Chapter 489 A Surprising Discovery
Qin Xian'er nodded, "Who else could possibly have the influence to gather so many scholars overnight? Husband, do not forget that Master Gu Shunzhang is a renowned imperial tutor. Even my father, the Emperor, has to show him respect when they meet."
"Imperial tutor?" Lin Wanrong shook his head in resignation. How could Master Gu, who served as the Emperor's teacher, not assess the situation properly and choose to be confrontational with his own students? He snorted, then turned to the man who had just spoken, "What is your role in the Gu family? Did Master Gu Shunzhang send you here?"
"I and my companion are caretakers at the Gu residence. The old master has gone on a journey and hasn't yet returned. The mistress heard that the young master was in trouble and sent us to investigate," the man hastily replied.
"Mistress? That explains it." Lin Wanrong nodded and chuckled, "Your mistress is quite scheming, isn't she? To come up with such a brilliant idea to besiege the Lin Manor overnight is truly impressive. Does she have a brilliant advisor helping her make these decisions?"
"I wouldn't know," the man, sensing Lin Wanrong's sarcastic tone and intimidating demeanor, hastily bowed in submission. "We are merely lowly servants of the house; we truly do not know the details of what you're asking."
"Both of you are simply hired help and know so little." Lin Wanrong lost interest in questioning further. He gestured to Si De to call over two hidden guards and had the pair escorted away.
"Husband, what shall we do now? Should we go directly to the Gu residence to settle scores with this mistress?" Miss Qin Xian'er was rather impatient. Upon hearing that the Gu family had instigated the commotion, she wanted to charge over immediately.
"Settle what scores?" Lin Wanrong laughed, shaking his head. "Do you think that merely based on the words of these two, we could have your father's esteemed teacher's property confiscated? Isn't that a joke?"
