Quick Wear: The bad female supporting role, the male protagonist prefers

"Lan'er, come here quickly. How can you have any say in your father's decision?"

Seeing the displeasure on Gu Zongqing's face, Mrs. Gu quickly stopped Gu Shulan from pleading, pulled her aside, and watched quietly.

Why did this child suddenly plead for Gu Shutang? Didn't she always complain to her that Gu Shutang stole her father's attention?

After Gu Zongqing felt unhappy, he thought that Gu Shulan was pleading for this evil girl out of consideration for their relationship, and he felt relieved.

He had a good way of raising his children. Even though they had constant quarrels, his second daughter still pleaded for her sister out of sibling love. Unfortunately, his eldest daughter had violated his biggest taboo.

"Lan'er, I know you care about your sibling relationship, but the country has its laws, and the family has its rules. I will not let your elder sister go. If you beg for mercy on her behalf again, you will have to kneel down in the ancestral hall and reflect on your sins."

"Remember this, if anyone else makes the same mistake as her, not only you, but also your biological mother will be implicated. Xu has raised the eldest girl improperly, causing her to become what she is now. You will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane."

If it weren't for the fact that Xu gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, Gu Zongqing would have wanted to beat her to death.

At first, out of pity for her and the other concubines who had no children, they raised the girls in their families with their respective biological mothers. Now it seems that it is better for the girl to be raised by the mistress so that such embarrassing things will not happen.

After hearing this, Gu Shuye's heart started pounding, recalling the conversation she had just overheard at the courtyard gate, and the words that her father, who was not very close to her, was saying to her sisters.

Gu Shuye couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

In the five years since she traveled through time, her elder sister Gu Shutang has always been loved by this Shangshu father, and he was the first one who did not want to give up on his elder sister.

Gu Shuye looked dazed. If what she and Fu Boan had planned were to be exposed, her father would probably be even more vicious than he is now. Gu Shuye thought of her biological mother, Aunt Jiang.

Although she had only been with Aunt Jiang for five years, Gu Shuye truly regarded her as her biological mother. She really couldn't bear to see Aunt Jiang implicated by her, and she was afraid that elopement would not work.

Gu Shuye pinched her wrist, trying to calm herself down, lowering her head like the other sisters, as if she was afraid of the cruel scene that was about to unfold and didn't dare to look up.

She had to find a good time to discuss it with Fu Baian. Eloping was really a bad idea. If Fu Baian worked hard, the Fu family might not be able to accept their marriage.

"Father, Second Sister is right. Eldest Sister and Concubine Xu are not guilty of such a crime. Please think twice!"

Gu Shuye hesitated for a long time before pleading for Gu Shutang. The others followed suit. They said that these were just minor frictions on weekdays. They didn't hate Gu Shutang to that extent. They still hoped that she could learn from this lesson and be a good girl in the Gu family.

"Hmph, her innocence is gone. The Gu family will never tolerate her. You don't need to say anything more."

"Mrs. Xu also gave birth to a son for you. Even if she didn't do anything meritorious, she still worked hard."

"Please spare them this time for the sake of my second brother."

"If it weren't for Xu's contribution to giving birth, she would have suffered more than twenty beatings by now."

"If you quarrel again, you will kneel before our ancestors for a whole day and night to atone for your eldest sister's sins."

Seeing that they were not afraid of the punishment of kneeling in the ancestral hall and still wanted to plead for their eldest daughter, Gu Zongqing threatened his daughters fiercely before they shut up.

After threatening them, he did not forget to warn them: "Remember, your eldest sister fell and is bedridden today. Aunt Xu was worried about her daughter, so she accidentally fell in the yard. Don't mention anything else, otherwise don't blame me for not considering the father-daughter relationship."

He called the housekeeper and asked him to strip Aunt Xu apart, and then the housekeeper personally attacked Gu Shutang and her daughter.

Gu Shuye turned her face away, unable to bear to see the fate of her elder sister lying on the ground. She was alone in this backward era, and it was a rare blessing for her to be able to take care of her and her aunt. She really did not have the ability to help an elder sister who was not very close to her.

But when she saw Aunt Xu protecting Gu Shutang and refusing to leave, she thought of her aunt who was timid but loved her, and her eyes were firm.

Seeing that Aunt Xu refused to leave, her father still did not let go, and even looked like he wanted to beat Aunt Xu together.

Gu Shuye thought that her aunt must be no exception in Gu Zongqing's heart and would receive the same treatment.

She couldn't let her aunt be harmed to this extent for the sake of her own love. She was her only relative here.

Just as the stick was about to fall on Gu Shutang and her daughter, Gu Shutang "happened" to wake up and pushed Aunt Xu aside, not wanting the woman who was so eager to protect her daughter to get hurt.

She met Gu Zongqing's eyes without sadness or fear, "Father, my aunt is innocent, you should not implicate her."

"Hmph, since you've done such a shameful thing, don't blame me for being heartless. All the suffering that the Xu family has endured is because of you, a shameless daughter."

"Your adulterer is still imprisoned in the woodshed, Tang'er. You've truly disappointed your father. I love you dearly, and for the sake of the Gu family's century-old reputation, you will actively cooperate with your father, right?"

"I will never let you be alone. I will send your adulterer to accompany you."

Gu Zongqing had no intention of reducing the punishment on Aunt Xu. He had already said it and there was no way he would change his mind, otherwise where would his prestige be.

Gu Shutang lowered her eyes, thinking of a countermeasure, at least to prevent Concubine Xu from receiving these twenty strokes of the cane. The next second, she heard 5834 suddenly wake up and report to her:

[Congratulations to the host for completing the first major plot. You have successfully used yourself as a negative example to make the heroine realize that elopement is not the first solution to the problem.]

Gu Shutang felt relieved after hearing this. Since the mission had been completed, there was no need for her to endure the whipping in the plot.

"Father, the adulterer you're referring to is the Queen Mother's youngest son, the Emperor's younger brother, Prince Jin."

Gu Shutang protected Aunt Xu behind him and was not worried about the threats from Gu Zongqing.

"I hope, father, that you will think carefully before making a decision and not provoke the emperor's wrath."

His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?

The person who committed adultery with his eldest daughter was His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, who was a womanizer and had never had a woman by his side even though he was over 25 years old?

Gu Zongqing felt incredible for a moment, especially when he thought about the unconscious Prince Jin being locked up in the kitchen like a prisoner.

Gu Zongqing's legs were almost trembling. He ordered his confidants to keep a close eye on Gu Shutang's yard and not let even a fly fly out, while he himself strode towards the woodshed.

He glanced at Madam Gu who was following beside him and scolded her harshly, "You ignorant woman, why didn't you find out the identity of the adulterer before catching him?"

"If it really is Prince Jin, our Gu family is in danger."

Gu Zongqing believed what Mrs. Gu said. The adulterer only had a face and was an actor who was not presentable. He didn't even want to look at the adulterer's appearance.
