Chapter 269: Gong Shangjiao is furious
Gong Yuanzheng realized that he couldn't get away with it, so he simply admitted it.
He also said confidently: "Whether it was against my will or not, I was very sad that my brother slapped me in front of those people. I was even more sad that my brother treated me the same way as Gong Ziyu, who I don't usually interact with."
In order to show that he was really sad, Gong Yuanzheng's eyes turned red and tears welled up in his eyes.
"My brother told me that when I am sad, I should shed tears so that others can know that I am sad. But I couldn't shed tears at that time and couldn't tell my brother that I was sad. I told Zhao Zhao because I needed comfort."
His bachelor attitude made Gong Shangjiao at a loss for words.
Gong Shangjiao pursed his lips, and after a while, he softened his tone and said, "Then what do you think my brother should do if the situation like that in the palace really happened?"
Gong Yuanzheng didn't understand why he was slapped, but he knew how to grasp the key points: "For ten years, my brother and I have depended on each other. Jiaogong was supported by my brother, and Zhenggong was supported by me. They never lent us a helping hand, but relied on us to survive. They never gave us fairness, but now do they think fairness is important?
If they want to use the ancestral rules to argue, haven't they broken enough ancestral rules for Yu Gong? Could it be that the ancestral rules were set up specifically for Jiao and Zheng, and others can trample on them, but we brothers have to abide by them?
Even if I did something wrong, my brother should protect me without hesitation and let him punish me if he wants. My brother is not someone who will let me make the same mistake again and again, right? Why do you have to talk about fairness in front of people who can't stand seeing us do well, and hurt my face and wrong me? "
He was actually a little sad at this moment. He stared at Gong Shangjiao with his eyes wide open stubbornly, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Gong Shangjiao was shocked and subconsciously avoided his gaze, but could not help but reflect on himself.
The power that was always watching him wanted to intervene when it saw that something was wrong, but was afraid that Zhang Xueming would launch a surprise attack and discover it, so it could only watch resentfully as Gong Shangjiao broke free from the shackles of the mindset that "it is wrong to violate family rules and fight openly in the hall" and became clear-headed again.
Gong Shangjiao figured it out. He stood up, walked around the tea table, sat down next to Gong Yuanzheng, put his arm around his shoulders and shook him: "Yuanzheng, don't cry. I was just thinking the wrong thing. Yuanzheng is right. Yuanzheng is the person closest to me. No matter what happens, I shouldn't let Yuanzheng suffer for others."
Gong Yuanzheng was very happy to hear his words. He shouted "Zhao Zhao" in his heart. After getting a response, he couldn't wait to tell her: [Zhao Zhao, my brother apologized to me! ]
While wiping his tears, he babble to Zhao Zhao in his heart.
He was so happy to get a reply of [Ayuan is awesome], and he also said considerately: [Zhao Zhao has been taking care of me all the time, it's so hard. I don't know how long it will take for me to go back, Zhao Zhao, go do your own thing, and don't forget to come and see me every day. ]
[…I can’t bear to be separated from Ayuan. Staying with Ayuan is the most important thing for me now.]
Gong Yuanzheng burst into laughter, his face flushed with shyness.
Gong Shangjiao didn't expect that this guy would let himself go once he was no longer being monitored, and would broadcast live to Zhang Xueming at any time. He just thought that he was embarrassed, and patted his head, saying softly: "Okay, go to bed. We don't know what that thing will do tomorrow. We have to be careful that it will disturb our mood and take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in."
Gong Yuanzheng nodded.
Gong Shangjiao thought about it and still felt uneasy, so he added, "If something like this happens again tomorrow and we can't resist at that time, we can sit down and talk properly after the plot is over."
What he meant was, you should stop complaining, your brother is really scared.
Gong Yuanzheng grinned so hard that his teeth were visible and his eyes were invisible: "I understand, brother."
As a result, the plot unfolded the next night, and Gong Shangjiao didn't have any chance to sit down and have a good talk with Gong Yuanzheng. Gong Yuanzheng was pushed out by Gong Shangjiao and thrown into the dungeon awaiting trial because of the accusation made by Manager Jia in the hall and the fact that there was no evidence to prove his wrongdoing, as well as Gong Ziyu's persistence and the elders' suspicion.
Gong Shangjiao cursed in his heart as he was controlled to search the manager's office of the clinic. He found a bladeless charm-level token in Manager Jia's residence, but due to the plot, he had to wait until dawn to deliver this so-called evidence to the elders, and by the way, send Gong Ziyu to the Three Realms Trial.
What is unexpected is that even going to the dungeon to pick up Gong Yuanzheng is part of the plot.
Gong Shangjiao watched Gong Yuanzheng walk out of the dungeon, wearing only a basic uniform without any ornaments on his body. This was exactly the treatment of a criminal who had been stripped of his clothes and ornaments and frozen all night. He was furious.
How absurd it is that a steward's unfounded slander without any evidence caused the master of a palace who had made great contributions to the palace to suffer such a great humiliation!
What's even more ridiculous is that he pushed his brother into this situation with his own hands.
That power would design this kind of plot. In its view, Gong Shangjiao is such a person who does not distinguish between relatives and strangers, and would sacrifice his brother to temporarily calm the situation for the sake of a group of people who rely on them to survive?
Ridiculous!
However, the drama continues.
Gong Shangjiao took Gong Yuanzheng back to Jiao Palace. After a brief conversation, Gong Shangjiao suggested that Gong Yuanzheng pick up Shangguan Qian to Jiao Palace. Gong Yuanzheng had to be controlled and went to the women's guest house.
No chance to breathe.
Watching Gong Yuanzheng's figure disappear at the door, nearly a quarter of an hour passed before Gong Shangjiao regained control of his body.
The calmness on his face disappeared instantly. His expression was ferocious like an enraged beast, and he punched the tea table fiercely: "What a plot!"
Gong Shangjiao was planning to chase after the scene to see when this plot would end, but his body was no longer under his control.
Gong Shangjiao stared at the messy tea table with deep eyes and gave up the idea. After regaining control of his body, he stood up and walked to the study room opposite the palace door.
It was the darkest place in the entire main hall. Even if there was a floor-standing palace lantern that was always lit during the day, the light was still dim.
He sat down behind the desk. The faint light cast a deep shadow on his fair face. His eyes were cold and suppressed.
The breeze stirred the surface of the ink pond, causing ripples to spread out.
Suicide is not allowed, and the strong emotional impact can only temporarily repel the power but cannot prevent it from coming back... So what should I do to get out of my current situation? Is it really the only way to wait until the entire plot is played out?
This is already their sixth day here.
Regardless of whether the time in the real world is consistent with the time here, they actually spent these six days and needed to eat and rest.
If this continues, sooner or later they will get used to this kind of life where they have to wait for the plot every day and live a normal life when there is no plot, and gradually their hearts will be worn down.
Would this be a good thing?
Isn't this another form of pollution?
