Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down

"I think we should ask Miss Jiang to come over!"

"I think it's a good idea, but I'm also afraid the sword is too valuable. I'd better listen to what she says!"

"Since she was able to bring this sword to the palace, it naturally shows their sincerity. We must not be rude."

The three elders discussed with each other, looked at each other, and nodded to each other to show their agreement, without considering the feelings of the others at all.

"Okay! I'll send someone to invite Miss Jiang right away."

Gong Shangjiao naturally understood what the elder said, and was also happy that the elder valued Miss Jiang. Before, he was worried that she would be wronged at the palace gate and it would be difficult to explain to the Jiang brothers.

“Remember to have a better attitude!”

"Yes!"

Gong Shangjiao turned around and gave instructions.

"Alas!" Elder Yue sighed and patted Gong Ziyu's shoulder earnestly.

"Since the person was lost in your Yu Palace, you are responsible for this matter... I asked you to come here today because I have another matter to discuss."

Seeing Gong Shangjiao coming back, several people sat back in their seats. Elder Yue smiled and spoke first.

"Zi Yu, your father and brother have passed away. According to the rules, you should observe a three-year mourning period. However, due to this incident, after consultation with the Elders Council, we hope that you can choose a husband in time to continue the lineage of the palace."

Gong Ziyu nodded in agreement without hesitation, and then Elder Yue looked at Gong Shangjiao who was standing beside him.

"Shang Jiao, you're not young anymore, it's time for you to get married, why not choose one too!"

"Brother Shangjiao has always been arrogant, how could he be willing to choose me..."

Gong Ziyu had been feeling depressed today, and now he finally got the chance to retaliate.

Gong Shangjiao pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Well, the palace has few descendants, so let's choose them all at once!"

Then he looked at Gong Ziyu and smiled coldly: "Brother Ziyu, just leave Shangguan Qian to me."

The situation suddenly reversed, and it became Gong Ziyu's turn to choose among the remaining brides. Gong Yuanzheng, who should have been happy, was worried instead.

"elder brother···"

Didn't we agree on how to deal with Wu Feng before? And since Shangguan Qian is such a big suspect, why did my brother still...

Jiu Ning wanted to watch the fun, he had planned to let that idiot Gong Ziyu choose a few more people, but...

Soon, Yunweishan, chosen by Gong Ziyu, and Shangguan Qian, chosen by Gong Shangjiao, arrived at the hall.

"Since you two have made your choices, starting tonight, they will serve as your attendants and live in Yumiya and Kakumiya!"

Yun Weishan and Shangguan Qian immediately smiled and were delighted, but were stopped by Gong Shangjiao.

"There's no need to be so hasty. This time, the marriage selection was exploited by Wufeng's people, leading to the tragic deaths of Old Zhiren and the young master. I suggest you proceed more carefully."

Then, a hint of mockery appeared in his cold eyes.

"I have already found a portrait artist to draw portraits of the two of you. It won't be too late to make a decision after we verify your identities."

"Yes, in this special period, it is never too careful. I hope the two ladies will forgive me."

Yun Weishan's body was tense and her fists were clenched. The elders had already spoken, so even if she was unwilling, she could only endure it.

"Even if we ride as fast as we can, it will take half a month to go back and forth. I wonder if we can go outside the valley to buy some daily necessities."

Shangguan Qian spoke slowly, still maintaining her gentle smile. She looked like a virtuous woman who would be a good mother in the future.

"No need, just tell the servants and they will buy it back in an hour."

Gong Shangjiao retorted coldly, showing no sign of affection at all for the bride he had just chosen.

"It won't take half a month. I've sent for the fastest horses and the best carrier pigeons. It will only take seven days."

Seven days? That's a good time! Jiu Ning said that Wufeng's Half Moon Flies would always attack earlier than expected, so by the time his brother's men returned, it would be almost time.

"Brother, your suggestion is excellent. The two brides are both weak and powerless. Only when the palace gates are secure will they have nothing to worry about."

"Seven days, isn't that too slow?"

Noticing Yun Weishan's unhappy expression, Gong Ziyu immediately started to show sympathy for her.

"Alas! Brother Ziyu, you are still in mourning and cannot get married immediately. It's only been seven days, can't you wait?"

"···"

Gong Ziyu was blocked. Since entering the hall, Gong Shangjiao had not shouted a word about holding the sword, which clearly meant that he did not recognize his identity.

Even Gong Yuanzheng, his younger brother, never took him seriously. He was sarcastic and opposed him at every turn. It was really hateful.

"Please ask the two brides to come forward and have their portraits painted!"

When family members quarrel, they cannot allow outsiders to watch and laugh at them. Elder Yue sent the two away in time.

"Elder, isn't this a bit unfair? It's right for the bride to be authenticated, and I agree with that. But why doesn't Gong Yuanzheng's bride need to be authenticated?"

The elder sitting on the seat looked at the sword in Gong Yuanzheng's hand and wanted to treat everyone equally, but felt that there was no need to do so.

"I can prove that I personally brought Miss Jiang back from the Jiang family, and..."

Everyone looked at Gong Shangjiao curiously.

Gong Yuanzheng had no idea what the connection was between the two, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. They had only known each other for too short a time.

"And what?"

"...and I've known her for several years, it can't be fake."

This statement is somewhat imaginative. After all, the Jiang family is a well-known family in the world, so how could a woman be easily seen by a man from outside?

"Well! Since Shang Jiao has testified, let's not discuss this matter any further."

"The elder is right... Brother Zi Yu, instead of caring about others, you should care about yourself."

Gong Shangjiao didn't want to discuss Jiu Ning's affairs anymore, so he changed the subject.

"Me? What can I do?"

"Brother Zi Yu, haven't you noticed that I've never called you to wield the blade since you entered the hall? It's not easy for me to shout wield the blade."

“It’s not difficult…”

Gong Ziyu's expression became even colder, and there was hatred in his eyes.

"Really? According to the Gong family rules, the successor must be a descendant of the palace within the palace. Are you one?"

"W-what do you mean?"

"Brother is trying to say that if you are not a descendant of the palace, then this inheritance is ridiculous..."

Gong Yuanzheng was not far behind in biting Gong Ziyu whenever he got the chance.

"As everyone knows, Madam Lan has always had a lover outside the palace. She agreed to marry him because of the power of the palace. However, she gave birth prematurely before the tenth month of pregnancy... This is unavoidable..."

Gong Ziyu was furious and didn't care about anything else. At this moment, he just wanted to tear Gong Yuanzheng to pieces. He thought so and did it.

Gong Ziyu quickly ran up to Gong Yuanzheng, grabbed his collar, raised his fist and was about to hit him.

How could Gong Yuanzheng let him succeed? He was also unwilling to give in, so the two of them started fighting in the hall.

"Shang Jiao, don't worry about your brother."

Gong Shangjiao quickly came between the two of them and slapped them in the face.

Snapped!

At this moment, the door creaked open.
