"Mother, that damned girl Gu Jiu is so rebellious that she actually dared to make you angry. I'm going to find her and beat her up."
The third girl, Gu Yue, was furious and spoke up for her biological mother, Xie.
Xie was happy in her heart, but she pretended to be serious on the surface and scolded her angrily, "How dare you! I've told you so many times that you must call Gu Jiu "Second Sister" no matter who is in front of you or behind your back. Even if it's just superficial, you have to do it thoroughly."
Gu Yue stuck out her tongue, took Xie's arm, and leaned against her. "Mother, I know I was wrong. I was also angry that my second sister dared to be so arrogant. I felt sorry for you, and I said the wrong thing in a hurry."
"You!" Xie stretched out a finger and poked Gu Yue's forehead, her eyes full of doting.
Gu Yue is only half a year younger than Gu Jiu. As soon as she was born, Xie was made the legal wife.
Therefore, Xie doted on Gu Yue very much and said that she was her lucky star and a blessing to her family and mother.
Gu Yue relied on her favor and acted rather recklessly.
"Mother, your daughter greets you."
After the third sister finished talking to her mother, the fourth girl, Gu Shan, came forward to pay her respects.
Xie said calmly, "Shan'er is here, everyone please sit down."
"Thank you, mother!"
Gu Shan sat on the chair obediently.
Gu Yue muttered, "Second sister, are you really that bold to make such a big fuss?"
Xie snorted coldly. Gu Jiu, this little bitch, let her be proud for a few days.
Then, the two young men walked into the upper room.
One is the sixth young master Gu Rong, and the other is the eighth young master Gu Gong, both of whom are Xie’s biological sons.
Gu Gong was a teenager. As soon as he entered the room, he shouted, "Mom, is Gu Jiu making you angry? I'm going to beat Gu Jiu up."
Xie was troubled because Gu Gong and Gu Yue had exactly the same temper.
She frowned and said angrily, "Gu Gong, behave yourself. Have you forgotten your father's punishment?"
As soon as he mentioned his father's beating, Gu Gong suddenly felt severe pain in both buttocks.
He quickly controlled his temper and said weakly, "I'm just unhappy with my second sister for causing such a scene. She's embarrassed me."
Xie was relieved. "I know you feel bad for your mother, but you can't do anything rash. I know how to handle this matter."
Gu Cheng asked with concern: "Mother, are you okay?"
Mrs. Xie looked at her most outstanding son and felt proud in her heart.
She said, "It's good that the second girl is causing this trouble! Let's use this opportunity to clean out these termites."
Gu Cheng asked, "What does mother need her son to do?"
Mrs. Xie smiled slightly. He was indeed her son, steady and smart.
She asked, "Have you finished your homework?"
Gu Cheng nodded, "It's done."
Mrs. Xie said, "Your father is in the outer study right now. You and Xiaogong should go to see him with your homework. Remember, don't mention anything else besides your homework. Don't let your father down."
Gu Cheng nodded in agreement, "Son, I understand. I will go see you right away and will not let you down."
Gu Gong didn't understand. "Mother, why don't you let us mention other things in front of Father? Second sister made such a big fuss, shouldn't we teach her a lesson?"
Xie glared at Gu Gong fiercely, feeling very disappointed with him. "Nonsense! You're a man, but you're going to your father to complain about your sisters. Do you think you're capable of that?
"Learn from your brother and use your brain more. As long as you two brothers do well in your studies, your father will be happy and his anger will subside."
"Mother is right, eighth brother, come with me to see father. You must not say anything careless then." Gu Yan acted like an older brother.
Mrs. Xie nodded repeatedly, with satisfaction flashing in her eyes. Gu Yan was indeed her most proud son.
Gu Gong was a little unconvinced, but he knew what to do and didn't say anything. He followed Gu Cheng out of the upper room.
Gu Yue said, "When father calms down, mother will definitely punish my second sister severely."
Xie smiled and said nothing.
Gu Shan put down the tea bowl and said, "Mother, relying on my two brothers alone to calm father down may not be enough. I think it would be best to arrange for Aunt Bai to serve father tonight."
"Fourth sister, what nonsense are you talking about? You asked mother to arrange for Aunt Bai to serve father. What are you thinking?"
Gu Yue was extremely angry and loudly accused Gu Shan.
Gu Shan said calmly, "Third sister, calm down. I'm doing this for mother's sake. Mrs. Li was mother's dowry. She made such a big mistake. Father was furious and even took his anger out on mother.
"At this moment, the most important thing is how to calm my father down. Aunt Bai is intelligent, clever, knowledgeable, and understanding. It would be perfect for her to serve my father. For now, let's not worry about other things."
Gu Yue pointed at Gu Shan and said, "How do you know that relying on the Sixth Brother and the Eighth Brother won't make Father calm down? Do you think you're the only one who's smart? You even let Aunt Bai serve Father. You're clearly a traitor."
Gu Shan lowered her head to hide the anger in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and looked at Mrs. Xie. "Mother, I'm definitely not a traitor. I'm sincerely thinking about you."
Xie's face was calm, "I know, Shan'er is thoughtful."
Mrs. Xie had always known that her daughter, Gu Shan, was very smart, even too smart, but she didn't like it.
Both daughters are planning for her.
Gu Yue didn't offer any useful suggestions, but Xie Shi felt it was very thoughtful and comforting. Her daughter was anxious and angry about her, and even threatened to teach Gu Jiu a lesson. It seemed very impulsive, but it also showed her genuine filial piety.
Gu Shan, on the other hand, was calm and rational, and even though her suggestions were very pertinent, one could not sense any emotion from her.
Gu Yue looked at Mrs. Xie worriedly, "Mother, do you really want Aunt Bai to serve Father? That woman..."
"What woman? She is your father's concubine. You should call her aunt." Xie was furious and spoke in a harsh tone.
Gu Yue pouted, "Daughter loves mother dearly."
Mrs. Xie hugged Gu Yue and said, "Don't worry, Yue'er, mother is fine. Let Aunt Bai take care of your father tonight. Shan'er is right. The most important thing now is how to make your father calm down. Don't worry about other things for now."
Gu Yue complained, "Cheap Aunt Bai. Ultimately, it's all Second Sister's fault. I didn't see her making a fuss before, but she made a big fuss today and even implicated Mother."
Gu Shan said, "I guess Second Sister was forced into this scene by Tao Hong and had no choice but to do it."
Gu Yue stared at Gu Shan, "You are speaking for the second sister again."
Gu Shan quickly explained, "I'm not speaking for Second Sister. We've all heard a lot about what Taohong did in Zhilan Courtyard. If Third Sister were in Second Sister's position, she wouldn't be able to endure it for three years. I'm afraid she would cause trouble in less than three months."
Gu Yue looked proud, "That's right! Second sister is weak and easily bullied. She actually let a maid bully her so much. She has no ability and only knows how to indulge Taohong. In the end, Taohong forced her into a desperate situation. She deserves it."
Gu Shan had a different opinion, "Second sister is cautious, Taohong was arranged for her by mother, so she naturally has to treat Taohong with some respect.
It’s a pity that Taohong didn’t do her duty, which forced her second sister to lose her patience.
The second sister tolerated Taohong for three years, but when she got angry one day, she killed Taohong.
As the saying goes, she can endure things that ordinary people cannot endure, and she can also make a quick decision and use the power of others to get rid of Taohong. If nothing unexpected happens, this second sister will achieve great things in the future."
Mrs. Xie sneered, "What great things can a young girl accomplish? In two years, find a family of equal status and send her away. When she arrives at her husband's house, she'll have her parents-in-law above her and her sisters-in-law below her. I don't believe she can still stir up trouble."
Gu Yue nodded repeatedly, "Mother is right, we should have sent Second Sister away early. Otherwise, she would be an eyesore in front of us."
Gu Shan opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Seeing her mother and third sister were happy, she tactfully kept silent.
However, she did not agree with her mother's words. With one move, her second sister eliminated Taohong and killed Li Pozi and her gang. How could they be so easily dealt with?
She sighed secretly and was curious about what her second sister would do next.
