Gu Xiao held the bow tightly, and waited for a while with his ears pricked up, only to hear the "swish" sound of shooting arrows in the martial arts arena from time to time, and there was no more sound.

Thinking back to what Gu Yanfei said just now, Gu Xiao's heart was full of breath, and he quietly bowed and left, walking faster and faster.

He first rushed to the outer study to look for Gu Jian, but ran away, and learned that Gu Jian had gone to the main courtyard, so he hurried to the main courtyard again.

"Second young master!"

Amidst the exclamation of the servants, Gu Xiao rushed into the Dongci room recklessly like a gust of wind, and both Gu Jian and Wang Shi heard the sound and looked at him.

Gu Jian frowned slightly, feeling that the eldest son was already such an adult, and he was still reckless.

Gu Xiao's face was ashen, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.

He didn't even salute his parents, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he talked about the fact that he just met Gu Yanfei in the martial arts arena, and repeated what Gu Yanfei said just now:

"...She said that both the Hou Mansion and the title belong to the elder brother."

"Also said that the elder brother was responsible for killing Feng He, and the eldest prince promised that the eldest brother will get his wish."

Veins popped up on Gu Xiao's forehead, and he was panting slightly.

The faces of Gu Jian and Wang's couple became more and more ugly.

When hearing the last sentence, Gu Jian frowned tightly, thoughtfully.

Seeing his father not speaking for a long time, Gu Xiao felt grievance, anger and sadness intertwined in his heart, and asked forcefully: "Father, you have not established me as your son until now, do you intend to pass on the title to eldest brother? "

"Could it be that you picked me up?"

"In other mansions, the eldest son has long been established as the eldest son, but I am not."

"Father, mother, do you know that I haven't been able to hold my head up outside for the past two years, and everyone is pointing at me behind my back..."

Gu Xiao was so excited that he almost broke his voice, his eyes were red, and he vented all the grievances in his heart these years and the unwillingness to suffer from Gu Yanfei just now, with a bit of anger and anger.

Gu Jian's heart surged with anger, she slapped the coffee table heavily, and reprimanded unhappily: "Nie Zi, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Can these words be said casually?!"

Gu Jian's eyebrows twitched, her beard and hair spurted out of anger, and her face turned blue and black.

"..." Gu Xiao's lips pursed into a stubborn arc, and she turned her face away.

The atmosphere between father and son suddenly froze.

Wang noticed that his son was in a state of embarrassment, and patted the dust on his son's robe with distress, and then straightened his hair, "Brother Xiao, why did you do this? Are you hurt?"

The scene of being beaten helplessly by Gu Yanfei in the martial arts arena just now reappeared in front of Gu Xiao's eyes. The precarious self-esteem of the young man made him really speechless.

He said stiffly, "I'm fine."

Knowing her son's stubborn temper, Mrs. Wang took his hand and persuaded softly: "Brother Xiao, didn't you hurt me and your father by saying such angry words just now?"

"Do you think that your father and I don't want to make you our son as soon as possible? Your father is more anxious about this matter than you are!"

Mrs. Wang sighed faintly, with tears welling up in her eyes.

She signaled Gu Xiao to apologize to his father with her eyes, but Gu Xiao was at the most stubborn age of thirteen or fourteen, so she kept her mouth shut.

Wang Shi tugged on Gu Xiao's sleeve again.

Gu Xiao stepped forward with a stiff expression, bowed to Gu Jian unwillingly and admitted his mistake: "It's my son who was impulsive."

Gu Jian wasn't really annoyed at first, her face softened a little, she picked up the teacup and took two sips of tea.

Wang shi sat down on the Arhat bed together with Gu Xiao, who had fierce eyebrows and eyes, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

She regained her composure, and said with a bit of worry and unease: "Master Hou, that girl Gu Yanfei said that brother Yuan had merit in killing Feng He, and the eldest prince promised to make him get his wish."

"I got my wish... Tell me, did Brother Yuan really want to grab the title?"

"If the First Prince makes up his mind to help Brother Yuan grab this title, then what should we do?"

It was as if countless ants were crawling in Wang's heart, her eyes started to turn red again, and she could not sit still in panic.

It has been eight years since Gu Jian became a prince, but he has never been able to establish a son.

It wasn't that he didn't want to stand up, but that all the papers submitted were rejected.

This is also a heart disease of the Wang family.

As long as her son is not established as the eldest son, Wang will feel that the title of Marquis Dingyuan is nothing and has not been realized. It is like a dream, and he does not know when it will wake up.

Gu Xiao also looked at Gu Jian with burning eyes and anxiety.

"..." Gu Jian put down the tea cup in her hand distractedly, and made a "pop" sound.

He had just given the emperor a request to establish a son just before the Chinese New Year, but this time it was still nothing, what could he do!

Originally, Gu Jian wasn't too worried. After all, Gu Ce's treason had preceded him. It was impossible for the emperor to give Gu Yuan the title.

But now, Gu Jian was not sure, her eyes showed a bit of hesitation, and her heart sank slightly.

It would be hard to say if the First Prince intervened.

Even though she had no idea, Gu Jian still said, "No way."

"Why not!" Wang couldn't help turning up the volume.

The breath that I held back in Cihetang broke out again at this time, "Sister Xie is going to marry Kang Wang, and our second wife and Kang Wang will have an unclear relationship in the future."

"Kang Kang and the First Prince are facing each other now, who do you think the First Prince will help?"

For the First Prince, supporting Gu Yuan to the throne is tantamount to suppressing King Kang's party.

This is obvious.

Even without Feng He's death now, the eldest prince would definitely stand by Gu Yuan's side, just like King Kang would stand by Erfang's side because of Gu Yunxie.

Wang Shi panicked in her heart, clenched the handkerchief with white fingers, and said in a low voice: "Besides, it's not sure who will be in the end..."

Having said that, Mrs. Wang closed her mouth, raised her finger to the sky with gloomy eyes.

It means that between King Kang and the eldest prince, only one person can ascend to the supreme position.

If the eldest prince really ascended to the throne, then the second bedroom's title would definitely be lost.

Gu Jian naturally understood Wang's unfinished words, her face was gloomy and difficult to understand.

Gu Xiao who was next to him was silent for a while, then interjected sullenly: "Father, you didn't see just now that Gu Yanfei shot an arrow at his son's face in the martial arts arena just now. Fortunately, his son dodged quickly..."

As he spoke, he pointed to his right cheek.

Wang's complexion changed drastically when she heard the words, and she leaned over to look nervously, "Brother Xiao, your face..."

Only now did Wang realize that a small patch of skin on her son's cheek was reddened, her eyes widened in distress, and her body trembled like chaff in anger.

Her precious son, whom she held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, had never been beaten or scolded, but a little bitch almost disfigured him.

Gu Jian hurriedly got up, with her hands behind her back, she paced back and forth in the room boredly, her mind was in turmoil.

Wang chattered again: "Master Hou, this girl Gu Yanfei is too cruel, except for brother Yuan, she has no affection for the Hou family at all. She clearly knows that sister Xie is going to marry King Kang, so she insists on going To get close to the First Prince, you must force the Hou Mansion into a dilemma."

"Now, she's going too far!"

"This time she clearly wants to ruin Brother Xiao's face, making him flawed and unable to be a prince."

"..." Gu Jian suddenly stopped and stood in the shadow of Duobao Pavilion, her face hidden in the shadow was slightly gloomy.

Unlike Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Gu had already quietly told him about the "substitute".

Only then did Gu Jian know that Gu Ce was not his brother with the same father and mother.

Obviously, Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei also knew about it.

The Wang family in the back was still rambling on and on, but it had not reached Gu Jian's ears.

Gu Jian secretly clenched her fists with a gloomy expression.

Over the years, he has been very kind to the head of the house, and sent Gu Yuan to study. If Gu Yuan wanted to abandon literature and pursue martial arts, he let him do so. Before Gu Yunxie's life experience was exposed, he also treated the eldest niece as if he was his own.

However, Gu Yuan is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. For so many years, he has been coveting the title, completely ignoring the heinous crime committed by his father Gu Ce.

It is true that like father, like son!

If you don't completely cut off Gu Yuan's thoughts, if you don't completely trample Gu Yuan into the mud, you will only breed tigers.

When it is broken, it will be harmed instead.

Gu Jian's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and finally made up her mind, she resolutely walked out of the house, and Wang's sharp voice came from behind: "Master Hou! Master Hou, where are you going?"

Gu Jian went out as if he hadn't heard of it. After he left the main courtyard, he went all the way west.

Mrs. Wang is the head mother of the Hou Mansion, so the affairs of the Hou Mansion can't be hidden from her eyes and ears. After a while, she got the news that Gu Jian went to the Cihe Hall.

Mrs. Wang had some expectations in her heart, so she left Gu Xiao to have lunch in the main courtyard. After the lunch was over, Mrs. Wang got impatient. Gu Jian finally came back, and only said a word in a deep voice:

"Mother has entered the palace."

Mrs. Gu did indeed enter the palace, she knelt outside the Meridian Gate with a lot of make-up on, and presented a plea to plead guilty on behalf of her grandson Gu Yuan.

According to the zhezi, the grandson Gu Yuan has always been stubborn and irritable. .

This scripture was handed directly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Chu Yi ordered Gu Yuan to be announced immediately, and threw the booklet to him to read, and only said a word: "You take a day off today, go home, and come back to be on duty tomorrow."

After Gu Yuan read the excerpt at a glance, he thanked En and left.

He knew Mrs. Gu was kneeling at the Meridian Gate, and he walked to the Meridian Gate on purpose, and saw the graceful Mrs. Gu kneeling on the ground from a distance.

Mrs. Gu was wearing gorgeous and heavy make-up, and the heavy five-zhai crown seemed to crush a person's neck, but her back was still straight.

Mrs. Gu also saw Gu Yuan walking towards her in front of her, and the grandfather and grandson looked at each other from afar.
