Chapter 172 -97: The Oversight of Tearing Down the East Wall_2
Eunuch Yuan Bao nodded immediately and in agreement.
Zhou Mu and Yue Xilou lowered their heads in a moment, sympathizing with Yuan Bao, as they could imagine that he was definitely the one who had been tricked!
Sure enough, as hope was fulfilled, disappointment turned into disillusionment, and Yuan Bao became disillusioned very quickly.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll grant your wish. I’ve decided not to sack you; instead, I’ll sack General Qi and Jiang Liu, everyone in their turn, to give you enough entertainment…” With a face of standard compassionate smile, Gu Changsheng smiled like a Bodhisattva alleviating suffering.
However, the rescued Yuan Bao didn’t feel relieved at all; a deeper sadness crossed his face, “Lady Changsheng, please don’t bully me for not being smart. Even if I’m not smart, I surely can’t be considered stupid, right? When they get into trouble, how could I escape unharmed? My end would definitely be even worse than theirs…”
“Just sack me instead…” Yuan Bao had no choice but to fall back and ask for more misery.
Only then did Gu Changsheng reluctantly nodded, “Since you’re insisting so persistently that I sack you, it would be unkind of me to refuse. Oh Yuan Bao, your wish is my command…”
Yuan Bao desperately wanted to cry but was at a loss.
Yue Xilou was the first who couldn’t stand it anymore and pointed at the isolated and desolate Yuan Bao, “Girl, you seem to have forgotten the important matters in seek of fun! Don’t forget the oversight you’ve yet to address…”
With this reminder from Yue Xilou, Gu Changsheng’s mood clearly soured; he turned to Zhou Mu with a sly smile and rubbing his hands, “Uh, don’t bother the second boss with the same issue, how about you just take this pot too?”
“Like I haven’t taken enough pots? Aren’t you afraid of breaking me down?” Zhou Mu shot her a glance and coldly dropped that line.
“That’s not the way to put it. Taking pots is about strength; you need a straight back and broad shoulders, capable of carrying mountains…”
“A Xie Bi capable of carrying mountains!” Zhou Mu’s face darkened.
“Don’t look down on Xie Bi, though he might not look that great!” Gu Changsheng instinctively replied when interrupted.
Yue Xilou, standing nearby, turned her head to the side, trying to stifle a laugh.
“Is his only problem that he doesn’t look that good?” Zhou Mu’s face grew even darker.
“Cough, cough!” Gu Changsheng coughed twice, grasping the key issue, okay, Xie Bi’s appearance was indeed not pleasing; it wasn’t just a case of looking slightly bad, but rather incredibly plain!
In legend, the Dragon Child Xie Bi grew up looking like a turtle!
Thunder rolled. Who could explain why the Dragon King had a turtle son?

Even legends have their quirks, and gossip is everywhere! With such a brightly colored green hat, the Dragon King bore a tremendous loss!
“The red apricot branches out of the wall” really is ubiquitous, even legends are not exempt, life is tough!
She couldn’t have accidentally hinted at some imperial family scandal, could she?
Luminous with spirit!
“That one, let us not focus on someone’s looks, even if someone is unattractive, after all, he is a Dragon Child, isn’t he? Impure blood does not change the essence of one’s ability to lift mountains like a celestial. This is quite similar to you, both are descendants of dragons, no one should despise the other!”
“Pfft…” Yue Xilou couldn’t hold back and laughed aloud.
That statement sounded quite ambiguous, insinuating something about Zhou Mu’s lineage!
Eunuch Yuan Bao, unusually clever for once, quickly spoke up to defend his master, “My master is nothing like Xie Bi! My master is the legitimate eldest son of the Former Crown Prince and his wife, Madam Zheng, bearing the Imperial Golden Butterfly!”
“Yuan Bao!” Zhou Mu frowned and coldly reprimanded in a tone, how inappropriate this woman was, and yet Yuan Bao even followed her lead!
What they call making it worse as you try to explain, this was it!
“Without any taboo, you even dare to blaspheme the deities, do you even remember my warning about being cautious with your words?” Zhou Mu straightened his countenance, looking toward Gu Changsheng.
Gu Changsheng clearly knew he had breached the ancient taboos, oh how superstitious and foolish the ancients were with their belief in deities!
“Without any taboo, may the deities forgive me, if you must blame someone, blame him, he was the first to scorn your ugly appearance!” While praying with hands pressed together, he pointed at Zhou Mu, bearing the brunt was still a must!
Encountering such baseless matters as crossing over, what if three feet off the ground there really were deities? Who could know for sure, just follow the flow and a little foolishness won’t cost us a piece of flesh!
Zhou Mu shook his head and did not speak further.
“Evildoer, look, what’s real becomes fake and what’s fake seems real, the unreal mixing with the real. Unintentionally, I’ve created shade where there was none. Speaking of which, I was considering going up the mountain in a few days, to persuade those Mountain Bandits to leave before the Court sends troops. Now it seems, I’ve saved quite a bit of trouble…” If those mountain bandits really were mountain bandits, being surrounded by the Court would indeed be an injustice!
“This kind of fooling the public, is intended for ordinary people to see, how can you deceive the eyes of those at the higher levels? Prince Liang is taking advantage of your vulnerability to take your life, reaching for your old den nefariously, and you retaliate, causing him financial loss. I suppose your Imperial Grandfather, while using you, isn’t about to demolish the bridge before crossing it?” Gu Changsheng thought cleverly as he considered Zhou Mu’s situation.
“It’s rare for you to consider my situation, I naturally still uphold that responsibility.” Zhou Mu looked at her shifting expressions, helplessly shaking his head.
“I knew it, with you here, everything’s solid!” Being involved too long isn’t that easy to shake off, Zhou Mu was indeed a scheming man, oh such a scheming man!
Zhou Mu furrowed his brow and shook his head.
“Now I understand what it means to ‘stand in the shade of a large tree.’ Girl, you really picked a good mountain to lean on!” Yue Xilou, leaning against the railing, extended a thumbs-up to Gu Changsheng teasingly.
“It’s simply a mutually beneficial arrangement, I fell into his pit, naturally, he has to be responsible for pulling me out, no debts owed!” Gu Changsheng shrugged his shoulders, returning an ‘as it should be’ smile to him.
Eunuch Yuan Bao looked at his master with a face full of grievances. Such an injustice, efforts unappreciated, has Lady Changsheng developed a heart at all?
The important discussion had just concluded on their side when Xiao Cui and Dong Lei, having participated in the celebratory report event in Mountain-Foot Village, pushed the door and returned.
