When Shao Qingyuan wanted to follow him in, the door was suddenly closed and there was no more movement.

He pursed his lips and sighed inwardly.

‘True enough.’

He did not say anything and did not knock on the door. He just stood outside the door and faced the Gu family’s house.

Madam Dong, Ah Mao, and the others were all shocked. They stood at the corner and looked at each other, talking softly.

“What’s going on?”

“Didn’t they say that Uncle Gu is easy to talk to? Why did you close the door directly? He doesn’t even have time to understand our young master’s character.”

“That’s right. I think you might not know that our Young Master has been rejected.”

“Don’t all actors sing like this? As fathers, they look down on poor boys, so they deliberately don’t let the two of them meet and take the opportunity to break them up.”

“But our young master isn’t… poor, right?”

“Compared to Young Master Liu in the county, he’s poor.”

“Could it be that Uncle Gu wants to matchmake Miss with the young master of the Liu family?”

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Ah Shu, who was the last to speak.

In the end, Ah Mao said, “Let’s go and bring Young Master back first. Then, we can sit down and discuss how to enter the Gu family.”

As he spoke, he was about to walk towards Shao Qingyuan. Unfortunately, Madam Dong pulled him back.

“What are you going to do?” She glared at them. “Can’t you tell? That’s a test for our future father-in-law, understand? There are also families in our village who dote on their daughters. They will deliberately make things difficult for their son-in-law when he comes for the first time.”

“Is that so?”

Madam Dong nodded affirmatively. “That’s right. When the Sixth Grandfather in our village married his daughter, he asked the groom to help him with half a day’s work. Yundong’s father is a refined man, so he won’t torture Qingyuan like this. I reckon he’ll just stand outside for a while to test his patience.”

“How long will that take?”

Madam Dong was not sure about this. “It shouldn’t be long.”

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at the scorching sun above her, feeling a little worried.

The sun was so bright and the weather was so hot. She hoped that he would not get a heatstroke later.

No, she had to go back and prepare some honeysuckle.

Seeing that she had left, Ah Mao and the other three looked at each other with even more worry in their eyes.

At the same time, in the Gu family’s courtyard, Gu Yundong also looked helplessly at her father’s back as he returned to his room.

She wanted to say something, but Aunt Ke pulled her back.

“Don’t add fuel to the fire. Let me tell you, if you speak up for Shao Qingyuan, he will have to stand outside for another two hours. Do you believe me?”

Of course, Gu Yundong believed her. “But in this weather, he just came back from the mountains. He won’t be able to take it later.”

Aunt Ke glanced at her. “Even if he can’t take it, he has to deal with it. If he wants to marry someone else’s daughter, it won’t make sense if he doesn’t suffer a little. Besides, someone like Shao Qingyuan will be fine standing under the sun for the entire day. Don’t worry.”

In the past, Aunt Ke could not interfere too much in Gu Yundong’s private matters because of her status.

Otherwise, she would have wanted to make things difficult for Shao Qingyuan. The main reason was that Gu Yundong was too disappointing. She had given herself away so easily.

Now that Gu Dajiang was back, as a father, he had to let Shao Qingyuan know that the Gu family’s daughter was a treasure. She couldn’t be casually married.

The harder it was to obtain, the more one knew how to cherish it.

Gu Yundong could only sit back down. She could not go out to take a look either. On the other hand, Gu Yunshu, who was resting at home, stole a glance outside. Then, he hurriedly ran to Gu Dajiang’s room and asked him, “Father, are you making things difficult for my Brother Shao because of Eldest Sister’s previous fiance?”
