Chapter 149 The Truth Comes to Light

Su Jin subconsciously clenched the handkerchief. Behind her, Gu Suiyu came over gently, patted her back calmly, and whispered to comfort her: "Mother, don't worry, everything is under control."

Sui Yu also knows?

Su Jin was a little surprised. She subconsciously looked at Gu Zixuan. The young man was dressed in heroic and free and easy style. He held the wine glass in one hand. His black eyes glanced at Gu Ziyun coldly, but there was a faint curve at the corner of his mouth.

Gu Zixuan obviously wasn't worried at all.

That is to say, everything that has happened so far was already discussed by the children?

How can you be so meticulous and detailed?

Su Jin raised her eyebrows. Although Gu Suiyu advised her to be patient, she was a mother after all. She couldn't be like a stone and not move at all, right?

When it comes to acting, one naturally has to act convincingly in order to deceive outsiders.

Su Jin's eyes suddenly turned red, and she subconsciously wanted to get up, but was pulled back to her seat by Gu Changqing. The man lowered his voice and said anxiously, "Don't come and make trouble again!!"

Make trouble?

Oh, she really didn't want to tire herself out. She was just acting anyway. Since someone was giving her a way out, she might as well take advantage of it.

Su Jin indeed showed an angry expression, but in the end he sat back down helplessly. In short, his acting was perfect.

“Cough cough cough!”

Su Jin coughed a few times at the right time. Her character still had to be established, as she was the frail and sickly mistress of a marquisate.

"Your Majesty, I also think that Gu Zilu should be punished as well!"

"He gave his essay to his brother to copy. Isn't this two brothers cheating in the imperial examination? As for Gu Zixuan, should we also investigate the three sons of the Marquis' Mansion to see if there are any problems!"

These three people are brothers and live and eat together. Since Gu Ziyun plagiarized, then does Gu Zixuan also have a problem? Especially this year, the Marquis' Mansion directly produced two Jinshi, and one was the second place and the other was the third place. The third place man is also a playboy, so how come he suddenly became so motivated?

So, everyone had to think more, and even thought at one point that there were problems with these three children.

Beside him, Su Jin raised his eyebrows.

Now, not only Gu Zilu was brought along, but also Gu Zixuan. They are going to wipe out the Yong'an Marquis Mansion in one fell swoop!

Not to mention Su Jin's worry, now old man Gu Zhao, Marquis of Yong'an, is almost having a heart attack.

At first, only Gu Ziyun had a problem. The old man's heart sank suddenly, and he thought that this was the worst possible outcome. However, this ending seemed to have no bottom line, and it was getting worse and worse. Now, all three grandsons have been dragged out. This is going to be a total annihilation.

The old man was trembling all over. Wouldn't he leave any for the Gu family?

"emperor!"

Gu Zhao could no longer sit still, so he knelt down and said, "This old minister requests that the emperor thoroughly investigate this matter. If there is a problem, this old minister will not tolerate these three children. If there is no problem, you cannot wrongly accuse good people just because of one person!"

In short, Gu Ziyun cannot be saved, so let’s see if we can save the remaining two.

Tonight's Enrong Banquet was really wonderful, with one thing happening after another, it was even more exciting than watching a play.

The crowd around stared at the three young masters of the Marquis' Mansion, and they all thought that these three would be in trouble today.

In the silence, Xie Huaiguang also knelt down.

The young man lifted up the corner of his clothes, knelt down calmly, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I admire Gu Zilu's literary talent, so now I have a question that I would like to ask Gu Zilu."

The emperor's voice came slowly: "Yes."

Xie Huaiguang turned his head and said, "Gu Zilu, you have such literary talent, you can definitely take the imperial examination on your own, why did you help Gu Ziyun to plagiarize?"

Everyone looked at Gu Zilu again.

Yes, with such literary talent, he could have taken the imperial examination himself. Why would he plagiarize?

And the person he gave it to was not his eldest brother who had the same father and mother as him, but his second brother who was born out of wedlock?

This is a bit confusing.

Gu Zilu, who had been kneeling quietly, raised the corners of his lips slightly when he heard the words, but the arc was fleeting, as if it had never appeared.

So the young man looked up, revealing a pair of red and swollen eyes filled with tears. He kowtowed heavily, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

“Boom!”

Even Zhao Jingcheng could hear the sound of the head hitting the bluestone slab. Everyone was shocked, and even Zhou Ruihai looked distressed.

Wouldn't it be a bloody hole on his head? What a pity for such a bright and beautiful face.

Sure enough, when he looked up again, there was a streak of blood on Gu Zilu's forehead. He cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, I cannot tell you."

Gu Zhao was furious and said angrily, "What can't you say in front of the emperor? Just tell me!"

Gu Zilu cried and shook his head: "Grandfather, I said it, it's not good for the Marquis' Mansion, you can't say it."

The more they pulled, the more anxious the spectators around them became. They were already crying like this, so they must have been wronged. What else could they not say? Oh, I am so anxious to eat the melons. Child, why don’t you continue talking?

Everyone looked anxious, but Gu Changqing's heart sank inch by inch to the bottom.

He could roughly guess what Gu Zilu wanted to say.

This matter was indeed bad for the Marquis's Mansion, especially for him. He subconsciously looked at Su Jin and was about to ask Su Jin to call back the rebellious son Gu Zilu, but the emperor said, "I am here, tell me."

Since the emperor has issued an order, we have to say it.

Gu Zilu wiped his tears and turned back, staring at Su Jin helplessly and desperately, and said in a tearful voice: "Mother, I really can't stand it anymore. The current emperor is wise and will definitely make the decision for us, right?"

At this moment, alarm bells rang in Su Jin's head. She no longer cared and stood up suddenly: "Zi Lu! No!"

She had originally planned to tell the story herself, and if there were any bad consequences, she would bear them herself. But now Gu Zilu has said it, what about the consequences? Child, do you not care about the consequences?

"Mother, the emperor asked, I have to tell you."

The young man turned around, not bothering to wipe the blood from his forehead, and spoke every word earnestly and with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, when I was six years old, my second brother found me..."

Gu Zilu told all the threats and grievances he had suffered.

Gu Ziyun used Su Jin to force himself, so that he had to give his manuscript to Gu Ziyun for plagiarism, which is why Gu Ziyun became famous for his talent.

What does a six-year-old child know? In addition, Gu Changqing favored Lin Xiaoniang at the time and allowed his concubine Lin Wanhui to bully Su Jin. Gu Ziyun begged Gu Changqing to no avail and finally had no choice but to compromise.

Everything, one by one, was brought to light. The thirteen-year-old Gu Zilu had a face full of grievance. He cried as he spoke, and he almost couldn't breathe when he talked about his grievances. This made everyone who heard about it feel heartbroken.

Many people were even furious, especially many wives and mistresses, who felt the same way and vomited blood in their chests.

How much injustice has Madam Su suffered?
