This is how Gulan Yun mentioned the matter. She said to Gulan Yue with a hurt look on her face:
"Lan Yue, do you dislike me so much? You didn't even want to hang up the lanterns I made for Daddy. As soon as you came back, you had them taken down and thrown away..."
After these words were spoken, everyone turned their eyes to Gu Lanyue.
Only Fang Lian rebuked Gu Lanyun, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even with all these delicious dishes, you can't shut up!"
Gulan Yun curled her lips in grievance, lowered her head and said nothing.
Fang Lian turned to Gu Lanyue and said softly, "Your second sister was just joking with you. She doesn't mean to bother with you about this. Since the lanterns are hanging in your yard, you don't have to hang them if you don't like them. It's okay."
Gu Lanyue raised her eyes and glanced at Fang Lian, seeing how the mother and daughter were in perfect harmony and coordinated well.
In the past, Gu Lanyue would deliberately say, "No wonder those lanterns are so ugly, so you made them yourself. I should just throw them away!"
Fang Lian and Gu Lanyun were waiting for her to say this.
These red lanterns were for Gu Hongwei's birthday celebration. What she said was tantamount to being disrespectful to Gu Hongwei in disguise.
But now Gulan Yue has upgraded. She will think and do things more carefully and will no longer rush around and get herself hurt.
She looked at Gu Hongwei and said aggrievedly, "Dad, I did have most of the lanterns taken down, but it wasn't because I didn't like them, it was because..."
Seeing her aggrieved and pitiful expression, wanting to speak but not daring to, Gu Lanyang, who was standing by, softly chimed in, "Why? Tell me what's going on, Dad."
The look he gave Gu Lanyue was one of both heartache and disappointment. His sister was only arrogant and domineering on the surface, but she turned into a coward when encountering problems.
Gu Lanyue glanced at Gu Lanyang, then, as if mustering up the courage, continued to speak to Gu Hongwei:
"I've heard before that young people shouldn't celebrate their birthdays too grandly, otherwise it will backfire and bring down their age. I remember when my grandmother celebrated her birthday, our family didn't hang so many red lanterns with the word 'longevity' written on them. I was afraid there would be too many, so I had most of the ones in my yard taken away..."
Gu Lanyue's voice became smaller and smaller, and she sounded more aggrieved and pitiful. She lowered her head and twirled her fingers, looking like a child who was afraid to admit his mistake after doing something wrong.
Gu Lanyang, who was sitting next to her, saw it especially clearly, and a protective feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
He lied to Gu Hongwei without thinking, "Father, I've heard that before, but I'm not as thoughtful as my sister. She took note of it, but I only remembered it after she told me. Please punish me, father!"
Gu Hongwei has several daughters, but only one son, Gu Lanyang, so he naturally loves him the most. What's more, this son has always stood on his side.
So as soon as Gu Lanyang said this, Gu Hongwei took Gu Lanyue's words seriously.
He couldn't help but look at the red lanterns hanging everywhere in the house and yard, and frowned. There were really too many of them!
"Lan Yue, you're just talking nonsense! If you knew about this, why didn't you warn the rest of us? You should have saved us from dying, that would have been for Father's own good!"
Gulanyun was furious. These lanterns were not made by her, but the longevity characters were written by her. It was also her idea to hang so many lanterns.
And now Gu Lanyue is accusing me of harming my father! How can this be?!
