The guests didn't know what was going on. Gu Yuan was talking and laughing just now, but why did he suddenly turn against each other?

Everyone looked at each other and felt something was wrong.

Mrs. Gu's smile froze on the corners of her lips.

"..." Gu Xiao's expression was even worse than Mrs. Gu, and her lips were stubbornly pursed into a straight line. What does this mean by Brother?!

"Gu Yuan!" Mrs. Gu raised her voice and called her name directly.

However, Gu Yuan did not stop and walked out as if he had no news.

The servants guarding outside the hall did not dare to stop Gu Yuan at all. After all, everyone in the mansion now knew that the eldest master was the one who could pull the five stone bow.

Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth, showed an apologetic smile to the guests, and said, "It's rude."

Then, he stood up resolutely, chased after him, shouting: "Brother Yuan!"

Mrs. Gu ran forward in two steps, and caught up with Gu Yuan under a sycamore tree in the courtyard outside the hall. She asked with a little anger: "What are you going to do?"

She tried hard to lower her voice, feeling like a ray of light on her back. Even if she didn't look, she could feel the curious eyes in the hall projecting on them.

Gu Yuan finally stopped, turned half of his face, and looked down at Mrs. Gu, who was half a head shorter than him from above. The golden sunlight shone through the sparse branches and leaves above, outlining his elegant side face lines.

"Grandma wants me to support my second brother." Gu Yuan said incisively.

After Gu Yuan told him his thoughts, Mrs. Gu did not deny it, and smiled lightly: "Brother Yuan, you are cousins, it is appropriate to support each other and help each other."

"It should be?" Gu Yuan also smiled.

This is what the family should have done. Mrs. Gu raised her chin with a mighty look, looking as if she was taken for granted.

"Someone wants to ruin my future and want me to repay my grudges with kindness. Grandma, I look so stupid?" Gu Yuan's tone was colder and sharper.

What was Gu Yuan hinting about?! Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Yuan in surprise.

Without waiting for Mrs. Gu to speak, Gu Yuan changed his subject and said, "I heard that the eldest prince likes all kinds of weapons very much. I plan to take the rhinoceros horn bow for your highness to enjoy."

Gu Yuan put the threat directly on the table.

"..." Mrs. Gu's eyes glared and her face turned blue in an instant.

Mrs. Gu didn't know about Gu Jian's tampering with the bowstring of the rhinoceros horn bow at first, but later Gu Jian accidentally let him go and Mrs. Gu asked, and then he learned about it.

Mrs. Gu certainly couldn't admit it. Gu said, "Brother Yuan, I'll have someone go to send a message to your second sister this morning. You can keep this bow for a few days and wait until you have enough fun before returning it."

Gu Yuan stared at Mrs. Gu in a steady state, and Hei Chenchen's eyes were so sharp that it seemed to see through her heart.

When the last trace of expectation was broken, his mind was surprisingly clear and calm, as if the traveler who had been trekking for a long time finally walked out of the fog.

"Brother Yuan, what do you want?!" Mrs. Gu tried to hold Gu Yuan's hand, but Gu Yuan quickly took a step back half a step, turned sideways, gently avoiding her, and brushed her sleeves less than half an inch from her fingertips.

The eyes of the grandparents and grandchildren met in the air, as if they were having a bloodless battle.

Gu Yuan's party expressed his intention calmly: "I want that rhinoceros horn bow."

This rhinoceros horn bow symbolizes the glory of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion. Since the bow is in his hands, he will not hand it over again.

"..." Mrs. Gu's pupils twitched slightly, and her right hand held the string of Buddhist beads in her wide cuffs, as if she didn't know the young man in front of her, no, the young man anymore.

Gu Yuan's heart is like a mirror, and he is as motionless as a mountain.

Just now when he was in the hall, he seemed to be enlightened, and suddenly he understood a lot of things from the attitudes of those uncles.

For many people, he got the job of Luanyiwei. From the mansion to the outside, there would be people who would come to curry favor with him and cling to him.

He is no longer the dispensable eldest son of the Gu family, he is the Luan Yiwei Pacification envoy who was close to the emperor.

To him, it was like a weapon.

He can use this weapon to achieve what he wants to do.

Last night, my sister took the bow for him, and the first step had already taken. So, he should speak and face the next thing himself.

He is his elder brother, so he can't rely on his younger sister to stand up for him in everything.

My sister is right. This rhinoceros horn bow should belong to him.

At the beginning, my father pulled out the rhinoceros horn bow at the age of sixteen, and my grandfather gave it to my father.

He is a child of the Gu family. Today he can pull this bow, so the bow is his.

Gu Yuan slowly said to Mrs. Gu: "Emperor Taizu said that a good bow is covered with dust and a talent is not met, which is a regret in life; a good bow is given to a hero, and those who can do it will live."

When Emperor Taizu gave the bow to his great-grandfather Gu Qin, he said this, meaning that this good bow should be given to those who can use it, rather than covering dust in the box.

"The second uncle hid the Liang bow and kept it covered with dust, which was not the 'powerful'."

Gu Yuan was extremely sharp every word, as if he had stabbed Mrs. Gu in the heart.

After saying that, he left without any nostalgia.

"..." Mrs. Gu's face turned red and silent.

This time, she didn't chase after her again.

She stared blankly at Gu Yuan's back as tall as a green bamboo. She was dazed in front of her eyes. There seemed to be a surging in her old eyes and was about to break through. A little anger, a little suspicion, a little uneasiness, a little powerlessness...more tiredness.

Her body shook for a moment, and her feet slowly moved two steps, and her steps were shaking.

"Madam, be careful." Madam Li, who was standing beside him, quickly supported Madam Gu.

The sunny day after the snow is even colder and the wind is biting.

The howling cold wind was like a wild beast roaring in the demonstration, lingering.

"He..." Suddenly, Mrs. Gu asked in a hoarse voice, "Can you know, right?"

I learned that her father Gu Ce was not born.

The branches and leaves of the sycamore trees above the head swayed with yellow leaves and the cold wind. A few rays of sunlight cast mottled light and shadow on Mrs. Gu's face through the gaps, which made her expression a little gloomy, obscure, and a little irritable.

The "rustling" sound echoed in the courtyard.

Madam Li looked around alertly, and confirmed that there were no one around, then whispered: "Madam, don't think too much."

Even the old Marquis Gu Ce himself didn't know about this, so how could Gu Yuan know about it?

"..." Mrs. Gu looked straight in the direction where Gu Yuan left without blinking, and her turbid and red eyes seemed to be about to be engraved with his figure.

Madam Li gently stroked Mrs. Gu's arm and continued to persuade: "Besides, even the Gu family's ancestral hall has no longer had the tablet of 'her', and it is impossible for the eldest master to know."

As he said that, Madam Li's voice became even lower, and only their master and servant could hear it in the howling cold wind.

Mrs. Gu seemed to murmured to herself: "I raised Ace with my own hands, treated him as my own, carefully educated him, and watched him marry and have children... Even the title of the Marquis' Mansion was inherited by him, just asking Ajian to be a rich and idle person."

"I believe that I am sorry to Asce... and I am sorry to elder sister. I am worthy of my guilt."

Mrs. Gu's eyes slowly moved upwards and looked up at the blue sky, as if these words were said to some old friends.

"Madam Grandma said it." Madam Li nodded with deep consent, "Madam Grandma, you have not been easy for you over the years."

What she said came from the heart.

After pausing, Madam Li said again: "Besides, so many years have passed, the elderly in Xizhou have long been gone, and no one has mentioned the 'that thing' anymore."

"Madam, please be content with peace of mind, it is absolutely impossible for the eldest master to know."

Another biting cold wind blew, and it penetrated into Mama Li's neck like a knife, making her cold unconsciously shrink her neck.

"Besides, even if the eldest master knows, what position does he have to blame you? It is the eldest lady that you raised the old marquis with your own hands, and the kindness of marquis is greater than the kindness of marquis."

Mrs. Gu still stood motionless under the tree, her chest fluctuating, and it seemed that there were two forces fighting and colliding in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, she said again: "But I always feel that Brother Yuan treats me no more than before..." It seems to be guarding against her, as if she has something to blame for her...resentment to Ai.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu held the string of Buddhist beads in her hand tightly and almost crushed it.

In the past, Gu Yuan was not like this.

Madam Li hesitated for a moment and reminded him: "Madam, the eldest son probably knows about the comment yesterday...the eldest son should have known about it. Could it be that because of this, you are bothered?"

Mrs. Gu's face froze, she stroked her sleeves lightly, and said lightly: "I'm doing this for his own good."

"This child has been stubborn since he was a child and did not listen to the advice of his elders. I asked him to study literature and tried to find him the best academy in the capital. He insisted on abandoning literature and following the military, and insisted on entering the army with the reputation of the son of a criminal minister."

"As long as he is in the army for one day, there will always be someone talking about his father's surrender to the enemy, and this matter will never be overcome."

Madam Li hurriedly comforted: "The eldest young master is young and he eats more rice than salt you eat. I don't understand your hard work."

Listening to Mama Li's soft words, Mrs. Gu also felt it was helpful and her expression was slightly relaxed.

She seemed to have remembered the guests in the hall at this moment, looked at them, and said, "Forget it, it's better not to mention the past."

"He has now entered Luanyi Guard. This is a good job. He doesn't have to go to the battlefield and can be in front of the emperor."

Even if the errands in front of the emperor are not of high quality, they can still be seen by others.

Gu Yuan's future will be bright in the future.

Mrs. Gu sighed again and whispered: "Brother Yuan has a hope for his future. Even if I go to the nine springs in the future, I will be worthy of the old marquis."

She looked at the western sky again, her eyes were deep, and her heart had experienced many ups and downs, and was as stable as a rock.

That's right, the Hou's Mansion did not owe Gu Yuan.

She didn't owe Gu Yuan either.
