Chapter 86
Supporting Yu Fu
“Gu HuaiJiang, that brash man . He doesn’t understand shit!”
In the distant mountains, fire-red maple leaves drifted around in circles on the surface of the water .
A horrifying and shocking shout shook the surroundings, causing three ripples to appear on the surface of the water . Even the maple leaves stopped spinning around .
“Oh no, oh no, master is going crazy again . Let’s quickly get out of here!”
Two young children who were playing near the water quietly snuck off into the forest . Even more people began to seek higher ground .
This place had quite a few exquisite pavilions and buildings . Looking up from the bottom of the valley, the tops of cliffs hid above the clouds . Anything further above that could not be seen .
That was where Xun Chi, the Deity of Medicine, lived in Immortals Valley .
“This Gu HuaiJiang is both literate and skilled in military affairs, so why is it that he isn’t even able to take proper care of a child? If not for Yu Fu herself saying that she wanted to go with him, I would not have allowed him to take Yu Fu away! Who knew that this bastard would have no clue how to take care of a child . You lot, quickly go and bring Yu Fu back for me!”
Two people stood trembling outside the door . Dressed in grey clothes, they cautiously set foot inside the room .
Behind the many layers of thin white curtains was Xun Chi, dressed in white clothes, pacing back and forth . His footsteps were as ethereal as a deity; however, his tone was extremely explosive .
“Deity of Medicine, please calm down . Based on our investigation, Marquis Gu is treating young miss Yu Fu very well . It’s just that Eastern Ling has people who look upon Marquis Gu’s Manor negatively . That is why they would do something like push Yu Fu into the water…”
“Then that’s all the more reason to bring Yu Fu back!”
Xun Chi instantly cut them off . Thinking about how Yu Fu was suffering while with someone else, he felt extremely miserable .
The two outside the door exchanged a glance then hesitantly said: “But the people who have been pursuing young miss Yu Fu have not yet left Immortals Valley . To bring her back at a time like this, wouldn’t the sorrow of sending her off the first time have been wasted?”
“Hmph . ”
Xun Chi angrily snorted . With the many curtains muffling this sound, it sounded much calmer .
“Alright, then don’t bring her back for now . But we must not allow Yu Fu to suffer in Eastern Ling . Go and fetch Kun WuShang . Have him personally go to Eastern Ling to support Yu Fu!”
…
In Marquis Gu’s Manor, Yu Fu spent quite a few days thinking before coming up with a method for getting Madam Su to like her .
“Aunty, quickly come and taste the dumplings!”
The days were gradually getting colder . All of the windows in the room were closed, and it would be time to start burning charcoal for warmth after a few more days .

Madam Su looked outside through a window at the grey sky, as feelings of loneliness filled her heart . Suddenly, she heard the voice of Gu WenQing and the others .
The maidservants had also become lively, but she could not tell what they were saying .
She stood up in shock, wanting to see what exactly had happened . There, she saw Gu WenQing personally carrying a stove over . There were even some small pots simmering on it .
“WenQing, why are you carrying it yourself? Are you not worried about burning your hands!”
Madam Su was both happy and worried . If his hands that were used for martial arts were injured even a little, would Eastern Ling not have lost another talent?
“It’s fine, aunty . ”
Gu WenQing smiled while bringing the stove over to the table . Seeing Su YunYan come out from the inner room, he smiled and waved to her, “YunYan, you come and have a taste too . The dumplings were made using fresh wild board meat . It has a rare wild taste to it . It was hunted by eldest brother and the princes . ”
The wild boar did not matter, but the kind intentions behind Gu WenQing personally bringing a stove over were worth far more than any wild meat .
“Alright . ”
Su YunYan walked over with a smile, “Fourth brother, you should also sit and eat!”

Gu WenQing’s calm demeanor was always likable . Even Su YunYan dropped her obstinate attitude upon seeing him .
The maidservants came over and ladled the dumplings out onto a plate . Madam Su took a look, and her heart instantly warmed up .
The dumplings were in a weird shape, making it clear that they had not been made by the kitchen staff . They must have been made by Gu WenQing and the others .
They looked ugly, but the feelings behind them left a pleasant aftertaste .
At first, Madam Su was a little worried about whether or not her nephew would bear a grudge with her over Yu Fu . Now that she saw Gu WenQing bring her dumplings that they had made, she felt at ease .
“Aunty, are they good?”
“They do taste good, but they’re really ugly…”
Su YunYan picked up a dumpling and bit it in half . Looking at Madam Su’s expression, she suddenly realized something was off .
“Fourth brother, this… would not happen to have been made by you guys, right?”
Dumplings made by a group of men, it was understandable that they would look a bit laughable but also be especially heartwarming .

It was no wonder the usually picky Madam Su had eaten a number of dumplings in a row without saying a single word about their unsightly appearance .
“They taste good, very good . ”
Madam Su repeatedly praised him . Looking at Gu WenQing’s handsome figure, she felt even happier .
Of the six sons, when it came to being understanding, Gu WenQing ranked first .
She did not have hopes that Su YunYan would be able to marry Gu ShuBai, as he was the heir to Marquis Gu’s Manor and the future Lord Marquis . He would need a wife from an equally noble family .
She just hoped that Su YunYan would be able to marry someone like Gu WenQing . Even if she was a little willful, she would be taken care of…
“WenQing, these dumplings were made by you guys, right? I’ve really troubled you . Aunty knows how filial you are . ”
Gu WenQing smiled, maintaining his usual calmness, “Aunty, these dumplings were made by Yu Fu . It was Yu Fu showing respect to you . ”
What?
Made by Yu Fu?
Su YunYan put down her chopsticks and very vigilantly said: “Why is she being so kind? There wouldn’t be any poison in these dumplings, right? I heard the servants say that she’s a practitioner of poison . She even poisoned Qi Ting!”
