214 The old Qu family
It seems that he doesn't know anything. The old Qu did it without him. I believe that he will show him how sad he is. Then he will have no choice but to do what he will do next.
"I believe my father has already known about the morning court today. The wife of the prince of Chengning Bo Mansion, Xiao, threatened the Zhang family to destroy Yan'er's reputation and complained to me. Now the Zhang family has decided to apologize to Yan'er and leave the capital. Xiao, Chengning Bo Mansion, also asked the queen to denounce it, but the matter is not over, so I came to find my father."
After Gu An finished speaking, he looked at the old Qu family with a meaningful meaning. Gu Shuyu immediately understood that his wife was restless again, and this time the matter was led by her.
Gu Shuyu followed Gu An's gaze and gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you do this?"
Old Qu shook his body and said with his neck stammering, "No, I did nothing, I haven't returned to my uncle's mansion for a long time, how could I know?"
Gu Shuyu didn't believe it, and his eyes kept staring at the old Qu, "You haven't returned to the uncle's mansion, but the little Qu went back a few days ago, right? What did she do when she went back? What did you ask her to do?"
Old Qu shouted injustice, "I said there was no, there was no, why don't you believe me? If something happened to Gu An's family, they would come to me, and I wouldn't let you trust you? I have lived with you for half a lifetime, and I don't even have this little trust?"
As he spoke, Old Qu's eyes turned red, and he firmly denied that she did this, which made Gu Shuyu start to be wronged by herself.
Gu Shuyu frowned and asked again, "You really didn't ask the little Qu family to return to Bo's mansion to arrange this? This matter really has nothing to do with you?"
Old Qu twisted his neck and turned to the side, "I said there was no, so don't blame me."
Gu Shuyu frowned even more, and looked at Gu An and asked, "You suspect that this matter is related to your mother. What evidence do you have? Gu An, if you have evidence, your father will preside over justice for you. If not, do you know what your behavior means today?"
Gu An nodded, "Since I said that, there must be evidence. I also know what it means to suspect my mother, but I won't just let go of this matter. My father should invite my fourth brother and sister out."
Listening to Gu An's sure words, Gu Shuyu didn't say anything for a long time, then looked at the nervous-looking old Qu, and closed his eyes.
What else can I ask? You can tell from the old wife's expression that this is done by the old wife. You don't have to ask the young daughter-in-law to come and know what's going on.
Gu Shuyu took a deep breath, "No need, don't bother them anymore. They also acted obediently. They are not stupid as a father. Some things can be understood clearly. They are just the second child. There is nothing to do about this for a father, and your mother cannot punish him."
Gu An didn't say anything when he heard this unsurprising answer, but closed his eyes. After a long time, it was already cold when he opened it again.
Gu An looked at Gu Shuyu with a sneer.
"I understand what my father means. My son dare not go against his father's intentions, but don't blame his son for being cruel. My son can't control the next thing."
Gu Shuyu was slightly shocked and said anxiously: "What do you want to do? Don't do it nonsense. Think about your wife and son and daughter. What should they do if something happens to you? You finally climbed to this position, don't do stupid things, don't ruin your life for a moment."
Gu An smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Father, I won't let anyone catch a handle. I will do it neatly and you can't find any flaws."
Before Gu Shuyu could persuade him, Old Qu qui quit.
"Gu An, what do you want to do? What do you mean? Do you want me to die? Don't forget that I am your mother, I am your legitimate mother. If you dare to touch my fingers, you will be unfilial. Killing your mother is a serious crime. You will never think of standing in the court again. You will be despised by the subjects of the Great Wei Dynasty. Your merits and future will be gone, and it will also affect Tang, Han Ge'er, Jiu Yatou, you have to think clearly."
Gu An smiled and said, "Mother? Are you worthy? I wonder how you killed my mother back then, but you didn't know much about it? I was still young at that time and didn't understand many things. I believed it when you said my mother was depressed and I didn't think there was anything else here. But until one day, I met the maid pomegranate whom I was coaxed by my mother in a mountain village in Changzhou. I realized that you poisoned the medicine my mother drank back then, and you killed her."
Speaking of this, Gu An opened his eyes wide and pointed at the old Qu family. His red eyes seemed to be the eyes of a wild beast, and he wanted to swallow the old Qu family.
Old Qu didn't care much at first, until Gu An mentioned the pomegranate, then he looked at Gu An with big eyes and terrified face. His lips were trembling and unable to close. His fingers that clutched the corners of his clothes were trembling, as if it was a sign of a stroke.
Gu Shuyu frowned and didn't say anything. After glanced at Old Qu, he fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about the woman who died in vain, thinking about her appearance and figure. However, he thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the appearance of that woman. He had to look at Gu An, hoping that he would remind him of everything about the poor woman.
Gu An stared at Old Qu, looking at her for a moment, "You killed her and killed Aunt Yue, who raised me. That woman has only been in the mansion for a few months. Even the servants can't remember her appearance. Even now, I'm afraid that even you have forgotten her? You are jealous of her, jealous of her good looks, and are deeply loved by her father, and have raised me by my side. You are afraid that one day she will climb onto your head and act as a mighty person and affect your status, so you started again.
You just don’t want me to live a good life. You want me to let my relatives leave me one by one. You attacked me repeatedly and forced me to leave the Hou Mansion and go out alone. Do you know what happened to me in those years? Do you know how much hardship I suffered? Do you know how many times I almost died in the underworld?
Then? You don’t like your concubine, but you stuffed a concubine into my room, and asked someone to monitor me. You will be bullied by you when you get married. You have no good looks all year round. They also have parents, and they are also treasures in their palms. Why do you torture them so much? Just because you are your mother-in-law? Do you think you are worthy?
After I returned to Beijing, I wanted to break up with you and stay away from you, but filial piety suppressed me and had to live here. But you acted in evil every day and caused trouble for us every day, and ruined our family's reputation endlessly. What is your purpose?
Just for the title of Dingyuan Hou? Let me tell you, Gu An is not interested, because I have already obtained the greatest support of Dingyuan Hou Mansion and the greatest wealth of Dingyuan Hou Mansion. This title is a burden to me, and I will not even ask for it for free.
You don’t like your concubine, I can understand your mood, but do I think of these? You can’t control your husband but you have to rely on all the blame on me and my mother. Why? Is she trying to be a concubine? Is it her seduced your husband?
You are not virtuous for your wife or bad for your mother, so why do you say you are my mother? You are worthy of it?"
Gu An's accusations made Gu Shuyu feel ashamed. He knew that Gu An had a hard time over the years, and also knew that Old Qu had taken action to clean up his two concubines, but he did nothing and watched helplessly as the two living lives disappeared.
The concubine was just a toy to him, dispensable. One died and the next one had nothing to do with him. He couldn't even remember their appearance now. They were just passers-by in his life, and he had never cared about it.
Old Qu stared at Gu An hatefully. She didn't care about what he said before. In her opinion, Gu An was still alive and was her greatest kindness. Those two damn foxes should die. She was uneasy if they didn't die. She couldn't speak out in this tone, so Old Qu didn't regret at all, and was quite complacent about her decisiveness.
As for the suffering that Gu An has suffered, he deserves it. Who should not be born in this world? The suffering that he has suffered is paying off his mother's debts, and it is what the mother and mother owe her.
But later, the old Qu heard something wrong again. What exactly is Gu An’s greatest wealth in Dingyuan Hou Mansion? Could it be that Gu Shuyu gave it to him?
Old Qu suspected Gu An. She turned her head and looked at Gu Shuyu suspiciously, and the hatred in her eyes flashed.
"What did you give to Gu An? What is the greatest wealth of Dingyuan Hou Mansion? Gold or Jade ore? Tell me! Tell me!"
Old Qu looked like crazy, grabbed Gu Shuyu's collar and shook it back and forth, almost spitting Gu Shuyu.
After all, Gu Shuyu was a man, so he quickly came to his senses and pulled off the old Qu's hand and roared: "What are you doing? Let go."
Old Qu was pulled over to the ground by Gu Shuyu without checking for a moment, and his forehead hit the corner of the table, and blood was flowing down at that time.
Gu Shuyu was startled and asked Gu An to help lift the old Qu to the collapse, but he didn't expect that Gu An would look at the old Qu without moving, listening to her continue to scold him.
"Hahaha, Gu An, this bastard, I shouldn't have been rude at that time. Just kill you directly. Your mother is a bitch, you are also a bitch, the wife you marry is a bitch, the bitch, the bitch is a bitch, your family is a bitch, haha, ah! Do you dare to hit me?"
Old Qu sat on the ground in disbelief and stared at Gu Yan, his eyes full of fear.
Gu Yan clapped her hands and sat back on her original position, "You asked for it yourself, if you are a slut, I will tear it apart."
Old Qu covered his left face that was beaten, and got up from the ground with blood on his face, and rushed towards Gu Yan regardless of the wound on his forehead.
"You bastard, dare you hit me? I am your grandmother. You dare to hit me, you will rebel against you..."
The old Qu rushed towards Gu Yan regardless of his own wounds. At this time, there was no quiet and elegant woman from a noble family. She was a shrew standing in the vegetable market and cursing.
The old Qu rushed towards Gu Yan. Gu Yan didn't even raise his eyelids, and Gu An was still there, so she didn't need to stop her.
Before Gu An could take action, Old Qu asked Gu Shuyu to stop him halfway, holding her thick waist and not letting go.
"You're crazy, stop, Qu, please calm me down..."
"Let go, you bastard, coward, that dead girl has bullied me. You just don't care? You old guy, old man, you can't die, let me go..."
The old Qu scolded the more he became more and more excited. Gu Shuyu was so angry that he slapped her, and stopped stopping her. He pointed at Gu Yan and said, "Go, go and hit her. If you are not afraid of death, go. I am immortal. What are you? Hahaha..., Gu Shuyu is governed by you in this life. In order to respect you, you watched you clean up three concubines. Even the last one was sent away without hesitation. In the end, he won the title of immortal. Do you want me to die so much?"
Old Qu seemed to have just come to his senses, covering the other side of the beating, looking at Gu Shuyu blankly. A drop of tears flowed down his cheeks, muttering to himself: "You forced me, you forced me. If you didn't take that bitch, how could I carry a maid to be a concubine for you? Before she could kill her, you carried another one into the door. The three concubines were circling around you every day. What should you do if you told me?
In order to share the favor, I had to carry a concubine into the door. Now, I finally had the chance to attack that bitch. Yes, I killed that bitch, so what? Both of them were thinking about my husband. Even when I saw you, I had to go to my concubine to find you. Isn’t it your fault?
I also killed Aunt Yue. She asked her to take in this bad guy!
Haha, it was Gu Ning's mother who had the scheming and the old beggar woman who actually made them appear, and then she became low-key. Otherwise, would you think they could still live?
Gu Ning's mother was not my attack. She really died of illness. It's ridiculous that your last concubine thought it was my attack and ran to the village overnight. It was really my wish. If she didn't leave, I wouldn't be able to keep her anymore."
Old Qu said the matter with hatred and looked at Gu An again, "I've said everything, are you satisfied now? What else do you want to know? I'll tell you."
Old Qu suddenly laughed, laughing wildly and freely, scaring the mother Qiu and Cui, who were uneasy when they heard the movements in the room, almost fled. They knelt at the door and looked at Old Qu.
Old Qu laughed for a while and no one paid attention to her, and continued with a smile: "Don't you just want to know about the Zhang family? OK, then I will tell you that I did the Zhang family's work, and I asked the little Qu to go to Chengning Bo Mansion to instruct Xiao to do it. Are you satisfied now? Hahaha..."
Gu Yan raised her eyebrows with the tea bowl, glanced at Old Qu without saying a word, and drank her tea quietly.
Gu An and Tang only glared at Old Qu, turned their heads to look at Gu Shuyu in unison, and waited for his disposal.
If Gu Shuyu could turn a blind eye to Gu An and his family, he would not be able to sit idly when it came to Gu Shuyu's life.
Gu Shuyu let go of the old Qu's arm, closed his eyes and sighed, "You are so brave. A life is nothing in your eyes. If the slaves below make a mistake, I won't say anything, but those two... Forget it, from now on, you will stay in the Buddhist temple and don't come out. When you are old, you should live a peaceful life and stop doing anything again."
Old Qu stopped making trouble and stood there blankly watching Gu Shuyu. Tears and blood flowed to the ground, but did not attract Gu Shuyu's eyes.
