Chapter 2218: Sure enough, there is something wrong with his brain

Guan Chengfang kicked his son to his knees on the ground and sternly shouted, “Apologize to me at once!”

Seeing that his father was genuinely angry, Guan Qirui, despite his confusion, could only lower his head and apologize.

“Uncle Gong, Young Master Yu Ming, I was wrong, please forgive me.”

“Forget it.”

Gong Junxiong waved his hand, and since the two families had many years of friendship, he did not say anything more.

Guan Chengfang grabbed his collar and brought him before Yuan Dahua, the Minister of War, “Rebellious son, quickly kneel and apologize to Minister Yuan!”

“Father, why? I haven’t provoked Minister Yuan!”

Guan Qirui felt like he was going crazy, why was he apologizing to everyone? What exactly had he done?

Guan Chengfang was extremely angry: “You scoundrel, you broke Young Master Yuan’s leg, and you still say you didn’t make a mistake? Hurry up and kneel!”

“What? Whose leg did I break? I was sleeping in my room, when did I ever break Young Master Yuan’s leg?

Father, you must be mistaken, this is impossible!”

Guan Qirui tried to argue, but was once again kicked to the ground by Guan Chengfang.

With both human and material evidence present, Guan Youcai testifying here, and the others coming to their doorstep, he still wanted to deny it.

Guan Qirui was full of grievances, but there was nothing he could do; his father simply wouldn't listen to his explanations, so he could only lower his head and apologize again.

“Minister Yuan, I’m sorry!”

“Sigh!”

Yuan Dahua sighed; Guan Chengfang had just said his son had a problem with his brain, and he had been a little skeptical, but now it seemed confirmed.

Guan Qirui breaking his son’s leg was a fact, but the other party still wanted to deny it.

Moreover, from his experience, he could tell that Guan Qirui wasn't just quibbling, but was speaking completely from the heart, even claiming he was sleeping at home, which was a sign of mental derangement.

Since the Guan family had shown sincerity, and this was a mentally ill person with a problematic mind, as the Minister of War, he found it difficult to dwell on it too much.

“Alright, let’s just drop this matter.”

Guan Qirui shook his head, stood up from the ground, and then looked towards Laiyang King.

Three people had come, and he had already apologized to two; did he need to apologize to the remaining one?

But before Guan Chengfang could speak, Dugu Hong stepped forward, “Alright, alright, we’re all family from now on, no need for apologies, just take him back directly.”

After speaking, she waved her hand, and several guards immediately came forward, ready to take the person.

“Wait a moment, wait a moment, Your Highness, what is happening?”

Guan Qirui naturally recognized Dugu Hong, but he didn't know what this unusually ugly Princess wanted to do?

He turned back to Guan Chengfang: “Father, please explain clearly, what exactly is going on?”

Guan Chengfang sighed; although he was unwilling, there was no room for reprieve now.

He came before Dugu Zhan and humbly said, “Your Highness, don’t you think today is a bit too rushed? How about we set a propitious day sometime later to handle this matter?”

“No need, I’ll take him away today, and we’ll talk about future matters later.”

Dugu Hong looked impatient.

“Alright then, this old man will follow the Princess’s arrangements.”

Guan Chengfang turned back to Guan Qirui and said, “Just now, you have become a live-in son-in-law of Laiyang Royal Mansion, the husband of Laiyang Princess.

From now on, behave well in the Royal Mansion and do not disappoint His Highness.”

“Ah? Father, you can’t make such a joke, this is absolutely not allowed!”

Guan Qirui was extremely lustful, otherwise he wouldn’t spend his days bullying men and women and frequenting various brothels.

For such a person to become a live-in son-in-law of Laiyang Royal Mansion and marry Laiyang Princess would be even more painful than killing him.

“You scoundrel, how dare you speak like that? This is a major matter settled by your father and His Highness, there’s no room for discussion, and you have no say!”

“That’s right, you can’t object, take him back.”

Thinking that she could enter the bridal chamber tonight, Dugu Hong raised her hand to wipe away the drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.

She waved her hand, and several guards immediately stepped forward to control Guan Qirui, pulling him up and leaving.

“Father, help! Father, you can’t do this!”

Guan Qirui kept calling for help, but a small arm couldn’t twist a big thigh, so how could he resist the Royal Mansion’s guards?

Finally, feeling too noisy, the guard leader directly sealed his mute acupoint, making him unable to utter a sound.

This Young Master of the Guan family instantly burst into tears; he had just slept, and when he woke up, the whole world had gone awry.

First, he knelt and apologized, then he became a live-in son-in-law to such an ugly woman.

What was wrong with this world? Was he still dreaming?

He bit his tongue hard, and the intense pain told him this was not a dream; everything was real.

Regardless of his reaction, the guards ignored him, quickly threw him onto a horse, and then rushed towards Laiyang Royal Mansion.

At the Guan family residence, Guan Chengfang returned to his room; with such a major incident, he had no mood to sleep, pacing restlessly back and forth in the room.

Previously, due to the suddenness of the event, he hadn't had time to think carefully, but now, upon careful reflection, he felt that there were too many irregularities in this matter.

He then called Guan Youcai in: “Tell me everything the Young Master did today from beginning to end, in detail, without missing a single detail.”

Guan Youcai didn’t know what the Master wanted to do, but since he had given the command, he dared not question it and began to speak.

“Tonight, the Young Master was in a bad mood and wanted to go, but suddenly he complained of a stomachache and went to the latrine.

When he came back, he wanted to go to Jubao Pavilion to participate in the auction, and when I asked him about it, he even slapped me…”

Guan Youcai began to recount seriously, not daring to omit any detail, even repeating exactly what Ye Bufan had said earlier.

The more Guan Chengfang listened, the deeper his frown became; as the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father, and he knew his son’s temper all too well—always bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Even if he had a fit, exchanging a few words with Gong Yuming would be normal, but he would never dare to provoke the Minister of War’s son or Laiyang Princess.

Moreover, according to Guan Youcai, those words were clearly not something Guan Qirui could have said; they obviously came from someone else’s mouth.

After the entire sequence of events was narrated, he asked with a gloomy expression, “You said the Young Master bid on that flame stone and paid two hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones?”

“Yes, that’s right, I saw it with my own eyes…”

Guan Youcai’s expression suddenly changed at this point, “Wait, the Young Master only had a dozen High-Grade Spirit Stones left in his pocket, where did he get so much money?”

At that time, he was astonished by how much hatred Guan Qirui had incurred, and he was so frightened that he overlooked this detail; only now did he recall that something was amiss.

Guan Chengfang’s expression grew even gloomier: “And those guards brought by Laiyang Princess, those personal guards of Yuan Qihang, were easily dealt with by a few of you?”

“Yes, I also felt something was wrong at the time; logically, they should be very powerful, so how could they not be a match for a few of us? And there was no resistance at all.”

Guan Chengfang exploded in anger, slapping him across the face, “You scoundrel, can’t you see it yet? That person was not the Young Master at all!”
