The elders of the Gu family looked at each other with emotion. They had also noticed the scene of Madam Wang pulling Gu Jian’s sleeve just now. They thought to themselves, “As expected, it’s Gu Jian who split up the family, but he still has to push the blame onto his nephew and niece.”
They sighed and shook their heads, somewhat in disagreement.
As an uncle, Gu Jian shouldn’t have treated his eldest brother’s children so harshly!
Gu Yanfei stroked her sleeve and raised her eyebrows at Gu Jian. A small smile appeared on her face. “Marquis, do we have to make things clear? Who wants to split up the family?”
Gu Jian said without hesitation, “It’s me.”
“You should have said that earlier.” Gu Yanfei sighed faintly, causing Gu Jian to vomit blood.
Gu Yanfei casually played with a purple ribbon hanging by her ear. She looked around at everyone and said slowly, “It’s the Marquis who wants to split up the family. All the elders can testify.”
Gu Yuan looked at Gu Yanfei quietly. His eyes were unbelievably gentle, like the bright sun in spring.
His sister was originally a casual and willful person. She liked to go straight to the point. It was because of him that she went around in such a big circle…
The separation of the Marquis Mansion had to be mentioned by his uncle. Only then would he not be talked about in the future.
Gu Yuan was smiling, and Gu Jian was about to cry. He held his breath, and his mouth was filled with a strong, salty smell.
It was clearly Gu Yuan who suggested splitting up the family, but in just a few words, it became clear that he was the one who insisted on splitting up the family. He was the one who bullied Gu Yuan as an uncle.
However, he couldn’t explain himself.
Gu Jian only stared coldly at Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said to everyone, “Patriarch, elders, please bear witness to the separation of the family.”
This sentence took almost all his strength. After saying it, a sense of exhaustion swept through his body.
For a moment, the hall was silent.
The patriarch stroked his beard again and sighed. He confirmed with Gu Jian again, “Marquis, have you thought it through?”
“The separation of the family is like water overturned. There’s no turning back.”
“You and Brother Yuan share the same roots.”
Several elders at the side also persuaded him. Most of them hoped that Gu Jian could consider it carefully.
The separation of the family was very important. If word spread, it would inevitably make people doubt the Marquis Mansion’s family’s discord and be disadvantageous to the Gu family’s reputation.
Gu Jian’s ears were buzzing from their words. Apart from feeling stifled, he also felt a little impatient. However, he still smiled apologetically and said a few words, “I’ve made up my mind.”
Seeing that one of the elders still wanted to persuade him, Gu Jian beat him to it and said, “Speaking of which, there’s a joyous occasion in the family that I haven’t had time to tell everyone yet. The palace has already booked a wedding for Rong’er and Kang Wang in a month’s time.”
“At that time, we have to invite all the relatives of the family to the residence for a wedding banquet.”
All the elders present knew that the engagement had been made. When they heard that the wedding date had been set, they couldn’t help but look happy.
Their Gu family was about to have a princess consort. To the entire family, this was a huge joy!
After the patriarch and a few close elders interacted for a while, he stroked his beard and pondered for a long time. He looked at Gu Yuan and his sister, then at Gu Jian and his wife. He slapped the table and said, “Then let’s split up.”
Gu Jian and the Wang couple heaved a sigh of relief.
The patriarch composed himself and said, “Marquis, there are a total of five branches in the Marquis Mansion. Should we split up the eldest branch this time, or should the other branches also split up? Do you have any opinions?”
Gu Jian had already made plans, so he replied sarcastically, “Brother Yuan has his own opinions. He wants to separate from the family, so I’m thinking of cutting the eldest branch out.”
“The third branch is a widow. Fourth Brother has always been in charge of the Marquis Mansion’s general affairs and can’t leave the Marquis Mansion. Meanwhile, Fifth Brother is still studying.”
As he spoke, Gu Jian secretly glanced at Madam Wang. He had long discussed with her that if they split up, no one would say that they couldn’t tolerate their brothers’ children.
Madam Wang pinched her cuffs elegantly. Her nails, stained with phoenix flower juice, shone faintly against the gold ring embedded with tricolored gems, and her pinkies curled up slightly.
Gu Yuan nodded and said, “Sure.”
The patriarch glanced at Gu Jian and Gu Yuan, who were described as uncle and nephew with very different temperaments. He continued, “According to the ancestral system, the family that inherits the title of nobility will get 70% of the assets. The remaining 30% will be divided among the other families. The legitimate children will get twice as much as the children of the concubines.” “Do you have any objections?”
