Gu Chonghu felt guilty and a little annoyed. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, forget it. Today is the big day for Duo'er to recognize her ancestors. I won't hold it against you. How about this, Duo'er, call her Grandma Yan. It's just a title. You all made such a big deal out of it. Is it really necessary?"
Realizing that Gu Chonghu had actually conceded, Yun Duo decided to stop while she was ahead and immediately called out, "Grandma Yan."
Her tone wasn't particularly respectful, but because Gu Shaoyong had mentioned Gu Shaozong earlier, making everyone else feel guilty, no one bothered to question Yun Duo's attitude.
Yan Ruyu handed the gift she had prepared to Yun Duo, and then handed it to Gu Shaoyong.
She didn't want that old woman's things at all, she bit her hand!
Gu Chonghu's face darkened, but he didn't say anything bad about Yun Duo. He pretended not to have seen Yun Duo's little actions and pointed to Gu Shaozong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and said, "This is your uncle." He paused and then explained, somewhat as if trying to cover up his mistake, "Your uncle had a little trouble not long ago and broke his leg. It can be considered that he learned his lesson and paid back the debt he owed you."
Of course, that's what Gu Chonghu was thinking, but he didn't say it out loud.
In any case, this is still his eldest son, and he should at least have some semblance of decency left for him.
Therefore, Gu Chonghu only mumbled a couple of times before changing the subject and saying, "In short, he is your father's older brother, a blood brother, so you should call him Uncle."
Yun Duo was definitely not going to be polite to the person who wanted to kill her. However, she wasn't in a hurry to take revenge. But once she had the idea of revenge in her mind, she no longer cared about the issue of how she was addressed and obediently called him "Uncle".
This made Gu Chonghu somewhat satisfied.
He thought the clouds were going to cause trouble again.
However, it seems the fourth brother is quite sensible; he didn't tell Yun Duo about what the eldest brother had done. After all, the eldest brother was just momentarily blinded by greed, and he didn't actually succeed. He'd already disciplined him, so there was no need for the child to know. Otherwise, if the child blurted it out, what would become of the Gu family's reputation?
Thinking of this, Gu Chonghu remembered that even for the sake of the Gu family's reputation, they couldn't let the matter of his uncle killing his own niece happen again. Therefore, after Gu Shaozong gave the gift to Yun Duo, Gu Chonghu sternly reprimanded Gu Shaozong: "Of the four of you brothers, only you and Shaoyong are left. Your brother only has Yun Duo as his bloodline. As the eldest brother and uncle, you must take good care of your brother and niece, protect her well, and not let her suffer any harm. Otherwise, no matter who did it, it will be your fault, and I will not let it go lightly!"
As he spoke, he gave Gu Shaozong's leg a warning look.
Gu Shaozong knew Gu Chonghu well enough to know that he was being warned that if anything happened to Yun Duo again, it wouldn't be as simple as just breaking his legs.
Gu Shaozong was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood.
He was already furious with Yun Duo, that 'little bastard,' for causing him to be punished by the old man with family law, receiving eighty lashes that broke his legs. Now, hearing Gu Chonghu's implied meaning, he wished he could skin Yun Duo alive.
However, he ultimately didn't dare to do it.
The old man's meaning was clear: if someone hurts Yunduo, then regardless of whether they did it or not, and regardless of whether they knew about it or not, they will eventually be held accountable.
