“Do you need this Prince to remind you of your words in the Ming Family? Yuan Xu, go find Wan Feng. I want to hear about the Yu Family’s financial troubles tomorrow morning,” Su Yu didn’t avoid Yu Manxue and directly instructed Yuan Xu to find Wan Feng.
“Yes.”
Yuan Xu sympathetically glanced at Yu Manxue. What was this? A word worth a fortune?
This was the first time the young master wanted a family to be in financial trouble. Wan Feng and the others would surely be pleased.
As Yuan Xu left, the gatekeeper came to report, “Prince Yu, the Head of the Yu Family and the Head of the Gu Family have arrived.”
Su Yu glanced meaningfully at the door. They came quite quickly.
“Let them in.” With everyone present, the show could begin.
“Prince Yu, the young master of the Gu Family is also here.”
Su Yu propped his chin and calmly looked at Gu Xiruo on the ground. “Tsk, the father and the brother are both here. I wonder why they’ve come.”
Gu Xiruo looked at Su Yu in panic. “What do you want?”
“To avenge my consort,” Su Yu said simply. “I just want revenge. What can you do to me?”
“For a worthless woman…”
“Shut up,” Su Yu interrupted Gu Xiruo.
A woman nearby heard this and walked over, grabbing Gu Xiruo’s collar and delivering a few slaps. The women present were all used to physical labor, so being hit by them was no ordinary pain.
The woman in charge of the slapping glared fiercely at Gu Xiruo. Their consort was so good, yet this young lady from the Gu family was so rude, daring to speak ill of their consort.
“Can our consort be insulted by you?” she said, delivering another slap in frustration.
Gu Xiruo was stunned. She had never suffered such a loss before.
“It seems the previous incident didn’t teach Miss Gu how to speak,” Su Yu said calmly.
Gu Xiruo’s face was numb from the slaps, and she didn’t even dare to think about what would happen to her next.
“You are abusing your power and harming the innocent,” Gu Xiruo still refused to acknowledge the so-called evidence, looking at Su Yu and struggling to speak.
Listening to Gu Xiruo’s words, Su Yu chuckled softly. “Innocent? Gu Xiruo, you really think you’re innocent.”
Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, Gu Xiruo had a bad premonition.
“Let this Miss Gu see how innocent she really is. Plotting against the current consort, is that your definition of innocence?” Su Yu asked coldly, looking at Gu Xiruo.
Gu Xiruo remained silent, not uttering a word. Today, she had indeed done such a thing, thinking it was well concealed, but she never expected it to be discovered.
When the Head of the Gu Family and his son entered, they saw Gu Xiruo’s face, swollen from the slaps, resembling a pig’s head. Gu Yanqi was startled at first, then found it quite ridiculous.
What had Gu Xiruo done to provoke Su Yu to treat her in this manner?
“Gu Xiruo, what have you done again?”
He had only heard the Head of the Gu Family say that Gu Xiruo had offended the Prince Yu, but he didn’t know what she had actually done.
Upon hearing this, the Head of the Gu Family became displeased. “What did your sister do? I didn’t bring you here to criticize your sister.”
Gu Yanqi looked at Gu Sheng with a strange expression, and after observing for a while, he spoke indifferently, “I don’t have a sister like that.”
Now he seemed to understand why Su Yu didn’t want him to acknowledge Wang Jinhe.
With a father like this, even if he knew that Wang Jinhe was his biological daughter, what could he do?
“You will regret this sooner or later,” suddenly Gu Yanqi didn’t want the Gu family to know that Gu Xiruo was a fake.
They deserved to be deceived by Gu Xiruo until their death. Such family members did not deserve to appear in front of Wang Jinhe.
Su Yu naturally noticed the change in Gu Yanqi’s expression. It seemed that the Gu family had gained another person who resented them, which was excellent.
Seeing Gu Xiruo being treated this way, Gu Sheng felt extremely distressed. He spoke displeasedly, “Prince Yu, what do you mean by this?”
“Continue,” Su Yu ignored Gu Sheng and gave the order.
Gu Sheng’s expression stiffened. He never expected Su Yu to do such a thing.
“Prince Yu, that’s enough. How did my daughter offend you to deserve such harsh treatment?” Gu Sheng pretended not to know anything and ran over to question Su Yu.
Su Yu chuckled softly, a smile that sent shivers down the spine of those nearby.
“The Head of the Gu Family is quite eloquent. How did I offend you? Didn’t Yuan Bao inform the Gu family when he went to apprehend someone?” Su Yu lightly tapped the tabletop and spoke calmly.
Gu Sheng looked somewhat guilty. He knew everything, but it was precisely because he knew that he was worried about what Su Yu might do. This led him to take preemptive action, making it seem like Su Yu’s fault.
Hearing the harsh sound of slaps and Gu Xiruo’s cries, Gu Sheng felt extremely distressed. “Prince Yu, please let’s talk nicely. There’s no need for this.”
“Talk nicely? This Miss from the Gu family doesn’t deserve any niceties from me,” Su Yu leaned back in his chair, eyes lowered, showing no respect for the Gu family.
Gu Sheng was very dissatisfied with Su Yu’s attitude. What did he mean by this? Did becoming a prince mean he no longer respected people from their prestigious family?
“Even if you are a prince, you cannot abuse your power like this.”
Su Yu spoke, “Wan Gu.”
Wan Gu walked in from outside. Having heard the Head of the Gu Family’s words earlier, he knew that Su Yu was in a bad mood and could only obediently ask, “Young master, what are your orders?”
“Gu Sheng said that I abused my power. Let him understand what real abuse of power is,” Su Yu’s voice was calm, as if nothing special was happening.
Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng and Gu Xiruo’s expressions changed slightly. “What… what are you two doing?”
“We just want you to understand what real abuse of power looks like,” Su Yu said, then forced a pill into Gu Xiruo’s mouth.
By the time Gu Xiruo realized and tried to spit it out, it was already too late.
Gu Xiruo looked up at Wan Gu. “What did you give me to eat?”
“Good stuff,” Wan Gu’s eyes lit up as he looked at Gu Xiruo.
This made Gu Xiruo’s scalp tingle.
She was about to speak when suddenly her entire body felt excruciating pain, as if all her bones were being broken at the same time.
“Ah!” Gu Xiruo screamed in agony, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
Gu Sheng couldn’t bear to see Gu Xiruo suffer like this. He stared at Su Yu and gritted his teeth, “Prince Yu, isn’t this going too far? After all, she is your sister.”
“How would I not know if I suddenly had a sister?” Su Yu squinted at Gu Sheng.
“Jinhe is my daughter, thus Xiruo is your sister,” Gu Sheng was completely committed to defending Gu Xiruo.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu looked at Gu Sheng coldly. “My wife’s father is Yu Qingfeng, and her mother is Gu Jiuning. What are you, Gu Sheng?”
“Have you ever asked my mother-in-law for her opinion, how dare you claim her daughter?”
However, Gu Sheng, ungrateful, sneered, “Stop pretending. I know she is my biological daughter.”
Gu Yanqi turned to look at Gu Sheng. “You knew?”
