Chapter 48 Severing Relations
"So, father and mother also know that it was Yunjin who bribed someone to kill their daughter?"
Hearing this, Gu Weiang turned his head away with a guilty conscience, but Chu Qianlan did not feel the slightest bit of guilt and said directly:
"So what if you know?"
"Yun Jin was just trying to scare you, you didn't do anything wrong.
You actually hold a grudge against her for this and treat her like this.
Thanks to her cleverness, she barely escaped, otherwise, Yun Jin would have been dead."
Hearing this, Gu Jingchun sneered.
"What are you talking about, mother? I was just trying to scare Sister Gu Yunjin. She's fine now, isn't she? Why are you holding me responsible?"
Chu Qianlan was furious when he heard this.
"Look at what you're saying?
You are truly a vicious person, actually harming your own sister like this. If I don't punish you this time, it will not be good for the family tradition of the Yong'an Marquisate."
Gu Jingchun also stood up after hearing this.
"Well, in that case, why don't you, Father and Mother, punish Gu Yunjin for attempting to take my life first?
After using her to rectify the family tradition, it won't be too late to punish me later!"
"You're talking nonsense! It's complete nonsense!"
Chu Qianlan's tone was excited.
"Yun Jin was just trying to scare you. You're fine now, and yet you still want to punish her?"
Gu Jingchun also said sternly:
"Whether she was trying to scare me or whether it was just my one-sided statement, Father and Mother should ask the eldest son of the Luo family, or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Perhaps their judgment will be more convincing.”
Hearing this, Gu Weiang finally spoke.
"What does this have to do with the Luo family and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Gu Jingchun then explained:
"On the day Gu Yunjin sent someone to assassinate me, Luo Ziqian happened to be passing by and was almost killed by him by mistake."
"It was thanks to his protection that my daughter was able to barely save her life."
"Also, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was passing by at the time and arrested all the perpetrators."
"With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taking action, this matter will surely be resolved soon. Father should prepare in advance so that we won't be caught off guard when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sends a message."
Hearing this, Gu Weiang stood up suddenly.
"Such an important matter, and you're telling me now?"
Chu Qianlan was also panicked.
She looked at Gu Jingchun, her tone full of accusation.
“You really are… you…”
"It was just a quarrel between sisters, but you actually brought it to the Crown Prince. You truly have no regard for the reputation of our Yong'an Marquisate or the bond between sisters!"
Hearing this, Gu Jingchun also looked at Chu Qianlan.
"Then, mother, have you ever thought about whether Gu Yunjin has taken into account the reputation of the Yong'an Marquisate and the relationship between sisters when she did this?"
Gu Jingchun's voice became a little softer, and there was a hint of sob in his tone.
"Mother, when you said these words, did you ever think for a moment."
"I'm your daughter too!"
"I am your biological daughter!"
“When I first arrived in Tiandu, I was unfamiliar with the place and lived in fear every day.
But at this time, my sister sent someone to kill me, my brother accused me, and my mother wanted to punish me."
"But what did I do wrong?"
"Just because you took me back, I should naturally bear all of your anger and accusations?"
"You keep saying that I am not worthy of being your daughter, but you have never asked me whether I want to be your daughter.
In other words, when you took me back, did you ever think about whether I really wanted to come back and be the daughter of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion? "
Upon hearing this, Chu Qianlan was stunned.
She looked at Gu Jingchun in front of her, as if he was looking at her for the first time.
Her always cold heart softened for a moment. She opened her mouth, but the sudden surge of regret in her heart made her unable to speak.
"That's all."
But Gu Jingchun murmured at this time.
"In that case, why don't we just end it today?"
"From today on, I, Gu Jingchun, am willing to sever all ties with the Yong'an Marquisate."
"From now on, the bridge is the bridge, the road is the road, and there is no longer any connection."
Hearing this, Gu Weiang's face turned cold.
"absurd!"
"What do you think of Yong'an Marquis Mansion as a place where you can do whatever you want?"
"You belong to the Yong'an Marquisate in life and a ghost of the Yong'an Marquisate in death. Even if you marry into the Luo family, it cannot change the fact that you are the daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate!"
The Yong'an Marquisate is now under suspicion from the Emperor, and Gu Weiang is counting on the marriage between Gu Jingchun and the Luo family to win over the Luo family. How could he agree to let Gu Jingchun sever ties with the Marquisate?
So, as soon as he said this, he refused coldly. After he finished speaking, his tone softened a bit, trying to appease Gu Jingchun.
"I know you feel disappointed about this, but as long as your father is here, he will never let you suffer any injustice.
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Chu Qianlan again.
"Gu Yunjin was indeed at fault in this matter. If she hadn't sent someone to assassinate Jingchun, how could these things have happened?"
"So, this matter is entirely Yun Jin's own fault.
Go back now and have her face the wall in her room to reflect on her mistakes. Once she's healed, come and apologize to Jingchun."
After saying that, Chu Qianlan was also stunned for a moment.
She felt a moment of guilt because of Gu Jingchun's words.
But because of Gu Wei'ang's words, he became furious again.
"What are you talking about? Yunjin was harmed by her, and now her reputation is ruined. You actually want Yunjin to apologize to her?"
"Is this impossible?"
"Absolutely impossible?"
Chu Qianlan disagreed with Gu Weiang's words, and the two started arguing while talking.
Gu Jingchun looked at the two people arguing and felt only irony, without any ripple in his heart.
Sure enough, only when it affects one's own interests will one make choices.
Now that Gu Yunjin's marriage to the third prince is a done deal, her reputation is ruined again.
So now she has no value in Gu Weiang's eyes.
And that so-called family affection is better than nothing in the face of the honor and disgrace of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Gu Jingchun did not watch the quarrel between the two, but took the opportunity to leave the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and went straight to the teahouse.
That day, after she wrote a letter to Luo Ziqian asking about Shen Hechuan's matter, although Luo Ziqian wrote a letter to explain, he still asked her to meet today.
Gu Jingchun thought that he might have something urgent to do, so he went out today.
However, when she arrived at the private room they had agreed on, Luo Ziqian was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Jingchun frowned slightly and asked Lan Xin beside him.
"What time is it now?"
"It's already an hour past the agreed time."
Lan Xin explained, "Mr. Luo is always punctual. Perhaps he was delayed today because of something."
Ever since Gu Jingchun came into contact with Luo Ziqian, she has always had a good impression of him.
Although he looks a bit reckless, he is still a very loyal person.
As time passed, Gu Jingchun became a little worried about Luo Ziqian's safety.
