Chapter 188 It’s Not Your Fault
The old lady stood up suddenly, but suddenly felt dizzy and fell back down.
Several daughters-in-law hurried forward to look after them.
Mu Qingyan took out the silver needle and relieved General Gu’s pain.
He had been suppressing his emotions for too long and suddenly became angry, causing him to vomit blood.
But spitting out this blood is not a bad thing.
It is fatal if it accumulates in the body for a long time.
After the acupuncture, General Gu's breathing slowly returned to normal, but he felt a little weak.
"Grandfather, I'm sorry..."
The old lady felt uncomfortable after hearing her words, so she put a heart-saving pill under her tongue. She carried the medicine with her every day.
Seeing that she was having trouble breathing, Yu had already taken out the medicine and put it in her mouth.
So it’s no big deal at the moment.
General Gu waved his hands with difficulty, "Child, you were not born when these things happened. It's not your fault, ah... it's not your fault..."
Mu Qingyan felt very guilty. After all, she said it. This was very cruel to the Gu family...
Xulin helped her up, "Yan'er, don't blame yourself... This has nothing to do with you... Grandparents love their child, not because you told them about it... If you don't tell them, they will remain in the dark, and the person who caused your mother to suffer and die young will remain at large..."
After Gu Qingrong calmed down his fluctuating emotions, he also spoke to comfort him, "Yes, Yan'er, this is not your fault. We should thank you for telling us the truth! Otherwise, we would have to hide it for this bastard! If he hadn't lied about military intelligence back then, my eldest brother-in-law wouldn't have died in vain, and your uncle wouldn't have been so aggrieved! He gave up the military merit to others in vain! And we even bothered to cover up for him! If we had known he was such a bastard, we shouldn't have married Sister Qin to him!"
Gu Qingrong became more and more excited as he spoke.
After he finished speaking, he noticed that his second and third brothers were constantly winking at him.
Only then did he realize that he had said something wrong.
This marriage was decided by the parents of both families, and his words undoubtedly hurt his parents' hearts.
"Father, Mother, I got carried away and said something out of turn..." He lowered his head, admitting his mistake sincerely.
The two old people have recovered.
General Gu held his wife's hand and said, "Amien, Qin'er is a brave woman who is not afraid of worldly opinions. She is not afraid of being criticized. We have been too concerned over the years and have let her stay alone underground for so many years. Tomorrow, we will go to the Fuguo Mansion and ask for a divorce letter. We will find a good day to move her remains to the ancestral tomb of our Gu family and let her go home..."
The old lady's eyes were filled with tears. "Okay... I'll do as you say... I'll do as you say..."
Mu Qingyan's tears suddenly fell when she heard this. She quickly turned her head to wipe them away.
All that needed to be said had been said, and the old general and the old lady were no longer in good health, so they were supported by their sons and daughters-in-law and sent back to the backyard to rest.
There were only two siblings left in the flower hall.
"What do you think? Would it be okay if mother and father were buried together?"
From Madam Yuan's narration, she could tell that Gu Qingqi was thinking about Yan Guili. And after Yan Guili returned to Xiaoyao Sect, he also wanted to find her.
If they can be buried together, they can be reunited in the underground and avoid the pain of separation.
I just don't know if the Gu family is willing to...
No matter what, Yan Guili also took away Gu Qingqi's innocence...
Xu Lin sighed and shook his head, "Neither you nor I can make the decision on this matter. It depends on what the elders think."
The next day, after General Gu and his three sons left court, they returned, changed their clothes, and went out with their wives.
The three sons and three daughters-in-law of the Gu family all went with them.
Madam Yuan learned the whole story yesterday and wanted to go with them, but her health was not good enough. She felt weak and couldn't stand the slightest breeze.
Except for the day they returned to Beijing, when the Gu family made such a big scene, they were very low-key on weekdays. Even when they came to their house for a banquet, only one or two people would go, and they never made a fuss.
So many people went out together today, and the people found it strange and whispered to each other.
The men all rode horses and the women all sat in carriages.
Xu Lin and Mu Qingyan also followed behind on horseback.
The Gu family and the Duke Fuguo's Mansion are separated by two streets. It takes half an hour to walk there if you walk along the road.
The old general and the old lady stood in front of the gate of the Duke Fuguo's Mansion again, feeling as if they were in another world.
Thinking about the last time I came here, it seems like it was a lifetime ago.
The doorman was frightened by the scene and ran to report.
The Duke had just returned home from court when the Gu family arrived in a mighty force. Judging from their posture, it seemed like they were here to fight.
Although the two families are related by marriage, they have not had any contact since the old lady passed away and the Gu family went to Chiling Pass.
After the Gu family returned to Beijing, the Duke never visited the Yue family, as if he had forgotten about them.
Today, all the Gu family members suddenly came to the house, fearing that something bad might happen.
When the doorman went to report, Mu Sinian thought he had misheard, "Who did you say is here?"
He had no choice but to repeat, "Gu family, old general, old lady, three generals, three ladies, all are here..."
Mu Sinian's heart finally died.
He probably knew what the Gu family was here for.
The person came in plain sight, in full view of everyone outside, and he couldn't avoid seeing him.
The Gu family is his in-laws' family after all. If he gives them a cold shoulder, and tomorrow the historian submits a memorial, and Your Majesty charges him with an unfilial crime, then he will have no place in the court without Your Majesty having to wait to find out what he has done.
As soon as he appeared at the door, the three sons of the Gu family clenched their fists at the same time, wanting to go up and beat him up, but they were all stopped by their wives.
He gently advised, "Don't be impulsive, go in first and talk about it. Don't worry about his face, but you have to consider Sister Qin's reputation." These words successfully persuaded the man.
He usually didn't put on a show when he saw the Gu family. Today, when the Gu family arrived at his doorstep, and there were many people watching, he had to act like a junior and bowed, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"If you don't want us to come to your door, we don't mind making it clear at the door."
As soon as the old general opened his mouth, there was a sense of oppression.
Even though Mu Sinian was standing on the steps looking down at the enemy, he could not suppress the decisive and murderous aura and majesty of the veteran warrior.
As soon as he said this, Mu Sinian hurriedly invited people in.
Mu Qingyan and Xu Lin followed the Gu family. When they passed by Mu Sinian, they were stopped by him. Xu Lin was not wearing a mask today. When Mu Sinian saw that face, he naturally understood everything. He stared at his face for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "You are really lucky..."
Xu Lin usually looked gentle and elegant, like a person without temper, but at this moment, his face was slightly provocative. His originally warm and mellow voice, at this moment, uttered words that were very cold and indifferent, "Yes, thanks to the Duke, you are alive and well, how dare I die?"
