Chapter 521: My Own Way

"Third brother!"

Hearing Gu Yunji say such resolute words, Gu Yunxiao was so anxious that he stood up suddenly, and was incoherent for a while: "You...... But don't say that, you are my own brother, we are a family connected by blood, how can we not get along? What's the difference between that and severing your relationship?"

Saying that, Gu Yunxiao turned to Gu Kaizhen again, his face turned red with anger, and he scolded, "Father, you are really old and confused! The third brother didn't know how much he had suffered outside, he was poisoned by a thief, and he lay in bed for a few months before he got better, and now he has been added to the official and reunited with our family, how can he say that there is such a thing as drawing a clear line!"

"You want to let the third brother go out of the house, I don't agree! If you really want to divide it, divide all three of our brothers."

Gu Kaizhen's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Shut up! If you don't agree, you have to agree, it's not your turn to call the shots at home! I have made up my mind, and I said that if I want to give out the old three, I will give the old three points, this is for the sake of our family!"

Gu Yunji watched them arguing coldly, and said calmly, "Since the father said so, the son naturally has no objection. I already knew about the suspension of my eldest brother, and I asked the officials two days ago, saying that it was a trivial matter, and when I found out, I would let my eldest brother be reinstated."

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall had different expressions, Gu Kaizhen instantly raised his head when he heard the words, and asked urgently, "What did you say?" Can your eldest brother be reinstated? Won't he be dismissed? We were looking for Cheng Yan earlier, and he said that this matter is not his business."

Seeing Gu Kaizhen's distinct attitude, Gu Yunji smiled: "Cheng Yan didn't tell a lie, this matter is indeed not within his purview, he is His Majesty's person, and it is inconvenient to meddle in the party dispute, but you must know that I have more than one acquaintance with Cheng Yan in the Ministry of Officials."

"The official department is my teacher's former colleague, and he has a good relationship, and he also has some friendship with his son Qian Xun, so it's just a matter of saying hello to me. Even if I put all this aside, I'm still a household servant, a princeling celebrity, and the officials must still be willing to sell me a favor."

Gu Kaizhen's face was extraordinarily exciting, he was staggered, barely squeezed out two smiles, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something to Gu Yunji, but he couldn't say it.

Gu Yunji suddenly felt a little bored, he saluted Gu Kaizhen perfunctorily, and said goodbye: "Since we have already been reunited, there is no need to stay longer, it is not early, and my son's family will go back first."

With that, Gu Yunji turned around and left.

"Third brother!" Gu Yunxiao screamed, but he couldn't make Gu Yunji stop, he was anxious and angry, turned around and glanced at Gu Kaizhen angrily, and chased him out.

Gu Kaizhen's face was gloomy, and there was a faint sense of remorse in his heart, watching his two sons leave one after another.

"Third brother, third brother! You wait...... Let's listen to the eldest brother." Gu Yunxiao quickly caught up with Gu Yunji, grabbed him, and said breathlessly.

Gu Yunji paused, and his expression did not have a trace of waves: "What did the eldest brother say?"

Gu Yunxiao was stung by his eyes, and the words that came to his mouth were a little difficult: "Fang Cai...... Father's words, don't take it to heart, he was very sad during this time, first heard that you were seriously injured by Gao Shishu, and then learned that I was suspended...... He was so scared that he didn't dare to wade into the troubled waters, so he ......."

Gu Yuanhui, who was in the bureau, was not afraid, Xu Shujing, who was pulled in by his in-laws, was not afraid, his wife Xu Shuhua, daughter Gu Zhaoxi, friends Su Qi, Cheng Yan, and even Mei Feng and Xu Chengyu...... I'm not afraid of waiting, but my father who is connected by blood is afraid, how ironic is this?

Gu Yunji turned his head, and his voice was a little cold: "If the eldest brother wants to say these things to me, there is no need to say it."

Gu Yunxiao's throat choked, and it took a long time to find his voice: "...... Third brother, I can see that you have always felt uncomfortable in your heart. You blame your father for being partial, ignoring you since you were a child, and you didn't show importance until you came to prominence in the imperial examinations.

"If I were you, I'd be chilled too...... But relatives are relatives, and it is impossible to cut off the blood connection, how can you say that if you draw a clear line, you can draw a clear line, and my father is confused, so he will say such and such things."

Gu Yunxiao said, seeing Gu Yunji

His eyes were still cold, and his eyes flashed gloomily, and he said, "...... Of course, if you really don't want to live with us, I won't stop you, even if you are separated, there is no reason to completely draw a clear line since ancient times, and you can still go back and forth often during the New Year's holidays in the future."

Gu Yunji looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Big brother, you misunderstood, I didn't feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I didn't blame my father or you. The slightest mistake can lead to the collapse of the whole family, and it is normal for my father to be afraid, I can understand it."

If there is hope, there will be disappointment, if there is no expectation from the beginning, why blame?

Gu Yunji's father didn't love his mother in his previous life, he suffered a lot, in this life he came to a family with both parents and harmonious brothers and sisters, even if he was a little concubine who was ignored on the edge, this only warmth made him happy.

Later, he met his lover Xu Shuhua, and married and had a daughter with him, and the family was complete; has close friends Cheng Yan and Su Qi; There is still Xu Chengyu, his teacher who is like a parent...... He has received a lot of true affection, and he is no longer as sensitive and lacking in love as he was at the beginning.

There wasn't much intrigue in the original family, but at the same time, it wasn't much love. Gu Kaizhen himself was born as a concubine, and he has been mediocre all his life, so he has to pin his hopes of getting ahead on his children.

However, the only one who really poured all his effort and attention into Gu Kaizhen was his eldest son Gu Yunxiao, maybe this was his own son in his heart, as for Gu Yunji and others, they were just tools for him to shine on the lintel.

When he first realized this, Gu Yunji was still a little disappointed, but he quickly accepted it calmly, this was not his biological father, and it had nothing to do with him whether he was close or not. If you don't get it from the beginning, you can't talk about losing it.

The glory and face he has brought to Gu Kaizhen over the years should be regarded as repaying the grace of the original body.

Gu Yunji looked at Gu Yunxiao and smiled: "I have been working as an official outside a few years ago, and I owe a lot to my family, which I really shouldn't have, but fortunately, I have a big brother to support this family. In the future, I will continue to ask the eldest brother to do this filial piety for me, and the third brother has thanked the eldest brother here."

After that, Gu Yunji bowed solemnly to him, then called his wife and daughter, turned around and left, and never looked back.

As the sun set, the sunset dyed half of the sky red, Gu Yunji's heart suddenly felt relieved, as if he had unloaded something, and strode out of the door - since he had chosen, he should stick to the end, he still had his own way to go.
