Chapter 1674: Who’s Making Trouble?Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong looked up and saw a group of bailiffs being led over by Lu Sheng.
The leader walked up to them and cupped his hands at Shao Qingyuan. Then, his sharp gaze landed on the steward and he shouted angrily, "Who’s causing trouble here?"
The steward shrunk his neck, wanting to reduce his presence.
However, the people around him did not allow him to do so. More than ten pairs of hands pointed at him, Yang Wenli, and the others.
The bailiff sized them up and waved at the officers behind him. "Take them away."
The steward was shocked. "Officer, we’re innocent. We didn’t cause trouble. We were the ones who were beaten up. Look at our master. He’s been beaten up to this state and he’s vomiting blood."
The bailiff’s face was cold as he said, "Innocent? Everyone saw it for real. Everyone is pointing at you. Could it be that everyone is blind? If you have any grievances, come back to the government office with us and tell the Lord."
Then, he frowned. "Take him away!!"
The officers behind him instantly rushed forward, completely ignoring the steward who was still shouting injustice and Yang Wenli, who was struggling to say something. They gagged him and tied his hands before taking him away.
The remaining thugs had the ability to resist, but they would rather not fight with the officials. If they dared to attack, they would really be sentenced for rebellion.
These people were filled with regret. They originally thought that they would just cause trouble and protect Old Master Yang until he escaped unscathed.
Unexpectedly, retreating unscathed was simply a dream.
When they realized that something was wrong and wanted to leave, they could not leave at all. Not only could they not protect Old Master Yang, but they could not even protect themselves.
And now they were going to be taken to the government office.
The group of people was quickly taken away. Gu Yundong squinted at their backs.
It was true that she wouldn’t take Yang Wenli’s life, but she could still teach him a lesson so that he wouldn’t dare to cause trouble until she left the Xuanhe Prefecture.
Seeing that they were getting further and further away, Shao Qingyuan turned around and said to the onlookers, "Sorry to disturb everyone. The troublemakers have been taken away. There’s already a banquet at home. Please come in."𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Most of the people watching outside were guests of the Gu family, and some were neighbors.
Now that the trouble was gone, they heaved a sigh of relief.
The guests politely exchanged a few pleasantries before Shao Qingyuan let Shao Wen and the others lead them in.
The crowd around them gradually retreated. Only then did Shao Qingyuan look at Dou Fukang, the joy in his eyes obvious. "When did you come?"
"Haha, I arrived yesterday. I originally planned to visit you today. I didn’t expect that when I asked for your address last night, I heard that it was your housewarming today, so I brought gifts."
Gu Yundong asked, "What about Duan Wan? Did she come with you?"
"Of course she’s here." Dou Fukang raised his eyes and looked not far away. Then, he waved from afar. "Wan’er, over here."
When Duan Wan heard the voice, her eyes lit up and she immediately walked over with her maidservant, Zhilan.
When she saw Gu Yundong, she immediately pounced on him. "Yundong, I finally see you again."
Gu Yundong was also very surprised. "I didn’t expect you to come to the Xuanhe Prefecture either. I haven’t congratulated you on your wedding yet."
Duan Wan was a little embarrassed and chuckled.
Gu Yundong was about to invite the two of them in when a few people suddenly rushed out of the courtyard. "Who’s causing trouble?"
