C70 Forced

"No, I'm sorry. Uncle, Gu Wu has no choice but to obey Master's orders."

The favor of saving his life that was previously on Gu Xin's lips couldn't be exchanged for this day's worth of face. Second Uncle of Mei Family's face flushed red, and unexpectedly became very ugly for a moment.

In his 40 years of life, he rarely begged for anything like this, and was even directly rejected. The upright old man naturally felt embarrassed.

The fool walked over and pulled his father aside. He whispered, "Dad, we'd better not interfere in this matter."

Second Uncle of Mei Family looked at Mei Tiangui who was being dragged on the ground, and asked with furrowed brows: "Little brother, then may I ask, how did this person offend Young Master Gu?"

In this simple village, the legend that the rich did not take human lives seriously was only a legend. This was the first time he had seen such cruelty, and the Second Uncle of Mei Family could not bear to see it.

Gu Wu frowned, he was annoyed by this. He had no intention to say Mian Niang, and wanted to destroy female mother's reputation, so he said: "This bastard, has offended our young master."

With that, he did not give the Second Uncle of Mei Family any more chances to speak, and with a whip, he left on his horse.

Second Uncle of Mei Family frowned as he watched the figure of the man leave. He sighed and said to his son: "In the future, we should stay away from this Young Master Gu. That master is not someone we can befriend."

"I never planned to befriend him."

The idiot grumbled as he carried the hoe back to the ground. His gaze shifted to the mountain in the distance. He had clearly seen Sister-in-Law driving the hoe up the mountain, so when did Young Master Gu go up? Would he harm the Sister-in-Law? Also, how did that scoundrel, Mei Tiangui, manage to clash with that Young Master Gu?

Sister-in-Law... Mian Niang...

He was absent-minded. Two of the knee-high sorghum seedlings had been scooped out just like that. It was only when his father slapped him in the back that he saw what he had done.

"What are you thinking? "Such a good sorghum seedling has been blinded for nothing. Child, you are really something."

Second Uncle of Mei Family supported the sorghum seedlings that had been cut off and sighed, sighing. "As commoners, in the hands of nobles and officials, we are like these sorghum seedlings, whether we die or live, that is just a sentence from them. Your uncle's family is so close to the Young Master Gu, I wonder if that is a good thing or a bad thing."

The fool couldn't help but look at the mountain again. He didn't say anything, but the worry in his heart was even heavier than his father's.

Inside the mountain, Mian Niang's words made Gu Xin's body stiffen. How could he not understand the meaning behind Mian Niang's words?

"If it was only for a moment, why would I spend so much effort to contend against that Elementary Scholar?"

Half of his arms were around Mian Niang's waist, and he did not completely let her go. He stared at the apricot-like eyes of the female mother in his arms and said quietly: "Gu Ma Ji is naturally accompanied by Ah Mi throughout his life."

Once he obtained his freedom, Mian Niang immediately pulled at his lapels, angrily glaring at the other party: "Since that's the case, quickly let go of me. You'll only make me feel disgusted by you doing this."

Gu Yan didn't let him go, instead, he complained, "Mai, it's like if I let go, you'll really agree to let me go."

He let out a long sigh, "What a pity, I know Ah Mang only wants to live with that poor scholar, even if that mother and son don't truly see you as a family."

After he had been exposed, Mian Niang was still relatively calm, and only said: "So what if it is not? Mian Niang is already married.

Gu Yue sneered, "Do we still have to have children in the future, with a husband and wife accompanying each other, with a head full of white hair and old age, and become a true couple who love each other?"

"This is a matter of course."

Gu Huan let go of her hand and said: "Ah Mi, if you don't want to, I won't force you. Let me see whether this will last for a long time, and whether Mehanlin can truly be a loving couple with you forever."

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, I will naturally not touch him. I do want to see if you can still hold onto the position of the Mei Family's Madam if he becomes rich in the future."

Gu Yue bent down, picked up his machete again, and continued to chop wood.

Mian Niang did not take his words to heart, but seeing that he was no longer entangled, she could not help but feel relieved, and quickly tidied up her clothes. She originally wanted Gu Shenwei to put down the wooden sabre, but he was afraid that if she refused again and again, she would anger the other party, so she decided to go forward, and break the tree branches, making it easier to tie up the carriage.

If it wasn't for Mian Niang, he wouldn't even have touched her. Even if it was just a moment ago, he still felt that it was unfair, because she felt that if Mian Niang had entered his residence, there was no need to do all these things. Right now, looking back at Mian Niang who was picking up the branches, she felt a kind of simple happiness.

Unfortunately, with his identity, how could he possibly live like this? As a descendant of the Gu family, he enjoyed the glory of the family's prosperity, so he had to take responsibility.

With this kind of responsibility and identity, it was destined that he wouldn't be able to live such a simple life in the countryside, and that he wouldn't even be able to grant Mian Niang the position of her legal wife.

Thinking of this, the happiness in his heart disappeared in a flash. Instead, it gave birth to a sense of melancholy.

His eyes fell on Mian Niang's body, and a doubt appeared in his mind. The Mei Family mother and son obviously did not care about Ah Mi at all, and did not even think of her as a family. This kind of family did not get along well, but Ah Mi still had to suffer and do things for this family.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He clearly still looked like he wanted to die when he was in his arms, but now, as if nothing had happened, he picked up the firewood.

Was it because she was strong enough, or was it because she didn't have the slightest bit of position in her heart? Gu Xin's mood was depressing, and he could only unwillingly blame everything on the former.

Gu Wu dragged his men all the way back to Mei Family Village, and as expected, it caused another commotion. He did not care and did not care if the man let go of him. He placed him on the ground and squatted down to pat his face.

Mei Tiangui, who only had one breath left, slowly opened his eyes and saw the face in front of him. He subconsciously moved his body, and tried to increase the distance between the two of them.

Gu Wu did not force him, and only looked at his futile struggle, as he warned him in a low voice: "Today, you suffered so much because you angered our young master, huh? It has nothing to do with Mian Niang, if grandfather hears even a little bit, your little life, you don't have to worry about it. If you dare to disturb Mian Niang again, just you wait, watch how our young master cuts and feeds your flesh piece by piece to the dogs."

His tone was indifferent, without a hint of viciousness, yet Mei Tiangui seemed to have already seen his own flesh being sliced off piece by piece. Trembling in fear, Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth, unable to utter a single word.

Pah! - A slap landed on his face.

"Did you hear what I said?"

The rope in his hand had not been untied yet, but he had just managed to retrieve his dog life, in fear that the other party would cut him with a knife in a fit of anger, Mei Tiangui immediately agreed: "I heard, I heard …"

The spectators had already recognized the person who was being dragged back on the ground, it was none other than Mei Tiangui. They could not help but discuss amongst themselves, and naturally, there were also people who recognized the culprit. The culprit was the Gu family servant who had been running to the Elementary Scholar's house for a few days, so they quickly turned their gaze towards him.

Gu Wu stood up and brushed off the dust on his hands. Unintentionally sweeping a glance at the Elementary Scholars in the crowd, he cupped his fists and greeted, "Young Master Mei."

After coming out, he did not go back yet. Seeing that something had happened, he came with the crowd, but he did not expect that the one riding on the horse was Gu Wu. When he saw that the horse was dragging a person whose face was unknown, he could not help but feel fear.

In front of him, this follower of the Young Master Gu was always very amiable, but he didn't know that he was actually this ruthless.

He originally wanted to hide himself and slowly hide behind the crowd. He didn't want to get in the way of trouble. He didn't expect that the other party would be the first to notice him in front of everyone's eyes.

This time, it was impossible for him to hide. Thus, he could only brace himself and greet the other party, asking him what was going on.

Gu Wu viewed him with contempt, but did not expose him. Instead, he said loudly: "Reporting to Young Noble Mei, this man did not have much eyes, charging into our young master in the mountains, and only taught him a small lesson."

He purposely spoke loudly so that no one would believe his nonsense in the future.

Everyone looked at Mei Tiangui's miserable state and felt anxious. How was this a small lesson? If the road down the mountain was a few more kilometers, this person would not even have his life left.

No matter how much he thought about it, no one was willing to stand up for Mei Tiangui. Even the Patriarch of the Mei Family, upon hearing that it was Mei Tiangui who had caused trouble, had even provoked the young master of the Gu family.

The scholar was no exception as well. After reading his entire stomach, the most he thought about was how to stay out of this mess and not get involved in it. However, he was caught off guard as someone beside him said, "Erlang, no matter what, that day was your uncle. Go and discuss it with the Gu family.

As she spoke, she actually pushed him out. The Elementary Scholar did not notice and was pushed out by her and quickly turned his head to look, but was only met with Aunt Wang's eyes that were watching a good show.
