Chapter 41

Meanwhile, over on the other side, a servant of the Gu family saw many things being delivered and immediately ran off to tell Gu Zhangyuan and the others.

When Gu Tinghe heard the news, he figured the stuff being delivered was the Gu family's treasure. He threw on some clothes and hurried out.

Gu Zhangyuan was a step behind. By the time he got there with his nursemaid, Gu Tinghe was already messing with the calligraphy and paintings inside.

Gu Tinghe looked at the scroll in his hand with disgust and was about to chuck it on the ground.

The nursemaid rushed over and scolded, "Stop! These are the Eldest Young Master's personal things. The Young Master ought to be more careful."

As she said this, she quickly snatched the item back and carefully put it back in the box.

"Now that the Gu family's in this state, how can everything be his? A chunk of it should naturally go to me," Gu Tinghe said, grabbing a jewelry box and hugging it to his chest.

Anything that made it into Gu Zhangyuan's secret room was something he really treasured. Even if he didn't much care for wearing jewelry, he had no plans to give these pieces away.

Just as Gu Zhangyuan was about to put a stop to his nonsense, Gu Tinghe spoke up again, all entitled, "Big brother, I'm your own flesh and blood! You've got so much good stuff now—surely you can spare a little for me? You're way too stingy. That's not how a big brother should act."

Gu Zhangyuan replied, "I'm not your real big brother. When the Gu family was in trouble before, you didn't want to claim me. Now that you want something from me, suddenly I'm your big brother again."

As he spoke, Gu Zhangyuan shot a glance at a servant nearby. The servant got the hint and immediately snatched the jewelry box back.

Back in the day, before the Gu family's downfall, Gu Zhangyuan had been pretty generous. Whether his younger siblings asked for stuff or servants begged for favors, he'd always hand it over.

It was exactly because of his kind nature and generosity that he was so well-liked around the Gu household.

But times had changed. Now that the Gu family had fallen this far, there'd be a lot of lean days ahead.

Right now, they were relying on Xie Licheng for food and drink.

Gu Zhangyuan could let Xie Licheng take care of him, but he couldn't let Xie Licheng take care of the whole Gu family.

He wanted to sort through these valuables now so that when they moved somewhere else, he could trade them for food.

Besides, Gu Tinghe had never shown his big brother any respect. Earlier, he'd even tried to push Gu Zhangyuan out front as a shield during the disaster. Given how things stood between them now, it was no surprise Gu Zhangyuan didn't want to hand over his jewelry.

When the servant grabbed the jewelry box back, he accidentally shoved Gu Tinghe.

Furious at being shoved, Gu Tinghe turned and smacked Wan Liu, who was trailing behind him.

"Are you stupid or blind? Can't you see they're coming at me? Get the stuff back for me!"

Wan Liu got slapped twice across the face and could only say, looking all pitiful, "Young Master, those things are the Eldest Young Master's. If he doesn't want to give them to you, then—"

Before he could finish, Gu Tinghe's eyes went red and he reached for his whip to lash him.

Gu Zhangyuan frowned and said, "Gu Tinghe, stop this. Do you have any idea what's going on out there right now? And you're still in the mood to throw your little rich-kid tantrum here?"

He'd been raising a fuss to go out today precisely to see what was happening outside.

After seeing it with his own eyes, he finally got how bad things really were.

If Dazhou really fell into total chaos, getting out of here would be a nightmare.

This was Xie Licheng's turf, and Gu Zhangyuan knew Xie Licheng would treat him right.

But he could only guarantee Xie Licheng's kindness toward him—not toward everyone else.

From what he'd learned about Xie Licheng these past few days, the guy was nowhere near as easygoing as he seemed on the surface.

Once you crossed his line, even Gu Zhangyuan couldn't change his mind.

Gu Tinghe had been spoiled rotten. Acting so high and mighty on someone else's turf was just asking for trouble.

"I can discipline my own servant without you butting in!"

As he said it, Gu Tinghe deliberately cracked his whip at Wan Liu.

Gu Zhangyuan stepped up and grabbed for the whip.

He figured he needed to teach his little brother a real lesson today, or the kid might end up getting himself killed.

Gu Tinghe was just as riled up. As they fought over the whip, he tried to take a swing at Gu Zhangyuan with it too.

And wouldn't you know it, Xie Licheng walked in right at that exact moment.

The second he got back, he saw Gu Tinghe raising his whip to hit Gu Zhangyuan.

Without a second thought, he strode over and kicked the guy away.

Xie Licheng wasn't just anybody—that one kick damn near crippled Gu Tinghe.

Gu Tinghe flew back and slammed hard into the ground. Struggling to sit up, he covered his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He seemed shocked that he could get hurt that bad. For a second he was dazed, then he burst into loud sobs from the pain.

He wailed, "Father! Father! Someone go get my father! I'm dying... You dog of a servant! You dog! How dare you hit me! How dare you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Everyone around stared at him in total disbelief, unable to wrap their heads around this young master's logic.

What kind of world was this now? And Master Xie was such a fearsome man. If it weren't for him, they might all be dead already. Not only was this kid not keeping his head down, but he was dumb enough to raise a hand against the Eldest Young Master? Didn't he know whose turf he was on?

Seeing Gu Tinghe still had the energy to curse, Xie Licheng started walking toward him.

But right then, the elderly, injured Eldest Master of the Gu family showed up.

Seeing him come in person, Xie Licheng had no choice but to put his dagger away.

After all, the man was Xie Licheng's father-in-law, so he had to keep up a respectful front.

The Eldest Master's heart hurt at the sight of Gu Tinghe's state.

But then he thought about the situation outside, and he had to harden his heart.

In truth, Gu Zhangyuan's insistence on going out today had been the Eldest Master's idea.

When they'd left, the city of Lingzhou had indeed fallen into chaos.

But back then, only Lingzhou was in turmoil. With so many people under their command, the Eldest Master figured that unless they were truly at the end of their rope, they shouldn't live like parasites, mooching off others for the rest of their lives.

He'd wondered that if other places hadn't fallen into chaos, maybe they'd still have a shot at getting out.

Their perspective differs from Xie Licheng's—they have no idea what this village really is.

They don't know that more areas will unlock here later, so they just think it's a small village.

The Gu family isn't your typical farming clan; they're used to living high and mighty, so they're not exactly comfortable being under someone else's thumb.

So, unless they're truly backed into a corner, they still have a strong urge to get out.

Today, Gu Zhangyuan went out and saw that Lingzhou is in total chaos.

Two days have passed, and no troops have come from the capital, which means the Dazhou dynasty has truly fallen apart.

With Dazhou in total disarray, no matter where they go from here, it'll be dangerous, and they'll likely have to lean on Xie Licheng to survive.

Given the situation, they have to treat Xie Licheng with more respect and absolutely can't treat him like a servant like they used to.

The moment Gu Tinghe saw the elder master arrive, he started wailing and begging him to get revenge for him.

But the elder master walked over and slapped him, which nearly drove the already banged-up Gu Tinghe crazy.

He asked in disbelief, "Father, Father, why'd you hit me?! I'm your own flesh and blood! This man, this lowly slave..."

The elder master roared, "Shut up! How did I raise such a little brat?! He's the benefactor who saved our whole family, and this is how you treat the man who saved your life?!"

Gu Tinghe shrieked, not wanting to listen or admit that here, even a lowly servant is more respected than him.

Deep down, he knew he shouldn't be picking a fight with Xie Licheng right now.

But he just couldn't wrap his head around it; just three days ago, he was still the pampered young master of the Gu family.

He could hit anyone he wanted, even push around that wretch Gu Yangxue.

But why, with one sudden turn of fate, had he become the lowest of the low?

Not only could Gu Yangxue scold him, but now even a servant could too.

Gu Tinghe couldn't make sense of it, so he struggled to his feet and ran toward the river.

He wanted to threaten to kill himself to force his father to admit he wasn't in the wrong.

But to his surprise, even as he reached the riverbank, no one behind him yelled for him to stop.

Gu Tinghe paused mid-jump, then turned back, sobbing, "Father, I was wrong, Ting'er was wrong. I won't ever do it again."

The elder master said to him, "Come back here and apologize properly to Master Xie."

Gu Tinghe was dead set against apologizing, but under his father's icy glare, he eventually came over and did it.

Xie Licheng watched him walk up, bawling with tears and snot running down his face as he apologized.

He sighed and said, "You should be grateful you've got a good father; otherwise, you wouldn't have made it this far."

The elder master was scared stiff at that and quickly stepped forward to grab Xie Licheng's hand.

"It's my fault for not teaching the kid right; a father's responsible for his son's mistakes. All his faults are because I spoiled him. I apologize to you here."

Xie Licheng couldn't let his father-in-law apologize, so he smiled and said, "This is the last time. Don't let him come out and stir up trouble again."

"Of course, of course."

Xie Licheng's gaze landed on the young attendant named Wan Liu, noticing the fresh scars on his face and body. He said to the elder master beside him, "In times like these, it's better for the young master to learn to fend for himself."

The elder master was a sharp man and immediately caught Xie Licheng's meaning.

He glanced at Wan Liu and said, "From now on, you'll be serving Xiaoxue."

Wan Liu was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down to thank Xie Licheng. "Thank you, Master Xie, thank you, Master. This servant will take good care of the young miss."

Wan Liu never imagined he'd get the chance to switch masters.

All the servants in the Gu household knew the young master had a nasty temper, and plenty of them didn't want to serve him.

Wan Liu was originally a low servant with no say in who his master was, so after being picked by Gu Tinghe, he lived in constant fear every day.

To be honest, when the Gu family fell into chaos, there was a moment he felt glad.

He wanted to slip away in the confusion, so he wouldn't have to put up with the young master's torment anymore.

But... his luck was bad; he hadn't gotten far before a bandit grabbed him.

If Master Xie hadn't happened to pass by, he'd surely be dead by now.

He was unlucky; after being rescued, he was sent right back to the young master's side.

His life went back to how it was before, still shrouded in darkness with nothing to look forward to.

Being beaten and scolded—he'd long gotten used to it.

Getting hit today was his own fault too; he never learned to suck up to his master and always spoke his mind.

So when the young master hit him again, he didn't feel all that upset.

He was truly used to it, so it didn't hurt all that much anymore.

But what he didn't expect was for Master Xie to help him right then.

Wan Liu remembered that not long ago, he'd also helped Master Xie once, and he couldn't help but feel a rush of joy.

People say no good deed goes unpunished, but... he'd spoken a kind word for the other, and now wasn't he reaping the reward?

...

After that, the elder master hurried Gu Tinghe away.

Watching his father and younger brother walk off into the distance, Gu Zhangyuan couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

He said a bit awkwardly, "I've put you out again today."

Xie Licheng replied casually, "It's nothing. To me, he's just a little ant. Why would I get mad at an ant?"

Xie Licheng truly didn't care much about Gu Tinghe; if he hadn't come out to cause trouble, he would've forgotten about him.

Xie Licheng: "So, are you planning to live with me from now on, or with your family?"

Gu Zhangyuan said, "You're my husband, so of course I'm living with you."

Gu Zhangyuan said this without any hesitation; he naturally wanted to live with Xie Licheng.

It's just that Xie Licheng's always been too busy, and he's got a lot on his plate too, so the two of them haven't had the chance to move in together.

Xie Licheng: "If you want to live with me at the farm, I'll have your things sent there. If you think the farm is too big and you'd be scared living there alone, you can also stay with your family."

Gu Zhangyuan: "Have you stopped coming back to stay here lately?"

Xie Licheng nodded at this. "I'll mostly be busy out there. I still have many things to take care of."

Such as finding the Gu family's secret chamber, dealing with that prefect, and... grabbing the male lead's husband's stuff, among other things.

So yeah, he'd probably be out most of the time, and really wouldn't have much time to spend with Gu Zhangyuan.

"Then I'll stay with my family for now. Nobody else can get into your farm, and I'd be scared staying there alone."

Even though Xie Licheng had said there was no one at the farm, Gu Zhangyuan would still be afraid by himself.

Because to him, it was a totally strange place.

He'd only stop feeling scared once he got used to it over time.

Xie Licheng: "Alright then. I'll leave the Gu family's things at Taohua Village. Make sure your servants keep an eye on the place."

With that, Xie Licheng was about to head out again, but then he thought of the doctor and his family.

Xie Licheng: "Once that old man finishes treating the people here, ask them when they want to leave the city. I'll make time to get them out of here."

Gu Zhangyuan replied, "A lot of people in the village are hurt, so they can't leave anytime soon. You don't need to worry about them right now. Once everyone here is better, I'll have a good talk with them. Once we've figured out a time, I'll let you know."

"Mm, I'll leave it to you here."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Zhangyuan quickly grabbed his hand.

Gu Zhangyuan asked, "Can we grow crops in the village? The outside world is already in total chaos, so we probably can't go outside for a while. I was thinking, since there are so many of us here, why don't we all work together to clear a few fields? That way we can grow our own food and take care of ourselves."

Xie Licheng had been so busy lately that he'd totally forgotten about this. Now that Gu Zhangyuan mentioned it, he didn't rush off again.

He said to Gu Zhangyuan, "Have everyone gather here. I'll hand out the village's farmland to everyone."

Xie Licheng was a player, and in this world, he could buy farmland and seeds.

The land he bought could be placed not just on his farm but also in the village.

In his past life, Xie Licheng had saved up a good number of gold coins, and he planned to hand out the land now.

Gu Zhangyuan immediately had someone call everyone over, and soon they all gathered in front of the village shop.

Only Xie Licheng could use this shop, so only he could buy the farmland and seeds inside.

In the portable world, to farm, you have to own land, and land has to be bought with gold coins from the right shop.

You got gold coins simply by trading stuff in at the shop.

You could trade valuable items, or grain, clothes, and other stuff.

In his past life, Xie Licheng had stashed away over a thousand gold coins—enough to buy farmland for everyone.

Before he saved the Gu family, Xie Licheng's portable world had 52 people in total.

Now, with the Gu family and the old doctor's family added, his portable world had 89 people.

Xie Licheng bought 100 plots of land at 10 gold coins each—100 plots cost 1,000 gold coins, which basically used up all the coins he had.

With their current small population, Xie Licheng still had enough gold coins to buy land for everyone.

Once the population grew later, they'd have to spend their own money to buy land.

Others couldn't buy land directly, but they could trade valuable items with Xie Licheng.

For example, they could give silver to Xie Licheng, and he'd convert it into gold coins—that way they could buy land too.

Once everyone had arrived, Xie Licheng said to the crowd: "I know you're all curious about where this place is, and you've probably been feeling uneasy these past few days. Since I'm handing out farmland to everyone now, I'll take this chance to explain things properly."

With that, Xie Licheng just pulled over a chair and sat down. That way, he could explain things to everyone while also recovering his stamina.

Xie Licheng: "This place is my portable world—though calling it just my personal portable world isn't exactly right either. This is actually its own independent world. Even if something happens to me later, even if I die, this place won't disappear. You can all live here peacefully. And it won't just be the size of one village. In the future, you'll need to help me take over other territories, and our land should keep growing bigger and bigger."

A villager immediately asked, "Take over other territories? But we're all just old folks, weaklings, women, and kids—how can we possibly help you, Benefactor? And... taking over other people's land—does that mean killing and burning? Would we have to be like those bandits out there? I, I really couldn't do something like that."

Xie Licheng glanced at him. He remembered him—it was that young guy.

Xie Licheng: "No. Most of the people in my portable world aren't actually human. They're all fake people—not real beings. Once you see them, you'll all understand. As for how to take over territory, you don't need to worry about that either. I'll handle it myself.

Also, there are many wild beasts on the mountain at Taohua Village. These beasts are like those fake people I mentioned. They refresh once every day. 'Refresh' means that if you kill them today, they'll reappear tomorrow. No matter how many times you kill them, they'll show up again the next day. If you don't hunt them for a long time, they'll also breed with each other. But if the offspring die, they won't refresh the next day."

Because Xie Licheng had given too much information today, many people couldn't keep up.

For instance, those villagers without much education were now staring blankly, clearly not understanding a word Xie Licheng had said.

But it didn't matter if they didn't understand—Gu Zhangyuan and the others could still follow along.

Later on, they could ask Young Master Gu. He was smart and gentle-natured, so he'd surely be willing to explain things to them slowly.

Gu Zhangyuan asked, "So you're saying that even if I send people up the mountain for large-scale hunting in the future, we won't be able to wipe out all the prey?"

Xie Licheng nodded, then continued slowly, "And about the situation outside—it's already completely chaotic out there. I took the Eldest Young Master out to see it today, so you can ask him about it yourselves. As for whether you can go back out in the future—yes, you can. For example, the old doctor's family—once they've healed the people here, I'll find time to get them out of the city. Since they've learned this place's secret, to prevent any trouble for me in the future, when I send them out, I'll erase their memories of me and the portable world. Once those memories are erased, my portable world can never accept them again. That means even if I run into them again later and they need my help to be rescued, I won't be able to bring them in."

The old doctor's family happened to be there. The old doctor couldn't understand at all.

His son, however, understood. He said uncertainly, "You... you really know Immortal Arts?"

Being able to erase memories—and only the memories of him and this strange place—if that didn't make him a god or immortal, nothing would.

Xie Licheng really couldn't explain this easily—things like systems, transmigrating into books, golden fingers, and so on.

Explaining all of that together would take too much effort, and Xie Licheng couldn't clarify it all at once, so he simply didn't bother explaining.

Xie Licheng: "Don't worry about what it is exactly. It won't harm you—it just makes you forget about me and this place."

Xiao Ruan quickly said, "Xiao Ruan isn't leaving. Xiao Ruan said she would follow Benefactor for life."

Xie Licheng couldn't help but smile at this. "A lifetime is too long. You're still a young girl. That's how you feel now, but you might not feel the same way later. I'm telling everyone this now not to force you to stay here. I'm saying this to let you know that if you want to leave, you can—but you must have your memories erased when you do."

A servant from the Gu family asked, "Then... what if we don't want to leave, but just want to go out to see what's happening outside, or to look for our family members?"

"I can take you out to have a look. But if you dare to deceive me—for example, if I take you out and you deliberately try to escape in the chaos—I will kill you without mercy. In the future, more and more people will be here. Rescuing you is a kindness on my part, not a debt I owe you. I won't stop you from leaving either, so don't try to deceive me."

A young man quickly said, "We were saved by you, Benefactor. We all remember your kindness and would never betray you. I don't want to leave either—I have no family left. As long as you don't cast me out, I'm willing to stay here forever."

Xie Licheng wasn't saying all this to make them pledge their loyalty.

It was to help them understand the situation here, and also to let those who wanted to leave know that it was possible to get out.

So that they wouldn't hold back from telling him anything out of fear, and then end up bottling things up until something snapped.

The reason Xie Licheng dared to tell them everything so openly and plainly was mainly because he was the only player in this world.

What did being "the only player" mean?

It meant that only he could gain attribute points through leveling up, and then use those points to keep growing stronger without any limit.

Even if someone were to enter the portable world someday, Xie Licheng wouldn't have to fear what they could do to him.

First, no one could ever be stronger than Xie Licheng.

Second, Xie Licheng had a population management feature that let him name everyone who came in. Once named, everyone in this world would have an ID floating above their head.

The ID was usually green, but if someone felt hostile toward Xie Licheng, the only player, it would turn a glaring red.

Xie Licheng had only discovered this recently.

It happened while he was handling Gu Tinghe's situation—Gu Tinghe had a brief flash of murderous intent toward him.

Probably because Gu Tinghe was scared of him, his red name later turned back to green.

It was exactly this discovery that made Xie Licheng so bold afterward, daring to tell them everything.

Xie Licheng didn't tell them everything, though—like that he could level up, how special his farm was, or that he could see the IDs above their heads.

By deliberately keeping that last part a secret, he could later spot anyone with ill intentions. Before they could even make a move against him, Xie Licheng would naturally take care of them first.

"Alright, the main reason I called everyone here is to divide up the farmland. With how few people we have now, I can still help you buy some fields. But once there are more people, I won't be able to help buy them anymore. To be fair, everyone gets a plot of land—no matter their gender, age, or status."

After Xie Licheng finished, both the people he'd rescued earlier and the Gu family members were all stunned.

A maidservant asked, "Us... us servants can get land too?"

A male slave also asked, "So does our land belong to the Gu family or to us?"

Xie Licheng glanced at him. "It belongs to you. Whether you farm it yourselves or rent it out is totally up to you."

A young attendant couldn't help asking, "Then... if I have land, does that mean I don't have to be a servant for the Gu family anymore?"

Xie Licheng looked at Gu Zhangyuan, then replied, "Many of you were sold into the Gu family. If you don't want to keep serving them, you can earn money and buy back your freedom."

If these people kept serving the Gu family, the Gu family probably couldn't afford to support them all anyway.

Better to take this chance to let go of those who wanted their freedom.

On one hand, it would earn them a good reputation; on the other, it would lighten the Gu family's load.

Besides, the Gu family didn't have many people left now, so they didn't need so many servants around.

Gu Zhangyuan didn't say anything when he heard Xie Licheng, because they really didn't need that many servants.

The Gu family now had only four masters, and everyone else was servants—thirty in total.

The portable world wasn't Lingzhou—no Gu family estates, fields, or shops there.

Keeping over thirty servants was indeed a heavy burden for him.

Gu Zhangyuan said to them, "You don't need to pay the full price for your contracts. As long as each of you gives a hundred catties of grain, the Gu family will immediately set you free."

Since Gu Tinghe had been locked up, no one in the Gu family was going against Gu Zhangyuan anymore.

Among the Gu family servants, a maidservant timidly stepped forward.

She said, "Eldest Young Master, I... when I was rescued and brought in, I brought my own savings. Is this enough to buy back my contract?"

Gu Zhangyuan saw she was eager to leave and didn't stop her, even though she didn't have enough.

After taking the money, Gu Zhangyuan said, "It's enough. From now on, you're no longer a servant of the Gu family."

The maidservant burst into tears of joy. She quickly thanked Gu Zhangyuan over and over, and didn't forget to thank Xie Licheng too.

She felt that without Xie Licheng's suggestion, the young master wouldn't have let her go so easily, so she was deeply grateful to him.

Now that she had no family here, once she bought back her freedom, she wouldn't have to worry about being sold by her family again.

She would have her own land, and with Xie Licheng here to keep order, no ruffians would steal her fields. She really liked it here.

After handling the maidservant's situation, Xie Licheng began handing out the farmland to everyone.

Xie Licheng said to them, "The situation in my world is quite special. Land you reclaim yourselves will produce very little. Only fields I buy through the shop can grow high-yield grain. I've bought 100 plots of land now. Follow me to the south side of the village, and I'll put all the fields there."

With that, Xie Licheng headed south of Peach Blossom Village, where there was a big stretch of wasteland near the main road out of the village.

When Xie Licheng brought everyone over, he took the fields out of his inventory and placed them.

Each plot was one mu. From east to west, he numbered every field.

Then, as people came to claim their fields, he wrote their names next to the numbers, and the land was theirs.

The numbering was made in duplicate—Xie Licheng kept one copy, and each person held one.

Plot No. 1 went to Xiao Ruan—she was always eager about everything.

Seeing that even Xiao Ruan, a ten-year-old girl, could get land, everyone immediately lined up to claim theirs.

After that, the record-keeping was handed over to Gu Zhangyuan and Gu Yangxue. Both were literate and knew how to keep accounts, so Xie Licheng could take it easy with them handling it.

Plot No. 2 went to Gu Zhangyuan, No. 3 to Gu Yangxue, No. 4 to the Gu family's eldest master, No. 5...

Afterward, whether men, women, gē'ér, or even the elderly, everyone received land from Xie Licheng.

Probably thinking it would be stupid to turn down free land, Xie Licheng was a bit surprised that the old physician's family also came to claim some.

They wouldn't be leaving for now, and since Xie Licheng said they could leave anytime, they figured they might as well claim a plot and farm it while they stayed.

Whether they stayed or left later, having land would put their minds at ease.

Also, the outside world was in chaos now, and their family had both the elderly and the very young.

Even if they managed to leave the city, they weren't guaranteed to survive.

The old physician thought it better to stay for now and see how things played out later.

In the end, out of the 100 plots, 89 were handed out, leaving 11.

Xie Licheng figured that since Gu Zhangyuan was his husband, he simply gave all the remaining 11 plots to him.

Xie Licheng's farm already had a few fields, and he didn't even have time to cultivate those. The rest of the fields would just lie fallow under his care.

Now that Gu Zhangyuan had married him, he had to treat Gu Zhangyuan differently from everyone else.

If everyone else had one field and Gu Zhangyuan also had just one, then there wouldn't be much distinction between them.

Without that distinction, why would Gu Zhangyuan agree to be his spouse?

Seeing Xie Licheng register all the remaining 11 fields under Gu Zhangyuan's name, both the Eldest Master of the Gu Family and Yuan Qiao the wet nurse couldn't help but be genuinely thrilled for Gu Zhangyuan.

Gu Zhangyuan's husband knew how to treat him right, so they wouldn't have to worry about him being mistreated in the future.
