Xiao He’s move of using someone else to do the dirty work is quite effective.
“What I want is for him to be infuriated directly. Suppressing people more capable than oneself, this kind of act can only be done by Gu Sheng. Ordinary people really can’t pull it off,” Wang Jinhe sarcastically remarked.
Though Su Yu didn’t speak, he strongly agreed with Wang Jinhe’s sentiments. “You’re right, Gu Sheng probably won’t have an easy time when he returns.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Once Gu Sheng and the others return, things will likely start.
“Su Yu, I suddenly want to visit the capital and meet Gu Xiruo. I want to see if Gu Xiruo is as clever as you all say.”
“To the capital? Are you taking Xiao Bao with you?”
Wang Jinhe considered it for a moment and shook her head, “We’re not going for fun. If we bring Xiao Bao along, won’t that be like using him as a target for Gu Sheng and the others?”
Gu Sheng is currently anxious about not being able to catch Xiao Bao. If he takes Xiao Bao away, how will they protect him afterward?
Su Yu sighed lightly; indeed, this is quite troublesome.
“Then let Xiao Bao stay at home with Xiao Zhi, and the two of us will go back for a visit,” Su Yu considered for a moment and looked at Wang Jinhe, asking.
“When do you plan to go back?”
“I’ll wait until things start to unravel in the Gu family. Planting rice here is also crucial; others don’t know how to handle it, only I know.” Wang Jinhe currently had no plans to go immediately. She would go to the capital to meet Gu Xiruo after the rice planting season.
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe with a wry smile, “It seems that in your heart, Gu Xiruo is still not as important as planting rice.”
“There’s absolutely no comparison.” Wang Jinhe retorted, “Is someone like Gu Xiruo even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as rice planting?”
She can grow a lot of crops by planting rice and continue to exploit money from the emperor. What’s wrong with that? What can Gu Xiruo do? She’s useless, only capable of making noise and garbage.
Fortunately, Su Yu doesn’t know what Wang Jinhe is thinking; otherwise, he would probably find it both amusing and exasperating.
Wang Jinhe has always been aware of the movements of the Gu Sheng couple. She didn’t pay much attention to them after they left this area.
However, what Wang Jinhe didn’t expect was that after the Gu family left, the Yu family arrived.
When the seedlings were about half a hand’s length, Wang Jinhe started instructing all the farm workers to plow the fields. With more land at home, she bought several more powerful oxen to reduce the time spent.
Returning from outside with her shoes in hand, Wang Jinhe, Su Yu hurriedly walked over and looked at her muddy feet, saying with some disdain, “Xiao He, how many times have I told you not to walk barefoot? Isn’t it uncomfortable like this?”
Wang Jinhe shook her head, “Not uncomfortable. I just came back from the field, and my whole foot is covered in mud. How could I wear shoes?”
“Alright, you’re right. Pay attention in the future.” He decided that during the autumn season, he will make sure Xiao He doesn’t act recklessly. Instead of telling Wang Jinhe, it’s better to inform Qiuyi and the others.
“Yes, sir.”
Giving a disdainful look to those overly concerned, Wang Jinhe said unkindly, “Can you two stop treating me like a child? You didn’t treat Xiao Bao like this. Why single me out?”
Looking at Wang Jinhe’s indignant expression, Su Yu raised an eyebrow and said, “Because Xiao Bao is much more obedient than you.”
Wang Jinhe was rendered speechless by Su Yu’s remark and could only stiffly change the topic, “When I came back, I saw a horse tied up at my mother house’s doorstep. Let’s go over and see if Uncle has returned.”
“Okay.” After Wang Jinhe changed into her shoes, Su Yu led her back inside.
Upon entering, they heard the indifferent voice of Yu Bailin, “Take your things and roll as far as possible. I don’t value these few things of yours.”
The head of the Yu family chuckled softly, “You’re still as unpleasant as ever.”
“Mutual feelings. If there’s nothing else, you can leave. Our house is too small to accommodate such big Buddas like you.” The old man looked calmly at the head of the Yu family and spoke.
The head of the Yu family turned to look at Wang Jinhe, who had just entered, “Is this your granddaughter? She looks really beautiful. Even if you don’t think for yourself, you should think for your granddaughter, don’t you think?”
“After all, it’s not easy for a child to grow up. If you all die because of this, it will be more harm than good. What do you think, Bailin? Do you think what I’m saying is right?” The head of the Yu family’s smile was like the Maitreya Buddha.
Wang Jinhe cast a disdainful glance at the head of the Yu family. She despised these hypocritical people the most.
Clearly, they do all kinds of evil but still pretend to be compassionate and merciful, trying to save all living beings. Such people are truly laughable.
“Grandpa, who is this person? He comes in and threatens that something is wrong here? Or did he forget to take his medication?” Wang Jinhe pointed to her head, asking in confusion.
“He came to our house as a guest. It’s really nice for a guest to say such things, very well-mannered.” Yu Bailin, who originally had an unpleasant expression, improved because of Wang Jinhe’s words, “Xiao He is right; the manners are indeed excellent.”
Seeing a younger generation daring to speak to him like this, the head of the Yu family said, “An ill-mannered person like her is a disaster when she comes to the Yu family. Someone, Come here and teach her what manners are.”
Yu Bailin was not in a hurry. Watching the head of the Yu family’s lackey go to discipline Wang Jinhe, his indifference surprised the head of the Yu family. He actually didn’t care about this golden bean he cherished in the palm of his hand?
While the head of the Yu family was contemplating, a piercing scream echoed. Yuan Xu withdrew his hand, coldly watching the guard clutching his arm, his face turning pale from pain. “Thinking of harming our lady is simply seeking death.”
“Bailin, the servants in your house have impressed me.” The head of the Yu family said meaningfully.
“You’re mistaken. These servants aren’t from my house; they are by the side of Master Su Yu from the Su family,” Bailin said casually.
The head of the Yu family, finally noticing Su Yu sitting with Wang Jinhe, glanced at Su Yu with a slightly cold expression. “Even Master Su from the Su family wants to get involved in this muddy water?”
“Originally, I shouldn’t interfere, but this is my father-in-law’s house. Matters of my father-in-law’s family naturally concern me. I’m afraid, this time, you’ll be disappointed, Head of the Yu family,” Su Yu shrugged, indicating innocence.
The head of the Yu family’s gaze flickered slightly. It seemed that Bailin had some connections with the Su and Yang families. Yang Zhenwei and Su Xi were not easy to deal with. Even though they had restrained themselves a lot now, he still remembered the things these two did in the past.
Wang Jinhe observed this, then glanced at Su Yu and asked in a low voice, “Why do I feel like the head of the Yu family seems to be somewhat afraid of Grandpa Su and Gradpa Yang? Is he scared of them?”
“This head of the family seems to have some fear of my grandfathers. They were quite famous when they were young. He probably knows the two old men,” Su Yu explained ambiguously. This explanation was probably more confusing for Wang Jinhe than not explaining at all.
“How do you want to come back with me?” The head of the Yu family, finding that a peaceful discussion wouldn’t work, directly asked.
“We won’t go back.”
