Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

"No, no, this is impossible. Our ancestors were founding heroes. Our family has the red seal and iron certificate bestowed by Taizu. Even... even if the emperor is furious, he can't do anything to us!"

"That's right, big brother, are you sick and stupid? How could a family like ours end?"

"My eldest sister-in-law's family is a royal family. Even if Brother Yu said something inappropriate, the emperor would still consider it for the Queen's sake..."

Gu Yan laughed, "You are all still daydreaming. If it weren't for the emperor's mercy, thinking of our Gu family's ancestors and the queen, you!" He pointed at Gu Tingyu's head, "And you!" He pointed at Xiao Qinshi, "Whatever Gu family or Qin family, they will all die together!"

"Do you think you are just putting on a show in front of the emperor and empress? Do you think you are just trying to make your brother fail the imperial examination?" Gu Yankai cursed Gu Tingyu again, "The emperor said that you are spreading rumors, deceiving the emperor, and disrupting the government!"

Shaw was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"That's the imperial examination! The only way to success for scholars all over the world! You, as the descendant of a military general, actually dared to fool the emperor and disrupt the imperial examination! Do you know how big a crime this is? Without the protection of our ancestors, all nine clans of the Gu family will be destroyed along with you!" Gu Yankai began to pant again.

"The emperor gave you all kinds of medicinal herbs with good intentions, but not only did you not express your sincere gratitude, you also turned the emperor's kindness into a conspiracy. The emperor said you were ungrateful and wanted you to never set foot in the palace again!"

Gu Tingyu spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, except for Shao and Xian Jie'er, no one in the family came forward to care for him. The previous harmony disappeared, and was replaced by cold words.

"Brother Yu, it's you! Why are you acting like this, totally disregarding our brotherhood?"

"Even if Erlang passes the exam, he can't compete with you for the title. Why do you want to harm him like this? Now you've implicated the whole family."

Only Xiao Qinshi grasped the crux of the matter and asked, "The emperor only punished Yu Ge'er by not allowing him to enter the palace? There is no other punishment?"

If only Gu Tingyu was punished, then the whole family would just have to suffer for a few days, and when the storm had passed, they would be able to recover.

Gu Yankai said: "You are dreaming. Do you think the government can just let you off lightly for such a serious crime as deceiving the emperor and disrupting the government?"

The fourth room was hoping for the best: "Since the emperor didn't want to kill Brother Yu... then at most he would be reprimanded? Or kneel in the palace for an hour or so?"

"Haha, hahaha! Fourth brother, how naive are you? This is deceiving the emperor and disrupting the government! Reprimand and punish by kneeling? Hahaha!" Gu Yankai cried and laughed at the same time, scaring the people in the fourth room so much that they retreated again and again.

The Fifth House: "Big brother, you are lying to us! If the emperor really dislikes the Gu family, why did you come back with the imperial physician instead of the imperial edict yesterday?"

"Why do you think the emperor only sent the imperial physician? Huh?" Gu Yankai looked around at everyone, "Because the emperor has to discuss with the cabinet to draft an edict. The emperor wants to take away our family's title and take back the red book and iron certificate. He wants me to stay awake and watch this family being destroyed in his hands! Yu'er, are you satisfied? The emperor wanted your life in the first place, but he cried bitterly for your father in the Zizheng Palace and used the title and the red book and iron certificate to exchange for your life. Are you happy? Are you grateful? Are you satisfied!!!!"

"Master!" Xiao Qin suddenly rushed to Gu Yankai, "You have more than just Dalang as your child. You also have Brother Ye and Tingwei! How can you ruin your entire family for Dalang?"

The fourth and fifth rooms also started to yell, "Big brother! Let Brother Yu take responsibility for his mistakes. Why bother dragging the whole family down with him! You have more than just your son. We have so many children in our rooms. They are also your nephews and nephews!"

The fifth wife could no longer remain silent, and raised her voice slightly, saying, "Since the government has found out that it was Brother Yu who spread the rumor, it means that Brother Ye is right. Shouldn't we return Brother Ye's list to him?"

This one word awakened the dreamer, and everyone agreed.

"The government will revoke my title this time on the charge that I, Gu Yankai, have bad personal conduct. My bad personal conduct and poor family management have caused my nephews to rebel and fight over my property. If you want to return Erlang to the top three, you have to announce to the world that Dalang disrupted the imperial examinations. Then, the court officials will attack us, and our Gu family will be charged with treason! Even if we have to sacrifice the imperial seal and the iron certificate, we will have to punish three clans together. Do you think anyone in this room can escape?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole house was in turmoil, and everyone burst into tears.

Gu Yankai pointed at Xiao Qinshi: "You," then pointed at Gu Tingyu, "and you. You don't have to worry about calculating anymore. The title, wealth, everything of the Gu family is gone! If no one pleads for me this time, I might be exiled. When the time comes, you can just guard this home, this empty house and fight for it. As many doctors as you want to die, as many brothers as you want to kill. Anyway, except for human lives, this Gu family has nothing else to lose."

The fourth and fifth branches cursed: "This is the title that our ancestors of the Gu family exchanged for with blood and tears! Big brother, how can you destroy it for Gu Tingyu? The life of your big branch is life, but the lives of our other branches are not life? Big brother, how can you be the head of the family if you act like this!"

"In my opinion, we should quickly divide this family!"

"If we don't split up, we will all be dragged down to death by your eldest wife!"

Gu Tingwei cried as he shouted, "Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, we have been a family for so many years. Now that our eldest family is in trouble, you want to split up the family. Are we still a family?"

The fourth room spit in his face: "Bah! What is a family? A family is one that cares about each other! Your father, for a disappointing brother like you, has ruined his ancestral foundation. Has he ever thought that we are a family? I don't care, I have decided on this family!"

The Fifth Wife: "Brother, don't blame us for being cruel. In the current situation, if we don't separate the family, I'm afraid that the whole family will be implicated by you. Since you don't care about us, don't blame us for thinking about you. We won't ask for more from you. The few boxes of silver in the warehouse are all your compensation to us. We don't want anything else."

Xiao Qin stood up and said, "Fifth brother's wife, you are so calculating. You have confiscated the title and the property, and all the real estate and land must be handed over to the national treasury. Only the silver with unknown purpose can be kept in your hands. You say that you don't want anything, but in fact you want the most! Don't forget that the silver in the treasury is what the master left for Brother Ye. It is the dowry left by Brother Ye's biological mother. How can you have the nerve to touch those things?"

The Fifth Wife stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, think about it carefully. It is your First Wife who has harmed our Wife. Although the silver was the dowry of Brother Ye's biological mother, it is also your First Wife's property after all. Now that the title is gone, and the red book and iron certificate are gone, what else can you give us as compensation except for the silver?"
