When the city lord saw Gu Qingxi coming in, a smile appeared on his serious face: "I have punished your brother today. Your brother was spoiled by his mother. Don't take it to heart."
The brother mentioned by the city lord is naturally the city lord's youngest son and the only son of the current city lord's wife.
As for why the city lord said these words, it was like this.
Gu Qingxi had just returned to the city lord's mansion, and the fat young master reacted the most. After the city lord turned and left, he ran to Gu Qingxi's residence and smashed it, yelling at Gu Qingxi to get out, this is not Gu Qingxi's home.
The city lord's wife ran to take the young master away without saying a word of apology. Obviously she thought her youngest son was right.
Gu Qingxi was very tired of the twists and turns of the house fight, and she disdained to deal with this bear child and bear parent. For her, all the conspiracies and calculations are nothing in front of absolute strength!
So, she went directly to the bear child's residence and flattened the bear child's yard. The young master was frightened and sat in front of the collapsed house with a dusty face, crying with tears and snot running down his face. He kept calling for his mother, and then was beaten up by Gu Qingxi.
The city lord's wife heard about it and ran over to attack Gu Qingxi. With the cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining, is the city lord's wife qualified to challenge Gu Qingxi? Gu Qingxi beat her up without saying a word. Her whole face was beaten like a pig's head. That night, the city lord's wife hid in the house and refused to see anyone.
Tower Spirit: ...What else can he say? Should he say that he is worthy of being the destined person? Fierce enough, powerful enough? !
Gu Qingxi didn't care about these. Tower Spirit didn't say anything to stop her behavior, which meant that it had no impact on the mission. It doesn't matter, just do it!
And what about the ancestor of Wanling? When Gu Qingxi was beating the naughty kid, he was hypocritically persuading her: "Oh, girl, you're hitting him too hard. After all, he's your brother now. Hit his butt, there's a lot of meat there, hit him harder, and kick him again, right!"
When he was beating the city lord's wife, the ancestor Wan Ling shouted even harder: "Don't you know not to hit someone in the face? She actually came up and wanted to slap you. Hit her back, harder, right, hit her in the face. Once on the left, once on the right, twice on the left, twice on the right..."
Gu Qingxi: ...At this time, Gu Qingxi believed that the ancestor Wan Ling was indeed a demon cultivator.
After seeing Gu Qingxi's cruelty, Gu Qingxi's brother and sister were as quiet as a chicken.
The busy city lord only learned the news the next day, and then hurriedly summoned Gu Qingxi back.
Some people in the mansion thought that the city lord was going to raise an army to question him, but it turned out to be completely wrong.
The Lord of the City comforted Gu Qingxi and had someone replace the furnishings in Gu Qingxi's room with new ones, which were better and more expensive.
The Lord of the City cared about Gu Qingxi for a while in the study room before letting her go.
After returning to Gu Qingxi's own yard, Gu Qingxi asked everyone to leave and went into the house. After a while, Ye Wuchen climbed in from the window.
"Is there anything unusual?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"On the surface, he is a good father who wants to compensate his daughter. His daughter has been away from him for many years and he has not cared about her. Suddenly he takes her back and treats her well, which is very unusual in itself." Gu Qingxi answered.
"Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion respects the City Lord very much." Ye Wuchen said in a deep voice.
"More than that. The people of the entire city respect and love the City Lord very much. When mentioning the City Lord, they all praise him, saying that the City Lord is kind and generous and wholeheartedly serves the people. He also gives gifts to the citizens during festivals. Although it is just some rice and meat, for mortals, this is the most affordable thing." Gu Qingxi added in detail.
"Do you suspect that this city is not a good person?" Ye Wuchen heard what Gu Qingxi said and immediately understood the hidden meaning of her words.
"If he is really so kind, why did he ignore his little daughter for so many years and leave her to fend for herself in the manor. He suddenly took her back two days ago, treated her kindly, and gave her the best clothes and treatment. This caused the current city lord's wife and her son to come and make trouble out of jealousy. I beat them like a dog, but the city lord didn't blame me, and came to comfort me and reward me." Gu Qingxi raised his eyebrows, "Don't you think this is like the last sumptuous dinner?" "
He wants to use you to do something. The price is your life." Ye Wuchen's eyes turned cold, "I'll go to the city lord's study to check it out tonight."
"Goodbye." Gu Qingxi stopped him. "
Why?" Ye Wuchen frowned slightly, "Or is there another truth?"
"No, you are just a weak mortal now. If you go to the study, I'm afraid you will be beaten to death by the city lord as soon as you reach the door." Gu Qingxi shrugged.
Ye Wuchen: "..." He forgot that he is a mortal now.
"Are you cursing the tower spirit bastard in your heart?" Gu Qingxi asked.
Ye Wuchen: "...No."
Gu Qingxi glanced at Ye Wuchen, obviously not believing what he said.
"Wait until the city lord leaves the mansion tomorrow, and I will investigate in the mansion." Gu Qingxi said.
"The city lord's golden elixir, you build the foundation." Ye Wuchen reminded concisely.
"I am the second young lady who just returned to the city lord's mansion. I don't know etiquette, I am rude and rude, and I am very good at fighting. Whoever stops me will end up like the city lord's wife and the young master." Gu Qingxi bared his teeth and said fiercely.
Ye Wuchen: "..."
The next morning, the city lord went out. It was said that there was a collapse of Weifang in the west of the city. He wanted to go and check it out, and then decide how to rebuild the house.
"It sounds like a good city lord who is dedicated to the people, isn't it?" Gu Qingxi walked in the back garden of the city lord's mansion and said to Ye Wuchen as he walked.
Gu Qingxi asked all the maids and other guards to withdraw, and asked Ye Wuchen to accompany him, and began to investigate in the city lord's mansion.
"From the current point of view, it is true." Ye Wuchen replied.
"See if there is a secret room or something in the City Lord's Mansion. What if the City Lord hides a secret in there?" Gu Qingxi walked to the rockery in the back garden and fiddled with the rocks of the rockery.
"What are you doing?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"See if there is a mechanism to open the secret room or something." Gu Qingxi replied.
"Little sister, what are you doing here?" Just as Gu Qingxi finished speaking, a man's voice came.
Gu Qingxi turned her head and saw the eldest son of the City Lord standing not far away watching them.
"Wandering in the garden." Gu Qingxi said casually.
"Little sister, I'm not saying anything as your eldest brother. You just returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and you brought back a man of unknown origin as your bodyguard. Now you are alone with him in private. This is bad for your reputation..." The eldest young master was interrupted by Gu Qingxi before he finished speaking.
Gu Qingxi clenched his fists, looked at the eldest young master coldly, and only uttered a sentence faintly: "Do you want to be beaten?"
The young master saw the fierce light in Gu Qingxi's eyes and subconsciously took two steps back. Then he stepped on the foot of the servant behind him. He felt embarrassed again and said with his neck stiff, "I am doing this for your own good."
