When Gu Fang returned to the General's Mansion, the sky was already faintly pale.

The mansion was as quiet as usual, only the housekeeper and a few servants who got up early had already started their day's work.

But Gu Fang knew what kind of undercurrents were lurking under this calm.

"Little General, what's the matter with you?" Uncle Fu couldn't help asking when he saw his distressed appearance, "Master and Madam are waiting for you in the study. morning."

"Nothing, go get busy!" Gu Fang waved his hand.

"Go and wash up first before going to see the second elder." Su Yanqing said.

When Gu Fang went to take a shower and change clothes, Su Yanqing was standing guard outside the screen, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Brother, it's okay for you to guard outside the door. You have to be separated from me by a screen... I'm really embarrassed."

"Are you still embarrassed? Do you think I want to stay here?" Su Yanqing glared, and he was heartbroken because of them.

It's not that he has to guard, it's that he thinks that with Gu Fang's behavior, it is absolutely possible to escape through the window.

Before Gu Fang got out of the tub, Jiang Tong knocked on the door.

"Brother Gu, are you okay?" Jiang Tong knocked twice outside and asked, "Uncle Gu said he asked me to call you over, and that they knew you were back. If you dare to run quietly, you will be beaten if he catches you." break your leg."

Gu Fang's knee suddenly hurt, and he did what he did, one by one guarding him like guarding against thieves.

If he made a mistake in other things, running away or something, it might happen, but in this matter, he will not evade.

"Come right away." Gu Fang said as he stood up from the tub, took his clothes and put them on.

On the way to the study, Gu Fang frowned and pursed his lips, as if he was going to die. Jiang Tong beside him couldn't help worrying about him: "Brother Gu, will Uncle Gu beat you?"

The heroic image he had just pretended to be broken in an instant, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "How old am I, can I still be beaten by my father?"

"Oh." Jiang Tong nodded, and said again, "You are really too careless, the box is not locked, just put it on the table, whoever goes in easily will find it."

"Unlocked?" Gu Da was shocked.

Thinking back carefully, he was about to go to the palace after drinking a little wine, but he remembered that Jun Ruohan said he wanted that 'Yuanyuan Bihe', so he went back to the study to get it.

He was afraid of taking it by mistake, so he opened both boxes, and finally took one away.

As for whether the remaining one has a lock or not, I really have no impression at all.

But since he was discovered so easily, he must have unlocked it.

"By the way, why did my father suddenly come to the mansion in the middle of the night?" Gu Fang asked, who would have thought that when the father came back in the middle of the night, he would find it by chance.

"I heard from Uncle Fu that it's because of Miss Lin." Jiang Tong said.

"Miss Lin?" Why did it involve Miss Lin again?

"It's because you deliberately pretended to be lame in front of people, so they refused this marriage." Jiang Tong just heard Uncle Fu mention it casually. As for who this Miss Lin is and what kind of relationship she has with Gu Fang, he But don't know anything.

"I didn't mean to, I'm just lame." Gu Fang said, and walked two steps with a limp.

In the end, Su Yanqing slapped him on the back of the head: "Is it itchy? After a while, Uncle Gu will scratch you."

While talking, the three of them had already arrived at the door of the study.

Although it was almost dawn, the candles were still flickering inside.

Gu Fang could even imagine that the room was lit up in the middle of the night for a whole night, and the two old men didn't close their eyes all night in it.

He suddenly felt that he was very unfilial.

"Go in!" Su Yanqing said.

Gu Fang wanted to knock on the door, but felt that something heavy had fallen from his hand, and he couldn't lift it up.

"Knock on the door for me." He felt a little short of breath.

Su Yanqing took a deep look at him, reached out and knocked lightly on the door twice.

"Come in."

It was his mother's voice, but apart from tiredness, there was no other emotion in the voice.

But the more this happened, the more worried and frightened Gu Fang became.

Su Yanqing flirted with him, and Gu Fang took a deep breath, pressed his palm on the door, and with force, the door opened.

Watching him walk in, Jiang Tong stood in the corridor and looked at Su Yanqing: "He will be fine!"

"That depends on whether he wants to die." Su Yanqing said.

The two stood there and turned to look at the raindrops ticking on the eaves, both worried about the people inside.

Gu Fang has used this study for so long, and it has long been regarded as his own territory, but he is still apprehensive in his own territory, this is the first time.

It seemed that this was not his familiar office and reading place, but some kind of Hades Hall.

So he deliberately slowed down.

It's just that no matter how slow he walked, the distance from the door to the inside was only a few tens of steps away. By the time he realized it, he had already passed through the glass curtain.

He stopped on his toes, and he could even feel the shaking curtain touching his back, but he didn't take a step forward, looking at the second elder sitting at the table from a distance.

"Father, mother..." Gu Fang only took one look and then lowered his head, not daring to look closely at the expressions on the faces of the two.

"Resign from office."

It took a long time for Gu Huan to speak, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, probably because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Gu Fang looked up at his father, his face was terribly cold, and his words were full of undeniable desire.

"Father..." he whispered.

"I'm not discussing with you, I have explained clearly to the Lin family, we will get married as soon as you resign from the office." Gu Huan said forcefully.

"Father?" Gu Fang really panicked now, and said anxiously, "I won't marry Miss Lin."

"Then who do you want to marry?" Gu Huan suddenly made an attack and smashed the tea bowl on the table.

Regardless of whether he hurt someone or not, he stared at him: "Marry your little brother?"

Gu Fang didn't dare to hide, and let the tea bowl hit his forehead firmly.

Jiang Tong outside the door heard the commotion and couldn't help but looked back at the closed door worriedly, and said in a low voice, "Master Prime Minister, Brother Gu...is he really all right? It seems...a fight has started inside!"

"Don't worry, he has the guts, and he doesn't dare to fight with his father." Su Yanqing said calmly, "It's just that his crime this time is more serious than the previous twenty years combined. As long as he doesn't die, it's fine." fine."

Gu Fang is going to leave in the end, I just hope he can hold on.

"Brother Gu, you are very powerful." Jiang Tong said suddenly.

"Huh?" Su Yanqing turned his head to look at the young man beside him, and felt that he seemed to have grown up a lot compared to when he lived in his house, and his face was even tougher.

"How dare he like the emperor, the high and mighty son of heaven." Jiang Tong said, eyes full of envy.

"He has been lawless since he was a child." Speaking of Gu Fang when he was a child, Su Yanqing couldn't help but smile, "Although he always knows how to assess the situation in front of others, he never dares to provoke people who can't be provoked. But once he If you decide to do something, you can’t stop it no matter what.”

"When he was young, he made an appointment with someone to go to the brothel for the first time. He was probably about your age at that time. Uncle Gu found out about it. Uncle Gu beat him up and locked him in the room. As a result... that guy With a big bruised nose and a swollen face, he quietly climbed to the window. Sometimes, he is quite a person to beat." Su Yanqing sighed.

Jiang Tong listened very seriously, imagining the scene for a while, thinking it was funny but happy for him, this kind of unrestrained and unrestrained life is life...

The sticky liquid flashed past the corners of the eyes in an instant, but Gu Fang didn't blink.

He could feel his mother move when his father threw the tea bowl, but she didn't speak after all.

"Since you've all seen it, I won't hide it from you." Gu Fang wiped his eyes, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "I know I shouldn't do this, and I don't want to..."

"However, it's not that I said I shouldn't think about it, so it won't happen."

"You...you like men, but whoever you like, who is that? That's the Son of Heaven above ten thousand people!" Old lady Gu finally couldn't help but make a sound.

Gu Fang raised his eyes to look at her mother, his mother was always a big woman, never sentimental, secretly wiped her tears, if there was anything unsatisfactory, she just went to his father to vent.

Suffering is always suffered by others, and I can't bear half a grievance.

But at this moment, when he saw her red eyes and bloodshot eyes, he suddenly wanted to go up and hug her.

"Mother, if it's possible, I don't want him to be the one I like." Gu Fang's nose was sour, and his eyes were a little hot, "But I'm an ordinary person, and I can't control my emotions and desires. I've known since I was a teenager. I like him, and I tried all kinds of ways to refuse, but in the end I couldn't succeed."

"Teens, teenagers, you know shit, do you know what liking is?" Gu Huan became furious when he heard his unrepentant words, and almost broke the table with a slap.

"I just know, I like him, like a mirror in my heart." Gu Fang straightened his body and retorted, "Father, do you know that when I was about to be burned to death in Dayuling, he was the one who desperately tried to save me?" I..."

"Our Gu family can repay his life-saving grace by repaying him by making a horse knot and grass ring, but we will never let you make mistakes." Mrs. Gu said earnestly.

"He didn't save me to make the Gu family feel grateful to him. He just likes me."

"Shut up." Gu Huan roared angrily when he saw that his words were becoming more and more unpleasant, "It seems that you don't intend to change."

"Father, what did you tell me I did wrong?" Gu Fang looked straight at his father without the slightest fear, "I like him, and I didn't kill or set fire, so why is it so heinous in your eyes?"

"Fang'er..." Mrs. Gu couldn't help shedding tears when she saw his stubborn attitude, "You really want our lives."
