Chapter 618 This is a naked threat!
The successive blows left Master Gu San completely stunned.
He stared blankly at his wife, who was lying on the ground with disheveled hair and a resentful look in her eyes. In an instant, everything connected.
His years of favor, trust, and self-righteous control all became a huge joke at this moment.
"Someone come here!" Master Gu San's voice was a little hoarse.
"Madam...is ill. From now on, she will be locked in the Buddhist hall. No one is allowed to visit her!"
"Without my order, she is not allowed to step out of the temple!"
This was to let her "die of illness" quietly in the Buddhist temple.
Yang was so frightened that her whole body was shaking violently. She collapsed on the ground, but she didn't dare to say a word to beg for mercy.
Several strong women came forward and tried to drag Madam Gu away from the ground.
At this moment, Gu Lu spoke again.
His voice was not loud, but it made everyone stop.
"Grandfather, I have something to ask of you."
Master Gu San slowly turned his head and looked at his grandson, whom he both respected and feared, with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
Gu Lu met his gaze, bowed, and said slowly: "Grandson wants to...divide the family."
"Separation?"
Master Gu San almost thought he had misheard. "Nonsense! You just won the third place in the imperial examination and have a bright future. It's the time to bring honor to your family. Why are you talking about dividing the family?"
Gu Lu seemed to have anticipated his reaction, "Grandfather, I have decided to separate this family today."
He paused, a cold light flashing in his dark eyes, "Otherwise, I don't mind letting the Dali Temple judge today's matter."
This is a naked threat!
The three words "Dali Temple" were like a huge mountain, pressing down on Master Gu San's heart.
He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Gu Lu with his lips trembling, and said, "You, you..." for a long time, but couldn't say a word.
He knew that if Gu Lu said it, he could do it.
The evidence he held in his hands was enough to bring ruin to the entire Third House, turning them into the laughing stock of the capital, and even...
Gu Lu lowered his eyes, his tone indifferent as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"You don't have to worry about where your grandson will go," he said calmly. "Over the years, I've saved some money by copying documents for others, and I've already bought a small courtyard in the south of the city."
Upon hearing this, Master Gu San was shocked again.
Only then did he realize that the grandson in front of him was no longer the young man who lived a miserable life under the wings of the third house and was at the mercy of others.
He planned every step carefully and with deep thoughts, and even had a way to escape unscathed.
"Grandson wants to take Sister Lan with him." Gu Lu's eyes finally showed some warmth, which was the warmth reserved only for his sister.
"This house will belong to Uncle Chengye sooner or later. My sister and I are just outsiders living under someone else's roof. We will have to move out sooner or later. Why not take advantage of today?"
Master Gu San looked into Gu Lu's eyes and knew that there was no room for maneuver.
In order to preserve his official reputation, to preserve the last bit of dignity of the third branch, and to preserve the future of his incompetent eldest son, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
He seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he squeezed out a word with difficulty from between his teeth.
"allow!"
After getting permission, Gu Lu turned around and left without even looking at the people in the yard.
When he passed by Mrs. Gu San, who was lying on the ground with her hair disheveled and looking like a madman, he paused slightly.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, he slowly leaned over, leaned close to her ear, and whispered softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Grandma, I didn't want to do this."
"Speaking of which, I also want to 'thank' you for helping me deal with that useless father."
Mrs. Gu San suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of fear and confusion, and stared at him.
"What a pity," Gu Lu's voice was as cold as ice, "You shouldn't have set your sights on Sister Lan again and again."
Mrs. Gu San's pupils suddenly constricted, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze at this moment.
It turns out he knew everything! He always knew!
He has been waiting, waiting for himself to grow up, waiting for himself to have enough strength to overturn all this!
"This home, you can enjoy it slowly."
Gu Lu slowly stood up and raised his hand to straighten his bright red official robe. The bright color hurt his eyes.
Without looking back, he walked out of the yard and walked out of the cage that had imprisoned him for more than ten years.
At the same time, in the main courtyard of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Chu Ruohan had just finished listening to all the news brought back by Haitang.
From how Gu Lu escaped to how he exposed all the dirty deeds of the third room, not a single word was left out.
She put down the teacup in her hand and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"This kid has finally made a name for himself."
She tilted her head and ordered, "Haitang, go to the storehouse and prepare a generous gift and send it to Gu Tanhua's new residence in the south of the city."
"Yes, ma'am." Haitang responded with a smile, turned around and went to prepare.
Gu Qingchen, who was standing by, was dumbfounded and took a long time to come back to his senses.
She was not interested in the grudges and hatreds of the third room. All she had in mind were her own affairs.
Brother Gu Lu is now the new third place in the imperial examination, a young talent personally selected by the emperor.
Perhaps, with the help of this new top scholar, she could find a new way to get back the "Jinghong" bow that was "borrowed" by the prince.
