Last night, I heard someone knocking on the gate of the estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I went out, I saw those two were stone dead, and there was this written confession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the state of them, it seemed like they were killed by a Xingzi. It was a gruesome sight, anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Su Changliang’s words, Lu Yuan blinked. ’Well, this...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Who could have helped out?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe those guys had made too many enemies and one of them finally caught up?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So last night, their enemies found them?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan mulled it over. It seemed like the only possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how it happened, this saved Lu Yuan a lot of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan nodded, but just as he was about to say something else...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone entered from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than Gu Gaoxu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Gaoxu was still carrying the Flintlock Gun on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since last night, the guy had been completely fascinated by the weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan knew he was crazy about it, so he had just given it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I bet the kid even slept with the Flintlock Gun in his arms last night.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you here so early?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan looked at Gu Gaoxu, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, Gu Gaoxu wouldn’t show up until after lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason was that the guy couldn’t get up in the morning—just like Lu Yuan, he loved to sleep in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And last night, they had been busy until two or three in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy had gone back even later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So why is he here so bright and early?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Gaoxu’s face fell. He flopped into a nearby chair and pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just look outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan looked through the main hall’s doorway and saw a squad of soldiers in Armor standing outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them, Lu Yuan blinked. He understood what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan knew that this kid, Gu Gaoxu, had run away from home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, his old man had sent people to drag him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true that before, Lu Yuan had been hoping every day that the kid would hurry up and get lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after hanging out together every day for so long...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the kid was suddenly leaving, Lu Yuan found he was actually a little reluctant to see him go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It was bound to happen sooner or later, though.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Gaoxu raised an eyebrow from his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, do you still need me for anything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you do, say it now. I have to go back this afternoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine, nothing’s left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was just a matter of letting things play out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, Lu Yuan had originally wanted Gu Gaoxu to make a statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something to include in tomorrow’s newspaper headlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who would’ve guessed? The kid just waved his hand and said Lu Yuan could write whatever he wanted him to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said to just write it directly in the paper; he didn’t need to say it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, there was nothing left to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan hadn’t finalized tomorrow’s headlines yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, the general plan was to let things simmer today and then drop the bombshell tomorrow: it was the Liu Family from the Provincial City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the headlines would also have to mention that the second son of King Yan had witnessed and heard the events with his own eyes and ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lu Yuan finished, Gu Gaoxu, still slumped in his chair, spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll be back in a few days after I go home this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything comes up, just wait for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the evidence against the Liu Family is solid and they can’t be let off easy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m worried they might get a slap on the wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait for me to get back to handle the big stuff. Some things will be easier then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was offering to back Lu Yuan up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Yuan thought about it and realized he didn’t really need Gu Gaoxu’s help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Gaoxu’s status was very intimidating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, when you got down to it, the second son of King Yan was not the Crown Prince of Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crown Prince of Yan held real power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second son, however, didn’t have nearly as much authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the very title \"Second Son of King Yan\" was its own form of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just wasn’t as official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, he really didn’t need Gu Gaoxu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As mentioned before, the Court was riddled with factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take the Liu Family. Although they were second-in-command, they had connections in the Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t commit a major crime, or if it was just a minor issue, then even the Governor, the top official, couldn’t do anything to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by the same token, once you made a mistake—a huge mistake at that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...with solid evidence and public outrage...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...then just you wait. The opposing faction would latch onto you like maggots on a rotting bone, biting down and never letting go, ensuring you could never recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let things simmer today, then hit them with an even more explosive front-page headline tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured that by the day after tomorrow, the Lord Governor—that is, Song Chi’s father-in-law—would send his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d hand over all the evidence then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the Lord Governor would certainly ensure the Liu Family could never make a comeback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Court-appointed official hiring a Jianghu Sorcerer to murder people with a Xingzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about it, a crime like that was enough to warrant the execution of one’s entire clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was absolutely no coming back from that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan grinned at Gu Gaoxu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t need you. You won’t be needed for anything that comes next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think you should just stay home and behave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hasn’t your wife already given birth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not stay home and keep her company?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, the men from these wealthy families really did get married and have children early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Gu Gaoxu had been betrothed at sixteen and already had a child this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the same age as his own brother-in-law, yet his child was already almost a year old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own wife had only just gotten pregnant, and her belly hadn’t even started to show yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Gaoxu just raised an eyebrow and said dismissively:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are wet nurses to look after the baby, what am I needed for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s barely a year old, so I can’t take him out to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, what’s so great about keeping a wife company? You think everyone is as obsessed with their wife as you are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan couldn’t help but purse his lips at Gu Gaoxu’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>",1144,"2026-05-30T14:11:52.988Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.829Z",1,"novelbin.me","7e0c7e51a45dc5089a31a154999fc531673038f14a630a6f4813dc7232bd9c87","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-128","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-127",258,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-cover.jpg"]
