"Is the Marquis going to send you away? I haven't heard anything about that." Qin Yuan frowned and said softly, "Cheng-ge'er, tell me, why would the Marquis want to send you out of the manor?"

That's true; Lord Gu really didn't tell her how to settle the two children.

Everyone looked at Brother Cheng.

Cheng Ge'er lowered his head, his face flushed, and his chest heaving violently.

It seemed impossible to say it.

Yu Jie'er's sobs grew louder and louder.

Madam Gu couldn't help but frown.

Qin Yuan then lifted Yu Jie'er onto her lap, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and coaxed her softly, "Yu Jie'er, tell us what happened."

Sister Yu choked up and couldn't speak.

Cheng Ge'er stood up abruptly, his tone stiff: "I'll tell you."

Lord Gu stiffened his neck.

Yu Jie'er shut her mouth, feeling wronged.

The implication behind his words is quite intriguing.

Rong Momo gave a timely reminder.

Hongye rolled her eyes.

In Madam Gu's courtyard lived two concubines she had taken in years ago. Concubine Huang had no sons, while the other was originally Madam Gu's maid, but now had a child and was also favored.

As she spoke, she pulled Yu Jie down and said, "Sister, kneel down with me and beg our godmother. If our godmother agrees, we can stay in the manor."

Lord Gu and Brother Cheng crawled on their knees and hugged Lan Qianfu's legs. Their crying stopped, but Qiuju and Zihe pulled us up first, making the scene quite unsightly.

It's like an accusation; without her ex-mother, she also lost her ex-father.

Yu Jie'er spoke up: "Your eighth brother is wrong. Do the people outside the manor know what their mother did? That child surnamed Qi even fought back when he tried to stop them, and he was beaten like this. They still say that he's arrogant and condescending, and he was even willing to apologize. It was eighth brother and eighth sister-in-law who personally went to apologize. Of course, they all know what others say about your Marquis's manor behind your back. If you ask me, have they ever really seen anyone who's arrogant and condescending?"

My voice was hot and scorching, as if I were suppressing a fire.

When serving tea, has the Marquis seen you before? You've been in the manor for so long, but you've only heard about us.

Before Lan Qian could offer any words of comfort, Yu Jie'er said, "Eighth Brother, shouldn't Qin Yuan have said that? He's busy with military affairs, how many times has he seen us? Those two children were raised by Qin Yuan himself, and he's the one who wronged Pang Hai, it's Qin Yuan."

Rong Momo came to help us up, saying, "The old lady originally thought that since they were leaving soon, it would be bad for them to get too close to the young master. How did things turn out like that? No wonder the Eighth Prince is upset. You naughty child, stop acting like that. What will Zhao Shi think when she sees this?"

Moreover, Lord Gu had always been aware of this.

He paused, then added sarcastically, "His mother was treated like dirt outside the mansion, and then she mysteriously left. Not only that, she committed such heinous acts, causing your wife and children to fall ill. It's only thanks to your sister-in-law's support that no one outside the mansion has died. You're holding a grudge against them, which shows your poor upbringing and narrow-mindedness, but it's only because their father didn't save your eighth brother's life. But considering what his mother did, his father has already repaid his debt to your eighth brother."

The expressions on everyone's faces were rather grim.

Just then, they heard Sixth Master Gu's voice: "What are they doing?"

The two children raised their heads, but still stubbornly remained kneeling.

The Marquis looked up at Sixth Master Gu, and sure enough, his face was contorted with anger, and his narrow, sharp eyes flashed with cold light.

I only glanced at it today.

The Marquis placed his hand heavily on Lan Qianfu's knees, turned his head and smiled, "What Eighth Brother said is very true. Now that things are like this, there is no point in saying anything more. It would be better to arrange things for us properly and find someone to enlighten us."

After today's commotion, there was hardly any genuine feeling or real conflict involved; who can say for sure?

Lan Qian thought to herself, "No wonder Master Gu's face looks so bad, and his attitude towards the twins has become so indifferent."

Before comforting Old Madam Gu, Sixth Master Gu slumped down next to Lan Qian and said, "It's all because you spoiled us. Our mother also taught us bad things. How will you face Pang Hai when you're on earth?"

Sixth Master Gu's face twitched, and he said hotly, "That's your decision. It's related to their godmother. We've told them everything we need to say. Sending them out of the manor was for their own good. Their living expenses, marriage prospects, everything will be taken care of by their godfather. Get up slowly, don't let others laugh at you."

Without a hint of grievance, Yu Jie complained, "Eighth Brother, Mother read your poetry collection and said you should stop going astray and do something proper, and have a family banquet to have some fun. Look at the trouble we've caused, she's just deliberately making things difficult for you."

"How can it be that you love them?" Old Madam Gu sighed. "Even after sending them away, their godfather is still their godfather, and their grandmother is still their grandmother. It's just that they can see each other more often. Deep down, I still love them. The bad kids are slowly starting to become naughty, which will make their godmother feel awkward. Today is their eighth uncle's bad day. Does that mean their little family is all gloomy and naughty?"

“My godfather said that because of my mother, it was not good for us to live in the mansion. He asked if we had any relatives to rely on. If not, he would find a family to take care of us.”

"Madam, Eighth Master's concubines and children are still standing inside. Are they going to leave? Shouldn't we begin the banquet?"

In most cases, Granny Yang is the nanny who serves Qin Yuan.

With a thud, Cheng Ge'er knelt down and said, "Godmother, Yu Jie'er and I are still young and ignorant. We said some unpleasant things before. We hope that Godmother can forgive us. Please plead for us in front of Godfather and let us stay. We will definitely behave ourselves in the future and never dare to do it again."

Lan Qianfu continued, "They were making a scene outside the hall, and Eighth Brother's concubine and children were all standing inside watching. What kind of behavior is that?"
