1487 Chapter 1487-the Father’s fault
When he heard his subordinate report that Lord Gu was treating him to a drink, fourth general Peng could not believe it.
Fourth general Peng was only a year older than Peng Yi Zhu. He was in his early thirties and was the most handsome of the four brothers. He didn’t look like an Iron Man like his older brothers. Instead, he had the air of a scholar.
At this moment, he was consoling fourth Lady Peng.
Because something had happened to Peng mu and she couldn’t find him, fourth Madam Peng, as his mother, had been listless for a long time.
Upon hearing that Lord Gu was inviting them to drink, fourth Madam Peng pulled fourth general Peng and refused to let him go.”Husband, if we can’t find mu ‘er, Lord Gu will definitely vent his anger on you. Don’t go. I don’t have mu ‘er, but I can’t live without you!”
Fourth general Peng patted her hand and said,”don’t think too much.” Moreover, it was mu ‘er’s fault for not teaching the child well. A man should fight for a girl he liked. The girl he loved was married to someone else, and he vented his anger on an innocent person. He was a coward! As his father, I have to bear the responsibility. I couldn’t do anything when Lord Gu didn’t want to see me before, but now that Lord Gu has invited me, I must go. No matter if Lord Gu hits or kills me, I, as his father, will have to bear with it!”
The fourth wife of the Peng family pulled the fourth general of the Peng family and shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “Husband, it’s not your fault, it’s mine. I didn’t teach mu ‘er well. I didn’t stop mu’ er from expressing her feelings to Xiao Yu. At that time, I felt that Xiao Yu was the daughter of a guilty official who escaped and wasn’t worthy of our mu ‘er, so, so Yingluo knew that mu’ er would do this for Xiao Yu. I should have directly told fifth sister to let Xiao Yu and mu ‘er be engaged.”
This was the first time that fourth general Peng had heard his wife say such things. He was a little displeased, but he did not scold her.
“Things have already come to this,” he comforted softly,”there’s no point in saying more. Don’t wait for me, I might be back a little late.”
The fourth wife of the Peng family wiped her tears. Seeing that he had already made up his mind, she did not dare to say anything more.
After leaving, fourth general Peng went to see old general Peng first before going to the restaurant to meet him.
When he arrived, Gu shouxin had already ordered the dishes and started to drink.
Lord Gu, I’m sorry. fourth general Peng was interrupted by Gu shouxin.
“Drink and don’t say anything. I don’t want to hit you.” Gu shouxin directly threw a jar of wine over.
Fourth general Peng took the jar and opened it. “Alright!”
He raised his head and finished the drink in one gulp, then sat at the table.
The two of them started drinking.
Finally, fourth general Peng couldn’t bear the strange atmosphere anymore and started to speak.
He was the one with the worst alcohol tolerance among the brothers. When he got drunk, he began to apologize. Seeing that Gu shouxin didn’t speak, he just said his piece.
Gu shouxin handed him the wine and then counted the time in his heart.
When he felt that it was about time, he began to inadvertently fish for information.
In the end, he managed to get a few pieces of information even though he had drunk and fallen asleep.
He had learned about how the fourth general and his wife had met, about the ancestral home and family of the fourth lady of the Peng family, and about the things that the fourth lady had done after she had married into the family.
After carrying fourth general Peng to the Peng family’s house, Gu shouxin went back to call for people and ordered them to investigate.
At the same time, he also wrote a letter to the Emperor, reporting the situation with Lu Zheng.
As for Peng mu, everyone had guessed that he might go to Jiangnan to find Cheng Huaiyu, then take the water route from Fuzhou to the lange Kingdom. The Emperor had long sent people to guard there.
