Lady Gu touched the Imperial edict in his hand. Her eyes were full of greed, and her round and chubby face was full of smiling wrinkles.
Su Qiao looked at Gu Lingyu and smiled gently. “Husband, you’ve been working hard recently. Now you can have a good rest for a while.”
Gu Lingyu said proudly, “I’m very busy. I’ve just obtained the military power of Guang Pingwang, there are still many things that I need to deal with.”
Lady Gu’s expression turned cold. “What does a woman like you know? You want to meddle in everything. Why don’t you see if you have the ability? My son is so capable, why did he marry a useless daughter-in-law like you?”
Su Qiao’s eyes turned red from Lady Gu’s sarcasm. “I’m just worried about Lingyu’s health.”
Lady Gu could not bear to see her like this. “Why are you crying all day as if the Gu Family has mistreated you? Why don’t you take a look about what day it is today, why are you still crying?”
Lady Gu had felt that she had been tricked when she first saw Su Qiao’s dowry back then.
Such a woman could not help her son in terms of power and money, so what was the point of marrying her.
Su Qiao looked at Gu Lingyu with weak and pitiful eyes, and Gu Lingyu’s chauvinistic heart began to rise.
He said, “Mom, don’t talk to Qiao Qiao like that. She didn’t do it on purpose.”
Lady Gu frowned and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gu Lingyu.
Gu Lingyu removed Su Qiao’s hand and personally supported Lady Gu. “Okay, Mom, let’s go in quickly. It’s time for lunch.”
The entire family had gone in, leaving only Su Qiao standing at the door.
Her face was extremely dark.
After a while, she regained her gentle expression and smiled as she entered the house.
…
With the Imperial edict in his hand, Gu Lingyu was filled with excitement. He could not wait any longer and was about to go to the Guang Pingwang Residence to ask for the military power.
An Yi had already received a tip-off from the Imperial Court.
Everything that had happened in the Imperial Court today had been passed on to Gu Ruoyun.
Gu Ruoyun smiled and said to An Yi, “Get Ready, a guest is coming to the Imperial Residence.”
An Yi did not understand what was going on. Not long after, he heard a report from the guard.
“Head steward, the young master of the Gu Family, Gu Lingyu, has arrived. He says that he has an Imperial edict to announce.”
An Yi nodded and turned to enter the house. He looked at Gu Ruoyun.
Gu Ruoyun’s expression was unreadable as he said, “Since he’s here, of course we have to welcome the guest.”
An Yi received the order and left.
Gu Ruoyun was not worried about the situation outside at all. He slowly sipped the tea in his hand.
Gu Lingyu proudly walked into the Guang Pingwang residence and looked around at the surroundings of the Imperial Residence.
He had come to the Imperial Residence quite often. After all, his parents had used him to get close to the Imperial Residence in the past.
In the past, every time he came, he always lowered his head and did not dare to look around.
Now, Gu Lingyu had achieved his ambition and felt that the entire Imperial Residence belonged to him.
An Yi could clearly feel the change in Gu Lingyu, he remained expressionless.
Gu Lingyu looked at An Yi’s expressionless face and felt a sense of inferiority surge up again in his heart.
His expression immediately darkened and he scolded angrily, “You, a servant, dare to look at me like that?”
An Yi looked at Gu Lingyu and said, “I didn’t mean to be disrespectful.”
Gu Lingyu thought for a moment and could not catch his mistake. However, what he said just now made Gu Lingyu smile smugly.
“What right do you have as a lowly person to address yourself as “I” in front of me?”
An Yi looked at Gu Lingyu’s face and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
This gaze scared Gu Lingyu so much that he could not help but take a step back. What followed was a strong sense of anger.
Yu Yuan rushed over from afar. He cupped his hands towards Gu Lingyu and said, “I am Yu Yuan. May I know why Young Master Gu is here today?”
Gu Lingyu glared at An Yi, feeling indignant in his heart.
When he saw Yu Yuan interjecting, he raised his head arrogantly. “Who do you think you are? What right do you have to talk to me?”
