Gu Chengyi listened, his expression also darkened, but then he began to hatch another plan in his heart. It now seemed that the fifth son was quite promising. If the family were divided today, wouldn't he miss out on the benefits? If the fifth son became a Scholar, the advantages would be self-evident!
He hesitated a bit, unsure whether the family should be divided. It would take three more years for the second son to take the exam. Moreover, there was no guarantee of passing next time, right?
He sneered, "My son failed the exam, but it completed the fifth son instead!"
"You all know what happened today. Now, let's discuss a strategy. That Lv Yang loves to spread rumors. If he goes out and talks nonsense, won't it harm the Gu Family? We have plenty of scholars and many girls in the family. This heart of his is truly malicious!" Considering the two elders beside him, Mr. Gu couldn't speak too bluntly.
