The characteristic of a large feudal family is that fathers never consider the self-esteem of their children. They treat their children more in a condescending way.
That is, what I say must be right. Sons must obey me. I don’t care about you because I have my own reasons. If I want to control you, you must also obey.
Zhou Guozhang especially took this to the extreme, so it was impossible for him to consider the child's psychological problems, and he didn't think it was anything at all.
Therefore, after bringing Zhou Jia back, he whipped Zhou Jia with a few sticks and made him kneel in the ancestral hall, and then he went to deal with the rumors that were raging in the city outside.
When Zhou Jia collapsed miserably in the ancestral hall, everyone was afraid of Zhou Guozhang's wrath and did not dare to see him. The first person to see him was Gu Mo.
As soon as Gu Mo arrived, he brought the spirit of tea art to the extreme.
"I know there are thousands of reasons why I shouldn't come, but I'm really afraid that the father-in-law's temper will come up and embarrass you, so I can only come and see for myself. As long as I can see that you are fine, I will feel relieved..."
Zhou Jia was extremely moved and burst into tears.
Gu Mo seemed to have realized that Zhou Jia was seriously injured at this time, and quickly comforted him nervously, and then took out the healing medicine that he had prepared and applied it to Zhou Jia.
Zhou Jia was not seriously injured in the first place. After all, he was his own son. It was impossible for Zhou Guozhang to kill him. Even though Zhou Jia had fine skin and tender flesh, the wounds on his body looked particularly serious.
But as soon as Gu Mo took off the healing medicine, Zhou Jia was seriously injured, causing him to whimper in pain.
Gu Mo looked distressed and concerned, "This medicine is a tribute from other countries. It is very effective, but it hurts a little when applied to the wound. Please bear with it."
When the Zhou family was about to cry, Gu Mo said again, "You are a real man, what does this little pain mean to you? It's not like those good-for-nothing sons of mine, who will die if their farts get bigger."
Zhou Jia swallowed back his cries immediately, and Gu Mo sprinkled powder on his wound vigorously. The pain was so painful that he almost passed away, and he gritted his teeth and did not cry out the pain.
After Gu Mo sprinkled medicine powder all over his wound, he sighed, "When the abbot took you out of the palace, I even advised the abbot to speak carefully and never do anything to you. Why did you get beaten like this?"
Why……"
Zhou Jia was also aggrieved and felt that his father was hateful because he looked down on his little son, so whatever he did was wrong, so he always found excuses to beat him!
Gu Mo looked guilty and continued to display his tea art spirit.
"In the final analysis, it's all my fault. If I could have stopped you from fighting with Jiu Qiansui, if I could have persuaded you not to argue with the queen... In short, it's all my fault. It was me who caused you...
…”
Zhou Jia quickly said, "It has nothing to do with you. It's just my father who made a fuss out of a molehill and deliberately caused trouble for me because he saw that I was unhappy!"
Gu Mo explained for Zhou Guozhang again, "You can't say that. A tiger's poison will not eat its seeds. You are the Zhang Guozhang's biological son. How could he really not like you? It's just that he loves his son very much, so he is inevitably a bit harsh..."
These words did not alleviate Zhou Jia's resentment towards Zhou Guozhang at all.
"He is just a partial brother! He is just dissatisfied with me. As long as he has me as his son in his heart, he will not beat me with his life!"
Zhou Jia was not often beaten to death by his own father, so when Zhou Guozhang beat him once in a while, he found it difficult to accept it.
Seeing that he was agitated, Gu Mo had no choice but to follow his words, "Yes, yes, it's all the father-in-law's fault..."
Sighing, he continued: "You only impulsively made trouble in Yong'an Palace out of a sense of justice. After all, you are not at all wrong. It is really not appropriate for Zhou Guozhang to punish you. It was also my fault at that time.
I didn't think carefully, thinking that since you are the son of the father-in-law, he will not be willing to beat you, otherwise he will not let the father-in-law take you out of the palace no matter what."
Zhou Jia was moved to tears, "Everyone only likes my eldest brother and calls me a bastard. They don't like me. You are the only one in the world who appreciates me and cares about me. Your Majesty, you are such a good person. I wish I were your son."
OK……"
"I wish you were my biological son."
Gu Mo also joined the drama every minute, "My sons are not around, and you are the only one who cares about me like a child. I also treat you as my son in my heart. Seeing you hurt like this, I feel really sad."
I’m still sad when I’m injured…”
Then he continued to immerse himself in the performance, "I always feel that I am very close to you, as if we were father and son in our previous life..."
Zhou Jia couldn't hold it in anymore. He felt that with Gu Mo, he felt the long-lost father's love, so he couldn't help but cry in Gu Mo's arms.
Gu Mo gently patted his back to comfort him and looked through Zhou Jia's head towards the door.
Zhou Guozhang didn't know how long he had been listening outside the door, but Gu Mo could see her trembling beard anyway.
If his own son hates him and wants to be someone else's son, no father would be able to bear it.
No matter how cunning and cunning the city was, Zhou Guozhang couldn't bear it at this moment. He finally kicked the door open and rushed towards Zhou Jia angrily.
If he didn't scold Gu Mo, he would scold Zhou Jia. In fact, he was scolding Gu Mo in a roundabout way.
The scolding was unpleasant. Gu Mo was thick-skinned, but he didn't feel anything at all.
As for Zhou Jia...
How did he know that Zhou Guozhang was scolding Gu Mo? He only knew that Zhou Guozhang's unpleasant words were all directed at him.
He ignored the pain on his body and shouted angrily, "Since my son is so unpopular with you, then just kill me!"
Zhou Guozhang was really provoked and drew his sword. Zhou Jia looked fearless, "Come on, kill me! Kill me!"
Zhou Guozhang didn't swing his sword at all. He was counting on Gu Mo to come out and smooth things over, but Gu Mo just watched the show with gusto.
But Zhou Jia was still irritating Zhou Guozhang. Zhou Guozhang couldn't bear it anymore and actually swung his sword towards Zhou Jia.
But his sword was deliberately deflected, and there was no way it could hurt Zhou Jia.M.
However, Gu Mo made a smart move at this time and rushed forward to push Zhou Jia away, and then pushed Zhou Jia very accurately under Zhou Guozhang's sword.
Zhou Jia's shoulder was stabbed by a sword, and then he looked at Zhou Guozhang in disbelief.
"You actually want to kill me?! You actually want to kill your own son?!"
Zhou Guozhang's cheek twitched and he stared at Gu Mo intently.
Gu Mo, "Hey, Qingnu, this is not the fault of the abbot, it's me. I thought the abbot was really angry and wanted to kill you, so I wanted to push you away, but I didn't expect..."
At this moment, Zhou Guozhang no longer cared about Gu Mo being the emperor, and shouted, "Shut up! If you hadn't had ulterior motives to drive a wedge between our father and son, how could our father and son be in such trouble?"
Zhou Jia said angrily, "You were the cause of the incident between our father and son. What does it have to do with His Majesty?"
Gu Mo looked guilty, "No, the emperor is right, I do have a responsibility. Although I like Qingnu, I am an outsider after all. I should not interfere too much, and I should not let the emperor misunderstand that I want to rob him.
