Chapter 1997 The Lu Family Has a Secret

Duke Zhenguo smiled and did not answer.

Gu Shouxin did not force him to answer, and said with a smile: "The marriage of the girls in our Gu family is decided by their grandparents. It is useless for the Duke to ask me or the emperor about the wedding date. If my father and mother do not agree, it is useless for anyone to decide."

The emperor nodded on the side: "Yes, yes, Gu Er is right. I wanted to set the wedding date directly at the beginning, but thinking about the temper of the imperial aunt, I decided to let her decide."

Everyone present knew the relationship between the Gu family and the royal family, so the emperor called the imperial aunt directly.

Duke Zhenguo was stunned, then nodded to show that he understood, and then he toasted the emperor and Gu Shouxin again.

Duke Zhenguo was in a better state today. He could easily resolve any stab from Uncle Gu, which made Uncle Gu feel like he had punched cotton.

In the end, Uncle Gu was drunk, Prince Kang and Duke Chengen were drunk, and the third uncle was drunk.

Only the emperor, General Peng, Gu Shouxin, and the Duke of Zhenguo who drank the most were left.

Gu Shouxin suddenly became interested in the Duke of Zhenguo. Just like the emperor, he also wanted to see how much the Duke of Zhenguo could drink.

Anyway, until late at night, the banquet was over. General Peng drank so much that the emperor was dizzy, but the Duke of Zhenguo was still sober.

Each family asked their people to take the drunks home.

Cai Xiaolian and Gu Shouxin were in the same car. Looking at Gu Shouxin who was sitting abnormally, she knew that he was a little drunk and smiled: "People say that only sons-in-law and fathers-in-law can drink to this state. What do you think your two relatives drink like this?"

Gu Shouxin held Cai Xiaolian's hand and said seriously: "The Duke of Zhenguo can drink better than Lu Zheng. I am still better than my son. Burp~"

After saying that, he burped.

Cai Xiaolian was surprised: "Tsk, it's rare for you to praise someone! I didn't expect that the Duke of Zhenguo was praised by you for his drinking capacity in the end."

Gu Shouxin continued seriously: "Not only that, he is also very good at pretending. Lu Zheng, that silly boy, probably still doesn't know the cause of his mother's death and his father's sincerity to him."

Cai Xiaolian: "?"

Gu Shouxin said again: "The Lu family has a secret, a big secret about life and death. I'm thinking about whether to let Xinxin marry him."

Cai Xiaolian: "... No, Gu Shouxin, you drank with people all night, so many people, especially the emperor, were there, you can still get people's secrets?"

Gu Shouxin shook his head: "No secret. But I'm sure their family has a secret."

Cai Xiaolian thought Gu Shouxin was drunk, because he had never been so serious after drinking like today.

So, she didn't take Gu Shouxin's words to heart.

At the same time, Lu Zheng once again took his drunken father home.

The Duke of Zhenguo behaved very normally outside the carriage. After getting on the carriage, he lay down and closed his eyes. Lu Zheng looked helpless.

He had an illusion in his heart that if this man continued to drink with Uncle Gu and others, he would eventually become the kind of people like King Kang and Duke Chengen. It’s not that they are bad, but he couldn’t imagine that the people he hated for so many years would become like that.

Back at the Duke’s Mansion, Lu Zheng pushed the Duke of Zhenguo, but there was no response. If there was no slight snoring, Lu Zheng would have thought he was drunk to death.

In the end, he asked the coachman to help him carry the man on his back and carry him back.

He only carried him to the study. Seeing that the long-serving attendant and the servant were there, he said nothing and went back to his room.
