Chapter 217 Conflict within the Gu family

at the same time,

A fierce confrontation is also taking place in the Ninghou Mansion.

The two sides facing off are Gu Tingye and the rest of the Gu family!
People headed by Gu Tingyu and other members of the Gu family believed that Gu Tingye had behaved inappropriately and had bad moral character!

Gu Tingye was so angry that Gu Yankai was dying, so from now on, no one would let Gu Tingye enter the house to visit Gu Yankai again!

Gu Tingye was naturally unhappy. Although he could not refute these statements, it was absolutely impossible not to allow him to visit his father!

The two sides were going back and forth and arguing non-stop,
Seeing that Gu Tingye was about to use brute force to break in,

Xiao Qin walked out of the room at this time and yelled at everyone:
"Stop arguing! The Marquis needs to rest now. How unbecoming of you to make such a fuss!"

Xiao Qin is the head lady of the Hou Mansion, and she has some prestige. Naturally, everyone is a bit disrespectful, so when they heard her scolding, they all stopped arguing!
When Gu Tingye saw his mother coming forward to stop the conflict, he thought that Xiao Qin was talking to him. He couldn't help but show a bit of joy on his face, and he walked forward two steps excitedly:
"Mom, they stopped me from seeing my father! How is my father doing now? I want to go in and see him!"

As he said that, he was about to go past Xiao Qin's family and go in!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qin said directly and coldly:
"stop……!"

Mother Xiang, who was inseparable from Xiao Qin, also stood in front of Gu Tingye at the right time, blocking Gu Tingye's way! Don't let Gu Tingye enter the house!

Gu Tingye was suddenly stunned, and turned to look at Xiao Qin with some confusion.

"Mother, why is this? Do you even want to stop me?"

"Why? Why do you still have the nerve?"

As Xiao Qin spoke, his expression suddenly changed, and then he raised his hand and slapped Gu Tingye in the face! Then he looked at Gu Tingye with smart eyes, as if looking at an enemy.
"You beast! Haven't you hurt your father enough? Why are you asking me? If it hadn't been for the trouble! How could your father be like this now..."

"Now I only hate that I was too arrogant towards you and made you lawless now! The Marquis ended up like this... I will not make the same mistake again and again!"

"Let me tell you, your father doesn't want to see you, and I will never allow you to step into the door again! Unless I die...!"

Although Gu Tingyu was still coughing and breathing heavily, and looked as skinny as a stick and sickly, he still stood resolutely with Xiao Qin.
His eyes were so wide that they almost bulged out, but he still glared at Gu Tingye fiercely,
"It's all because of you that my father is like this! Not only do you not repent now, but you also make a lot of noise and disturb my father's purity! What are your intentions?"

The old man and his wife in the fourth room and the old man and his wife in the fifth room also stood together with Gu Tingyu and Xiao Qin. They looked at Gu Tingye and alternately said sarcastically:
"Did you hear that? It's your father who doesn't want to see you! Look at all the things you've done. Do you still have the nerve to go in and see your elder brother?"

"That's right, the elder brother is dying now. He doesn't want to see you, yet you still want to break in. I think you want the elder brother to die early!"

"Our Gu family has been really unlucky for eight lifetimes. How come we have a scum like you! What a disobedient and unfilial person!"

"That is, if I were you and made my father so angry, I would have jumped into the Bian River long ago without the dignity to stand here!"

"Yes, he is so thick-skinned. How could there be such a person in our Gu family..."

"Get out of here yourself!"

In the eyes of the fourth and fifth families, who are both direct descendants of the Gu family, Gu Tingye's maternal family was a servant of a merchant, and Gu Tingye's existence is simply a shame to their Gu family! Defiled the noble blood of the Gu family!
Therefore, they have always looked down upon Gu Tingye, and are happy to cooperate with Xiao Qin and Gu Tingyu to exclude Gu Tingye!
Gu Tingye listened to these people's words, but had no reaction.
As if being slapped by Xiao Qin, he looked at Xiao Qin blankly.
He didn't expect that his mother, who had always loved him so much, would say such things and even slap him!

And the eyes are so strange and fierce!
But soon, Gu Tingye came to his senses and began to blame himself, thinking that it was because he had mistakenly believed Zhu Manniang that his father, Gu Yankai, was so angry.
So I don’t have the confidence to argue with everyone anymore.

"Mother, then take good care of your father..."

After saying that, he lowered his head, turned around and left in despair!
When the old man from the fourth house and the old man from the fifth house saw this, they immediately laughed in disgust and said:
"It goes without saying that my sister-in-law will take care of my eldest brother! Leave quickly, staying here is an eyesore!"

"That's right, if you weren't here, brother might be able to live for two more days. You are here just to cause trouble for brother!"

Seeing Gu Tingye being obedient and not daring to go inside anymore, Xiao Qin's eyes flashed with joy!
It seems that this little beast really thinks that he has made his father angry to death!

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so obedient!

She felt much relieved, but the expression on Xiao Qin's face still showed a little bit of unbearability. In the end, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief and started crying!

Naturally, everyone applauded again.
Gu Tingye also felt even more guilty, and then left quickly without the shame to stay here!
……

Mo Lan had been standing cautiously in the corner without making a sound.
She came here with Gu Tingye to visit her father-in-law just now, but she didn't expect to see such a scene!
She was so frightened at this moment that it could be said that it subverted her own cognition.
I didn't expect that the second son of the Gu family, who looked so proud in his eyes, would behave like this in the Gu family and be ostracized by the whole family!

At this time, a woman's status comes from her man. Gu Tingye became the target of everyone's crusade.

Of course, Mo Lan couldn't be angry!

Now seeing his own officials being driven away, Melanand was a little confused and didn't know whether to leave or stay!
The wife of the fifth house was used to following the wind. When she found that Mo Lan was still far away, she immediately mocked:
"Younger's family, your husband has left, why are you still here? Don't you know that husbands and wives can do as they please? What kind of upbringing does this Sheng family have? Such a lack of sense of humor!"

Xiao Qin was not ready to be exposed at this moment, so she waved her hand to stop the wife of the fifth room.

"Brothers and sisters! Don't talk nonsense! Tingye has nothing to do with his wife!"

As he spoke, Xiao Qin stepped forward, took Mo Lan's hand, and said in a gentle tone:
"My child, I am angry with Tingye and it has nothing to do with you! Don't stay here anymore, go and see your official...! He needs you right now..."

Hearing this, Mo Lan felt as if she had been granted amnesty, and gratefully bowed to Xiao Qin.
"Thank you mother, my daughter-in-law will obey her instructions!"

After saying that, he hurriedly bowed to the others and chased Gu Tingye away!
At this time, the Fourth Old Master walked up to Xiao Qin, looked at Mo Lan’s back with some disdain, and said:
"Sister-in-law, why are you so polite to that girl? She is just a concubine. Talking to her like this is disrespectful to you!"

The Fifth Grandpa said the same thing, he looked down on Mo Lan who was born as a concubine.
"That's right, sister-in-law, you are just too polite to these people, so you let these people kick you in the face!"

Xiao Qin smiled and did not explain. Maintaining the persona of a loving mother might be useful in the future! After all, although Gu Tingye feels guilty at the moment, everything has not settled yet.
After thinking about it, he still couldn't let Gu Tingye come into contact with Gu Yankai, so Xiao Qin turned around and looked at Gu Tingyu and the two masters of the fourth and fifth houses and ordered:
"Master Marquis needs to rest here, and he must not be disturbed by outsiders again! You have worked so hard these past few days!"

Naturally, this outsider refers to Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingyu expressed his unshirkable responsibility, and the two gentlemen with four and five bedrooms also patted their chests and made guarantees! Gu Tingye will never be allowed to step into this courtyard!

Upon seeing this, Xiao Qin nodded with satisfaction, gave some instructions, and prepared to go into the house to take care of Yankai!

At this moment, a servant ran in. Seeing so many masters in the courtyard, he quickly saluted:
"The eldest lady, the eldest son, and the two lords and ladies! The second master of the British Duke's house and the eldest son of the Yongyi Marquis are here to visit! They said they heard that the Marquis is sick and come here to visit!"

Xiao Qin and Gu Tingyu frowned when they looked at each other.
Gu Yankai couldn't see outsiders at this time. If he said something he shouldn't have said, that would be bad!

The two gentlemen with four and five bedrooms looked a little proud when they heard this. They felt that their family still played an important role in Bianjing City. As soon as it was reported that the eldest brother was ill, the British Duke and the Yongyi Marquis came to visit him so quickly at the same time!

The old man in the fourth room changed his eyes at this time, thinking that this was a good opportunity to make friends with powerful people. Now that the eldest brother is dead, it is his duty to step forward as the eldest in the Marquis House. He might get the support of the two powerful people, Ning Yuanhou. He still has a chance to inherit some of the forces left by the government.

So he coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and volunteered:
"Since people are here to visit eldest brother, we can't be rude. Sister-in-law, you and Yu'er have to take care of eldest brother. It's better for me to deal with them!"

With that said, he was ready to walk out!

The old man in the fifth room didn't react at first, but after being stabbed twice in the back by his wife, he reacted and immediately stopped the old man in the fourth room.
"Oh, fourth brother, it's me who should go! I have a good relationship with the second master of the Zhang family, and talking about it is cheap, so I should go!"

The old man from the fourth room was immediately unhappy.

"Oh, fifth brother, why are you causing trouble at this time? I am your fourth brother! Now that the eldest brother cannot see guests, it is natural that I should go! Just stay there and don't cause trouble!"

"Why do you mean I'm causing trouble? It's not convenient for my eldest brother now, why can't I, my younger brother, help me out?"

"Huh, kindhearted? Not necessarily?"

The two of them started arguing about who was going to meet the guests outside!
The daughters-in-law of the two families are no less generous. Just now they were unanimous in dealing with the outside world, but now they seem to be divided!

Xiao Qin's head was dizzy when she saw it. She could obviously tell what the two families were thinking, but it wasn't that she looked down on these two people. It was just that these two people with four or five houses were useless except for causing trouble. They also wanted to inherit the Hou family. The power of the government is just a dream,

Xiao Qin was a little impatient when he heard the noise, so he picked up the tea cup handed to his mother and threw it on the ground!

"Snapped"

A crisp sound finally woke up several people in the two rooms!

Xiao Qin stared at everyone and shouted as if he was cutting through the mess with a sharp knife:
"What are you arguing about? Can I rest assured that you are going to meet the guests from the two houses like this? Besides, although Lord Marquis fell ill, Ting Yu is still here! Ting Yu, go! Treat the guests from the two houses well. Let’s just say that Mr. Hou is dying and can’t see outsiders!”

The fourth old man and the fifth old man looked at each other and snorted coldly at each other! I'm not refuting, as long as the other party doesn't come forward! This way no one suffers!

Gu Tingyu quickly accepted the order and left!

……

Let’s talk about Molan again.

After she ran back to her yard, she found that Gu Tingye had picked up the whole jar of wine and started drinking it.
That looks as decadent as it sounds!

Mo Lan expressed some kind words of concern, but Gu Tingye ignored him and only focused on drinking alone, even scolding Mo Lan to leave him alone!
Mo Lan didn't really like Gu Tingye in the first place, she just liked the power of the Gu family.

Now that I saw Gu Tingye's real situation, I immediately became disgusted and disappointed with Gu Tingye!
I started to have other ideas in my mind, but I was still a little undecided!
Thinking that Gu Tingye didn't need to take care of him at this moment anyway, Gu Yan wouldn't let him take care of him no matter where he was!

Mo Lan then secretly slipped out from the corner door, got on the carriage and headed towards Jiying Lane!

It seems that he is planning to consult Lin Jinshuang, the strategist!
……

Xu Wenhui and Zhang Kai waited for a while in the Gu family's living room.

When they saw Gu Tingyu coming in, being supported by a servant, they all stood up immediately to say hello!

After the three of them sat down again,
Zhang Kai looked at Gu Tingyu and asked:
"My dear nephew, how is your father now? Can we go and visit him?"

Gu Tingyu sighed, shook his head with a gloomy face and said:

"Uncle Shi, please forgive me. My father is in a coma for a long time now. Even if he wakes up occasionally, he can hardly speak. The doctor means that it is best not to be disturbed by outsiders... Just watch..."

Zhang Kai hesitated upon hearing this. According to his and Xu Wenhui's ideas,

If Gu Yankai is sane, it would be best to see Gu Yankai.
By then, with Gu Yankai’s instructions, things will be easy to arrange!

But judging by Gu Tingyu's words, it was obvious that he didn't want anyone to visit him! However, Zhang Kai thought about the seriousness of the matter and couldn't help but said again:
"Good nephew, it's best for us to meet your father. You are a smart man. The current situation is tense and there is no room for mistakes. There are some things that we must talk to your father in person!"

Gu Tingyu still shook his head,
"Uncle Shi, it's not my nephew who doesn't like me. It's really my father who can't stand any stimulation right now. And based on his current situation, I guess it's useless for you to see him, Uncle Shi!

Otherwise, so be it, Uncle Shi! If you have anything, you can tell me. I will look back at the situation and see if I can talk to my father..."

When Zhang Kai heard what Gu Tingyu said, he was helpless. Gu Tingyu said it was so serious. If he really insisted on meeting Gu Yankai and something happened, he wouldn't want to be responsible!
Zhang Kai had no choice but to look at Xu Wenhui, wanting to see if Xu Wenhui had anything to say! (End of chapter)
