The whip hit Gu Shijia hard.
Every blow of the whip was accompanied by a cry of pain.
Gu Shijia was covered in blood, without any strength to fight back, lying on the ground dying.
The maids and servants beside them knelt on the ground and watched tremblingly. No one dared to step forward to help their master.
There were hurried footsteps outside the yard. Someone must have tipped off.
Gu Changan curled the corners of his lips, and with the whip in his hand, he rolled up Gu Shijia, who was lying motionless on the ground. With a force, her body was thrown directly out of the courtyard and hit the people who were walking in a hurry.
"Shijia...my daughter."
The cries from outside the yard could be clearly heard.
Gu Changan glanced at the servant kneeling on the ground with disgust, "Get lost!"
The group rushed out in a panic and ran into the furious Qin, Gu Shijia's biological mother.
Gu Changan walked out of the yard with a smile on his face, with a strong sense of sarcasm not concealed at all.
An old woman beside Qin walked up to Chang'an and looked at the ugly scar on his face. She said viciously, "You ugly freak, why don't you kneel down?"
As he said this, he kicked Chang'an on the leg, intending to make her kneel in front of Qin.
However, Gu Chang'an did not show any sign of kneeling. Instead, he raised his foot and the old woman who was speaking suddenly knelt on the ground.
She parted her red lips slightly, her voice lazily radiating from her voice, her eyes gleaming with a cold light, "You ignorant fool! Aunt Wanxin, chop off this old woman's hoof and feed it to the dogs!"
"Tier?" Wan Xin was stunned for a moment. When she met Gu Changan's eyes, she subconsciously said, "Yes!"
"How dare you!" Gu Shijia's brother said, "You dare to touch the people around my mother? You must be tired of living."
Gu Changan glanced at the man who was speaking, and curled her lips in disdain, "Do you think I dare?"
The words fell.
For some reason, the sword at Gu Shirong's waist suddenly flew out of its scabbard and pierced directly through the heart of the old woman who was talking to Qin.
The man fell into a pool of blood in an instant.
"Remember this!" Gu Changan glanced at everyone with a cold gaze, "From today on, anyone who disrespects me will die!"
"You're a rebel." Gu Shirong pointed at Gu Changan with trembling hands.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that the woman before him was no longer his useless cousin. She could actually use her inner strength to control the sword at her waist without leaving any trace. She unsheathed the sword and pierced the old woman's body directly. "Come, come, take this wild girl..."
Gu Changan looked at him with disgust as he pointed his finger at her, "What gives you the qualifications to point at me?"
As he spoke, Gu Changan waved the whip in his hand, and the finger pointing at Gu Shirong fell to the ground in an instant.
"ah!"
"son!"
"Quick, take that ugly girl down!" Gu Shirong shouted, "Beat her to death."
A group of people walked towards Gu Changan. In everyone's eyes, Gu Changan was an abandoned waste. Although everyone didn't know why Gu Changan would resist at this time, no one was afraid of her.
"Miss." Aunt Wanxin looked at Gu Changan with concern.
Gu Changan glanced at Wanxin disapprovingly and said, "Don't worry. Today we're going to let them know what fear is. Go and close the door to our courtyard to prevent it from being contaminated by this foul air."
"Tie up everyone around her as well." Qin ordered.
"What are you doing? It's a mess." An old and powerful voice shouted angrily.
"father."
"grandfather."
"Old Master."
Everyone turned around, looked in the direction of General Gu Xiong, and knelt down.
"Dad." Qin knelt on the ground and cried, "You have to take care of Shijia and Shirong. Your grandson and granddaughter, one is broken and one is missing a finger. How are we going to survive?"
"What's going on?" General Gu Xiong glanced at the ground, his brows furrowed, his face filled with worry. "Shirong, you're the eldest grandson, so tell me."
"Grandpa." Gu Shirong's voice was trembling. "It was Chang'an. She beat Shijia into this state. It was also because of Chang'an that my grandson's finger fell off. And the old woman who died here was also caused by Chang'an."
Mr. Gu's eyes fell on Chang'an's face. He didn't expect the scar on Chang'an's face to be so deep. He was silent for a moment and said,
"Your father said that a doctor is treating your face. Your face should not be exposed to the wind for the next few days. Why did you get into so much trouble instead of staying indoors to rest?"
Changan didn't say anything, Qin Shumin rushed to say, "Yeah, why don't you stay in your room and come out to cause trouble.
"Chang'an, I have always treated you like my own daughter and never wronged you. Shijia treated you even more like her own sister. Why are you so cruel today, beating your cousin like this? You are truly a heartless person."
Changan mocked, "Auntie is really a clever talker, treating me like her own child? I am so heartless?
Changan asked his aunt, "If your daughter bullies you and brings you to the door, and you just don't fight back or respond when you're being beaten or scolded like before, will you become the good child your aunt says you are?"
When General Gu Xiong heard Chang'an say this, he was surprised. He thought that Chang'an would be like before, either keeping silent or admitting his mistake.
I didn't expect to hear a different statement from Chang'an today.
Qin was also surprised. She hadn't thought Chang'an would dare to talk back to her. After a moment of surprise, she didn't think twice and shouted, "That's because you are incompetent and useless."
"Oh?" Chang'an smiled and raised an eyebrow. At that moment, in Qin's eyes, Chang'an looked like a demon from hell. "Aunt, what you mean is that I, Gu Chang'an, deserve to be bullied because I'm incompetent and useless?"
"Yes." Qin blurted out.
"Since that's the case, Chang'an doesn't want to be a waste." Chang'an stared at Qin Shumin with sharp eyes, "Then from today on, anyone who bullies me, I will make them pay double, and Gu Shijia is the first one."
Qin: "You..."
There was a look of confusion in Old Master Gu's eyes. When did the timid Chang'an become so bold and eloquent?
Except for not seeing her for the past few days, that was a while ago when I discovered the affair between the Fourth Prince and Shijia in her boudoir.
At that time, the old man felt that Chang'an was different, but he couldn't tell what was different. Anyway, he was smart and didn't let others say anything.
She was as smart today as she was that day, and she even knew how to resist. She knew that Shijia had been causing trouble for her for so many years, but as a granddaughter, she just turned a blind eye. In the final analysis, it was because she didn't like Chang'an, and Chang'an had never said a word about being bullied by Shijia.
