Chapter 681: The Wei Prefecture Incident Back Then
Stepping into the courtyard, Chen Chao set down the wine jars in his hands. Staring at Zhou Gouqi, he frowned and said, "Auntie is in the Divine Capital, in an unfamiliar land where she doesn't know anyone. She's already uneasy, what are you scaring her for?"
Zhou Gouqi remained indifferent. "The Divine Capital isn't just any ordinary place. Here, every five steps, there's an official, and every ten steps, a noble scion. If she doesn't tread carefully and ends up offending someone, how will she survive?"
"Aren't you here? As a Confucian Saint, is there anyone in the Divine Capital who dares to provoke you?"
Chen Chao stared at Zhou Gouqi, clearly displeased with his way of doing things.
Zhou Gouqi glanced at Chen Chao and said calmly, "How long do you think I have left to live?"
Chen Chao raised an eyebrow. "What’s that supposed to mean?
Zhou Gouqi did not answer and just said, "If I'm gone, will the academy protect her? I don't want to owe Teacher any more favors."
Chen Chao said irritably, "What nonsense are you saying? If you're really gone, I'll protect Auntie myself. As long as I'm around, I'd like to see who in this Divine Capital dares to find trouble with her!"
Zhou Gouqi clicked his tongue. "Impressive. Becoming Lord Warden Commander really has made you different, hasn't it?"
