The entire room fell silent.

Tu Shi, who had been feeling hot, suddenly felt cold all over and her vision blurred. "Guan Yingying, you wretched woman, what have you done to your child?"

Because she was accompanying Xie Zhaozhao to watch the initiation ceremony, Madam Xie was also on the high platform, where she could see everything below.

She asked calmly, "Ying'er, go down and see what's going on?"

Ying'er responded and immediately ran downstairs. After a while, she came back up, looked at Xie Zhaozhao, and hesitated to speak.

Madam Xie then said to Xie Zhaozhao, "Zhaozhao, go and rest for a while, I'll go see what's wrong?"

Xie Zhaozhao nodded and went downstairs with Manman.

Manman whispered to her, "Miss, I just went down to check... Gu Yuebai said that his biological father is Prince Gu."

Xie Zhaozhao remained expressionless, thinking to himself that he was indeed his biological father!

"What did the Crown Prince's wife say?"

Upon hearing Xie Zhaozhao's words, Manman knew that the eldest young lady did not intend to interfere. Ever since being framed and hurt by the second young lady time and time again, the eldest young lady no longer even called the second young lady by her name, but instead called her "the young master's wife".

"What could she say? She was dumbfounded. It was quite embarrassing for her to stand there. They had only been married for a short time, and the prince's own son was already cursing in the street."

The two got off and walked slowly. Xie Xiangxiang, with her keen eyes, spotted them but didn't argue with Gu Chengyan and Tu Shi. She quickly squeezed out of the crowd and headed out of the Xie residence.

Xie Zhaozhao had no intention of mocking her. In fact, deep down, Xie Zhaozhao sympathized with her because she seemed to see her past self, who had been completely deceived by Gu Chengyan.

"You should investigate this thoroughly..." Xie Zhaozhao suggested. "Grandmother is here; she will help you."

"Help me? You guys?"

Xie Xiangxiang originally wanted to stay as far away as possible, but when Xie Zhaozhao said that, she thought of Ying'er blocking the second gate, and her eyes immediately turned red.

Her disheveled appearance vanished, replaced by a venomous glint in her eyes. She paused, her voice sharp and menacing. "Were you doing this on purpose?"

"What?"

"Did you already know all along?" Xie Xiangxiang hated her to the core. "Xie Zhaozhao, were you also reborn? Did you know everything? Were you just watching me like a fool?"

"Lady, have you lost your mind? Why don't you ask if what that child said is true? If it is true, you should take this opportunity to ask your grandmother to stand up for you! Are you so afraid of knowing the truth?"

No matter how much her grandmother disliked her, if she could sincerely repent, her grandmother would not stand by and watch the Xie family's daughter be humiliated by her husband's family.

Xie Xiangxiang said bitterly, "I don't need your kind reminder, none of you are good people!"

After saying that, she ran out quickly.

When Grand Secretary Liu presided over the first ceremony for a child's enlightenment, he encountered this situation and was furious. He pointed at Gu Chengyan and said, "Young Master Gu, I must impeach you. You have been married for less than half a year and have already raised such a grown child outside. You, you have simply disgraced the culture."

Tu was completely terrified. She was extremely regretful. She should have just come with Xie Xiangxiang instead of Gu Chengyan!

The father and son look so alike, and no matter how much they pretend, the natural father-son affection between them is obvious to anyone who has been through it.

Grand Master Sun was furious, saying that Gu Chengyan had ruined the entire enlightenment ceremony and was demonstrating to everyone what dishonesty and impropriety meant!

Today, the Xie family has invited many academic luminaries, including the three Grand Secretaries of the court: the First Grand Secretary, the Second Grand Secretary, and the Chancellor. Who else can hold such a grand elementary school ceremony?

Everything was ruined by this tainted Prince Gu.

“I’m going to impeach you,” said Grand Master Sun angrily.

However, they are not in a hurry to scold him now. The most important thing is to continue with the next steps, otherwise today's ceremony will be completely ruined.

Gu Yuebai saw everyone cursing his father and wanted to curse back, but so many adults seemed very powerful, and he couldn't win the argument!

He tugged at the teacher's robe and said, "My father has already given you money and gifts. He's given you so many things. Why are you cursing my father? We're all born of the same parents. Why should you be considered superior?"

Master Qingqiu was so angry that he trembled all over. He took back all the six gifts of respect that Gu Chengyan had submitted and shouted to Old Qin, "Expel him! Mengxi Academy will never accept this boy again!"

Sun Jijiu was also furious and said, "Logically, I shouldn't argue with a child, but a child's character is formed by age three and will be mature by age seven. Putting aside everything else, I will definitely not accept this child into the Imperial Academy in the future."

Zhang Family Vast Academy: "This academy will not accept this child!"

Luming Academy: "This academy will not accept this child!"

Moxiang Academy: "This academy will not accept this child!"

...

All the private school teachers present remembered Gu Yuebai's face.

Tu was both shocked and furious, but even more afraid that others would investigate.

When she saw Xie Zhaozhao present, and remembered what her mother-in-law had said about her third brother and his wife being in the Xie residence, she made a quick decision: she would postpone the start of her education for another two years and leave immediately, leaving behind the circle of discussion.

Madam Xie did not want to ruin the entire enlightenment ceremony, so she said calmly to Madam Tu, "I'm free this afternoon, so I'll go to the mansion to visit the old lady."

Gu Yuebai was alarmed and asked Gu Chengyan, "Father, why don't they like Bai Bai?"

He doesn't understand where he went wrong.

Gu Chengyan kept telling him to use the surname Tu, then to call him "father," then to say he was surnamed Tu at the Marquis's residence, then to say he was surnamed Gu at the school. Gu Yuebai was completely confused. "Am I surnamed Gu or Tu? Should I call you 'father' or 'uncle'?"

In contrast to Tu Shi's panic, Gu Chengyan calmed down after his initial shock and smiled as he said to Gu Yuebai, "Bai Bai is right, it's all... Uncle's fault!"
