Gu Zhaoye looked at Gu Shuzhi in shock, as if feeling betrayed.
Old Madam Gu, Gu Zhao'an, and the others also looked at Gu Shuzhi with surprise.
Before the main branch returned to the capital, Gu Shuxue had always viewed her cousin, Gu Shuzhi, as a formidable rival. Now, she quickly grasped his intentions and couldn't help but disdain him internally.
Just because the first branch had grown close to the Xiao family, even Gu Shuzhi had to curry favor with them?
He was following his son's instructions!
When Old Master Gu heard Gu Shuzhi's words, his expression softened slightly. "Zhaoye, aren't you going to tell the truth?"
Gu Shuzhi, fearing further misunderstandings, urged, "Dad, now that things have come to this, just tell the truth."
Gu Zhaoye, who was not very astute and always followed his son's lead, said, "Dad, when grandpa passed away, it was Second Brother who convinced me to take the medicine from Big Brother."
