Gu Chengyu was escorting Mrs. Lv back to her own courtyard, but Mrs. Lv seemed overwhelmed with worry.
Gu Chengyu quickly comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. Let's see how things are tomorrow! Your son is now an official; surely they wouldn't dare to act rashly?"
Mrs. Lv smiled knowingly and patted her son's shoulder, "That's right! My son is a big official now; let's see if they still dare to act out?"
Gu Chengyu thought of Mrs. Li's parents. Old Li was a tough character; causing trouble tomorrow was inevitable.
But Old Li attempting to extort the Gu Family was absolutely impossible.
The next day, with a few stars still lingering in the sky, Gu Chengyu was already at the old residence.
The third son knelt before the mourning hall, burning paper money. Chang sat leaning against Wang Yue on the ground, eyes half-closed and seemingly dozing off.
Wang Yue appeared dazed, lost in thought, yet the second son was nowhere to be seen.
