The chief steward knelt on the ground annoyed and reported: "Madam, Master Jing Yun has already left, and I didn't stop you." He paused, and finally said: "Yes, it went out through the gate."

Mrs. Gu's face was gloomy, she couldn't see what she was thinking, and said after a while: "Got it, let's go down."

The chief steward bowed his waist and retreated, only Tang and Jiang were left in the room, Fang was lying on the couch in the compartment, and Gu Lekang was kneeling on the ground. The servants saw that the situation was not right, so they had already quietly retreated.

There were no outsiders in the room, and Mrs. Gu no longer had any scruples. She quickly walked around the screen and looked down at Gu Lekang who was kneeling on the ground, "Lekang, tell grandma, have you met Gu Jingyun?"

"No." Gu Lekang lowered his head and said lifelessly, "I haven't seen him before."

"You're lying," Mrs. Gu said with anger in her eyes, "If you haven't met him, why did you say that when you first met him? And you're not surprised at all!"

Seeing Gu Lekang bowed her head and knelt on the ground without saying a word, she squatted down and sighed in a relaxed tone: "Son, haven't you understood yet? Your mother vomited blood because of him. He is hostile to our entire Gu family." , you have to tell grandma everything you know so grandma can cope better."

Gu Lekang looked up at her in confusion, "But didn't you get along well with him when I came in just now? He is also your grandson..."

Gu Jingyun once said to him, "This world is full of deceptions. What you see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and feel with your body may be false. You have to look at it with your heart, and then you will find the world we live in." It's a very interesting place, full of calculations and deceit, even your close relatives may not be as good as a stranger."

The grandmother in front of him was a stranger to him. In his eyes, the grandmother had always been a kind and wise elder. When he rushed in and saw the grandmother talking happily with Gu Jingyun, although he was angry, he didn't think it was wrong, because no matter whether Gu Jingyun was an illegitimate child or The eldest son, he is the grandson of the grandmother, and the behavior of the grandmother is right.

But now the grandmother told him that what he saw just now was all fake, her kindness and friendship to Gu Jingyun were all fake!

The respected teacher is fake, the amazing talent is fake, the father who is both talented and virtuous is fake, the dignified and prudent mother is fake, and even the grandmother is fake, so what else is real around him?

Madam Gu was about to analyze the situation with him, when she saw that his eyes showed confusion, his back slumped, and he knelt there as if he was overwhelmed, her heart sank, and she stopped pressing him.

She didn't expect, she didn't expect Gu Jingyun to be so irritating to Gu Lekang.

She got up and glanced at Mrs. Fang who was recuperating on the couch with her eyes closed, her eyes turned cold, and she said indifferently: "Since the third daughter-in-law is not in good health, she can go back to recuperate. It is fine for the eldest daughter-in-law to clean up Wutong Garden."

"Mother," Fang quickly opened her eyes, and half stood up, explaining, "Daughter-in-law is fine..."

"Okay, you'd better take care of your chest pain."

Fang's face turned pale, knowing that Mrs. Gu was angry, and she didn't dare to fight anymore.

Mrs. Gu shook her sleeves and left. When the three brothers Gu Houye and Gu Huaijin were found by the servants, the entire Gu residence fell silent.

But there was no shortage of turbulence underneath.

The third master is not the eldest son of the third master, and he may be the son of an adulterer. There is almost an explosion among the servants.

Don't dare to say it in front of the master, but can whisper secret words behind his back. Although the servants who worked in the Gu family more than ten years ago are popular because they know more, such as the third master's original wife, Qin.

Gu Houye swept his eyes away after entering the door, and said coldly: "Where is Gu Jingyun?"

"Let's go," Mrs. Gu, who was sitting at the top, said wearily: "The third daughter-in-law vomited blood and fainted, and we left when we were in a hurry. We went out through the gate by ourselves. I don't know what will be reported tomorrow. .”

Gu Houye's face was a bit ugly, and Gu Huaijin was almost ashen, he clenched his fists and said: "Listen to the people, he stopped the carriage in the mansion outside the door, and let the people from the Pingguo Mansion and Dingguo Mansion Did someone see it right?"

Mrs. Gu raised her eyelids and glanced at him. She couldn't hide her disappointment with this son anymore. She ignored him and turned to Master Gu and said, "That child was taught by the Qin family very well. , even I can't find anything wrong with it."

Gu Houye said expressionlessly: "Qin Xinfang is Qin Wentian's son, so naturally he is not bad at teaching and educating people, not to mention he was a cabinet boss before."

"That's right," Mrs. Gu sighed, "But Gu Jingyun is only fourteen years old and has such a scheming city, which is really shocking. The better the child behaves, the more uneasy I feel. The Qin and Gu families have grown up. It is absolutely impossible for the enemy to reconcile, but he came back without any resentment, Lord Marquis, whether it is reconciliation or not, you have to make up your mind as soon as possible."

Gu Houye was silent.

The reputation of the Gu family is already bad, but if he really cuts off the blood relationship with Gu Jingyun, he guarantees that the reputation of the Gu family will be reduced to the lowest point. He has five grandsons and three granddaughters, and there may be more in the future.

The granddaughter married, and the grandson became famous when he became an official and married a wife. He could foresee that if he really did that, the children might not be able to find a suitable marriage. Moreover, the boys' official career would also be affected. .

But to make peace, he had never met Gu Jingyun, but just hearing what the old wife said, he knew that the child was full of resentment towards them, and this resentment might be difficult to eliminate.

After all, as a father, they never took care of him, let alone asked him a question, and Qin Xinfang's ability prevented him from treating Gu Jingyun like a child who hated his family.

How can such a child be won over?

Gu Houye hesitated, so he turned his head and asked his old wife, "What do you think?"

Mrs. Gu sighed and said: "Let's make peace first, at least you can't make mistakes in general, and the children will get married in the future. I will fight for it. Even if he is hard-hearted, I will try my best to make him soft-hearted, let alone His little wife is not as shrewd as he is, and it can be used as a breakthrough. We can change it later as appropriate. If he can make a mistake, it is natural for us to find an excuse to cut off. If not, then try our best to suppress him and don’t let him have The way out."

"After all, Qin Xinfang is still in exile, beyond his reach. Even if he has old disciples in the capital, he can only take care of Gu Jingyun in a limited way. What's more, the Qin family's old friends don't like our Gu family. If they see that we are in love with Gu Jingyun, they may not be happy. I am willing to help Jing Yun." Mrs. Gu showed a slight smile on her face, "The situation is not good for us, but it is not good for him. Among other things, we are his elders, and this is his natural disadvantage."

"Then why do you still let him go, you should keep him."

"The people who came out of Dingguo's mansion and Pingguo's mansion today are all in their eyes. I forced him to stay. If he makes trouble, it will be bad for the Gu family. Besides, I didn't make up my mind at the time, so I agreed to let him go." Go out and stay for two days." Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Huaijin, who was standing with her head bowed, and said, "Tomorrow you will pick them up in person, after all, they are your sons, so make yourself look good."

"Mother," Gu Huaijin called out reluctantly. He had only heard that his son picked up Lao Tzu, but he hadn't heard of Lao Tzu picking up his son.

Mrs. Gu's face was full of anger, she slapped the armrest fiercely and said: "There is no need to act like this, it is all because of you that we are so passive now, and it is tolerance for you not to let you kneel down to pay respects to our ancestors." .”

Gu Huaijin was stunned, apparently not expecting his mother to attack him.

Mrs. Gu's rage all day was detonated, and there were only her husband and three sons in the room. She no longer concealed her emotions, pointed at his nose and cursed: "It's useless for you to claim to be extremely smart, but you are an idiot inside. After Qin Wenyin gave birth, I will ask you to bring the child back and keep him by my side. When the time comes, whether it will be life or death, smart or stupid is not a matter of your words, but you are indecisive, and you just don’t want to pick up people with all your excuses. , That’s fine, anyway, what Qin Xinfang committed was treason, unless the crown prince ascends the throne, no one will be able to save him, as long as Qiongzhou is kept in check so that they don’t have a way out.”

"What about you? How did you respond to me back then?" Mrs. Gu was furious, "I entrusted you with all the affairs of Qiongzhou, but you still don't know anything about your son who has graduated from high school! Idiot, how could I Having given birth to a stupid thing like you, and suppressing Gu Jingyun in Qiongzhou, even if he was not crushed by us, he would not be able to get ahead, but now he has returned to the capital! How much power is there in the capital, what are you, a Zhongyonghou mansion? What's more? Most of the Qin family's old friends are in Beijing, why have you forgotten why you haven't made any progress for so many years?"

Gu Huaijin's face was pale, this was the second time he was scolded by his mother pointing his nose like this, the first time was after his mother knew that he had divorced Qin Wenyin.

Old Madam Gu was so angry that her eyes were filled with tears, she grabbed Master Gu's sleeve and cried, "Master Gu, it's my concubine who is sorry for you, but gave birth to such a fool!"

Gu Houye sighed and patted the old wife's hand.

The three brothers of the Gu family blushed and lowered their heads.

Mrs. Gu cried for a while and wiped away her tears, then said forcefully to her three sons: "After you bring Gu Jingyun back, you have to treat him well, do whatever you want, and tell your daughter-in-law and son, whoever dares to bully him, I will be the first No way."

Mrs. Gu sneered, "Don't they want to see our Gu family's jokes? I just want them to see how my Gu family is a kind father, a filial son, and a harmonious family! It's fine if Gu Jingyun cooperates, but if he doesn't, it will be covered by an unfilial hat. Go on, talk too much, who will know who is right and who is wrong in the future?"

The three brothers of the Gu family hurriedly lowered their heads, "Yes."

Madam Gu waved them back, she really didn't want to see them.

Obviously she and Master Gu are not stupid, and they have always paid attention to the education of the three children. How did they become such idiots?

Master Gu took a sip of tea, saw his wife gradually calm down, and said, "I'll take a look at him when I bring him back, don't worry, he's only fourteen years old, and his temper hasn't fully matured yet, maybe he can Break it."

"It's hard," Mrs. Gu said wearily: "That child looks like a determined person. Our Gu family has never taken care of him, and he grew up in Qin's family..."
