Gu Shan remembered what Gu Jiu said to her in the flower hall of the Marquis' Mansion: If the Madam asks, you must tell the truth.
So, Gu Shan cried and said, "Third sister holds a grudge against second sister, so she asked eldest sister to secretly spread the news that second sister is a sickly woman, so that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion will avoid second sister and never associate with her again."
Gu Zhen was shocked and couldn't believe it.
She looked towards Gu Yue, suspecting that Gu Yue had told Gu Shan about this. That was why Gu Shan knew so much about it.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Gu Shan continued, "During the lunchtime banquet, Third Sister drank a few too many glasses and became upset, causing another disturbance. Fortunately, Sister Chunhe showed up in time and took Third Sister to the wing room."
Gu Yue stared at Gu Shan intently. She never expected that Gu Shan would dare to tell her the whole story in front of her.
Who gave her the courage?
Gu Yue felt betrayed.
Gu Shan betrayed her, how could Gu Shan dare to do that.
Gu Shan didn't stop, but continued speaking.
"My third sister cried in the side room, and my eldest sister and I finally managed to calm her down. The three of us returned to the hall. Everything was fine at first, but when Sister Qi asked about the situation in the northwest, my third sister got angry.
Perhaps it was because Sister Qi asked the second sister at first, and the third sister felt that she was not valued and was unhappy, so she ridiculed the second sister.
It is said that the second sister is in poor health, bedridden all year round, rarely goes out, and does not understand the situation in the northwest.
The scene was very awkward at the time, and the sisters in the Marquis' Mansion were all very surprised. They had never expected that the third sister would mock the second sister in front of everyone.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Gu Yue was so angry that she was about to explode.
Damn Gu Shan, how dare she?
"Fourth sister, why did you lie? Are you jealous of me? Are you jealous that I am more favored by our mother than you? That's why you lied to destroy me. Is that right?"
Gu Yue asked sternly.
Gu Shan's face remained calm as she shook her head and said, "I'm not lying. Everything I said is true. If I lied even a little bit, I'd be struck by lightning the moment I leave the house!"
boom!
Gu Yue's ears were ringing. The words "God bless you, God bless you" kept echoing in her mind. She didn't listen to what the others said.
She stared at Gu Shan blankly, seemingly unable to react.
When Gu Shan uttered such a vicious oath, everyone looked at her sideways.
Even Mrs. Xie couldn't help but look at Gu Shan a few more times.
Nowadays, the power of a curse is extraordinary. Once a person swears a curse, no one will doubt that what she said is false.
The fact that Gu Shan dared to swear an oath proves that everything she said was true.
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding why Gu Shan wanted to tell the story.
Based on past experience, every time Gu Yue did something wrong, Gu Shan would always be the first to clean up the mess and find ways to help Gu Yue make a big deal out of a small matter or a small matter out of nothing.
Everyone has become accustomed to Gu Shan doing this.
This time, Gu Shan did not clean up the mess for Gu Yue, but instead revealed everything. Everyone was wondering if Gu Shan had taken the wrong medicine.
The two sisters had a conflict in private, and Gu Shan hated Gu Yue, so this time she no longer helped Gu Yue.
Well, everyone nodded secretly, it’s very likely!
Gu Yue has such a bad temper, but Gu Shan can always tolerate her. Everyone thinks Gu Shan is very amazing.
If it were someone else, they would have turned against each other long ago.
Gu Jiu was a little surprised by Gu Shan's reaction.
Could it be that what she said in the flower hall of the Marquis' Mansion had worked?
She just said it casually and really didn't think it would work.
In Gu Jiu's opinion, Gu Shan is a person who is extremely good at endurance.
Before Gu Yue touches upon Gu Shan's fundamental interests, and with the pressure from Xie, Gu Shan will always help Gu Yue to clean up the mess.
She never expected that just from her casual instigation, Gu Shan would actually turn against Gu Yue and no longer help Gu Yue to clean up the mess.
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled secretly.
It seems that Gu Shan's patience has reached its limit.
Moreover, as everyone grows older, a girl as precocious and smart as Gu Shan will definitely start thinking about her lifelong affairs early on.
Xie repeatedly showed partiality, and Gu Yue repeatedly refused to appreciate her kindness, disregarding Gu Shan's kindness like a worn-out shoe. Even if Gu Shan was a saint, she still had a temper.
Just as Gu Jiu encouraged her, Gu Shan decided to go for it.
Xie's face turned black with anger. She stared at Gu Shan with a very complicated look in her eyes.
It was like meeting Gu Shan for the first time.
In the past, in Xie's impression, Gu Shan was a well-behaved and sensible, but not very likable child.
However, it turned out that Xie did not really understand Gu Shan.
Mrs. Xie took a deep breath and tried her best to control her anger, not to hold Gu Shan responsible for her betrayal for the time being.
Because there is another culprit waiting for her to deal with.
Mrs. Xie stared at Gu Yue, "Yuer, is what your fourth sister said true?"
Gu Yue glared at Gu Shan fiercely and flatly denied it, "Mother, everything Fourth Sister said is slander. She is just jealous of me and deliberately ruining my reputation."
Mrs. Xie snorted coldly, "Girl Zhen, Shan'er said you were secretly spreading the rumor that the second girl was a sickly girl. Is that true?"
Gu Zhen's eyes darted around, looking left and right, weighing the pros and cons.
After a moment, he made up his mind.
"Madam, everything Fourth Sister said is false."
Gu Shan was surprised for a moment when she heard this, but then she regained her composure.
She was not surprised that Gu Zhen chose Gu Yue.
Gu Shan secretly looked at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu lowered his head, and she couldn't see Gu Jiu's expression.
Xie asked, "Shan'er, do you have anything else to say?"
Gu Shan's face was expressionless. "Every word my daughter said is true. There is absolutely no falsehood. Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion witnessed these things. My daughter is not making things up."
"Really?" Mrs. Xie's expression was very cold, her eyes were cold, "No matter whether what you said is true or false, before you said it, have you ever considered that Yue'er is your biological sister?
How heartless and indifferent you are to treat your own sister like this. I taught you so much, and this is how you repay me?"
Gu Shan shuddered all over. "Daughter, I just want you to face up to your mistakes and stop blaming others every time you make a mistake."
"snort!"
Xie snorted coldly, "Your third sister made a mistake, and I will teach her a lesson. When is it your turn to speak nonsense here? You are too presumptuous."
Gu Shan mustered up her courage and said, "My daughter is not talking nonsense. Everything she said is true."
"Shut up right there! You still dare to quibble even now. Aren't you afraid of me punishing you?"
Gu Shan lowered her head, feeling wronged and crying silently.
Gu Jiu stepped forward, ready to rescue Gu Shan.
No matter what, at this moment, Gu Shan and she were on the same front. It was only right and proper for her to step forward.
But there are people who are faster than Gu Jiu.
Gu Lin suddenly shouted, "I heard it."
Everyone's eyes turned to Gu Lin.
Gu Lin shrank back, a little frightened. But finally, she mustered up the courage to speak: "I heard my eldest sister talking to Sister Qin from the Marquis's Mansion. My eldest sister said that my second sister was a sickly child. This is absolutely true."
Gu Zhen's face changed drastically, becoming as pale as snow.
She pointed at Gu Lin and said, "Fifth sister, I didn't expect you to be such a person. Just because I had a dispute with you, you actually made up a lie to frame me."
"I'm not making this up." Gu Lin shouted, "Whether this is true or not, ask Sister Qin from the neighboring Marquis' Mansion, and the truth will be revealed.
Moreover, when they were in the flower hall, it was the third sister who provoked the second sister first, and then the second sister fought back.
The third sister was no match for the second sister and was laughed at, so the fourth sister came forward to rescue the third sister, but the third sister did not appreciate it.
Big sister, third sister, you did something bad, but ended up shooting yourself in the foot. Why didn't you let me speak? "
"Shut up, everyone. Fifth girl, did I allow you to speak?" Mrs. Xie was furious.
Gu Lin, a little brat, dared to jump out. When did she, the mistress of the house, become so unworthy?
presumptuous!
Gu Jiu couldn't stand it any longer and stood up and said, "Madam wants to know the truth about what happened in the Marquis' Mansion today. Fourth sister told Madam the truth.
We all understand that the wife wants to cover up for her third sister because she feels sorry for her.
But Madam shouldn't confuse right and wrong for the sake of the third sister and put all the blame on the fourth sister."
"presumptuous!"
Bang!
Xie slammed her hand on the table, "Second girl, did I ask you to speak? If it weren't for the argument between you and the third girl, would you let the Marquis' Mansion laugh at you?
You are guests in the Marquis's residence, and you disregard your dignity and argue in front of everyone, and you think you are right.
Second girl, let me tell you, it's not your turn to speak here. It's certainly not your turn to decide how to handle this matter."
Gu Jiu confronted Mrs. Xie directly, “Madam is right, how to handle this matter is entirely up to Madam.
However, Madam shouldn't put all the blame on Fourth Sister. Fourth Sister didn't do anything wrong today.
On the contrary, the fourth sister has been trying hard to persuade the third sister not to lose her temper and not to be blinded by anger and make a fool of herself.
It's obvious that the third sister didn't listen to the advice, but instead intensified her behavior and continued to provoke. "The third sister is so ignorant and arrogant, shouldn't she be taught a lesson?"
Gu Yue burst into tears, "Second sister, are you trying to force me to death?"
"Shut up right there." Gu Jiu scolded Gu Yue harshly.
Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.
Even Gu Yue was dumbfounded. How could Gu Jiu dare to yell at her?
Gu Jiu stared at Gu Yue with a cold face, "How dare you cry? Everyone can feel wronged and cry. But you are not qualified to feel wronged and cry.
Everything that happened today was caused by you. You have no room for anyone else in your heart and you insist on trampling all the sisters under your feet, and everyone must obey you.
When things don't go your way, you lose your temper and force others to obey you. Do you think you are gold and everyone should like you?
"You, you... wow... Mother, you saw this, this is how my second sister treated me. I won't live anymore, I won't live anymore..."
"Then go to hell!"
Gu Jiu said lightly.
Everyone shuddered. The second sister (older sister) was so fierce. But it was so cool!
I feel really good when I curse.
Gu Yue was so shocked that she forgot to cry.
Gu Jiu sneered, "Threatening someone with death? Go ahead and die if you dare. Do you dare to die? Gu Yue, I'm telling you, if Madam doesn't want to pursue what happened today, then forget it. But if Madam does, you won't be able to get away with it."
Gu Yue was stunned and had forgotten how to react.
Xie's chest heaved violently with anger.
"You're rebelling! You're rebelling! Gu Jiu, who allowed you to speak so recklessly in Furong Courtyard? Do you still have me, your wife, in your eyes? You dare to lecture someone in front of me. You are simply lawless and don't take me seriously."
Gu Jiu's expression was cold, "Has Madam made up her mind to protect Gu Yue?"
"What do you mean? Shut up."
Gu Jiu smiled coldly, "If the Madam is determined to protect Gu Yue and put all the blame on us, then we have no choice but to ask Father to come out and judge. Qingmei, go and get the Master."
"stop!"
Xie stood up suddenly and stared at Gu Jiu angrily.
Gu Jiu is fearless and no one is afraid of him.
Xie has Gu Yue as a weakness, but she doesn't.
Xie wanted to act like an elder in front of her. That's fine, but first of all she had to act like an elder.
We don’t ask Xie to do a great job, but at least he can maintain the minimum fairness on obvious issues of right and wrong, which makes people convinced.
Instead of helping Gu Yue to confuse right and wrong and scolding others, the matter ended up in a mess and became a confusing lawsuit.
Mrs. Xie scolded sternly, "Gu Jiu, are you sure I can't deal with you? Don't forget, nominally you have to call me mother. I am your stepmother. Disrespecting your stepmother is a great act of unfilial piety."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Madam, please go ahead and say what you want. I'll listen to you. If you want to accuse me of being unfilial, please do as you wish."
Xie was stunned. Gu Jiu's reaction was not right.
Then she realized that it was not that Gu Jiu’s reaction was wrong, but that Gu Jiu was simply a cruel person and a bitch.
Gu Jiu only said, "Before Madam destroys me, I will definitely destroy Gu Yue first. If Madam doesn't believe me, you can give it a try."
At this moment, Gu Jiu was too lazy to beat around the bush with Xie.
Everyone should make things clear so that they can find the right balance in how they get along with each other in the future.
Xie continued to be the mistress of the house, and Gu Jiu would give her enough face and respect on the surface.
If Xie breaks the rules of the game, Gu Jiu doesn't mind using extreme measures.
“You, you…”
Xie pointed at Gu Jiu, she was so angry that she was about to explode.
Gu Jiu looked at her and asked softly, "Has Madam made a decision?"
Xie gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Today's matter ends here. No one is allowed to tell anyone about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion or what happened here. If I find out that anyone is secretly discussing this, I will punish them severely."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Xie continued, "Yuer, Shan'er, the two of you stay here. Gu Zhen, Gu Lin, the two of you kneel in the yard and reflect on your mistakes. Gu Jiu, you return to your room immediately."
Gu Zhen and Gu Lin were horrified. Xie had punished them by making them kneel in the yard, but had spared Gu Jiu. Why?
Gu Jiu lowered his eyebrows slightly and said, "Madam, take care of yourself. I will take my leave first."
Gone?
Gu Jiu just left like that?
Obviously, everything is related to Gu Jiu, so why can Gu Jiu stay out of it and not be punished?
Oh, oh, oh!
Gu Lin shivered a few times and was very scared.
Xie glared at them coldly, "Gu Zhen, Gu Lin, both of you get out of here and kneel down."
Even though Gu Zhen and Gu Lin were extremely reluctant, they could only kneel in the yard and reflect on themselves.
Gu Zhen was very angry and unconvinced. She knelt on the blue brick floor without a cushion, and her knees hurt.
She said angrily, "Why wasn't my second sister punished? Why did Madam punish only the two of us?"
Gu Lin felt aggrieved and secretly rolled her eyes when she heard Gu Zhen's words.
"Big sister, shouldn't you be punished? You spread rumors that Second Sister is a sickly woman, so you should be severely punished."
Gu Zhen retorted, "I'm not lying. My second sister is always sickly."
Gu Lin said, "Even if Second Sister is sickly, it's not your turn to talk nonsense outside. I know that the reason you agreed to Third Sister's request is because you are jealous. You want to ruin Second Sister and prevent her from finding a good marriage."
Gu Zhen stared at Gu Lin, "What do you know? You know nothing, don't talk nonsense."
Gu Lin snorted, "Although I'm young, I'm not stupid. My second sister lost her mother, and although she was born of a legitimate wife, she lived a life worse than us, the illegitimate children.
Now, your second sister is doing better and better, and is increasingly valued by our father. Of course, you feel unbalanced. You just want to ruin your second sister, and you just don't want her to marry into a good family."
"Gu Lin, if you dare to say another word of nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart."
Gu Zhen stared at Gu Lin with a ferocious expression and vicious eyes.
Gu Lin shuddered, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Gu Zhen snorted coldly. She felt extremely embarrassed to have her secrets exposed.
She looked out the window. What was going on inside?
Will Madam punish Gu Yue and Gu Shan?
I definitely will.
After all, the wife had embarrassed the boss, and was actually threatened by Gu Jiu in return.
Gu Zhen still finds it unbelievable.
Where did Gu Jiu get the courage and confidence to actually threaten his wife?
Isn't she afraid that her wife will manipulate her in her marriage? Isn't she afraid that her wife will really accuse her of being unfilial?
What’s even more incredible is that my wife actually compromised.
As the mistress of the house, the wife has so many ways to control Gu Jiu, why should she compromise?
Gu Jiu is just a little girl, what on earth can she be capable of?
Gu Zhen couldn't figure it out.
This question has been tormenting her and is almost driving her crazy.
