Because Gu Huanhuan learned Suzhou embroidery, she couldn't do manual labor.
Although the family's soap workshop has closed, there are still merchants coming and going from their home.
Gu Lili simply told Gu Huanhuan to take the maids back to her room to embroider, so that when someone came, they could come looking for her and Gu Yun Chu.
"Huanhuan, is someone coming to pick up the soap?" Gu Lili asked loudly.
At this moment, Gu Huanhuan was still some distance away from Gu Lili.
Gu Huanhuan didn't answer, but instead jogged over.
Gu Lili also quickly stopped what she was doing and walked towards Gu Huanhuan.
Gu Yun Chu followed closely behind. Judging from Gu Huan Huan's appearance, there must have been several businessmen there.
"Sister, it's Brother Mingyue's mother who's here, and she's brought along some Princess Mengyun." Gu Huanhuan said with a displeased expression.
The two of them brought a group of people over, making a big show of demanding that Gu Lili come out to meet them. Their aggressive manner made Gu Huanhuan very dislike them.
They also said that Gu Huanhuan's family were all uncouth people, and that they didn't even know how to greet her.
Gu Lili was a little confused when she heard this.
Why would the head of the Han family and some princess come to my house together?
What is the purpose of doing this?
Gu Lili reached out and gently wiped the sweat from Gu Huanhuan's forehead with her sleeve, and asked softly, "You look unhappy, have you been wronged?"
Gu Huanhuan shook her head, not wanting to talk about what had just happened.
Judging from their attire, they must be of high status.
She was afraid that saying it would put Gu Lili in a difficult position, and most importantly, she had heard from Master Huang Ying that the princess's status was above Gu Lili's.
Gu Lili didn't ask that question often. Judging from Gu Huanhuan's expression, Gu Lili knew that she must have been wronged.
Gu Lili patted Gu Huanhuan's head reassuringly, then turned to Gu Yun Chu and said, "You don't need to go. Let Wei Yin take Xiao Li'er back with me."
When Han Mingyue's mother came to Gu Village, she didn't go to the Han Family Academy first. Instead, she brought Princess Mengyun to her own home in a very aggressive manner.
It's probably related to the recent soap business. Judging from the looks of it, they're probably here to cause trouble.
Upon hearing Gu Lili's words, Gu Yun Chu went back to work.
He also called Wei Yin over.
Because Wei Yin always takes Xiao Li'er hunting, Xiao Li'er now almost always follows behind Wei Yin.
Seeing Wei Yin arrive, Gu Lili led the group home together.
When Gu Chenxi returned home, she had already finished drying the rice.
However, he stood in the courtyard with a somewhat pale face.
Upon closer inspection, Gu Lili discovered a red handprint on Gu Chenxi's face.
Gu Lili hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Chenxi, has something happened?"
Gu Lili watched as the embroiderers, who should have been under the eaves, were now hiding in Gu Huanhuan's room, only daring to peek out.
Gu Chenxi glanced at the main room subconsciously, then shook her head repeatedly.
"It's alright, young lady. I just bumped into it by accident," Gu Chenxi said softly.
Just now, she returned from drying rice and, seeing guests in the main room, quickly made tea and served it to them.
Unexpectedly, the guests inside complained that he was unclean and even hit him.
Gu Chenxi felt extremely wronged, but she still didn't want to cause trouble for Gu Lili.
Because she had just heard the maid call the woman who hit her a princess.
Gu Lili took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, who hit you!"
Gu Lili was truly furious!
It's outrageous that someone would dare to hurt someone in their own home.
"This princess struck me, so what are you going to do about it!"
An arrogant voice came from behind Gu Lili.
Gu Lili turned around and looked in the direction of the sound with a cold face.
A woman in her early twenties was looking at him with an arrogant expression.
Her head was adorned with jewels, and her almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed. Her originally beautiful appearance was ruined by the meanness on her face.
This must be the Princess Mengyun that Gu Huanhuan mentioned earlier.
Standing beside her was a woman in her forties. Although she was older, she was very elegant and had a decisive and ruthless air about her.
He bears a resemblance to Han Mingyue; this must be the head of the Han family.
Gu Lili was still worried that Gu Chenxi had been wronged but hadn't told her.
Unexpectedly, Princess Mengyun admitted it.
Gu Lili smiled coldly and walked step by step toward Song Mengyun.
The murderous intent in his eyes had reached its peak!
"What are you trying to do! You don't even bow to me, the princess? Do you want to hit me?" Song Mengyun asked arrogantly.
Looking at the girl in front of them, although she had an extraordinary bearing, her attire certainly did not match that of the Princess of Yongning they were looking for.
Does a little girl like her think she can hit me?
Gu Lili did not answer her, but walked up to Song Mengyun and slapped her across the face before anyone could react!
Song Mengyun's face was slapped to the side by Gu Lili, who used all her strength in that slap.
The side of Song Mengyun's face that had been slapped swelled up rapidly with lightning speed.
Gu Lili's face remained expressionless. What right did she have to be a princess?
How dare they come to my house and beat someone up, and the person they beat up was actually my future aunt.
That's practically suicide!
She refused to believe it. Just because she was Yin Jiuchen's savior, did this princess dare to touch her?
Gu Lili's slap clearly caught everyone off guard.
"You...where did you come from, you brat? How dare you hit me! The dignified Yongning County Princess's family, how can you be so lawless? No wonder you're from a peasant family, you're utterly worthless! Guards, hold this brat down, I'm going to tear her face off!" Song Mengyun shouted hysterically.
The Han family head and the maid following behind her finally snapped out of their shock.
He rushed over to comfort Song Mengyun.
"Princess, are you alright?" Han Mei asked with concern.
At the same time, she glanced at Gu Lili out of the corner of her eye. If she wasn't mistaken, the calm and composed woman in front of her should be the legendary Princess Yongning.
Song Mengyun glared fiercely at Han Mei and snapped, "Do I look like I'm alright?! Guards, are you all dead?! I'll make this brat wish she were dead! How dare she hit me!"
The guards they brought with them remained outside the gate, and upon hearing their mistress roaring, they hurriedly went into the courtyard.
However, before they could get close to Gu Lili, they were stopped by Wei Yin and Xiao Li'er.
The man and the tiger, like a thousand troops, held eight strong guards firmly in place, unable to move.
It was only then that everyone noticed that Gu Lili's family actually kept a tiger.
I had the good fortune to see it from afar when I was at the royal villa, during a hunting trip.
