Shao Qingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and squeezed her hand. “I’ll handle this.”

Gu Yundong pursed her lips but did not retort, although she really wanted to vent her anger for him personally.

However, it was obvious that regarding this matter, Shao Qingyuan could intimidate the Li family even more badly, lest there was a next time.

“Alright, then let them be on tenterhooks for a few more days.”

After hearing Shao Qingyuan’s background, Gu Dajiang sighed in his heart. He stood up. “Rest well. We’ll talk about other things after you recover.”

As he spoke, he stood up and walked out. Forget it, forget it. Since they were already engaged, he would let the young ones talk alone.

He left the room with mixed feelings and returned to his room.

Xue Rong followed closely behind and saw his master sitting in front of the desk with a frown.

After a long time, Gu Dajiang said to him, “Xue Rong, help me bring Tong An over.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Not long after, Tong An came in. He looked like he had just returned from the workshop. There seemed to be a sweet smell on his body.

Seeing this, Gu Dajiang pushed a cup of tea over. Seeing that he had drunk it, he asked, “Tong An, do you know the Tao family in the county city?”

“Master, are you referring to the Tao family, who is in the wine business?”

“Yes, tell me about the Tao family.”

Tong An was a little puzzled. Why did the old master want to learn about the Tao family?

However, he did not ask anything and dutifully told his old master what he knew.

Of all the information, the most important was the huge bet between the Tao family and the Liu family, as well as the scene where the white sugar made by the young lady shocked everyone and even sold for a high price.

“By the way, our shop in the county now, Gu’s, used to belong to the Tao family.”

Gu Dajiang really didn’t know that there were so many grudges between them, nor did he know that Yundong had already formed a feud with the second young master of the Tao family.

As expected, the Tao family was really despicable.

The Liu family had a powerful background. Yundong had told him about this before.

Gu Dajiang felt that the Tao family, which could challenge the Liu family, definitely had a backer too. Of course, their backer might not be as strong as the Liu family’s.

However, compared to the Gu family, the Tao family alone was enough to crush them into the soil.

If one day, the Tao family suddenly thought of Shao Qingyuan, their son, and found out that not only was he not depressed, but he was also becoming more and more promising. He even had money and a beautiful wife. Wouldn’t they think of ways to deal with him?

Not only him, but even Gu Dajiang’s daughter would become their target. Perhaps they might as well settle the old and new scores together.

When Gu Dajiang thought of this, he felt a little anxious.

As expected, Yundong was right. Their family didn’t lack money now, but they lacked connections and background.

No, he had to quickly read. In two days, he would go to the academy in the prefectural city to meet Mountain Elder Qi. If he passed the test, he would be able to study in the academy and strive to take the imperial examination as soon as possible. Not to mention how high his ranking was, even if he was an Elementary Scholar, he would still have a good title.

As Gu Dajiang thought about it, he simply stood up and went to the bookcase to get the books Qin Wenzheng had given him.

Although he had been very busy for the past two days, he had taken the time to read a book.

Qin Wenzheng had given him books that he had read before. There were many notes on them. To Gu Dajiang, these were very rare and precious things.

Tong An and Xue Rong found it strange that their master had suddenly become diligent. However, they did not ask further and quietly left the room.
