"It's you, isn't it?" Wang said in a hoarse voice, describing righteous indignation, almost insane, "You killed Jing Zhaoyin in a moment of impatience, angered Long Yan, but caused a catastrophe for my Hou Mansion!"

"How could the Hou Mansion produce a prodigal son like you, and lose the title left by the ancestors!"

"Gu Yuan, you are going to separate from the Hou Mansion, and even implicate the Hou Mansion, you are just like your father..."

The more Wang talked, the angrier she became, and the more she hated, she really wished she could rush up and scratch Gu Yuan like a street shrew.

Gu Yuan just drank two sips of tea to moisten his throat, when he heard this, he raised his head from the tea cup and sneered at Wang Shi.

No need for Gu Yuan to say anything, the patriarch first pointed at Wang's, and cursed back: "Wang, are you enough!"

"What's the matter with Brother Guan Yuan!"

"You shrew, don't ask the reason, but you have poured dirty water on your nephew."

"Why don't you ask your mother-in-law and Gu Jian what's going on!!"

"Their mother and son caused a catastrophe for the Gu family, but now they are hiding and dare not come to see anyone!"

The patriarch has always been good-tempered, and he rarely used such fierce words, and seldom fired such a big anger, which stunned the elders beside him.

The patriarch was still not relieved after scolding, and called a woman in the hall over, telling her to call Gu Jian over quickly.

The woman obediently promised, and hurried out with her skirt in hand.

In the main hall, the atmosphere was a little stiff for a while, and the maids and women were all silent.

The clan elders were a little confused, and vaguely understood that it was Gu Jian and Mrs. Gu who buried the title of Houfu.

The elders of the clan looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces full of surprise, and their hearts were even more uncertain.

"..." Mrs. Wang was left speechless by the scolding, her face turned green and pale, and felt a little ashamed. She really wanted to order someone to drive the patriarch out, but she didn't believe what the patriarch said: how could the Gu family be expelled because of the marquis? Grandpa!

The clan elders beside him have already pulled Gu Yuan to ask about the past.

The patriarch looked annoyed at Wang, and reprimanded as an elder: "The clan is separated, what are you doing here as a woman! Hurry up and get out!"

Wang's complexion became even uglier, her chest heaved violently, and she raised her neck and said, "Why? I'm a majestic Mrs. Hou..."

She is the mistress of the Hou Mansion, so what right does the patriarch have to drive her out!

"Even the Hou Mansion is gone." The patriarch interrupted her coldly.

The patriarch stared at Wang's face without blinking, and warned in a slow tone: "Today is my decision, and you can rest if you want."

His face was very solemn, and his words were clear.

Wang: "..."

Wang's pupils shrank sharply, this time he was really frightened.

The Gu family no longer has a title, and Gu Jian is no longer the Marquis of Dingyuan, which means that he has lost his previous detached status in the clan. Now he is the patriarch as the patriarch of the Gu clan, and he is the person with the highest status in the clan. Can be the master of their houses.

Mrs. Wang tightly gripped the handkerchief in her hand and crumpled it until it was crumpled.

She winked at Gu Xiao, let her son stay here, and went out by herself.

And Gu Xiao didn't receive Wang Shi's eyes at all.

He is still immersed in the shock of the Marquis Mansion being confiscated, and he does not want to believe this cruel fact: the family is about to be separated, and his father will soon be able to invite him to be a prince, so why is the Marquis Mansion being confiscated? !

Mrs. Wang walked down the stone steps slowly, turned her head and glanced into the hall, the more she thought about it, the more she panicked, her heart was still up and down.

She beckoned to the big maid next to her, and ordered in a low voice: "Go and tell the third girl..."

Just as the big maid left, Gu Jian walked towards this side with a dark face on her back, exuding a sinister aura all over her body, and not far behind was the woman who had just been summoned by the patriarch to call for someone.

"Lord Hou..."

Mrs. Wang rushed up to meet her, wanting to ask what was going on, but Gu Jian looked at her and didn't stop, so she just walked past her and entered the main hall without looking back.

Wang Shi was reprimanded by the patriarch just now, and she was already angry, but now she was ignored by Gu Jian, so angry that she lost all reason, and couldn't care about her manners, so she couldn't help but stomped her feet.

Gu Jian lifted her robe and stepped over the threshold, just in time to hear the patriarch say disdainfully: "...the censor impeached Gu Jian on the spot for seizing the family property, forbidding his nephew, and even speaking nonsense in front of the imperial court, intending to put his nephew to death..."

Gu Jian's face turned darker, and she clenched her fists tightly.

He was so big standing at the gate, the patriarch and elders naturally saw him, the patriarch only asked him coldly: "Did I say something wrong?"

Gu Jian didn't say a word, her face was tense, her thin lips were drawn into iron lines, and she sat down on the seat that belonged to him with a straight face.

At this moment, silence means acknowledgment.

Everyone seemed to be soaked in a cold pool, their hands, feet and hearts were all cold, and they were anxious and panicked, but they couldn't help feeling a little lucky.

God knows, the emperor almost made their three generations of the Gu family fail the imperial examination. In comparison, it is only a matter of winning the title now, which is already a lenient punishment.

This is nothing more than having fun.

The elders of the clan are full of emotions such as wanting to cry but not crying, grief, panic, irritability, confusion, anxiety and so on.

Originally, their family had a title, so they were not on the same level as those rich and gentry families in the capital.

It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. As honored nobles, they are not only exempt from tax and corvee, but also have various preferential treatment in the future. It is very convenient for them to enter the military camp or enter several major academies in Beijing.

To be more realistic, even if the clansman got into trouble with officials, the Jingzhao Mansion would also think of the Hou's Mansion and be a little more polite to the Gu Clan members.

But now it's all gone.

Their Gu family has become an ordinary family.

This was all caused by the mother and son Gu Jian and Mrs. Gu!

The achievements of Gu Yao, Gu Xuan and his son who sacrificed their heads and blood on the battlefield were squandered by this mother and son!

Just now, Mrs. Wang also said that Gu Yuan is a prodigal son, and the prodigal son is clearly Gu Jian!

Even Gu Xiao looked at Gu Jian with a complaining look, and squeezed the armrest of the chair tightly with one hand, almost crushing it.

Gu Jian felt as if she was being executed publicly, her face was extremely stiff.

He still didn't answer the patriarch's question, but said unhappily: "Separate the family, divide it quickly."

He stiffened his neck, raised his jaw, and his voice was like ice.

His bossy and arrogant attitude made the elders in the hall even more displeased. They felt that it was embarrassing for Gu Jian to do such a harm to the Gu family and yet not know how to reflect on it.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more tense, as cold as winter.

The patriarch looked around at the crowd, and finally met Gu Jian's gloomy eyes, and said decisively: "Then share."

must be divided.

If there is no separation, Gu Yuan will be dragged down.

"How to divide?" Gu Yanfei, who was drinking tea on his own, suddenly interjected and asked, his voice was clear and pleasant, like knocking on ice and jade.

Gu Jian was annoyed when she heard Gu Yanfei's voice, and frowned, thinking: Isn't it already agreed on how to divide it!

He turned his head to look at Gu Yanfei, and reprimanded angrily: "You have no place to speak here!"

Gu Yanfei smiled instead of anger, instead of looking at Gu Jian, he looked sideways at Gu Yuan on the other side, showing a shallow smile, as bright as spring, as bright as sunshine, and said obediently: "Brother, you will return later!" Going to work, don't delay your errand."

He didn't mention that Chu Yi gave him a day off, and he said nonchalantly, following his sister's words: "I still have an errand, sit down for a while, and I should go."

"..." Hearing the words, the patriarch couldn't help but look at Gu Yuan.

The heroic young man in the front and the frustrated middle-aged man on the other side can be said to be a sky and a ground; one is the rising sun, and the other is the dark dusk.

The patriarch stared deeply at Gu Yuan, his thoughts floated.

Judging from what the emperor and the eldest prince said just now, Gu Yuan made great contributions in saving Cheng Tianmen that day, and has a bright future in the future, so he will definitely be reused by the eldest prince.

If the Gu family wants to regain this title, they still have to rely on Gu Yuan.

Knighthood.

Thinking of the title, the patriarch's heart warmed up, as if his whole body had been infused with vitality, and his spirit was revived.

After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision in his heart, and his eyes became firm and calm.

A family in decline is like suffering from a serious illness, which requires heavy doses. If the family wants to rise again, it must cut through the mess quickly.

The patriarch put down his bearded hand, and said solemnly: "When Uncle Yaotang was alive, he established the family rules. If Chengjue's descendants are unfilial and lose their title, they will no longer be patriarchs."

"The second house lost its title today, and the family business of your branch should be inherited by the long house in the future."

"Except for the widowed third house, the other houses are all sold out."

The patriarch already had a charter in his heart, and he spoke resolutely, as if cutting through the mess with a sharp knife, and ordered his mother-in-law to call Gu Fourth Master and Gu Fifth Master.

The patriarch's words struck Gu Jian fiercely like a bolt of lightning, and pierced straight into his heart like a dagger.

A fire in his heart suddenly rushed straight to his forehead, and he asked the patriarch angrily, "Why?!"

Gu Jian was going crazy.

If the eldest family inherits the family business, doesn't that mean that their family will be expelled from here, and gradually reduced from direct line to side branch? !

No, absolutely not!
