Chapter 410 Noisy

As expected, my younger sister is still a bit slow on the uptake, but that's fine too, because that way she'll never know my secret thoughts.

"Alright, let's go home! I'm sure Mom and Dad are waiting for us."

It's already dinnertime, and Gu Shuyan hasn't come home yet, so her family is naturally worried.

The brother and sister, hand in hand, had just entered the dining hall when a maidservant rushed over.

"Young Master and Young Miss, something terrible has happened! Something has happened to the Old Madam."

Gu Shuyan recognized the maid at a glance; she was a third-class maid in the old lady's courtyard.

"What happened?"

Although she was worried, Gu Shuyan maintained a calm demeanor.

"It's the Second Master and Second Madam causing a scene in the Old Madam's courtyard."

Second Master Gu and Second Madam Gu have only been married for a few days and should be enjoying their honeymoon. Why did they suddenly start making a scene in the old lady's courtyard?

Gu Renjie was puzzled, so he immediately had the maid lead the way while he followed Gu Shuyan toward Yunxiang Courtyard.

"Brother, I'm afraid that the trouble that Uncle and Aunt are causing in Grandmother's courtyard is about the division of the family property between the eldest and second branches."

Looking at Gu Renjie's expression, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but offer a reminder.

After all, something that could cause such a commotion between the two of them must not be a trivial matter. And recently, the two of them have been enjoying a blissful time together. Apart from the matter of dividing the family property, Gu Shuyan couldn't think of anything else that could cause them to quarrel in the old lady's courtyard at this time.

Why the sudden decision to separate the family?

Gu Renjie turned his gaze to Gu Shuyan; he knew his sister must know something.

After hearing this, Gu Shuyan did not hide anything and told Gu Renjie about the plans she had made with her grandmother.

After hearing this, Gu Renjie didn't offer much comment, but simply quickened his pace.

Second Master Gu is a reckless and unruly person. If he really doesn't want to separate the family, and then does something outrageous in the old lady's courtyard, causing his grandmother to fall ill, what will happen then?

The two walked forward together and soon arrived at Yunxiang Courtyard.

As soon as they reached the door, the two heard a series of ghostly wails and howls. The owner of these howls was none other than Master Gu himself.

"Father! Please open your eyes and see! What sins have I committed? How could the second master of a noble family be so humiliated?"

The mournful cries of Master Gu made Gu Renjie's brows furrow even more deeply.

This is hardly something a man from a large family should do; even an ordinary person wouldn't act this way.

A grown man, standing seven feet tall, was wailing and beating his chest. I really don't know what sins the ancestors of the Gu family committed to produce such a useless and unfilial descendant.

"Is Second Uncle planning to completely disgrace the Marquis's mansion?"

Gu Renjie's face was grim and his gaze serious. He had never taken this second uncle seriously from beginning to end. In his eyes, the Second Master Gu was nothing more than a parasite living in the Marquis's mansion, who had never done anything beneficial to He Fu except for taking money from the mansion every day.

How can you teach someone like that to respect you?

"What kind of talk is that!" Master Gu looked at Gu Renjie with displeasure in his eyes. How dare a junior speak to him so sternly.

Even when it's his older brother speaking to him, he has to be careful about his words. On the contrary, his nephew's face never looks pleasant whenever he sees him.

"Father, please open your eyes! Even my nephew dares to bully me now. What status do I have left in this family?"

Master Gu was unhappy, and his expression became even more like that of a shrew from the streets, as he started howling again.

"Second Uncle is right, you have never had any status in this family."

Gu Shuyan also found the orphan's behavior extremely distasteful. How could a grown man be without hands or feet? He relied on his older brother for everything, and now he even came to his grandmother's courtyard. This was truly a blow to his grandmother's heart.

Master Gu is really serious now. He never expected that even his niece would dare to treat him like this.

Looking back at everyone in the room, Second Master Gu finally fixed his gaze on his eldest brother, Gu Jin.

"This is the good daughter my eldest brother raised? So utterly disrespectful! Is this how my eldest brother sees us from the second branch of the family?"

Master Gu wanted to continue wailing, but for some reason, under the gaze of his niece, he swallowed back the wailing that was on the tip of his tongue.

“Now that Miss has married into a higher social class and has someone to back her up, she naturally doesn’t respect us uncles and aunts. But Miss, don’t forget that no matter how well you marry, you are still a member of the Marquis’s family.”

He Yin had always disliked Gu Shuyan's attitude, his indifferent and aloof demeanor towards everything, as if everything she had tried so hard to fight for was insignificant in his eyes.

A sense of frustration welled up inside her, and He Yin, disregarding the current situation, directly addressed Gu Shuyan, saying everything she wanted to say.

Gu Shuyan glanced indifferently at He Yin's face. This woman really thought she was the mistress of this manor after just a few days.

Gu Shuyan took a step forward and looked at the shameless couple. She asked, "If Second Uncle and Second Aunt are here to make Grandmother unhappy, then don't blame your niece for having you kicked out."

After Gu Shuyan finished speaking, the old ladies' maids and servants in the old lady's courtyard, including several people around Ji Shi, all came up, looking as if they wanted to drive her away.

"My niece has really developed a temper these days!" Second Master Gu said, whether in praise or criticism, before turning his gaze to Gu Jin. "Brother, I won't beat around the bush. I'm definitely not going to divide this family. You can decide for yourselves!"

Master Gu acted as if he were a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, leaving everyone present speechless.

Just then, the old lady, who had not shown herself until now, finally stepped forward.

“You promised to divide this family, which is why I let you marry this wife. Now, I only had someone tell you, and you’ve already made a scene. So today, this family really has to be divided.”

The old lady had a scarf wrapped around her head, and it seemed she was uncomfortable.

Upon seeing this, Gu Shuyan immediately went to the front to help support the old lady.

"Grandmother, don't worry about this. Go back and rest."

Gu Shuyan really didn't want the old lady to cause trouble. What she wanted was for the family to be harmonious and happy, not for the family to be in such a mess and ruin the old lady's health. Who would be responsible if she got sick?
