Seeing Madam Gu’s furious expression, Mrs. Gu chuckled inwardly and nodded at Gu Ruxue, who had her head lowered and showed a smile on her face.
Madame Gu was going to punish that hideous girl now!
How stupid that girl must have been to touch the Gu Family’s stores, just because she had some knowledge of medicine and befriended Lord Huai!
The same old images started to emerge inside Gu Ruxue’s head – Gu Chaoyan was punished and cried loudly, yet no one was begging for mercy for her sake. She expected that this time, she could be beaten to death directly, so she would never need to see this trouble any more. Gu Ruxue was the real owner of those stores. She was totally qualified to get those dowries!
As she was thinking about these, Gu Ruxue had her fist clenched.
A quarter of an hour later Chaoyan was brought by Chen Fu, followed by Sword One who had just returned from outside.
They had just arrived at the front yard, when Gu Chaoyan saw the yard full of people as well as Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruxue who had weird smiles on their faces. Madame Gu no longer looked affable but extremely angry.
“It is she who drove us out and hit the salesboys!” Gu Hua pointed at Sword One and said excitedly. He hoped so much to hit that woman back. A man like him had never been insulted like this before. “Madame Gu, you have to help us!”
Faced Gu Hua’s excited accuasion, Mrs. Gu stepped forward. She was trying to assure those people and leave the rest to Madame Gu. “Don’t worry, we are definitely going to help you today.”
Having said these words Mrs. Gu returned to the side of Madame Gu, chin up and said with a commanding and disdainful tone. “Chaoyan, you know what mistake you have conducted?”
“What mistake?” Gu Chaoyan stood calmly and countered Mrs. Gu who was causing her trouble.
She knew something about this woman after spending some days with her.
She was not a very smart person. It was just that the old Gu Chaoyan was too stupid to be out of her control.
Seeing Gu Chaoyan’s sharp look, Mrs. Gu felt slightly frightened, but it was a momentary thing before she regained her state. She told herself not to be afraid of this ugly woman and continued to interrogate her. “What mistake?! You threw out those managers and hit them!”
“...”
“Do you know how much work they have done for the Gu Mansion? How dare you treat them like this!”
“...”
“You are totally ruthless!”
“...”
“I will punish you today, even if Madame Gu begs for mercy for you. Otherwise you will get even wilder in the future! We don’t care if you are ruined, but we need to keep the Gu Mansion well! I will never forgive you for that!”
Gu Chaoyan looked at Mrs. Gu coldly. She smiled ironically and asked. “Auntie Gu, you are trying to help these people with justice?”
“Yes!” Mrs. Gu replied firmly.
Those managers who had been thrown out also looked at Gu Chaoyan with an ironic look, hoping to see how badly she was going to be hit.
“If that is the case, go to Lord Huai’s Mansion please. It was Lord Huai’s guards who drove them out.”
