Want me to give up my daughter? This is a great plan! That is, she has fulfilled her motherly affection and cut off her arm. The most important thing is to make his daughter hate him. From then on, she will be ruthless. The outside world will also say that he is cruel and ruthless. For his reputation and future, his daughter will be wanted. Such a person is not worthy of being a father or a minister.

Gu An sneered and glanced at Old Qu, and just this glance almost made Old Qu scream.

Gu An has been working hard on the battlefield for many years, and how could the sharp eyes be able to bear a woman in the Qu family?

It's so terrible! Gu An can't stay anymore, so he must find a way to get rid of it, otherwise he would not have a good life for his mother and son after this incident.

Old Qu was even more afraid of Gu An and had already begun to think about how to expel him from the Hou Mansion to avoid threatening Gu Huai.

Gu Shuyu was not that weak, so he recovered in a few breaths. He pointed at Gu An and wanted to curse.

Gu An stopped Gu Shuyu before he spoke, "Father should think twice. The emperor is waiting to see tomorrow's competition!"

Gu Shuyu choked and calmed down again.

Nonsense! He didn't know that the emperor was waiting to see it? Otherwise, he would have driven Gu Yan out of the house today and could he wait until tomorrow?

Gu Shuyu stared coldly at Gu An who threatened him, and felt a little afraid of this son.

His son, whom he had never seen before, is so outstanding now, and he wants someone to get rid of him.

Gu Shuyu's eyes were stained with a complex look.

It is right that he is his son, but his existence has threatened his status. He is not the same as himself. He hates him. Such a son is a disaster in the Hou Mansion. But he has grown up and has registered in the emperor's heart. If he gets rid of him, it will undoubtedly be a loss to the Hou Mansion, and let people know that the consequences are not something that he or the Hou Mansion can bear.

Then there is only one way to go, divide the family and completely separate their house, so that they will not implicate the Hou Mansion, and they can also lean on Gu An at critical moments. This is the best of both worlds.

Gu An didn't know what Gu Shuyu was thinking. If he had asked him to know, he would definitely laugh three times. He would rather leave the house and let Gu Shuyu split up immediately. Then the family quickly left here and stay away from the people in the Hou Mansion, so as not to be plotted by them in the future.

Gu Shuyu thought about the matter of splitting up the family, but now it cannot be done. First, the emperor is very concerned. If he knows that he abandoned Gu An at this time, his status in the emperor's heart will be greatly reduced. Second, the third house is not there, and splitting up the family is easily criticized at this time.

It is impossible to separate for the time being, and Gu An also disagrees with expelling Gu Yan from the mansion or sending him to the ancestral temple, so he can only be banned from the mansion.

Gu Shuyu took a deep breath and decided to take a step back. "Gu Yan, Gu Hou Mansion's reputation, is a fact that doing something that damages the reputation of the Hou Mansion. You cannot protect her. If you do not agree to send her to the ancestral temple, then keep your feet in custody and copy ten volumes of Buddhist scriptures."

Gu An narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Father's words are wrong. Yan'er did nothing wrong today. It was all taught by her son. If she said it was wrong, it was the son who was wrong. The son shouldn't teach her these. But father, do you think I was wrong? Are women really weaker than men? I don't know that my wife and daughter are not worse than men, and they are even more capable than me, my husband and father. Otherwise, the emperor would not be able to recognize people with wise eyes and make exceptions and sign them as the country's ladies and county lords. Father, do you think so?"

Yes? It’s your steamed bun!

Ahhh! I scolded me wrongly, this is also their family.

Gu Shuyu and several clan elders present, as well as the old Qu, Yu, Gu Huai, Gu Feng and others all looked at Gu An in surprise, unable to believe that Gu An would educate his daughter like this.

Shouldn’t the daughter’s upbringing be all under the mother? Why did he, a father, come to him personally? He also taught that his daughter is not weaker than men, so where did he put himself and his son?

Shouldn’t your daughter tell her to keep her duty and take care of her husband and children in the future? How does he educate her completely differently from others?

Gu Yan, Gu Zhehan and Tang also looked at Gu An. Unexpectedly, he would take all his faults and responsibilities on him, attribute Gu Yan's current actions to his usual upbringing of Gu Yan, and leave both Gu Yan and Tang out.

Tang looked at Gu An with a smile, his inner satisfaction and joy were beyond words. Anyone could see that Tang was very satisfied with Gu An's all blame.

Gu Yan looked at Gu An with a complicated expression, and her heart was full of gratitude for Gu An. She knew that Gu An had brought all the blame to her. If someone talked about her again and used what she said today as an excuse to attack her, she would attack Gu An at the same time, saying that he was incompetent in teaching his daughter, which led to Gu Yan saying bold and arbitrary words that caused the family to suffer.

Everyone looked at Gu An and felt that he was so tall at this time. He did not hesitate to make a fortune for his daughter and ruined his reputation for his daughter. He was even at risk of being expelled from the family.

Gu An smiled and glanced at the expressions of the people around him, "Father, let's do it today. If you have anything to say, at least you have to wait until tomorrow's work is over before making a decision. But one thing I have to explain is that my daughter did nothing wrong. If you are afraid that what she does will cause the Hou Mansion, then divide our family. My daughter will not be able to stay in the family temple. As for copying Buddhist scriptures, this can be done. Anyway, Yan'er also has to practice calligraphy every day, just copy it."

Gu An said that, he waved his hand indifferently and asked Gu Shuyu to make a decision.

Gu Shuyu knew that what happened today was like this. If Gu An was forced to get rid of his clan in anger, it would be more than worth the loss.

When Old Qu heard Gu An say he wanted to split up, his eyes lit up, and then he saw Gu Shuyu fading away again. She knew that today's affairs could not be continued. With Gu An protecting him, Gu Shuyu was afraid and Gu Yan's affairs were over.

This good opportunity disappeared like this. Old Qu was very depressed inside. Five clan elders were even more depressed than her. Gu An was so confused that he didn't say a word and left slowly without saying a word. The clan elders were so angry that they didn't want to care anymore.

The five clan elders left, and Gu An's family also left. After they left, the entire Rong'antang was so quiet that no one dared to speak. He said that even Gu Rui was spoiled in front of the old Qu clan, he did not dare to speak out, and felt that his grandfather and grandmother looked terrible.

Gu Shuyu sighed deeply, "That's it. If there is anything, I'll talk about it tomorrow. If Xiaojiu wins, the matter will be over. Her reputation will be widely circulated outside. If she loses,..., Alas! Let's talk about it, let's see it tomorrow."

Gu Shuyu still didn't make up his mind to separate Gu An's family. He felt that the future of the Hou Mansion in the future would depend on Gu An. Although he could not be accredited, if he was in one day, no one would dare to touch the Gu family. Unless the Gu family was committed suicide and had to jump into the pit, the Gu family would not fall, and the Hou family would not fall.

Gu Shuyu thought about it for a long time and felt that it was fine if he did this, so he prepared to get up and go to the study room in the front yard.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say."

The old Qu's voice made Gu Shuyu stop and looked back at Qu's in confusion.

Old Qu didn't say anything after calling Gu Shuyu for a long time, thinking about how to tell her husband, her hesitation made Gu Shuyu puzzled.

"There's something else?"

Gu Shuyu couldn't help asking, and the others looked at Qu and waited for her to talk about the matter.

Old Qu made up his mind, but she was a little scared, so she didn't dare to look at Gu Shuyu's eyes, and her eyes dodged.

"You, or you'll get the title, that,..."

Old Qu thought about it again, and closed his eyes and said, "Or why not pass the title to Huai'er."

Old Qu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief after saying that, no matter what the consequences were, she had said anything, and even if Gu Shuyu was so angry that she would not do anything to her.

Everyone in the room looked at Old Qu in surprise, and was afraid that Gu Shuyu would be angry, so they turned to look at him. They found that their father was not as angry as they thought, and they felt relieved.

Old Qu said what he wanted to say and started talking nonsense.

"Actually, I didn't want Huai'er to be promoted so early and wanted to wait a few years before talking about it. But now things have changed, I can only bring up this matter. Mr. Hou, the second son is a concubine's son, but now he is a bigger official than you. This is not a good thing. If he continues to do so for a long time, he will be very troubled. Now he has a high position and is deeply favored by the emperor. If he feels dissatisfied and ruins the title, our losses will be great.

There is also Brother Han. The emperor appointed him as General Dingyuan. No one knows what this means. But General Dingyuan has always been the legitimate position of General Dingyuan. Now he has given him a illegitimate son and a son. We have to be careful.

You have also seen what happened today. We just wanted to send Gu Yan to the second son of the family temple and tried every possible way to maintain it. He refused to take a step back and threatened you with a threat. This is a traitor! Why did he do this? It’s not that he has a high status and has the ability to be so arrogant.

If Huai'er had two people in Chengjue's mansion earlier, he would have been able to suppress his second son, so he would be honest so that he would not have any wrong thoughts and do things that were unconventional."

After saying that, Old Qu glanced at Gu Shuyu carefully. Seeing that he turned his back to her and did not speak, he looked at Gu Huai who was sitting beside him, and winked him.

Gu Huai shook his head secretly at Qu, glanced at Gu Shuyu again, and saw that he had no expression on his face, as if he was thinking about Old Qu's words, and he felt half relieved.

He didn't expect that his mother would ask his father to accept the title as soon as possible today. He thought he had been in the position of the title for a while. He couldn't help but feel secretly surprised when he heard his mother say it, but he didn't dare to show it, and honestly lowered his head and didn't speak.

The atmosphere inside the room was a little tense, and they were all waiting for Gu Shuyu's reply.

The handkerchief in Gu Rui's hand was about to be broken, and her nervous breathing was about to stop. She stared at Gu Shuyu with wide eyes, not wanting to miss his answer.

Gu Wenhua is also very nervous.

Today, after he returned from Wu'an Hou Mansion, he returned to his study in the front yard. He came to Rong'an Hall after learning that the five clans had come. He sat in the daytime until now. Unexpectedly, his good grandmother would give him an unexpected surprise at this time.

As long as his father receives the title, he can become the prince. He is one step closer to that position, and he doesn't have to wait for the imperial examination to find a job in the yamen. At that time, he can also be proud in front of his friends.

It can be said that the Dingyuan Hou Mansion has begun to decline by Gu Huai's generation. Gu Huai still has some thoughts to spend time in the officialdom, but he lacks ability and really cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility. It is difficult for even guarding the Dingyuan Hou Mansion. This is why Gu Shuyu has been reluctant to hand over the Hou Mansion to him. He wants to train him for a few more years.

By Gu Wenhua's generation, the Hou Mansion in Dingyuan can be said to be in decline. Gu Wenhua has not yet reached the point of being a playboy, but it is almost the same as that. It is not that he doesn't want to be a playboy, but that he can't get into a playboy. There are many people in the capital who are higher than him and can play. Gu Wenhua is really nothing, because he is not as famous as a prince of the Hou Mansion, and he is in danger of being replaced at any time.

Gu Feng looked at Gu Huai and Gu Wenhua's excited expressions coldly, and his heart turned to scan the old Qu.

This is his mother who loves him the most, but now she wants to help his elder brother as the waiter. Has she never thought about him? His stupid elder brother is simply unbearable. He has been an official for more than 20 years and still has nothing to do, but he has reached the sixth rank and then made him reach the seventh rank. It's really stupid.

Even so, she still wanted to put him on the position of Hou Master, wouldn’t she be afraid that the entire Hou Mansion would be destroyed in his hands?

Gu Shuyu stood for a quarter of an hour, but his slightly thin body was straight at this time, and he had a certain majesty of his ancestors. It was this back that slowed down everyone's breathing in the house, and he did not dare to make any movement at this time to disturb him.

"Okay, I agree. When this matter happens, I will write a letter to the emperor and ask the eldest son Chengjue to let the third son come back for the Chinese New Year. Let's divide the family as we still have the tone, so as not to have conflicts between their brothers in the future."

Gu Shuyu closed his eyes and sighed secretly, but agreed.

Gu Shuyu's voice was difficult, and there was no way to express helplessness and sadness in his words, and there was a hint of regret and powerlessness. His hoarse voice echoed in the hall, shocking people.

Having agreed? I still have to split up? What an unexpected surprise!

Everyone looked at Gu Shuyu's back as he left with confusion, and it was exciting for a moment.

After the position of Hou Mansion Master, Gu Huai finally smiled with satisfaction, glanced at Gu Feng proudly, and bowed to the old Qu family.

"Thank you, mother."

Old Qu was not as happy as he imagined. For some reason, she felt a little sad at this time, so she waved her hand and asked everyone to retreat. With the help of Cui's mother and Qiu's mother, she returned to the inner room.

Gu Rui excitedly pulled Yu back to the courtyard. After congratulating Yu on becoming Mrs. Hou, she glanced proudly at Baifangyuan.

Humph! From now on, she will be the legitimate daughter of Dingyuan Hou, and her identity has been raised. The damn Gu Yan can no longer show off. If she wants to suppress her, she must have the confidence! So what about the county lord? If there are too many county lords, do you really think that she is a royal family?

Also excited, Gu Wenhua returned to his yard and hugged his legitimate wife Gao and entered the room. The two of them had to rest until midnight. The next day, Gao almost got out of bed, which made Gu Wenhua's concubines laugh for a long time.

Gu Shuyu returned to his study room in the front yard, sat upright on the chair behind the desk, quietly looking at an old locust tree in the yard, feeling extremely entangled and regretful.
