Old Qu glared at Gu Yan with gritted teeth, but he had no way to do anything to her, and the room suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation.

Gu An smiled and lowered his head to drink tea. When he didn't hear anything, Tang simply closed his eyes and rested. Anyway, she was in poor health and no one could pick anything. As for Gu Zhehan, he also squinted his eyes and hugged his arms and rested, not caring about what Gu Yan said.

Old Qu finally found his voice after holding it in a while, "Jiu Meitu is really joking. Grandma is telling you a joke. How can you take it seriously? Okay, I won't mention this anymore, it's all over. Let's talk about the mistakes you made a few days ago.

Gu Yan, you ignore the rules of the Hou Mansion and the future of the mansion and make decisions without authorization. Now everyone in the capital is talking about this matter, which has caused the Hou Mansion to be attacked in words and damaged the reputation of the Hou Mansion. Everyone in the Hou Mansion has been pointed at. Don’t you deny this matter?"

Gu Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at Old Qu and said, "I'm telling the truth. I don't like the existence of concubines. Although I will not suppress them, nor will I force everyone to not take concubines, but my husband will never allow concubines. In addition, I have also proved my point of view with facts. Women are not worse than men. Didn't I defeat them? Do I have any questions?"

"No, you have strong abilities and are very good in all aspects, but because of you, several girls in the mansion are pointed at by others, and you can't even lift them up when you go out. You say that the girls in our Hou family have a high vision and look down on the children of those aristocratic families. You also say that the girls in our Hou family have outstanding abilities, but they are not worthy of being clan wives. Do you know what this means?"

"I don't know what it means, but I know that the girls in our waiting family either don't marry, and if they get married, they will marry into a comfortable family, at least they won't serve a husband with a group of concubines."

Gu Yan was stunned when she said this and it took her a long time to react.

That's right, with Gu Yan's shocking words in front of him, everyone in the capital knew Gu Yan's thoughts. If Gu Yan said this, does it mean that all the girls in Dingyuan Hou Mansion think so? Gu Yan is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is good at riding and shooting, and can also calculate such a girl. She knows it, so do you know it, so do you know the other girls in Dingyuan Hou Mansion? It doesn't take a plenary session. As long as you can catch up with Gu Yan, it's okay! If that's the case, it's okay to marry home and not take a concubine. As long as you can give birth to a son, she's the only one in the backyard!

Gu Rui's eyes lit up, and finally looked at Gu Yan with a pleasant look. She smiled unconsciously, but forgot that she did not have any ability in Gu Yan. If she really didn't let her husband take a concubine like Gu Yan, she would probably throw her out of her husband's house in disgust within two years.

Gu Yu and his concubines who were about to marry were also happy. Thinking of a husband who would wholeheartedly treat them in the future, they all smiled shyly, and Gu Yan was puzzled.

Are these children sick? What are you thinking about and laughing so lewdly? You can’t think of something after getting married? How old are they? But they are so far away from their thirteenth and fourteen years old, so they are too precocious? They were still a junior high school student in their previous life!

Gu Yan forgot that she was only thirteen years old, one year younger than them, but she had already told her husband that she would not be allowed to take concubines and was more precocious than them.

Old Qu was retaliated again, and was so frustrated that he thought about it and said, "In short, you are determined to do whatever you want to do without regard to the reputation of the Hou Mansion, which almost hurt the entire Hou Mansion. If you don't punish you, you will not be enough to calm everyone's anger, nor will you be able to realize your mistakes. You have bad legs a few days ago. If these days are better, go to the ancestral hall to kneel down."

The old Qu family toughly disobeyed Gu Yan's words and asked Gu Yan to kneel down in the ancestral hall, which aroused the anger of Gu An and Tang. But before they could object, Gu Yan sneered: "Sorry, my legs are much better, but I can't kneel. The emperor said, "I can see the emperor and not kneel, and I can't kneel even if the emperor doesn't kneel. Who else can make me kneel? Ancestor? Haha, I think if the ancestors know my situation, I believe they can't bear to let me kneel down. Besides, if the emperor knows that I go to kneel down in the ancestral hall, then..."

Old Qu choked again and almost died of breath, but then he felt cold sweat all over, which scared her so much that she shivered.

Why did she forget that the emperor issued an order? Gu Yan didn't have to kneel down with anyone. She didn't even have to kneel down, but asked her to kneel down to his ancestors. This means that the ancestors of their Gu family are more noble than the emperor? Isn't this sending the head to the emperor and letting him kill?

Old Qu broke out in a cold sweat and never dared to speak again. He stared at Gu Yan's eyes with horror.

This damn girl is very sharp-tongued, and she blocked everything she said in a few words. How old is she so powerful? What if she grows up in the future?

Just look at her indifferent look, you know that she is very capable. If she offended her, then their family will have a good life?

Thinking of Gu Yan's strength in the competition, her outstanding ability, and the martial arts of the two girls behind her, Old Qu became timid again.

What if Gu Yan gets angry and makes people deal with her regardless of the consequences, there is really nothing around her that can fight against her, pointing at her, begging her for a good heart, or can Gu An plead with her with fame? Don't think about these two things, I'm afraid they can't wait to kill her.

Old Qu thought about it carefully and developed a little fear of Gu Yan. His eyes flashed slightly, and he lowered his head and stopped talking. However, his frowning brow told Gu Yan that her cheap grandmother was not so easy to compromise.

Gu Shuyu watched the play for a long time, and after the old Qu surrendered, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It's a fool who can't even deal with a child, and he still wants to deal with Gu An? It's just a daydream.

He didn't know what happened on the battlefield, but Gu An could stay safe in the border for eight years and still rise to such a level. Can he be a mediocre? Their family had just returned to the capital less than a month ago. Not only Gu Yan's shocking words, but also Gu An took action to rectify the Ministry of Revenue and several prefectures and counties from the capital to the border, and uprooted the corrupt officials who embezzled the army. Although it was not confirmed how many people were implicated, the number of people would definitely not be small.

Those greedy silver finally entered the treasury and the emperor's pocket. How could the emperor not treat him well? He is so scheming, can these idiots in his family deal with him?

Thinking of this, Gu Shuyu closed his eyes.

Forget it, let's do it as he originally wanted. He has been thinking about leaving Gu An in the mansion these days, but now it seems that there is no hope.

Gu Shuyu sighed long, "Oh! Forget it, Jiu Yatou has also added glory to the Hou Mansion. Now no one in the capital knows that Gu Yan, Miss Jiu in Dingyuan Hou Mansion, is extraordinary and has outstanding talent. She can immediately determine the world and the lower housekeeper's talent. She is a rare candidate for a wife. Rui Yatou and others also benefit. There is no need to kneel down in the ancestral hall, so she should be confined and copy some Buddhist scriptures and calm down."

No matter how domineering the old Qu family is, he dare not violate Gu Shuyu's decision. Although she is strong, she also knows that the Hou family still needs to support her. Without her husband's support, the Hou family will only lose.

The current situation is not good for her, so she can only take a step back and plan for the future.

Old Qu quickly figured it out, and then raised his head proudly to look at Gu Yan.

"Since your grandfather pleaded for you, then that's it. You're confined to your home. You won't be allowed to go out without my permission."

Gu Yan nodded indifferently, without saying a word.

Seeing that she compromised, Old Qu breathed a sigh of relief and talked about Gu Huai Chengjue again.

"Tomorrow your father will write a letter to the emperor and ask the eldest son Chengjue. In the near future, our mansion will hold a banquet to celebrate this. You all prepare for it. Girl Yan will not come out. Stay in your own yard and don't come out."

Gu Yan raised her eyes and glanced at Old Qu, silently lowered her head and ignored her.

What does Gu Huai Chengjue have to do with her? The Hou Mansion has nothing to do with her, so she won’t go out to socialize with others! Annoying!

Seeing that no one objected, Old Qu was unwilling to see Gu An's family again, so he waved his hand to let everyone retreat.

Gu An's family of four ignored the eyes of the crowd and stepped out of Rong'an Hall first. The four returned to Baifang Garden in a harmonious manner. As soon as they arrived in the garden, the faces of the four people changed, and they were gloomy and terrifying.

Mother Zhao was frightened by the face of the four family who were best with, so she quickly left the house and stood at the door to guard herself so that their family could speak with peace of mind.

"This old woman actually wants Yan'er to kneel in the ancestral hall. She wants Yan'er's legs!"

Gu Zhehan slapped the table and circled around the room in anger.

Tang sneered, "Haha, she knew that Yan'er could not kneel down but still asked her to kneel to the ancestral hall. It was obvious that she was not kind-hearted. Fortunately, Yan'er was smart and let her avoid it."

Gu An's eyes were so cold that it made people tremble, and his words were even more ruthless.

"The emperor doesn't let Yan'er kneel down. Why should she? Even the ancestors have to see if Yan'er can kneel down? I really make me angry, so I will go and sue the emperor. At that time, the mansion will annoy the emperor. Humph, if I want to die, I will fulfill them and want us to suffer, so let's accompany us."

Gu Zhehan narrowed his eyes and said, "Hmph, a group of idiots who don't know what they are, dad, are they really our relatives? Why are they all so stupid? It's really hard to believe it."

"It's simply lowering our IQ."

Gu Yan quietly picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea. Gu Zhehan exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, that's what it means. This sentence describes it so well. It really lowers our IQ. If we were all like them, we would have died on the battlefield long ago, and we could still return to the capital with glory?"

"They are not stupid, but blind. They cannot see other people's strengths and advantages. They only see what they think. They deceive themselves and think that everyone is the same as them. Therefore, Dingyuan Hou Mansion is destined to go downhill and has long been doomed to decline."

Gu Yan took another sip of tea and glanced at Gu An.

Gu An thought about it and smiled, "It's better if the Hou Mansion is defeated, so as not to be unwilling to be unwilling to do so. When the title is taken back by the emperor, no one should worry about it. It's ridiculous that Gu Feng was still greedy for the title, but forgot that the one above was his elder brother, and forgot the foundation of the ancestor's starting lineup. Without force to suppress it, Dingyuan Hou Mansion was a joke."

"Dad wants a title?"

Gu Zhehan looked at Gu An in confusion, not knowing his father's thoughts.

Gu An shook his head, "I can't think of the title. No matter how much the emperor attaches importance to me, I can't let me inherit the title. One is that the concubine's son cannot inherit the title, and the other is that he wants to take back the title. The founding four dukes, nine lords, twelve uncles, and now there are four dukes, but only Duke Zhenguo and Duke Wei Guogong are successors, but they cannot talk to their ancestors. Moreover, they have no one in literature and martial arts. Over the years, the Jiuhou has cut the house and the house has been searched, and there are still five left. The Twelve Body Mansion is even worse, with only five left, and two left behind the Houfu.

It is not unreasonable for the emperor to take back these titles. Although this dynasty does not stipulate a clear rank of titles, the rewards from the festival palace come from the old Nanliang. Every year, the things sent to these Duke Hou Mansions are a large amount of money, so it would be strange if the emperor was willing.

In recent years, a total of eleven titles have been recovered from the previous emperor to the emperor. The emperor must be clear about how much expenses it has saved in the palace, so he spared no effort to suppress the various guardians and the uncles' mansions, and wanted to recover several more titles.

But the emperor also knew that the remaining titles were not easy to accept, and now it was a great time to take back the title."

Gu Zhehan had a terrible head and realized it as soon as he thought about it. Gu Yan didn't care about these things at all. Tang was devoted to her husband and children and didn't care much about things in the court. At most, she would support her husband and children.

"Dad means that the emperor wants his father to take down the military power of the Fourth Duke's Mansion? Or a battle to fight for the throne?"

Gu Zhehan asked, and Gu An nodded.

"The emperor should mean that, but no one can tell the emperor's meaning, or the emperor may be waiting, waiting for each of the four families to have a commander of military power, so that no one dares to invade our Great Wei. Of course, these must be based on the loyalty of several families. If several families participate in the battle for the throne, the emperor will not be ruthless. I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to protect the military power in their hands again.

Not only that, since ancient times, the battle for the throne in every dynasty has allowed a large number of noble family officials to participate in it to strive for the merit of following the dragon, which has given the emperor a chance to recover his title smoothly. Every noble family official knows that there will be danger, but he is still deeply involved in it, just to leave more glory for future generations and descendants."

Gu Zhehan frowned, "The princes are old, and the emperor is old, so sooner or later there will be such a day. However, how did the emperor know that his father will not participate in the battle for the throne?"

Gu An smiled slightly, "The Emperor once gave me a hint that I also expressed my opinion, only loyal to the emperor and the royal family, and no matter what else he wants to be the emperor, I will be loyal to whoever he wants to be the emperor."

Gu Zhehan felt relieved when he heard this and breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'm relieved. It seems that the emperor will not let Yan'er marry a certain prince."

Gu An thought carefully and nodded, "Yes, I forgot this. Now it seems that Yan'er will not have the chance to marry into the royal family. This would be great. It would be great to compete with a group of women for the favor of a man and be locked up in the palace and unable to get out of it. It's too frustrating. It's better to be free outside the palace for a lifetime."
