Chapter 218: 134 The Real Culprit (First Update)_2 _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

Lady Gu felt a sharp pain in her chest. She rushed over, knelt on the mattress, and cradled her precious grandson in her arms, “Chenglin, what happened to you? Who hurt you like this?”

As soon as Gu Chenglin saw Lady Gu, tears welled up in his eyes: “Grandmother, you must stand up for me——”

Gu Chenglin shared his horrific experience with Lady Gu. He knew his grandmother favoured him, she would believe whatever he said. So he let his words flow freely, sparing no thought for logic.

“I didn’t touch him, I didn’t even touch him. He recognized me as his third brother, held a grudge against me for bullying him when we were kids and called his sister to beat me up!”

“That girl, raised in the countryside, is as strong as a bull from farming and feeding pigs, she doesn’t know how to control her strength!”

“Considering she’s my sister, I didn’t want to retaliate… wu wu…grandmother…”

“As a result, my eldest brother even punished me…”

“My eldest brother doesn’t believe me…”

“Grandmother…ah—”

Gu Chenglin cried his heart out, his tears and snot blending together.

Lady Gu’s heart was in pieces!

To the guards outside, she said, “If you don’t let me take them both away today, I’ll die right here!”

The guards were also in a difficult position.

They couldn’t disobey the command of the heir apparent, but they couldn’t let Lady Gu stir things up here neither.

Fortunately, Gu Changqing was just handling a minor matter and soon returned home.

After hearing the news, he went to the ancestral hall.

Lady Gu did value her legitimate eldest grandson, but over the years, Gu Changqing trained with the old lord and seldom spent time around Lady Gu.

Unlike his two younger brothers who were adept at acting like spoiled brats, thus his relationship with Lady Gu wasn’t as close as theirs.

Considering that he was the eldest brother, Lady Gu was furious at Gu Changqing for treating his younger brother so harshly, and she even wanted to punish him with house rules, “Look at what you’ve done to your brother!”

Gu Changqing solemnly said, “Grandmother, the ancestral hall is cold. You should go back to Songhe Court before you catch a cold.”

Lady Gu snapped back, “You’re aware that the ancestral hall is cold! Aren’t you afraid your younger brother might catch a cold? Look at what he’s been reduced to. Instead of taking revenge for him, you are punishing him instead. Is that how you play your role as the eldest brother?”

Gu Changqing coldly glanced at Gu Chenglin.

Gu Chenglin, feeling guilty, lowered his head, not daring to meet his elder brother’s sharp gaze.
