The others weren't as quick on the uptake and stared at the two of them, completely bewildered.
'They were just discussing Gu Dashishi and the widow, so how did the conversation suddenly jump to returning to their ancestral village?'
Gu Wenheng and Gu Yuanshui shared a knowing smile, then stood up and headed for the door. The others, though unsure of their intentions, hurried after them.
Gu Yuanjin caught up to Gu Yuanshui. "What's this game you and Seventh are playing? We can't make heads or tails of it."
Gu Yuanshui said, "Weren't we just saying that Father is too idle? Well, it just so happens there's a major family affair that needs him to personally handle it. And it's a grand, impressive task—perfectly suited for him."
Gu Wenheng added, "Truly, he's the only one for the job."
Gu Yuanhuo instantly caught on. 'They want to send him away! A round trip, even with a carriage, plus the time to relocate the ancestral graves... nearly a year would pass.'
