章 390: Severe Punishment (2)

Gu Yuan didn't care about Gu Jian's reaction at all. He continued, "Second Uncle wants to split up the family."

After saying that, Gu Yuan turned to the patriarch who was lying on the ground and whispered, "Uncle, I don't dare to lie in front of His Majesty."

When the patriarch heard this, he was drenched in sweat and sighed in his heart. The Marquis Household had already angered the Emperor. If he hid anything now, it would only make the Emperor dislike the Gu family even more.

Gu Jian almost jumped up. He blew his beard and glared as he retorted, "Emperor, it's clearly Gu Yuan and his sister who want to split up!"

"It's not me…"

Gu Jian felt that he was extremely wronged. Just as he was about to explain, he was hurriedly interrupted by the patriarch beside him. "Your Majesty, I can testify that it was Hou… it was Gu Jian who split up the family!"
