The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216: 133 Being Tough for Mother (Second Revision)

Gu Changqing hoped it wasn’t the way he thought, “Not only did he beat you up, but did he also tie you up with a rope, locked you in the firewood room, and refused to let you out?”

Gu Chenglin was taken aback, “Big Brother, how did you know?”

Gu Changqing’s fist clenched tightly, suppressing the bubbling anger within him, he asked, “Was it a young girl who beat you up?”

Gu Chenglin was even more confused.

Could it be that his big brother was so godly?

Could he tell just by looking that a woman was the one who had caused his injuries?

At this point, what did Gu Changqing not understand?

As he surmised, it was initially this brat who bullied their brother in such a way, and they retaliated in kind.

Having the audacity to blatantly claim he was innocent!

“How on earth did the Marquis Residence raise such a good-for-nothing like you?” After saying that, Gu Changqing gave him a good sorting out without further ado.

Gu Chenglin was dumbfounded.

What just happened?

Why was he beaten up again?

Having been beaten, Gu Chenglin still didn’t realize that he had let the cat out of the bag. He continued to put on an act, “Big Brother, what are you doing? If I got beaten up, it’s my fault for being incompetent. But, who allowed our grandfather to only teach you martial arts and not me and second brother? If I could have beaten them back by myself, would I need to come and find you?”

When it came to this, Gu Changqing was even more angered.

Was it their grandfather not teaching them martial arts? It was them who couldn’t bear the hardship!

In the past, Gu Changqing did think that their grandfather’s demand was too harsh. He could fulfil it because he had no other choice. He was the lawful eldest grandson of the Marquis Residence, and the fate of the Marquis Residence rested on his shoulders. His two younger brothers didn’t need to kill themselves over it.

But when he saw that child in the courtyard today, at the tender age of three or four, he was training harder than when he was a child, yet the child didn’t make a sound!

And nobody was forcing him!

Upon comparing them, Gu Changqing felt truly that the brothers of others’ families were different.

Gu Changqing looked at Gu Chenglin, the last strand of sympathy in him also disappeared, “Go kneel in the study room.”

Gu Chenglin wondered if he had heard wrong, “Big Brother, what did you say?”

Gu Changqing coldly replied, “I told you to go kneel in the study room!”

Gu Chenglin became angry, “Why should I kneel? I have already been beaten up like this and you still want to punish me? Are you really my big brother?”

Seeing his younger brother who had done wrong not only showed no sign of repentance but also spoke wildly, Gu Changqing’s rage surged from his heart.

When their mother died, the two younger brothers were very young. Because they were pitiful, everyone in the mansion spoiled them, especially Gu Chenglin who was almost spoiled beyond recognition.

Gu Chengfeng had slowly changed in the past few years, but once again, Gu Chenglin was as stubborn as a child, and he was no longer a real child. No one would easily forgive the mistakes he made.

“Because I am your brother, I have to discipline you! Will you go to the study room yourself, or shall I drag you there!”

“You….”

Gu Chengfeng had been eavesdropping outside the door for a while, knowing that his elder brother was about to get serious, he hurriedly came in, “Eldest brother, third brother, stop arguing!”

Seeing Gu Chengfeng, Gu Chenglin immediately felt wronged. Among the two brothers, second brother was obviously closer to him. Eldest brother was always reading endless books, practicing endless martial arts, only second brother was truly by his side.

He said, “Second brother, you judge! Eldest brother wants to punish me!”

Gu Chengfeng softly said, “You keep quiet!”

When Elder Brother punished his third brother, he had guessed that Elder Brother had figured out what happened. He had thought early on that this method was unreliable. If elder brother was so easily deceived, he wouldn’t have gained the title of Iron-faced Yama in the military camp.

Gu Chengfeng was desperately hinting at his younger brother, but Gu Chenglin, who was enraged, couldn’t take in any hints.

“Big Brother, you’re punishing me for a wild child! You will regret this! You uh uh uh uh uh uh?”

Do you know who he is?

The last sentence was timely muffled by Gu Chengfeng and could not be pronounced correctly.

Gu Chengfeng was frightened into a cold sweat.

Was his foolish third brother planning to expose Gu Yan’s identity?

Telling elder brother that he had recognized the child as Gu Yan early on, was tantamount to admitting that he was the one who started the trouble first. Furthermore, everyone in the family knew that Gu Yan had a heart condition. To lock him up in the little dark room was equivalent of taking his life!

This was not just bullying. It was premeditated murder!

Although Gu Chenglin didn’t intend to kill at that time, could Gu Chenglin make it clear?

Would elder brother believe it?

“Eldest Brother is punishing you for your own good! Look at you, you got yourself in trouble and yet still defy Eldest Brother when you come home!” Gu Chengfeng stared at Gu Chenglin, giving him ten thousand pointed glances!
