Gu Shuxue stood beside Madam Gu unwillingly and reminded her in a low voice, "Grandma..."

Madam Gu also frowned. Whether it was the second or third house, she just didn't want the first house to be the head of the family! Gu Zhaoming, that unfilial son, would definitely not worship her like the empress dowager.

"I don't agree! Gu Zhaoming killed the old man back then, so he has no right to succeed the head of the family." Old Madam Gu was actually not confident enough and could only bring up this old matter again.

Mr. Gu looked at Mrs. Gu with deep eyes, "Don't you know the truth of what happened back then?"

"Zhaoye, you speak."

Old Master Gu looked towards Gu Zhaoye.

Gu Zhaoye was startled and suddenly remembered that he was drunk and extorted in a nightclub, and the incident was eventually posted on the Internet.

Old Madam Gu obviously also remembered this incident. Her eyes suddenly became sharper when she looked at Gu Zhaoye. She blamed her stupid son for speaking without restraint after getting drunk.

She forced a smile at Mr. Gu, "Old man, those are all rumors spread on the Internet."

Old Master Gu snorted coldly, then looked at Gu Zhaoye solemnly, revealing the majesty of the patriarch, "Zhaoye?"

Gu Zhaoye was most afraid of a father like this, and was so frightened that his legs went weak.

What to do, what to do, what to do...

Yes, son! Son, there is definitely a way!

Gu Zhaoye looked at Gu Shuzhi for help.

Gu Shuzhi nodded calmly.

Since I plan to beg for mercy from the eldest wife and ask them to show mercy, I have to start trying to please them now.

Gu Zhaoye suddenly realized and stopped panicking. "That's right! It's a rumor!"

Madam Gu snorted coldly. At least this son has some conscience!

Gu Shuzhi felt like he was screwed by a dog at this moment.

His nodding meant that he could tell the whole story, not that he agreed with what grandma said!

Old Master Gu looked at Gu Zhaoye coldly, "Zhaoye, why don't you tell the truth?"

Gu Shuzhi used the table as cover to kick Gu Zhaoye.

Gu Zhaoye was frightened by Mr. Gu's serious expression and was also startled by Gu Shuzhi's kick. He jumped up instantly.

"I……"

He looked at Gu Shuzhi again.

This time, Gu Shuzhi neither nodded nor shook his head. He silently reminded with his mouth: "Tell the truth."

Gu Zhaoye's eyes lit up, and he said confidently: "It's the truth! Dad, I'm telling the truth!"

There is no wrong way to follow your son’s pace!

Gu Shuzhi covered his chest and almost wanted to vomit blood.

Gu Zhaoan smiled and said, "Dad, you see, my third brother has already said that it was all a rumor. It must be someone with ulterior motives who framed us."

Gu Yang watched the interaction between Gu Zhaoye and Gu Shuzhi with great interest. When he heard what Gu Zhaoan said, he raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled at Gu Shuzhi, reminding him, "Cousin Shuzhi, do you think so too?"

Hearing Gu Yang's words, Gu Zhaoan and Old Madam Gu frowned, but due to her current status, they did not dare to say that she, an adopted daughter, had any right to speak.

After all, just now, Grandpa Gu also said that he would treat Gu Yang as his own granddaughter.

Of course, Gu Yang just smiled and said nothing. She only had Grandpa Xiao as her grandfather, so it was impossible for her to treat Grandpa Gu as her own grandfather.

Gu Shuzhi felt as if he had been pardoned. He thought that he could no longer let his father speak, otherwise he would be killed sooner or later.

He stood up and said to Grandpa Gu, "Grandpa, my dad was just too nervous and said the wrong thing. In fact, what was spread online was not a rumor. Dad was afraid that you would blame him, so he didn't dare to admit it.

But I can’t watch my father distort the facts, nor can I watch my uncle being wrongly accused again.”
