The woman was still holding Fang Miao's legs.
Gu Huainian glanced at the woman.
"Let her go."
The woman was frightened by the cold look and quickly let go of her legs.
Gu Huainian looked at Fang Miao and said, "Let's go."
Fang Miao followed Gu Huainian and finally walked out from the group of women.
The women in the market looked at their backs with their jaws dropping in shock.
"Who was that just now? How can you help Fang Miao?"
"Look at his clothes and his demeanor. He's quite something. Is he some noble young man?"
"It seems to be... Dali Temple Minister. I went to see him when he was trying a case some time ago."
"The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court? That grim-faced devil?" The person who spoke gasped in fear.
The Dali Temple Minister is a third-rank official, a high-ranking official. The father of this Lord Gu is also the Great General of the Nation, an existence more noble than many royal relatives. For ordinary people like them, it is even more unattainable.
"No wonder I almost peed myself just now."
"He's helping Fang Miao, so he might be attracted to Fang Miao, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? These two are worlds apart. Even the butchers on the street wouldn't like her, so how could the Dali Temple Minister like her?"
"Yes, she's not even fit to shine the shoes of the Dali Temple Minister."
"She will never get married in this life. She can only become a nun."
"Who knows? Maybe that old widower with several children who can't find a wife will be attracted to her."
"Sister-in-law Li, I have a great niece who's a good match for your son."
…
Fang Miao naturally didn't hear the contemptuous comments behind her.
She lowered her head and followed behind Gu Huainian, secretly raising her head to look at Lord Gu's broad back.
"Sir, thank you just now for helping me out." Fang Miao thanked him.
"Yeah." Gu Huainian responded without turning around.
"Sir, how much of what they just said did you hear?" Fang Miao asked through gritted teeth.
I don't know how much Lord Gu heard...
Gu Huainian didn't say anything.
He felt angry when he thought of those women saying derogatory words and Fang Miao being criticized so pitifully.
What bad luck, what can't get married, she...
She is obviously fine.
Those people were civilians and had not violated the laws of the Great Zhou, so he restrained himself from taking action.
"Sir, they are talking nonsense. I didn't do those things." Fang Miao explained.
"Yeah." Gu Huainian said.
He believes it.
"Sir, why are you here?" Fang Miao asked in a low voice.
Gu Huainian's body stiffened for a moment and he didn't say anything.
The servant Ah Qi's eyes were rolling around.
Why are you here?
Isn't it because you are thinking about her that you take a stroll around here when you have some free time?
He has followed Gu Huainian for more than ten years. He originally thought that his master was an iron tree that would never bloom, but he never expected that the iron tree would bloom one day and would care so much about a girl.
"I have something to do and I'm just passing by." Gu Huainian said.
"Oh." Fang Miao nodded.
Ah Qi: “…”
The iron tree blooms, and there is absolutely no experience in pursuing the person you love.
If it weren't for the difference between master and servant, Ah Qi would have wanted to have a good talk with him.
Sir, if you can't speak, please don't speak!
You will never get a wife if you care too much about your reputation and try to be stubborn!
Being shameless is the right way!
"Sir, are you going back to the Dali Temple?" Fang Miao asked again.
"Well, if you're free, go to the Dali Temple to work." Gu Huainian said.
"yes."
Fang Miao followed him back to the Dali Temple to work.
When I was busy, I forgot what happened on the street and all the unhappy things.
Fang Miao was busy until the afternoon, and when she finished her work, she went home.
As a result, when I got home, I found that something big had happened at home.
Her mother had a bruised face and nose!
Fang Miao hurried in, ran to her mother, and asked nervously, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Fang's mother shook her head: "It's okay, I just fell."
Fang Miao looked at the scars on her mother's face. There were many scratches, obviously caused by fingernails. How could they be caused by a fall?
"Mom, who did you fight with?" Fang Miao asked.
"without……"
"I'll know once I ask." Fang Miao said.
"It's still that Li Chen, she has a very dirty mouth." Fang's mother said.
Li Chen was Li Cong's mother.
Fang's mother heard what happened on the street during the day. Mrs. Li Chen actually insulted her daughter in the street. She was so angry that she went to ask for an explanation.
As a result, Mrs. Li Chen pointed at her forehead and cursed her.
Then, the two men started fighting.
Li Chen and her husband beat her together, and Fang's mother suffered a great loss.
After this incident, the two families completely broke up.
In fact, Fang's mother still feels a little regretful.
The young man Li Cong is indeed a good person. Although Mrs. Li Chen is difficult to deal with, a family like this is much better than those butchers, widowers, and disabled people.
When Fang Miao heard this, she knew it was for her.
Her nose felt a little sour: "Mom, does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, just a minor injury." Fang's mother said.
"Let's go see a doctor..." Fang Miao pulled her mother and was about to go out.
Fang's mother stopped him and said, "It's just a small injury, why see a doctor? I won't go!"
"Mom..." Fang Miao's eyes turned red and she hugged her mother.
"You're so old now, don't cry anymore," said Fang's mother.
Fang Miao sniffed: "Hmm."
However, tears still fell uncontrollably.
Fang's mother sighed softly and hugged her.
Why is the life of the mother and daughter so miserable?
In fact, there must be a man in the family, otherwise you won’t be able to beat anyone in a fight.
Just now, when she was fighting with Li Chen, this was what she was thinking.
Therefore, she still hopes that her daughter can marry a good man who can protect her.
Why is it so difficult?
The mother and daughter hugged each other for a while.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Fang Miao wiped her tears and crawled out of her mother's arms.
"Mom, I'll go open the door."
Fang Miao ran to open the door, but when she saw someone outside, she wanted to close the door.
The people outside the door were really Li Chen and Li Cong.
"Miss Fang, my mother and I are here to apologize. We're sorry." Li Cong said.
Li Chen's face was full of reluctance.
But her son threatened to commit suicide and insisted on marrying Fang Miao, so she had to come and apologize.
Fang's mother also walked to the door.
"Yes...I'm sorry." Li Chen said awkwardly.
Li Cong was sincere in his apology and his words were earnest.
"Aunt Fang, Miss Fang, I'm sorry. What my mother did was too extreme. I didn't expect her to... It's all my fault. I didn't handle it well. My mother also knows she was wrong. From now on, such a thing will never happen again." Li Cong looked at Li Chenshi, "Mom, don't you agree?"
"Yes, it won't happen." Li Chen said.
Fang's mother looked at Li Cong.
This young man really impressed her.
From what I saw before, he was always shy and blushed easily, but now he seems to be quite courageous and can even calm down his mother, Li Chen, who has such a bad temper.
