the Gu family, then he has ulterior motives, and the emperor will never allow it.

When Gu Nianping entered the mansion, Gu Nianchu and her aunts and sisters-in-law gave him a thumbs up.

They had just been hiding behind the door and watched Gu Nianping beat Shen Ling severely.

"Husband, well done!"

Liu went over to greet Gu Nianping with great enthusiasm: "We want to let the outsiders see what will happen to Shen Ling if he dares to bully our daughter." Gu Nianchu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister-in-law, are you really not afraid that Shuang Jie'er and the others' marriage will be affected in the future? If this happens, who will dare to come to propose marriage in the future?"

Liu said disdainfully, "It's just right that they don't dare to come and propose marriage. I just have a reason to keep my sister Shuang by my side. We in the Gu family can still afford to raise a daughter."

Madam Gu said angrily, "Don't be so reckless. You can only say such things now. Wait until Sister Shuang and her sisters are older. Then you will be worried about them."

Wang and Xie, the two sisters-in-law, said with a smile, "Mother, the eldest sister-in-law was just joking. She just wanted to praise the eldest brother for doing a great job."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "Boss, you did a great job today. It's really a relief that the old man from the Shen family had to suffer this loss."

"That's right, is Shen Ling crazy? Why did he say such brainless words in front of so many people?"

Mrs. Gu also found it strange. She had never heard that Shen Ling had any mental illness before.

Gu Nianchu smiled faintly: "Maybe he was influenced by his concubine. His goal is to make the Gu family bear the burden of disloyalty. But he forgot that he is still connected to the Gu family. If the Gu family is in trouble, he, the son-in-law of the Gu family, will not be able to escape."

Gu Nianping nodded: "Today, His Royal Highness Prince Wu came just in time. I think he had discussed it with Shen Ling. But he didn't expect that I would beat Shen Ling to death. The Shen family's affairs were left to Lord Shen."

If Shen Ling insisted that he wanted to sever all ties with the Gu family and kill his relatives for the sake of justice, he could really get away with it by just divorcing Gu Nianchu.

It’s just a pity that Shen Ling never dreamed that he would actually be knocked unconscious by Gu Nianping.

He hadn't thought about fainting.

If Qingshan and Qingfeng had not shown up at the critical moment, Gu Nianping would not have been able to make Shen Ling faint.

When Gu Nianchu heard her elder brother's words, she smiled. She knew where the two guards with great martial arts skills had gone. They were naturally taken away by the people Zhou Yuchen gave her.

"Brother, let's not talk about that unlucky thing during the New Year."

Gu Nianchu said softly to Gu Nianping, and Gu Nianping nodded: "Yes, let's not talk about that annoying thing."

This is great for the New Year.

Gu Nianchu brought a lot of things back home. She took them out one by one to show her family. The Gu family members scolded her, "Chu'er, why did you prepare so many gifts for the family? Your life is not easy now."

Gu Nianchu smiled: "Mother, my life is better now. I am the richest person in the Marquis' Mansion. Besides, I am now the wife of the Marquis's son. When I go back to my parents' home, I will naturally ask the Marquis' Mansion to prepare gifts for me."

"Does the Marquis' Mansion still have money?"

The Gu family was a little surprised: "Didn't they say that they already rely on borrowing money to make a living?"

Gu Nianchu smiled: "What does that have to do with me?"
