Chapter 2132: Just Want to Live in Peace
Ning Shu looked at Gu Rui and asked, “Gu Rui, what was Mo Juechen talking about?”
Gu Rui closed the bottle of ointment and said lightly, “Something very attractive.”
“What thing? Does it attract you too?” Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. Was the old man’s death related to these people?
“No, I don’t care about things like that. Now, I just want to live in peace.” Gu Rui put away the ointment box.
He didn’t care? Ning Shu wouldn’t believe that.
“What is it?” Ning Shu asked.
Gu Rui shook his head. “I also don’t know. Didn’t Foster Father give you something?”
Ning Shu: →_→
She didn’t know anything at all. With no plot and no memory, she didn’t know a dang thing.
Whether the old man gave anything to Fang Lanxin was uncertain. Maybe she was given something, maybe she wasn’t. Perhaps in the original storyline, whatever the old man had given her was taken by the three men.
Even with the young Li Jiuge, Ning Shu couldn’t feel at ease.
What was it about this tiny and insignificant Fang family that had attracted all three of those mighty masters at the same time?
Ning Shu didn’t think people like Gu Rui would be content with staying in the Fang family. Some people weren’t destined to be ordinary and would always break the status quo.
“Don’t mess with Mo Juechen, he’s the leader of the demonic sect. All the righteous sects are out for his blood. He kills people like flies, so it’s best not to mess with him,” Gu Rui said lightly.
Ning Shu: …
As expected, Mo Juechen was a member of the demonic sect. He definitely had the independence and aloofness of a member of the demonic sect. He completely embodied the sentence, ‘I’m a villain and I’m proud of that.’
“So, can I know who you and Li Jiuge are?” Ning Shu asked.
“Jiuge is the son of the Rong Kingdom’s queen. His mother’s family was executed and the queen’s position was abolished. He was sent here by the palace servants. There’s no longer a place for him in the Rong Kingdom.”
Ning Shu: …
So he used to be a prince.
Now, his current situation wasn’t even as good as an ordinary person’s.
“Then what about you?” Ning Shu asked. She had a hunch that Gu Rui also had an impressive background.
“I…” Gu Rui said with an indifferent expression. “I am the prince of the Jia Kingdom.”
Ning Shu: …
“I carry the blood of the previous dynasty.” Gu Rui looked at Ning Shu. “Are you scared?”
He had the previous dynasty’s blood, so he could be considered the remnants of a fallen kingdom. The Jia Kingdom had perished and the current dynasty’s royal family firmly occupied the imperial palace.
Ning Shu: F*ck f*ck f*ck…
The old man was really too amazing. The three adopted sons are all so impressive. If any of them were to be discovered by others, the Fang family would most definitely cease to exist.
“Um, have you ever thought about reviving your kingdom?” Ning Shu asked.
Gu Rui said indifferently, “Dynasties change as history changes. It’s basically impossible to restore my kingdom, even if I wanted to.”
“I never waste time on impossible things,” Gu Rui said. He glanced at Ning Shu’s swollen hand. “Keep the wound dry for a few days.”
“By the way, since Foster Father has passed away, do you want to manage the Fang family’s business?” Gu Rui looked at Ning Shu gently.
Ning Shu couldn’t tell if Gu Rui was being sincere or if he was testing her. She waved her hand. “I’m a woman, how can I manage a business? I don’t understand anything about it.”
“You can learn what you don’t know. How about this? I’ll give you the monthly income and expenditure account. I’ll teach you anything you don’t understand,” Gu Rui said gently to Ning Shu.
No matter what, Ning Shu would always be vigilant when dealing with Gu Rui.
