Chapter 745 Gu Han’s Guests
Now Gu Qianning was completely unhappy. This was how it felt to be stopped outside. She felt suffocated, annoyed, dissatisfied, and extremely embarrassed!
Why was the elder sister-in-law allowed in yesterday, but today her younger sister can't? What the hell is the second brother doing!
I really don’t know how Atang managed to hold back his anger yesterday!
No wonder I sent my second brother to sleep in the study at night. He deserved it!
"Get out of the way! I don't care what kind of guests he meets, and what kind of guests I can't meet. If he even stops me, his own sister, I'll tear down his study tomorrow!"
Gu Qianning frowned, thinking that if she showed the aura of the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, she would be able to intimidate the guard, right?
But the guard remained motionless, his expression not changing. "Miss, you cannot enter. The Second Young Master has instructed that except for the Second Young Master's wife, no one else can enter."
When Gu Qianning heard that Shen Wantang could enter but no one else could, she felt a little better. She thought her second brother finally knew to give Wantang special treatment and that there was still hope.
But she still refused to accept it: "Then why was my sister-in-law able to enter yesterday? Why can't I enter when it's my turn? How am I worse than my sister-in-law?"
The guard's forehead was slightly sweaty. "Miss, I wasn't the one guarding the door yesterday. He let the eldest young lady in. But don't worry, the second young master has already made instructions. From now on, the eldest young lady, like everyone else, cannot enter his study at will."
"So, even if my sister-in-law came today, you would stop her?"
"Yes."
Gu Qianning nodded: "Okay then, I won't make it difficult for you. I won't go in. I'll just wait for my second brother outside."
She was not the kind of willful person. She knew that Gu Qianhan had been busy preparing for important events recently. The guests he invited into the Duke's Mansion must be people who played a vital role in the important events, so he did not let anyone in.
She had never come to the front yard to disturb Gu Qianhan before because she knew he was busy and under great pressure, and she didn't want to cause him trouble.
If he hadn't let Meng Yunlan in yesterday, making him seem very free, she wouldn't have come to see him today.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long. A quarter of an hour later, the study door opened.
She saw Gu Qianhan personally escorting a young man out. When she saw the man's face clearly, she was slightly stunned.
Isn’t this Feng Shuo, the son of Feng Qixing, Marquis of Ding’an?
The military power in the capital was mainly divided into two parts. One part was controlled by her father, Duke Zhenguo Gu Rongchang, and the other part was controlled by Marquis Ding'an Feng Qixing.
In recent years, because the emperor was wary of the Gu family, he repeatedly used various excuses to weaken the military power in Gu Rongchang's hands, and the weakened part was given to Feng Qixing.
Therefore, Feng Qixing, who originally had no prestige in the army, has seen his status rise rapidly in recent years and has reached the point where he can compete with Gu Rongchang.
Feng Qixing's only son, Feng Shuo, is a third-rank imperial guard, and is deeply trusted and relied upon by the emperor.
Not only could he walk freely in the palace with a sword, he could even execute people first and report later!
It is said that he inherited the martial arts talent of the Feng family, and was even better than his master. He was a martial arts genius. What's more, he was also very hardworking and not at all spoiled like a prince of a marquisate. Therefore, he had great martial arts skills at a young age and no one could get close to him.
His reputation in the capital was similar to Gu Qianhan's, he was also a cold-blooded and ruthless person. In fact, he was even more notorious because anyone in the palace, from concubines to maids and eunuchs, who dared to disrespect the emperor or had any ulterior motives, was killed by him.
Even some officials who entered the palace to meet the emperor and behaved disrespectfully were killed by him.
Although it was actually the emperor's intention, it was Feng Shuo who committed the murder. His hands were stained with blood, so many people in the capital cursed him behind his back, saying that he was a cruel executioner with no humanity.
However, people outside only dared to make a few small comments in private, and would never dare to go out and scold Feng Shuo openly. On weekdays, people talked more about Gu Qianhan.
Because Gu Qianhan is just cold-hearted, at most he would watch someone die without helping, but he would not kill people at will. You won't lose your head if you talk about him, and no one will even hold you accountable.
But Feng Shuo is not like that. He really kills people like crazy, and there are no consequences for his killings. The emperor will protect him.
Even though Gu Qianhan has an aunt who is the queen, her status and weight in front of the emperor are far less than Feng Shuo's.
Feng Shuo was naturally loyal to the emperor. If the emperor told him to go east, he would never go west. Even if the emperor told him to kill his own father, he would not frown.
Gu Qianning didn't understand why her second brother had called this person home. Could he be trying to bribe Feng Shuo? The person who could bribe Feng Shuo hadn't been born yet, hadn't he?
She looked at Feng Shuo, and Feng Shuo was also very alert and sharp, and looked over immediately.
Gu Qianning was startled by his sharp and cold eyes. She wanted to look away, but she felt as if she was guilty and it would inexplicably weaken the title of the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion. She could only bite the bullet, straighten her back, and continue to look at Feng Shuo.
But Feng Shuo obviously recognized her and knew that she posed no threat. The fierce look in his eyes disappeared, and he turned around and continued talking to Gu Qianhan.
Gu Qianning breathed a sigh of relief, but she was secretly complaining in her heart. Feng Shuo looked at her as if she were a dead person. Why was he so fierce?
This is in the Duke's Mansion, not in the palace. He looks like he's ready to kill someone at any time. No wonder no one in the entire capital dares to marry their daughter to him!
With his wolfish appearance, if a girl marries him alive on the first day, he will eat her alive on the second day. The girl's family will not get any advantage at all. All that awaits them is to collect their daughter's corpse!
However, although Feng Shuo was already in his twenties, he did not seem to have any plans to get married, and no one in the Ding'an Marquis's Mansion helped him to arrange this. His mother had died, and his father, the Ding'an Marquis, did not care about these things. He was obsessed with thinking about how to seize Gu Rongchang's military power every day.
While Gu Qianning was thinking about this, Gu Qianhan had already sent Feng Shuo to the third door.
"Second Young Master, please stay. I will take my leave."
Feng Shuo didn't let Gu Qianhan send him out of the gate of the Duke's Mansion. He only asked him to send him to the front yard, and then he left by himself.
Seeing him leave, Gu Qianning couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, why did you call Feng Shuo here? He's the imperial guard, aren't you afraid of him..."
She glanced at the guard not far away and swallowed the rest of her words.
But Gu Qianhan understood what she meant. He said calmly, "He was called here because he is the imperial guard."
Gu Qianning covered her mouth in shock. She asked in a very low voice, "Ah? You're not thinking of going through him... Is that even possible? He's loyal to the emperor, and everyone knows it! How could he possibly listen to you? Don't make things worse. If a vicious wolf like him bites us back, we're all doomed!"
