“Marquis!”
“Father!”
Madam Wang and Gu Xiao shouted at Gu Jian almost at the same time.
The mother and son were at a loss. They still didn’t know what was going on.
At the back, the patriarch got out of another carriage with the help of a servant. He sighed sadly.
No one paid attention to Madam Gu in the previous carriage, as if they had completely forgotten about her.
“Uncle.” Gu Yuan jumped down from a tall black horse and walked to the patriarch’s side. He cupped his fists and said, “Please preside over the separation of the family.”
The patriarch was speechless.
The patriarch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. The corners of his wrinkled mouth were pursed into a straight line. His helpless eyes seemed to be asking if they still wanted to split it.
Gu Yuan didn’t speak and only looked up at the empty lintel in front of him.
After the plaque of the “Dingyuan Marquis Mansion” was taken off, the shape of a plaque was left on the lintel.
The young man raised his well-defined chin slightly, a faint smile on his firm lips.
He was clearly smiling, but it made people feel heavy, as if there was something heavy on his shoulders. His figure was still tall and straight, like a pine tree and a longsword.
The patriarch looked at Gu Yuan’s handsome side profile in a daze. From his bright eyes and firm lips, he vaguely felt a sense of mission.
The future of the Gu family depended on Gu Yuan.
This thought suddenly appeared in the patriarch’s mind. Then, he understood as if he had been enlightened.
Yes, it could be seen that Madam Gu and Gu Jian were narrow-minded and couldn’t tolerate Gu Yuan standing up for them.
If they didn’t split up, this mother and son might cause trouble in the future and hinder Gu Yuan’s future.
At this point, the eldest branch and the second branch would definitely not tolerate it.
It was better to split up.
The patriarch nodded solemnly and said with his hands behind his back, “Brother Yuan, let’s go to the hall first.”
Madam Wang looked at Gu Jian’s back and then at the patriarch’s solemn face. She felt even more uncertain and had an ominous feeling.
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly and watched helplessly as the Suanni Stone Beast was moved away by the imperial guards.
Gu Xiao frowned and tightened his jaw. He said to Gu Yuan sarcastically, “Brother, someone is causing trouble at home. Are you just going to watch helplessly?”
Wasn’t Gu Yuan always very arrogant? Now that he was bullied at the door of his house, he didn’t dare to make a sound!
It turned out that he was just a bully.
Gu Yuan only glanced at Gu Xiao indifferently, as if Gu Xiao didn’t enter his eyes at all. He ignored him completely and reached out to the patriarch in an inviting manner. “Uncle, please.”
Gu Yuan and the patriarch walked side by side and crossed the high threshold.
Gu Xiao clenched his fists until the bones in his fists creaked. He could only pull Madam Wang into the residence and say to himself, ‘Anyway, Big Brother can only be arrogant for this moment. When the Marquis Household is completely separated, their eldest branch will move away from the Marquis Mansion:
With that thought in mind, Gu Xiao straightened his back and strode towards the main hall of the outer courtyard.
The sun was shining brightly outside. In the main hall, everyone was in a panic.
The hall was in a mess. Half of the boxes containing the ledgers had been opened. Most of the ledgers had been taken out. Some were piled up high, and some were spread out on the long table and coffee table.
None of the elders were in the mood to look at the account book. Some were sitting and drinking tea, some were pacing back and forth in the hall, and some were looking uneasily in the direction of the door.
“The patriarch is back!” someone shouted.
The elders immediately perked up and looked at the patriarch and Gu Yuan outside the hall with joy.
The elders surrounded the patriarch and said at once,
“Brother, you’re back.”
“Where’s Madam? Have you brought her back?”
“Eh, why isn’t the Marquis with you? Could it be that he’s dealing with the imperial guards at the door?”
“You should have seen the imperial guards at the door, right? Why are they here?”
II II
Ever since the patriarch and the others left, these elders had been looking at the accounts here and keeping an eye on the accounts to check the businesses. Later on, Madam Wang called Gu Xiao over to accompany them.
Originally, everything was fine. Unexpectedly, the imperial guards suddenly came aggressively.
The elders felt uneasy and weren’t in the mood to deal with the accounts.
Facing the questioning gazes, the patriarch waved his hand weakly and said tiredly, “He has been stripped of his title.”
He had been stripped of his title?!
The elders were shocked. Madam Wang and Gu Xiao couldn’t believe their ears.
A few people sat weakly on the chairs at the back. Some stood rooted to the ground in a daze, while others blurted out in disbelief, “What? How did that happen?”
Although the title of Marquis of Dingyuan belonged to Gu Yao and Gu Xuan, to the entire Gu family, the title was a guarantee, a help, and an honor.
The Dingyuan Marquis Household was the confidence of the Gu family.
How could the title be seized?!
The more the elders thought about it, the more agitated they became. Their hearts ached as they surrounded the patriarch and questioned,
“Patriarch, what’s going on?”
“That’s right. How did the Marquis’ title get confiscated for no reason?”
It was as if a spoonful of cold water had been poured into a hot pot of oil. The main hall exploded.
Amidst the commotion, only Gu Yanfei sat calmly at the side. She didn’t even move the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. She had a hint of calmness that wouldn’t change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her.
Gu Yuan walked straight to Gu Yanfei’s side and sat down. He took the tea from his sister and smiled.
Madam Wang’s mind went blank from the grievous news of the conquest.
When she came back to her senses, her first reaction was that this was definitely caused by Gu Yuan. Her angry gaze was like a knife as she looked at Gu Yuan’s face and raised her hand to point at him..
