Spring comes to the desperate place

"Oh, right, right, right. We paid a huge price to hire the best assassin. Gu Fengyue was chased into the mountains. Everyone around him is dead. Even if he's not seriously injured, he must have starved to death, right?"

"Humph, you're still starving. Why don't you come back safely?"

"Old Six is wrong. If Gu Fengyue wasn't injured, why would he arrange for a doctor to come and treat him? And Gu Fengyun has been staying at home these past few days. Could it be that the news of his brother's injury has caused his old illness to relapse?"

The person who spoke was the fourth brother from before. Everyone listened to his words and felt that there was some truth in them, so someone suggested going to the house to express their condolences and discuss the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion. If the two brothers were both bedridden, wouldn't that be God's help for them?

"We need to think about this matter carefully. We have been going to the Marquis' Mansion every day these days. Do you think Gu Fengyun has ever opened the door for us?"

"Humph, you ignorant boy, there will always be a time when they will beg us for help!"

The Gu brothers had no idea that these branches of the Gu family were already plotting how to divide up their property. Gu Fengyue entered the capital under the cover of night and took Lord Gu's badge, and the imperial guards immediately let him in. Gu Fengyun was already waiting in the front hall, and seeing his brother coming to him unharmed, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, come and let me see, where are you hurt?"

Gu Fengyun felt his brother up and down and found out that the bones in his right foot had not fully grown and he walked with a limp. He immediately panicked and wanted to find a doctor.

"Someone, go and call all the doctors. Oh, and the imperial physician. Go, take my badge and go to the palace to invite Dr. Lin over."

Seeing this, Gu Fengyue quickly comforted his brother: "Brother, don't panic, I'm much better now. Doctor Lu has examined me on the way. He said that as long as I take good care of myself, I will be fully recovered in no time."

Gu Fengyun was a little bit unbelievable: "Really? Did the doctor really say that?"

Gu Fengyue helped her brother sit on the chair: "Of course it's true. But you, brother, have you had a good rest during this period? Have the people in other rooms irritated you?"

Speaking of other members of the Gu family, Gu Fengyun waved his hand helplessly: "You just returned to Beijing safely, so don't mention those people who spoiled the fun."

Sure enough, that group of traitorous bastards must have come to the Marquis' Mansion, maybe more than once. Thinking of the purpose of his trip and the brothers who lost their lives for it, Gu Fengyue felt a pain in his heart.

"Brother, those brothers who were worthy of me are all gone." Gu Fengyue's voice was soft, but the words he spoke hit the hearts of everyone present.

Gu Fengyun was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Brother, I know. I have arranged for people to settle their families. As for those who don't have families yet, brother has also sent people to build cenotaphs for them."

"The dead cannot be resurrected. What we need to do now is to find the culprit and comfort their souls in heaven."

Gu Fengyue had no objection to Lord Gu's arrangement. Seeing that it was already very late, he noticed that his brother had a look of fatigue between his brows. He suddenly thought of the water bag that the Song family had packed for him. At that time, Song Qin had also told him to drink a sip when he felt tired. Suddenly, a very absurd idea arose in his mind, so he asked someone to get his water bag.

Lord Gu was confused: "There is tea at home. The weather is getting cold. Don't drink cold water. You may get a stomachache."

Gu Fengyue took her brother's hand and acted coquettishly: "Brother, do you believe in your brother?"

"What are you talking about? Of course I believe you..."

Before Gu Fengyun finished speaking, Gu Fengyue immediately smiled mysteriously: "Just trust me, you will understand later."

Gu Fengyun was completely confused by what he said. When Gu Fengyue brought the water bag, he immediately poured out the tea in his brother's cup. This extravagant move made the housekeeper standing next to him twitch his mouth.

The cup of the Marquis contains tribute tea worth a thousand gold coins. If the Second Young Master had not come back, the Marquis would not be willing to drink it. The Second Young Master's return would cost him hundreds of taels of silver.

But Gu Fengyun wouldn't mind this. He has loved his younger brother since he was young. Pouring him some tea was nothing. Even if his younger brother poured him a full cup of cold water, he would still drink it.

The steward wanted to stop him, saying that the Marquis' body couldn't bear to drink cold water. If the Second Young Master drank a full bowl of cold water, wouldn't he get a stomachache?

However, to everyone's surprise, after drinking the glass of cold water, Gu Fengyun did not feel cold. Instead, a warm current rose from his dantian. Gu Fengyun had been ill for a long time and had not felt this comfortable and warm for a long time.

Gu Fengyue looked at his brother's expression and knew clearly that the water must be useful. Gu Fengyun held out the cup and indicated that he wanted more.

"Come on, give me another glass. This water tastes quite sweet." Gu Fengyun didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that after drinking this glass, he felt much more energetic. He hadn't had a good sleep these days because of his brother's affairs, and he had been forcing himself to stay awake to greet his brother just now.

After Gu Fengyun finished the second glass of water, he felt that his head was much lighter. His chest, which had been stuffy, seemed to have been unloaded with a huge stone, and his breathing became much smoother.

Gu Fengyun looked at the water bag in his brother's hand and asked with some surprise: "Where did you get this water? It tastes good. Do you have any more?"

Gu Fengyue shook his head. He was still unsure about his brother's attitude towards the Song family. As for the Song family, he didn't know where the Song family got the water from. What if they had already drunk it all? Wouldn't that disappoint his brother?

Gu Fengyun was not surprised to know that there was no water left. He naturally would not tell everyone about the specialness of the water in front of everyone, so he arranged for his brother to go back and rest, and he returned to his own yard. The housekeeper followed him worriedly, fearing that he was feeling unwell.

"I'm fine. You can go down and rest too. Don't worry. I know my own body very well."

The steward went back worriedly, preparing to get up early the next day to serve.

The Song family stayed in the Gu family's villa that night. Even until Song Dazhuang lay on the bed, he still felt a little bit unbelievable. They actually came to the capital like this?

A few months ago, this was something they would not even dare to think about.

"That's great." Song Qin suddenly said.

Song Dazhuang: "What's so good?"

"I say, it's really good now. If we were still following the villagers, we might still be on the way."

Speaking of the villagers, Song Dazhuang fell silent. The tragedy before they left that day still seemed to be fresh in front of his eyes. Who would have known that more than a month had passed in the blink of an eye? A month ago, they fled into the mountains in a panic. At that time, they never thought that they would be able to live such a good life as they do today.
