"You, you're all ganging up to shirk your responsibilities! I want to see the patriarch of the Gong Family. I want to ask him personally if the Gong Family still cares about their reputation! "
Seeing that things were out of her control, Madam Liang had to use her last move.
She could not control the few brats of the Gong Family, but the patriarch of the Gong Family was an old-fashioned man.
As long as he appeared, Gong Si would have to admit it!
"Our patriarch is resting, and it's not convenient for him to meet any guests now."
Gong Bin had just refused when he heard a deep and dignified voice coming from behind the crowd.
"Gong Bin, what's going on?"
The crowd instantly quietened down.
Gong Bin glanced at Madam Liang with dissatisfaction, then walked quickly to the side of the patriarch of the Gong Family.
"Patriarch, it's just some trivial matters. You haven't been feeling well recently, so you'd better go and rest first. I can handle it here. "
Gong Qianfeng's calm gaze swept across the crowd.
After a brief exchange with Lin Mengya, he turned to the group of women in front of him.
"If you could handle it well, it wouldn't be like this now."
The words of the patriarch seemed to be blaming Gong Bin.
Madam Liang was delighted. She knew that the person who had the final say in the Gong Family had arrived.
She immediately wiped away her tears and put on a look as if she had been wronged.
"Patriarch, you have to seek justice for us!"
Gong Qianfeng glanced at the crying woman and thought for a moment before he remembered the identity of the person in front of him.
"Oh, it's Madam Liang. What happened?"
When Madam Liang saw the opportunity, she immediately sobbed and recounted what had happened, adding oil to the fire.
Gong Bin tried to find a chance to interrupt her, but he was always stopped by Madam Liang.
Seeing that his great-grandfather's expression was getting darker, Gong Bin's heart twisted.
Would his great-grandfather listen to Madam Liang's side of the story?
If that was the case, it would be Fourth Brother who was wronged.
"If it's really as Madam Liang said, I will punish her severely. Fourth Brother, come here. "
It was as if the dirty water just now wasn't splashed on him.
He walked to his great-grandfather in a few steps. His attitude was still indifferent, and his expression didn't change at all.
Gong Qianfeng carefully looked at the child, he already had an idea in his mind.
"Let me ask you, have you ever done anything violent to that woman from the Liang family?"
Gong Si raised his head and said firmly.
"Never."
"Did you go to the Liang Family for a drink today?"
"Never."
"Alright, since you don't want to admit it, and Madam Liang insists, for the sake of the Gong Family, you should leave first."
No one had expected that this would be the result of the Patriarch's words.
Gong Si obviously didn't expect this either, but after being stunned for a moment, he knelt in front of the Ancestor.
"Unfilial descendant Gong Zheng is in a quagmire and has tarnished the reputation of the Gong family. I am willing to accept punishment."
Gong Qianfeng couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his great-grandson.
"Don't blame great-grandfather for being heartless. It's just that our Gong family can't bear such humiliation."
Just as he finished sighing, he turned his head and spoke to the dumbstruck Madam Liang.
"Right now, he is no longer a descendant of our Gong Family. If you still insist that it was Gong Zheng who insulted your daughter, please report him to the authorities and have him punished. "
Madam Liang was dumbfounded.
She had originally thought that by causing a ruckus, she would be able to turn the Gong Family's big problem into a small one, and then a small one into nothing. In the end, she would take advantage of the situation and make Gong Si take responsibility, so that her third daughter could marry into the Gong Family.
Although this matter wasn't very honorable, it was currently the most direct method.
She didn't expect that after alerting the Gong Family's Ancestor, this would be the result.
Expelled from the Gong Family? If Gong Zheng wasn't the Fourth Young Master of the Gong Family, then why would she waste so much energy?
"Alright, all of you are dismissed. From now on, this matter has nothing to do with the Gong Family. "
The Gong Family's Ancestor had absolute control over the Gong Family. As soon as he spoke, the onlookers didn't dare to talk anymore.
On the other hand, Gong Bin and Gong San looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
The two of them knelt in front of the Ancestor along with Gong Si and spoke in unison.
"Great-grandfather, please reconsider!"
Gong Qianfeng looked at them with a complicated expression.
"Alright, this is Gong Zheng's fault, so let him bear the consequences himself. Our Gong Family absolutely won't allow such a stain to exist. "
Gong Bin and Gong San were a little anxious, but they knew that although the Gong Family could be said to be very lenient in some aspects, there were also some aspects that could be said to be very strict.
The Gong Family's descendants couldn't have such a stain on their moral conduct.
If Gong Si couldn't prove that he was framed, then he would become the shame of the entire Gong Family.
"Yes, yes, Ancestor, I only hope that the Fourth Young Master can give me an explanation. After all, the man and the woman are unmarried, so it's not difficult to cover up this matter. "
This unexpected situation had already caused Madam Liang to be somewhat incoherent.
Even Liang Yue, who had been sobbing behind her, was so shocked that she forgot to cry and could only stare blankly at everything in front of her.
However, the Ancestor shook his head, his expression incomparably solemn.
"Even if it's a man and a woman alone, something like this shouldn't have happened to them. In the end, it's my fault for not being strict in managing the family. Madam Liang, there's no need to say anything more. Take Gong Zheng with you to see the magistrate. "
Madam Liang choked on her words when she saw the Ancestor's unyielding attitude.
Things shouldn't have turned out like this. That person had clearly said that the Gong Family couldn't live without Gong Si now, and would definitely think of ways to cover up for him. When the time came, she could bring it up. Not only would everything fall into place, but the Gong Family would also be grateful and treat them well in the future.
But she hadn't expected that things would completely exceed her expectations.
"Ancestor, you should think about it again. Actually, it's hard for young people to be impulsive at times, not to mention when they're drunk. I feel that it's better to let these two young people become a couple. That way, the Gong Family won't be tarnished. "
The Ancestor's expression turned a little cold when he heard Madam Liang's words.
"Our Gong Family can't even tolerate a descendant like this, so how can we tolerate such a filthy thing? It's Miss Liang today, but it could be someone else tomorrow. What's the point of having laws if that's the case? "
Madam Liang was speechless now that things had developed to this point.
Judging from the Ancestor's attitude, it was certain that Gong Si would be expelled from the Gong Family unless she told the truth.
No way! She wanted her daughter to marry the Fourth Young Master who might be in charge of the Gong Family, not a stray dog who was expelled from the Gong Family.
She calmed herself down and said with a sorrowful expression, "This is the Gong Family's matter.
"This is a family matter of the Gong Family. No matter how the ancestor deals with it, I shouldn't have interfered. But my daughter was harmed because of the Gong Family. Since Gong Zheng is no longer a member of the Gong Family, I don't have to say anything to him. Ancestor, how do you think we should deal with this matter? "
Lin Mengya, who had been watching from the sidelines, could not help but slap the table and exclaim in admiration at Madam Liang's shamelessness.
Madam Liang was still indulging in fantasy at this point. It seemed that it was time for her to make her appearance.
The Ancestor's expression froze. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a frivolous voice coming from behind him.
"Madam Liang is really scheming. Seeing that your daughter has no hope of becoming the Fourth Young Madam, you want to harm others. Do you think that the five unmarried men of the Gong Family have to be expelled from the Gong Family because of you before you can stop harming others? "
These words were extremely rude.
Madam Liang's eyes reddened instantly as she stared at the figure who was slowly walking up to her.
When the Ancestor saw her, the expression on his face softened a little.
But after hearing her words, he immediately understood the truth.
"Su Mei greets the Ancestor of the Gong Family."
Her smile was as bright as the sun.
In such a bloody scene, it was as if a cool breeze had blown away the layers of fog.
"Oh, so you're here too. What do you think of this matter? "
The Ancestor of the Gong Family seemed to treat Su Mei very differently. He asked her as if she was also a member of the Gong Family.
Madam Liang felt a little uneasy, but on second thought, Su Mei was also at the scene.
Even if she wanted to cover up for this matter, what Su Mei saw was the scene she had meticulously planned.
She couldn't help but feel relieved.
In the end, this wretched girl was still no match for her.
"Of course I saw it with my own eyes."
She smiled at the Ancestor of the Gong Family, then tilted her head slightly and looked at Madam Liang with interest.
"I heard from Madam Liang that you 'personally' invited Fourth Young Master to your house for a banquet, am I right?"
When Madam Liang heard this, she immediately straightened her back and spoke in a righteous manner.
"Yes! Mr. Su Mei came with Third Young Master and Fourth Young Master. Don't tell me that you've forgotten about this? "
Lin Mengya shook her head. Of course she wouldn't.
She had volunteered to be a witness, so she naturally wouldn't deny it.
"I can testify to this. I did go for a drink with Third Young Master. But the person who went with us didn't seem to be Fourth Young Master. "
When she said this, Madam Liang was like a cat whose fur stood on end.
"You're talking nonsense! Liang Yue and I saw the three of you at the table! "
"Yes, that's right! You even wanted me to apologize to you. Hmph, despicable person! "
Liang Yue now dared to point at her nose and scold her. The pitiful look she put on just now was really hard on Third Miss Liang.
Lin Mengya spread out her hands and pretended to be innocent.
"I think this is probably a misunderstanding. I remember that it was Second Miss Liang who personally invited me. As for whether Fourth Young Master was invited or not, I think Second Miss Liang would remember it clearly. "
The Liang Family mother and daughter didn't quite understand why she was dealing with this matter.
Gong Bin looked at his little sister and then at the two troublesome people from the Liang Family. His heart trembled and he immediately ordered the servants.
"Someone, invite Second Miss Liang over!"
