Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1248 - 517: Good Intentions Don’t Always Bring Good Results (2)

Gu Jianzhang stood respectfully after saluting Mr. Yu Shan.

Mr. Yu Shan let the two sit down and then said, "I know all about what happened at home today. Madam Miao has made so many mistakes, and you just let her off lightly like this?" Doing wrong and taking a vow to get away with it, there is no such good thing.

Seeing Dong Yuan remain silent, Gu Jianzhang had no choice but to speak up: "Father, Madam Miao is at fault, but if we dismiss her just like that, outsiders will certainly gossip. Moreover, Madam Miao has also borne two children. If she is dismissed, what would happen to the two children?" With Madam Miao dismissed, the status of the two children would be very awkward. So, upon receiving the news, Gu Jianzhang did not agree to divorce her. But he thought that Madam Miao should be sent to the Family Temple. However, before the couple could agree, they were summoned by Mr. Yu Shan.

Mr. Yu Shan smiled bitterly in his heart. He used to think Gu Jianzhang had a good temperament, but after many incidents, he realized he was wrong. On that day, he valued Gu Jianzhang’s simplicity and, combined with an old friend’s assurance, he married his daughter to Gu Jianzhang. But he forgot that simple individuals are easily influenced by others, and he has suffered enough from this. Mr. Yu Shan simply stopped questioning Gu Jianzhang and instead asked Dong Yuan, "How do you intend to handle this?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Dong Yuan said in a low voice, "For the sake of the two children, we can’t dismiss her. I want to send her to the Family Temple."

Mr. Yu Shan didn’t understand Dong Yuan’s temperament. Saying now to send her to the Family Temple, in a few days, as soon as the two children plead, she will surely relent and bring her back. Mr. Yu Shan smiled bitterly. If only Dong Yuan had half the capability of Yueyao, he wouldn’t have to worry constantly.

Thinking of this, Mr. Yu Shan resolved in his heart: "I have an idea here, I don’t know if you will listen to me."

Dong Yuan and Gu Jianzhang immediately agreed, "Father, please tell us."

Mr. Yu Shan’s meaning was clear. He wanted Gu Zhe and Gu Li to split the family. With such a troublemaker around, the brothers are sure to become strangers in the future. By splitting the family now, they can still retain some brotherly affection, fearing that in a few years, there will be none left. Of course, Mr. Yu Shan had some selfish concerns. With a brother and sister-in-law like Gu Li and Madam Miao, they are bound to hold Gu Zhe back in the future. In that case, he would help Gu Zhe eliminate this hidden danger.

Dong Yuan exclaimed in disbelief, "Father..."

Gu Jianzhang’s face also changed drastically, "Father, Zhe’er and Li’er are still young, how can we separate them?" Back then, the four brothers were forced to separate, but separating now, what does that amount to? They are still young, and there is no reason to split the family.

This time, Mr. Yu Shan was very firm: "In this matter, I am the decision-maker. I will write to Zhe’er now, asking him and Madam Yao to return. If Zhe’er cannot leave his duties, it’s the same if Madam Yao comes back." Indecision in the face of crisis brings chaos. Rather than having Gu Zhe and Madam Yao blame Dong Yuan in the future, it’s better for him to be the villain now and settle this matter.

Gu Jianzhang was unwilling, and Dong Yuan was also reluctant.

Mr. Yu Shan looked at the two coldly and said, "If you still acknowledge me as your father, let me take charge of this matter. Otherwise, I will pretend I never had this daughter." Mr. Yu Shan’s words indicated that if they refuted him on this matter, he would no longer recognize his daughter and son-in-law.

Looking at her father’s indifferent expression, Dong Yuan knew her father was genuinely angered by Madam Miao this time, otherwise, he would not have spoken so harshly.

Gu Jianzhang lifted his head and said, "Father, I..."

Mr. Yu Shan sneered, "What? Do you have a stance to oppose? Don’t forget, last year, rather than saying you split the family, you were more like being kicked out." Mr. Yu Shan was silent at that time, not because he wasn’t angry. But he thought the separation would bring peace, so he didn’t hold grudges.

Hearing this, Gu Jianzhang’s face flushed red. Don’t hit someone’s face or expose someone’s shortcomings. Previously, his father-in-law spoke kindly to him, but this time he was genuinely harsh.

No matter how upset Gu Jianzhang was, he didn’t dare to speak now. Last year when they split the family, they didn’t split even a piece of Silver, and now he is entirely dependent on his father-in-law and wife for his livelihood. No, to be precise, now he depends on his father-in-law, after all, his wife’s dowry was also given by his father-in-law.

This time, Mr. Yu Shan acted decisively, writing the letter in front of the two and promptly sending it out.
