However, today, this man who has always been impeccable is unexpectedly jailed in the punishment room, the feelings of Old Marquis are complex.
"Kneel." The Old Marquis says.
Gu Changqing lifts his robe and kneels without expression.
Gu Changqing has always been so, he is not an emotional person, but for some reason, the Old Marquis always feels that after his return to Beijing, there seems to be an invisible barrier and distance between him and Gu Changqing.
Even his kneeling seemed to be a silent rebellion masked under apparent obedience.
The Old Marquis frowned, his suspicious gaze swept over Gu Changqing, and finally he asked about the military camp: "Why were you so impulsive? Who gave you the courage to torment Tang Ming in front of so many people? If it weren’t for Xuanping and me, you would already have been killed by Tang Yueshan!"
Gu Changqing did not speak, only lowered his eyebrows, looking as if he was looking at the cold ground, yet appeared as if he was disregarding everything.
"Be honest, what exactly happened? Is it because Tang Ming treated the former Gu Family Army harshly?"
He is his grandson whom he has brought up himself, the Old Marquis obviously understands his character. Gu Changqing has a deep attachment to the Gu Family Army. Even though he has never actually been in the Gu Family Army, he grew up immersed in it, and has long considered himself and the Gu Family Army as one.
The Old Marquis still remembered that when he handed over the military power and let the Gu Family Army fall into someone else’s hands, Gu Changqing secretly cried in his room.
Gu Changqing was just a teenager at that time.
When entering the Tiger Mountain Camp, the Old Marquis repeatedly emphasized that he must not act rashly. These years, Gu Changqing strictly followed his advice.
But today, he couldn’t bear it any more?
Other people believed it, but the Old Marquis didn’t.
There must be other reasons.
The Old Marquis asked again: "Do you have a personal grudge against Tang Ming?"
Gu Changqing still remained silent.
The Old Marquis took off the whip around his waist in anger, unfolded it with a snap, and the long whip tail with a chilly light fell on the ground, seeming to be able to splash fire: "You’re getting bold and ignore me, your grandfather, don’t you? Speak!"
Gu Changqing faintly opened his mouth: "Grandfather, just assume that I have a personal grudge."
What does that mean?
What is "just consider that I have personal enmity?"
The Old Marquis clenched his teeth: "Then speak? What is the personal grudge?"
With one whip, Gu Changqing’s skin was cracked and bloody! freeweɓnovel.cøm
The two hurried into the punishment room and held the arms of the Old Marquis who was furious, one on the left and one on the right.
Gu Chengfeng said: "Grandfather, Big Brother is just recovering from his injury, don’t hit him anymore!"
Gu Chenglin nodded and added: "Yeah, grandfather, Big Brother is not made of iron. You’re giving him a beating every three to five days. Aren’t you letting Big Brother live?"
The Old Marquis was furious: "Both of you get out! Or else I’ll beat you too!"
"Then let’s get beaten!" Gu Chengfeng knelt down next to Gu Changqing.
Gu Chenglin shrunk his neck, he was a bit scared, but seeing both of his brothers kneel, he gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and also knelt down next to his big brother.
He held his head in his hands: "My hair has just grown out, could Grandfather avoid hitting my head?"
The Old Marquis: "..."
Finally, the Old Marquis drove Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin away.
The two were outside the punishment room, hearing the sound of the whip hitting Gu Changqing, they were so anxious that they were pacing in place.
After an unknown period of time, the door of the punishment room finally opened, and the Old Marquis came out with a pale face. He was still holding the whip in his hand, the veins on the back of his hands and forehead were jumping, showing that he had truly been angry.
