Chapter 335 Gu Chenglin Knows the Truth
Ruyi, [After you finished administering the poison, just throw it into his mouth. Didn't you see his twisted face? It was so ugly.]
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin snorted coldly. "Fine, let's see how he schemes against Gu Chenglin."
【Ruyi, do you think the money he mentioned is from the bamboo grove?】
[It definitely is. Why don't you ask Ta Xue again?]
[No need, we've got enough information today. Has Gu Chenglin woken up?]
[I'm awake, and I'm currently driving around the Ruyi Realm.]
【How leisurely! Let's go, we'll go to the palace.】
You should let your man know about this first and see what he says.
Dongfang Jin thought about it and agreed that it made sense. She entered the space, and soon Gu Chenglin drove over.
He came over carrying a basket of purple grapes: "Honey, these grapes are so sweet."
Dongfang Jin took the basket from his hand and handed him her phone: "Take a look."
Gu Chenglin took the phone: "What?"
"Turn on the recording."
Dongfang Jin ignored him and carried the basket to the pool in front to wash the grapes.
Gu Chenglin opened the recording and listened to the words inside. He stood there in a daze, his eyes seemingly burning with raging fire.
His pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints, shooting out an angry glint.
His brows were furrowed, forming small mountain peaks, and the veins on his forehead bulged out, coiling like vines.
His lips were pulled down and pressed into a straight line, as if he were about to unleash a thunderous roar at any moment.
His breathing became rapid and heavy, each exhale seeming to unleash the rage within him.
His chest heaved violently, as if a force was surging through his body, searching for an outlet.
His hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and even trembling slightly, as if he were ready to strike at any moment and shatter all obstacles in his path.
The air around him seemed to be infected by his anger, becoming heavy and oppressive.
His feet unconsciously scraped against the ground, making a faint but threatening sound, like a beast about to attack.
His entire aura was like a volcano about to erupt, filled with uncontrollable anger and power.
Ruyi leaned close to Dongfang Jin and said, "Jin-jie, it seems your man is quite angry."
Dongfang Jin glanced at the furious Gu Chenglin and sneered, "It's good to know the truth. It's not too late to make amends after being used."
He was probably still somewhat resentful about his mother's scheming against Granny Gu.
Ruyi said with a smile, "The chosen ones are not easy to die; experiencing some setbacks is a form of training."
As for what you're worried about, it might not be a bad thing.
However, Granny Gu's family probably won't live much longer either.
Just watch, this twisted Duke of Ningguo probably won't let them off the hook.
Gu Chenglin took a few deep breaths, put his phone away, tried to suppress his anger, and walked to Dongfang Jin's side.
"Wife, this debt must be settled, even if he is the uncle."
His voice was icy cold as he recalled the daily abuse and beatings he suffered at the hands of Granny Gu's family after his grandmother's death.
He really wanted to go out and beat his uncle up.
But now that I think about it, he was quite pitiful.
He never gets tired of scheming and plotting. He loves his younger sister, even though she's not his biological sister, because she grew up in the Duke of Ningguo's household.
Everyone in the capital knows they are siblings. If things really escalate, how will the Ningguo Duke's Mansion maintain its standing in the capital?
Dongfang Jin patted his hand, "Of course we need to calculate it, but we need to plan it carefully."
Should we tell our cousin, the Emperor, about all this?
"Also, is the money he's looking for the same as the money from the bamboo forest?"
Gu Chenglin nodded: "It's pretty much true. Keep that money and don't tell anyone."
Since it was saved by my mother and aunt for my cousin and me in case of emergency, you can take it out when my cousin needs the money urgently.
Dongfang Jin pouted: "I don't want to give it. He's not short of money now. The national treasury and his private coffers are slowly filling up."
I originally wanted to build a fortune for my family.
But look how big this house is! It's like the whole country is my home now.
As one wishes……
My Lord, you're only just finding out?
Haha, that's exactly why I came here.
This "home" is the home of the nation, and even the "home" of the entire continent, haha...
Otherwise, how can the fortunes of this land recover?
Hee-shua-shua, hee-shua-shua, hee-shua-shua... 1, 2, 3, GO! Cold, so cold, so painful, hum-hum, my heart, oh...
Gu Chenglin held Dongfang Jin in his arms, his voice a little hoarse: "Wife, they are all our family."
You once said that it's not true wealth if one person is rich, nor is it true wealth if the whole family is rich; what we want is for the entire family to be rich.
While we're at it, we'll also help everyone get rich. If everyone gets rich, who will be content with their own small personal gains?
People's minds will be broadened by shared prosperity, and they will focus more on the overall well-being and long-term development of society.
With the vision of shared prosperity, people may be more enthusiastic about pursuing an improved quality of life.
In that way, our country will gradually become stronger, and slowly it will also drive other countries to follow suit.
That way, perhaps there would be fewer wars, and the people wouldn't have to live in constant fear.
Dongfang Jin leaned against Gu Chenglin's chest and whispered, "You're right, you can bring whoever you want."
As long as the requirements aren't too high and the person has good character, then take them along.
You've learned a lot from computers lately, and you don't need to report to me how you did it.
"As for major national affairs, those are my cousin's business, and we try not to get involved."
Wars are nothing more than fighting for territory, and they all stem from poverty.
As long as everyone has enough to eat and wear, a stable place to live, and money to earn, then the money will keep circulating.
If everyone had a stable home, who would want to start a war that wastes resources and manpower?
"However, I want to talk to my cousin about the money in the bamboo forest, so that he knows that your uncle is also eyeing that money."
Although I don't know his purpose, I will not let him off easily for daring to use you.
Gu Chenglin shook his head: "There's a lot of money in that bamboo forest, so there's no need to tell my cousin."
If others find out, it might cause trouble again, so let's pretend we don't know.
As for his uncle, even if he told anyone, no one would believe him.
Using me?
I didn't know his purpose before, but now that I do, I'm sure I won't let him lead me by the nose.
I also told my cousin that I would never enter the imperial court in this life. My father-in-law and brother-in-law were both there that day.
Besides, I have a wife, so I'm even less afraid of him.
Dongfang Jin hugged Gu Chenglin's waist, feeling a little guilty: "You don't know yet, the reason I asked you to tell your cousin is because I once gave him a little mouse."
That mouse can find treasure, and Ta Xue also knows about the money in the bamboo forest.
Gu Chenglin tapped her forehead and laughed, "You know what I'm doing. Your cousin doesn't speak animal language, so what are you worried about?"
Dongfang Jin slapped her forehead: "I was defeated by my own naivety. I actually forgot about this. I'll listen to you and not say anything."
"Tomorrow my elder brother and I will go to the palace together to discuss the rice planting with my cousin, the emperor."
If successful, multi-season rice should be put on the agenda.
It can be grown in most parts of the six southern states, especially in Huzhou, where it is spring-like all year round.
Based on the timeline from seedling cultivation to harvest, it's possible to grow rice in all four seasons throughout the year.
"A new idea?" Dongfang Jin was no longer going to underestimate this lurking leopard.
"I do have some ideas. Also, the border of Huzhou is the territory of the Southern Qiang Kingdom, and it's even hotter there than in Huzhou."
Most of the land in the Southern Qiang Kingdom was paddy fields, which made it even better at growing multi-season rice than the southern regions.
My cousin is currently figuring out how to subdue the Southern Qiang Kingdom, and I'd like to discuss the historical knowledge I've learned on the computer with him in detail.
