Chapter 106 Punishment
Gu Shuyan looked at Luo Yuying with envy as she spoke.
"Miss Gu, don't be discouraged. Given time, you will definitely be more capable than me. If you don't mind, you can come to the Duke's Mansion to find me if you have any questions in the future."
Luo Yuying had no desire to feign politeness with Gu Shuyan. If it weren't for her mother's favor towards this person, she probably wouldn't have bothered with her at all.
Upon hearing her words, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but show a troubled expression.
"Although I would love for Miss Luo to teach me, my mother and I have already invited Sister Jing to be my tutor, so I'm afraid I can't come and ask Miss Luo for help."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuying looked at Ouyang Jing and smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright. With Miss Ouyang teaching Miss Gu, I'm at ease."
Don't be so pretentious! Don't act like we're such good friends. You won't even call me by name, yet you have to put on this act.
Gu Shuyan rolled her eyes inwardly, but maintained a gentle smile on her face.
"Shu'er, the banquet is about to begin, don't bother Miss Luo."
Madam Ji gave Gu Shuyan a reproachful look, as if she were reminding her ignorant daughter.
Actually, it was because of the relationship with the Duchess of Anguo that Ji Shi couldn't feel any goodwill towards this Miss Luo.
Luo Yuying smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, not expecting that the Lady of Yi'an Marquis would be so disrespectful to her.
"Madam, Miss Gu, Yu Ying will be heading back now."
As Luo Yuying spoke, she gave Gu Shuyan a gentle smile, but the smile vanished the moment she turned away.
The Marquis of Yi'an's Residence and Muyun Courtyard.
Gu Renjie sat at the table, listening quietly to the report from the person below him, his expression inscrutable.
After a long pause, he said, "Have someone spread this word, and remember not to forget that guard. As for Lu Youming, have someone keep an eye on his every move and report back immediately."
It's really annoying that someone had to leave halfway through a perfectly good show!
Gu Yingxue was escorted back to the Marquis's residence by her maid. The old lady, having received the message from Madam Ji, was already waiting outside the door.
As soon as the slightly haggard-looking Gu Yingxue got off the carriage, the old lady waved her hand, and two rough-looking maids immediately came forward and helped Gu Yingxue to her left and right as they walked into the mansion.
"What are you doing? Let go! I order you to let go!"
Gu Yingxue knew something was wrong as soon as she saw the old lady, but it was too late by the time she realized what was happening and tried to struggle.
"Drag him in and give him twenty strokes of the cane."
The old lady's tone was clearly unfriendly, and she looked at Gu Yingxue as if she were looking at some stinking dog excrement.
Previously, out of consideration for her son and daughter-in-law's feelings, she had been lenient with Gu Yingxue. Now that she had allowed her to do something so disgraceful to the family, she had no choice but to intervene.
Gu Yingxue was carried into the mansion by two old women. As the old lady raised her hand to close the gate of the mansion, the board also fell on Gu Yingxue.
"Ah, stop! How dare you hit me! Ah, I am the future Crown Prince's concubine! I will have His Highness kill you all... You old hag, you will regret this!"
Gu Yingxue screamed and threatened, but this tactic was completely ineffective in front of everyone.
Let alone a crown prince, even if she were to marry the emperor, the emperor wouldn't dare say anything if the Gu family punished her.
"Beat them! Beat them hard! What's wrong with killing those shameless bastards?"
No junior had ever dared to insult the old lady like that in all these years; she was indeed an ungrateful wretch.
