Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

"Father is fighting for his country abroad, why are you treating him like this?"

Gu Huixuan calmed down a little, looked up at Xu and asked.

Apart from not being able to stay at home all year round, my father's appearance and status are no better than Xu Cong's.

"You are a child, just pretend you didn't see what happened today, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."

Mrs. Xu was questioned by a child and her face looked ugly.

"Heh, I don't know how to be rude to me," Gu Huixuan looked at Xu with a sarcastic expression.

"You really don't know what's good for you. If you spread this matter, rumors will flood the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. My reputation will be ruined. Do you still have a future and want to get married?"

Seeing that Gu Huixuan didn't buy her tricks, Xu was afraid that their affair would be exposed, and she became a little agitated.

She didn't want to hit him, so why couldn't he just be more obedient!

"Mother has done something so bad, is she still afraid of others knowing?"

Gu Huixuan now completely lost the last bit of respect he had for the Xu family.

"You two should move him to the uninhabited yard next door first, so that no one can find him."

Seeing that Gu Huixuan was not interested, Xu ordered two maids to take him away.

The people who went out have almost all returned, so there is no time to talk to him now.

Xu stood in the side room and looked at Gu Huixuan's back, the pity in her eyes was gradually replaced by cruelty.

Two maids carried the person out, one on the left and one on the right.

In order to avoid any unnecessary trouble, he did not forget to cover Gu Huixuan's mouth on the way to prevent him from talking nonsense and being heard by others.

"Wuwuwu," Gu Huixuan was not the kind of person who could be bullied. He struggled hard to break free from the two men.

"Young Master, if you behave yourself, you will suffer less."

One of the maids whispered to Gu Huixuan.

Although the lady didn't like this young master, they were mother and son after all, so she didn't say how to punish him, but just locked him up first.

"Hey, Sister Xing'er, what happened to the young master?"

Suddenly, a servant who had been sent away from Xu's courtyard came back and saw Gu Huixuan being tied up, and couldn't help but ask.

"The young master made a mistake and was punished by the Madam. Don't say anything that has nothing to do with you."

Xing'er was flustered for a moment when the servant hit her in the face, but she reacted quickly and did not forget to warn the servant.

"Don't worry! I'm very tight-lipped."

The servant was also smart, and he immediately said this in a flattering way.

During this time, no matter how Gu Huixuan struggled, he did not attract the servant's attention.

Later, Gu Huixuan gave up struggling and allowed the two men to take him to an uninhabited yard next to Xu's.

Come to think of it, his father and second brother went to war, his grandmother is with his eldest brother, and now the Xu family is in charge of the entire Pingyang Marquisate. Who can save him?

Gu Huixuan was locked up in the next yard for three days and never saw Xu again.

After not drinking any water for three consecutive days, Gu Huixuan's lips had already lost their original redness, became dry, and were now covered with tiny cracks.

He leaned weakly against the corner.

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In three days, he understood what Xu's lesson was. He probably wanted to starve him to death here.

"What a cruel heart." Gu Huixuan closed his eyes weakly, regretting his impulsiveness.

On the other side, in the general's mansion, Jiang Nan was seeing the old lady as usual. Gu Yanzhou had just returned from his official business and ran into Jiang Nan when he came to Madam Gu's place.

"Your health has recovered well, keep up the good work."

Jiang Nan withdrew his hand and spoke softly to the old lady.

The old lady sat there distracted, not paying attention to Jiang Nan's words.

"Grandma, what are you thinking about so intently? Nan Nan just called you!"

Gu Yanzhou, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but remind Old Madam Gu.

"Ah! I was thinking about Xuan Er, who usually comes to my place whenever he's free. But during the New Year when school is closed, he hasn't come over in the past few days. I hope nothing has happened to him!"

Madam Gu spoke with some concern.

"Grandma, don't worry. I'll send someone to check it out right away."

After hearing what Old Madam Gu said, Gu Yanzhou immediately asked Rong Xin to start investigating.

"It's better to go and take a look. I'll be relieved if everything is fine. Since both of you are here today, why don't you stay and have dinner before leaving!"

"Okay," Jiang Nan agreed without hesitation after spending some time with Madam Gu.

"Did Uncle say when the restaurant will open?"

Gu Yanzhou turned his head to look at Jiang Nan.

"The tables and chairs we ordered have been delivered. We plan to open on the eighth day of the first lunar month. It is a good omen to have money coming from all directions."

"Well, grandma has prepared the betrothal gifts. Why don't I go and propose the betrothal gifts the day after tomorrow?"

"Okay," Jiang Nan didn't expect that Gu Yanzhou would talk to him about this in front of the old lady, and his face immediately turned red.

He is undoubtedly a straight man.

"I've made an engagement. I hope you two can get married soon so I can have a great-grandchild soon."

When Mrs. Gu talked about their marriage, she immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

"Then you must take good care of yourself."

Gu Yanzhou was also happy and rarely made a joke in front of Old Madam Gu.

In the past few days, he has been investigating the infiltration of the Apocalypse Country. Although he caught one person, he did not expect that this person was very tight-lipped, and the clues were suddenly cut off here.

"Grandma will try to see you get married and have children."

Madam Gu immediately responded without giving in.

As they were talking, Nanny Li had already brought people to put the food on the table.

During the meal, Rong Xin walked in with a serious look on his face.

"Yes, is there any news about Xuan'er?"

When Mrs. Gu saw Rong Xin coming in, her heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.

Rong Xin did not answer directly, but looked at Gu Yanzhou and waited for him to speak.

"Just say it directly," Gu Yanzhou knew the old lady's temper and became suspicious, so he couldn't hide anything from her.

"Xu locked up the third young master and didn't give him any water for three consecutive days."

Rong Xin answered with a very grim expression.

It was just a coincidence today. Last time the old lady was drugged, the general arranged for people to go into the mansion to investigate and look for evidence. Today they happened to come to report the situation and reported this matter as well.

"What? She is such a cruel mother."

The old lady knew that Xu didn't like Xuan'er, but she didn't expect that she could be so cruel.

"What could Xuan'er have done to deserve such punishment from the Xu family?"

Jiang Nan couldn't help but speak when he heard this, not understanding why Xu was so cruel to her own son.

"Zhou'er, go prepare the carriage and come with me to the Marquis' Mansion."

The old lady immediately put down her chopsticks and decided to go and see for herself.

"Rong Xin, go and prepare."

Gu Yanzhou frowned.

If they ignored that kid Gu Huixuan, the Xu family might really starve him to death.

After Rong Xin left, Madam Gu was about to follow him out, but was stopped by Gu Yanzhou: "Grandma, Rong Xin will drive the carriage over soon, please wait here"

After hearing what Gu Yanzhou said, Mrs. Gu did not go out again. She was anxious and asked Nanny Li to help her to the door and wait.

"I'll go with you guys. We'll check him out when we get there. After all, he hasn't eaten for three days."

Gu Yanzhou nodded. While he was speaking, Rong Xin had already made arrangements and drove the carriage over.

The three of them got on the carriage and headed towards the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
