Chapter 297 How could you do this to me?
Gu Qingyan didn't want to bother with it. Anyway, with Gu Qingzhe around, the doctor must have been called long ago, so there was no need for them to worry.
"After she's seen the doctor, let's send her away. I don't want my father to be upset when he comes back and sees her like this."
As Gu Qingzhe watched the two walk right past him, ignoring Yun Wei's serious injuries, he felt they were incredibly cold-blooded.
"She's our own sister! How can you be so cold-hearted?"
“I know I’m not as capable as you guys. I listen to whatever you say all the time, but I just can’t stand how cold-blooded you are.”
"Now that Yunwei is injured, you can be so heartless. If I were the one who gets into trouble in the future, would you also be able to tell me to get out without any mercy?" Gu Qingzhe asked incredulously.
Gu Qingyan felt an urge to slap his stupid younger brother away when he heard his words; he was just annoyed by him.
Gu Qingxiu paused slightly, looking at his younger brother's injured face, and couldn't help but say, "Third brother, if it were twenty years ago, I could forgive you and understand you in this state, but how old are you now?"
"Our child is old enough to take the imperial examinations, and you can't even distinguish right from wrong? You're easily manipulated. What else do you expect us to do?"
When he mentioned the word "exploitation," he glanced at Gu Yunwei, who couldn't help but feel guilty after noticing his gaze.
She never dared to get too close to Gu Qingyan since she was a child, because it seemed that all her tricks could be easily exposed in front of him, and he was not as indulgent as Gu Qingzhe. It was even more so when she grew up.
Gu Qingzhe saw a hint of disappointment and even a touch of irony in Gu Qingxiu's eyes. He couldn't help but wonder if he had really done something wrong.
But what did he do wrong?
Are we really going to just stand by and watch my sister live or die, and watch her end up on the streets?
He's not such a heartless person. Besides, once this reputation gets out, it won't do the Gu family any good!
"Third brother, my eldest and second brothers are still angry with me. I haven't dared to come back all these years, and I'm afraid they won't allow me to stay here any longer. I should leave."
Gu Yunwei's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked extremely pitiful.
Gu Qingzhe felt a pang of pity, but also a surge of anger. He said, "If you don't want to stay, then don't stay. It's not a big deal. I have a courtyard outside, so you can come and stay with me there!"
They don't acknowledge you as their sister, but I do!
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunwei was overjoyed and quickly said, "Third Brother, I knew you were the best to me. There is no one in the world who is better to me than you."
Xiang Heng has become quite successful now; he will soon be serving as an official in the court. I will definitely make sure he takes good care of you then.”
Gu Qingzhe smiled as he thought of Qin Xiangheng. "Xiangheng is indeed promising. Once he becomes an official, you'll have a powerful backer. But what was Xiangheng doing while you and Shuangshuang were in prison?"
Gu Yunwei's expression stiffened slightly. She was also wondering why Xiang Heng hadn't made a move.
"Xiang Heng must have been shocked to hear this news, but now that I'm out of prison, he'll be very happy to know. Why don't you send someone to pass on a message for me later, Third Brother?"
"it is good."
As Gu Yunwei moved into the courtyard outside Gu Qingzhe's house, she couldn't help but sigh, "I really shouldn't have married Qin Zheng back then!"
Neither the Song family's residence nor the Gu family's residence is as grand as General Qin's mansion!
Think about Liu Ruyan, who is adorned with gold and silver and enjoys the best of everything. Then look at herself, who not only lives worse than the Gu family in the Qin family, but has now been divorced!
Qin family.
Qin Zheng was surprised when he learned that Gu Yunwei had been released from prison. He had miscalculated this time. He thought that Gu Yunwei would not have a chance to get out and might even implicate him. That's why he divorced his wife without hesitation to avoid being implicated.
When Qin Zhiyuan and his brother heard the news, their hearts sank. They had finally managed to drive Gu Yunwei out of the house, but would their father bring her back now?
"Father, I heard that someone from the Gu family came to deliver a message, asking Xiang Heng to go there. Does this mean that he has been accepted back by the Gu family?" Qin Zhiyuan asked tentatively.
Qin Zheng asked the servant who came to announce the arrival without showing any emotion, "Was the person sent by the Third Master of the Gu family?"
"Exactly."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disdain flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes. "The least useful member of the Gu family is the third son. If the eldest or second son sent someone, that would represent the Gu family's attitude."
Sending someone from the third brother is useless, but Xiang Heng, you should still go.
Over the years, he had seen Gu Yunwei come up with ideas, and he had urged her more than once. If the Gu family were willing to help him, he would definitely rise to the top. But what happened in the end?
Let alone help him, his father-in-law wouldn't even bother to look at him!
When Gu Yunwei went to prison, the Gu family didn't even plan to help, clearly treating her as if they no longer had a daughter, and there was no way they could get her back.
Qin Xiangheng's feelings were also complicated. Now he saw that all the other candidates who participated in the imperial examinations in the same batch had been given official positions, but he had not been assigned one yet.
Although he was indeed talented, the imperial court valued not only talent but also character. Even though he was able to participate in the imperial examination thanks to the Gu family's intervention, after this incident, coupled with Yun Xiwan's commotion, his reputation was completely ruined.
He studied hard for many years in order to become an official in the imperial court. If this glimmer of hope is lost, what hope will he have in the future?
Now his family can't help him at all, and his mother and sister have been imprisoned one after another. He has been dragged down and has no future left.
This is why he didn't visit them at all after learning they were in prison!
Look at Song Yi'an's sister. Not only did she get on the good side of the King of Chu, but she also befriended several other families. And look at his sister, all she does is cause trouble all day long!
Now even he himself is afraid, afraid of becoming the next Lin Zhiyue.
"Then I'll go and take a look." Qin Xiangheng agreed. He had to try and see if the Gu family could help him!
When Qin Xiangheng saw Gu Yunwei's disfigured face, he was shocked. "Mother, what happened to you...?"
As soon as Gu Yunwei saw her son, she cried and told him all the grievances she had suffered, "My son, your mother has really suffered!"
"Xiang Heng, your mother has had a hard time these days. As her son, you should take good care of her," Gu Qingzhe said.
Qin Xiangheng didn't care about Gu Yunwei's injuries; he was more concerned about whether the Gu family could help him. He put on an indignant expression, but then slumped down in dejection.
"Old Madam Lin has indeed gone too far. I do want to take good care of my mother, but now that the imperial examinations have been over for several days, I see that everyone else has been assigned official positions, but I have not received any news yet."
If I can't become an official, how can I support my mother?
"These past few days I've been trying to find a way to save my mother and Shuangshuang, but all my classmates are trying to curry favor with Song Yi'an and don't want to pay any attention to me."
Not only was my father heartless, but even my two older brothers were mocking me. I was enduring all this humiliation!
