Chapter 338 The Disgusting Truth

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xuanyi looked at her father in disbelief. Even though her father's actions had already chilled her heart, now that he saw her being beaten, his first thought was not to seek justice for her, but to question what she had done wrong. It turned out that there was no limit to how chilling it could get.

Zhang was stunned for a moment, feeling that her husband had gone too far. No matter what Xuanyi had done wrong, her husband should not have hit her, much less have the intention to kill her. If it was a fight with her sister-in-law, then there would be some psychological comfort, at least it wasn't her husband who hit her, it was just a conflict between the two sisters-in-law.

Gu Jingsong and Madam Chen both frowned in unison. Who was the real child? Or was it that the elder brother only saw the benefits of marrying into the Marquis of Wu'an's family?

Even though she wasn't related to this granddaughter by blood, she had watched her grow up. She was furious and scolded her angrily, "Eldest son, even if Xuanyi did something wrong, no matter how angry the young master is, he can't lay a hand on her. If he can strangle her, he's trying to kill her."

Gu Jingsheng opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to refute. However, he was unwilling. If he didn't have a relative like Marquis Wu'an, could he find a better one? He didn't have the ability to pave the way for his sons. Having a good family background through marriage could help him a little. Otherwise, relying on his upright and honest third brother, who would never stoop to such things, it would be impossible for him to pull strings and secure a good future for his two sons.

Grandma Gu ignored him and spoke again to her eldest granddaughter, "Xuanyi, continue. If there's anything, your elders will take care of it for you."

Gu Xuanyi nodded and continued, "Actually, that beast had never hit me before and was quite nice to me. This time, he hit me by chance. I discovered his shameful secret. He... he was actually having an affair with two male actors, completely naked."

She never imagined that her beastly husband would have homosexual tendencies, and that he would even have three people with him, one actor behind the beast and another actor in front of him.

The beast was caught in the middle, being played with by the man and playing with the man at the same time. Now, when she thought of the scene she had seen and the ecstatic and pleasured expression on her husband's face when he was having an affair with the man, she felt nauseous.

She only knew before that the beast liked opera, so he kept actors to perform whenever he wanted. She never imagined it wasn't just for opera. She could accept her husband having a mistress, but she couldn't accept him keeping another man and having affairs with him.

Those present were shocked by Gu Xuanyi's words and quickly realized that the eldest son-in-law was having an affair with two male actors, which meant he had homosexual relations.

Some men are quite promiscuous, they can play with women and men, but that's with other people. If it's their son-in-law, that's unacceptable. They can accept their son-in-law taking concubines, after all, it's normal for men to have three or four wives, but they can't accept their son-in-law taking men. That would be a slap in the face to the Gu family. Their daughters aren't unable to get married, why would they marry such a scoundrel?

Zhang was also quite angry. Originally, she thought it was nothing for Xuanyi to be bullied by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law in her husband's family, after all, her husband treated Xuanyi well. She always thought that her husband was a good man that was hard to find even with a lantern.

However, after his initial shock, Gu Jingsheng began to weigh the pros and cons. The Marquis of Wu'an's family had wronged them, and perhaps they could use this debt to their advantage. So he said earnestly, "Xuanyi, you are the wife of the heir apparent. Those two entertainers are just for amusement. As long as you give birth to a legitimate son, your position will be secure. Why do you care who he's messing around with? Just raise the child and let him become the heir apparent and inherit the title."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuanyi was completely dumbfounded. She had originally held a sliver of hope that her father, knowing the truth, might stand by her side, but she never expected him to say such a thing.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Jingsheng also received disapproving and condemning glances from everyone.

Zhang scolded him even more: "Is what you're saying even human? How can you let Xuanyi continue to live with a person like that?"

Gu Xuanyi suddenly stood up and yelled at him, "Am I even your biological daughter? You know he's like this, yet you still want me to continue living with him? Did you pick me up from the roadside?"

Gu Jingsheng's face turned pale and then red as he was questioned. He replied, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course you are my biological daughter, but if we get divorced, can you guarantee that you will marry someone better than you are now? Besides, divorce is also a loss of face. He treated you quite well before. If you turn a blind eye, you can still live your life."

Madam Gu was so angry that her forehead throbbed. Although her eldest son was not clever enough and was easily instigated by Zhang, he was actually concerned about interests. He just didn't dare to do anything too outrageous to seek benefits. But Xuan Yi was her own daughter, and she was not soft-hearted when it came to using her. She could act recklessly because of her father's status.

She said in a deep voice, "Boss, the fault doesn't lie with Xuan Yi. We should argue our case to help Xuan Yi escape from the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, instead of sending her back to hell."

Gu Jingsheng hesitated and said, "But..."

Gu Jingxi made the final decision: "Brother, what does losing face matter? How can a girl from our Gu family tolerate such humiliation? He can beat Xuanyi now, but next time he might really kill her. In my opinion, we should let Xuanyi and her husband get a divorce. They are in the wrong for doing such a thing, so they will agree to the divorce."

Gu Jingsheng was a little intimidated by his younger brother. Seeing his third brother looking at him with a solemn face and sharp gaze, he felt a chill in his heart and dared not refute for a moment. He pretended to ponder for a moment and then said, "But what if we get divorced? Xuanyi is pregnant with the son-in-law's child now."

Gu Jingxi replied without hesitation, "If we have a child, then the Gu family will raise it ourselves. It's not like the Gu family can't afford to raise a child."

At this moment, Gu Xuanyi hurriedly said, "No children! There will absolutely be no children!"

Everyone looked at her with suspicion. How could she be so sure? But then again, if she was pregnant after being hit by her son-in-law, there was a 90% chance it would affect the fetus. And right now, Xuan Yi didn't look pregnant.

Gu Xuanyi stammered and added, "I...I am still a virgin."

Zhang was shocked: "What did you say?!"

The others were also shocked. They had been married for so long, yet she was still a virgin? If the son-in-law could sleep with men, it meant he was fine in that area. How come he hadn't touched Xuan Yi?

Gu Xuanyi glanced at her third uncle subconsciously, then lowered her head and whispered, "On our wedding night, he confessed to me that he was impotent, so we haven't consummated our marriage. He also said that since we don't have any children, we can adopt one later."

Zhang frowned, her tone quite agitated: "Xuanyi, how could you keep such a big thing a secret for him? Do you know that if you can't get pregnant, people will just think you can't have children? Even if you adopt a child, so what? You won't be able to hold your head up in your husband's family. Your mother-in-law will torment you even more, and all the rumors will be directed at you, while he will gain a reputation for loving his wife. If you hadn't discovered his dirty deeds, your whole life would have been ruined by him."

Gu Xuanyi froze, then suddenly realized what was happening, and once again shed tears of regret.

She was naive at the time and actually believed her husband's words, and even helped him cover it up, because she saw that her third uncle was also impotent, but he and her third aunt were very happy, and she felt that she and her husband could be like her third uncle and aunt.

But now it seems that she was foolish, she was wrong, she was truly wrong to give something worse than a beast.
