My Entire Family's Gone Haywire Novel! - Chapter 963

963 What if it’s gone one day?

The Grand Empress Dowager lay on her bed, unable to fall asleep.

From the bottom of her heart, she had never thought of letting the Gu family leave the capital.

However, she felt that the Emperor was right. Gu shouxin had been away for a few years. After he had made some achievements, it would be easier to promote him when he returned.

!!
She had a way to get the Emperor to reward the Gu family with a title of nobility, but if the Gu family was not involved, would they be able to keep the title?

She was already 70 years old. She did not know how many more years she could live. At most, she could protect the Gu family for more than ten years.

What about ten years later?

She had personally raised the Emperor, and she believed that the Emperor would be able to protect the Gu family before she died.

But what about the next emperor? Who could guarantee that?

……

At the Gu residence.

After dinner, Gu shouxin asked uncle Gu to go with the two elders.

When they arrived at the courtyard of the two elders, the three of them looked at Gu shouxin.

Gu shouxin then told them what the Emperor had said today.

Uncle Gu was the first to be unwilling,”ah? How could it be like this? Didn’t we say that our whole family would be together? If you’re going to kun city with sister-in-law, I’d rather take my parents back to the village. There’s really no way to play in the capital!”

“Going to kun city has its pros and cons.” Grandpa Gu pursed his lips. The good thing is that once you manage kun city well and return to the capital, you will definitely be promoted. “The bad thing is that kun city is in chaos. Second, it’s your first time being an official. You might not be able to achieve the governing effect you want. It’s just as your big brother said, if you bring your second wife over, our family might as well return to the village.”

“Let’s go together then!” Grandma Gu said. Since we know that kun city is not easy to manage, we can go there as a family. At least we can share some of the trivial things in second brother’s life.”

Gu shouxin raised his eyebrows. He and his mother had the same thought. They were going as a family. He was really worried about leaving the others in the capital.

“Father, mother, big brother, this trip will take at least three years. Kun city is a border city with three sides of the enemy. From time to time, we will have small fights with the enemy.”

Grandma Gu looked at Gu shouxin and said,”second brother, just tell me if you’re going or not.” If you go, we’ll go. If you’re not going, then we’re not going. Now that the family has acknowledged the old lady, the old lady has always wanted to protect us, but our family’s status is a bit awkward. Even if the Emperor is devoted to our family, what about the emperor’s sons? It’s not good for our family to be separated, we have to stick together. While those princes don’t know our identity, we’ll go to kun city and make a name for ourselves. In the future, even if the old lady and the Emperor are no longer around, we still have the strength to protect ourselves!”

Gu shouxin looked at grandma Gu in surprise.

His cheap mother rarely said such a long sentence. She had always said it according to her own preferences. He had never thought that the old lady had such far-reaching thoughts that happened to coincide with his.

To put it nicely, they were relatives of the royal family, the legitimate direct line of the royal family, but the throne was not in their line.

The Grand Empress Dowager could protect them, but what if the Grand Emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager died?

He was not afraid of anything, but he had a family to protect.

The Emperor was right. It was indeed very difficult for him to increase his rank in the capital. Even if the Empress Dowager and the Emperor forcefully awarded his family, it would not be enough. On the contrary, it would attract the attention of the Prince and find out the details of their family. Then their family would face more danger.

While the Empress Dowager was still around, her words held weight and she could gain more benefits from this. He could go to kun city and strengthen his wings. When he returned to the capital in the future, he would not have to think so much.
