Chapter 1576 Punishment
One hour later, the sky was completely dark.
But Gu's family is brightly lit.
Everyone stayed in the lobby, Gu Tingqiu sat in the chair directly above, holding the letter given to him by his daughter and the imperial concubine with one hand, and holding the armrest of the chair with the other hand.
His nails were all white.
In front of him, in the center of the lobby, Si Muzhen stood.
She was also wrapped in the whirlwind that came back from the palace. Although this time was different from what she had been wrapped in a quilt before, she was wearing clothes inside, but this whirlwind was like her fig leaf.
She held her tightly.
The people around her looked at her with doubt, anxiety, and even resentment. All of these emotions were like swords and swords, slashing at her.
Only that thin flare seemed to help her resist some.
At this time, Gu Tingqiu finished reading the letter in his hand.
His hands tightened, and he suddenly pinched the letter into a ball, slapped the table with a bang.
"Damn it!"
This sound made the entire lobby shake as if it was shaken. The cups on the table were shaken to the ground and smashed, and everyone stood up.
"Father?"
"uncle?"
Although everyone knew something was wrong when they saw this situation, they didn't know what big thing happened, which made Gu Tingqiu, who had always been calm and cautious, furious. He was so angry that he even trembled with his beard. He looked up at Si Muzhen and gritted his teeth and said, "Kneel down for me!"
This time, Si Muzhen did not resist.
She is the youngest daughter of the Si family. She has never seen her father since she was a child. She grew up under her mother's spoilage. This uncle is like her father.
She bit her lower lip and slowly knelt in front of Gu Tingqiu.
Gu Tingqiu said: "You did a good job!"
Si Muzhen buried her head very low.
Si Muyun, who was beside him, frowned. Of course, he was also a little worried about his sister and asked hurriedly: "Uncle, what's wrong with Muzhen?"
Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian and others also said, "What mistake did Mu Zhen make?"
"Don't be too angry, uncle."
"Yes, be careful to get angry."
Gu Tingqiu said: "Make a mistake? Is this a mistake?"
He said, his fingers trembling, pointing at Si Muzhen: "What did you do, tell everyone yourself!"
Everyone looked at her.
Si Muyun hurriedly said, "Muzhen, what did you do?"
Si Muzhen gritted her teeth and simply lifted the wind flare on her body. When everyone saw that she was wearing a coarse cloth dress, she was shocked.
How could she change into such clothes when she entered the palace?
Where is her own clothes?
Gu Yiyou hurriedly said, "What's going on?"
Si Muzhen stumbled her neck and said, "I, I'm serving the emperor, but I didn't do it!"
"What?!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't believe their ears.
Si Muyun's face turned pale: "You"
Gu Tingqiu was so angry that his face turned pale and he was almost breathless. Gu Qiqing, who was beside him, hurriedly walked to him, carefully smeared his back and said softly: "Don't be angry, Father."
"If you don't get angry, can I not be angry?"
Gu Tingqiu said: "As the third lady of the Si family and a lady from a famous family, you should be careful in your words and actions. You should know that if you take a wrong step, you will never be able to recover. And you, you did such a thing!"
Si Muyun also said, "Little sister, you are too much!"
"What's wrong with me?!"
One day after another, Si Muzhen was scolded like this, and Si Muzhen was also angry: "Why can't I do it because Si Nanyan is doing it? If I succeed today, I will be the emperor's concubine. You will face me like she is facing her? I am just a failure!"
"You still dare to be stubborn?"
Gu Tingqiu said angrily: "You are serving the emperor's sleep? Do you want to be the emperor's concubine? Why? It's up to you, it's up to you, it's up to you."
As a famous scholar, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't speak the word, so he just clenched his fist and pounded the table.
Si Muzhen gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
Gu Tingqiu shook his head in anger, with tears in his eyes and sighed: "I have told my sister a long time ago that you can't let you do whatever you want, but she doesn't listen."
“…”
"The Si family was originally a famous family and their brothers were unparalleled in national ranks, but they couldn't help but raise your sisters!"
Si Muyun, who was beside him, frowned as he heard this.
At this time, his mother Gu Tingchun had already stayed in her hometown in Henan. She was still sad about her eldest daughter's affairs these days, and even felt that the imperial concubine's punishment was too severe. However, she did not expect that after only one New Year, the younger sister would cause such a scandal again.
He sighed.
Then he asked, "Uncle, how should she punish the little sister?"
"punish?"
Speaking of this, Gu Tingqiu sneered: "If we want to punish, can our family still have a stable life?"
Everyone was shocked.
"how?"
"Is it?"
Gu Tingqiu said: "This matter was handled by the emperor. The emperor left this face to our family and did not punish her publicly, but just handed her over to the empress."
“…”
"And the Empress, the Empress did not want to punish her."
“…”
"The Empress said that Mu Yun still has an official position, and the Gu family and Tong family brothers also have ambitions that have not been fulfilled. They are even more worried that things will come out and Qing Qing will come in the future."
Speaking of this, he looked at his daughter deeply and said, "Qi Qing's future will be greatly affected."
Gu Qiqing immediately lowered his head.
Indeed, there are women in the family who have caused such a scandal, especially big families like them. I am afraid that other families will pass on their family as a joke, and they are even more worried that their daughter's upbringing will definitely be affected.
"So, the Empress will not punish this matter seriously."
Hearing this, Si Muzhen's eyes lit up.
Not severely punished?
Then I won't
However, just as she looked up, Gu Tingqiu said again: "But, you can't let you do anything wrong again, otherwise our family will be implicated by you."
Si Muyun said: "That Muzhen"
Gu Tingqiu said: "The Empress said that she had been suffering from disasters and illnesses these days, and she should have sacrificed herself to become a monk to avoid disasters. However, as a concubine, she had to serve the emperor and could not become a monk in person. Therefore, she let Mu Zhen be her substitute and become a monk in the temple!"
When Si Muzhen heard this, he was shocked.
"What? She wants me to become a monk?"
"good!"
Gu Tingqiu said: "Only in this way can you be content with yourself and no longer bring disaster to your relatives or to our families. From today on, you will think about your mistakes behind closed doors and not be allowed to leave Gu's mansion for a second. I will find a temple for you and send you there when you choose an auspicious day!"
"I don't want it!"
