The rest of the Gu family were a little frightened. A few girls leaned against each other and looked around carefully.

Two other four or five-year-old children couldn’t help but scream and cry.

The child was still young, so as a mother, her heart naturally ached. She hurriedly hugged the child and coaxed and caressed him.

Most of them wanted to leave. After all, this was the matter of the third branch and had nothing to do with the fourth and fifth branches. However, they were still worried that Madam was still around. After hesitating for a while, they didn’t dare to leave.

Fourth Master Gu and Fifth Master Gu exchanged glances. They didn’t dare to say anything to Madam Gu, so they turned towards Gu Jian.

“Second Brother, is Father really angry?” Fourth Master Gu asked hesitantly.

Gu Jian was already panicking.

At this moment, being questioned by his two concubine brothers in public, his face instantly felt hot and embarra.s.sed.

‘Shut up!” Gu Jian’s face was ashen as he reprimanded them like an elder brother. “It’s just a trick to scare you. You’re all useless.’

With Gu Jian’s shout, the two children, who had finally stopped crying, started crying again. They were about to overturn the roof.

Fourth Master Gu and Fifth Master Guis expressions didn’t look too good either. They knew very well that Gu Jian was venting his anger.

Fifth Master Gu said awkwardly, “Second Brother, you’re so loud. Be careful not to scare the child.”

The surroundings were even more chaotic. A few girls were muttering to themselves, imitating Gu Yanfei’s previous actions and introducing themselves to the ancestral tablet, as if this would give them a sense of security.

Madam Gu didn’t seem to notice the commotion around her at all. She stared at the Old Marquis’s memorial tablet in a daze.

Her fingers unconsciously exerted strength, almost crus.h.i.+ng the prayer beads in her hand. She squeezed until her knuckles turned white.

“It’s you, isn’t it?” Gu Jian’s sharp voice sounded again.

Gu Jian raised his intact left hand and pointed at Gu Yanfei, who was a few steps away. He said confidently, “Yesterday, you and Zhen’er knelt in the ancestral hall for the entire night. You must have taken the opportunity to do something to your grandfather’s memorial tablet, righ?!”

The more Gu Jian spoke, the more he felt that this was the case. His voice became higher and higher. He really wanted to punish this wild girl in front of his ancestors.

Gu Yanfei calmly curled a strand of hair on her chest with her fingers, but she smiled without saying anything.

In Gu Jian’s opinion, this was tantamount to an admission and a silent provocation.

He wanted to teach Gu Yanfei a lesson and walked towards her in three steps. But he’d only taken two steps when his left foot tripped over his right. He stumbled, lost his balance, and fell forward.

‘Marquis!”

“Father!”

Madam w.a.n.g and the young masters and ladies of the second branch shouted in unison, but they didn’t have time to help Gu Jian. They just watched as Gu Jian fell on the ground.

Gu Jian’s right shoulder landed on the ground, adding to his injuries. He let out a miserable scream.

Gu Yanfei shook her head with a sigh. She rubbed her chin and sighed. ‘Ah, Grandpa is angry.

“Tuk, tuk, tuk...”

The memorial tablet in front of them was still vibrating. The monotonous sound made one feel vexed.

The veins on Gu Jian’s forehead twitched, and the pain from his right shoulder distorted his face.

Madam w.a.n.g shouted with heartache, “Quick, help the Marquis up.”

However, no one moved, and a single thought lingered in their hearts. Gu Xuan was probably really angry.

Madam w.a.n.g could only walk over and order her son to help Gu Jian up from the ground.

Gu Jian was embarra.s.sed and angry. He had fallen in public and was seen as a joke by his two brothers and the others. This was like a slap to his face.

The pain in his right shoulder was getting stronger and stronger. It was so painful that he couldn’t stand steadily, and could barely stand upright. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

He was the Marquis of Dingyuan and the head of the Gu family. Of course, he couldn’t show weakness in front of everyone, let alone bear the t.i.tle of ‘Offending his late father”.

Of course, he wasn’t the one in the wrong. It was his nephew and niece!

‘You guys have really disappointed me!” Gu Jian used all his strength to barely finish his sentence.

His voice grew louder, as if that would make more sense.

‘Zhen’er, you weren’t like this in the past. Why are you so selfish now? Your grandfather doted on you so much when he was still alive, but you actually tampered with his memorial tablet. How can your grandfather rest in peace in heaven?!”

‘And you, Gu Yanfei, you’re just a troublemaker.. Isn’t it enough that you almost ruined your third sister’s marriage? Now, you’re even going to ruin your eldest sister’s marriage?!”
