When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy
Chapter 21: The Lion Opens His Mouth
Chapter 21: The Lion Opens His Mouth
"Who is it?" Fifth Uncle stared at Gu Hua with bloodshot and gloomy eyes, "Is it you?"
Gu Hua glanced at a drop of water slowly rolling down from the carved wooden pillar in the hall, and a barely noticeable sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.
The ice needle that he had forged with his supernatural powers could even pierce through a zombie's skull, but it only pierced his palm. Gu Hua felt that it was too good for the old man.
Aren’t you trying to seize the Gu family’s property by force?
Gu Hua glanced at his third uncle who had recovered from his final shock and smiled coldly. It depends on whether they have the ability to do so.
No matter who is the mastermind behind the attempt to embezzle the Gu Mansion's property, she will start with the fifth room today to prevent them from still thinking of her as the weak and vulnerable original owner.
They can control it as they please.
Gu Hua's aura was fully released at this time, making everyone present tremble in their hearts. His voice was very cold, filled with chilliness, "Am I giving you too much face?"
"Gu Hua, what are you talking about?" Uncle Gu glanced at his cousin's bloody palm with a sinister look in his eyes, "Tell me clearly, did you injure your fifth uncle's palm with a hidden weapon?"
It was no secret that Gu Hua had learned self-defense kung fu from a martial arts master hired by the mansion when she was young. Just now, Fifth Uncle was shot through the palm because he wanted to hit her, so Third Uncle's question was a reasonable suspicion.
"You saw my cousin hitting someone with a hidden weapon." Gu Chen, contrary to his usual calm and honest demeanor, said arrogantly, "Maybe God can't stand some people being so arrogant in other people's homes, so he let him suffer."
Gu Hua: “…” Cousin, please don’t ruin your character.
Su Fuying shook the beauty folding fan in her hand and nodded, agreeing, "I think so too."
Originally, because it was an internal matter of the Gu family, he stood outside under the eaves to avoid suspicion.
However, after hearing how these old guys in the Gu family were pressing Gu Hua hard, and that it had finally escalated to the point of attacking her, Su Fuying, who had once been favored by Gu's mother, no longer avoided suspicion and stood beside Gu Hua.
Fourth Grandfather Gu Mingdong said woodenly: "Old Fifth, you were the first to hit someone. Your palm was injured for no reason. Who can you blame?"
Gu Jiqing: "My father is right."
"You...you are rebelling."
Uncle Gu is closely related to the third and fifth branches by blood, and he also knows some things that other people are not very clear about.
He is the father of Gu Mingdong, the fourth branch of the Gu family, and Gu Mingnan, the sixth branch. He is also the great-grandfather of Gu Chen and Gu Hua. He was brought back by their great-grandfather after he was away for three years.
At that time, it was said that he had a child born outside his marriage, but rumors still circulated among the Gu family that their great-grandfather had a shady background.
Otherwise, at his age, he would not have been easily asked by the people from the third and fifth rooms to intimidate Gu Hua into handing over the family business.
"Third brother, fifth brother, stop talking nonsense to them." The old man stared at Gu Hua and the people from the fourth room with his deep-set eyes.
"If they don't want to break away from our clan and form a new sect, then it's not convenient for us to stop them."
An old voice, sharp and dark.
People who listen have ear pain.
"Old uncle, how can that be possible?" Gu Jisheng said dissatisfiedly when he didn't get what he wanted.
Third uncle's eldest son Gu Jisheng, who supported his grandfather, and other Gu clan members also disagreed with letting Gu Hua and the fourth branch leave the family so easily without gaining any benefits.
After hearing what his great-uncle said, Gu Hua didn't think that the matter would end so easily.
Sure enough, when she saw her third uncle, who was always good at calculating, still sitting there as steady as a rock, she knew that this old uncle might have something else to say.
"but……"
Gu Huayang raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was coming. The old uncle narrowed his eyes and said, "Your branch has left the clan, but the tablets of your father and grandfather can no longer be worshipped by the descendants of other clansmen, and their graves can no longer remain in the ancestral tomb."
Fourth Grandfather Gu Mingdong's old face was twisted with sadness. If it weren't for the death of his cousin Gu Jichang and his wife who supported the two families, their two families would have been constantly suppressed by the clan for the past three years.
Now the third and fifth sons are trying to seize their nephew's family property. He will never follow his two grandchildren in making trouble and asking to leave the clan.
Fourth Grandfather said helplessly and sadly, "We'll find a yin and yang master later and choose a good Feng Shui location to move the deceased ancestors out of the ancestral tomb. Old uncle, do you think this is feasible?"
The old uncle and the third uncle looked at each other, their eyes revealing a bit of sinister complacency.
"Of course you can, but if you want us to agree to move the graves of your ancestors, you must give the tribe a sum of money as compensation."
Gu Hua knew that the ancestral tomb belonging to their branch must be moved, otherwise Fourth Grandfather would not agree to leave this cold and indifferent family.
Gu Hua felt that things that could be solved with money were not a big deal. "How much silver do you want as compensation?"
The old uncle narrowed his eyes and didn't speak.
A hint of hesitation flashed across Third Uncle's eyes.
He originally wanted to take over all the businesses of the six branches of the Gu family, so that the shops they subsequently ran would gradually go into deficit and eventually become his family's assets.
Now it seems impossible, but Third Uncle is unwilling to take advantage of this opportunity to take a piece of the Gu family meat, "Two hundred thousand taels."
Everyone gasped, two hundred thousand taels was indeed a lot of money.
There are rumors outside that the Gu family is about to go bankrupt.
More than a dozen shops in other counties had been sold, and the remaining shops were either empty and had no money to buy goods, or were struggling to survive with inferior goods. At this time, Gu Hua was asked to take out 200,000 taels...
"not much."
Third Uncle and all the members of the Gu family who wanted to get a piece of the pie smiled and looked at Gu Hua with a look of kindness but also as if they were looking at an enemy.
Gu Hua smoothed his wide sleeves, his face unchanged, "But, I didn't."
The sudden reversal made everyone's smiles stop.
"Puchi." Facing the dissatisfied eyes of his tribesmen, Gu Chen said that normally he would not laugh, unless he really could not hold it back.
The Third Uncle finally took off his hypocritical mask and said viciously: "Gu Hua, I don't care whether you have it or not.
If you dare not give me this money, I will have people dig up the graves of your elders and throw them in a mass grave, and I will not let you move away smoothly. "
"Gu Laosan, how dare you!!!" Hearing his third uncle utter such arrogant words, he said he would dig up the graves of his father and grandfather... and their branch and throw them into a mass grave.
Even the honest and dull Fourth Grandfather Gu Mingdong was gasping for breath due to anger. If his son Gu Jiqing had not quickly grabbed him, he would have been unable to restrain himself and pounced on the Third Uncle to fight with him.
Let’s not talk about whether Gu Hua can afford the 200,000 taels of silver at this moment.
But there is no principle of giving others as much as they ask for.
However, she also knew in her heart that the amount she gave was too little. These people who wanted to swallow up the Gu family's property might really do what her third uncle had just said.
"Fifty thousand taels."
