Chapter 213 Conflict Escalates

When Gu Xiangsi saw that the Crown Prince was angry, her grandfather also got furious.

He quickly knelt on the ground, too scared to breathe.

Sure enough, the imperial power in ancient times was really scary!

If not handled properly, it could be fatal.

She doesn't want to ruin herself like this.

A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death, and the man sitting above is noble and extraordinary, holding great power, and cannot be easily provoked.

Gu Xiangsi restrained his edge and never dared to be presumptuous again.

At the same time, his greed for Huo Yuchen was also somewhat reduced.

Huo Yuchen is really not easy to mess with.

He won't eat anything hard or soft.

The beauty trap doesn't work, deliberate flattery doesn't work, and bold confession of love is something to be avoided like the plague.

How can anyone get close to him?

It seems that I can only look for other opportunities.

Gu Xiangsi quickly and softly begged for mercy, "Your Highness, I just made a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me! I will never dare to do it again..."

Only those who can bend and stretch and know the times can be regarded as heroes.

As a time traveler, how could she lose against a group of dull ancient people?

She would never admit it.

She really didn't believe that Huo Yuchen didn't know how to be gentle with women. What could he really do to her?

She is a gambler and she believes she will win.

Huo Yuchen clenched his fists, resisting the urge to kill, and said coldly, "Grandmaster, this girl doesn't know the rules of etiquette. Take her back and teach her a lesson!"

"Don't bring him out and embarrass him before he learns the rules."

"If you bring greater disaster to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, it will be too late to regret."

"Grand Master, be careful that your reputation will be ruined!"

These words completely trampled Gu Xiangsi into the dust.

Criticism is simply not worth a penny.

It also made Grand Tutor Gu lose all his face.

The good reputation he had accumulated over many years as the prince's teacher collapsed in an instant at this moment.

There was no need for Grand Tutor Gu to test him any further, as he already knew very clearly that Huo Yuchen extremely disliked Gu Xiangsi.

It’s our first meeting, why is it so necessary?

That must mean that what Gu Xiangsi did has been exposed.

Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would hate her so deeply.

It seems that the affairs of the Grand Tutor's Mansion must be related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Grand Tutor Gu was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he fled in disgrace with Gu Xiangsi.

When Grand Tutor Gu returned to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, he was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet in his room.

Before he could catch his breath, the butler came to report.

"Master Taishi, the Second Master's leg is about to be lost..."

"The imperial physician said... that the Second Master's leg was hit so hard that even if a great immortal came, it would be of no use..."

"The Second Master hasn't woken up yet, and the First Master is not at home. The Imperial Physician wants you to go over there quickly and make a decision."

Grand Tutor Gu looked helpless and depressed, and ran to Gu Linhai's yard without stopping.

He stayed in his yard and watched the imperial doctors treat his leg disease.

Soon, Gu Qingcheng and Gu Xiangsi also rushed over after hearing the news.

When the two sisters met, there was no close intimacy between them where they could confide in each other.

Instead, the air was filled with the faint gleam of invisible swords and sabers.

Both women were outstanding in appearance and were almost equally matched.

Moreover, both of them are ambitious and want to be the number one in the harem.

But there can only be one person in that position, which means there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

Originally, Gu Qingcheng had a dominant position in the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and no one could compete with her. But now, she has a cousin who is equally powerful as her.

How could she tolerate it?

Even Gu Xiangsi has recently caused a sensation in the capital and her reputation has spread far and wide.

Almost overshadowed her.

She could not tolerate it even more.

Almost at the first sight of Gu Xiangsi, she showed great disgust and hostility towards her.

Not concealed at all.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Gu Xiangsi, whose hair was covered with pearls and jade and who was wearing a dazzling outfit. She could only be described as elegant and noble, and beyond words.

I couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Second Uncle has suffered such a serious leg injury and is still unconscious, and your sister still has the time to dress so extravagantly and flamboyantly. Is she trying to seduce someone?"

"you......"

Gu Xiangsi was speechless for a moment. This outfit was indeed specially dressed up just to meet Huo Yuchen.

After I came back, I didn't replace it in time.

But considering that her father had just been seriously injured, it was indeed a bit inappropriate for her to want to attract men and dress so brightly and ostentatiously.

I couldn't help but feel guilty.

But Gu Qingcheng still refused to give in. "Sister, you just returned to the capital and you're already coveting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? You're really impatient!"

"I really haven't lived in the capital since I was a child, so I have limited knowledge!"

"I grew up with Huo Yuchen and know his personality and temperament very well. Even if you are very beautiful, don't even think about catching his eye."

"Even my sister wasn't in his eyes back then, so I'd better stop dreaming!"

"Now, in his eyes, there is only Lin Pianran. You are so bold that you dare to touch his sweetheart. You really don't want to die!"

"If my sister wants to commit suicide, please don't involve all of us."

"Now that you've caused your father such a terrible loss and caused our eldest family's fortune to suffer heavy losses, you can't possibly not express your gratitude, right?"

Gu Xiangsi refused to admit it and tried to argue with her neck stiff.

"What does your eldest wife's affairs have to do with me?"

"Hasn't our second branch also suffered heavy losses? Who can we blame?"

Gu Qingcheng was not a pushover either, and she refuted him mercilessly.

"Of course you blame yourself! You're really overestimating your own abilities!"

"You dare to provoke Huo Yuchen, the evil spirit, without knowing anything about him or her, and without even realizing your own worth. You're really brave!"

"If you want to die, just go and die. No one will stop you."

"But please die far away and don't bring trouble to our eldest family."

Gu Xiangsi was indeed in the wrong, and she also knew that what Gu Qingcheng said was true.

I didn't know how to answer for a moment and was speechless.

Gu Xiangsi's mother, Song Lianghua, was not the type of person to suffer any loss, so she would not tolerate being insulted.

She immediately walked forward and pulled Gu Xiangsi to her side, protecting her.

She retorted softly, "We're all family, why do we have to be so clear-cut?"

"There's no need to be too clear about the distinction between the first and second wives. Prosperity and adversity are shared by all. Qingcheng, don't you understand this principle?"

"When a problem arises, we should all find ways to solve it together and face it together. Why bother to be so petty?"

"Shifting the blame won't solve the problem any better!"

This is very beautifully said.

He seems to be very sensible.

In fact, not only did the second wife take advantage of the situation, but she also shared all the responsibilities with the first wife.

Connected the big house with them.
