Chapter 157 The insightful head of the family

Having said that, what else is there for everyone to understand? Du Xianniang was being used by someone. Of course, flies don't bite seamless eggs, and it was only because she had that intention that all these subsequent events happened.

Du Xianniang's face turned pale. She felt that she was being extremely careful, but she never thought that these things would be exposed in front of everyone. But Qiao Gao hadn't finished his words yet.

"According to the information we have received, the ultimate goal that Prince Yu wants to achieve through the Du family is to imprison the head of the family and use the resources behind the head of the family to help him ascend to the throne of the emperor. Originally, he was planning to use Du family to achieve his goal and then send her to the west. Later, a counselor in Prince Yu's mansion suggested that this matter could be used to let Du family drag the Thirteen Guardians into the game and catch them all in one fell swoop."

The scheme was vicious, but Gu Xixian felt like he was listening to a joke. Let's not talk about whether Xianniang had the ability. Even if she did, could the Thirteen Taibao family that had existed for hundreds of years be so easily wiped out? The current emperor was a wise ruler with outstanding abilities. Let's not talk about whether he had such thoughts. At least he never revealed this on the surface, while a prince without real power showed this thought clearly for people to know. I really don't know if I should say that Prince Yu didn't watch enough palace dramas and his thoughts were too shallow.

Gu Lieqi had never thought that such a thing would happen in the third family, and that the third wife had become so wild. Gu Lieqi was so angry that he fainted. He saw the changes in the person beside him, but he had never thought deeply about it. They were a poor couple who supported each other through the most difficult years, but lost themselves in wealth. He was heartbroken and regretful that his carelessness almost dragged the whole family into an irretrievable situation.

Yan Qing confirmed the cause of the disease with just one glance, and quickly gave him an injection on the spot. Gu Liqi didn't even have time to paralyze himself for a quarter of an hour before he woke up. He knelt there with his head down, feeling extremely frustrated. He couldn't control his wife and didn't take good care of his children. His life was already dark.

The two sisters-in-law were puzzled. They were typical rural women who regarded supporting their husbands and raising children as their greatest goal in life. They could not understand the thoughts of the third brother's wife. In their eyes, Hao Ge'er and Xian'er were the best children in the world, and the third brother was also a promising man. With a rich family, outstanding children, and a man who held up the sky, what else could be unsatisfactory in such a life? Is it really that good to be a daughter of a noble family?

The other younger generations of the Gu family couldn't understand why the Third Aunt, who they always thought was generous, kind, well-educated and well-mannered, became the stranger in Qiao Gao's mouth. Gu Tai was very disappointed. She always thought that this daughter-in-law was the best, but she was very upset when she was so outstanding that she had evil intentions.

Old Master Gu was the calmest one. He didn't have any complicated emotions, nor did he show too much disappointment or anything else. He just asked Qiao Gao calmly, "Did the Du family do something unspeakable?"

Everyone who should understand this understood. Du Xianniang was filled with shame and grief. Although she had never actually betrayed Gu Lieqi, she did have that kind of dirty thought. She thought that man truly admired her, but in the end... Haha, it was her fault for being too stupid and ignorant. She couldn't open her mouth to defend herself.

Qiao Gao shook his head: "No."

Grandpa Gu heaved a sigh of relief: "Well. That's good. Du, let me ask you one question now, are you still willing to be my Gu family's daughter-in-law?"

Du Xianniang burst into tears. She looked at her father-in-law's half-white hair with tearful eyes and choked up, "Dad, Xianniang was wrong. Xianniang is willing. Xianniang will spend the rest of her life to atone for her sins."

Grandpa Gu nodded, and then said to Gu Lieqi: "Old Third, don't look so lifeless. Husband and wife are one body. You are also half responsible for the mistakes made by Dushi. If you were good enough, how could Dushi have such thoughts? To put it bluntly, you are not working hard enough. Water flows to the bottom, and people go to the top. There is nothing wrong with Dushi wanting to have a better life, but she just used her thoughts in the wrong place. There is no right or wrong between you two. Live a good life from now on."

Gu Liqi nodded randomly. He didn't want to think about anything now.

The old man walked up to Gu Xihao and his sister, touched their heads and said, "Children, no one is perfect. It is a great virtue to return to the right path after straying. In this world, tolerance is greatness. Don't be angry, don't be upset, don't be angry. You have a bright future ahead of you, and your vision should be broader than that of ordinary people. Let go of what you should let go of, and be tolerant of what you should be tolerant of. Having both parents and a harmonious family is the foundation for a person to stand firm. Do you understand?"

Gu Xixian felt complicated. She had always known that the old man was the smartest and most insightful one in the family. With just a few words, he glued together a family that was about to fall apart. Her brother had already embarked on a career in politics, and the harmony of the family was also crucial to his future. She couldn't and shouldn't ignore this. Even if Du Xianniang had made a thousand mistakes, it was a fact that she was used by others. Well, the grace of giving birth to her is always there, and it didn't cause any substantial harm to her, so let it go.

"Grandpa, we understand." Gu Xixian winked at him mischievously: "With Grandpa here, we won't suffer any loss."

Grandpa Gu finally smiled a little, tapped her forehead and said, "Yes, as long as Grandpa is here, no one can turn the world upside down in this family. Hao'er, what do you think?"

Looking at his father who hung his head in silence and his mother with tears in her eyes, Gu Xihao felt sad, but still nodded.

"That's it, then. I'm tired too. Girl, Hao, accompany me to have a rest." Gu Teng waved at them and took them away. He really didn't want to see the two little kids being embarrassed here.

Gu Xixian and Gu Xihao quickly got up and led the group towards the rooms that had been arranged for them in the house.

After watching them leave, everyone in the Gu family's old house fell silent for a while. Grandpa Gu frowned and said in a slightly tired tone: "What happened today, you have heard it in your ears and rotted in your hearts, that's it. If it gets spread, you can't bear the consequences. I don't need to tell you that the ancestors who came today, given their importance to Hao Ge'er and Xian Yatou, if the slightest word against them gets out, they will be deposed at best, or even killed at worst. Think about it yourself, and don't blame me for speaking harshly, the truth is more serious than what I said. The methods of the superiors are beyond our imagination."

Everyone nodded quickly.

"Alas, the ancestors came with us this time, probably because they are very disappointed in us. It seems that Miss Xian must have suffered a lot of grievances that we don't know about, otherwise, they wouldn't have come out in person." The old man sighed. He saw through things better than anyone else present: "Ask Qiao Gao who is beside the ancestors some other day and ask him to tell you about Miss Xian's life over there and what she has to face every day."
