Lady Gu vented a significant amount of anger in the ancestral hall, so that everyone in the Marquis Residence knew that Gu Changqing had confined his two younger brothers in the ancestral hall.
However, the Marquis Gu had no idea about it. Recently, he had been tangled up with minor affairs in the Ministry of Works and hadn't returned to the Marquis Residence in several days.
"Lord Gu, the Ministry of War is urging again." one of the officials under the Marquis Gu said.
The Marquis Gu sat in his chair, looking at the piles of official documents on the desk, feeling overwhelmed: "Urging, always urging! Aren't we already casting? It's only been a few days?"
The official, suffering through no fault of his own, being rebuked from both sides, and feeling deeply aggrieved, said: "The Ministry of War says our pace is too slow, they can't wait two months."
