Chapter 442 Be his father in the next life!
When Gu Qianning returned to the Duke's Mansion anxiously, it was already dark.
She waited and waited in her yard for two hours, but Gu Qianhan didn't come back.
"Xiao He, go check again, has the second brother come back?"
"Miss, the maid at the second gate said that she will give us a message as soon as the second young master comes back!"
"Okay, then wait!"
"Miss, what have you been waiting for the Second Young Master for?"
Gu Qianning looked like she had lost all hope in life: "Of course I will confess my crime voluntarily. Otherwise, if my second brother finds out about my crime, I'm afraid I won't even be able to wait until tomorrow, and he will marry me off to Jiangnan."
"Miss, what crime have you committed? How come I don't know that you have committed a crime? I follow you all the time. If I don't know, then the Second Young Master certainly won't know!"
Gu Qianning sighed: "You are such a blockhead, what can you know? Do you think my second brother is as stupid as you? He is so smart."
Xiao He touched her head embarrassedly and lowered her head.
She was indeed not very smart, but she was loyal, obedient and hardworking, which was why she was able to stay with the eldest lady as a maid.
It was almost midnight, and just when Gu Qianning was about to fall asleep with her chin in her hands, the maid outside finally brought the news that Gu Qianhan was back!
Gu Qianning’s sleepiness disappeared all at once. She straightened her clothes and went to Gu Qianhan’s yard with her maid.
In the inner room, Gu Qianhan had taken off half of his clothes and was about to take a shower when he heard Gu Qianning's voice outside.
"Brother, come out for a moment! I have something very important to tell you!"
Gu Qianhan didn't really want to pay attention to her: "Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's too late today and I'm tired."
"No! We have to tell you today! Come out quickly, it won't take up much of your time! Second brother! Gu Qianhan!"
Gu Qianhan had no choice but to put on his clothes again and walked out of the inner room with a cold face: "Why are you here screaming in the middle of the night? What's the matter?"
His aura was too strong and his voice was too cold. Gu Qianning couldn't help but get nervous. She twisted her fingers and stammered, "That... I... I today... today..."
Gu Qianhan frowned: "You called me out in such a hurry, just to show me your stuttering? My patience is limited, so please speak quickly!"
Gu Qianning: "Today I went to give Atang the calligraphy you gave her, but I was so happy that I drank a few glasses of wine. After drinking a few glasses of wine, I felt a little dizzy and a little unclear, and then I said some nonsense. But don't worry, Atang probably didn't take it seriously. She probably thought I was drunk and just talking nonsense!"
She spoke very quickly, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, and finished it all in one breath without stopping.
Then, she looked at Gu Qianhan cautiously: "Second brother, you—you are not angry, right?"
Gu Qianhan was so angry that he laughed: "You spoke so quickly and so vaguely, are you afraid that I can hear it clearly?"
Gu Qianning laughed dryly: "Don't you dislike my stuttering? I have to speak faster so as not to waste your time."
"Tell me clearly what you said in front of Shen Wantang that you should come here in the middle of the night to explain."
"It's...that's..."
"Stutter again and I'll throw you out."
"I accidentally revealed the secret that you liked Atang, and I even said shamelessly that I wanted to be her sister-in-law, and I also..."
"What else?"
"I think I even called her my second sister-in-law..."
"anything else?"
"That... probably, maybe, it's gone!"
For a moment, Gu Qianhan didn't know whether to be angry or happy. He didn't even dare to tell Shen Wantang that he liked her, but Gu Qianning told him everything under the influence of alcohol.
He glanced at his sister who had gotten into trouble. Seeing that she looked anxious and worried that he would be angry, he sighed helplessly, "Who heard your drunken talk?"
"Don't worry, second brother. There is no one else except me and Atang's maid! I promise not to spread it and damage Atang's reputation!"
Gu Qianhan nodded: "From now on, you are not allowed to drink even a drop of alcohol!"
"Oh, okay, got it."
"Go back to sleep!"
"Oh."
Gu Qianning lowered her head, turned around and walked out.
After walking two steps, she turned back and whispered, "Second brother, to be honest, Atang probably won't believe a drunkard like me. I even slept at her place. After I woke up, Atang didn't behave strangely at all. She probably didn't take it seriously. You can still get along with her like before."
Gu Qianhan glanced at her calmly: "Do you think she is as stupid as you?"
Gu Qianning was unhappy now and glared at him: "How am I stupid? I am one of the smartest women out there! But you always look down on me for being stupid. You are only a little bit smarter than me! If I were a man, I would be good at both literature and martial arts and beat you to a pulp!"
Gu Qianhan said indifferently: "You are overestimating your own abilities."
After he said that, he turned and went into the inner room to take a shower.
Gu Qianning was so angry that she was furious, but she couldn't rush into the inner room to beat him. What's more, even if she could rush in, she couldn't beat him.
She stamped her feet and walked away angrily.
The theories of past lives and reincarnation are extremely popular these days. Gu Qianning thought that if she had a next life, she must be reincarnated as a man, preferably as Gu Qianhan's biological father!
Teach him a lesson when the time comes!
Gu Qianning was thinking with gritted teeth when she wasn't paying attention and bumped into someone.
She looked up and saw, wow, who else could it be if not Gu Qianhan’s biological father?
Oh, he’s also her biological father.
Gu Qianning touched his head which was hurt from the collision and said, "Father, why are you at my second brother's door?"
Gu Rongchang frowned and looked at her: "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in your thoughts that you don't even look at the road when you walk. You are so impatient. Is this what your mother taught you?"
Gu Qianning instantly regained her ladylike appearance. She straightened her back, looked dignified, and even spoke in an unhurried tone: "My father taught me, and I am learning from him."
"What are you doing in your second brother's yard so late?"
Gu Qianning made up an excuse that she thought was sound: "My daughter asked my second brother for advice."
As a result, Gu Rongchang's face suddenly darkened: "He is a rebellious son, what knowledge can he teach him? If you don't understand something, go ask your eldest brother, and don't ask your second brother anymore!"
Gu Qianning's heart moved, and she asked him, "Father, has my second brother made you angry again? Has he not let go of your men yet? Will my second brother really be in charge of our family from now on?"
The eldest daughter was being trained as the future queen. While Gu Rongchang strictly required her to have etiquette, he never avoided matters of family and country. He required his daughter to always be aware of the direction of the court and be familiar with family affairs.
So, he said without hiding anything: "I came so late just to ask him for his people! This bastard dared to detain my people and even my power. He is a rebellion!"
