I want to make progress

Chapter 80 Stubborn
"Think about it for yourself!"

If it was someone else, Gu Changheng would not care, but it was Gu Changting. There was nothing he could do. No matter how much he wanted to say, he could only swallow it back into his stomach. He said something that he thought was for her own good and left in a hurry.

Shu Yunfu waited until the person disappeared before she unscrupulously curled her lips and rolled her eyes in an unladylike manner. She couldn't help but complain to Yuyan, "I've never seen someone who doesn't understand what others say. He doesn't think I'm just talking, does he? Are all men so confident?"

"Uh...I guess you overacted before, Miss."

Yuyan was also speechless. The Second Master had determined that the Young Lady was crazy about him, and even at this moment she was just throwing a tantrum. He was indeed a bit too confident, but the Young Lady also acted too well.

“Isn’t that a character requirement?”

She raised her chin proudly. It seemed that her acting skills were pretty good. "But you don't have to act affectionately in front of his stupid face anymore. I can vomit in front of him right there."

"Go and tell Su Niang to stop dawdling and get started."

Her eyes darkened. What happened yesterday could not happen again. Yesterday, that bastard broke into her yard and refused to leave. She had no way to deal with it.

At that moment she knew that she could no longer maintain that kind of personality. Her public identity made it impossible for her to refuse. It was too dangerous.

If Gu Changting hadn't sent someone to call them away just now, who knows what kind of trouble would have happened. It seems that this bastard Gu Changheng is too idle, and Gu Yutong must hurry up.

During this period, Lady Su was under house arrest and could not get along with Gu Changheng, and Gu Changheng was depressed because he was dismissed from his official position. Now is a good opportunity for her to take advantage of the situation. If she doesn't act now, when will she act?

"Yes!"

Yuyan nodded vigorously, her eyes determined that she would never let anyone hurt the young lady!

While Shu Yunfu was trying to find ways to keep people away from her, Gu Changting was also not idle. Thinking that there was another man lying in his woman's bed, he was still very unhappy, even though nothing had happened and even though it was perfectly legitimate.

After returning to his own courtyard, he asked someone to keep an eye on Yizhuxuan. He did not sit still until noon when he realized that no one had left yet, so he immediately sent someone to call Gu Changheng over.

"I heard from the servants that you have been drunk recently, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming every day, but are you blaming me in your heart?"

In the study, Gu Changting used the fine wolf-hair brush in his hand to write on the rice paper. The soft tip of the brush outlined one big character after another. The iron pen had a silver hook and the brush tip was sharp. Practicing calligraphy can calm the mind.

"Ah……"

Although Gu Changheng came obediently, his dissatisfaction was already on the surface. "How dare I blame the dignified Duke of England? He is just a low-ranking official. It's gone, so it's gone. Anyway, I can't be better than my elder brother even if I work hard all my life. Just one sentence can make all my efforts go to waste."

"You are full of resentment. It seems you still haven't thought it through clearly."

After writing the last stroke, Gu Changting looked up at his younger brother. The last glimmer of hope in his heart disappeared in the depths of his eyes. Until this moment, he still hadn't realized his mistake. It seemed that he wouldn't need to waste his energy on him in the future.

"If it weren't for your arrangement, how could Concubine Su sneak out of the palace without a sound? As an official, she doesn't make decisions for the people, doesn't share the worries of the court and the emperor, and only uses power to satisfy her own selfish desires. If the emperor knows about this, my Duke Ying's Mansion will be blamed."

"In that case, rather than letting you do something that would bring trouble to the family, it is better to make you powerless. Even if you want to do something, you will be powerless." "I thought you would understand after my punishment this time, but now I know that you are as stupid as ever after hearing what you said."

"What exactly do you want to say, brother?"

After being rebuked mercilessly, Gu Changheng became furious, his body full of anger and eyes full of humiliation, "Did you call me here just to listen to your teachings?"

Seeing his expression, Gu Changting shook his head. "I originally thought that as long as you admit your mistakes and repent, there would naturally be a way to reinstate you. But seeing that you are unrepentant and only want to get drunk when encountering problems, you are simply not qualified to take on such a big responsibility."

"Go back. When you have figured it out and know what you should and shouldn't do, come see me again."

I originally wanted to find him something to do and earn some merit so that he could return to the court in the future and stop being so decadent and drunk. But now it seems that it is better for him to be idle. Otherwise, if he holds power, I really don't know what stupid things he will do for Concubine Su.

When he woke up, he was confronted with Shu Yunfu's cold words and was scolded by Gu Changting, the big brother who was above him. He was already feeling unwell after the hangover, and now these unhappy things happened one after another. His mood was really terrible.

After leaving the study, he was no longer willing to stay in the Duke's Mansion, so he left the mansion with a gloomy face.

Seeing this, Qingshi had a bitter face. He didn't care about the dull pain in his body and hurriedly followed his master. He thought, "He's not going out to drink again. He almost got into trouble yesterday when he was drunk. He just told Aunt Shu that he wouldn't do that again, but he forgot what he said as soon as he turned around."

"Second Master, let's not drink today, okay? Drinking is bad for your health, you have to take care of yourself!"

Not daring to mention what happened yesterday, Qingshi implicitly advised that if he got drunk outside and said something he shouldn't have, then everything would be over!
"understood!"

It was obvious that Gu Changheng understood Qingshi's worries, and his expression became even uglier. "I was just feeling upset, so I just wandered around."

"Is there anything interesting happening in the capital recently?"

He shook his head, not wanting to think about those bad things. Without the burden of an official position, he was happy to be free and carefree.

"This...Mr. Meng San of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion had his leg broken?"

The Second Master was drunk yesterday, and he heard about this from the servants of Yizhuxuan last night. The news was indeed scary.

"Hmm! What happened?"

I just asked casually, as there are so many things happening in the capital every day, and I just wanted to divert attention. I didn't expect to hear such explosive news. That was the third son of the Duke of Protectorate, Mr. Meng. Who was so bold as to ask this?

Qingshi didn't think there was anything wrong with his second master's reaction. After all, when he first found out about it, he was so surprised that his eyes almost fell out. That was the infamous Third Master Meng of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. He had been arrogant in the capital for so many years and no one could do anything to him.

It’s not that no one wanted to intervene before, but he had the protection of the people from the Duke of Protectorate’s Mansion in the court, and the empress dowager protected him outside the court, so Meng Xichen became a big cancer in the capital. Many people disliked him, but couldn’t get rid of him.
