Chapter 466: For a concubine’s son?

He struck hard on the table. “Are you defending a concubine’s son so badly?”

“Both father and I approved of him being my a.s.sistant, but he turned me down! He went to the Ministry of Military for a small job! It is not our fault! Why must we show him mercy? You can talk with him, then take care of him yourself!” Gu Yunhe snapped angrily.

He had held the grudge for a long time. Since Madame Gu was the elder in the family, he had not yet spilled out the anger earlier.

Seeing Madame Gu, who only cared about a concubine’s son rather than him, he got so annoyed that he burst out instantly. It was Madame Gu who sent him to the military before causing him to miss a lot of things, and now this old woman was causing him even more trouble. He was happy that Gu Yunxuan was not with him.

Yes, that boy was working at the Ministry of Military. He was going to wait and see if he was going to become successful after all. If he failed, then it was not Gu Yunhe’s fault!

Hearing these words, Madame Gu had a very terrible expression on her face. She had not expected that Yunhe would have snapped at her like this. He was the elder son, the lineal son. What she had been doing was for his sake only!

As for Yunxuan, she was treating him as her grandson for Yunhe’s sake as well.

The Gu Mansion was going to pop out in the capital after all. And Yunxuan was a very kind-hearted man who would make her less worried if he was alongside Yunhe.

That was why she hoped that Yunxuan could help Yunhe – she was offering him help, why didn’t he get it? What made Yunhe change like this and when did that happen? He was not treating her as the Madame Gu of the family at all!

Madame Gu felt her heart break.

Next to them, Mrs. Gu was displeased as well. “Yes, Gu Yunxuan is just a concubine’s son and he turned down Yunhe’s help! Why must Yunhe follow him all the time? He doesn’t deserve the honor! Madame Gu, you are becoming so dumb in the head!”

As the mother and the son said those things, Gu Zhenkang, who had thought that Yunhe had overreacted, started to think that it was Madame Gu’s fault.

It was his fault. When he felt that no one understood what he was working at, he asked Madame Gu to help him, but Madame Gu got so sick that her head turned dumb too.

He sighed. “Mother, what are you talking about?”

“I believe that you don’t have to eat here, ask Cai Ming to get you some food in the room” Gu Zhenkang said unhappily and asked Chen Fu to push her away, so that Cai Ming could get some food from the kitchen.

During this period, Madame Gu said nothing more. She closed her eyes and felt her heart completely break.

It was her fault… She had spared no efforts working for this family, and now she was pushed to the bottom of the valley.

Cai Ming was right. She should not have agreed to return to the front yard. In that case, at least Chaoyan would approve of her as Madame Gu.

As she pa.s.sed by Gu Chaoyan, Madame Gu threw a look at Gu Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan did not dodge, but she looked rather cold. She had nothing to say.

Madame Gu sighed as she got pushed away.

Madame Gu was a pitiful woman, but that was because she caused all of these. Gu Chaoyan was pretty aware of this point, so she did not have the intention of making a change for her.

“Don’t get mad about that old woman, let’s talk about something lively – isn’t Ruxue’s adulthood ceremony around the corner?” The Third Concubine said with a flattering tone.
