Gu Qin’er grabbed Gu Si’er, who was cursing loudly, and said, “Even Father and the Grand Madam can’t do anything. If you keep making a fuss, you’ll only suffer.’
Gu Si’er shivered in an instant.
She had forgotten.
Now that Gu Qingluan was acting all high and mighty, there was nothing she could do to stop her.
Gu Qin’er tried to approach Gu Qingluan but was blocked by someone.
She could only speak from a distance, “Eldest Sister, no matter what, you are still our sister. Please come back to the Gu Residence often. Qin’er will always think of you.”
Gu Qingluan’s tone was cold as she replied, “Leave now, no need for a farewell.”
Regardless of Gu Qin’er’s intentions, it was best not to provoke her. If provoked, Gu Qingluan wouldn’t hesitate to be ruthless.
Gu Si’er was enraged by Gu Qingluan’s words and wanted to argue back.
Gu Qin’er immediately covered her mouth and dragged her away.
Gu Qingluan continued to hold Feng Yuanxi’s hand and headed towards the kitchen.
Meanwhile, the entrance of the Jun Residence was bustling with activity.
Bags and packages were thrown outside the main gate.
The entire Gu family looked disheveled and defeated.
More and more onlookers gathered, pointing and gossiping about them.
Gu Zhicheng felt utterly humiliated and resented Gu Qingluan deeply.
If only he had known how heartless she would become, he would have dealt with her years ago!
Seated inside the carriage, Gu Zhicheng shouted angrily, “Let’s leave now!” He couldn’t bear to stay there for another minute.
The coachman quickly grabbed the reins and urged the carriage to move.
The Gu family members were all expelled from the residence. While the master had a carriage to ride in, the servants had no choice but to continue on foot.
The servants, who usually flaunted their power, lowered their heads and hurriedly followed the carriage away.
The Gu family’s second branch was not far away.
The news here spread to the second branch.
The Second Master of the Gu family furrowed his brow and expressed his dissatisfaction, “Big Brother is being too weak. He was actually driven out of our home by a little girl. The Gu family’s reputation has been completely tarnished by the actions of the First Branch family!’
Ever since their acquaintance with Mr. Liu, the Second Branch family gained newfound confidence and stopped groveling before the First Branch family.
Instead, they held them in disdain.
“Send someone to investigate.”
‘Yes, sir.’
“And what about Mr. Liu?”
“The Crown Prince and his entourage have just left Mr. Liu’s residence. Mr. Liu mentioned feeling tired and wanting to rest, so everyone in his residence refrained from disturbing him.”
“Take great care of him. We must ensure that Mr. Liu remains content and untroubled.’
“Understood, sir.”
The Second Master of the Gu family inquired further, “Did the Crown Prince and Mr. Liu engage in such a lengthy discussion?’
The butler didn’t know how to respond, and the Second Master of the Gu family didn’t expect to receive an answer from him either.
Outside the residence,
Feng Tianlan and Qi Tianyou noticed a crowd of people rushing in a particular direction.
Curious, Qi Tianyou asked a nearby guard, “What is happening over there?” The guard provided a brief account of the situation.
Qi Tianyou clicked his tongue disapprovingly and commented, ‘Miss Gu certainly isn ‘t holding back. ”
Recalling the events of that night, Feng Tianlan’s voice dripped with sarcasm as he uttered, “What an audacious woman!”
Qi Tianyou looked at him in astonishment, surprised by his sudden use of derogatory language.
Feng Tianlan remained stoic, his gaze focused, as he caught sight of a small figure pushing through the crowd.
His eyes narrowed, and he swiftly strode towards the Jun Residence. Puzzled, Qi Tianyou questioned, “Hey, Mr. Lan, what are you doing?”
In a matter of seconds, Feng Tianlan had already distanced himself several yards away.
Qi Tianyou hurriedly followed suit, trying to keep up with him.
Meanwhile, amidst the crowd, Gu Xiaonan held a small fox in his arms, while a green parrot perched on his shoulder. Upon hearing from the passersby that this was his mother’s home, he eagerly made his way through the throng of people.
Suddenly, he felt a firm tug on the back of his collar, lifting him off the ground.
Startled, the parrot named Xiao Mei flapped its wings and screeched, “You ugly monster! Let go!”
The parrot fiercely pecked at the man’s hand, which held onto Gu Xiaonan.
Angrily, Feng Tianlan’s icy gaze zeroed in on the green parrot..
