Chapter 29 Severing the relationship between father and daughter
"Sir, please be merciful. You can beat me to death, but the young lady is rich and cannot bear these fifty battles. She will not be able to bear it."
Gu Chunuan lifted Qiu'er up and said angrily, "You're worthless. I've brought your lady's face to shame. Didn't I tell you that you don't need to kneel to anyone but me?"
"Miss……"
Qiu'er cried, "How could this happen? Why is the lady still acting stupid?"
"What are you still doing? Take action."
Prime Minister Gu was furious, he didn't believe it, he couldn't take care of his daughter today.
Gu Chulan and others all had a trace of schadenfreude on their faces, waiting for Gu Chunuan to be beaten until he knelt down and begged for mercy.
The servants came over aggressively, and Gu Chunuan slowly took out a gold-plated token from his arms, with a big word "order" written on it.
Seeing the token, the servants stopped one after another.
Prime Minister Gu's expression changed.
Isn't that token an imperial order given by the late emperor to Princess Zhaoling?
The late emperor doted on Princess Zhaoling the most and wished he could give the whole world to her. This token naturally went into Princess Zhaoling's hands.
After Princess Zhaoling died, he had been looking for the token, but couldn't find it. Why was it in Gu Chunuan's hands now?
Gu Chunuan lazily played with the token and said casually, "If I remember correctly, the late emperor seemed to have said that seeing this token is like seeing him in person. Although the late emperor has gone, I think,
The token should still be valid, right?"
Fifth Yiniang gritted her teeth with hatred.
Today she could have been severely punished, but she found the late emperor's token from somewhere.
Gu Chulan was relatively young and could not see the way out of this token, so she couldn't help but cursed, "Gu Chunuan, do you want to blackmail dad with a broken token?"
"How dare you defy the late emperor's order. Just what you said is enough to kill the entire Gu family."
First...the First Emperor's Token?
Could this token really be a gift from the late emperor?
Gu Chunuan raised the token high, said with a cold face, "The late emperor's token is here, why don't you kneel down quickly?"
Prime Minister Gu's face turned blue and white.
He did not dare to disobey in front of the late emperor's order.
But……
He is the prime minister of the dynasty, and he is also her biological father. How can any biological father kneel down to his daughter? What kind of words would spread like this?
It is even more impossible for the eldest lady to kneel down to a junior like herself.
She smiled coquettishly and said, "Third Miss, we are all members of our own family, why do we need to issue the imperial order."
"So, you don't recognize the late emperor's imperial order? Well, since the token is useless, I will go to the emperor now and ask him to destroy the token."
With that said, she turned around and left calmly.
The eldest lady was so frightened that she quickly stopped her and softened her tone, "Miss, don't be angry, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that we are all from the same family, why should we be so stiff."
"Haha...what a family. I, Gu Chunuan, can't compare to great gods like you."
Suddenly, Gu Chunuan shouted sharply, and the aura of king suddenly emanated from his body, and his tone said that he could not refuse, "Kneel down or not."
Everyone was frightened by her drink.
Looking at her cold eyes, everyone had no doubt that once they refused, Gu Chunuan would definitely go to the palace and cause trouble.
Prime Minister Gu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but in front of the emperor's order, he had to choose to give in. He could only kneel down and bowed reluctantly.
Prime Minister Gu had already knelt down, so why did everyone else have the nerve not to kneel down, so they could only follow suit.
What angered him the most was the aunts and young ladies.
Gu Chunuan was the person they looked down upon the most. They never thought that one day they would kneel down to Gu Chunuan.
Gu Chunuan didn't ask them to get up right away. Instead, he played with the imperial order boredly and muttered, "This token is quite fun. Do I have to show it every day from now on?"
Everyone was so angry that they almost vomited blood.
Light it up every day?
Can she speak out?
How could anyone casually carry out the late emperor's token?
Gu Chulan, Wu Yiniang and others all gritted their teeth.
They have been kneeling for so long. Is Gu Chunuan blind or mute? Why don't you let them get up quickly?
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from Gu Chunuan. Gu Chuqing couldn't help it anymore, she said angrily, "How long do you want us to kneel down?"
"What's the matter, you don't want to kneel down to the late emperor? How about we go to the emperor and ask him to grant you privileges."
"Gu Chunuan, are you playing?"
"That's weird. Why am I playing with you? It's the late emperor who made you kneel, not me."
Vomiting blood...
The late emperor has been gone for so many years, how could he make them kneel down?
It's not like Gu Chu Nuanhu is pretending to be a tiger.
Although Qiu'er was surprised where her lady got the token, she was afraid of making the matter too big, so she quickly advised her.
"Miss, sir, they are still kneeling. It's cold in the night, why don't you let me get up first?"
"Okay, for your sake, the late emperor will let them go for now. You can get up."
Everyone vomited blood.
Why did the late emperor let them go for now?
"You are unfilial." Prime Minister Gu roared.
Who in the world would rely on the late emperor to force his father to kneel down?
She is not afraid of being struck by lightning.
He always thought that Gu Chunuan came back to kneel down and beg for mercy, but he never thought that Gu Chunuan would dare to do this to him.
"Oh, if you don't regard me as your daughter, why should I regard you as my father? Our relationship is like this cloth, and it will be severed from now on."
Gu Chunuan tore off a piece of her skirt, split it into two pieces, and threw it into the air.
This approach was too decisive, and no one expected it to work.
Is Gu Chunuan crazy?
Does she know that in this era where women are inferior, she, a woman, will be in a difficult position without the Prime Minister's Mansion to rely on?
"Miss, are you possessed by a ghost? We can't leave the Prime Minister's Mansion." Qiu'er said urgently.
"Gu Chunuan, do you know what you are talking about?"
"You know, we are no longer father and daughter. Don't you always think that I am a thorn in your side, a thorn in your flesh, or a great shame and humiliation to you? It's over now. Everything about me will have nothing to do with me in the future."
Wu Yiniang was afraid that she would not be able to get back the two hundred thousand taels of silver, so she quickly whispered, "Master, I think Miss Third doesn't want to return Lan'er's two hundred thousand taels, nor does she want to take out the money from Princess Ying and others, so she
I deliberately severed the father-daughter relationship with you."
Gu Chulan also echoed, "Dad, does Third Sister think that we are going to steal money from her? Lan'er never thought of embezzling the two hundred thousand taels of silver that grandpa gave Lan'er. Lan'er originally wanted to expand it for dad.
It belongs to the family, but the third sister...she...she used a trick to steal the money first."
Prime Minister Gu seemed to understand somewhat.
He also guessed why Gu Chunuan's personality suddenly changed. It turned out that he had more than one million taels of silver as his backer.
Yes, more than one million taels is enough for her to live without worries for several lifetimes.
"You can sever ties with me, but I have two conditions. First, hand over all the money you won from the princess and Lan'er. Second, get on the sedan chair from the Gu family to Prince Han's Mansion."
