They arrived at the Gu family's residence while they were talking.
As one of the six major families in the ancient martial arts world, and a family with a profound heritage, the location of the Gu family's main residence is naturally excellent.
Moreover, it occupies a large area.
Looking at the antique-style house in front of him, which was four or five times the size of the Qin family manor in Ancheng, Qin Sheng remained silent for a moment.
Then she looked over at her father.
Without even saying a word, Qin Zheng was speechless.
Daughter, can't we be a little more subtle and give him, as his father, some face?
Qin Sheng then withdrew his gaze.
Now that they had arrived at the Gu family home, Gu Zhongyuan finally felt relieved after a day of worry, and he was much more confident when facing Qin Sheng.
He beckoned a servant over and said, "The eldest young lady has brought her husband and children back to visit the master. Have someone prepare the guest courtyard in the south. I'll take them to see the master and then we'll go over there."
The servant immediately agreed.
He turned to leave, but was stopped by Gu Beiyuan, who had a stern face: "Fifth Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Gu Zhongyuan's expression remained unchanged: "What...what do you mean?"
Gu Beiyuan trembled, his voice rising several decibels: "Xiao Ming has her own courtyard in the Gu family. Now you're having the south courtyard cleaned up and people moved in. What do you mean by this?!"
If it were the east or west, then it would be fine.
But it happens to be in the south.
You should know that the south side is where the servants of the Gu family live!
Gu Zhongyuan is completely humiliating Gu Yueming's family!
Although Gu Yueming hadn't been home for a long time, she still remembered this, and her face darkened: "No need to trouble yourself, just stay in my old courtyard. You don't need anyone to guide you; I know the way myself."
Gu Zhongyuan gave Gu Beiyuan a cold glance, then turned to face Gu Yueming, his expression softening slightly.
He explained, "Xiao Ming, you haven't been back for so many years, so you don't know, but someone has already moved into your courtyard, and has been living there for several years. You can't just kick them out as soon as you come back, can you?"
"Besides, you yourself said that you came back this time to see your father and won't stay long. Since it's only for a few days, let's not make a big fuss."
If she were the only one coming back, she would stay in the south side of the house; she wouldn't bother arguing with these people over such a small matter.
But she came back with her husband, daughter, and son, and she couldn't let them suffer this injustice with her!
Gu Yueming remained unmoved: "Someone has moved in. Who is it?"
“She is your third uncle’s granddaughter, named Changyi. She moved in when she was fifteen and able to stand on her own. It has been more than four years now.”
Gu Yueming looked at him and suddenly let out a cold laugh.
She didn't argue with him anymore, took her daughter's hand, turned around and walked out.
But they didn't go south, they went west.
Due west.
Gu Zhongyuan's expression changed, and he was about to step forward to stop him, but for some reason, every time he got close, an invisible force blocked him.
This prevented him from advancing.
Gu Zhongyuan's expression changed repeatedly. He knew that Qin Sheng was using tricks, but he had no other choice but to grit his teeth and run to the opposite east.
It's not the time to completely fall out with Gu Yueming's family yet, so for now, he can only seek help from his third brother.
*
Although she hadn't been back for over twenty years, the Gu family's layout remained almost unchanged, and Gu Yueming was still quite familiar with the place.
Therefore, even without anyone leading the way, she found her former residence with ease and, without pausing, kicked open the tightly closed courtyard gate.
The force was so great that it sent the door flying, landing right in front of Gu Changyi, who was having a meal under a plum tree in the yard.
Gu Changyi was stunned for a moment, then put down her chopsticks and slowly stood up.
Her gaze swept back and forth between Gu Yueming and Qin Sheng, and after a few seconds, she smiled: "Aunt Ming and Cousin Sheng?"
Gu Yueming was surprised that this girl was quite clever and guessed her identity in one go.
However, this did not soften his expression. Instead, he went straight to the point and asked, "Who gave you permission to live here?"
Gu Changyi had anticipated today's scene, and seeing this, she wasn't angry. She simply smiled and said, "Aunt Ming, would you mind letting me explain first?"
Gu Yueming: "You go ahead."
Gu Changyi first answered Gu Yueming's earlier question: "It was my grandfather and the clan elders who asked me to move in."
Then she continued, "In our generation, there aren't many children in the family. Logically, we should be provided with accommodations, but Aunt Ming should also know that the younger generation's accommodations are basically concentrated in the area of the martial arts training ground in the north."
“Originally, my yard should have been built in that area, but unfortunately, I am the only girl in my family this generation.”
“Grandpa and the clan elders felt that it was a bit inconvenient to put my courtyard in the boys’ area, and they also took pity on my weak health since I was a child, so they discussed and arranged for me to live in Aunt Ming’s old residence.”
“I initially refused, but I couldn’t resist the love and care of my elders, so after much consideration, I moved in.”
"However, as I said, once Aunt Ming or her daughter returns, I will definitely vacate this courtyard and return it to her."
The girl was exceptionally beautiful, with eyebrows like distant mountains, skin like solidified cream, and a face like a lotus blossom, exuding a gentle and serene aura.
Even her voice was soft and gentle, like a willow branch in spring, frail and delicate.
Coupled with the gentle smile at the corner of her lips, her serene and beautiful demeanor naturally evokes goodwill, which softens one's attitude.
Gu Changyi is very clear about her advantages and knows how to make good use of them.
No matter what happens, as long as she smiles gently, admits her mistake, and says a few soft words, the matter is basically over.
She thought it would be the same today.
However, when she looked up with a smile, she saw that the five people opposite her were just looking at her coldly, unmoved at all.
Gu Changyi's smile froze for a moment, then she smiled again: "Aunt Ming, why are you looking at me like that? Are you still angry?"
She glanced outside the courtyard, quickly looked away, and then bowed deeply in Gu Yueming's direction, saying apologetically, "It's all Yi'er's fault, Aunt Ming, please don't be angry. Don't get upset over such a small matter. If you're unhappy, I'll have someone pack up and move out right away."
That's what they said, but neither she nor her servants showed any intention of cleaning up.
Gu Changyi's personal maids even glared at them with resentment and grievance, as if they were the ones bullying Gu Changyi.
Qin Sheng gave the other person a cold look: "Need help?"
Gu Changyi was stunned for a moment: "Wh...what?"
Qin Sheng answered her with his actions.
