Originally, Su Yù had no intention of going out. However, after Jì Chén and the others left, some issues arose on his side.
Su Yù looked at the recently received letter, his brows slightly furrowed. It seemed that in his absence, someone had become unruly.
“Xiǎo Hé, I might need to leave for some time due to certain matters on my end. Is it okay if I take Yuán Bǎo with me?” Su Yù put away the letter and went to find Wáng Jǐn hé.
“What happened?” Wáng Jǐnhé couldn’t help but feel worried when she saw Su Yù’s serious expression.
“Some people on my end have become restless.” Su Yù rubbed his temples, a bit impatient. It seemed like sending Jì Chén and the others to handle this matter was the right decision.
“In that case, you go. We have Qi Fēng here now, and he’s quite capable. Just make sure he communicates with Yuán Bǎo about the matters on this side.” After all, Yuán Bǎo had been in charge of things before.
“Alright.”
Su Yù called for Yuán Bǎo and asked him to hand over the matters on Wáng Jǐnhé’s side to Qi Fēng.
“I’ve already informed Qi Fēng about most of the things in the past two days. Just let him know about the remaining trivial matters later,” Yuán Bǎo’s words surprised Wáng Jǐn hé.
Originally, she had given Qi Fēng two days of rest, but unexpectedly, he not only didn’t rest but also took the initiative to understand all the things he needed to do.
“You’re quite reassuring,” Wáng Jǐnhé finally said after holding it in for a while.
“Yuán Bǎo, finish handing over the remaining matters to Qi Fēng. We’ll leave directly tomorrow,” Su Yù said in a cold tone.
“Understood.”
After Yuán Bǎo went to work, Su Yù went to find Xiǎo Bǎo and Zhāng Zhìlín, informing them about his temporary departure.
“Xiǎo Bǎo, Xiao Zhì, I’ll be leaving for a while. During this time, study well with Grandpa. I’ll assign you tasks, and when I come back, I’ll check. If you complete them, I’ll give each of you a precious gift. How about that?” Su Yù looked at the two children and said.
Although Xiǎo Bǎo was reluctant, he still nodded and promised, “Daddy, I’ll be obedient.”
“You’re truly obedient.”
The next day, Su Yù left with Yuán Bǎo and Yuán Xù. Wáng Jǐnhé felt a bit melancholic seeing them go.
The moment of melancholy lasted only an instant. After Su Yù and his companions left, Wáng Jǐnhé rallied her spirits and continued with her tasks.
On the other hand, Gù Shēng was thrilled to learn about Su Yù’s departure. It seemed like Su Yù left at just the right time.
Gù Shēng didn’t rush to find Wáng Jǐnhé. Instead, he went to seek Yú BǎiYà, intending to cooperate with him. Taking advantage of Su Yù’s absence, they could clean up things directly. By the time Su Yù returned, it would be too late.
Yú Bǎiyà shared the same idea as Gù Shēng – Su Yù’s absence was their opportunity.
After discussing their plan, the two of them went to Wáng Jǐnhé’s house together.
Seeing Gù Shēng’s arrival, Wáng Jǐn hé’s eyes were filled with disdain. At the same time, she was well aware that Gù Shēng and the others knew about Su Yù’s departure.
“What are you here for? Get out of my house,” Wáng Jǐnhé rebuked in a cold voice.
However, Gù Shēng and his group didn’t take Wáng Jǐnhé seriously at all. “Su Yù is gone, and you still think you matter? Wáng Jǐnhé, you’d better be sensible and come with us.”
Wáng Jinhe looked at Gù Shēng with a mix of tears and laughter. He treated her as if she were inconsequential, but instead of getting angry, she seemed quite pleased.
“Gù Shēng, are you brain-dead? Does my status disappear just because Su Yù left? Although Su Yù is gone, I still have this,” Wáng Jǐnhe said, playing with the jade pendant in her hand, wearing a smile that was both genuine and sly.
“Dare you touch me and see?” Wáng Jǐnhé disdainfully looked at Gù Shēng.
Gù Shēng, with an unpleasant expression, looked at the jade pendant in Wáng Jǐnhé’s hand. He hadn’t expected that Su Yù, even after leaving, would leave the jade pendant symbolizing the prince status with Wáng Jǐnhé.
“Take action,” Gù Shēng couldn’t care about much at this point. He could only quickly take her away as soon as possible; otherwise, it would be troublesome if they attracted more attention.
“What do you want to do to our Young Madam?” Qi Fēng walked over, blocking Wáng Jǐnhé and coldly staring at the Gu family’s leader.
Hearing Qi Fēng’s address for Wáng Jǐnhé, Gù Shēng thought he was one of Su Yù’s guards.
“Do you think you can stop us?” Gù Shēng sneered dismissively.
Qi Feng chuckled. It had been a long time since anyone dared to question his strength like this.
“Brothers in the shadows, you can come out now. I’ll take care of protecting these people, including the lady.” Ever since he was exiled by Prince Ningyuan, he rarely had the chance to take action.
He wondered if today’s opponents could give him a satisfying challenge. At the very least, could he have a good fight with these people?
Wang Jinhe looked helplessly at Qi Feng, and the figures from the shadows appeared around Wang Jinhe, guarding her.
It was only now that Wang Jinhe realized she had so many people by her side.
Gu Sheng, watching the sudden appearance of these people, felt a deep resentment. Su Yu was so good to Wang Jinhe, leaving so many people around her. It was a waste.
“Gu Sheng, it’s really a pity. You still can’t take me away,” Wang Jinhe said, looking at Gu Sheng with a mocking smile.
“Take action.” Gu Sheng knew that his chances of success had decreased again, but he couldn’t give up like this; his daughter was still waiting for him to return and cure her illness.
Wang Jinhe looked at Gu Sheng with a complicated expression. All of this was for someone with no blood ties to him.
Gu Sheng’s actions were like a thorn to Wang Jinhe. Even if she tried not to care, when she saw what Gu Sheng did to save Gu Xiruo, it left an unpleasant feeling in her heart.
Covering her face with her hand, eyes peering through her fingers at Gu Sheng, Wang Jinhe’s hoarse voice said, “Qi Feng, cripple him.”
“Yes.”
With Wang Jinhe’s command, Qi Feng’s actions became even more ruthless. After swiftly dealing with the people around him, Qi Feng walked towards Gu Sheng.
Cold sweat dripped incessantly from Gu Sheng’s forehead as he stared at Wang Jinhe. “Tell him to back off,” he said firmly.
“Dislocate Qi Feng’s jaw. I don’t want to hear him say a single word again,” Wang Jinhe ordered with a stern expression while looking at Gu Sheng.
Even Wang Jinhe hadn’t expected that the first person she couldn’t let go of would be her so-called father. It was truly ironic.
Qi Feng could clearly sense that Wang Jinhe’s emotions seemed a bit off.
Frowning, he looked at Wang Jinhe, “Madam, are you okay?”
What had these people done to the Madam to make her so repulsed by Gu Sheng?
Wang Jinhe waved her hand, “I’m fine. Do as I said.”
Seeing that Wang Jinhe was really okay, Qi Feng directly went ahead and dislocated Gu Sheng’s jaw.
The painful whimpering made Yu Baiya contemplate as he looked at Wang Jinhe.
The last time they met, this girl only had a sharp tongue, often leaving people speechless. What had happened during this time to make Wang Jinhe completely change her attitude? Her methods seemed much more ruthless now.
Wang Jinhe gazed at the pale-faced, pained Gu Sheng, a faint smile playing on her lips. “While you’re here trying to take away something of mine, do you know what your good daughter is doing? Your family’s goods might not find buyers in the future.”
