Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

More than an hour later.

Gu Chancai brought Nangong Jin back to the lord's mansion at a leisurely pace.

And it was this time that Nangong Jin was stunned on the spot. When he was in Nancheng before, he didn't take Gu Chan seriously at all, but now seeing that Gu Chan owned such a luxurious mansion, he began to re-evaluate Gu Chan in his heart.

As Gu Chan led him into the gate, she sneered and said, "Young Prince, you must be careful with your words when you meet your father. After all, your lives are now in the hands of General Zuo. Don't say the wrong thing and bring disaster upon yourself. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Okay, thank you for the reminder, Lord." Nangong Jin said politely.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes at him and then walked towards the front lobby.

Nangong Jin hurriedly followed and couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He had to admit one thing, that was the powerful aura that Gu Chan exuded now, which was incomparable to when she was in South City before.

So now he is still quite afraid of Gu Chan and dare not be as presumptuous as before.

After the two entered the lobby of the front yard, they discovered that Zuo Wangfeng, Shuiyue and Nangong Song had already been sitting at the table waiting quietly.

As the chief steward, Wei Xing naturally sat aside to accompany the guests. When he saw Gu Chan coming back, he stood up and said, "Lord, you are finally back. General Zuo and the others have been here for more than half an hour and have been waiting for you!"

"Okay, go and do your own thing! I'll entertain them." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

Wei Xing nodded quietly, took his leave and left.

Gu Chan walked to the first seat and sat down, then she picked up the hot tea brought by the maid and drank it slowly.

Nangong Song stood up with a distressed look on his face, rushed to his son, took his hand and said, "Oh my God! What on earth have you been through during this period of time? Why are you so thin? And why were you beaten so badly?"

Nangong Jin tilted his head to glance at Shuiyue who was sitting next to him, pretending not to care and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'm very energetic now, nothing is wrong."

"Then you should sit down and have a good rest." Nangong Song said with concern.

Then he pulled his son to sit down, and the father and son fell silent, not saying much about what had happened during this period.

Gu Chan saw that they had finished reminiscing about the past, then she stared at Zuo Wangfeng and said, "General Zuo, the Southern Wise King is here to take his son, why are you two following him?"

"Isn't the Jiangnan Poetry Festival being held tomorrow? We wanted to join in the fun, so we followed along. I'm sure the Lord won't mind, right?" Zuo Wangfeng said with a dagger hidden in his smile.

"Of course I don't mind. The Jiangnan Poetry Festival is an annual grand event in the Jiangnan area. It is a glory for the poetry festival that you are willing to come and join in the fun." Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

Zuo Wangfeng immediately stood up and said, "Then, Lord, we will not bother you any longer. We will leave first."

"General Zuo, I won't send you any more." Gu Chan said.

Zuo Wangfeng said no more and immediately led Shuiyue and King Nanxian and his son away.

After a while, the four of them left the lord's mansion in a carriage and headed towards the south of Jiangnan City.

Not long after they left, Wei Xing walked into the lobby with a sneer, sat next to Gu Chan and said, "Should we send someone to monitor them?"

"No need. With Zuo Wangfeng and Shuiyue's abilities, it will be useless no matter who we send." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

"Looking at them, they don't look like they are here to participate in tomorrow's poetry reading. Instead, they seem to be here to find out about the city's defenses. If they find out about the city's defenses, it will be much easier for them to attack Jiangnan City after the poetry reading." Wei Xing reminded in time.

Gu Chan didn't care about it at all. "I know what's going on. Just take care of the Lord's Mansion for me during this period of time. As for the subsequent military exercises, I have my own way to deal with him."

"Okay then! I won't say much about this." Wei Xing said with a smile.

"By the way, how are Cheng Hao and Yuan Ying doing?" Gu Chan asked.

Wei Xing sighed and said, "Don't worry! They have quietly left the city in a carriage and returned to South City before dawn. There shouldn't be any problems."

"Hmph! If anything happens to the two of them along the way, I will make Zuo Wangfeng and the others pay the price." Gu Chan said with a grim face.

After saying that, she did not stay in the lobby for too long. Instead, she stood up with a stiff face and left, going back to her room in the backyard to take a nap.

Wei Xing naturally put his mind at ease and continued to lead Yuan Jie and Ren Nanshan to take care of the affairs in the lord's mansion.

In the afternoon dusk.

While Gu Chan was still sleeping soundly on the bed, in an inn in the south of Jiangnan City.

At this time, King Nanxian and his son were hiding in a room upstairs, furious.

After settling down here, the father and son had managed to avoid the surveillance of Zuo Wangfeng's men and were able to be alone together, so at this time, they had already talked clearly about everything that had happened in recent times.

Nangong Jin naturally believed that it was Shuiyue's order that he was locked up and tortured in Jiangnan Academy by the old academician. So, after he told Nangong Song about this, he was extremely angry.

Sitting at the table, he clenched his fists tightly, gnashed his teeth and shouted angrily, "What a bastard Shuiyue! She is so cruel that she ordered the people from Jiangnan Academy to lock you up and torture you for half a month. If Gu Chan hadn't made an exchange with me to protect Cheng Hao and Yuan Ying, I'm afraid you would have continued to be tortured."

"Dad, this bitch Shuiyue relies on the fact that she is the prince's person and doesn't take you and me seriously at all. I can't swallow this humiliation and I must teach her a lesson." Nangong Jin said gritting his teeth.

"No rush. The Jiangnan Poetry Festival is about to be held. It is not advisable to cause trouble during this period. If you want to deal with her, you have to wait until the poetry festival is over and General Zuo and Gu Chan start military exercises." Nangong Song said, suppressing his anger.

Nangong Jin had no choice but to take a deep breath, calm himself down, and swallow his anger for the time being.

Nangong Song stood up and said, "You should take a good rest first and get enough rest tonight. I will send someone to Jiangnan Academy to ask the academicians there to register for you. You should also go to the poetry meeting tomorrow and try to win a good place for me."

"Ah? I'm going to participate too?" Nangong Jin said in a daze.

He never thought that Nangong Song would ask him to attend a poetry reading.

Nangong Song said seriously, "If you want to teach Shuiyue a lesson, you have to listen to me this time. As long as you can get a good ranking in the poetry meeting, I can help you teach that bitch a lesson later."

"Okay, then I'll listen to Dad." Nangong Jin agreed quickly.

"Then you should take a good rest!" Nangong Song ordered.

After saying this, he immediately left and sent someone to Jiangnan Academy to register his son.

Although Nangong Song didn't know what his father's plan was, he still obediently lay down on the bed to recuperate.
