Xixi quickly drew another basin of water and delivered it to Gu Wu, who cursed her thoroughly, leaving the pretentious beggar shivering with anger.
Gu Wu washed himself clean and chose what he thought was a very luxurious outfit to wear, only then did he step out the door.
After hearing the news about Erya and Sanbao, he decided to visit Erya’s Fish Manor today. On one hand, he genuinely missed his own children, and on the other, after hearing Chancellor Zhang bragging about the delicious fish and booming business there, saying that they earned heaps of silver every year.
Gu Wu listened with eyes gleaming.
Even if Gu Youyou here doesn’t acknowledge him, could his own son and daughter, running such a large Fish Manor, possibly not afford to support him?
Anyway, his trip to Beijing was worth it, not only finding his son and daughter, but securing his own luxurious future.
He had even boasted to Chancellor Zhang at the ti, saying that the fish-cooking skills of his daughter and son-in-law were taught by him. But when Miss Zhang expressed her desire to try the master’s fish, he chickened out, only admitting that years of being a beggar left him with aching arms and legs, and lost his skills, making Miss Zhang sick to her stomach.
This beggar, forever spinning tales, made it hard to believe which of his words were true.
Seeing Gu Wu, dressed like a wealthy bumpkin, stepping out the door, Zhang Shiyu stomped her feet angrily: "Father, look at these kinds of people, I regret bringing them back so much. Father, what exactly are you plotting, keeping such nauseating things at ho, the servants say he acts more high-handed than you."
Chancellor Zhang chuckled sourly, "Well, his daughter has beco in-laws with the Emperor, let him act as he does!"
"Ugh, with a father like Gu Youyou, once they acknowledge each other, Gu Youyou’s ti as Princess Ning will be over."
"Ha! That’s exactly right!" Chancellor Zhang laughed, stroking his beard.
However, Zhang Shiyu couldn’t find it funny and said, "But Father, you must expose this matter first, Father, he’s now living with us, making our lives miserable."
"Oh!" Chancellor Zhang shook his head, "Shiyu, I’ve told you so much, how co you’re not progressing? What good would it do to reveal it now? You think Gu Youyou is foolish? Hmph, if she were foolish, she wouldn’t have her current fa, would Ning Wang even be interested in her? Let tell you, don’t get upset, Gu Youyou is much smarter than you."
"Father!" Zhang Shiyu looked upset.
"Hmph, Gu Youyou isn’t foolish, she won’t recognize this father, she might even retaliate and drag our Chancellor Residence into the ss. To deal with her, we must be foolproof."
"What does Father plan to do?" Although Zhang Shiyu was reluctant to admit Gu Youyou’s prowess over her, she trusted her father, Chancellor Zhang.
Chancellor Zhang said, "Gu Wu has gone to Erya’s Fish Manor!"
Zhang Shiyu seed confused and asked, "So what? Didn’t Father say the owners of Erya’s Fish Manor are Gu Wu’s own daughter and son-in-law? His own son is working there as a chef too."
"Exactly!" Chancellor Zhang said, mysteriously.
"What connection does that have with Gu Youyou acknowledging them? They are his own son and daughter naturally."
"Ah, of course, there’s a connection." Chancellor Zhang chuckled, "See if Gu Youyou isn’t taking better care of Gu Xiaoqing and her brother than the family in Jinxiu City!"
