Chapter 409 Wife
"Plus a fine of three months' salary for each person."
The head of the Gu family looked up at the mermaid in the pond again, and his brows gradually frowned. Gu Zheng is the future heir of the Gu family. How can the head of the family's wife be a mermaid, and a toy sent here?
"As for this mermaid..."
For some reason, Gu Ci'an felt very nervous, and his hands unconsciously clenched the wet hem of his clothes.
Patriarch Gu pondered for a long time and spoke again: "Leave it to Ci'an, take it back to your own courtyard and deal with it."
Gu Ci'an responded, but at the same time, a barely perceptible look of joy flashed across the depths of his lowered eyes, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
Qin Ci'an gritted his teeth secretly. This was not his original intention. He had thought that he could keep Xiaoyu by his side naturally.
But now it seems that this wish has been dashed. Feeling unwilling, he was about to ask his father for help again, but when he looked up and saw his father's face full of disapproval, he swallowed the words back.
The center of the Gu family is the ancestral hall, which faces south and has a tall and heavy gate, with slightly mottled vermilion paint and a plaque hanging high above it.
"Master, Young Master Tang," the butler beside him seemed to be hesitant to speak.
The two men looked at the open door of the ancestral hall in front of them, and without any intention of making things difficult for the servants, they walked straight in.
Two cushions had already been placed in front of the tablet in the ancestral hall. After the two entered the ancestral hall, they knelt on the cushions.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. The sun shone through the window lattice into the ancestral hall, and the servant who came to sweep the ancestral hall opened the door as usual.
However, the scene before them made them so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths - Gu Ci'an and Qin Ci'an, who were fine yesterday, now appeared in the ancestral hall with scars and bruises on their faces!
The servants looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
Gu Ci'an and Qin Ci'an looked at each other again, sparks flying in their eyes.
"Don't tell anyone, got it?"
Qin Ci'an's voice was still a little hoarse and full of fatigue from a sleepless night. The servant beside him nodded tremblingly.
After all the guests left last night, Chu's "plaything" was placed in the pool in the courtyard where Gu Ci'an lived.
In the middle of the night, Chu Ziyu leaned against the edge of the pool, closed his eyes and took a nap, his tail stirring the water from time to time.
Gu Ci'an and his son lived in a three-courtyard house with a pool behind the main house. Old man Gu quietly walked out of the house, opened the porcelain bottle in his hand, poured it into the pool, then hid in the grass nearby and waited quietly.
Chu Ziyu woke up when the door was opened, but he did not move. He just wanted to see what Old Man Gu was going to do, and then he fell down beside the pond.
Old Man Gu saw that the mermaid was defenseless and was soon knocked unconscious.
He walked over, pulled out the sharp dagger in his arms, and cut Chu Ziyu's wrist. Blood dripped down and Old Man Gu caught it in a white porcelain bowl.
Before long, Old Man Gu successfully collected a small bowl full of food. The food in the small bowl looked bright red, and besides the fishy smell, it also gave off a faint smell of sea water.
After careful observation and estimation, Old Man Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief - this amount should be enough for the first time of refining blood medicine.
