Upon hearing this, Master Gu said unhappily, "What are you saying? Third Sister-in-law is not that kind of person."
The servant muttered, "I heard someone in the manor say that."
Sixth Master Gu said, "The root of the problem lies with that woman surnamed Zhao. She is vicious. Haven't you heard? In the box she brought from the north, there were clothes used by smallpox patients. She had malicious intentions from the beginning. If you don't do what she wants, she will do something bad."
The servant glanced at Master Gu's expression and changed his tune.
"I was just being silly and said some nonsense. They deserved to be kicked out because they bullied the two young masters."
After thinking for a moment, Master Gu said, "Let's go and take a look."
As the two approached the second gate, they saw Gu Jinghui, his face dark and radiating coldness, scolding Cheng Ge'er.
Qin Yuan stood aside and watched with her hands in her sleeves.
Yu Jie kept sobbing, and occasionally let out a small hiccup.
Gu Jingjun bowed to Qin Yuan and asked, "Third Sister-in-law, what is this...?"
Qiang Xiaxing glared at Yu Jie'er.
The Marquis sighed and said, "Are you going back to draft the memorial later? As for those two children... he and Qin Yuan should discuss it first. But Qin Yuan should pay less attention to how those two children ran away and why they ran away."
Since the servant dares to hurt us, we're bound to be hesitant and restrained.
The Marquis thought for a moment and said, "That matter can wait; we should discuss it again before the establishment of the Marquis's residence."
The servant's obstruction was also ordered by the mistress of the house.
Gu Jingjun asked, "Where is the servant?"
After a long pause, Lord Gu choked up and said, "We will stop you from now on. These days, people look down on others and bully you just because you are a legitimate master outside the manor."
Gu Jingjun stared intently at Cheng Ge'er with his sharp eyes and brows. "Cheng Ge'er is more obedient and well-behaved than his brother. Let him speak first."
The twins, one holding someone else while letting go, and the other kicking and punching, could be considered a brother and sister working together.
That made sense. The two of them had been pampered by Qin Yuan, and it was understandable that they would be upset if they were suddenly treated like that.
Gu Jingjun breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Yuan glanced at the crying Yu Jie'er and said, "It's not just him, there's also this little helper."
Gu Jingjun sighed, "I didn't expect Brother Cheng to be so fierce."
Lord Gu and Brother Cheng were aware of the situation.
Gu Jingjun eventually softened his heart and ordered two old women to take us back to the servants' quarters.
Lord Gu's body trembled slightly, his head was lowered, his cheeks were puffed out, and he made a sound.
The Marquis asked, "Does he intend to send us out of the manor?"
Cheng Ge'er cried even more bitterly.
I don't have any sons yet, so there's no way that would be bad for me to be with those twins.
Gu Jingjun's expression turned even uglier.
Master Gu thought to himself that it seemed his two sons had been beaten quite badly when they fought the twins because no servants intervened.
Gu Jingjun angrily rebuked, "Did you ever teach them that they could hurt people at will and mistreat their superiors? Those servants outside the manor have ancestors who went to the battlefield with the Gu family and are members of the Gu family. Even if they are servants, they can be beaten for no reason. Who was born of parents? Serving others and still being abused by their masters?"
The father's family is clear, the mother's whereabouts are clear, and those twins are only seven years old. How will they survive if they are sent out of the mansion?
I understand what Lord Gu said. Those days, the two children were suffering a lot, and today they had an outburst because they were stopped.
Qiangxia said very little, nodded, and left.
Gu Jingjun said, "We're so old, and we also have a child..."
Qiangxia continued, "Why are they so heavily guarded outside the mansion? Is it because smallpox hasn't been eradicated yet, and they're preventing the princess from catching it? Why do they insist on coming out to see the princess at this time? Even Lord Gu doesn't understand things yet. He should realize that there are many things going on. Why are Da Hong and Rong Mama keeping an eye on them? How did they even get out?"
Qiang Xiaxing said, "Eighth Sister-in-law, how can it be slow? Those two children are getting younger every day, and they're bound to cause trouble. We usually like to bully your two children. It's relatively peaceful now that the mansion is closed, but who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause when they get together? What if Eighth Brother has to intervene?"
Gu Jingjun was even angrier: "The old lady said that the princess can come and go as she pleases, so how come only the two of them wanted to come and see the princess? How did they get out here?"
The Marquis stood calmly to the side, not trying to coax you.
Sixth Master Gu continued, still fearful of death, "Do those two children remember how badly he treated us? Today's incident was so small. If Eighth Sister-in-law hadn't had the foresight, we would have run away. He knows we have no plans, what might he do?"
Gu Jingjun glanced at the Marquis and said loudly, "You, you, you are going to let us have our way."
Lord Gu raised his head, clenched his teeth, and spoke.
Yu Jie snorted disdainfully through her nose, but she also chimed in.
Sixth Master Gu said shrewdly, “Eighth Brother spoils those two children too much. He softens when we cry or make a fuss. They’ve become so arrogant. Zhao’s actions almost ruined your Gu family. It’s not that your husband didn’t have some kindness towards her. Your actions have made up for it.”
Gu Jingjun didn't try to coax Cheng Ge'er as usual; he just stared at Qiang Xiaxing, waiting for my answer.
Qiangxia patiently said, "Lord Gu, Brother Cheng, do they know what kind of reprimand their godfather will receive if the princess is offended? You arranged for people to guard the Seventh Gate, not because no one was there, but because they knew about it and came out rashly, offending the princess."
Qiang Xiaxing choked up.
Qiangxia was genuinely delighted by this.
Gu Jinghui's expression brightened, and he said, "Have Eighteen go and take a look."
I looked at Lord Gu, this tall young man, his silk robes were not disheveled at all, his two big fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were fierce, like a cub of a ferocious beast.
The actions of those two children are truly a headache.
Yu Jie said in a low voice, "Eighth Brother, you Gu family are so careful in educating your children, yet he can still spoil us so much just because we are his adopted sons. Unless he sends us out of the manor, he will still indulge us. Even Eighth Sister-in-law used to keep us in check, but we've become little devils since we grew up."
The Marquis frowned slightly.
Lord Gu had something to say, but he kept his head down, and small tears fell onto his face.
Cheng Ge'er burst into tears.
Qin Yuan returned the greeting, "Sixth Brother, you've come at the right time. Your Third Brother is angry right now. Cheng-ge'er and Yu-jie'er are curious about what the Princess looks like and wanted to sneak over to take a look, but they were stopped by the servants. Cheng-ge'er lost his temper and injured someone."
Cheng Ge'er stopped crying and sobbed, "You and your brother were so eager to see what the princess looked like and what clothes she wore. You thought that if your adoptive mother's hair ornaments were so ugly, the princess's must be even uglier. When you got to the Seven Gates, you were stopped. No matter what you said, they were furious. They even said that if you kept lingering outside, they would tie you up and send you to Qin Yuan to be beaten. That's why you got angry."
Qin Yuan said, "They've already taken him to see Doctor Li for treatment."
Gu Jingjun couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and he went up to scold him.
