Gu Chengyi's words were like a huge stone smashing into the lotus pond, shocking everyone and dumbfounding...
"Isn't this true? The Gu family really dug up their daughter-in-law's grave?"
"The granddaughter and grandson of the Gu family have said this and how can they still be false? If it wasn't true, this sister of the Gu family would not have ruined everything."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Gu was interrupted in the middle of his oath just now by Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu must be afraid of taking the oath."
"No wonder the Gu family sister asked, are you really my father? If I had such a father, I would rather die and surrender to him again, maybe I can live a more comfortable life."
"Why would the Gu family do this? This is obviously a thankless job?"
"That's right. No matter what happens, the Gu family will never argue with a dead person?"
…
Due to Gu Chengyi's appearance, the crowd of onlookers was no longer one-sided and started talking among themselves. Yan Qing did not stop it, and only asked the official to maintain order to prevent others from taking advantage of the loophole.
Mrs. Gu and Gu Guogong's faces turned green and white. Gu Guogong glared at Chengyi fiercely, "Who asked you to come out? Why don't you go back quickly? You don't know how high the world is. Didn't your father teach you loyalty, filial piety and kindness?"
"Uncle, I..." Gu Chengyi looked at Gu Guogong timidly, his eyes were red and he was trembling, as if he was frightened.
When the onlookers saw this, they all accused Gu Guogong of bullying his nephew and not acting like an elder.
Gu Guogong was so upset that he was almost dead with anger, but he couldn't do anything to Gu Chengyi. The place was crowded with people watching the fun. If he hit Chengyi, he didn't know what kind of scolding he would get.
Gu Guogong flicked his sleeves and ordered his servants: "Come, take the eldest lady and young master Chengyi back."
Mrs. Gu also came back to her senses at this time and hurriedly added: "Go and ask the imperial doctor to come quickly. Young Master Chengyi must have been infected by evil spirits, so he is talking nonsense here."
In short, no matter what happens, Mrs. Gu will never admit that Wu Yun's grave has been dug up, and she will insist on talking nonsense to these two children.
"No, I'm not possessed and I'm not talking nonsense." Gu Chengyi's small body shrank and hurriedly hid beside Gu Qiancheng, eager to defend himself.
"Sister Qiancheng, believe me. I'm not lying. My eldest aunt's tomb is really empty. I asked the tombkeeper and he said that my grandmother had someone dig it out. I'm not lying. Sister Qiancheng, I told you everything."
It’s the truth, I didn’t lie.”
If Gu Chengyi hadn't been standing next to him, Gu Qiancheng would have been deceived by Gu Chengyi. Gu Chengyi pretended to be too much. He was a stubborn person who had been wronged and didn't know how serious the matter was. He only stubbornly defended himself.
juvenile.
As expected, those who approach red are red, and those who approach ink are dark. Chengyi finally learned to use his scheming skills.
Gu Qiancheng was very pleased. He lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes, and said with a tired expression: "Chengyi, be good... Stop talking, you will be taking part in the imperial examination in the future. Third uncle has no way to take part in the imperial examination, you
You must take part in the imperial examination, Third Uncle puts all his hopes on you."
Gu Qiancheng patted Gu Chengyi's head, seemingly helpless, but actually he insulted Mrs. Gu again.
Gu Chengyi did not disappoint Gu Qiancheng. He lowered his head in a sluggish manner and said nothing. He looked straight at Mrs. Gu with his bright red eyes, his eyes filled with mist, but he did not dare to let tears fall.
Mrs. Gu was hacked twice in a row, and she was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. She could only keep tapping the ground with her crutch to highlight her status and attract everyone's attention.
After finally getting everyone to focus on her, Mrs. Gu was about to retort, but the silent and strong man who came with Gu Chengyi suddenly stepped forward.
"Mrs. Gu, I am a descendant of the Wu family. My name is Wu Ding. Our Wu family received news in Mobei that the eldest lady's grave was dug up. No one in the Wu family believed it, so they sent me to Beijing to confirm.
I just met the young master of your family in the cemetery. The two of us saw with our own eyes that the grave of my eldest daughter of the Wu family had been tampered with. The tomb was new. I opened it with my hand and found the coffin inside.
It's also new.
I didn't open it to see if the coffin buried in the Gu family cemetery was empty. I came here today to hope that the Gu family can give me an explanation from the Wu family, why the tomb and coffin are new even after the eldest daughter of my family died fifteen years ago.
?”
The man named Wu Ding is neither humble nor arrogant, but his words are sharp and get to the heart of the issue.
Mrs. Gu and Duke Gu's expressions changed greatly. Mrs. Gu opened her mouth to refute, but Wu Ding didn't give him a chance, "Old Madam, don't say anything. The Gu family built a tomb for my eldest lady. If they really built a tomb for the eldest lady,
How could the young lady not know, and how could she kneel down and beg you to return the eldest lady’s bones to her?” The young lady refers to Gu Qiancheng.
"Old madam, although the members of my Wu family are all in Mobei, they are not easy to bully. If you really dig up the grave of my eldest daughter, my Wu family will have to seek justice even if it depends on the imperial decree." Wu Ding.
He walked up to Gu Qiancheng and saluted her, "Little Miss, if the Gu family dares to dig up the eldest lady's grave, I will kill you and silence you. It is not appropriate for the Gu family to return. I also ask Miss Cousin to follow me back to the old house of the Wu family, although it is a bit dilapidated.
But I slept peacefully at least.”
Wu Ding's words were straightforward and sharp. Mrs. Gu was so angry that her head was filled with blood, and the crutch in her hand almost flew out, "No, Qiancheng is the daughter of my Gu family, how can I live in your Wu family? Qiancheng, Chengyi and my grandmother
go back!"
The old lady is used to being arrogant, but...
Gu Qiancheng and Gu Chengyi both lowered their heads and said nothing as if they had made an appointment.
"How dare you disobey grandma?" Mrs. Gu's eyes widened with unspeakable ferocity, and she didn't have the slightest bit of grace of Mr. Gu Guogong.
"Grandma, Chengyi doesn't dare. It's just that before my father left, he told his grandson to study hard so that he can take the imperial examination and become an official in the future. My grandson wants to study in an academy. I beg grandma not to lock me in the yard." Gu Chengyi was already attracted by the scene.
The fire belt was broken, and everything she said was a trap. The old lady was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Mrs. Gu had no choice but to step forward and said softly: "Chengyi, what do you know about your child? Isn't it good to study at home? Grandma will invite you to have a master, and you will be a hundred times better than you are in the academy.
"
"But, but..." Gu Chengyi looked like he was about to cry. When everyone was impatient, he finally said it: "Brother Chengzhi has gone to study abroad. Why am I the only one studying at home?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu with understanding eyes. It is understandable to suppress the bastard and not let the bastard stand out. Now, even the bastard's son is suppressed. The Gu family is really awesome!
"No, that's not the case." Mrs. Gu wanted to explain, but Gu Chengzhi was indeed not at Gu's house. Mrs. Gu suffered the disadvantage of being mute and could not speak out about her suffering.
Seeing this, Wu Ding stepped forward and protected Gu Qiancheng and Gu Chengyi behind him, "Old Madam Gu, Gu Guogong, you Gu family are willing to let your direct relatives kneel and kowtow three times, but my Wu family is reluctant to do so. I will take the young lady away first, and you guys will wait.
Don't worry, our Wu family will never let my cousin suffer any injustice. As for the young master in your house, you can also rest assured that I will send him to the academy safely. If there is any damage, I will commit suicide to apologize."
Wu Ding said it with great awe and righteousness, but how could the Gu family be so willing?
Mrs. Gu calmed down and roared angrily: "How can the descendants of my Gu family go to other people's homes? Qiancheng, I promise you to come back to me." As she spoke, Mrs. Gu rushed towards Wuding regardless, her posture was to compete with Wuding.
