Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 238 8-character disagreement

At this moment, Chunhua and Qiushi were busy with their respective tasks.

Suddenly, they caught sight of the two marquises appearing together before them. They were terrified and hurriedly dropped their tools, rushing out in a panic.

"Old Marquis, Marquis..." Chunhua and Qiushi knelt down with a thud, their bodies trembling slightly, their voices stuttering with nervousness.

"Get up and speak!" Old Marquis Gu looked at the two of them with a serious expression and asked in a deep voice, "How is my grandson's health these days? Has it improved?"

Chunhua composed herself, stood up, and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the old Marquis, the Third Young Master... he is almost fully recovered."

After saying that, she secretly glanced at the old Marquis Gu's expression, silently praying that her answer would satisfy him.

However, after hearing this, Lord Gu did not show any relief; instead, he frowned slightly.

Looking around but not seeing the Third Young Master, he strode straight into the house without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Chunhua and Qiushi panicked instantly, because there was no trace of the Third Young Master in the room at all!

The two looked at each other, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads, thinking, "This is it, we're doomed!"

Standing to the side, Lord Gu discreetly observed the expressions of the two men. With his years of experience in judging people, he easily discerned the hidden ulterior motives between them.

However, he did not expose him on the spot, thinking to himself: I want to see what tricks this brat has up his sleeve this time.

Lord Gu was frantically searching the house, circling back and forth several times, but he still couldn't find Su Yue.

Left with no other choice, he went out of the house again and shouted at Chunhua Qiushi, "Where is he? Where is your third young master?"

Upon hearing this, Chunhua and Qiushi turned pale with fright and immediately knelt down, trembling.

Faced with Lord Gu's questioning, the two appeared flustered and stammered for a long time, unable to explain themselves clearly.

After all, they really had no idea where the Third Young Master was!

"Alas! This child is still ill." Old Marquis Gu sighed, his face full of worry.

He had no idea that Su Yue was actually forbidden by Lord Gu from stepping out of the Gu residence.

At this very moment, Su Yue, who should have been obediently staying in the courtyard to recuperate, not only did not listen to the rules, but also secretly slipped out to play.

This is undoubtedly a complete disregard for Lord Gu's words; it's utterly lawless!

Thinking of this, Lord Gu was filled with rage, feeling that he and that arrogant brat were incompatible from birth and clashed at every turn.

"Hmph! Father, you should go back with Uncle Cang first! After that brat returns, he can come to pay his respects to you." Lord Gu said apologetically to Grand Tutor Cang.

After exchanging a glance, Lord Gu and Grand Tutor Cang both shook their heads helplessly.

After all, the person in question wasn't there at the moment, so even if they were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.

So the two of them turned around and slowly left, leaving behind a somewhat lonely figure.

Upon seeing this, Lord Gu quickly summoned his trusted subordinates and instructed them, "You few stay here and guard the courtyard. If you spot that brat returning, bring him to me immediately."

After the men responded in unison, they quickly dispersed and hid around the courtyard.

After arranging everything, Lord Gu was so angry that his chest heaved. He snorted coldly, then strode away from the courtyard in a huff.

As he walked, he thought to himself: When that arrogant brat comes back, I'll teach him a lesson and see if he dares to act so recklessly again.

But what about Su Yue at this moment? She was having a great time in the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion, having long forgotten about returning to the manor.

There are all sorts of novel and interesting ways to play here, making her so happy that she didn't want to leave.

Meanwhile, another person was also frantic because he couldn't find Su Yue; this person was the owner of the teahouse.

Ever since Su Yue told that hodgepodge of stories on stage that day, he has been determined to find out her background and win her over.

To this end, he did not hesitate to send out many people to inquire about the situation, but to his disappointment, they all returned empty-handed without any results.

To make matters worse, there were an unusually large number of customers at the teahouse today, all eagerly anticipating the continuation of yesterday's story.

However, when the storyteller stepped onto the stage to begin his narration, he was mercilessly thrown off by the audience, who loudly demanded that he continue telling the story of what happened yesterday.

The poor teahouse owner, faced with this chaotic situation, was utterly devastated and on the verge of tears.

The people sent out were like a tide, one wave after another, but in the end, they all returned with faces full of disappointment.

Time passed quietly until night fell, and Su Yue, Dali, and Gu Yuan finally returned to the Gu residence just before curfew.

The moment they stepped into the courtyard, Su Yue's keen intuition immediately alerted her to something amiss—someone was there!

She quietly observed her surroundings without making a sound, and once she saw who it was, she knew exactly what was going on.

It turned out that the person was actually someone who was beside Lord Gu.

Upon seeing these people appear, Su Yue instantly understood the reason; they must have been discovered that she had secretly slipped out to play.

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and then slowly pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.

Upon seeing this, Chunhua and Qiushi, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

The two looked tense and their faces were not very good.

Chunhua bit her lip and said to Su Yue in a low voice, "Third Young Master, the Marquis... came today. We really couldn't stop him, so... please punish him."

Upon hearing this, Su Yue nodded gently, indicating her understanding, and did not punish the two.

She knew that Chunhua and Qiushi were not to blame for this, after all, how could they, with their status, possibly stop the powerful and influential Lord Gu?

Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Third Young Master, the Marquis requests your presence. Please come over here." A young man dressed in a dark blue tight-fitting robe strode out, approached, clasped his hands in a respectful bow to the person before him, and said.

"Okay, okay!" Su Yue replied casually, not showing much concern.

Turning to look at Gu Yuan, who was somewhat drunk and staggering beside him, he then turned to Dali behind him and instructed, "Dali, help Gu Yuan back to his room to rest. I'll be right back."

Although Su Yue was not yet drunk, the strong scent of perfume on her body was mixed with a faint smell of alcohol.

And so, Su Yue was led toward Lord Gu's study.
