Chapter 132 will get you scolded.
Wei Dongning had long anticipated this moment.
She calmly stood up and walked to Gu Peiyan's side: "Let's go."
"Young Madam..." Xiao Fu wanted to go with Wei Dongning.
The main concern was that she might be bullied if she went alone.
Wei Dongning understood her thoughts, but still found a reason to stop her: "Xiao Fu, please prepare some hot water for me, and remember to sprinkle some flower petals in. I want to take a bath when I come back."
She's had enough time to figure things out after she came back.
Gu Song is an upright person and would certainly not choose to cover up the mistakes of his relatives.
Therefore, she had nothing to be afraid of.
Besides, what's meant to be will be.
Whatever happens, we have to face it.
“Father has already investigated what happened today. Those two were unreasonable first. You don’t need to be afraid.” Gu Peiyan had already looked Wei Dongning up and down. Seeing that she didn’t seem to have been bullied, he was relieved: “You’ve been wronged. You did very well in this matter.”
Wei Dongning suddenly felt an urge to cry.
She ignored the insults and abuse she received from the Tang siblings when they caused trouble and when she was being tortured.
Even though her house looked like it had been robbed, she could calmly calculate her family's losses.
But one sentence from Gu Peiyan made her feel all her grievances surge up at once.
She couldn't help but pout as she looked at him: "Gu Peiyan, your relatives are really fierce."
She herself found it unbelievable after saying it; when did she become so fond of acting cute?
Gu Peiyan reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back twice: "They bullied you, and you were just protecting yourself and your family according to the law. You're good, they're bad. Shall we go see Father first?"
Xiao Wu was utterly shocked to see Wei Dongning become so delicate.
Having known her for so long, it has seen her in all sorts of states, but this is the first time it has seen her so delicate.
And then there's Gu Peiyan, whose tone of voice when coaxing children is frighteningly familiar.
They probably really treat Ningbao like a child.
Wei Dongning ignored Xiao Wu's nagging and nodded as she stepped out of Gu Peiyan's arms.
She blinked, suppressing the sour feeling in her eyes: "Alright. Father must have been waiting for a long time."
When they arrived at Gu Song's courtyard, Gu Shuang was already sitting with him in the main seat.
When Wei Dongning saw the sadness in her expression, she couldn't help but pause.
She really hadn't figured out how to face Gu Shuang.
The Tang siblings were beaten quite badly today, and in the end, she had to find a cart to take them home.
"Father, Aunt." Gu Peiyan pulled Wei Dongning to bow to the two people at the head of the table.
"Please sit down." Gu Song put down his teacup and looked at the two of them. "I already know about what happened today."
Gu Shuang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, her voice choked with sobs: "Dong Ning, it's all because of Aunt's matter that you've been dragged into this. I'm so sorry. I will compensate for all the items they damaged today."
Gu Song interrupted her directly: "What do you mean, 'compensate'?"
Wei Dongning's brow twitched almost imperceptibly.
In her memory, Gu Song was not the kind of person who would be generous with other people's money.
Have we misjudged this time?
Then Gu Song continued, "They brought this upon themselves, so let them suffer the consequences. How long do you intend to help them? I warned you before, spoiling a child is like killing a child. Did you swallow all those words along with your meal?"
Upon hearing his words, Wei Dongning couldn't help but feel a moment of guilt for her unfounded speculation.
Gu Peiyan noticed her change in mood and squeezed her hand to comfort her.
After being scolded by her brother, Gu Shuang seemed to have sobered up a bit and dared not speak up for her children anymore.
Seeing that the air had quieted down, Wei Dongning knew it was her turn to speak, so she said, "I was also at fault in what happened today."
"What did you do wrong? Was it wrong to protect the reputation of the Marquis's mansion? Or was it wrong to protect the children and property of the Gu family? The fault lies with those two brats; they've learned nothing from their studies! If you ask me, a beating would be too lenient." Gu Song was furious, and his words were tinged with coldness.
He forcefully swallowed back the words that Wei Dongning hadn't finished saying.
She looked at Gu Peiyan in disbelief.
Trying to ask him with her eyes, why does his father still carry out indiscriminate attacks?
Gu Peiyan also felt that her father had gone too far, and coughed lightly: "Father, don't be angry."
Gu Song glared at Gu Peiyan with displeasure: "You think you're a good person? You don't even stand up for your wife when she's been wronged."
Having successfully endured a scolding, Gu Peiyan had no choice but to admit his mistake: "Yes, I shouldn't have put A Ning in such a dangerous situation alone."
Gu Song looked at him, snorted as if he was annoyed by his lack of ambition, and then remained silent with a cold face.
Wei Dongning and Gu Shuang kept their heads down, afraid that they would be scolded by him again at any moment.
After listening to his tirade, Xiao Wu felt a pang of sympathy and whispered in Wei Dongning's mind, "It's a good thing I'm not human and don't have to be here. Otherwise, I probably would have been part of the scolding too."
In his forties, he was at the peak of his energy, and even his cursing was so forceful and powerful.
Wei Dongning hadn't expected Gu Song to be so scathing in his insults, and she couldn't help but shrink back a little: "I just don't know if he has high blood pressure. I'm really afraid he'll get sick from getting so angry."
"Don't worry, I feel that his blood circulation is much better than yours, and his blood pressure should be quite stable."
"That's good. His current state really resembles a homeroom teacher scolding students during a class meeting."
"I feel like it's the same as when my dad scolds me."
Xiao Wu and Wei Dongning exchanged a look of shared misery.
The room fell completely silent, with only the soft sounds of breathing and Gu Song drinking tea.
After the tea in the cup was finished, Gu Song slammed the teacup heavily on the coffee table: "Dong Ning, you and Pei Yan go back first. Xiao Shuang, you come with me to the ancestral hall."
Upon hearing this, Gu Peiyan immediately got up and pulled Wei Dongning outside.
It's inappropriate for them, as the younger generation, to be present at this time.
Wei Dongning was pulled a short distance away before she tugged at Gu Peiyan's sleeve and asked, "Father won't punish Aunt by making her kneel in the ancestral hall, will he?"
The scene of Gu Peiyan being forced to kneel as punishment is still fresh in my mind.
I don't know if my aunt, at her age, can handle it.
"Probably not."
Gu Peiyan was also very uncertain.
Given her father's personality, he would most likely just drag his aunt before their ancestors and make her realize how terribly wrong she was.
In fact, it was pretty much what Gu Peiyan had guessed.
Gu Song and Gu Shuang knelt together before the memorial tablet, respectfully lit three incense sticks, and then got up and sat down in chairs.
Seeing his sister's reddened eyes, Gu Song still couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.
He simply glanced at her and asked, "Now that things have come to this, what are you thinking? Your children don't care about your life or death at all, they're just looking out for themselves."
Gu Shuang hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
Gu Song was about to lose his patience when he finally spoke slowly.
