Chapter 93 Shameless? I learned it all from you!
Zhang calmed down her anger, forced herself to calm down, and bargained with Gu Liansheng.
"It's still unknown whether my son can live long in this state. Even if he dies now, it won't be a loss. After all, I've protected him for so many years. I have no regrets!"
"Our Lin family is a family of farmers and scholars after all. We never expected to be bullied and humiliated by your Gu family today! We might as well risk our lives and drag your Gu family into exile with us!"
"By then, your Boss Gu will have a daughter-in-law who is a thief and exiled! Your precious son will have a mother who is a thief and exiled! You and your son will be completely cut off from the path of the imperial examination!"
"And all the girls and boys in this room of yours, I'll make sure none of you can get married, and none of you can get married! After you die, your Gu family will be ashamed to face our ancestors, and your descendants won't be able to hold their heads up!"
Although Zhang's words were exaggerated, if you think about it carefully, as long as Zhang insisted in the yamen that Wei had stolen the silver with her, no matter whether Wei could be found or not, as long as the crime was established, Gu Liansheng and his son would no longer have the possibility of taking the imperial examination!
The two elders of the Gu family and Gu Liansheng also figured this out. Their faces suddenly darkened and they glared at Zhang with unfriendly eyes.
Zhang was completely unaware, and her resentful gaze swept towards Gu Tang and Gu Lianshan. "We were husband and wife after all, but I never thought you would order your daughter to poison her own mother! Don't even think about denying it, Brother Lang and Sister Yue can testify! Then, neither you nor your daughter will be able to escape! I'll watch you all being beheaded!"
Wow! Is this dragging her father, Gu Lianshan, into this?
Gu Tang spread his hands in a very naive manner: "You probably don't understand the law. When you get to the government office, those two Lin family bastards are just like you, all thieves and criminals! What these criminals say is not counted.
Furthermore, you said I poisoned you? I also said that your conspiracy to commit theft was exposed, and in order to get away, you conspired to frame me, a little girl, for trying to strangle you!
You and I both have mouths. If you open your mouth and talk nonsense, I will open my mouth and talk nonsense too! Think about it, do the officials in the government believe you or me?
Zhang's face turned pale. "Shameless thing! But you're so good at talking!"
"I learned all this from you." Gu Tang smiled at her. "You remarried with three children in your arms, and colluded with your ex-in-laws to steal the Gu family's property. In terms of shamelessness, who can compare to you?"
Knowing that Zhang was very proud, Gu Tang's words were like trampling on her face.
Zhang was so angry that her whole body was shaking and her vision was getting darker and darker.
Gu Tang refused to let her go and pushed her father forward, saying, "Drag her out and borrow an ox cart so we can go to the government office! I want her to see for herself today! White can turn black, and black can turn white!"
What is white and black?
Gu Lianshan was completely bewildered as he was forcibly pushed in front of Zhang. He asked Gu Tang blankly, "Are you really going to the government office?"
Gu Tang glared at him and said, "Go! Whoever doesn't go will die a miserable death!"
Oh well! This is just another act of anger!
Gu Lianshan couldn't afford to offend her, so he could only reach out and pull Zhang as he was told.
Zhang's back instantly broke out in a cold sweat! A flash of confusion flashed in his eyes.
How could this happen?
Logically speaking, this damn girl should be scared after hearing what she just said! Why is she so fearless?
Zhang didn't understand and thought Gu Tang hadn't heard clearly, so she emphasized again in a slightly confused tone: "Think it over! You're a girl! Regardless of whether the officials in the yamen believe me or not, if you, a girl without a family, go to the yamen, and the news gets out, you're shameless! In the future, it will be difficult for you to get married!"
"If marriage is difficult, then let's not talk about it. My father said he will support me for the rest of my life!" Seeing her father hesitating, Gu Tang walked up to Zhang impatiently, grabbed her collar, and dragged her out.
Zhang suddenly panicked!
Gu Tang's unexpected reaction not only panicked Zhang, but also Gu Liansheng. He spoke urgently to stop her, "Second brother! Stop your daughter! What are you doing? This is just a family matter, why did you have to bring it to the government? If outsiders knew about it, would you still be able to face people?"
"Hey! Uncle, why are you so panicked? Look at your anxious face. Didn't you just say that my aunt couldn't have stolen the silver? Since she didn't take it, why are you so panicked? As for being embarrassed, my father doesn't feel embarrassed, so who in this courtyard dares to feel embarrassed?"
Gu Tang didn't have to drag Zhang to see the official. She just wanted to try and see who was telling the truth between Zhang and Gu Liansheng.
It now seems that what Zhang said must be true.
Judging from Gu Liansheng's reaction, he was probably aware of Wei's theft of the silver.
Come to think of it, with Wei's brain, what could he possibly have hidden in his hands? No matter how good the things were, once they fell into Wei's hands, they would eventually become Gu Liansheng's.
Gu Liansheng was still a little scared of Gu Tang at this moment, and didn't dare to argue with her. He just showed off his authority as the eldest brother to Gu Lianshan: "Second brother! The eldest brother is like a father! Do you listen to what I say or not?"
Gu Lianshan rolled his eyes: "If Daddy is dead, I would have no objection to your saying that an elder brother is like a father. But Daddy is still alive, how can you be called an elder brother like a father?
Besides, your daily behavior is nothing like that of an elder brother or a father, but rather like that of a successful villain!"
"You!" Gu Liansheng was furious and turned to complain to Old Man Gu: "Dad! Look at how arrogant the second son is now! He doesn't even take me seriously!"
Gu Lianshan was unhappy with this: "I never took you seriously before!"
Gu Liansheng's face flushed red, his head began to feel dizzy again, his eyes flickered slightly, and he leaned on his son, deliberately groaning loudly in pain.
The two elders of the Gu family immediately changed their expressions and spoke with anxious concern: "But you feel dizzy again?!"
Gu Liansheng nodded weakly: "The doctor told me not to get angry before, and now I am angry again, and the dizziness is coming back..."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry! Let your father scold your second brother, and I guarantee that he will vent your anger!" Feng patted his back to comfort him, with a worried look on her face.
Gu Liansheng shook his head. "My second brother is not wrong, but... Mother, regardless of whether Wei stole the silver or not, as long as my sister-in-law insists on it, I will have to throw this dirty water on my son. Then, people's gossip will be terrifying, and my son won't be able to explain himself even if he has eight mouths!"
The four words "people's words are scary" pierced Feng's heart. No one understood better than her how scary these four words "people's words are scary".
"Don't worry, this matter with your sister-in-law is a family matter! Mother won't let her make a fuss! Go back to your room and lie down. Mother is here for you, so you don't have to worry..."
Feng supported Gu Liansheng and sent him back to the east wing.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tang immediately let go of Zhang, pulled her father aside, and asked quietly, "Grandma, you've made it clear what you said. Can you stop it?"
Gu Lianshan glanced down at her and said, "Tell me the truth, do you really want to report this to the police, or do you want to use this opportunity to cause a big scene and get some benefits?"
