Gu Yuan was on duty in the palace last night, and he just came back from the palace this morning. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he learned that Gu Yanfei was punished by Mrs. Tai to kneel in the ancestral hall from his servant Wutong.

Although my younger sister is smart and did not suffer any disadvantages, in the past two months, Mrs. Tai has targeted her again and again, which is simply too deceiving.

Gu Yuan looked at Mrs. Gu with cold eyes and determination like a sword.

The entire front hall was silent, and everyone else looked at the grandparents and grandchildren silently.

Gu Jian frowned, and said condescendingly in the tone of an elder: "Brother Yuan, today is a big day for worshiping ancestors, don't be petty and mess around!"

"Everything the elders do is for your own good!"

He has a earnest and earnest expression.

Gu Yuan slightly raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes were distant, and he said coolly: "Is it because of my nephew that Hou Ye tampered with the bowstring?"

What's the meaning? ! Most of the other Gu family members present didn't know about this, so they couldn't help but look at each other.

"..." Gu Jian's face was slightly blue, and she froze for a while.

He wanted to say that Gu Yuan misunderstood, and wanted to evade the matter vaguely, but he saw Gu Yuan greeted with a half-smile: "Master Hou, is your arm healed?"

While speaking, Gu Yuan's eyes meaningfully turned around Gu Jian's injured arm, which attracted other people's attention.

Someone immediately remembered that Gu Jian's right arm was injured because the rhino horn bow was broken, but judging from the meaning of Gu Yuan's words now, isn't this an "accident"?

Thinking about it, the eyes of everyone looking at Gu Jian became meaningful, and each had their own guesses.

"..." Gu Jian felt that their gazes seemed to have thorns, and their complexions sank again, and there was a dull pain from the right shoulder to the right arm.

Of course not!

Now his injured arm is fixed in a plaster cast, and his right forearm is hung in front of his chest with a bandage. He looks like he has the words "I am an injured patient" written on his body. Anyone can see his injuries not good.

This kid Gu Yuan is asking questions knowingly!

The more Gu Jian thought about it, the more unhappy she became, and she couldn't help but think about it more and more, chewing on Gu Yuan's words over and over again, feeling that there was a needle hidden in the cotton, and Gu Yuan was clearly mocking herself that she deserved it.

How could Gu Yuan in the past dare to be so rude to his uncle, this kid just because he is now in Luan Yiwei, and he is proud of the spring breeze, he is so proud!

Gu Jian secretly gritted her teeth, put on the posture of Marquis Dingyuan, and raised her voice to reprimand: "Brother Yuan, you are so unruly and disobedient to your elders, believe it or not, this Marquis will join you..."

While talking, Gu Jian was more or less angry. Being ridiculed by his nephew in front of his two concubine brothers and a group of juniors really made him feel ashamed.

But before he finished speaking, Mrs. Gu interrupted him coldly:

"enough."

Mrs. Gu's voice was neither soft nor heavy, but it was resonant. At the same time, she gave Gu Jian a wink to signal him to stop talking nonsense.

Gu Jian had no choice but to shut her mouth embarrassingly, not convinced.

Gu Yuan didn't care about the eyebrow-eye lawsuit between the mother and son at all, and casually brushed off the non-existent dust on his shoulders, with a mocking arc drawn at the corner of his lips, and sighed faintly:

"Mrs. Tai, Master Hou, you are really very grand. One wants to send her granddaughter to the nunnery, and the other wants to enroll her nephew..."

"Sister, are you not scared?" Gu Yuan turned his head to look at Gu Yanfei seriously, and took out a brand new handkerchief for her, "Don't be afraid, there is a brother."

Gu Yanfei took the handkerchief that Gu Yuan handed over very cooperatively, wiped the corners of his eyes pretendingly, and nodded with sparkling eyes: "With my brother here, I'm not afraid."

Her voice is clear and crisp, and she looks as cute as possible.

Gu Yuan was very pleased with this, and rubbed the top of her soft hair.

Mrs. Gu's mouth twitched, and she glanced back and forth between Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen.

She was so far away that she could smell the alcohol on these two girls, so she must have drunk a lot that night. Gu Yanfei was so lawless that he had the nerve to say "scared"!

This pair of brothers and sisters are clearly playing tricks!

Gu Yanfei didn't bother to cover up the smell of alcohol at all, and continued to wipe the unnecessary tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, as if she was just wearing a sachet with a special smell.

The front hall fell into a dead silence, and the dark tide was raging.

Looking at the brothers and sisters Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei in front of them, Mrs. Gu's eyes became darker little by little, and she tightly held the string of Buddhist beads in one hand.

Before the emperor sealed the pen, the Ministry of War sent a transfer order to the Hou Mansion, saying that Gu Jian had a hand injury and it was difficult for him to take up his original post, so he was transferred from the deputy governor of the Zuoye Army to the left-behind division.

Although the rank has not changed, the Zuoye Army is one of the Five Army Battalions, while the Left Behind Division only protects the imperial mausoleum and has no real power at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "cold bench".

Mrs. Gu has been upset for several days because of this transfer order.

If this continues, the Hou's Mansion is afraid that it will continue to go downhill and become a declining Hou's Mansion with only a title but no real power.

Now, only Gu Yuan's errand in Luan Yiwei can be regarded as worthy of the table, supporting the last layer of face for the Hou Mansion.

At this time, the family must not be separated, and the situation must not get out of hand.

The silence lasted for too long, so long that the others held their breath subconsciously, faintly feeling a kind of depression before the storm.

The long house has been suppressed for eight full years, and now with the rise of Gu Yuan, the layout of the Marquis Mansion seems to be changing.

In the end, Mrs. Gu took the lead to break the silence: "Brother Yuan, what do you want?"

She asked word by word, with a calm voice and clear words, which made people feel more stressed.

"Separation." Gu Yuan said coldly.

"Impossible." Mrs. Gu objected without saying a word, and her firm tone could not be questioned.

This is her bottom line!

Gu Yuan looked directly at Mrs. Gu without avoiding it, his pupils were as quiet and cold as a frozen lake.

His reticent attitude made Mrs. Gu feel a little uncertain: Gu Yuan has always been a stubborn child, stubborn.

Therefore, Mrs. Gu lowered her posture and persuaded in a good voice: "Brother Yuan, your parents are gone, but my grandmother is still here."

"With parents, there is no separation of families. This is the same principle throughout the ages. This is not the case for any household in the capital."

"You and your second younger sister, one has not reached the crown, the other has not reached the level, and they are still underage, how can they stand on their own!"

Gu Yuan's eyes were cold, but his eyes remained motionless, thinking of his father's teachings when he was alive.

At that time, Dad asked him: "Brother Yuan, if you want to find someone who doesn't like you and ask for a sword, what will you do?"

He shook his fist and said, "Hit him."

Daddy laughed sullenly and said, "Then what if you can't beat him?"

When he was frowning and thinking hard, his father taught him with a smile: "You just open your mouth and ask for all the weapons of the opponent, and then bargain step by step. Do you understand?"

At that time, Gu Yuan was only four or five years old, and he still didn't understand.

But now Gu Yuan already understood.

Gu Yuan raised his chin slightly, outlining a stern arc, as if he was pondering, this time he said slowly: "It's fine to not separate families."

"Then, Mrs. Tai and Master Hou will not bother about the matter of the long house."

"My sister's marriage will be decided by me, the elder brother, so that Mrs. Tai will not randomly order my sister out to some messy person for 'happy happiness'."

Gu Yanfei was slightly taken aback.

She didn't expect that the eldest brother made such a fuss today just because of her.

Marriage matters pay attention to the orders of parents, and the eldest son loses his father and mother. It stands to reason that Mrs. Tai is indeed qualified to decide her marriage.

Although as far as Gu Yanfei is concerned, if she is unwilling, no one in this world can force her.

However, the elder brother's consideration of her in every detail still made her heart warm and sweet, as if drinking sweet syrup.

Mrs. Gu slowly looked away, suppressing the displeasure in her heart.

The hall became quiet again, and a needle could be heard.

After deliberating over and over again, Mrs. Gu forced out a word between her teeth: "Okay."

"I promise you."

She finally nodded with difficulty, feeling uncomfortable, as if something had left her palm.

She doesn't like it.

Gu Jian's eyes widened, and she instinctively wanted to object, but she was afraid Mrs. Gu would close her mouth after all, her face sinking like water.

Gu Yuan snapped his fingers resoundingly: "There is no evidence for what you say, so please ask Mrs. Tai to write a letter, and then sign it."

The word "nonsense" had reached Mrs. Gu's lips, but she still bit the tip of her tongue and swallowed it.

Gu Yuan didn't care about Mrs. Gu's reaction at all, he called his servant Wutong to bring tissue paper, pen and ink, and put them on a big red sandalwood case.

"Mrs. Tai, please." Gu Yuan stretched out his hand to Mrs. Gu as a petition, asking her to write a contract.

Mrs. Gu doesn't like the feeling of being forced, she can't wait to leave, but the words have already reached this point, and she has already retreated to this point, and she can't fall short at this time.

She is like the arrow on the string now, she has to shoot.

The phoenix trees on the side quickly polished the ink, and a faint fragrance of ink mixed into the surrounding sandalwood and candle incense.

Mrs. Gu swallowed her saliva, walked slowly to the front of the desk, slowly picked up the Langhao pen, and wrote with a swipe.

Looking at her stiff back, the others were already dumbfounded.

No one expected that things would develop in this direction.

After a while, Mrs. Gu wrote a contract, then signed at the signing place, and pressed the cinnabar painting with her thumb.

Gu Yuan leaned over and looked at the contents of the contract, quite satisfied.

He dried the ink on the tissue paper himself, handed the book to Gu Yanfei as a treasure, and said: "Sister, put it away carefully."

Gu Yanfei nodded obediently, carefully folded the tissue paper, and smiled.

This is the big brother's wish for her, and she will keep it well... When she goes back, she will frame her!

Gu Yuan's smiling eyes shifted from Gu Yanfei to Gu Yunzhen, and said again: "There is also the marriage of the real sister..."

A kind of strong dissatisfaction accumulated layer upon layer in Mrs. Gu's heart, until at this moment, the raging anger finally broke out uncontrollably.

"Gu Yuan, don't push yourself too hard!"

Mrs. Gu interrupted Gu Yuan's words in a rage, her gaze was like a torch.

She had already promised the Murong family that Gu Yunzhen would be let in today, and there was absolutely no possibility of changing this matter.

Gu Yun really didn't want Gu Yuan to offend Mrs. Gu for himself, so he quickly tugged on his sleeve and shook his head silently.

"Brother," Gu Yanfei said with a smile, "Big sister's marriage will be decided by grandfather."

"soon."

She said this with a lot of meaning.
