Chapter 161 The So-called Family

Minglan nodded, and when she was about to leave, she rolled up the ink bamboo painting on the desk and put it into her sleeve, "Give this painting to me!"

Qi Heng's eyes were filled with smiles, "It was originally yours."

Minglan couldn't help but raise her lips and smile brilliantly. The sweetness in her heart was like honey melting, making her steps lighter. She took the lead in stepping out of the garden, her back was filled with happiness and satisfaction, and Qi Heng quickly followed.

The two of them arrived at the front hall, and they didn't expect that the guests who arrived first were people from Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit strange. Ning Yuanhou and Gu Tingye sat there with sullen faces, while Gu Tingyu was expressionless and silent. The atmosphere here was depressing and dull. On the other side, Yun Jinyan and Shao (Gu Tingyu's wife) were talking happily, Xiao Qin was chatting with Molan and Rulan, and even Gu Tingwei got along well with Changfeng and Changzhang.

As soon as Minglan and Qiheng entered the hall, everyone in Ning Yuanhou's mansion stood up to greet them. Because of Minglan and Qiheng's arrival, the atmosphere became warm again. Gu Tingye sat for a while, but he really didn't want to stand in silent confrontation with his father, so he stood up and went out to greet the guests.

Lord Gu seemed to have been holding his breath for a long time, and finally couldn't help but burst out, "Stop!"

Gu Tingye stood with his back turned, and the others fell silent. Xiao Qin couldn't help but roll her eyes, and Gu Tingyu was still expressionless.

"You held a banquet at your mansion and invited all the nobles in Tokyo, why did you leave out the Ningyuan Mansion?"

Rulan was shocked and exchanged a look with Molan and Minglan: It turns out that Second Brother Gu didn't invite anyone from the Ningyuan Mansion. I thought the atmosphere was so weird after they came!

Gu Tingye took a deep breath, "Even if he wasn't invited, didn't Lord Gu bring his whole family here? Didn't our Gu Mansion also open its doors to welcome guests?" Lord

Gu choked with anger, "You...rebellious son! Rebellious son!"

Gu Tingyu's emotions finally fluctuated. He stepped forward to appease Lord Gu, and Shao also stood beside him. "After all, you are a descendant of my Gu family. It is only right that we invite our family members to the banquet. But you don't know the etiquette. We, our family members, will not bother with you. We are worried that you may not understand something when hosting a banquet for the first time. We came early to help you. If you don't appreciate it, then

forget it. Why do you have to make your father so angry?" After saying these words, Gu Tingyu's body also coughed continuously. Lord Gu, in turn, helped him and glared at Gu Tingye with anger, as if blaming Gu Tingye for not knowing how to behave and making Gu Tingyu upset.

Gu Tingye suddenly smiled, he turned around and looked at Gu Tingyu. "Brother, why did you come to my house and act so hypocritical? You wish I would be expelled from the family tree, right? When I was at home, you often played tricks on me. Father felt sorry for your weak body and always sided with you. I left Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, you must be very happy, but you didn't expect that I would return home in glory. I'm afraid you haven't slept well these days, brother?" After

Gu Tingye finished speaking, he didn't care about the ugly faces of the father and son, and pointed the finger at Marquis Gu again, " Lord Gu has portrayed himself as a good father. I heard that after I left, you even cleared my name. I just don’t know how Lord Gu dealt with those who harmed me? They are not still sitting in this hall, are they? "

Gu Tingye looked around. Lord Gu’s face was extremely ugly. He stammered, but he could no longer say the word "rebellious son". Xiao Qin looked at Gu Tingye deeply, with a gloomy expression.

Gu Tingye snorted coldly and walked out again.

He heard a low sigh behind him, "But we are a family after all!"

Gu Tingye's eyes turned red in an instant, and he turned around abruptly to question. A figure blocked his way first.

"You are wrong, Lord Gu. Zhong Huai doesn't deserve the title of "family". His mother married into your Ningyuan Marquis's house because we are all family. She used millions of dowry to fill the hole of the Gu family, but ended up with a tragic fate. She was obviously deceived into marrying into the Gu family, and now she has to bear the injustice!" Yun Jinyan said to the end, staring at Gu Tingyu.

Lord Gu widened his eyes and looked at Gu Tingye and Yun Jinyan in disbelief. It seemed that he had never thought that Gu Tingye would tell outsiders about the family's secrets, and he had never thought that Yun Jinyan would openly reveal the ugly things of the Gu family in front of so many outsiders.

Gu Tingyu was stunned. What did the woman say? He turned his head stiffly to look at his father, who had a look of shame and anger on his face, but he did not refute it. He even felt as if the sky had fallen. Shao was also shocked, but she did not dare to make any big moves. She just held her husband's arm tightly. Only Xiao Qinshi was happy. Someone finally spoke out the evil thoughts of the Gu family!

Gu Tingyu was the first to come back to his senses. He looked at Xiao Qinshi with gloomy eyes. He hated Bai so much because she told him that it was because of Baishi that his mother died of depression and he was weak and sick since childhood.

Gu Tingyu made a decision in a flash. With things getting so ugly, there was no need to stay in the Gu Mansion. He supported Lord Gu and Shao supported him, and they were about to walk out.

But Yun Jinyan didn't care what they thought, and said bluntly, "Let's just live in peace in the future. If things really get out of hand, it won't be our Fuguo General's Mansion that will be embarrassed!"

The three of them paused for a moment before continuing to walk out.

Xiao Qinshi watched a good show, and now that it was over, she should go back. "Tingwei, go home!"

Gu Tingwei, who was standing aside, had already dropped his jaw in shock at these secrets. He looked at his second brother distressedly, "Mother, please go home first. I want to help my second brother here!"

Xiao Qin was annoyed by her son's stupidity. Among the three brothers of the Gu family, he was the most helpless. Xiao Qin wanted to go forward and drag Gu Tingwei away, but Gu Tingwei hid behind Gu Tingye. Xiao Qin immediately met Gu Tingye's eyes. There

was still admiration in Gu Tingye's eyes, but upon closer inspection, there were also doubts and questions. When Xiao Qin met this look, she felt guilty and glanced around, but didn't look at Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye wanted to ask her, "When I called you mother before, was your love for me real or fake?"

But even if Gu Tingye asked, Xiao Qinshi could not answer. When she married, Gu Tingye was still such a small baby. She watched him grow up day by day, accompanied him every day, advised him every word, and gave him practical care in every detail. Who can tell whether it was true or false? After all, now there is no going back!

Seeing that Gu Tingwei was unwilling to go with her, Xiao Qinshi did not force him and took people out and returned home.
