Chapter 156 Brother and Sister
Gu Yucheng glanced at his father and saw the clear palm print on his face. He couldn't help but clench his hands hidden in his sleeves.
It was easy to break off relations with Sun, and even killing her was a piece of cake.
But the humiliation that they and their son had endured over the years could not be offset by taking her life.
He took a deep breath, retracted his gaze and said in a cold voice: "Kill the king and seize the throne."
Hearing the words "regicide and seizing the throne", Sun's face turned horrified.
She looked at Gu Yucheng in shock and lowered her voice, "Are you crazy? This is treason!"
Although she was worried about the prince's situation, she never thought of letting him take the path of rebellion, knowing that doing so could lead to eternal damnation.
By then, not to mention being able to rule the world, all of these people will be buried with him.
Gu Yucheng said: "This is the only way, while the crown prince's position as heir has not been abolished, it is better to make plans early.
Otherwise, once Your Majesty deposes the Crown Prince and enthrones Prince Ling, there will be no chance anymore."
Sun was just a woman. How could she make up her mind about something as serious as treason?
She came to Gu Ming'an at the Queen's request, asking him to find a way to preserve the Crown Prince's position as heir to the throne.
But she didn't expect her son to be so bold that he could even talk about treason.
Seeing that Gu Mingan had no objection, she thought that he also agreed, but treason was not a trivial matter after all.
"That's easy to say. If it were really that simple, Her Majesty the Queen wouldn't be so worried."
Gu Yucheng said in a deep voice: "Instead of waiting to die, it is better to give it a try.
Mother, just tell the Queen what I said. If she agrees, my father and I will start to discuss countermeasures. If she disagrees, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
There was no other way at the moment, so Sun had to agree.
She walked over to Gu Yucheng, reached out and touched his head, and said, "My son is much more useful than your father."
She didn't even want to look at Gu Mingan again and turned and left the study.
Gu Mingan sat down at the table and smoothed out the painting that was crumpled by Sun. He asked, "Where did you go today?"
Gu Yucheng did not answer his question. He said, "If you want to endure such days, you can continue to endure them. Anyway, I have had enough."
"Is it because of Song Shiwei?"
Gu Mingan had long guessed that Song Shiwei's lawsuit against Cheng Enbo had a significant impact on his son.
Although both of them had their biological mothers murdered, Song Shiwei avenged her mother on her own, while his son could do nothing.
"Dad, do you really want to avenge my mother?"
Gu Yucheng asked him while standing in front of the table.
Gu Mingan paused, looked at his son suspiciously and asked, "Do you doubt me?"
"Is what you are going to do more important or is revenge for your mother more important?
You always say you have to consider the overall situation, and you made my mother wait year after year for this. I wonder how long you plan to let her wait?"
Hearing his son's question, Gu Mingan's face turned ugly. He slammed the table and stood up and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?
Don’t you know why I’m doing this?”
"My son knows."
Gu Yucheng looked at his father with cold eyes and said, "I can understand, but I think it's not worth it for mother to wait for so many years for your great cause."
He took a deep breath and said, "In my son's heart, nothing is more important than my mother's revenge."
After leaving these words, he turned and left the study, disappearing into the night.
Gu Mingan fell into the chair, and a layer of mist gradually appeared in his eyes.
He stood up and walked to the painting of "Bank Reeds and Orchids" hanging on the wall. He reached out and gently stroked the painting, muttering, "Ah Heng, am I really wrong?"
The only answer he got was the silence in the room.
……
Gu Yucheng returned to his yard with a murderous aura. When he looked up, he saw a thin figure standing in the night.
Seeing him coming back, Gu Tinglan hurriedly came up to him and asked, "Brother, how are things going? Have Dad and Mom made up?"
Gu Yucheng looked at her, his throat felt so blocked that he couldn't utter a word.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Gu Tinglan reached out and touched his head and asked nervously, "Did mother scold you?"
Gu Yucheng’s thoughts drifted away.
Before his sister was born, Sun did beat and scold him. At that time, he was still young and didn't know that she was not his biological mother.
He just thought that he didn't do well enough to make his mother happy.
After his sister was born, his mother's attitude towards him softened and she smiled more often, but she would still punish him when she was unhappy.
Once, Sun got angry for some unknown reason and punished him by making him kneel in the snow.
Just when he was about to die of cold, his three-year-old sister ran over and hugged him.
She smelled of milk and was soft and warm.
Perhaps because his sister liked him, his mother gradually became kinder to him.
It was not until he was eight years old that his father told him the truth and he knew that Sun was not his biological mother.
His biological mother was killed by Sun when he was born.
After learning the truth, he did something that he would never be able to forgive in his life.
He transferred his hatred towards Sun onto his sister and pushed his sister into the lake with his own hands, intending to drown her in revenge on Sun.
But he regretted it the moment his sister fell into the water, and he tried his best to rescue her.
However, after waking up, the sister only said that she accidentally fell into the lake, and she did not tell the truth of the matter.
He locked himself in his room and cried all night.
Later, the younger sister still liked to be close to him. Even if he looked cold and ignored her, she would still stick to him and call him brother.
There were countless times when he struggled between hatred and family affection. He knew that once he took revenge, the one who would be hurt the most would be his sister.
He also knew that his sister was innocent, but he hated his father for letting Sun give birth to his daughter and letting her be involved in this hatred even though he clearly didn't like her.
Thinking of this, Gu Yucheng felt particularly tormented, and the better his sister treated him, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"Brother, don't scare me."
Seeing that he didn't say a word, as if he had lost his soul, Gu Tinglan couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Gu Yucheng calmed down and replied tiredly, "It's okay. Mother has gone back to rest. You should go back and rest too."
Gu Tinglan pouted and said, "You are lying to me. You are obviously worried about something, but you always tell me nothing.
I am not a child anymore. Sister Song has taught me a lot, and I can also share your worries."
When Gu Yucheng heard her mention Song Shiwei, he asked, "What did she teach you?"
Gu Tinglan's eyes twinkled with admiration as she said, "At first she taught me knowledge, and later she taught me principles.
And Sister Song also gave me a question, and I still don’t know how to solve it? "
Gu Yucheng asked curiously, "What's the question?"
