Jackie Chan's Son-in-Law

Chapter 7: Revenge on the Spot!

Chen Qing didn't take Master Gu's harsh words to heart.

If he were still in the Chen family in Huzhou Prefecture, then the Gu family would be his only option to escape from home. But now that he has already left, he is a different story.

After being beaten like that, he was already taking a wait-and-see approach towards the Gu family.

After seeing off Master Gu, Young Master Chen flipped through a few books. Feeling quite bored, he lay down on the bed shortly after dark and quickly fell asleep.

Sleeping here is actually more reassuring than sleeping at the Chen family's house.

The next morning, Chen Qing was still asleep when he heard a commotion outside. He rubbed his eyes, stretched, and as soon as he reached the door and opened it, he saw his maid, Xiao Yue, standing at the door with hot water and towels for washing.

"Young master, you're awake?"

Chen Qing glanced at her, then at the man standing not far behind her, seemingly watching his room. Chen Qing didn't think much of it and just smiled and said, "I've been staying here for a while now, and this is the first time Miss Xiaoyue has brought me hot water."

Xiaoyue was Miss Gu's personal maid, and they were like sisters. Naturally, her status in the Gu family was not low. At least, she would never be the one to do the job of washing Chen Qing's face.

So, there must be a reason why she came.

Xiaoyue carried the water into the room, then glanced back at the person standing outside the door and snorted, "Isn't it my duty to bring you water to wash your face, young master?"

Chen Qing followed her gaze and saw a man not far from his door with his head down, not saying a word.

Young Master Chen looked at the man, then back at Xiaoyue, stroked his chin, and understood.

Xiaoyue is probably just here to watch the fun.

As for what this excitement is about…

You'll find out soon.

Chen Qing wasn't in a hurry. He simply took the basin of hot water from Xiaoyue and slowly washed his face, without even glancing at the person outside. As he washed his face, he asked with a smile, "Who is this person outside?"

Xiaoyue glanced at it, then turned her back so that no one outside could see her speaking, and whispered, "Gu Shouyi, the master's cousin."

She paused, then said, "The man next to him is Gu Shouzhou, our family's young master nephew."

Chen Qing wiped the water off his face, turned his head and looked again, only to see that not far from the man, there was another person watching him intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Qing said "Oh," and then said with a smile, "You've come to watch the fun?"

"What's so interesting about this spectacle?"

Xiaoyue snorted: "These people are ostensibly bullying the young master, but they're not really bullying him at all. They're clearly bullying the young lady!"

She gritted her teeth slightly and whispered, "They're taking advantage of my husband because he doesn't have a son!"

Young Master Chen put the handkerchief down and said with a smile, "I was the one who got hit, and I'm not even angry yet, but you're the one who's angry first."

As Xiaoyue spoke, her eyes reddened. She wiped away her tears, looked up at Chen Qing, and said, "They've been waiting for you all morning, young master. I guess the master got angry and they want to get a soft word from you so they can get out of here."

She came here specifically to remind Chen Qing of this.

In fact, Chen Qing didn't need her reminder; he saw the matter clearly and understood it at a glance.

Compared to his aunt's methods, these Gu family scions hoping to "eat the spoils of a childless family" were far more naive.

Chen Qing sat down and said with a smile, "Let's ignore them. I'm hungry. Miss Xiaoyue, could you go and get me some food?"

Xiaoyue frowned, then seemed to understand something, and whispered, "Young Master, in the Gu family compound, you don't need to be afraid of them. Just say what you need to say."

"Why should we be afraid of them?"

Chen Qing smiled and said, "I'm a little hungry. I'll eat first and then talk to them."

Xiaoyue had no choice but to go out, bow her head, and call him "Young Master Nephew." Then she walked past the two people and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Chen Qing.

After a while, she brought back breakfast and delivered it to Chen Qing's room. Young Master Chen asked her if she wanted to eat together. After seeing Xiaoyue shake her head, he slowly sat down and began to enjoy his breakfast.

He ate very slowly, taking almost half an hour to finish his breakfast. During this time, the two people outside the door could no longer contain themselves. One of them had walked to Chen Qing's door several times, but forcibly restrained himself.

By the time Young Master Chen elegantly wiped his mouth, stood up, and walked out of the room, the two men's expressions were already quite unpleasant. However, one of them still stepped forward, forced a smile, and cupped his hands, saying, "Greetings, Young Master Chen."

Chen Qing glanced at him, then gave a perfunctory bow: "And you are?"

"My name is Gu Shouzhou."

Gu Shouzhuo smiled and said, "He is Pan'er's cousin."

Chen Qing had already learned that Miss Gu's given name contained the character "Pan" in the past few days. Upon hearing this, he said "Oh," and then said, "So it's Brother Gu. Brother Gu, you've come to my place so early in the morning. May I ask what brings you here?"

Gu Shouzhou turned to look at Gu Shouyi behind him, coughed, and Gu Shouyi gritted his teeth, stepped forward and knelt down in front of Chen Qing with a thud, bowing his head deeply: "Young Master Chen." Chen Qing looked at Gu Shouyi kneeling in front of him, narrowed his eyes, his gaze already somewhat unfriendly, but he did not make a move.

With a smile on his face, Gu Shouzhou said, "Young Master Chen, my brother is named Shouyi. I don't know where he heard some rumors, but he has some misunderstandings about you. As a result, some unpleasantness has occurred these past few days. I brought him here today to ask for your understanding."

Gu Shouzhou smiled apologetically and said, "Let's clear up the misunderstanding."

Chen Qing frowned: "I wonder what misunderstanding has led to this? Is he worthy of such a generous gift from Brother Gu?"

Gu Shouyi stammered, his head bowed, unable to speak.

Gu Shouzhou stepped forward, tugged at Chen Qing's sleeve, and said with a smile, "He heard that Third Uncle had guests at his house, and he thought you were an imposter..."

Chen Qing said "Oh," as if suddenly realizing something.

"I understand now. That day on the street, he was the one who hired people to beat me up."

"Yes."

Gu Shouzhou coughed and sighed, "The mistake has been made, and my brother regrets it too late."

He looked at Chen Qing and said, "After all, it won't be long before we're family, and we'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future."

These words seem to be hinting at something, both overtly and covertly.

Seeing Chen Qing's calm expression, Gu Shouzhou thought Chen Qing hadn't understood and was about to continue speaking when suddenly, his eyes widened!

Before our eyes, the seemingly refined young master of a civil official rolled up his sleeves, strode forward, and kicked Gu Shouyi hard in the face without hesitation!
Although Chen Qing's body is still somewhat weak, he has generally recovered to the level of an ordinary person. His kick, delivered in anger, knocked Gu Shouyi to the ground!
Young Master Chen rolled up his sleeves, mounted Gu Shouyi, and delivered a powerful punch to his face!

As he hit her, he shouted angrily, "You bitch!"

"How dare you send someone to harm your young master!"

He punched Gu Shouyi in the face, gritting his teeth, "You son of a bitch!"

"If anything were to happen to me, would your life be enough to compensate? Even arresting your entire family and sending all the women in your household to the brothel wouldn't be enough!"

Chen Qing is the son of the prefect. If he were a normal son of a prefect, it would be perfectly natural for him to say such things, and there would be no problem with it.

Gu Shouzhou, who was standing to the side, was stunned. After Chen Qing threw several punches in a row and Gu Shouyi screamed in pain, he finally reacted and rushed forward to pull Chen Qing away, grabbing his arm.

He was both shocked and furious: "Young Master Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Qing stopped, and Gu Shouyi, who was beneath him, hurriedly got up, took several steps back, and then turned around to look at Chen Qing, his eyes already red with anger.

Chen Qing was being grabbed, but he wasn't afraid at all. He sneered, "Come on!"

Gu Shouzhou, standing to the side, angrily said, "Young Master Chen, we brothers came here to clear up the misunderstanding with you, and you..."

Chen Qing turned to look at him, pulled her hand away from his, and wiped the blood from her hands: "What? He's allowed to hit me, but I can't hit him?"

"Is the Gu family really this domineering?"

Gu Shouzhou said with a dark face, "He has already apologized to you!"

"I do not accept."

Chen Qing sneered, "Or, I'll beat you up too, and then I'll apologize to you?"

"This is the Gu family home!"

Gu Shouzhou was furious. He shouted, "How dare you be so insolent!"

He wanted to say, "You're just a son-in-law who moved in with his wife's family," but he held back in the end.

Young Master Chen showed no weakness and turned to walk into the house.

“Since it’s your Gu family, then go tell Uncle Gu that I’m packing my bags and leaving right now.”

"besides."

Young Master Chen stopped and turned to look at the Gu brothers, giving them a fierce glare.

“I hold grudges, and you guys inexplicably sent someone to beat me up.”
