Chapter 247 A Little Bit of Smugness
Chapter 247 A Little Bit of Smugness
However, Lord Gu, who was standing in the center, was furious. His eyes were wide open, his face was red, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.
He roared, "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Get to the bottom of this!"
His voice was deafening, as if it were about to shatter the roof of the ancestral hall.
Because these are the ancestral tablets of the Gu family, each one carrying the family's glory and history.
Now that someone dares to cause trouble here, how can he not be furious?
Lord Gu knew very well that if these ancestral tablets were unfortunately destroyed by fire or other disasters, he would not only lose face, but also have no face to face his clansmen.
What's even more frightening is that even his strict father probably won't let him off easily, and might even do something out of anger, which would be a serious offense.
Thinking of this, Lord Gu's anger became even more uncontrollable.
Just then, Lord Gu rushed to the scene.
He glanced around and saw that the ancestral hall was safe and sound, which finally put his anxious heart at ease.
However, due to excessive tension and worry, his body was already swaying precariously. If it weren't for the servants beside him who caught him in time, he probably would have fallen to the ground long ago.
When his gaze shifted to the side, he noticed Su Yue, who was covered in dust and looked disheveled.
He quickly examined her carefully and only after confirming that Su Yue was not injured did the heavy weight in his heart finally fall to the ground.
After this ordeal, Lord Gu was really worried that his son might encounter other unexpected situations, so he quickly ordered his men to escort them back to their residence.
Meanwhile, to ensure that the ancestral hall would not be disturbed again, he specially dispatched several highly skilled guards to watch over it.
Meanwhile, Su Yue looked very happy, skipping and hopping back like a cheerful little bird.
Unlike others, she was in an exceptionally cheerful and happy mood at this moment.
Upon returning to her residence, she immediately sought out Gu Yuan and eagerly recounted to him everything that had happened that evening.
"How about it? Do you feel a little better now that you know about this? I've finally helped you vent your anger a little!" Su Yue said to Gu Yuan with a smug look on her face.
Gu Yuan was quite surprised to hear this.
He never expected that those two arrogant guys would be so stupid as to dare to provoke Su Yue. They've really run into a brick wall.
"I really don't know how to thank you enough. Those two deserved it! Quick, let me take a good look at you and see if you're injured anywhere," Gu Yuan said with concern.
When he saw that Su Yue was covered in black dust, his heart tightened, fearing that she might be harmed in the slightest.
"Oh, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine! Hehehe... But those two guys are in real trouble! Let's just wait and see the show tomorrow! Hehehe... But I'm all filthy right now, I'd better go wash up first. See you tomorrow!" Su Yue said, looking down at herself covered in black ash.
I felt itchy all over and wished I could jump into the water and wash myself clean immediately.
However, Dali refused to leave, insisting on bathing Su Yue himself, and kept groping her arms, as if trying to find the place where Lord Gu had injured her.
In fact, Su Yue had already secretly cleaned the wound with spiritual spring water back in the ancestral hall. Now, it had not only healed completely, but there wasn't even a trace of scar left.
"It's already done! Look if you don't believe me!" Upon seeing this, Su Yue quickly stretched out her arm in front of Dali, gesturing for her to check.
The area that should have been injured was now smooth and delicate, with no trace of the injury.
"Dali, thank goodness you were so brave today! Don't keep frowning and looking so sad. Look at Ayue, she's all right! Come on, give me a smile, okay?"
Ever since Su Yue was beaten, Dali's face has been gloomy, looking worried and depressed.
"Oh my! It's really all better, not a bit of pain left! We need to take a shower quickly, otherwise the hot water will get cold, and if we delay any longer, I'll definitely get sick from the cold!" Su Yue exclaimed happily as she reached out and gently rubbed Dali's smelly face.
When Dali heard Su Yue say that the water was getting cold and that she might get sick because of it, he felt a pang of anxiety and quickly and efficiently started washing Su Yue's hair.
He carefully applied the shampoo to Su Yue's dark, shiny hair, gently massaging it in, afraid of hurting her.
After a busy day, Su Yue finally finished showering, wrapped herself in a soft bath towel, and snuggled into bed.
At this moment, they lay side by side on the bed, with Dali pressing tightly against Su Yue.
Since arriving at the Gu residence, Su Yue has insisted that Dali sleep alone in another room.
However, today, for the first time ever, he allowed Dali to sleep in the same bed with him.
For Dali, this was undoubtedly an extremely happy thing.
Thinking of this, Dali's tense face gradually relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile of undisguised joy.
She didn't sleep well. Before dawn, Su Yue was woken up by a commotion at three o'clock in the morning.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and couldn't help but think of those two people.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Su Yue muttered to herself as she got up to open the door. At that moment, standing outside was Gu Yuan.
He seemed to have just arrived here as well.
When their eyes met, they were both startled at first, and then they both turned their gazes outside in unison.
The entire Gu residence was brightly lit and bustling with noise.
From a distance, numerous servants and maids could be seen bustling about, as if something extraordinary had happened.
Su Yue leaned lazily against the door frame, her brows slightly furrowed, and asked in a calm tone, "Why all this commotion in the middle of the night? Have you found those two people? Or did that poisonous woman die of anger?"
Gu Yuan crossed his arms, a hint of hesitation on his face, and replied uncertainly, "Hmm... I think they've found those two, but I don't know the specifics. Should I go over and ask around?"
