Chapter 2370: Chapter 2374: Don’t Cry, Honey—Let Me Comfort You!
"Qin the Second said he was bragging and provoked him, saying, ’If you can go to the mountains and hunt a wild boar for me, then I’ll believe you can support yourself. I’ll let you stay.’
"Is he insane?" Ye Xingbei was furious, "The mountains are so dangerous, and he let a kid go to hunt wild boar. Isn’t he afraid the kid will be eaten by wild animals?"
"Of course he’s not afraid," Gu Junzhu said, "He would love for Qin Junye to be eaten by wild animals. He could inherit his father’s estate and wouldn’t have to raise his father’s child. Why would he be afraid of Qin Junye being eaten by wild animals?"
"He’s too vicious!" Ye Xingbei’s face turned pale with anger, "I really want to beat him up!"
"No problem," Gu Junzhu said, "As long as you want, I’ll definitely give you that opportunity."
Ye Xingbei: "..."
Gu Junzhu laughed and ruffled her hair: "Don’t be mad. When heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility on someone, it first tests their resolve, strains their muscles and bones, starves their bodies, and empties their minds. If Qin the Second hadn’t come up with this bad idea, how would we have met Qin Junye, discovered his exceptional talent, and become eager to nurture him?"
"It’s precisely because of Qin the Second’s bad intentions that Qin Junye had the opportunity to meet us. Following us, he will have a completely different destiny. It’s actually his good fortune."
Ye Xingbei: "That’s true, but I’m still so angry!"
"It’s fine," Gu Junzhu comfortingly patted her, "Don’t worry, if anyone makes my wife angry, I’ll definitely avenge her. Just wait. Before we go home, I’ll definitely settle this matter for you."
Ye Xingbei: "..."
She believed him.
When it comes to dealing with people, Fifth Lord of Gu is the best!
"Where’s that kid now?" Ye Xingbei said, "Qin the Second asked that child to hunt a wild boar, the child did it, isn’t he supposed to keep his promise and let the child return home?"
"Qin the Second didn’t believe him, said Qin Junye was bragging," Gu Junzhu said, "The wild boar is so heavy, Qin Junye couldn’t bring it down the mountain. He could only take Qin the Second up the mountain to see it. Qin the Second said he was lying, scolded him badly, and even wanted to hit him. That’s when he ran away."
Ye Xingbei was so angry her stomach hurt, "Qin the Second is so shameless!"
"Eh..." Gu Junzhu thought of something, "Qin the Second is from your village. Do you know him?"
"I don’t," Ye Xingbei shook her head, "At that time, I rarely went out, and if I did, it was to help with family chores. I only know the few families living near my house."
"Poor thing," Gu Junzhu touched the back of her head, "Don’t cry, husband loves you!"
Ye Xingbei: "I wasn’t crying to begin with, okay?"
"Who says?" Gu Junzhu leaned close to her ear and laughed, "Aren’t you often begging me to be gentler while crying?"
"..." Ye Xingbei gave him a hard slap, gritting her teeth, "Gu, Jun, Zhu!"
Gu Junzhu laughed heartily, grabbed her wrist, and kissed it: "Let’s talk seriously! We’re discussing serious matters!"
"Get lost!" Ye Xingbei angrily hit him a few more times with her other hand, "Can you even talk about serious matters? You’re full of indecent thoughts!"
"Of course I have serious matters," Gu Junzhu said, "For example, I need to consult you on whether I should accept Qin Junye as my apprentice."
Ye Xingbei gave him a couple more slaps before considering his question.
She thought for a moment and said, "I think, when it comes to taking on an apprentice, ability is secondary; character is the priority. So, we shouldn’t jump to conclusions too early. If Qin Junye is willing, we can take him home first and observe his character."
