The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 996 - 991: Searcy’s Urgent Matter

Can’t people just live a little in their own world anymore?

Searcy was anxious to see me, I knew it the moment she blocked the door.

The maid outside spoke with difficulty, "But Miss Searcy is very adamant and insists on seeing you."

Gu Youyou frowned deeply, put down her chopsticks, and said to Jin Zijin, "If it were up to me, really, nobody could handle her. You keep eating, I’ll be back in a moment."

Just to avoid being constantly disturbed every other day.

"Go ahead!" Jin Zijin still looked as gentle as ever, showing no sign of anger.

Outside in the courtyard was Searcy’s resentful face. She had been blocked by Jin Zijin’s people from entering, and upon seeing Gu Youyou come out, she was infuriated.

"Hmph, lust blinds the wise."

Gu Youyou stumbled and nearly took a fall.

"Bring her in," Gu Youyou said indifferently.

In a side room, Gu Youyou sat down, resting her arms on the armrest, and after sending the maids away, she asked, "What urgent matter do you have that can’t wait for me to get married in peace? Is there anything more urgent than my own wedding? I am already in my twenties, just getting married now, do you think that was easy for me?"

"It’s all the trouble you caused me," Searcy said irritably. "The last time you rendered King Jin impotent but made me treat him with acupuncture. Since then, whenever he sees me, he’s like a cat that’s seen a fish. Yesterday, he got drunk and went mad in the backyard, almost violating me. If I hadn’t knocked him out with a needle, I might have lost my chastity by now."

Gu Youyou raised an eyebrow; she had anticipated that Searcy might run into trouble yesterday, but she thought it would be with the Lu Family, not King Jin.

Last time, Gu Youyou went to Lin Qianqing’s flower appreciation event and was almost tricked by King Jin. In retaliation, she turned the tables on him and left the mess for Searcy to deal with, never expecting to cause Searcy such a rotten peach blossom (trouble).

"What do you want me to do?" Gu Youyou asked playfully, feeling a bit like she was enjoying a disaster.

Searcy had really met her nemesis.

Searcy said, "It’s your mess, so naturally you should solve it. I don’t care, just deal with King Jin’s issue, or I’ll spread the word about your impotence curse on him. The first to know will be the eldest Prince, and he’d surely love to hear such gossip about his new bride."

"Heh..." Gu Youyou laughed. "Zijin would just clap and cheer if he knew!"

Searcy scowled and said, "Anyway, find a solution, or I’ll just poison King Jin and end it all."

Gu Youyou’s mouth twitched; she believed Searcy was capable of such an act.

Joking aside, King Jin was the lifeline of the Empress and the Ducal Residence. If their lifeline were cut, they’d turn into mad dogs out for blood, and the whole Zhuzhao Country would fall into chaos.

Gu Youyou sighed and said helplessly, "Just hide here in the residence, don’t go anywhere, and he won’t be able to do anything to you."

After all, everyone still needed to maintain appearances publicly.

Searcy remained silent while Gu Youyou added, "Actually, we’re in need of a coachman. In a few days, I’ll have someone talk to the Gui family outside the city to see if they’re willing to hire a professional coachman for a high salary."

Searcy’s eyes lit up, but she still huffed, "What kind of professional coachman would they have? Someone like Gui Yunxi, who can drive a carriage into a ditch?"

"That’s because he was so hungry he was seeing stars."

Gu Youyou had indeed heard about Searcy’s notorious treatment of her slaves.

"Whatever, it’s your Silver being spent," Searcy said irritably.

Then she stood up and left the courtyard.
