Chapter 168: Cannibalistic Feudal Society
A trace of contempt flashed in the servant's eyes, "Miss, please don't make things difficult for me. This is the master's order."
"Then go and tell the master that if he won't let me in through the main gate, I'll go and have a proper talk with the prince and His Majesty."
The servant looked embarrassed, but he didn't take Gu Ji's harsh words to heart. "Oh, Miss, please stop joking. It's true that you saved the prince before, but the prince and His Majesty have already given their grace. If you continue to act so arrogantly, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the prince and His Majesty?"
Although Gu Ji is a modern person, she also knows that in ancient times, the class division between servants and masters should be very obvious.
Judging from the servant's clothes, they should be of the lowest quality. He is not even a personal maid or guard of the master, but he dares to treat her like this. I can't imagine what the attitude of the whole family towards her is.
Gu Ji walked directly to the front door and said without further ado: "Open the door."
"Miss, I—"
"You still know that I'm the eldest lady? I'm the eldest lady, the master, who are you? If it's really my father's order, let him tell me in person!"
Gu Ji raised his voice: "I want to see if my father is really like you said, letting his daughter go through the side door and not even letting her in the main door. What am I, a bastard?!"
The servant was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, looking like he was about to cry.
Gu Ji lowered his eyes and said, "Open the door."
"Miss...Miss..."
"Forget it, you are just a servant, I won't make things difficult for you."
The servant breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I'll remember you. You said I was being too arrogant. You're just a lowly servant. Even if it was truly my father's order, you clearly have a better solution, yet you insist on being so dismissive. I know what you're thinking: A scourge who nearly killed his own mother, relying on the fact that he saved the prince, really thinks he's become a phoenix? What are you pretending for?
Yeah, that’s what you think, right?”
She looked at the servants, then turned back to look at the maid and groom who followed them.
They had learned their lesson and were even trembling a little.
Gu Ji chuckled lightly and looked at the heavy wooden door. Although the door was locked, her cultivation was not suppressed and she could still open it easily.
But she didn't want to open it easily.
She clearly heard footsteps inside the door.
There's more than one.
Gu Ji stood still, took a deep breath, raised his foot, and kicked hard!!!
Following a loud noise, a cry of "ouch" came from inside the door.
A figure was thrown away by the door that was suddenly kicked open. Upon closer inspection, she saw that the man was wearing luxurious casual clothes and was not very old, about the same age as her. He was Miss Li's younger brother.
A beautiful woman inside the door was shocked: "Long photo!"
The beautiful woman hurried over and helped Li Changzhao up. Blood was all over the floor, some on his head and some in his nose.
There was also a beautiful girl jogging, her face full of worry and looking weak.
The beautiful woman turned around, glared at her, and said in a trembling voice, "You jinx!"
"Then I was also born by you. I am a jinx, what are you? The mother of jinxes, mother, aren't you even more of a jinx?"
"You! You! You are so outrageous!!!"
The beauty beside Madam Li said softly, "Cousin, you hurt your cousin right after you came home, and you made your aunt so angry. When your uncle comes home, he will blame you. You should apologize properly."
Gu Ji: "Who are you?"
Beautiful woman: "Watch your attitude! This is your cousin Qin Xiangjun! She has been fulfilling her filial duty in front of me on your behalf all these years, unlike you——"
"Wait." Gu Ji interrupted her: "Didn't you send me to the farm? I wanted to come back, but you wouldn't let me. You took in a child who wasn't your own, and then blamed me for not being filial to you?"
She pointed to her head and said, "Are you..."
"Li Ruyan!"
Oh, so Miss Li’s name is Li Ruyan.
Like smoke, like smoke, like an illusion, it will disappear with a blow.
It's a random name indeed.
Gu Ji hummed twice. "Your heavy bleeding wasn't because I was your unlucky factor. You were too young when you gave birth to me, and you were frightened, so you had heavy bleeding. It was because Lord Li took a concubine when you were pregnant, and you were so angry that you gave birth prematurely. It has nothing to do with me. It was the Li Mansion and your husband who were your unlucky factor. What does it have to do with me?"
Mrs. Li was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
The only son who could help her curse was almost fainting.
Qin Xiangjun next to her looked like she wanted to say something, but Gu Ji kept looking at her and saw through her disguise. The ambition in her eyes was too obvious to see through.
Qin Xiangjun didn't dare to say a word, his lips turned pale.
Gu Ji snorted, "His Majesty's decree is that I live in Bamboo Garden. Where is Bamboo Garden? Take me there."
The servant next to him didn't dare to breathe and subconsciously glanced at Madam Li.
"You've been away from home for so many years. Your yard is uninhabited, so I gave it to your cousin to live in. Your cousin is gentle and quiet, and she's not in good health. Bamboo Garden is close to me, and she's been living there for so many years that she's already used to it. You should go to Snow Garden."
"Where is Xueyuan?" Gu Ji turned sideways and asked the servant who was shaking like a sieve beside him.
The servant trembled and pointed in a direction, "Over there."
"Oh, the side courtyard? No, I won't go there." Gu Ji asked again, "Where is the Bamboo Garden?"
The servant trembled again and pointed in another direction, "Here."
Gu Ji walked over with a swagger. Mrs. Li didn't care about her son and ran over to grab the hem of her clothes and pulled them back.
It didn't move.
Pull again.
No response.
Pull again!
Gu Ji raised his hand, and Mrs. Li staggered forward two steps, almost hitting her forehead on the steps.
She raised her foot and hooked Madam Li's skirt, pulling her back. "Madam, you walk so unsteadily. You don't have the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family at all. You don't know the rules. I am the county lord appointed by His Majesty, and this Bamboo Garden should be mine. The Li family was originally just an ordinary fourth-rank official in the court. It was me who made my father respected again. I advise you to understand this clearly."
Turning around, Qin Xiangjun bit her lower lip, her eyes full of jealousy.
"Miss Qin, you don't have to look at me like that. You've occupied my position for so many years, but that doesn't mean it's truly yours. Even if you stay here until you die, you'll still be just my cousin. Don't mess with me. I was thrown into the village and bullied and beaten since I was little. I crawled out of a pile of corpses. I'll chop off the head of anyone who stands in my way and feed it to the dogs."
Her momentum was like the steps under her feet, step by step, until she stood on the highest step. She turned sideways and looked at the three people, as if she knew why that group of people were trapped in Li's Mansion.
Li Ruyan allows everyone who enters here to become herself.
Only those who can successfully escape from the difficult situation can leave.
If you can't escape, you can't leave.
The situation seems simple, but in fact there are undercurrents.
Unless there is the ability to fight against this cannibalistic feudal society.
fine.
She does.
