Mother and son join forces to abuse the scum to seize power and fight for the family property!

Su Yuan looked Gu Yu up and down and saw that he looked much stronger than the last time they met. She knew that Gu Yu was living well in Duke Li's Mansion.

Su Yuan touched Gu Yu's face distressedly, "As long as everything is fine, the days ahead will only get better and better."

She would never let Gu Yu live the hard life he had before.

Gu Yu's life will only get better and better in the future, and the person who inherits the title of Marquis of Zhennan can only be Gu Yu.

Gu Yu nodded, "Yu'er understands."

Zhou Tao, who was standing by, watched the two interact with a complicated look in her eyes.

Gu Yu is actually a snob. He smiles at Su Yuan, the wife of Marquis Zhennan, but is cold to her.

It's not good for a child to be so snobbish.

"Has Yu'er been wronged in the academy?" Su Yuan continued to ask.

Gu Yu shook his head, "No! Madam, don't worry, I can take care of myself."

He had the support of his adoptive father and became friends with Sima Ziyue, so no one in the academy dared to bully him.

Even Gu Huan could only be suppressed by him.

Su Yuan smiled dotingly, "If you've been wronged, you must tell the Duke, don't keep it to yourself, understand?"

Gu Yu told Cheng Lang, and Cheng Lang would naturally tell her.

She just wanted Gu Yu to understand that he was not alone and that he had her as his mother.

As a mother, she will definitely protect him.

If she were to give her a little more time, she would bring Gu Yu back to the Gu family openly.

Gu Yu nodded obediently, "Yu'er understands!"

Su Yuan wanted to hug Gu Yu, but because Zhou Tao was beside her, she couldn't show it too obviously.

In the end, she just patted Gu Yu's shoulder and didn't reach out to hug him.

The two talked for a while before Su Yuan took Zhou Tao away.

As soon as she got on the carriage, Zhou Tao couldn't wait to ask, "Cousin, why...you seem to like Duke Li's adopted son very much?"

Su Yuan was so gentle just now, even a fool could see that Su Yuan had special feelings for Gu Yu!

But why is Su Yuan so nice to Gu Yu?

If Su Yuan was not married yet, it would be understandable why she was nice to Gu Yu.

But Su Yuan is already the wife of Marquis Zhennan, and she is not qualified to be the wife of Duke Li.

There is no benefit for Su Yuan in trying to please Gu Yu.

"Who wouldn't like a well-behaved and sensible child? Does Taoer hate the young master?" Su Yuan asked back.

Zhou Tao: ...

Of course she didn't hate Gu Yu! Even if she did, she would just keep this dislike secretly in her heart.

"How could that be? I just think my cousin's wife cares too much about the young master." Zhou Tao explained.

Su Yuan didn't say anything more. If Zhou Tao was not around, she would definitely remind Gu Yu to take good care of himself.

She will be leaving Kyoto for some time.

When she comes back, we can close the net.

Zhou Tao looked up at Su Yuan and mustered up the courage to ask, "Cousin, do you think the Duke would like me? Do I have a chance of becoming the wife of Duke Li?"

Cheng Lang was too cold, so she didn't dare to take the initiative rashly. She was afraid that Cheng Lang would kill her if he got unhappy. Wouldn't that be a big loss for her?

Gu Qingqing couldn't help her in the palace, and the only one who could help her become the wife of Duke Li was Su Yuan.

As long as Su Yuan can help her, she will definitely repay Su Yuan.

Su Yuan: ...

"Cousin, it's not that I don't want to help you, but... Duke Li and I have no friendship at all, so I really can't do anything.

Duke Li didn't kick you and me out this time because of the Empress. Otherwise...

"Cousin, I really can't help you." Su Yuan sighed and said helplessly.
