I won’t just let this go!" Cold Bingbing thought angrily as she recalled what had happened tonight."It's simply unfair!" Su Beibei grumbled. "That country bumpkin actually managed to find such a good...Chapter 1241 Related to Summer Again

"But there's still me," Gu Hanshuang said coolly. "In the coming decades, I will take charge of protecting the family while you focus on multiplying it. Each of us has our own responsibilities, and only then can the family truly grow."

"But Auntie Grandma, you've said your time might be limited..." Gu Hongwen couldn't help but say.

“You don’t need to worry about this anymore. I still have plenty of time. It won’t be a problem for me to protect the family for several decades," Gu Hanshuang said coolly.

"Ah That’s great!" Gu Hongwen looked extremely delighted, then he asked another question, "Auntie Grandma, was it Summer who helped you with his medical skills"

“That’s correct. Young Master's medical skills are truly miraculous; they can prolong my life and keep me youthful forever,” Gu Hanshuang said coolly. “Even though I left the family over a hundred years ago, and it might not be very familiar to you, we remain one family. You are my juniors, so I have a responsibility to look after you. Therefore, as long as you follow what I say, I will definitely protect you in secret, protecting this family.”

"Of course, we will listen to you." Gu Hongwen hurriedly answered.

"Since that's the case, then follow what I've said and don't get involved in some trivial disputes in the capital. You should低調做人做事，安心繁衍家族，遇到解決不了的問題或者麻煩，你們就告訴我，我會解決的。live a low-key life, focus on family development, and whenever you encounter problems or trouble that you can’t solve, tell me, and I will handle it for you." Gu Hanchuang spoke indifferently: "I won't stay in the capital forever. As the young master's maid, wherever he goes, there I go too. But no matter where I am, if you really encounter any trouble, let me know at any time. If I can’t solve it, I’ll ask the young master for help."

"Great-aunt, rest assured, we will follow what you've said." Gu Hongwen nodded.

"There's one thing I hope you understand: I am the young master’s maid. Even though he dotes on me a lot, no matter how you look at it, I’m still his servant and he is my master. So when you meet him, you should also treat him with the proper master-servant etiquette; don’t overstep your bounds." Gu Hanchuang continued: "He has the qualification to be my master, and for you to serve him as a servant won't disgrace you at all. That’s actually an honor for you. Many people would wish to奉他為主serve him but he wouldn’t accept them. You must remember this point; only in this way can I ask the young master for help when you encounter issues."

When she got to this part, Gu Hanchuang paused slightly, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the three of them before continuing: "Do you understand"

"Great-aunt, even though we don’t know much about Mr. Xia, if you say so, we naturally believe in you and will follow your instructions." Gu Hongwen hesitated for a moment before saying this; glancing at his two younger brothers, he added: "Hanfeng and Mingjun would do the same."

"Alright, I won't say more. You're all very smart and I believe your children will be excellent in the future. In decades to come, the Gu family is bound to become a truly great clan. Perhaps you are不甘沉寂 now, but decades later, you'll understand that this will be your best choice." After saying these words calmly, Gu Hanshuang turned around and said, "I need to go; Young Master is waiting for me."

Gu Hanshuang left gracefully, vanishing from the courtyard in an instant, leaving only the three brothers of the Gu family somewhat dazed.

"Elder brother, are we really supposed to follow what our great-aunt said" After a while, Gu Mingjun couldn't help but ask. This guy had been feeling quite good about himself recently, and now suddenly being told to keep a low profile was not something he was entirely comfortable with.

"What she said is actually right; there are only the three of us left in our family branch. Even if others give us the title of one of the four major families, it has no real significance." Gu Hongwen nodded slightly, "We need to truly strengthen our family, not just hold onto an empty title. Hanfeng, Mingjun, let's find a woman with excellent genes and get married, have children as Great-Aunt suggested."

"But that Xiao Xia...," Gu Hanfeng was still bitter; he had suffered losses at the hands of Xia Tian before and always wanted to reclaim his honor.

"Hush!" Gu Hongwen snapped. "Hanfeng, have you forgotten what Great-Aunt just said From now on, when it comes to Xia Tian, you must be polite. You may not respect him, but you must fear him!"

"Big Brother, is Summer really that powerful" Gu Hanfeng still had some doubts.

"Hanfeng, you've personally fought against Summer. Moreover, even a formidable person like our great-grand-aunt would willingly be his maid. Don't you understand just how powerful Summer truly is" Gu Hongwen said in a solemn voice: "Mistakes can sometimes be made from underestimating an opponent once, but repeatedly doing so is foolish!"

Pausing for a moment, Gu Hongwen's tone softened slightly: "Hanfeng, some things cannot rely on僥倖or assumptions. Although Summer is famous, everyone in the capital still undervalues his true capabilities. Back then, the destruction of the Li and Sun families made many people believe that Summer, though strong, was still beatable. This mindset led to Ye Zhi Feng's downfall and that of the Yuan family."

Gu Hanfeng was stunned: "Big Brother, are you saying that Ye Zhi Feng’s death also has something to do with Summer"

"Do you think the Yuan family would kill Ye Zhi Feng on their own initiative" Gu Hongwen said indifferently. "Hanfeng, I'm not alone in understanding this; many people in the capital are well aware of it too. The Yuan family was merely a scapegoat. But there's no way to find evidence because Summer was in Shu at that time and seemingly unrelated to these events. Do you know where Summer’s true genius lies It’s in his deliberate high-profile actions, making everyone suspect he deliberately created an alibi for himself not being present. In reality, however, this is exactly what he wanted—on one hand, creating a perfect alibi, on the other, planting doubts about whether it was truly him who orchestrated Ye Zhi Feng's death and the fall of the Yuan family!"

"But how did he manage to do that" Gu Hanfeng was perplexed. "Wasn’t Yuan Tianzheng from the Yuan family also working for Summer But he was brought in by Song Yumei, isn't Song Yumei also one of Summer’s people"

"I'm not sure either, but I know that from now on, anyone in the capital city who's of sound mind won't dare to provoke Xia Tian again." Gu Hongwen spoke indifferently: "Hanfeng, we are currently aligned with Xia Tian. We should feel fortunate about this and follow our great-aunt’s advice. This is best for our family and us."

Gu Hanfeng was silent for a moment before nodding his head and saying softly, “Big Brother, I understand. I will listen to you.”

Gu Hongwen nodded gently without speaking further; in his eyes, there was an increased anticipation for the future.

In Dark Squad’s base.

"Uncle Zhao, did you call us here because of something important" Mei'er entered Zhao Mingfeng's room, followed by Mu Han. They had just received a phone call from Zhao Mingfeng, who said he wanted to discuss an important matter with them.

Zhao Mingfeng nodded: "Mei’er and Han, please take a seat. I do have something to discuss with you both."

Mia and Mu Han sat down opposite Zhao Mingfeng, but both couldn't help wondering if this had something to do with Xia Tian again.

"Mia, Mu Han, you two should know that a lot has happened in the capital city these days, and those at the top are very concerned. However, what they're most worried about isn’t Yue Zhi Feng's death but another matter—Swan Tianzheng. The abilities Swan Tianzheng displayed while resisting capture have caused many people unease," Zhao Mingfeng spoke straightforwardly without beating around the bush. "Previously, although Xia Tian was also very powerful, he didn't openly display his capabilities in most of what he did, making it less obvious to those at the top compared to how Swan Tianzheng has now acted. Therefore, Xia Tian’s current display is even more shocking."

Mia and Mu Han looked at each other involuntarily; they could see from each other's eyes that this indeed had something to do with Xia Tian.

"You two don't need to worry. Those at the top have no intention of going against Xia Tian," Zhao Mingfeng quickly reassured them: "We aren’t outsiders, and I won't hide anything from you. Our family, Zhao's, has considerable influence among the higher-ups, as do Qi’s and Song’s families, all supporting Xia Tian. Therefore, those at the top believe that although Xia Tian is very powerful, his existence benefits rather than harms the country."

After a pause, Zhao Mingfeng added: "Actually, if Xia Tian were the only one in this world with such great power, there might be different concerns from above. But with Swan Tianzheng's appearance, those at the top realize that there may be other dangerous individuals like him out there."

"Uncle Zhao, what exactly do those at the top want us to do" Mia couldn't help asking.plane just to accompany you," Wen Shilun couldn't help but say again.Unfortunately, Math (夏) was resting at the moment, leaning on a chair with his eyes closed, looking like he had fallen asleep.Winst...
