Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Disposal
Mrs. Zhang, at a loss for words, looked at Su Yunjin!
Lord Gu Chengxiang let out a heavy snort and turned to Gu Ya, saying, “Third brother, take that scoundrel to the Magistrate right now!”
“What? Are we really going to send Changshun to the Magistrate?” Mrs. Zhang was one to protect her own, even if her son, Gu Changshun, had indeed harbored lecherous thoughts toward his own aunt, she still defended him.
She rushed forward to embrace Gu Changshun, not letting anyone touch him, “No, it can’t be done, we can’t send him to the Magistrate. Dad, even if Changshun has really made a mistake, he’s still young. What does he know? It must have been just a moment of confusion!”
“A moment of confusion?” Gu Chengxiang looked at Mrs. Zhang, his old face growing dark, “First son’s wife, third son’s wife is Changshun’s aunt by blood, and his third uncle is also the man who saved his life. Remember when Changshun was almost eaten by wolves? It was his third uncle who risked his life to save him from the jaws of the wolves! If not for his third uncle, Changshun would have been long digested in the stomach of those beasts! And look at him now? Ungrateful, harboring such vile desires towards his own aunt!”
Feeling guilty, Mrs. Zhang said, “Dad, Changshun did wrong, I agree to have him apologize to third brother’s wife. We’re all family, why must we take this to the Magistrate?”
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhang gave meaningful glances to her husband, Gu Baofu, “Husband, aren’t you going to beg Dad and third brother for mercy? Let them spare Changshun this time!”
“Dad, third brother, it’s my fault as a father for not raising Changshun well! But I beg you, please consider that this is Changshun’s first offense of confusion, and do not send him to the Magistrate! Changshun is not even married yet! If you really send him to the Magistrate, his reputation will be ruined forever!” Gu Baofu hurriedly looked to Gu Chengxiang and Gu Ya, pleading for his son.
At that moment, Su Yunjin, standing to one side, also turned her gaze to Gu Ya. Honestly, she wanted to see if Gu Ya would really forgive Gu Changshun because of his older brother and sister-in-law’s lightly put words and not deal with him further.
Feeling his wife’s gaze, Gu Ya immediately became aware of it. After a glance at her, he withdrew his gaze and said to his older brother Gu Baofu without any expression, “Big brother, you and sister-in-law need not say anymore. The matter will be dealt with as it should, according to our Gu Family village’s rules.”
According to the Gu Family village’s rules, people like Gu Changshun were to be submerged in a pig cage.
Gu Ya actually said to follow the Gu Family village’s rules?
Mrs. Zhang was so angry she nearly spit out a mouthful of blood, “Third brother, how can you be so cruel? Changshun is your own nephew? We are all part of the Gu Family, do you really need to push Changshun into a pit of fire before you’re satisfied?”
“Dad, Dad, you’re the only one who can help Changshun now, please help him, help him!” After berating Gu Ya, Mrs. Zhang turned to beg her father-in-law.
Gu Chengxiang was unmovable, his face expressionless, “First son’s wife, this matter concerns the third son’s wife, so I cannot make the decision. Let the third son decide how to deal with it!”
In an instant, Mrs. Zhang felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, chilling her to the bone, and Gu Changshun’s heart sank to the bottom.
And so, Gu Changshun was taken by Gu Ya to the Magistrate. Mrs. Zhang and Gu Baofu wanted to intervene but were powerless, and could only watch helplessly as Gu Changshun was taken to the Magistrate’s residence.
