Chapter 520 Gu Family
Gu Yanzhi did return to the Gu family. After all, it was the New Year and the Gu family was an old family, so none of their sons who were away from home could be left behind.
But compared to the joyous and harmonious atmosphere of the Fu family, the situation on the Gu family's side did not seem so good.
Old Master Gu looked at his disappointing eldest son, Gu Yanzhi, then glanced at Fang Qin and her two children, his expression still not looking good.
"Where is Ruolin? Why didn't you bring her back? She's been out for so long, haven't you had enough fun?" Old Master Gu looked at Gu Yanzhi and asked seriously.
Gu Yanzhi hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether he should tell others that he had a son who was wandering outside.
If he told her, the old man would definitely not let his grandson wander around outside and would send someone to bring him back.
Besides - the Gu family may seem prosperous on the surface, but the younger generations are getting worse and worse.
With the blessing of their ancestors, all the members of the Gu family enjoyed the fruits of the previous generation and were a bit disappointed.
Now Mr. Gu is not satisfied with any of his grandchildren.
Fang Qin's son Gu Jingyun was one of the more promising younger generations, and he was promoted very quickly in the army, but after all, his position was not legitimate.
After all, Mr. Gu's thoughts are feudal, so he naturally looks down on people like Fang Qin who are able to become mistresses and enter the house.
But the eldest son had no offspring, and Lan Ruolin was a disappointing person. After losing her son, she became crazy and her own son could not even enter her yard.
What Mr. Gu actually meant was that he wanted the two of them to have another child, which would also help ease Lan Ruolin's worries.
He had promised the Lan family that he would keep Lan Ruolin safe for the rest of her life.
But he really couldn't help anyone cure this mental illness.
To be honest, this marriage did not please either family, but the decision had been made and the Gu family had no choice.
In recent years, the Fang family has become more and more arrogant and domineering.
As for their Gu family, because the younger generations are becoming increasingly dim, in order to hide their brilliance, Grandpa Gu has always warned the younger generations to keep a low profile.
Thinking of this, Mr. Gu turned his gaze to Fang Qin.
"I heard that your brother Su Zhigang got into trouble when he went out with Ah Zhi this time?"
Even if Mr. Gu doesn't want to know this news, the Fang family will find ways to get it to his ears.
The Fang family is just like this. They have always wanted to gain some benefits from the Gu family and use them for their own benefit.
Mr. Gu is old, not stupid.
He could see clearly what the Fang family was thinking.
But there is no way. As a father, how can he not clean up the mess caused by his son?
Moreover, Gu Yanzhi is his first son, and he himself is the most capable among his sons.
In addition, Mr. Gu felt guilty for having secretly arranged a marriage for his eldest son and it ended up like this.
He thought his eldest son liked Fang Qin, so he had always been tolerant of the Fang family.
Seeing this, Second Madam Tan Danmei, who had always been at odds with Fang Qin, quickly responded, "That's right. I heard it was something like brain death? Right, Aunt Fang?"
In this family, Fang Qin has always been called aunt by the Fu family.
What is an aunt? Isn’t that the existence of a concubine? Not on the same level as the legal wife.
The Second Lady just couldn't stand Fang Qin's look of being treated as if she was wronged by everyone in the world, so she always pretended to be weak and frail to seduce men.
What’s important is that the two have a conflict of interest.
The Gu family’s account books have always been taken over by the people from the first house.
Now that Lan Ruolin is in such a crazy state, it is impossible for her to manage the accounts, so this good thing naturally fell into the hands of the second lady.
But later, Fang Qin somehow deceived Gu Yanzhi and asked Old Man Gu to let Fang Qin take Lan Ruolin to manage the account books, so this good thing was transferred from the Second Lady to Fang Qin's hands.
It's really funny that a concubine, second wife, mistress, and concubine actually manages the account books of such a big family.
The second wife went to find Lan Ruolin. She was also from a wealthy family and couldn't bear to see the mistress taking over, so she wanted to persuade Lan Ruolin to cheer up.
But Lan Ruolin didn't care about anything except her stolen child.
The Second Lady was so angry, but Mr. Gu was the most powerful man in the family, and no one dared to speak ill of him or express dissatisfaction in front of him.
So the Second Lady could only try to squeeze Fang Qin openly or secretly, but Fang Qin always managed to deduct money from the Second Wife's family, which made the Second Lady very angry.
That's how the two of them started to argue openly and secretly.
Fang Qin was born with a typical southern girl's face, with soft lines that seemed to have been soaked in the gentle breeze and drizzle of the Jiangnan water town.
Although she is now in her forties, time seems to be particularly kind to her and has not left too many traces on her face.
Especially when those beautiful eyes are slightly moist, they are like a pool of autumn water, with rippling waves.
Which man would not be confused when seeing a woman like this? No wonder Gu Yanzhi was so bewitched that his wife ignored him.
Vixen! The second wife cursed inwardly.
"What my second brother's wife said really made me sad. I didn't want to talk about this matter again." Fang Qin looked at the second lady with an aggrieved look.
If it wasn't the New Year now, the Second Lady would have cursed.
It wasn't her who brought it up, it was Mr. Gu who brought it up.
She is such a bad talker. She said that sentence too quickly and carelessly.
It was mainly because he was gloating. Fang Zhigang, relying on the reputation of the Gu family and his identity as the son of the Fang family, was extremely arrogant outside.
The second wife has been waiting for the day when Fang Zhigang will fall.
Unexpectedly, no one in Kyoto dared to offend him, but when he went out on a mission, he was made into a fool.
When the second wife heard the news, she almost laughed out loud.
"Father, Zhigang should sacrifice himself for Azhi's mission. He is now in a coma, and the family is trying their best to find someone to treat him." Fang Qin looked at Grandpa Gu again and said pitifully.
Old Master Gu was still somewhat moved. After all, the Fang family didn't have many sons, only two.
Now that something has happened to someone, the Gu family must compensate the other person no matter what.
"I believe that the position your brother applied for will be available soon." Mr. Gu picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and then said.
"Really? Thank you, Dad!" Fang Qin said with great surprise.
"Well, everyone should be happier during the New Year. Don't you understand that harmony brings wealth?"
After Mr. Gu finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the Second Madam, and it was obvious that he was a little dissatisfied with her targeting behavior just now.
The second wife just felt extremely aggrieved. This Fang Qin was really too cunning. It made her so angry.
Why is there no one who can help her deal with this illegitimate concubine?
