“Mom, it is me!” Gu Yunhe’s voice arose.
He had opened the door, but he had no idea that he had just startled Mrs. Gu, so he just walked in with a look of indifference. He did not close the door either.
Mrs. Gu truly found her son annoying at that moment, but she did not snap at him since he was her son, after all. Her suspended heart was finally unloaded.
“Close the door, Lianxiang!” Mrs. Gu shouted.
Lianxiang instantly closed the door.
Quiet dominated the whole room.
Gu Yunhe poured himself a cup of tea and saw that his mother was too anxious. He said nonchalantly, “Mom, what are you doing? You are the owner of the yard and they would never dare to spill out your secret if they want to keep their family alive. You are not cruel enough to threaten them!”
He poured himself a cup of tea in satisfaction. Though the fact that he had to serve himself was very annoying.
Mrs. Gu frowned. She sighed.
Before she was able to figure out what she should do with Ruxue, Yunhe was here messing things up. Now he was a man with a job, and he should not be so straightforward. He would face setbacks if he kept doing this!
She did not like it when Madame Gu asked him to join the army at Jiayu Pass, but she was unable to fight against Madame Gu back then.
However, now this son of hers had wasted years at the army – he had learned nothing from the experience. What was he going to do working in the capital?!
Even if Mrs. Gu did not want to blame her son for anything, she had to warn him at the moment. “Yunhe, nothing is as simple as you assume.”
“You are cruel, but the cruelty only makes our men devoted. Yunhe, there are more than our men in the mansion. You are a straightforward man, but not everyone is as straightforward as you.”
“Especially when we are in a different position now. People have their eyes upon us. Also, we have offended other people before, and they may have sent moles into our place. We are not even sure which ones are the mole.” Mrs. Gu reminded him.
She had no idea that Yunhe would have been so simple-minded.
The Gu Mansion would be done for, if he became the master!
She started to blame Madame Gu again.
“It is Madame Gu’s fault. She made you waste so much time in the army! If a strategist could have taught you when you were little, everything would go much easier.” Mrs. Gu said. “I have found you a strategist. He is a wonderful man, you have to make use of him.”
Hearing what Mrs. Gu said, Gu Yunhe had a look of realization.
He had never thought about this before – he was so careless. No wonder he never succeeded in his work! His devoted men might have not been that devoted to him after all.
“Madame Gu was causing me trouble! I would have been hurt by her again, if she were not paralyzed now,” Gu Yunhe said with a fortunate tone. It was his mother who was in charge now, luckily.
Now when Gu Yunhe understood the point, Mrs. Gu would not say anything more.
With eyes upon Gu Yunhe, she asked in confusion. “What are you doing here, rather than keeping the Lord company in the front yard?”
