Disappointment flashed past great grandpa's eyes as he sighed.

"Gu Shen, stop talking nonsense. This is not the old society, what's the use of using your life to guarantee it?" Gu Yuan said in an ice-cold voice, his face had a look of disappointment and anger, he really wanted to ruthlessly beat Gu Shen up.

If Gu Shen said this in front of his family, it was basically ruining his own good impression.

"I'm not talking nonsense." Gu Shen's deep and magnetic voice slowly rang out: "Something has happened, and I have to take responsibility, after all, my granny was killed because of me organising the wedding, so I am also an indirect killer, and I am sorry for granny, but granny was not killed by Ye Chaxu, and I do not have any substantial evidence to prove that Ye Chaxu was the culprit. If you all pin this on Ye Chaxu, then it would be unfair to Ye Chaxu and his granny, which is why I said, using my life as a guarantee, I hope you all can believe in Ye Chaxu.

"Then if Ye Chaxu is really the murderer, do you mean that you will pay with your life for your grandmother's death?" Gu Zhongshan raised his eyebrow, taking the words Gu Shen had just said seriously.

Gu Shen did not hesitate and directly replied.

When everyone heard this, they sucked in another breath of cold air.

For a girl to put his life on the line for Gu Shen, wasn't that a little too reckless?

great grandpa took a deep breath, and looked down in disappointment.

Actually, he had always been optimistic about Gu Shen, but what Gu Shen had done recently had truly disappointed him.

Not only did Gu Shen not marry a suitable wife, he even married a notorious woman with no background. He had even done things that were not within reason time and time again just for a woman.

He was disappointed to think that a good heir had failed because of a woman.

Moreover, that woman had caused the death of his most beloved daughter-in-law, so he was extremely displeased.

He stood up, took his walking stick and walked towards Gu Shen, then stood in front of Gu Shen, raised his walking stick and hit Gu Shen's back.

Gu Shen clenched his teeth, and endured the pain without making a sound.

This kind of pain was something he had always endured and was already used to.

Grandpa Gu and Gu Yuan glanced at each other indifferently and did not say anything.

Zhou Lin's heart ached, but she endured, because she did not have the qualifications to speak.

great grandpa's strength was increasing, but Gu Shen's back had already been broken and blood was flowing out, staining his white shirt.

Don't look at how old great grandpa was, his physical strength was very good. Even though he was old, he could walk by himself.

Although it hurt, Gu Shen kneeled up straight, not wanting to beg for mercy. He did not make a sound, and looked at a certain place with a determined gaze.

Seeing that he had beaten enough, great grandpa kept his walking stick.

"After a month of reflection on the wall, you are not allowed to go out for a month." The great grandpa said coldly, his cold voice carrying an unquestionable order.

Hearing that, Gu Shen frowned, and became serious: "great grandpa, my granny's funeral is about to begin, let me send my granny off, then we can accept punishment!"

great grandpa did not reply, his face was dark.

"Dad, you've already fought, so it's about time for your anger to dissipate." When Grandpa Gu saw that Gu Shen had been beaten up, his heart ached. He begged for mercy and said, "We need Gu Shen to take care of the funeral himself, so Dad will help. After the funeral, we can punish Gu Shen!"

great grandpa was silent, but his face was even darker than the night sky. He exuded a strong dark aura, as though he was a devil that had just walked out of hell.

"Grandfather, my mother dotes on Gu Shen. If he doesn't attend the funeral, my mother would be very sad." Gu Yuan also opened his mouth to plead for mercy, he did not wish for Gu Shen to be really locked up, because once he was locked up, Gu Zhongshan would win.

"Grandfather, I also think that the punishment should be after the funeral!" Gu Lin begged for mercy. As the Third Uncle, he would speak when the time was right.

"That's right!" I think Gu Shen was also deceived, after the funeral, let him reflect on it! " He was the Fourth Uncle, so he would often follow the flow. Seeing that everyone was pleading for Gu Shen, he also followed suit.

When the great grandpa heard it, he hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.

His daughter-in-law's funeral had not yet begun, so he really couldn't overdo it.

He waved his hand, signaling Gu Shen to leave.

Gu Shen nodded, stood up slowly, and left with slow steps.

Seeing that, Gu Shaoting's face exposed a smile.

"Shaotian, you should get up as well!" great grandpa said as he looked at Gu Shaoting.

Gu Shaoting smiled slightly, and said politely: "Thank you, great grandpa." Then, he stood up and walked in front of Gu Zhongshan.

"Dad, the room is already prepared for you. Go and rest!" Grandpa Gu walked over to great grandpa and held onto his arm: "I also have something that I want to say to you."

great grandpa looked at the hand in his hand with a sharp gaze, a look of hesitation flashed across his face before he nodded.

Thus, the Grandpa Gu supported the great grandpa and left.

After the two of them left, Gu Yuan looked towards Gu Zhongshan, Gu Shaoting, Gu Lin, and Gu Ye An. He said coldly, "Your rooms are on the third floor, you can have any one of them. With that, he left.

Seeing that, Zhou Lin quickly followed Gu Yuan.

Gu Zhongshan was so angry that her face turned green, this attitude, was it obvious that she did not welcome him!

However, over the years, he and Gu Yuan had fought for so long, he had long gotten used to this kind of attitude and treatment, because this was how the brothers got along.

Gu Lin and Gu Ye An looked at each other, then left indifferently.

"Dad, as long as I sit in that position, we'll eliminate all of them from the Gu family." Gu Shaoting said gloomily, his eyes were filled with scheming, his existence was precisely for the position of the successor.

That position had been something he'd yearned for ever since he was young.

"That's right!" As long as you sit on it, you will have limitless wealth. Even if you stay home and become a worm for the rest of your life, you won't need to worry about food and clothing. " Gu Zhongshan said with a look of yearning, and he also very much wished that Gu Shaoting could sit on top of it.

As descendants of the Gu family, they had been taught to fight for that position ever since they were young. Therefore, the descendants of the Gu family had always worked hard for it, losing the affection between brothers.

As time passed, everyone became numb to it …

Gu Shen's room.

Zhou Lin did not knock on the door, and immediately pushed it open.

After Gu Shen heard this, he immediately donned the white shirt, but the injury had caused him a groan.

He looked towards the door, and upon seeing that it was Zhou Lin, his tensed expression immediately relaxed.

Zhou Lin held onto the medicine box in his hand, and looked at Gu Shen with an anxious expression: "Son, how are you?"

Gu Shen shook his head, and laughed lightly: "I'm fine."

"Take off your clothes, I'll apply the medicine." Zhou Lin worriedly looked at Gu Shen's back. She came here to drug Gu Shen.

Gu Shen smiled and rejected, "No need, Mom."

After Zhou Lin heard this, he did not say anything but started to cry.
