Chapter 37 Haven't you had enough?

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Gu Shuyan said this and walked out.

Seeing Gu Shuyan's changing expression, Pearl tentatively asked, "Miss, are we going to stop them?"

Of course, it must be stopped.

All the speculations from last night have not yet been confirmed, and the grudges from the past life have not yet been settled, so naturally we cannot let them leave just like that.

Besides, in the message Mingyu sent back yesterday, she mentioned that Gu Yingxue owns shops and that she should use the Hou Mansion's money to live a carefree life. She's not that generous.

Gu Shuyan rushed out the door with two maids.

At the entrance of Xueyuan, Gu Yingjie was sitting with his legs crossed, leaning back in a chair, directing the servants to move things out.

Gu Yingxue sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, crying her heart out.

"Yingjie, what are you doing?"

Upon receiving the news, Madam Ji rushed over and, seeing her adopted daughter crying with tears streaming down her face, immediately scolded Gu Yingjie.

Seeing Ji Shi approach, Gu Yingjie calmly stood up from his chair. "Mother, don't be angry. Your son will help you get rid of this imposter."

As he spoke, Gu Yingjie didn't forget to urge the servants to hurry up.

Looking at the things that had already filled the courtyard, Ji shouted angrily, "Stop! All of you, stop!"

Seeing the mistress's anger, the servants dared not move and could only turn their questioning gazes to Gu Yingjie.

"Mom, stop! Do you still want these things? They've been used by counterfeiters for years, they're all worn out."

Gu Yingjie didn't understand his mother's meaning at all, and continued to greet everyone.

Gu Yingxue's sobs continued to ring in her ears, but her son, who was oblivious to the situation, turned to Gu Yingjie and asked loudly, "Gu Yingjie, have you had enough?"

"Making a scene? Mother, what am I making a scene about?"

Gu Yingjie looked at his mother and said, "This person has been the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion for fifteen years, stealing my sister's favor for fifteen years. Now that my sister is back, shouldn't she go back to her own home?"

Gu Yingjie's soul-searching question made Ji Shi pause. Under normal circumstances, if the wrong child was reported, the child should be returned to the other family along with the child being returned to their own.

But Madam Ji just couldn't bear to part with Gu Yingxue. Putting aside her more than ten years of mother-daughter relationship with Gu Yingxue, she didn't want her adopted daughter to suffer back home just because of the Li family's conditions.

"Yingjie, Yingxue is also your sister. Can you bear to see her go back to the Li family and suffer?"

Lady Ji softened her tone and earnestly advised her son to consider the bond between siblings and stop making things difficult for Gu Yingxue.

But Gu Yingjie didn't feel he had done anything wrong when he heard these words; on the contrary, he felt that what he had done today was absolutely right. Thinking of his younger sister's grievances over the years, this imposter became even more irritating.

“My sister has suffered for the Li family since she was little. Now that she’s all grown up, why can’t she go back to the Li family? No matter what, she must leave me today.”

Gu Yingjie persisted.

Upon hearing this, Lady Ji swayed as if about to collapse. Looking at her unmoved son, she patted her chest in heartache, unable to utter a single word.

Just then, a sweet, delicate voice came from over.

"Second brother, just listen to Mother and don't let Yingxue move out. I know the Li family's situation better than anyone. Someone like Yingxue will definitely starve to death if she goes back."

As Gu Shuyan spoke, she walked over to Ji Shi and took her hand.
