The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

When Gu Shijin saw the wound on Gu Shiyan's arm, a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.

I saw that Gu Shiyan's left arm was covered with a large bruise and some wounds, which looked quite scary.

This doesn't look like something that happened by falling!

"Xingzhu, go get a doctor." Gu Shijin shouted to Xingzhu outside the door.

Gu Shiyan held Gu Shijin's hand and said, "Jin'er, there's really no need!"

"I'm really fine."

Gu Shijin sighed, "Then second sister, tell me what happened to your injury."

Gu's mother was also worried, and she obviously noticed the unusual injuries on Gu Shiyan's body.

If he just fell, why would there be nail marks? It's obvious that he was pinched.

"Second sister, did the second son of the Zhao family hit you?" As he said that, Gu Shijin pulled up Gu Shiyan's other hand and took a look. Fortunately, this hand was not injured.

Mother Gu was also smart. She took the opportunity to touch Gu Shiyan's back with quite a bit of force. Gu Shiyan felt it and smiled helplessly, saying, "Mom, Jin'er, Zhao Laoer really didn't hit me."

"Now my father and elder brother are both highly valued by the emperor, and you are favored by the emperor, so the Zhao family dare not bully me." Gu Shiyan patted Gu Shijin's hand and comforted him, "You are pregnant now, so you can't get angry."

Although Gu Shiyan's words sounded nice, Gu Shijin and Gu's mother both heard the hidden meaning. It was because their family was now on the rise and was highly valued by the emperor, so the Zhao family did not dare to bully Gu Shiyan.

And if their relationship as husband and wife was really good, why would Gu Shiyan directly call him Zhao Laoer?

"Sis, if you don't want me to be angry, then tell me what's going on?" Gu Shijin said.

"Yes." Mother Gu held Gu Shiyan's hand and said, "You usually don't tell me how you are doing in the Zhao family. If you are not doing well, I will ask your father and eldest brother to come to your house and seek justice for you."

Although their family is not wealthy, they have always been very good to their children. When they let Gu Shiyan marry the second son of the Zhao family, they thought that the Zhao family was not of high status and Gu Shiyan would not be bullied if she married into the family.

Now it seems that is not the case at all.

Seeing her mother and sister looking anxious, Gu Shiyan felt guilty. She didn't want to make her family worry about her, but she didn't expect that she would be exposed.

"Second sister, please tell me quickly." Gu Shijin was a little anxious.

"Jin'er, don't worry, I'll tell you." Gu Shiyan said helplessly.

She had always lived a relatively good life in the Zhao family, especially in the past two years, when the Gu family had become more and more important, so the Zhao family naturally did not dare to bully her.

It’s just that people at that time had old-fashioned ideas.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no one is the greatest.

Gu Shiyan has been married to Zhao Laoer for five years, but she has only had one daughter and has not been able to give birth to a son for the Zhao family.

Although the Zhao family was a little disappointed when they saw that Gu Shiyan gave birth to a daughter, they did not do anything. After all, Gu Shiyan was still young and could have children in the future. Moreover, Gu Shiyan was top-notch in appearance, talent, and temperament, so the Zhao family was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

But no one knew if it was because she hurt her body when she gave birth to her first child, but since then, Gu Shiyan has never been pregnant again.

After waiting for four years, Gu Shiyan still hasn't been able to get pregnant, so the Zhao family is naturally anxious. They can't rely on their daughter to support them in their old age.

So the Zhao family discussed taking a concubine for Zhao Laoer.

But now that the Gu family had risen, the Zhao family didn't dare to come openly, so they secretly let the concubine live outside, and only told Gu Shiyan when the concubine became pregnant with Zhao Laoer's child.

When Gu Shiyan first learned about this, she was naturally very angry and was ready to go back to her parents' home. However, everyone in the Zhao family came to persuade her, telling her that the concubine's child would be adopted by her as soon as it was born, and that the concubine would definitely not live in the Zhao family in the future. Gu Shiyan herself didn't care, but she had to think about her daughter.

If she went back to the Gu family and left her daughter in the Zhao family, her young daughter would definitely be bullied when a concubine came in. So Gu Shiyan agreed to let her stay in the Zhao family temporarily.

After listening to what Gu Shiyan said, Gu Shijin felt uncomfortable and even more angry.

"Scumbag!" Gu Shijin cursed, "Are they bullying me because there is no one in the Gu family?"

After hearing what Gu Shiyan said, Mother Gu's face turned very bad, and at the same time she felt extremely guilty. She felt that she had not cared enough about her daughter, which led to the Zhao family bullying her.

Gu Shiyan knew what her mother was thinking at a glance. She held her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I didn't tell you. It has nothing to do with you."

After all, she is already a married daughter, and her parents can't visit her every few days. It would not sound good if others spread the news.

Moreover, Gu Shiyan had no feelings for Zhao Laoer, so this incident did not cause much harm to her.

The reason she chose to marry Zhao Laoer was because he was good-looking. Gu Shiyan admitted that she was bewitched by his appearance.

At this moment, Gu Shijin also dug out from his original body's memory the reason why Gu Shiyan chose to marry Zhao Laoer.

Zhao Laoer was not a man of great ability, but fortunately he had a handsome face and a very sweet mouth. Gu Shiyan was still very naive at that time, and she had some girlish thoughts after all. Her love for him was also very pure at that time, and the two of them got together just like that.

Gu's father, Brother Gu, also did some research and found out that the Zhao family had a good reputation in the capital, and their family was not a wealthy family. Zhao's father was just a minor official in the capital, so Gu Shiyan would not have to suffer too much if she married into the family. So, the two got married soon.

In the first two years of their marriage, the two were still very loving, and Zhao Laoer did not indulge in debauchery. It was only in the past two years, because Gu Shiyan had not been able to give birth to a son, that the Zhao family began to have some small ideas.

Gu Shijin: “…”

Gu Shijin was speechless, she didn't know what to say.

"Since Zhao Lao Er didn't bully you, then how did the wound on your arm come about? It's obvious that someone pinched you. Don't tell me that you fell." Gu Shijin asked with a stern face, getting to the point right away.

Gu Shiyan was very worried about Gu Shijin's health, and she didn't dare to make her anxious, so she said, "It's Aunt Hua, the concubine of Zhao Laoer."

"Second sister, didn't you say that the concubine lives outside?" Gu Shijin asked.

Gu Shiyan: "After Aunt Hua became pregnant, the Zhao family took her back to the Zhao family, saying that it would be easier to take care of her."

Gu Shiyan was very calm when she said these words. She had already been extremely disappointed with the Zhao family, so naturally she would not be sad anymore.

"How dare you!" Gu Shijin couldn't help but slam the table, "The Zhao family is really going too far!"

"So, second sister, the wound on your arm was caused by Aunt Hua?"

Gu Shiyan shook her head. "Not entirely. When Aunt Hua was about to fall, I helped her up. She got scared and grabbed my hand. Then I lost my balance and fell down."

"It was Aunt Hua who pushed it, right?" Gu Shijin said slowly.
