Chapter 190 The Gu and Mu families are no longer related
At the entrance of the ancestral hall, Gu Qingrong stopped the two elders.
"Father and mother, you are old, so please don't go in. Let us, your brothers and sisters-in-law and the two children, go..."
Mu Qingyan pushed the door open and saw Gu Qingqin’s tablet on the large incense table.
It also says 'the spirit tablet of my late wife Gu Qingqu'.
After taking this tablet back, a new one will have to be carved. Since they have divorced, she is no longer anyone's deceased wife. She is just Gu Qingqin, the eldest daughter of the Gu family.
The moment Gu Qingrong and his brothers saw the tablet, tears as big as beans started to fall down.
Several sisters-in-law also cried with red eyes.
Xu Lin and Mu Qingyan knelt down and kowtowed three times to the tablet.
The others bowed three times with solemn expressions.
After the worship, Gu Qingrong stepped forward, stretched out his rough hand, and stroked it, then choked up and said, "Sister, I'm sorry for letting you suffer all these years... Today, father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, and your two children are here to take you home... You must follow us closely and don't get lost..."
He held the tablet with both hands and handed it solemnly to Xu Lin.
"Be good, take your mother with you, follow us, and go home..."
A group of people came out of the ancestral hall. The old couple supported each other. The moment they saw the tablet, they burst into tears...
Gu Qingmao and Gu Qingsu came forward to support the old general, while their wives, Rong and Ning, supported the old lady.
Mu Sinian stood in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, looking at the tablet that had long been covered with dust but was now wiped clean, and felt very unhappy.
Gu Qingrong had been enduring it all along, but at this moment, when he saw the bastard who caused the death of his sister, he could no longer bear it.
He took two steps at a time and came in front of him. Before Mu Sinian could say anything or step back, he was punched in the corner of his mouth.
Gu Qingrong showed no mercy and used all his strength in this punch, causing one of his teeth to fall out and blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.
Although Mu Sinian also had some kung fu skills, he had neglected to practice them over the years and had lived a life of luxury, so he had long lost the agility and strength of a martial artist.
After being knocked down by a punch, he wanted to resist, but before he could get up, Gu Qingrong's second punch came again.
He beat Mu Sinian wildly, leaving his nose and face bruised and swollen.
There were servants and guards outside who wanted to rush in to protect their master, but Mu Qingyan stretched out her hand to stop them, and no one dared to move.
Mu Sinian was punched and kicked, and he lost several teeth. His mouth was full of blood, the jade crown that tied his hair fell off, his hair was loose, his clothes were torn into a mess, and his shin was broken by Gu Qingrong's kick. He could only wailing and didn't know where to cover his hands.
There is no resistance.
He was beaten so hard that he was breathing out more than breathing in. His wife, Yu, came over to stop him. "Okay, if we beat him to death, it would be too easy for him... Let Yan'er get the rest!"
Gu Qingrong beat him ruthlessly. He really wanted to beat him to death here in front of all the ancestors of the Gu family.
But Yu was right, it would be a relief for him to die like this!
He spat at him and kicked him before leaving in a rage.
The elders walked in front, and Xulin followed behind with his head down, holding the tablet.
Mu Qing followed behind him.
None of the guards at the Duke's Mansion dared to stop him.
Only after the Gu family had gone a long way did Aunt Qin slowly appear. She leisurely asked people to carry Mu Sinian back to the bedroom and ask a doctor to treat his injuries.
Mu Yingyu called out to Mu Qingyan quietly, "Sister..."
Mu Qingyan turned her head and walked over.
"Will you come back in the future?"
Mu Qingyan shook her head, pulled out the scroll of the imperial edict from her sleeve and handed it to her, "This is the imperial edict that I asked the prince to ask for you to grant marriage. I will leave Yingpo to you. After I leave, if he dares to embarrass you again, you will take out the imperial edict and show it to him. If he makes any move again, you will let Yingpo beat him. Remember, no matter where you go, you must take Yingpo with you!"
After that, she squeezed her hand vigorously and said softly, "Take care..."
Mu Yingyu watched her follow the Gu family out of the house.
The people outside had originally dispersed, but when they saw the Gu family coming out holding a tablet, they slowly gathered around again.
Gu Qingsu had already handed the divorce letter to his eldest sister-in-law Yu. Now, it was in Gu Qingrong's hands. He unfolded the letter and held it in his hand, saying loudly, "Today, my sister Gu Qingqin and Mu Sinian are separating! From now on, the Gu and Mu families will sever all ties and have no contact with each other until we die!"
He held the divorce papers and shouted all the way until he walked out of the alley and then put it away.
When they went back, they did not take a carriage, but walked back step by step.
The carriage followed slowly behind the people.
They just wanted to let everyone in Kyoto know that the Gu and Mu families were done with each other and would have nothing to do with each other from now on.
The old general and the old lady, supported by their son and daughter-in-law, walked slowly, and they had enough strength to keep up.
When the people saw this scene, they all stopped to watch.
Those who heard Gu Qingrong's words in front of Duke Fuguo's door could not wait to spread the message.
Therefore, before the Gu family members returned to the Gu family, the news that the Gu family members personally came to the door and asked Duke Fu to divorce his wife who had passed away many years ago, and also brought the tablet back to the Gu family spread throughout the streets and alleys, and even reached the palace.
Emperor Jianning and Prince Ling were discussing matters in the imperial study. Upon hearing the news, they looked at Prince Ling and said with a teasing tone, "So you specially requested an imperial decree that day to prepare for today? My sister-in-law is really considerate of her sister!"
Prince Ling lowered his eyebrows, "Le'an County Princess, is it worthy for Yan'er to treat her like this..."
Emperor Jianning smiled and said, "In my opinion, you are not so considerate and caring towards your future husband, and yet you are still speaking for others? Are you trying to tell me that you don't deserve your sister-in-law to be more considerate to you?"
Prince Ling was not happy. "Royal brother, please don't use your career to sow discord between me and Yan'er. Once the internal and external troubles of the court are resolved, we will naturally have more time to get along well."
Emperor Jianning smacked his lips and suddenly felt that it was boring.
His younger brother, the emperor, always acts so official in front of him. It's really boring, so boring!
When the news that Duke Fuguo was forced to write a divorce letter and was beaten half to death by Gu Qingrong spread, Prince Chong also got the news, but his reaction was just two words, "Serves you right..."
He could have offend anyone else, but he had to offend Mu Qingyan.
This woman will not beat around the bush. She won't even give you any preparation before she deals with someone.
The Gu family has been holding back their anger for so many years, and today they finally let it out.
He was more curious about what Mu Qingyan was going to do next?
