“Do you know what you’re talking about?!” Gu Jian didn’t expect Gu Yuan to say such words. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Gu Yuan smiled proudly and sneered. “It’s also to prevent Great Madam from reporting me for no reason.”

“I’m a man. It’s fine if I’m criticized by others, but if Madam suddenly goes to report my sister another day, 1 won’t let it slide. Girls are like porcelain and are easily broken. You can’t b.u.mp into them.”

“Ridiculous!” Gu Jian slammed the coffee table, causing the teacup to tremble slightly.

Gu Yuan was clearly saying that porcelain shouldn’t be touched by rotten tiles. If Gu Yanfei was porcelain, then who was rotten tile?!

“Gu Yuan, you killed the magistrate and caused trouble for the family. Your grandmother apologized in place of you with a loving heart, but you’re holding a grudge against your elders!” Gu Jian called out his name sternly. His face was so dark that ink was about to drip out.

Gu Yuan was about to say something else when he felt his right sleeve tighten. In the next moment, he saw Gu Yanfei say with a faint smile, “Brother, I met Brother Xiao at the martial arts arena today. You haven’t seen him for a while, right? It’s only been a few months, but Brother Xiao has already grown to be as tall as me.”

The girl spoke unhurriedly. Her voice was crisp and bright, like a gentle spring breeze brushing across an ice-covered lake, or like a pool of spring water that was about to break through the ice.

Anyone else would probably think that Gu Yanfei and Gu Xiao had grown up together and had a deep sibling relationship.

“…” Madam w.a.n.g’s plump body tensed up as she recalled how Gu Xiao’s face had been cut by Gu Yanfei’s arrow today.

She only had Brother Xiao as her legitimate son.

Madam w.a.n.g panicked. Using the coffee table as a cover, she secretly pulled Gu Jian’s sleeve.

Hearing Gu Yanfei mention the martial arts arena, Gu Jian’s heart skipped a beat. He looked back and forth at the siblings and felt his right shoulder and forearm start to ache.

Ever since he was injured in the martial arts arena, he couldn’t use his right arm at all. He was afraid that he would never be able to draw the bow and shoot an arrow again.

His niece was the most scheming and arrogant. Now that she had the Eldest Prince as her backing, she was even more lawless. If this pair of siblings were ruthless and hurt their son’s right arm, could their son still be the heir?!

Just thinking about it made Gu Jian’s hair stand on end, and he panicked.

This pair of siblings could no longer stay in the Marquis Mansion. It was better to chase out more scourges like this. Even if the separation of the family would attract some gossip, it was better than losing everything for a small gain.

The couple quickly exchanged glances and came to a decision.

Gu Jian coughed dryly and said firmly, “Alright, since you siblings insist on doing things your own way, let’s split up.”

The muscles on Gu Jian’s cheeks were tense, but he was actually relieved.

In the past eight years, he had exhausted himself playing the piano for the Marquis Mansion. He had fought steadily and put in a lot of effort before the Marquis Mansion gradually walked out of the valley and showed signs of making a comeback.

However, there was a corner in the depths of his heart that was always worried. He was worried that the Marquis Mansion that he had painstakingly supported would be reaped by Gu Yuan. When he dreamt of it at night, he had dreamed of this scene a few times…

A mother knew her son best. Madam Gu actually knew the knot in her son’s heart. Today, before Madam Gu entered the palace, she specially comforted him.

“Ah Jian, this Marquis Mansion is already yours. No one can take it away!”

“As long as the news that Gu Ce is the son of a concubine spreads, the eldest branch will be a concubine’s branch. There will be no inheritance rights at all.”

Gu Jian also knew that Madam Gu was right, but Gu Ce was a shadow that had loomed over him for more than 30 years. Gu Ce’s son was in the Marquis Mansion, reminding him over and over again that there was still a eldest branch in the Marquis Mansion.

Back then, he wasn’t as good as Gu Ce.

Now, his son was inferior to Gu Ce’s son.

As long as Gu Yuan was in the Marquis Mansion, he would be a hidden danger that couldn’t be eliminated!

Splitting up was the best way.

Once the Marquis Mansion split up and the eldest branch was separated, then no matter how much the Emperor protected and indulged the Eldest Prince, he wouldn’t agree to pa.s.s the t.i.tle of Marquis of Dingyuan to the nephews of the split up family.

Only by splitting up the family could the Marquis Mansion completely cut ties with the eldest branch and cut ties with them.

Madam w.a.n.g and Gu Jian were husband and wife, so she could vaguely guess what her husband was thinking.

“Marquis,” Madam w.a.n.g was afraid that something would happen if she delayed any longer, so she suggested with a serious expression, “Since we’ve decided to split up, it’s better to do it sooner rather than later.”

She tried her best to signal Gu Jian with her eyes. She was already a little impatient.

Gu Jian had the same thought. He nodded and said, “1’11 send someone to invite the patriarch and elders over now..”
