"Mother, this is the first time I, your son-in-law, have ever seen you so incredibly fierce." Lu Yuan wasn't scared; after all, seeing a giant snake tail was nothing new to him.
Su Liyan's mother said, "Not at all, not at all. It's been many years since I've had to use my martial skills. I'm quite rusty."
Watching Lu Yuan's family talking and laughing, Gu Gaoxu was quite bewildered.
Lu Yuan had just arrived in the Imperial Capital and had yet to make a public appearance, so how had the Jinyi Guard already targeted him?
'The Emperor's Jinyi Guard certainly are resourceful.'
'Wait a minute... could that old coot the Emperor be after me?' Gu Gaoxu's thoughts shifted. 'That has to be it. They're here to investigate me.'
Gu Gaoxu didn't say much more, just patted Lu Yuan's shoulder and slipped away.
'Best to just stay in my room at a time like this.'
Lu Yuan watched Gu Gaoxu slip away and said nothing. He had already figured it out.
