When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 20 Leaving the Clan
These people have no intention of curbing their old-age tendencies. When open robbery fails, they resort to threats. Gu Hua is not going to indulge them any more.

Get close to your cousin and whisper something in his ear.

Gu Chen's face changed dramatically as he was scolded in public before he even finished listening to what she said.

Meeting Gu Hua's determined gaze, Gu Chen glanced at the clan members, led by his third great uncle and fifth great uncle, who were all waiting to laugh at the joke of their fourth and sixth branches.

He gritted his teeth, walked past his father Gu Jiqing, and whispered in his grandfather's ear.

After hearing this, the old man turned his head and looked at him in disbelief, with an expression that said, "Grandson, are you serious?", which almost made Gu Hua next to him laugh out loud.

“Ahem… ugh!” After some hesitation, Fourth Grandpa came over and lowered his voice amid the curious gazes of others, “Gu Hua, Gu Chen, our fourth and sixth branches have always had few descendants.

For several generations, there has been only one son. Once you make this decision, you two will have a heavy burden to raise children in the future."

Gu Hua's family knows their own business, and she has more than one secret in her belly. She patted her chest confidently and said, "Fourth Grandpa, I will work hard to ensure that I can complete the task beyond the target."

The old man looked at his grandson, as if he would not agree to what the two proposed unless he made his attitude clear and made a promise.

"Grandfather, I haven't married yet." Gu Chen held his forehead helplessly, "Isn't it a bit early to talk about this now?"

"What's so early? You little brat. If you don't promise to give me a few more great-grandchildren today, I'll make trouble with you today." The usually honest and dull old man said stubbornly and persistently about his desire to have many children and grandchildren.

Gu Chen was threatened by his cousin's eyes and gave in. "Okay, okay, I promise to work hard, isn't that enough?"

"Old Four, what are you guys talking about?" the fifth uncle said angrily, "Do you think we are serious?!"

"They are going to exterminate us," Gu Hua said, "Why should we still pamper you and put you in their eyes? Do you deserve it?"

"How dare you," the old uncle's wrinkled face trembled with anger. "Well, well, since you are so unruly and don't accept the clan's discipline, I will make the decision today."

"Please produce the family tree and remove Gu Hua, the unfilial descendant of the sixth house, from the family tree. From now on, she will no longer exist in the Gu family."

When the third uncle saw that Gu Hua did not panic because of the old uncle's words, he knelt down and begged for mercy, and took the initiative to hand over the family business to the clan for management, his old eyes full of calculation flashed.

He turned his head and looked at his fifth uncle, whom he usually used as a gun, but this brainless firecracker just looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Finally, the Third Uncle had to take the lead, and said righteously, "The Sixth Branch of the Gu Family's business was built up by relying on the power of the family, otherwise it would have been suppressed by other families long ago.

Even if Gu Hua is expelled from the clan, all the property of the Gu family cannot be taken away."

Originally, other members of the clan thought that since Gu Hua had been expelled from their family business, they would not be able to covet it anymore.

The promise by the third and fifth houses to bring everyone here to put pressure on her today and take over the management of the Gu Mansion's properties from her also fell through with their promise to give them a share of the profits.

But I didn't expect that the situation would take a turn for the better, and Third Uncle would say something that seemed reasonable on the surface, but was actually a form of robbery.

If they didn't have common interests with him, most people here would probably look at him with disdain.

At least, Gu Hua and Gu Chen, who were cousins ​​in public, couldn't help but roll their eyes in tacit understanding.

"Who said we want to exterminate the clan?" The fourth grandfather, who was poked in the back by his grandson, stood up and said, "We want to voluntarily leave the Gu family, set up a new clan, and rebuild the family tree."

"You, you, you, what did you say?" The old uncle was shocked and thought he was hard of hearing and must have heard it wrong.

The Third Uncle, the Fifth Uncle and everyone present thought that whether it was Gu Hua or the Fourth Family who came after hearing the news, they would eventually give in and hand over the Gu Mansion's property to the clan for management. No one had expected that the two families would make this decision after whispering to each other.

"Why...why has it come to this?" The old uncle regretted that he was asked to take care of this matter today just for the benefits given by the third and fifth rooms.

He thought that it would be an easy task to intimidate a young member of the clan, but he did not expect that things would develop to this point.

Third Uncle said with a gloomy face, "Although the clan members have the right to propose the establishment of a separate branch, you must think it through.

If you don't have a family to rely on, no matter where you live or what position you hold, you will be bullied by those who are stronger than you. It won't be easy to come back then."

Gu Jiqing: "Hua'er, how about..."

Gu Hua saw that his fourth grandfather and his uncle were a little hesitant, so he immediately said, "If the family business is handed over, both you and I will have to live on the backs of others. If you are willing, I will hand over this family business that my grandfather and father worked so hard to earn."

"Dad, Grandfather, I don't want to live my life under the influence of others." Gu Chen spoke at the right time to express his thoughts.

Gu Hua understood that leaving the family and establishing a new branch was no small matter for the old man, so he said firmly: "Trust me, I will definitely support our fourth and sixth branches and my cousins."

Gu Chen felt a little guilty. At this moment, he didn't think he had the ability to support a family.

However, human potential is unlimited. After being exploited by Gu Hua, he, who originally lacked confidence, felt that he was strong enough to hold up a mountain after being persuaded by his cousin.

"Old Four, Jiqing, you can't be so confused!" The third uncle's eyes darkened, as if kindly reminding: "Young people don't know the importance of the situation, you can't let them do whatever they want."

After all, they are not scholars and have to consider their reputation. They dare not leave the clan easily for fear that they will be criticized and it will be detrimental to their career.

Merchants are rich, but their status has not been high throughout the dynasties. One of the reasons is that secular rules and regulations have little restraint on them.

Just like Gu Hua and the fourth branch want to set up a new clan branch, as long as they are not afraid of being bullied and can support themselves after leaving the clan, they cannot stop them.

The impatient and irritable Fifth Uncle did not appreciate Third Uncle's attempt to appease Fourth House and Gu Hua, and said disdainfully and domineeringly: "You can leave the clan if you want, but just hand over the family business and get out."

Gu Hua didn't want to get entangled with these people anymore, and said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "It's not against the imperial decree for us to leave the clan, right?

The imperial court has not stipulated that those who leave the clan must surrender their family property, so do you still want to rob them openly..."

Seeing Gu Hua, who used to do whatever they said, dared to talk to him like this, the fifth uncle raised his big hand angrily and was about to hit her in the face, "You little brat, you want to be beaten."

"Old Five, how dare you!"

"My cousin."

"…cousin."

"Little Boss!!"

As everyone exclaimed...

"Ah..." Just as he raised his hand to slap Gu Hua's fifth uncle, he felt a cold and stinging pain passing through his palm, and blood gradually rolled from the palm of his hand to the ground.
