Quick Wear: The bad female supporting role, the male protagonist prefers
Chapter 251 Becoming the male protagonist's ex-wife? She directly recruits a son-in-law (25)
The general did not take Mr. Gu's greetings and compliments to heart, and did not hide his disdain for Mr. Gu at all. When he saw Wang Xiangrong, he drew his sword.
The sword pointed at the back of Master Gu's neck, clearly intent on killing. Wang Xiangshao frowned, flew forward, and grasped the back of the sword with one hand, "General Xu, you are too rude. You actually want to assassinate my father-in-law!"
Mr. Gu's hand trembled. He turned around and saw that his son-in-law was holding a sword pointing straight at him. The owner of the sword had a cold murderous look in his eyes, which made Mr. Gu's legs tremble.
He first left the vicinity of the two people, intending to hide himself beside an inconspicuous potted plant, but he saw the guards not far from the potted plant.
They were in cahoots with the general who wanted to kill him. He quietly moved away, looked left and right, and felt that it was safer to stay with his son-in-law. He carefully hid behind Wang Xiangshao without saying a word.
"Your Majesty?"
General Xu couldn't believe it. He was trying to help Prince He get rid of this shame, so why would Prince He stop him?
General Xu looked at the master as if he were a sycophant. How could a low-ranking businessman be worthy of being called the prince's father-in-law?
Gu Shutang, who happened to be coming over with her adoptive mother, Madam Gu, saw everything. She brought Madam Gu to Wang Xiangshao and said, "The prince is really very angry. Not only did he not want to part ways with us, he even wanted to kill my whole family!"
"Tang'er, I don't have any."
Wang Xiangshao smiled bitterly and said to General Xu:
"What's the matter? I've only been away from the capital for a few days. Is it that your words are no longer effective?"
Gu Shutang did not comment on Wang Xiangshao's denial. She knew that it was not his order. She just wanted to take advantage of the situation to make this arrogant general give up his idea.
General Xu took a look at Gu Shutang, whose belly was getting bigger, and saw her ordering Prince He around. He thought she must be the woman who wanted the prince to marry into his family.
He saw her big belly and thought the situation was a bit tricky. After all, the baby she was carrying was of royal blood...
"Yes, but..."
General Xu was hesitant. Before he came, His Majesty had hinted that anyone who insulted the royal family would be killed without mercy, but there was no clear order, so it was difficult to explain to Prince Heqin.
"But what? It can't be that His Majesty ordered you to do it? His Majesty is a benevolent emperor who loves his people like his own children. How could he kill his own people?"
"Madam, you are absolutely right. Your Majesty is diligent in his work and loves his people. He has no intention of harming innocent people."
Seeing this, General Xu stopped talking. He was just a minister. His Majesty was the king to Prince He, and Prince He, as a member of the royal family, was also the king to him. His Majesty had not issued any clear decree, but everything was his guess.
If Your Majesty does not mean this, and he makes enemies with Prince He, his entire family will probably suffer.
"I am obsessed with appearances."
General Xu bowed his head to Wang Xiangshao.
"General Xu, it's great that you admit your mistakes and can improve. However, next time, please don't be so aggressive and call for killing. It's not good to have too much evil in your heart."
Gu Shutang glanced at Wang Xiangshao sideways, slapped away his outstretched claws, and looked like a man who said, "Don't get close to me."
When Wang Xiangrong saw that General Xu was going to attack the Gu family who had taken him in, his heart turned cold in an instant. Even though General Xu was the emperor's confidant, he still looked hateful when he saw him.
"Aunt is right. General Xu, your actions are indeed inappropriate and too violent."
"My aunt and her family took me and my uncle in, and they've done me a favor. How could you repay that kindness with hatred and attack the Gu family?"
"Yes, Your Highness, you are right. I am wrong. After returning to the capital, I will personally appear before Your Majesty to accept my punishment."
It is better to be punished by His Majesty than to be punished by the extremely harsh Prince He for finding faults. Thinking of the well-known criminal laws of the Dali Temple headed by Prince He, even General Xu couldn't help but shudder.
Seeing that Prince He and the eldest prince both valued the Gu family equally, General Xu thought of his recent murderous intention towards the Gu family and was afraid that someone who was dissatisfied with Prince He would use the Gu family as a warning to others and then put the blame on him.
He boldly suggested, "To prevent someone from targeting the Gu family, why not have my people protect the Gu family until your steward arrives with his men?"
"No need."
Wang Xiangshao did not trust the General Xu in front of him. Since he could be found, the housekeeper in his mansion had already known that his life was safe, and he was just pretending to come here.
The men brought by the butler were all ordinary martial artists, and their skills were far inferior to the secret guards who followed him to ambush in Ancheng. He was not at ease to let them be responsible for the safety of the Gu Mansion.
Wang Xiangshao turned his head to look at Gu Shutang's face, which was cold and indifferent, as if all this had nothing to do with her. He felt a little panicked.
Only if you don't care can you be so calm.
He inexplicably remembered what she had said when she came in, about parting ways, and his heart ached. No, he didn't want to part ways with her.
He felt unprecedented panic and wild thoughts about Gu Shutang's matter. Ignoring the many people present, he apologized to Gu Shutang in a low voice.
"Tang'er, I'm sorry. I didn't know he was such a vicious person. If I had known he wanted to attack my father-in-law, I would definitely not have brought him in."
"Can you forgive me this time?"
Gu Shutang's face became increasingly cold. "What are you talking about, Your Highness? This matter has nothing to do with Your Highness."
Although Wang Xiangshao was hurt by Gu Shutang calling him "Prince" all the time, he was very happy to hear these words.
She still thought of him and believed in him.
But the next moment, his expression changed like the changeable weather in early spring, from bright sunshine to thunder and lightning.
"Since the prince and the eldest prince are returning to the capital, it would be best to set off immediately, lest anyone learn of your whereabouts along the way."
"Gu Shutang, do you really want me to leave?"
Gu Shutang's expression remained unchanged. "You and I are not from the same kind of people. If you hadn't fallen on hard times, we would never have met."
"Now everything is just getting back on track!"
"Am I, your husband, so worthless in your heart?"
Wang Xiangshao's face turned pale.
"Well, as you wish, Xiang Rong, let's go!"
Gu Shutang chuckled, and the look she gave him was as gentle as ever, which made Wang Xiangshao's eyes sting.
Wang Xiangshao paid too much attention to Zhang Jialiang. Even though she repeatedly emphasized not to harm Zhang Jialiang's life, she still attacked Zhang Jialiang behind his back many times.
Zhang Jialiang could bear it once or twice, but if it happened too many times, he might lose his life.
Instead of letting him feel resentful towards Zhang Jialiang and worry about Zhang Jialiang's life all day long, it is better to find him something to calm down.
When Wang Xiangshao left with the guards, he took a deep look at Gu Shutang, who was seeing him off at the Gu Mansion as if nothing had happened, as if he wanted to remember the person firmly in his heart.
