In a moment of panic, Zhou Derong rushed to him and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Godmother will definitely make Baoming apologize to the preliminary election. Please be magnanimous and forgive his ignorance. He's not a bad person at heart, he just made bad friends and was led astray!"
As she spoke, she tried to wink at her son, but Qin Baoming was too angry to listen to anything. At that moment, he was only thinking about how to use Gu Ziqi to teach this accomplice a lesson.
Gu Peichuan exclaimed "Oh!" and said, "So it was the self-proclaimed new crown prince of the second branch of the Gu family who led him astray. Gu Ziqing is indeed a scourge."
Qin Baoming was furious and immediately retorted, "Gu Ziqi, you are the rightful heir of the Gu family. As your brothers and friends, they dare to bully me in front of you. They don't respect you as the heir, nor do they consider your family to be the head of the aristocratic families. They are simply challenging the authority of the second branch of the Gu family."
Gu Ziqi, concerned for Qin Baoming's reputation, would naturally stand up for him. "Why apologize? With me protecting you, who dares to do anything to you unless they're tired of living? Since Sheng Chuxuan and Gu Peichuan are already engaged in a military marriage, why not just let Gu Wanwan marry you? Her face is much prettier than that tomboy Sheng Chuxuan."
Qin Baoming had just noticed Gu Wanwan's beauty and suddenly thought the idea was good. "Alright, although Gu Wanwan has been kicked out of the Gu family, she is still a daughter of the Gu family, so I will reluctantly accept her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Granny Qin and Zhou Derong looked horrified. "No, he's talking nonsense... Comrade Gu Ziqi, if you're not going to help with the calculations, don't screw us over! Is Princess Gu someone we can lay a finger on?"
"Trying your hands on my wife?" Fu Jingchen scoffed. "The second branch of the Gu family and the Qin family, you've got guts!"
Gu Wanwan lazily walked up to the other person and slapped him against the wall. "Another one trying to ruin a military marriage, Gu Ziqi and Qin Baoming. If you want to die, I can grant your wish!"
Old Master Cheng and Old Master Sheng have always disliked the second branch of the family, and they didn't give him any face at all. "Young Master Gu, who do you think you are? Your second branch has no blood relation with Brother Gu."
"Why do the other five great families refuse to accept the second branch of the Gu family? Do you think we don't know the despicable things the second branch has done? The biggest mistake the Gu couple made in their lives was that they were too soft-hearted to adopt a thankless adopted son."
"In the past, Old Gu and his wife took care of your father and didn't want your second wife to feel inferior. They concealed your father's background and treated him as family. But what about your second wife? She is ungrateful, disowns her relatives, and colludes with outsiders to cheat your family in order to take charge of the household!"
“Your father, Gu Huaien, probably knew his true identity all along. No wonder he was so heartless to his adoptive parents and showed no regard for their kindness in raising him.”
“As long as you are a member of the five great families, you know about the background of the second branch of the Gu family. When Brother Gu and his wife adopted your father, all of us brothers were there. We advised them to find your father a new family, but Brother Gu and his wife saw that he was destined for them and insisted on raising your father themselves, raising him to adulthood and giving him a good life. In the end, they made a mistake.”
"An ingrate is not worth raising. Brother Gu's bloody example tells us that there are risks in adopting a child. Brother Gu never dreamed that his adopted son would collude with someone from the inside to frame him!"
The two elders, cursing and swearing, revealed the whole story about Gu's second son being adopted.
"My God, the Qin family thought they had found a powerful backer, but it turns out the other party is just an adopted son."
"There were rumors before, and I thought it was just someone spreading rumors. Now that Elder Sheng and Elder Cheng have admitted it themselves, it must be true!"
