"Wh…what do you mean?"
The old lady's voice trembled, her face full of disbelief as she looked at Gu Qingfeng, "What do you mean your Gu family is behind her?"
"You really don't understand, or have you forgotten what you did? Didn't your Xu family kick her out?"
Gu Qingfeng sneered, his tone full of sarcasm as he stood with his arms folded.
Gu Qingfeng had already learned the cause and effect of this matter from Xu Lingyi.
The Xu family's scheming and snobbery are shocking.
Although all the noble families in Beijing are snobbish and want to climb up the social ladder, this is human nature.
But there are very few people as snobbish as the Xu family who don't treat their granddaughter as a human being. At least other people value their relatives and know how to protect their children.
The Xu family keeps those who are useful and kicks out those who are useless.
"Your Xu family doesn't want her, but our Gu family is very happy to have another daughter. She will be the daughter of the Gu family in the future. When she marries into Prince Yan's mansion, she will also have the Gu family to support her. Naturally, you don't need to worry about it, old lady."
Gu Qingfeng looked sarcastic.
Not to mention that Xu Lingyi was once Wei Fuchi's fiancée, just because she is now his sister, he has the responsibility to help her teach the Xu family a lesson.
The old lady was pale, and her wrinkled face showed dejection, but she still argued with trembling lips.
"That day was just a misunderstanding. The Xu family never thought of driving her away."
The old lady actually burst into tears as she spoke.
She looked at Xu Lingyi with guilty eyes, apologizing but still being stubborn.
"I just wanted to punish you a little, not really drive you away from the Xu family. You have to trust Grandma. I have no ill intentions towards you. If you still feel upset, I'm willing to do anything to calm you down."
The old lady would never admit this no matter what.
Seeing that Xu Lingyi still turned her head away without any fluctuation, the old lady continued to speak.
"If they really wanted to get rid of you, why didn't we go to the government office that day... In the final analysis, the Xu family never thought of getting rid of you."
"Yier, you are the Xu family's bloodline, you have the Xu family's blood flowing in your bones..."
"Whether it's true or not, you and I both know it, so please stop pestering me."
Xu Lingyi turned her head away and refused to look at her again.
The old lady obviously wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qi Yuan's cold voice.
"Madam Xu, it's time for you to return home."
Qi Yuan's fierce eyes narrowed slightly.
Xu Lingyi didn't want to communicate with the Xu family anymore, so he came out to put an end to it all.
Qi Yuan holds a high position, and he always seems to be surrounded by a layer of frost.
Looking at it coldly, it's chilling.
Even though the old lady has lived to this age, she is still afraid of the King of Yan and dares not provoke him.
"I hope that the Xu family will behave themselves and stop pestering me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying this coldly, Qi Yuan took Xu Lingyi away.
Old Madam Xu was left sitting in the carriage in a daze, covered in cold sweat.
Seeing Xu Lingyi leave, other members of the Xu family also came over.
"How's Grandmother?"
Xu Wanning's voice trembled. If Xu Lingyi was willing to forgive the Xu family, she might also forgive her.
"Mother, Yi'er, are you willing to forgive us..."
Father Xu looked nervous. God knows how uneasy he felt after hearing so many compliments today.
Others may not have noticed it, but Father Xu found that the way the Emperor and Empress looked at him today was not right, and seemed to be cold.
"Mom, are you speaking?"
The old lady's face looked extremely ugly and pale.
The Xu family might not be able to see it, but they just don't want to believe that Xu Lingyi is really so heartless.
"She hates our family." The old lady frowned, feeling extremely regretful.
She shed tears and said, "There is no turning back."
Xu Lingyi didn't say much today, but her attitude was firm.
The actions of Gu Qingfeng and Prince Yan were all due to Xu Lingyi's determination.
She really intended to break off all ties with their family.
"Etiquette, loyalty and filial piety are the etiquette and laws passed down by our ancestors. She is so heartless, isn't she afraid of being criticized?"
Father Xu's face was filled with anger. "I'm going to go find her myself."
Mr. Xu said this, but he didn't dare to act.
The old lady sighed heavily, "She will soon become the consort of Prince Yan, and will become the empress in the future. Neither you nor the Xu family can afford to offend her again."
"Don't go there again."
They can only be gentle and must not show any disrespect.
The imperial power is the one that suppresses the etiquette and laws.
"Then mother, what should we do in the future? If she is determined to cut ties with the Xu family, our family will become a laughing stock in the entire capital, and even the whole world."
Father Xu didn't dare to imagine how much ridicule there would be, both overt and covert.
The old lady exhaled deeply, her hands trembling slightly, "Even if it is like this, I can only bear it."
They could not change Xu Lingyi's attitude and thoughts, nor did they dare to force the Princess of Yan.
The Xu family may never have a chance to turn things around in the future.
————
Those who had bullied Xu Lingyi in the past, such as Xu Wanning and Xu San, were now filled with worry.
They used to be a family, and Xu Lingyi always accepted everything that happened to her. They were not afraid of her, after all, she was timid and cowardly.
But now they know that she is not really timid and willing to be bullied.
She is not really tolerant and kind, but she keeps everything in mind.
With her current status, she will definitely take revenge on them when she climbs to a high position in the future.
"Mother, she will never let me go..."
Xu Wanning had a look of panic on her face, and so did Xu San.
