Chapter 241 Decision (one more)
Gu Xiao grabbed the bow tightly and waited for a while with his ears pricked up again, only to hear the sound of "swoosh" archery in the Yanwu Arena from time to time, but no one was heard.
Recalling the words Gu Yanfei just said, Gu Xiao's heart was full of anger, he quietly bowed and left, walking faster and faster.
He first rushed to the outer study to find 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!"
Amid the exclamations of the servants, Gu Xiao rushed into the Dongci room without hesitation 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 such an adult, and he was reckless.
Gu Xiao's face was ashen, and there was an icy aura all over his body.
He didn't even salute his parents. As soon as he opened his mouth, he talked about the incident that he had just met Gu Yanfei in the martial arts field, and repeated what Gu Yanfei had just said:
"...She said that both the mansion and the title belong to the eldest brother."
"Also said that the eldest brother had merit in killing Feng He, and the eldest prince promised that the eldest brother would get his wish."
Gu Xiao's forehead was full of blue veins, and he was panting slightly.
Gu Jian and Wang's faces became more and more ugly.
When he heard the last sentence, Gu Jian frowned tightly, thoughtfully.
Seeing that his father had not spoken for a long time, Gu Xiao felt a mixture of grievances, anger, and sadness in his heart, and asked hard: "Father, you haven't made me the prince until now, are you trying to pass on the title to the eldest brother? "
"Could it be that I was picked up by you?"
"In other houses, the eldest son has long been established as the heir, and I am not the only one."
"Father, mother, do you know that I couldn't raise my head outside for the past two years, and everyone was pointing at me from behind..."
Gu Xiao was so excited that he almost broke his voice, his eyes were red, and he vented the grievances in his heart over the years and the unwillingness to suffer from Gu Yanfei just now, with a bit of anger and a bit of anger.
Gu Jian's heart surged with anger, slapped her palm heavily on the coffee table, and scolded unpleasantly, "Niezi, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Can you say these words casually?!"
Gu Jian's brows twitched, her hair and beard were spraying with anger, and her face was green and black.
"..." Gu Xiao's lips pursed into a stubborn arc and turned his face away.
The atmosphere between father and son suddenly stagnated.
Wang noticed that his son was described as a little embarrassed, and patted the dust on his son's robe distressedly, and smoothed his hair, "Brother Xiao, how did you do this? Are you hurt?"
The scene of being beaten by Gu Yanfei in the martial arts field and unable to fight back appeared in front of Gu Xiao's eyes again. The precarious self-esteem of the young man made him unable to speak.
He said firmly, "I'm fine."
Wang knew that his son was stubborn, so he took his hand and persuaded softly, "Brother Xiao, didn't you hurt me and your father's heart by saying such angry words just now?"
"Do you think your father and I don't want to make you the heir? Your father is more anxious than you about this!"
Mr. Wang sighed faintly, and a little tears welled up in his eyes.
She gestured to Gu Xiao with her eyes to make amends for his father, but Gu Xiao was at the most stubborn age of thirteen or fourteen years old, pursing his lips.
Wang tugged Gu Xiao's sleeve again.
Gu Xiao stepped forward with a stiff expression, and reluctantly and reluctantly confessed his mistake to Gu Jianzuo: "It's my son who is impulsive."
Gu Jian wasn't really annoyed at first, her face softened a little, she picked up the tea cup and took two sips of tea.
Mrs Wang pulled Gu Xiao, who had unruly brows and eyes, and sat down on the Luohan bed together, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
She calmed down and said with a little worry and uneasiness: "Master Hou, that girl Gu Yanfei said that Brother Yuan had meritorious deeds in killing Feng He, and the first prince promised that he would get his wish."
"I got my wish... You said, did Brother Yuan really have the idea of grabbing the title?"
"If the eldest prince makes up his mind to help Brother Yuan grab this title, what should we do?"
Wang's heart seemed to be crawling with countless ants, his eyes began to turn red again, and he was restless.
It has been eight years since Gu Jian Chengjue, but he has not been able to establish a heir.
It wasn't that he didn't want to stand up, but that all the papers he handed over were rejected.
This is also one of Wang's heart problems.
As long as her son was not made the heir, Wang Shi felt that the title of Marquis Dingyuan was nothing and had not come true. It was like a beautiful dream, and he did not know when he would wake up.
Gu Xiao also looked at Gu Jian with burning eyes and anxiety.
"..." Gu Jian put down the tea cup in her hand in a distraught, making a "pop" sound.
He just gave the emperor a book to ask for the establishment of the heir, but this time it is still in the sea, what can he do!
Originally, Gu Jian wasn't too worried. After all, Gu Ce's treason was in front of the country, and the emperor could never give the title to Gu Yuan.
But now, Gu Jian is not sure, his eyes are a little hesitant, and his heart sinks slightly.
If the eldest prince intervenes, it will be hard to say.
Even if he didn't know what to do, Gu Jian still said, "No way."
"Why not!" Wang couldn't help raising the volume.
The tone that I had held back in Cihetang broke out again at this time, "Sister Chang is about to marry King Kang, and our second room and King Kang will have an unclear relationship in the future."
"Kang Kang and the eldest prince are now **** for tat, who do you think the eldest prince will help?"
For the eldest prince, supporting Gu Yuan's rise to power is tantamount to suppressing King Kang's party.
This is obvious.
Even if there is no Feng He's death now, the eldest prince will definitely stand on Gu Yuan's side, just like King Kang will stand on the second room's side because of Gu Yunxiang.
Mr. Wang's heart was in a panic, and his fingers were white, clutching the veil, and he said again: "Besides, who will be in the end... Not sure."
Having said that, Mr. Wang closed his mouth and raised his finger to the sky with gloomy eyes.
means that between King Kang and the eldest prince, only one person can ascend to that supreme position.
If the eldest prince really takes the top, then the title of the second room will definitely not be preserved.
Gu Jian naturally understood Wang's unfinished words, and his face was gloomy and difficult to understand.
Gu Xiao next to was silent for a long time, then interjected with a sullen face: "Father, you didn't see it just now, Gu Yanfei shot an arrow in the face of his son just now in the martial arts field, but luckily the son hid quickly..."
said, he pointed to his right cheek.
Wang's complexion changed greatly when he heard the words, and he leaned over nervously to see, "Brother Xiao, your face..."
Only at this moment did Mrs. Wang realize that a small piece of skin on her son's cheek was a little red, her eyes widened in distress, and her body trembled with anger.
Her precious son, she grew up in the palm of her hand since she was a child. She has never been beaten or scolded, but she almost ruined her face by a little bitch.
Gu Jian got up hurriedly, with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in the house in annoyance, confused.
Wang Shi continued chattering: "Master Hou, this girl Gu Yanfei is too ruthless, except for Brother Yuan, she has no affection for the Hou Mansion, she clearly knows that Sister Cong is going to marry King Kang, so she has to go. If you are close to the First Prince, you have to force the Hou Mansion into a dilemma."
"Now, she's going too far!"
"This time, she clearly wanted to ruin Brother Xiao's appearance, make him look flawed and not become a prince."
"..." Gu Jian stopped abruptly, standing in the shadow of Duobao Pavilion, the face hidden in the shadow was slightly gloomy.
Unlike the Wang family, Mrs. Gu Tai has quietly told him about the "substitute".
Only then did Gu Jian know that Gu Ce was not his brother with the same mother and father.
And obviously, Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei also knew.
The Wang family in the rear was still chattering, but it was no longer in Gu Jian's ears.
Gu Jian secretly clenched his fists with a gloomy expression.
Over the years, he has been very good in the long room, and sent Gu Yuan to study. Gu Yuan wanted to give up literature and go to martial arts, so he let him alone. In the past, before Gu Yuncong's life experience was exposed, he also regarded this niece in the long room as his own.
However, Gu Yuan is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. For so many years, he has been coveting the title of nobility, ignoring his father Gu Ce's monstrous crime.
Really like his father there must be his son!
If you don't completely cut off Gu Yuan's thoughts, if you don't completely step on Gu Yuan into the mud, you will only breed tigers.
When the interruption is continuous, you will suffer from it.
Gu Jian's eyes suddenly turned fierce, finally made up his mind, and walked out of the house resolutely, behind Wang's slightly sharp voice: "Master Hou! Master Hou, where are you going?"
Gu Jian went out as if he had never heard of it. After he left the main courtyard, he went all the way west.
Mrs Wang is the head mistress of the Hou Mansion, so the affairs of the Hou Mansion were naturally hidden from her eyes and ears. After a while, she got the news, and Gu Jian went to Cihe Hall.
Mr. Wang had some expectations in his heart, and left Gu Xiao to have lunch in the main courtyard. After the lunch was over, Mrs. Wang became impatient. Gu Jian finally came back and only said one sentence:
"Mother has gone into the palace."
Mrs. Gu Tai did indeed enter the palace, wearing heavy makeup, knelt outside the Meridian Gate, and presented a document to plead guilty on behalf of her grandson Gu Yuan.
Zhezili said that the grandson Gu Yuan had always been stubborn and irritable, and was disobedient to discipline like his father, so he killed Jing Zhaoyin Feng He under impulse, and emphasized that Gu Yuan’s murder was impulsive, not at the behest of the eldest prince. .
This book was handed directly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Chu Yi immediately ordered Gu Yuan to be announced, threw the book to him, and only said lightly: "You take a day off today, go home, and come back on duty tomorrow."
After reading the book at a glance, Gu Yuan thanked him and retire.
He knew that Mrs. Gu Tai was kneeling at the Meridian Gate, and when she walked through the Meridian Gate, she saw a graceful Mrs. Gu Tai kneeling on the ground from a distance.
Mrs. Gu Tai was wearing gorgeous and heavy makeup, and the heavy five Zhai crown seemed to crush a person's neck, but her back was still straight.
Mrs. Gu Tai also saw Gu Yuan walking towards her in front of her, and the grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other from a distance.
