Chapter 978 You've been tricked again!
As Gu Qingyan listened to Gu Qingzhe's words, his dislike for him intensified. He felt that he had come too early and should have let the guy stay in the cell for a few more days!
"enough!"
Gu Qingyan interrupted Gu Qingzhe, his calm and resolute face showing a hint of disdain and displeasure.
“When your father kicked you out of the house, he made it very clear that you should know what it means to be removed from the family genealogy. We are no longer brothers.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingzhe said, "Brother, I know that I was wrong before. Now that I have been away from the family for so long, I know that I made a mistake."
No matter what, we are still brothers. Why are you so heartless towards me?
"You've reflected on your actions? Your reflection is to go out and find a woman to get pregnant, and then use that as an excuse to return home?"
Gu Qingzhe, you're not young anymore. Even the younger generation can hold their own now, yet you're still doing this kind of pointless thing!
Gu Qingyan's eyes were filled with undisguised disdain. "What is Zhen'er's status now? You, who have no affection for her whatsoever, still dare to act like an elder in front of her."
Where do you even get the nerve? Not to mention, to be fooled by a woman and become a sucker—what were you thinking?
Zhu Niantao originally intended to speak up for Gu Qingzhe, but unexpectedly, Gu Qingzhe suddenly brought up himself as he spoke.
"Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Gu Qingzhe glanced at Zhu Niantao subconsciously, and then he understood.
“Brother, I know better than anyone whether this child is mine or not. How can you believe Song Ruozhen’s one-sided story? She doesn’t know anything about the situation.”
Gu Qingzhe quickly explained, taking Zhu Niantao's hand, and said:
"Nian Tao is a simple girl, and I am the only man she has."
"Shut up!"
Gu Qingyan took a deep breath, thinking about the information he had investigated over the past two days, and then looking at Gu Qingzhe's confident assurances, he almost wished he could sew the guy's mouth shut.
"She only has you as her man? You didn't even investigate beforehand?"
Don't you think about it? She's a young woman in the prime of her life, with so many eligible men around, yet she chooses someone as old as you? Is she blind?
Gu Qingzhe's eyes widened; his older brother's words were far too hurtful!
“Big brother, I truly love Sanlang.” Zhu Niantao quickly explained, “Although there are many men of similar age, I have never cared about them. Only Sanlang truly understands me.”
"Shut up, you have no right to speak here."
Gu Qingyan didn't even bother to look at Zhu Niantao.
"Big brother, did you just listen to Song Ruozhen and start criticizing me?"
She and Gu Ruyan resent me because they feel I helped Yun Wei back then. I…”
Gu Qingyan interrupted Gu Qingzhe before he could finish speaking.
"Put away your shallow understanding and assume that everyone is as narrow-minded as you, holding onto such a small thing for so long."
"Zhen'er, as the Crown Princess, has so many things to do every day. How could she have time to be jealous of someone as unrelated as you?"
"I have investigated and found out that Zhu Niantao used to be a maid in the Zhou family, but she climbed into the bed of the third young master of the Zhou family in order to get a higher position."
The third young master of the Zhou family was about to get married, and naturally, taking a concubine was not allowed at this time. So, the matriarch of the Zhou family kicked her out directly.
And the child in her womb was the third young master of the Zhou family.
"She was kicked out of the Zhou family and had nowhere to go. She happened to run into you, this sucker, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to make you a father."
If you had any sense at all, you wouldn't have been so easily fooled. But you have absolutely no sense at all, and you actually treated her like a treasure, even wanting the Zhou family's children to return to the Gu family to acknowledge their ancestors.
Zhen'er kindly reminded you, and you maliciously insulted and slandered her!
"Gu Qingzhe, you're so old, can't you use your brain a little? Stop being unable to control your lower body all day long, do you really think you're some kind of genius!"
Gu Qingyan's barrage of words stunned Gu Qingzhe, leaving him speechless on the spot.
He was momentarily stunned, feeling that everything his older brother said was fabricated.
"How is this possible?"
Gu Qingzhe turned to look at Zhu Niantao, "Niantao is clearly a simple and kind girl. It's fate that we can be together."
"Niantao, tell me, the child is mine, isn't it?"
Zhu Niantao was completely panicked!
She didn't expect that not only the Crown Princess could see through it, but the Gu family also investigated it thoroughly, and even the third young master of the Zhou family knew about it.
"me……"
Seeing Zhu Niantao's eyes darting around, Gu Qingyan knew this girl was making up lies again, and said directly:
"If you dare to lie, the Gu family has plenty of ways to deal with people. You can try."
A mere maidservant dared to try and confuse the bloodline of the Gu family. The fact that Ruyan was replaced back then had already become a knot in the hearts of the Gu family, and they were most afraid of such things.
Now this woman has come along trying to confuse our bloodlines, she's practically courting death!
Zhu Niantao was frightened by Gu Qingyan's gaze and dared not say a word. She knew that all her plans for so long had been completely ruined at this moment!
Broken!
Gu Qingyan looked at Zhu Niantao's reaction, then at Gu Qingzhe, "The truth is now very clear, don't you understand?"
Seeing Zhu Niantao's guilty look and her fear that prevented her from speaking, Gu Qingzhe's heart sank.
He recalled what he had done during this time, and still cherished Zhu Niantao. He felt that even though he was old, he was still as vigorous as ever, and that he was going to have a child again.
As a result, because of Zhu Niantao, he became a laughing stock in everyone's eyes, and if word got out, he would be laughed at to death!
"Snapped!"
Gu Qingzhe slapped Zhu Niantao.
"You bitch, how dare you scheme against me!"
Zhu Niantao covered her slapped face, not daring to utter a sound.
Her face turned deathly pale, and she trembled with fear. She knew that once the plan was exposed, not only would her chance to become a superior person be ruined, but she would also suffer a very serious fate.
"Sanlang, my feelings for you are genuine!"
Zhu Niantao knelt down and hugged Gu Qingzhe's trouser leg, saying, "I was deceived by the Third Young Master before. I thought he was sincere towards me."
He lied to me, saying that he truly loved me, which is why I gave him my virginity.
He said he would give me a proper status, but he's getting married now, so he had his wife kick me out of the house. I'm truly desperate!
"I never expected to meet you at a time like this. I feel like it's a blessing from heaven, so I cherish the opportunity to be with you. Please believe me!"
However, even if Gu Qingzhe were stupid, he would know that not a single word this woman said was true and that she was not worth believing at all!
"Even now, you still want to lie to me!"
