When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy
Chapter 19 Gu Clan Attacks
Chapter 19 Gu Clan Attacks
The old man's eyes were filled with a layer of turbidity, which made people feel extremely heavy and depressed.
Gu Hua looked at the group of clansmen who came with bad intentions, and out of politeness he invited them into the hall and ordered the servants to serve tea.
After looking around at everyone, Gu Hua found that almost all the elders in the clan who had a say were there, except for the fourth branch of the family that was closest to his own bloodline.
He raised his head to look at the old man who was being supported by the eldest son of the third house and Gu Yuming of the fifth house and was sitting in the main seat in the Gu family hall. He bowed and performed the etiquette of a junior.
"My old uncle is well."
"Yeah." The old man glanced at Gu Hua, picked up the teacup and drank a cup, then replied lightly.
"..." He looked like he obviously disliked Gu Hua.
Gu Hua raised his eyebrows, wondering why there were so many people in ancient times who took advantage of their age and seniority.
Respect you, you are still an elder. If you want to take advantage of your seniority in front of her, sorry, she won't buy it.
"Gu Hua, do you know you are wrong?"
Gu Hua shifted his gaze to his fifth uncle, whose eyes were gloomy and irritable, and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart that such a person would be a waste of his talent if he was not used as a gun by his cousin, third uncle.
"Please tell me clearly, Fifth Uncle, where did I go wrong?" Gu Hua said indifferently.
The main point is to ask if you don’t know.
"How dare you ask? The Gu family's assets are almost ruined by you." The one who answered was Gu Yuming, who was anxious to show off. He looked at Gu Hua with contempt and said disdainfully, "You are such a loser, why don't you hand over the Gu family's assets to someone with ambition in the clan to manage."
Gu Hua looked at Gu Yuming, who was eager to show off, with sympathy. Few of the people from the fifth room had any brains. She hadn't yet settled the score with this guy for bribing a gangster to follow her last time, and this guy still dared to jump in front of her.
"Gu Hua, what do you say?" A hint of calculation flashed across Third Uncle's wrinkled eyes, and he asked at the right time.
"What?" Gu Hua sneered.
You can obviously rob it openly, but you still have to pretend to be a gentleman and ask.
If you ask me, will I agree to hand over the Gu family's property to you? You are dreaming.
"You are a prodigal son in our clan. After discussion among the clan elders, we have decided to take over the Gu Mansion's assets and help you manage them." Third Uncle narrowed his old eyes, hiding the greed in his eyes and stating the purpose of his visit. He said, "You have to pay this time even if you don't want to."
Gu Hua was eager to learn and asked seriously, "Third uncle, fifth uncle, all the elders in the clan, do you think these properties will change hands while being managed by others?"
These tacit words were exposed by Gu Hua in one sentence, leaving them no chance to cover up, and everyone started talking in shame and anger.
"Gu Hua, don't be ungrateful."
"That's right. Third Uncle kindly suggested that the clan help you manage your property, so that you wouldn't squander such a huge fortune. Not only did you not thank him, but you also said such disobedient words."
Gu Hua curled the corners of his mouth in a sneer.
Don't think that just because you are in number and have loud voices, what you say is reasonable.
Did these people think she was a fool and couldn't see that they were all close relatives of the third and fifth branches?
“Yes, yes, you are all right.” Gu Hua: “That… I’m talking about you, Uncle Gu.
It seems that your family used to have seven or eight shops, but now, less than two years after your only son took over, only one or two are left, barely holding on.
He is such a spendthrift, why don't you hand over your shop to your clan to manage on your behalf?" "I...this...this..." Gu Laoba, who was named, was speechless for a moment because what Gu Hua said was all true.
It is true that asking others to hand over their property is something that can get some benefits just by talking, but if he is asked to hand over his own property, he will fight with others to the death.
"And the few people who just spoke out in favor of handing over the property to the clan, if I remember correctly, your sons and grandsons..."
Gu Hua said, "Isn't it good to be a good person? This group of people forced her to lose her temper!"
"How rude! This is your attitude towards your elders." An old man shouted from the main seat, "You are so rebellious and disobedient, and you talk back to the elders. Aren't you afraid of being expelled from the tribe?"
Gu Hua's expression paused.
Suddenly she understood that this uncle, the oldest living one in the Gu family, who was invited by the third and fifth branches to take charge, was invited out because they wanted to threaten her with expulsion from the family if she did not agree to hand over the family business today.
The ancients had a strong dependence and sense of belonging to their families. Returning to their roots, being buried in the ancestral tomb after death and enjoying offerings from future generations was their ultimate pursuit in life.
Gu Hua thought that the original owner might not want to be expelled from the clan.
But Gu Hua himself was unwilling to be controlled like this. If he compromised today, the Gu Mansion would probably be devoured by these insatiable jackals and tigers in the future.
The third uncle and the old uncle in the clan saw Gu Hua lowering his eyelids, as if he was intimidated by them. The two looked at each other, and a smug smile appeared on their wrinkled faces.
Just when the Gu clan members were feeling smug and thought that Gu Hua was under control.
Gu Hua suddenly raised her head and prepared to refuse being threatened, and then think of a way to avoid being expelled from the clan. After all, as a modern soul, she didn't care whether she had a family or not, but she felt that the original owner of this body must care.
But before she could say anything.
From the entrance of the hall came an honest man's courageous shout, "Do you think that there is no one left in my fourth and sixth rooms, and you can expel my clan just as you please?"
Gu Hua turned his head to look at his fourth grandfather Gu Mingdong, his uncle Gu Jiqing, his cousin Gu Chen, who walked in, as well as Su Fuying and the housekeeper Fu Bo who did not follow them in to avoid suspicion.
As soon as he was brought to the door by the housekeeper, he heard that someone wanted to exterminate the only descendant of his own brother in the sixth house. He was so angry that his beard stood up.
"Why don't we have to inform our fourth branch when something happens in the clan?" Fourth Grandpa, who was always honest, dull and taciturn, stared at Third Uncle and his gang and questioned.
If it weren't for Manager Su from the Gu family shop who came to Gu Hua to ask for something and learned that people from the Gu clan were forcing his nephew to hand over the family business, he would still be kept in the dark by these people.
"Old Four, who are you yelling at? Do you also want to be expelled from the clan?"
When Fourth Grandpa saw the oldest uncle in the Gu family sitting in the main seat in the hall, his neck shrank slightly and his eyes flickered. After all, respecting elders was engraved in the bones and blood of the ancients.
"Uncle, why did you come out today?"
"Hmph!" The old man's face wrinkled unhappily and he shouted sternly, "If I don't come out for a walk, you losers will do whatever you want.
When will our Gu family be able to restore the former glory of our ancestors and once again become a prominent family in Jiangzhou City? "
"The Gu family has been known as one of the four major families in Jiangzhou City since the generation of our great ancestor. It is not easy to restore the reputation." Gu Chen whispered.
"You bastard, you have no future. The Gu family is declining because of descendants like you who have no ambition."
When Gu Hua saw her cousin being scolded, her eyes turned cold. Protecting her son, she looked at the old man sitting upstairs who was becoming more and more arrogant and smiled coldly.
