Chapter 1860

"Father, did you beat that unfilial son? Why did I seem to see tears in the corners of his eyes when he left just now?"

As soon as Gao Feng entered the backyard, his voice filled with dissatisfaction rang out.

But after all, facing Gao Tianlong, he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak loudly.

Gao Tianlong's face darkened, hearing the dissatisfaction in Gao Feng's words.

He couldn't help but snort coldly, "Don't you want to beat Yang'er up day and night? I stood up for you and helped you beat him up, why are you still unhappy?"

Gao Feng's expression changed, and he said in a low voice, "But you can't use such a heavy hand. Yang'er is grown up after all, he has his own self-esteem, how could you use such a heavy hand?"

Gao Tianlong withdrew his gaze, picked up the hot tea on the table, and said with annoyance, "I only asked Yang'er to come over for a heart-to-heart talk. I didn't reprimand him, let alone lay a hand on him!"

"A heart-to-heart talk?"

Gao Feng looked stunned, but he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

He poured himself a cup of hot tea and said, "What heart-to-heart talk did Father have with Yang'er?"

Gao Tianlong said extremely calmly, "Yang'er is tired of the deceit in the officialdom and wants to resign and return to the fields!"

"Resigning and returning to the fields is fine..." Gao Feng took a sip, not having reacted yet.

But the next second.

Pfft!

He spat out a mouthful of tea and instantly raised his voice, "What? Resign!"

Gao Tianlong wiped the water droplets splashed on him and nodded faintly.

Gao Feng couldn't stay calm.

"Is this unfilial son crazy? He's only in his twenties, yet he's been enfeoffed as a Marquis after one battle, established heaven-defying military merit, ranks as the head of all officials in civil service, and is the Champion Marquis and General of the Flying Cavalry in military service!"

"His Majesty's rewards for this time haven't come down yet, but they surely won't be low. He can be said to be the glory of Da Qian, the envy of all scholars in the world!"

"Things that many people dream of, this unfilial son has obtained at this age, yet he doesn't cherish them. It truly infuriates me!"

Gao Feng rolled up his sleeves, his back teeth aching from clenching, and turned to leave.

Gao Tianlong shouted, "Stop!"

"What are you doing?"

Gao Feng was full of rage, saying almost without concealment, "Beating that unfilial beast! He's only just reached adulthood, what is he tired of, what is he retiring from!"

Gao Tianlong's mouth twitched.

He had just told Gao Yang to make his decision boldly and that the Duke of Dingguo's mansion would be his greatest backing, and now Gao Feng was going to beat him!

Wasn't this slapping his face?

"You are not allowed to go!"

Gao Tianlong raised his sharp eyes and said to Gao Feng.

Gao Feng was stunned, full of disbelief, "Father, why is that?"

Gao Tianlong's expression was cold, his eyes deep, "There is no reason. I say you are not allowed to go, so you are not allowed to go!"

"Yang'er is grown up, his achievements are greater than yours, greater than mine. If he really wants to resign, he must have his reasons!"

"Let Yang'er decide this matter himself. If you dare to go and say something or do something, don't blame me for breaking your legs!"

Gao Tianlong's voice was unquestionable, filled with dominance.

Gao Feng's expression was ugly, but he didn't dare to disobey.

"Did you hear me?"

"Yes!"

"Change your clothes and practice boxing with me." Gao Tianlong stood up and said in a deep voice.

"What?"

Gao Feng was numb.

High EQ: Practice boxing together.

Low EQ: Come over and be my punching bag.

"..."

On the other side.

Chu Qingluan changed into a long dress, and after simply washing up, she went to Lady Li's place at the first opportunity.

Lady Li's attitude was extremely kind, holding Junjun, but that teasing gaze always made Chu Qingluan feel incredibly ashamed.

After holding Junjun and chatting for a while, Lady Li sent Chu Qingluan away.

Regarding this, Chu Qingluan was also a bit helpless, but her heart was also extremely happy.

After leaving Lady Li's, Chu Qingluan walked toward Gao Yang's small courtyard.

Just as she stepped into the courtyard, she was stunned.

Within her line of sight.

Gao Yang was sitting on a stone chair, one hand tapping rhythmically on the stone table, the other holding a cigarette made by Gao Changwen, smoking it slowly.

Amidst the swirling smoke, Gao Yang's brows were furrowed together, as if he were weighing a matter of great importance.

When Lv Luo saw Chu Qingluan, she hurried over, looked at Gao Yang with worry, and whispered to Chu Qingluan, "Madam, ever since the Young Master went to the Old Duke's place, he has been like this since he returned."

"That thing in his hand, the Young Master calls it a cigarette. The Young Master usually doesn't smoke, at most occasionally one."

"I have been by the Young Master's side for a very long time. Only when discussing the politics of Suiyang County, involving that orphanage, involving hundreds of officials in Suiyang County, high-ranking officials in Changancheng, and the Grand Eunuch of the Ceremonial Directorate, did the Young Master smoke for a whole night."

"After that night, the Suiyang officialdom was blood-washed, and Changancheng also caused a heaven-shaking shock, but just now, in such a short while, the Young Master has smoked no less than ten..."

When Chu Qingluan heard this, her phoenix eyes furrowed.

Her beautiful eyes also landed on Gao Yang, who was fully focused and in a state of self-forgetfulness.
