Chapter 253： Prodigal (one more)

Chapter 253 Prodigal (one more)

"It's you, right?" Mrs. Wang said hoarsely, describing righteous indignation, almost insane, "You killed Jing Zhaoyin and angered Longyan in a hurry, but caused a huge disaster for my Houfu!"

"How could a prodigal like you be born in the Hou Mansion, and you have also lost the title left by your ancestors!"

"Gu Yuan, you are going to split up with the Hou Mansion, and you have to implicate the Hou Mansion. You are just like your father..."

The more she talked, the more angry she became, and the more she hated her, she really wished she would rush up and scratch at Gu Yuan like a shrew in the market.

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

There was no need for Gu Yuan to say anything, the patriarch pointed at the Wang family first, and scolded back in a stern voice: "Wang family, have you had enough!"

"What's wrong with Brother Guan Yuan!"

"You bitch, don't ask the reason, but you 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 terrible disaster for the Gu family, and now they are hiding and don't dare to come to see people!"

The patriarch has always been good-natured, and he rarely used such fierce words, and rarely made such a big fire, which calmed the clan elders on the side.

The patriarch was still puzzled after scolding, and called a woman in the hall over and asked her to rush to call Gu Jian.

The old woman only complied with her promise, and hurried out with her skirt in hand.

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

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

The    clan elders looked at each other, their faces full of shock, and their hearts were even more uncertain.

"..." Wang Shi was speechless after being scolded, his face was blue and white, and he felt a little ashamed. He really wanted to order someone to drive the patriarch out, but he didn't believe what the patriarch said: How could the Gu family's expulsion be because of the Hou Hou? How about grandpa!

The clan elders next to    have already pulled Gu Yuan to ask what happened.

The patriarch was annoyed when he looked at the Wang family, and scolded again as an elder: "The clan is divided, what are you doing here as a woman! Why don't you go out quickly!"

Wang's face was even more ugly, his chest heaved violently, and he raised his neck and said, "Why? I am a dignified lady..."

She is the mistress of this mansion, what qualifications 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 for a moment, and warned in a slow tone, "I am the one who decides today, you can leave if you want."

His face was solemn and his words were clear.

Wang: "..."

Wang Shi's pupils shrank sharply, this time she 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 detached status in the clan. Can be the owner of these houses.

Mrs. Wang clenched the handkerchief in her hand and kneaded the handkerchief into a wrinkled state.

She gave Gu Xiao a wink, let her son stay here, and went out by herself.

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

He is still immersed in the shock of the marquis being seized, and he does not want to believe this cruel fact: the family is about to be separated soon, and his father will soon be able to appoint the prince for him. How could the marquis be seized? !

Mr. Wang walked down the stone steps slowly, turned around and glanced into the hall, the more he thought about it, the more panic he became, and his heart was still up and down.

She waved to the big maid next to her, and whispered, "Go and tell the third girl..."

The eldest maid had just left on the front foot, and Gu Jian walked towards this side with a dark face on the back foot, with a sinister aura all over her body, not far behind followed by the old woman who had just been called by the patriarch to call someone.

"Master Hou..."

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

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

Gu Jian lifted his robe and stepped over the threshold, just in time to hear the patriarch say disdainfully: "...The censor impeached Gu Jian on the spot for stealing the family property, not allowing his nephew, and he was still talking in front of the imperial family, wanting to put his nephew to death..."

Gu Jian's face turned darker, his fists clenched tightly.

He was such a big man standing at the gate, and the patriarch and the elders naturally saw him. The patriarch just asked him coldly, "Did I say something wrong?"

Gu Jian didn't say a word, his face was tense, his thin lips pursed like iron lines, and he sat down on the seat that belonged to him with a stern face.

At this moment, silence means acknowledgment.

Everyone seems to be immersed in the cold pool, their hands, feet and hearts are all cold, anxious and panic, but they can't help but feel a little fortunate.

God knows that the emperor almost made the three generations of the Gu family banned from the imperial examination. In contrast, now it is only a matter of winning the title, which is already a light sentence.

This is nothing but a joy in suffering.

The hearts of the    clan elders are all about crying without tears, grief, panic, irritability, loss, anxiety and so on.

Originally, their family had a title, which was not comparable to those of the wealthy squires in the capital.

It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree. As nobles, they can not only be exempted from taxes and corvée, but also have various preferential treatment in the future. If they want to enter the military camp, or enter several major academies in Beijing, they will have great convenience.

To be more realistic, even if the clansmen got offended by officials, Jingzhao Mansion would also read Hou Mansion and be a little more polite to the Gu clan.

But it's all gone now.

Their Gu family has become an ordinary family.

This is all caused by the mother and son of Gu Jian and Mrs. Gu Tai!

Gu Yao, Gu Xuan and his son, the achievements made by the father and son who threw their heads in the battlefield and poured their blood into the field were squandered by the mother and son!

Just now, the Wang family 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 he was publicly executed, and his face was extremely stiff.

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

His neck stalked, his chin raised, and his voice was like ice.

His commanding and arrogant attitude made the clan elders in the hall even more displeased. He felt that Gu Jian had harmed the Gu family like this, and he didn't even know how to reflect, which was really embarrassing.

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

The patriarch looked around at everyone present, and finally met Gu Jian's gloomy eyes, and said categorically, "Then let's go."

must be scored.

No matter what, Gu Yuan will be dragged down.

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

Gu Jian was annoyed when she heard Gu Yanfei's voice, she frowned, and thought to herself, "Isn't it all done already!"

He turned his head to look at Gu Yanfei, and scolded angrily, "You don't have the right to speak here!"

Gu Yanfei smiled instead of being angry, instead of looking at Gu Jian, he turned his head to look at Gu Yuan on the other side, showing a shallow smile, as bright as spring, as bright as the sun, and said obediently, "Brother, you will be there for a while. Don't delay your errand if you're going on an errand."

He didn't mention the fact that Chu Yi gave him a day off, and said as if nothing had happened to his sister: "I still have work to do. I'll sit for a while, and then I should go."

"..." The patriarch couldn't help but look at Gu Yuan when he heard the words.

The heroic young man in front and the exasperated middle-aged man on the other side can be described as one in the sky and the other in the ground; one is the rising sun, and the other is the twilight.

The patriarch stared deeply at Gu Yuan, his mind floating.

Judging from the tone of the emperor and the eldest prince just now, Gu Yuan was successful in rescuing and driving at Chengtianmen that day, and he has a bright future and will definitely be reused by the eldest prince.

The Gu family had to rely on Gu Yuan to regain this title.

knighthood.

Thinking of the title, the patriarch's heart warmed up, it seemed that his whole body was injected 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.

The fallen family is like Shen Xue, and Shen Xian still needs to use heavy medicine. If the family wants to rise again, it must cut the mess with a quick knife.

The patriarch put down his hand with his whiskers, and said solemnly: "When Uncle Yao was alive, he set the clan rules. If the descendants of Chengjue are not filial and lose the title, they will no longer be the head of the family."

"Today, the second house lost the title, and the family business of your family should be inherited by the long house."

"Except for the widowed three rooms, all the other rooms go out."

The patriarch already had the rules in mind, his tone was firm, and he was quite quick to cut through the mess.

The words of the patriarch    were like a bolt of lightning that struck Gu Jian, and it was like a dagger stabbed straight into his heart.

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

Gu Jian is going crazy.

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

No, absolutely not!
