Gu Yuan had waited for nine years before he had a chance to seek justice for his father.

They had all grown up together. Even if Gu Yuan had never spoken, they all knew what Gu Yuan had been working hard for all these years. He had joined the army and charged into the battlefield to fight for military merit with his life. All of this was for a goal. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now, he finally saw hope.

Even if they couldn’t help much, they hoped to help Gu Yuan sweep away those thorns that were an eyesore.

“We won’t go back unless we’re drunk today!” Lu Shi strode in Gu Yuan’s direction. “Don’t ruin everyone’s mood for those sinister villains.”

As they chatted and laughed, the young masters surrounded Gu Yuan and walked towards the water pavilion.

The atmosphere returned to its previous lively state.

Fan Beiran smiled and put his arm around Gu Yuan’s shoulder. “Ah Yuan, this pear blossom white and bamboo leaf isn’t satisfying to drink. Do you have vodka here?”

“If not, I’ll get someone to go out and buy it!”

As soon as Fan Beiran spoke, it immediately attracted a wave of enthusiastic agreement. No one cared about Gu Yuan’s opinion.

After a cup of tea, 10 jars of vodka were sent to the water pavilion. By the time these wine jars were all emptied, four hours had passed, and those young masters were all drunk.

Of course, Gu Yuan didn’t let them ride away. Some of them rested in the guest rooms of the Gu Mansion, while others were sent back by the Gu family’s carriage…

After settling everyone down, Gu Yuan brought the smell of alcohol to Yuheng Garden.

The courtyard was quiet and peaceful, filled with a rich bamboo and flower fragrance. The colorful flowers swayed gently among the emerald branches and leaves, quiet and elegant.

Gu Yuan walked through Yuheng Garden with familiarity and arrived at Gu Yanfei’s small study.

After he lifted the curtain, the scene in front of him stunned him. He saw that there were talismans stuck to the bookshelves, desks, and cabinets in the house. The window on the east side was wide open, and a breeze curled up. The hundreds of talismans trembled.

The girl in front of him was leaning against the table with her back facing him.

At first glance, this scene was really strange. It really didn’t look like a house of a well-bred lady.

However, Gu Yuan smiled slightly and felt warm.

To him, it was fine as long as his sister was happy.

He looked at the girl in front of him quietly for a long time before walking forward. He lightened his footsteps and quietly walked to Gu Yanfei’s side to sit down. Gu Yanfei was focused on drawing talismans.

“Have they all left?” Gu Yanfei asked casually as she put away her pen.

Gu Yuan leaned lazily against the window sill and said with a smile, “The others have all left. Only Fan Beiran and Yue Jun are staying in the residence today.”

“Fan Beiran praised our vodka for being stronger than elsewhere. He even asked me to ask you where you bought it.”

His eyes were very clear and bright, and his consciousness was very clear.

Everyone in the Gu family had a good tolerance for alcohol. Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei were the same.

“Those wines are all from Qiongfang Shop.” Gu Yanfei smiled and said heroically, “Since he likes them, let him bring a few jars with him when he leaves. I’ve saved a whole cellar of wine at home. Let him choose whatever he wants.”

Gu Yuan smiled and raised his hand to rub his sister’s soft head. “My sister is so generous.”

“It’s my duty.” Gu Yanfei smiled generously and brightly.

Throw me a wooden peach, and I’ll repay you with a jade treasure.

There was always reciprocation between people.

As the siblings spoke, Juan Bi brought over a cup of hot hangover tea.

Gu Yuan finished this cup of hangover tea in one gulp. It tasted even worse than medicine.

With the thought of sharing blessings, he specially instructed Juan Bi, “Get the pantry to boil hangover tea. When Fan Beiran and Yue Jun wake up, send it to them too.”

Juan Bi misunderstood and nodded repeatedly. He replied seriously, “Don’t worry, Master. I’ll remind them. I won’t neglect the two young masters.”

She walked away quickly.

Gu Yuan pursed his lips, and a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. “Gu Xiao brought the Embroidered Uniform Guards over in the morning and found a secret room in the small garden…”

The taste in his mouth was bitter. Gu Yuan subconsciously frowned.

Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows and casually pulled out a talisman from the side. She slapped Gu Yuan’s forehead.

If anyone else had dared to attack Gu Yuan like this, they would have been sent flying by him. However, in front of Gu Yanfei, he was extremely obedient and didn’t move.

After a while, Gu Yuan pursed his lips, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The bitterness in his mouth actually turned into a sweet taste.

Gu Yanfei raised her chin proudly. “It’s not bitter anymore, right?”

“It’s not bitter anymore.” Gu Yuan nodded and smiled.

”1 drew a lot of talismans today.” Gu Yanfei tugged at his sleeve and boasted proudly, “Look, this immobilization talisman can make people not move at all. It’s like the acupuncture points in drawing books. This wine talisman can turn water into wine. It’s most suitable for socializing.”

Seeing that his sister was in high spirits, Gu Yuan cooperatively pointed at the talisman she had just drawn and asked, “Then this?”

“This is a failed product.” Gu Yanfei crumpled the talisman into a ball and looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist.

It had only been a few months, but this was already the fourth jade artifact she had found that contained spiritual energy.

She had been thinking for the past two days that she might be able to design a Spirit Gathering Talisman for her compass. Perhaps she could find an ancient artifact with spiritual energy on the compass.

In the end, she didn’t draw this Spirit Gathering Talisman. Instead, she unintentionally drew a pile of other talismans.

The siblings chatted and laughed. When the sun was setting in the west, Juan Bi suddenly ran in energetically and reported happily, “Eldest Young Master, Fourth Young Master Lu has just sent his servant over. He said that Commander He has just brought people to the Second Master’s house in Reed Alley.”

“They said that the old lady is hiding a criminal from the imperial court and wants to search the Second Master’s residence.”

Thinking of the Embroidered Uniform Guards searching the residence in the morning, Juan Bi still felt a little afraid..
