Peaceful Farm Life Chapter 2656 - 2657: Return to Tianyun (223)

Before Su Changyi and the others could speak, Gong Juese walked over to Su Yuxin and said to her, "Yuxin, Sizhi wants to marry Shi Zhenzhen. He has wronged you in this matter, but he is, after all, SeSe Grandma’s son. Considering SeSe Grandma, just let it go. His engagement with Shi Zhenzhen is already settled; you can’t make him break off the marriage, can you?"

Before Su Yuxin could respond, Su Changyi snapped, "If he had the guts to propose at someone else’s house, didn’t he have the courage to tell us in advance?"

An Yiqing immediately chimed in, "Exactly!"

Gong Juese turned and said to An Yiqing, "Qinger, no matter what, Sizhi is your cousin by marriage. Even if you don’t help him, you don’t need to add fuel to the fire!"

An Yiqing said, "He’s already in the wrong here. I’m already being considerate by not hitting him. Aunt, I beg you, don’t protect him like this, alright? Wrong is wrong, and he needs to face everyone’s anger!"

Gong Le first tugged at An Yiqing, signaling for him to soften his tone, then smiled humbly at Gong Juese, "Aunt, you’re not someone who doesn’t understand the situation. This matter can’t just be brushed off, or else Yuxin won’t have been wronged for nothing."

Gong Juese also knew the situation had gotten a bit out of hand, especially since it involved An Jing and Su Changyi’s precious granddaughter, so she could only ask, "Then how do you plan to settle this? Let me tell you first, any severe punishment is unacceptable. He is my son, and I can’t bear to see him suffer heavy punishment."

Su Yi Jing, who usually goes along with Gong Juese as an elder, couldn’t tolerate it this time and said coldly, "My daughter was bullied like this. Do you think we will be relieved by just lightly punishing him? Will my daughter be at ease?!"

Everyone else also looked displeased.

Even Meng Lanqing spoke angrily to her, "Gong Juese, stay out of this matter, or I’ll divorce you!"

"Brother!" Gong Juese, having no choice, stomped her foot and called her brother Gong Juechen for help.

Gong Juechen, however, remained calm, grinning cheekily, "Why are you in such a rush? Let’s first hear how they plan to deal with your son. If it turns out to be harsh, you’re my own sister; I will definitely protect this son of yours."

Only after hearing this from her brother did Gong Juese feel at ease.

But Su Yi Jing and the others were very dissatisfied with Gong Juechen’s words. It was clear he intended to shield Meng Sizhi.

And indeed, for his sister Gong Juese, Gong Juechen was willing to do anything.

"Gong Juechen." Su Changyi’s voice was icy, chilling everyone to the bone.

Gong Juechen didn’t seem to feel anything, still smiling cheekily, "My bottom line is, you don’t kill him or break his arms and legs or anything. Besides that, do as you see fit."

"Brother!" Gong Juese was displeased again.

Gong Juechen chuckled, "Why are you in a hurry again? Continue listening first, and it’s not too late to worry later."

Gong Juese then chose to say no more.

An Jing suppressed her anger first before asking Meng Sizhi, who was kneeling there, "Sizhi, speak up, why did you suddenly go to the Minister of Justice’s house to propose?"

Even if they needed to teach Meng Sizhi a lesson for hurting her precious granddaughter, they had to get to the bottom of the whole story.

Meng Sizhi said, "Zhenzhen has always been deeply in love with me."

An Jing was immediately enraged again, asking, "Then what about Yuxin?"

Meng Sizhi, however, said nothing. But in reality, he wanted to say that he never felt that Su Yuxin liked him. More accurately, he felt that Su Yuxin didn’t like him the way he liked her.
