Chapter 759 Who is telling the truth?
In the dim light, Gu Qianling could see that his brother looked very bad. He frowned and glanced at Meng Yunlan.
He was suspicious. He didn't understand what had happened to Meng Yunlan these past few days. Why did she keep coming to Gu Qianhan? Hadn't she been scolded by her mother yesterday for going to Gu Qianhan alone? Had she forgotten so quickly?
However, in front of so many people, he still gave Meng Yunlan face and did not question her. Instead, he asked Gu Qianhan: "Second brother, what happened? Did you have an argument with Yunlan?"
Just as Gu Qianhan was about to speak, Meng Yunlan spoke first, "No, why would I argue with my second brother? I just couldn't bear to see his capable subordinates, one of whom was punished by his sister-in-law to kneel for a whole day and night, and the other was demoted to the stable to do hard labor, so I came to mediate."
Gu Qianling was startled and looked at Shen Wantang: "I did hear the news that Mo Feng and Jixiang were punished this morning, but I thought it was my second brother who punished his men. How could it be my sister-in-law who punished them?"
Shen Wantang said calmly, "It's not me."
"Not my sister-in-law? Yunlan, why do you say she is my sister-in-law?"
Meng Yunlan sighed, "It's understandable that my sister-in-law doesn't want to admit it. After all, this isn't a good thing. We've never used such cruel punishments on servants in our mansion. Mo Feng has been kneeling for a whole day and night, and his legs are almost broken. How is he going to live the rest of his life?"
"He didn't actually do anything bad. He just stopped my younger brother's wife from entering my second brother's study. He's learned his lesson and suffered enough. I think we should let him go this time!"
"As a family, harmony is more important than anything else. My sister-in-law and my second brother shouldn't quarrel over such trivial matters. Otherwise, it will hurt the relationship between husband and wife and it will not be worth it."
"Don't worry, I've already told my second brother. He's learned his lesson this time, and he definitely won't dare to do that again next time."
"Second brother, please have a good talk with your sister-in-law. Tell her that she can enter your study from now on and no one will stop her anymore!"
The expression on Gu Qianhan's face changed from cold to sarcastic as Meng Yunlan spoke one sentence after another.
For the first time, he truly felt Meng Yunlan's disgusting intentions.
It turns out that what Shen Wantang faced every day in the backyard was this kind of hypocrisy with hidden ulterior motives and pretense.
Shen Wantang was not too surprised by what Meng Yunlan said. She was just glad that her relationship with Gu Qianhan was truly extraordinary. They had known each other for three lifetimes, and the trust and understanding between them was not something that others could easily break.
Moreover, the two of them did not let the little conflicts in their lives last night. They had already talked it out last night, and Gu Qianhan also apologized. Otherwise, Meng Yunlan, a good man, might have really let her pretend.
If she was not smart enough, she might even mistakenly believe that it was Meng Yunlan who persuaded Gu Qianhan, and that Gu Qianhan agreed to let her enter the study in the future. She might mistakenly believe that Gu Qianhan valued Meng Yunlan more than her as his wife.
Because what Meng Yunlan said was so true and the timing was just right.
No wonder she was able to deceive Gu Qianhan and Gu Qianning in the past, making the two siblings think that she was a very kind and generous sister-in-law. It turned out that she was so eloquent and good at confusing right and wrong to pretend to be a good person.
Unfortunately, even though Meng Yunlan had calculated everything, she still miscalculated one thing - the quarrel and cold war between her and Gu Qianhan were fake.
So, without waiting for her to speak, Gu Qianhan spoke up: "Sister-in-law, there must be something wrong with your brain. You've forgotten what I just said. I've already said that I punished Mo Feng and Jixiang. It has nothing to do with Atang. Why do you insist on blaming Atang? What's your intention?"
Meng Yunlan's face was a little stiff. She didn't expect Gu Qianhan to be so disrespectful to her!
It wasn’t like this before!
In the past, Gu Qianhan never gave face to anyone except her. Even when he was angry, he would listen to her.
But everything changed after Gu Qianhan married Shen Wantang!
She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, and her tone carried a hint of instruction: "Qianhan, I know you don't want your sister-in-law to bear the blame, so you took everything on yourself, but have you ever thought about whether this is really good for your sister-in-law? You shouldn't cover up for her. This is not conducive to her growth. She will encounter more problems in the future. Can you take the blame for everything for her?"
Gu Qianhan sneered, "Meng Yunlan, don't think that just because you married my eldest brother, you can do whatever you want and talk nonsense. Even if it was my eldest brother who wronged Atang today, I would still scold him, let alone you? I call you sister-in-law, and you really think you are a big shot? You have to sow discord here, saying that my men were punished by Atang, and then hypocritically pleading for my men, you are really despicable and shameless."
Meng Yunlan's eyes widened, a look of disbelief and hurt. "Second brother, you...how could you think of me like this? I just want you and your sister-in-law to reconcile. I don't want to see you become estranged over trivial matters so soon after your marriage. Is that wrong?"
Gu Qianhan's voice was as cold as ice: "Atang and I will never be estranged. Do you really need to point fingers at me?"
Meng Yunlan's eyes turned even redder. "Second brother, you're completely blaming me. Are you afraid that your sister-in-law will be angry? Well, as long as you two are fine, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little injustice. Since you said you punished your subordinates, then it's you who punished them. I won't argue with you."
Gu Qianling, who was standing by, listened for a long time and could no longer tell who was telling the truth, because what each of them said seemed to make sense and seemed to be true.
No wonder they say it’s hard for a judge to settle family disputes. He was so overwhelmed by what he heard.
He didn't care about his brother's harshness and sharp tongue, because Gu Qianhan had always spoken like that since he was a child. Not to mention Meng Yunlan, even when their biological father Gu Rongchang came, Gu Qianhan would behave like that and would even scold him more harshly.
It's just that Meng Yunlan hadn't been scolded enough by him in the past, so now he actually dared to provoke this evil star. Didn't he see that Gu Rongchang had already retreated?
Gu Qianling sighed and turned to look at the trembling guard hiding behind him: "Mo Feng, come here."
Mo Feng stepped forward timidly: "Greetings, Master."
"Tell me, who punished you?"
"It's the second young master."
"Then who punished Jixiang?"
"It's also the Second Young Master."
Gu Qianling looked at Meng Yunlan: "Second brother said that he was the one who punished him, and even Mo Feng himself said that it was Second brother who punished him. Why do you think it was your sister-in-law who punished you?"
A look of grievance appeared on Meng Yunlan's face. "What's the point of asking Mo Feng? He doesn't dare to say that it was his sister-in-law who punished him!"
Gu Qianling frowned: "Mo Feng, tell me the truth, who punished you?"
Mo Feng quickly said, "Young Master, it's really the Second Young Master. I didn't lie, and there's no need to lie! Because we did something wrong, there's no need for the Second Young Master's wife to take action. The Second Young Master has already punished us!"
