Capítulo 1367: Chapter 1367: Expelled from the Clan! Stripped of the Family Na!
Wang Yongzhu was still thinking about the Capital City, especially Yang Zongbao, how was he faring in the Gu Family now?
How was the Gu Family dealing with the situation of Yang Zongbao and the Gu Family’s Third Child?
Upon seeing the thick family letter, he quickly expressed thanks, took the letter, and nodded to the two people: “You chat while I go read the letter with Mother, who is also concerned about the grandmother and big uncle, big aunt in the Capital City.”
With that, he headed towards Old Granny Zhang with the letter.
Upon hearing it was a letter from the Capital City, Old Granny Zhang quickly sat up, eagerly looking at Wang Yongzhu.
Wang Yongzhu tore open the envelope and began to read the letter to Old Granny Zhang, one page at a ti.
It turned out that Yang Zongbao had now changed his na to Gu Changque, and had been officially entered into the clan records of the Gu Family under the nas of the Grand Elder of the Gu Family and Old Madam Gu, as their young son.
As for Gu Changyin, according to Gu Changqing’s thoughts, he should be expelled from the clan since he was never truly of Gu Family bloodline.
He had occupied a nest and enjoyed the benefits of the Gu Family for so many years, how could he continue to enjoy those benefits with the na of Gu Family bloodline? How could such a wonderful thing exist?
How could they just let the brother and sister who suffered outside for half of their lives?
Upon hearing this, Gu Changyin’s family was imdiately anxious, rolling and protesting.
They claid he was certainly of the Gu Family bloodline, as verified familial ties were done earlier, how could it suddenly be said otherwise?
Not knowing where they found a rural pauper to replace him?
How would this be fair to the deceased Grand Elder of the Gu Family?
Simultaneously, they cried out, claiming they would go to the ancestral shrine to cry to the Grand Elder and Old Madam, making them speak up for justice!
They also said that Gu Changqing despised their third branch, and that he should say directly to expel them from the Gu Family, instead of throwing such dirty water. How could they not be the bloodline of the Grand Elder of the Gu Family?
Lady Jin didn’t care about her image anymore, sitting on the ground wailing, while shouting out that the big house was too much, bullying their third house because they had no one to protect them!
Simultaneously she cursed, saying that Gu Changqing was so cruel that he wasn’t afraid of future retribution and so on.
Gu Changqing, being direct, imdiately invited Du Zhongjing from the Imperial dical Bureau, publicly in front of the entire clan to redo the blood relation test.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, indeed, the blood of Gu Changqing, the renad Gu Changque who was originally Yang Zongbao, and Old Madam Gu quickly rged together.
Whereas the blood of Gu Changyin was distinctly separate from that of Gu Changqing and Old Madam Gu.
Gu Changyin was instantly dumbfounded by this.
He wanted to accuse Gu Changqing of bribing Du Zhongjing to fake it, but seriously, who was Du Zhongjing? He was the Director of the Imperial dical Bureau, invited with the Emperor’s consent.
Could he really fake it?
Was it possible he truly wasn’t of Gu Family bloodline? Gu Changyin himself began to have doubts, especially when compared to his outstanding older brothers, he was too ordinary, even quite dull.
Yet Lady Jin refused to give up, she knew well the prestigious life she had benefited from, supported by the Gu Family.
If they were expelled from the Gu Family, their status would plumt, possibly even her own family couldn’t accept them.
How could she accept this fate?
Thus she protested, saying the blood test might be wrong, ntioning the birthmark! The mole on the sole of the foot?
Gu Changqing, already prepared for the fallout, instructed both Gu Changyin and Gu Changque to remove their shoes and socks in front of everyone, to reveal their soles to the public.
The mole on both of their soles was in roughly the sa position, only Gu Changque’s was clear, whereas Gu Changyin’s was now faded.
The clan mbers of the Gu Family saw this and made their judgnts.
Gu Changyin saw the look in everyone’s eyes towards himself growing increasingly unfriendly, urgently held up his foot, looked down himself, and realized that the mole had faded significantly, becoming bewildered.
Who really checks their own soles, right? He vaguely recalled that during the initial verification it was a clear black mole, how could it fade?
“How could this be? How did my mole fade?”
Beside him, Du Zhongjing was rather intrigued, stepped forward, stared at Gu Changyin’s sole for a while, then took out a silver needle, directed people to hold Gu Changyin down, and pierced it downwards.
With a cry, Gu Changyin scread in agony.
On the other side, Du Zhongjing manipulated the silver needle for a few monts, then withdrew it, examined it, and ordered a bowl of clear water to be brought, into which he dropped an unknown pill, which dissolved into the water and was colorless and tasteless.
Then he stirred the silver needle into it, witnessing a faint blackish trail slowly dragging from the needle.
Du Zhongjing nodded: “This is a kind of dye, injected into the body, showing color on the outer skin. It’s difficult to fade over a long ti, this one on the foot has been in the body for decades, so it appears a bit faded now, in a few more years it will mostly fade leaving just tiny traces.”
Everyone in the Gu Family understood the situation clearly now.
Gu Changyin and his family turned deathly pale, devoid of further argunts.
The Gu Family Patriarch had initially thought, if Gu Changyin was indeed the blood of the forr Grand Elder of the Gu Family, it would be acceptable to branch him out, leaving him so path as they were the Gu Family bloodline after all.
But now seeing that Gu Changyin was never part of the Gu Family bloodline, how could they tolerate him?
He imdiately agreed, in front of the entire clan announced that Gu Changyin’s family should be expelled from the Gu Family, also erased his na along with Lady Jin’s and Gu Zidong’s from the clan records.
They weren’t allowed to retain the surna Gu, not to ntion the property initially allocated to their third house, all of which naturally had to be reclaid.
Gu Changyin watched helplessly as his family was expelled from the clan, overwhelming fear engulfing him, and upon realizing the property would be reclaid along with the surna, he collapsed, passing out.
Lady Jin beca frantic hearing about it, if the property was reclaid and they were expelled from the Gu Family, how would they live thereafter?
She only argued that the property of the third house was originally left to them by the Grand Elder of the Gu Family, unrelated to the big house and second house, why should it be taken back?
Was it that the big house and second house coveted the property of the third house, setting up this sche?
Gu Changqing snorted coldly on hearing this, saying: “Rest assured, the possessions left by the Grand Elder of the Gu Family to you, our big house and second house have no fortune to consu! Leaving aside whatever else is there. However, among these, the legacy items of the Gu Family and ancestral lands and manors will never stay in the hands of those of outside blood!”
The other clan mbers of the Gu Family, though still sowhat discontented, knew well that the forr Grand Elder of the Gu Family had nurtured a legacy of wealth, private holdings couldn’t have been scant?
Else for Gu Changyin’s family of three, doing nothing productive, only proficient at squandering, they lived leisurely for so many years rely due to the abundance left by the Grand Elder of the Gu Family.
Though reclaiming the legacy and ancestral items was agreed upon, the amount bequeathed to Gu Changyin’s family seed too generous.
