[The Continuation / Follow Up]

Listening to Gu Lang’s suggestion, Chen Xing’s muddled head nodded without thinking and then whispered, “Okay, then let’s go back first.”

 

When Gu Lang left with Chen Xing, Gu Lang looked over towards the direction of the execution in the courthouse, and the corner of his mouth revealed a not-so-obvious arc.

 

Noticing that Gu Lang had stopped, Chen Xing turned his head to look at him.

 

Gu Lang raised his hand and touched his head, and said in a warm voice: “It’s alright, let’s go, let’s go home ba!”

 

Just now, he heard the wailing that had been going on disappear. This situation can only happen, generally there are only two situations, one is the person is beaten to death therefore no sound, the other is because of pain, the person painted, he also does not know Chen Lao Ye belongs to which kind?

 

However, no matter what kind of situation he was in, it had nothing to do with him anymore. Gu Lang thought indifferently, turning his head to look at Chen Xing beside him, watching him regain his usual vigor, talking in detail about how everyone had helped in the past few days, and how he was going to invite everyone to dinner tomorrow.

 

“Well, I’ll listen to you.” Gu Lang easily agreed, and immediately added, “When the time comes, Qiu Jiu and I will come together to help you.”

 

###

 

On this side, Gu Lang and Chen Xing left together in a peaceful manner, while on the other side, Madam Chen was letting people carry the beaten up old master Chen out of the court very carefully.

 

Mrs Chen’s face was white/ pale, looking at the bloodstains on Chen Lao Ye’s back, wanting to reach out to probe whether he still has breath, just stretched over her hands and then stretched its back again, and finally pushed the little maid directly beside her out, “You go and look, see if the old master is still breathing.”

 

The maid looked at the old master like a bloody gourd, and did not dare to go over, and looked at Mrs Chen expectantly, but was stared back by Madam’s ferocious eyes.

 

The maid’s heart was in panic, her eyes closed, she still reached out to Master Chen’s nose, under the probe, she felt the warm breath. So she immediately opened her eyes, then turned her head to look at Mrs Chen behind her and happily said, “Madam, the old master is still breathing.”

 

Mrs Chen’s eyes slightly widened, just now that strand of tension disappeared at once, and then returned to the previous day that set herself high above the masses position, looked at the several underlings who carried the old master and sternly commanded: “You have to carry it steadily, if the old master bumped and get even hurt, I will interrogate you guys.”

 

After threatening those subordinates, Madam Chen looked at the maid next to her and ordered, “Go to the Zhou Family Medical Centre and invite their Doctor Wang here, and tell them to bring the best medicine.”

 

Only when the maid nodded and left, did Madam Chen with such pale’s face come to the side of Chen Lao Ye and said in a voice that everyone could hear, “Old Master, why are you so miserable ah! Unexpectedly, by your own brother (not real brother) to be harmed into this, if I had known that this would be the case, we should not have concluded this marriage.”

 

Besides not knowing the original story, the passers-by only to see the old man was beaten into a bloody man and heard Mrs Chen say this, they could not help but feel a little more sympathy toward the old master Chen who lying there.

 

Like this, Madam Chen stumbled all the way along the footsteps, following Chen Lao Ye’s subordinates who carried him, under the full view of the public, walked back to the Chen family’s house.

 

###

 

This city, to say it’s not big actually it’s not,but to say it’s not small, it’s not right either, the Chen family’s affairs in which Chen Lao Ye was carried home an hour later, the Zhao family knew the whole story in details.

 

The Zhao family’s head lady leaned her back against her own soft cushion and listened to the following people’s reports as if she were listening to gossip.

 

“Ma’am, that Chen Lao Ye, oh, was directly beaten into a bloody gourd, and when he was carried out of the court, we didn’t know whether he was dead or alive.”

 

Madam Zhao pulled the corners of her mouth and said in a low voice: “Come on, how did he become like this? You tell me.”

 

“Yes!” That subordinate saw that Madam Zhao was in a good mood, so he dared to talk to her in an impoverished manner, but when he heard Madam Zhao’s command, he didn’t dare to make any other moves, and honestly told her the whole story once again.

 

Mrs Zhao’s originally calm expression, in this subordinate’s account, slowly changed face, and finally sank face, looked at the subordinate and asked: “Are you saying that the Gu family’s guy is a Juren (graduate or successful candidate in the imperial provincial examination? Or is it only revealed at the end to Chen Lao Ye?”

 

The subordinate didn’t know why the originally indifferent Madam Zhao had become so serious all of a sudden, but he just looked at her stoic face and finally nodded, “Yes, Madam.”

 

They knew that the Gu family had come back, but originally thought that he was just a broken man, so they didn’t pay much attention to him, but now it seems that they had underestimated him. When she thought of how Gu Lang had purposely hidden his identity and finally gave Old Master Chen an unexpected blow, she felt somewhat uneasy.

 

Looking at the madam who stood up from the soft collapse all of a sudden, the maid beside her asked in confusion, “Madam, you…this…?”

 

“Let’s go, let’s go find Master, I have something to talk to him about.”

 

She has to tell him about this. She knows only a little bit about what happened back then. She doesn’t think Gu Lang will let them go. Now, looking at Gu Lang’s stance, they have to prepare for this.

 

###

 

Chen Xing returned to the Gu Mansion, simply ate a meal and went to his room to rest. He lay down on the soft and big bed, thinking that the troubles of the past few days have finally been solved, and let out a long breath of air.

 

Immediately, Chen Xing thought of Gu Lang’s words today. His face and ears couldn’t help but redden. He slowly rolled over, burying himself inside the guilt. His ears reddened as he thought, Gu Lang, how can be so foul, every time he always in all seriousness, suddenly says those kinds of indecent words?
