Chapter 24: Anxious old Chinese doctor, why are you the one who got hurt again?
When Song Yu saw that everyone had left, he rushed over and burst into tears with heartache.
"Xiu'er, Xiu'er! Mom is here, are you okay?"
"mother!"
Gu Xiu cried with a sad face, wailing: "It hurts..."
Upon hearing this, Song Yu's face changed, and he roared, "Are you all deaf? The young master said it hurts, why don't you go get a doctor? Also, quickly carry the young master back to the house..."
When the servants heard this, they fell silent and hurriedly carried Gu Xiu to the backyard.
Soon, the doctor came hurriedly, the same doctor as before.
When the doctor saw Gu Xiu, his expression suddenly changed: "Third Young Master, why are you here again?"
"..."
Song Yu didn't know what to say when he heard this, so he could only say with a fierce face, "Why are you asking so many questions? Why don't you treat my son's injury quickly?"
"..."
The doctor looked at Gu Xiu with resentment. His pants were stained red and he looked like he had been beaten with a stick.
For a moment, the doctor didn't dare to ask more questions.
For this powerful family, being beaten with a stick happened frequently, so he was quite familiar with it.
He picked up the scissors in one hand and cut open Gu Xiu's clothes. Then he looked at the crisscrossing wounds and took out the medicine from the medicine box and sprinkled it evenly on his clothes.
Then he turned around and said, "Madam, the young master's injury can only stop the bleeding first. I will have to make some ointment for you to apply later!"
Song Yu nodded and asked, "Doctor, my son's injury..."
"Madam, don't worry. Although the injury is a bit serious, it's not a serious one. In less than two months, the young master will be able to walk around and be full of energy!"
"..."
Song Yu curled her lips and said, "Then I'll trouble you, doctor..."
She couldn't help with the treatment of the injury, and she had been feeling depressed about how things had developed to this point today.
Seeing that her son was fine, she rushed out to find Gu Heng impatiently.
At this time, Gu Heng was listening to what a servant-looking man was saying in the main hall. After a while, Gu Heng nodded silently.
"My Lord, I have finished what the Prime Minister has instructed me to do. I will take my leave now!"
The servant didn't know that Gu Heng had been demoted, and still addressed him as Marquis. Gu Heng didn't correct him, but just waved his sleeves. The servant bowed and prepared to leave.
When he reached the main hall door, he met Song Yu and immediately greeted him: "I greet the fourth lady..."
Song Yu asked in confusion, "Song Zhong? Why are you here?"
"It was your father who asked him to come! Come in and tell me what's going on!" Before Song Zhong could answer, Gu Heng, who was sitting in the room, responded first.
Song Yu glanced at Song Zhong, who bowed and then left the Gu family.
When he arrived at the main gate of the Gu family, he saw the Gu family's housekeeper, accompanied by a group of eunuchs, taking down the plaque on the gate. He was about to greet them, but he saw the eunuchs carrying a door plaque...
Song Zhong was immediately startled.
"Guiyuan Marquis's Mansion?"
Song Zhong was dumbfounded. Shouldn't this be Ninghou Mansion? Why was it changed to Guiyuanbo?
With the eunuch beside him, he dared not say anything or ask anything, and could only leave in a hurry!
……
In the uncle's house.
Song Yu looked at the silent Gu Xiu and said angrily, "Master, it must have been that beast Gu Jingzhi. He must have complained to His Majesty. He's your son, and he actually did something so outrageous!"
A marquis was demoted to an earl.
Her imperial edict is gone!
From now on, when he goes out and meets the wives of the powerful families in the capital, he will naturally be inferior to them. How can the arrogant Song Yu tolerate this?
The key point is that his son’s future is ruined.
He will be stripped of his official position and never employed again!
If Gu Xiu wanted to make a name for himself in the future, the path to imperial examinations would be completely blocked, and even the title of imperial concubine would be out of the question. He could only learn from those soldiers and fight with swords and knives.
But does Gu Xiu have such ability?
No need to ask.
When Gu Heng heard what Song Yu said, he felt unhappy. The good Ning Hou had become Guiyuan Bo!
It's so fucking ugly.
He didn't know that the title was changed after the middle-aged eunuch mentioned it to the emperor.
"Ugh!"
Gu Heng sighed softly and said, "Your father just asked Song Zhong to come here to talk about this matter. This morning, the internal guards reported the matter between Xiu'er and that beast to His Majesty..."
"Inner guard?"
Song Yu's expression changed. "That beast and Xiu'er's rank are not even qualified to attend the court. Why would the inner guards pay attention to this matter?"
"Do you still think that the beast is just a matter of rank?"
Gu Heng rolled his eyes, looked at his woman unhappily, and said, "Song Zhong just said that if you continue to talk about your father's identity outside, he will clean up the mess!"
"what!"
Song Yu sat up in shock and said angrily, "How is this possible? How could my father say such a thing?"
"..."
Gu Heng suddenly felt a headache.
Speaking of this woman in my family, she seems to be smart normally, but why does she like to pretend when she is outside?
She kept saying, "Her father is the prime minister, the head of all officials..."
The entire powerful circle in Beijing knows about this, so why do they emphasize it every day?
Now, his title has been demoted and his name has been taken away, and his son will never be able to serve as an official in the court.
Gu Heng waved his sleeves with a bit of melancholy: "This is the only way to go for now! You and Xiu'er should just stay in the mansion and be quiet for the next few days. Don't pay attention to that beast for now. Once he gets the position of secretary, there are plenty of ways to deal with him!"
Song Pu’s meaning is very simple.
Gu Jingzhi's favor remains undiminished, and dealing with him now would be tantamount to slapping the emperor in the face.
But he couldn't just hang on to the position of secretary for the rest of his life, could he? As long as he got promoted, he would be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel.
It will be so easy to deal with him when the time comes.
Song Yu heard this, but was unwilling to accept it.
"Master, we've suffered such a huge loss, are we really going to let that little bastard take advantage of us?"
"Then what do you want to do?"
Gu Heng said impatiently, "The Hanlin Academy is just a place for copying and writing. There's nothing wrong with it. Do you think your father is allowed to interfere in matters before the Emperor?"
It would be a lie to say that Gu Heng wasn't angry.
The son he raised for twenty years stabbed him in the back and had his title demoted. He was too embarrassed to go out and see people.
What’s the use of being angry?
Emperor Xia has shown his extreme dissatisfaction with him by directly demoting him this time. If he still shows anger on his face, wouldn't he be courting death?
Not to mention settling the score with Gu Jingzhi.
"Master, our noble titles have been reduced. If you don't show any sign of support, outsiders will only think you are weak and can be bullied!"
Song Yu still argued stubbornly, "Gu Jingzhi is only a sixth-rank official, and our family is the seat of a founding marquis. If you don't fight back, how can you hold your head up high when you see those dukes, marquises, and earls in the future?"
I ride a horse...
Gu Heng was so angry that he lost his temper.
I've said it several times, Gu Jingzhi can't move now, can't move, but this woman keeps telling him to save face...
"Shut up!"
Gu Heng was furious and said, "If you don't understand what I'm saying, then ask a teacher to teach you. Stop thinking about your own death all day long. From now on, without my consent, neither you nor Gu Xiu... are allowed to leave this house!"
