Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 223 Alzheimer’s disease

Faced with Lord Gu's accusation, Su Yue looked at him with suspicion and asked in confusion, "Father, didn't my mother pass away many years ago?"

How could I possibly poison her? Are you mistaken? Or are you just getting old and confused?

"You should call a doctor over quickly, but to my opinion, you don't seem to have Alzheimer's disease!"

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Lord Gu's heart, leaving him speechless and at a loss for words.

Enraged, he slammed his hand on the table beside him. The force of the impact caused the teacup on the table to shake violently, spilling tea all over the table.

"Did you send someone to deliver a pot of flowers to Madam yesterday?" Lord Gu's face was frighteningly gloomy. He suppressed his anger and stared at the person in front of him, questioning him sharply.

"Yes, I did send out a potted plant yesterday. Is there a problem?" Su Yue looked completely innocent, blinking her big eyes, as if she had no idea what had happened.

Gu Yu, who was standing to the side, was already sobbing uncontrollably. Tears streamed down her face like broken beads, and her delicate body trembled slightly: "Then why won't you admit to poisoning my mother?"

Third brother, how could you be so cruel! Waaah..." she cried as she looked at Su Yue with mournful eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Upon hearing this, Su Yue's eyes widened in disbelief: "Hey! You're not right about that!"

When did I poison your mother? This is utter slander! Where is justice?

"No, I must go to my grandfather to seek justice for me." As she spoke, her eyes gradually reddened, tears welling up in them, showing that she had suffered immense injustice.

At this moment, Lord Gu could no longer bear it. He waved his hand and shouted angrily, "You ungrateful wretch, you have committed a terrible mistake and you still refuse to repent!"

"Guards, bring me the whip! Today I'm going to teach this disobedient son a lesson!"

At his command, a group of servants quickly surrounded the front hall, while Uncle Zheng, standing to the side, respectfully handed over the whip in his hand.

Seeing this, Su Yue remained calm and shouted, "What did I do wrong? You want to punish me without even knowing the facts!"

Hmph, let me tell you, that flower was planted in my yard by Aunt Jiang. I only did it to express my gratitude, specifically choosing the most lush and beautiful one in the yard and having someone dig it up and return it to her!

In the end, it turned out I was the one who poisoned her. This Gu family is completely unreasonable. If you insist on framing me, don't blame me for disowning you as my father." Su Yue stood up and confronted Lord Gu.

Lord Gu stared wide-eyed at Madam Jiang Ying with astonishment, asking incredulously, "Is what he said true?"

Jiang Ying's delicate body trembled slightly, and she frantically wiped away the tears that had slid down her cheeks with a handkerchief in her hand, her sobs coming out intermittently.

She softly defended herself, "My lord, you are wise. It is true that I ordered the flowers in Yuan'er's courtyard to be planted, but I really knew nothing about those poisonous flowers!" After saying this, she cried even more sadly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

However, at this moment, Jiang Ying was secretly filled with resentment.

Considering that she has been Madam Gu for so many years, how dare that disrespectful brat still call her Aunt Jiang?

It was an utter humiliation, a complete disgrace. How could she possibly tolerate such an insult?

Seeing this, Gu Chuan quickly got up and walked to Jiang Ying's side, gently supporting her shoulder.

At the same time, he pleaded with Lord Gu, saying, "Father, please calm down. This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Mother."

"Think about it, in this vast manor, all affairs, big and small, are managed by Mother. It's not uncommon for those with ill intentions to take advantage and secretly sabotage things."

"Now you're saying you're being wronged? Hah, that's utterly ridiculous!"

Su Yue glared angrily at Lord Gu, a disdainful sneer playing on her lips. "Lord Gu, since you distrust me so much, then from now on we don't need to pretend to be a loving father and son anymore, hmph!"

Before she finished speaking, Su Yue turned and left without looking back, not wanting to stay and listen to their babbling.

They started arguing so early in the morning, I'm getting a little hungry.

Seeing this, Dali quickly followed.

At this moment, Lord Gu remained standing still, seemingly stunned by Su Yue's words.

Just as Su Yue was about to step out of the front hall, Lord Gu finally came to his senses and became so angry that his face turned red.

He roared furiously, "What did you call me? Lord Gu? You unfilial son, how dare you speak to me like that!"

"Get back here right now! If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'll beat you to death!"

However, upon hearing Lord Gu's angry roar, Su Yue not only did not stop, but ran even faster.

The servants had already brought over a steaming hot breakfast and neatly arranged it on the stone table in the courtyard.

Gu Yuan stood in the center of the courtyard, occasionally peeking towards the entrance.

When they sat down to eat, Su Yue had almost finished eating. She put down her chopsticks and told Gu Yuan everything that had happened in the front hall.

Gu Yuan listened quietly without saying a word, but the undisguised disappointment in his eyes filled his entire face.

Seeing this, Su Yue sighed softly and said gently, "Don't be too sad."

It should be noted that there are quite a few parents in this world who do not love their children.

Since that's the case, why not just consider them as completely unimportant? Why be upset about it?

"I'll just assume your fate was short-lived." After saying that, she gently patted Gu Yuan's shoulder to comfort him.

After a brief pause, Su Yue got up and left her seat, going into her room to change into a more comfortable set of clothes.

Then she prepared to go out with Dali to explore the bustling and lively capital city.

At this moment, Gu Yuan's mood was extremely complicated. His heart felt as if it were entangled by thousands of threads, making him feel unbearably heavy.

He stayed in the courtyard and did not go out with them.

When the two women reached the gate, two burly gatekeepers immediately blocked their way.

One of the servants looked troubled and hesitated before speaking, "Um... Third Young Master, the Marquis has instructed you to stay in the manor and reflect on your actions, and not to leave without permission. Otherwise... otherwise, the family rules will be applied!"

However, Su Yue completely disregarded what Lord Gu said.

Lord Gu always tries to intimidate people with family rules, but she doesn't fall for that!

Why should we obey him and stay obediently in the manor? Not a chance!

Since she can't go through the main gate, surely she can climb over the wall to get out?
