Chapter 38 The Eldest Brother is Also Reborn
"Whether she starves to death or not is none of my business. Besides, even if she does starve, it's her own fault. Don't worry about this, little sister. I'll definitely get justice for you."
Gu Shuyan was surprised that Gu Yingjie was so insistent. A warm feeling washed over her, but she still had to say against her will, "Although I have been chopping wood and working in the fields at the Li family all these years, my sister Yingxue has been taking care of my mother for so many years. Please, for the sake of my mother and me, don't send her away, okay?"
As Gu Shuyan spoke, she ran to Gu Yingjie in a coquettish manner, looking at him with teary eyes.
Faced with his own sister's expression, Gu Yingjie naturally couldn't refuse her. After thinking for a moment, Gu Yingjie softened his attitude and waved his hand, saying, "Take everything back!"
After saying that, Gu Yingjie walked towards Gu Yingxue and said, "Remember this: if it weren't for Shuyan pleading for you, I would never have let you stay today. If I find out you bullied her in the future, see how I deal with you."
Gu Yingxue's crying had stopped when Gu Shuyan arrived. Now, facing Gu Yingjie's warning gaze, Gu Yingxue felt even more hatred for the brother and sister.
"Yingxue will remember this."
Gu Yingxue lowered her head to hide the uncontrollable hatred and resentment in her eyes.
Gu Shuyan naturally knew how unwilling Gu Yingxue was at this moment, but so what? She had to ask for some interest for helping her stay!
"Mother, let the servants move things here. You're not feeling well, so my brother and I will take you back to rest first."
Watching the servants bustling about, Madam Ji nodded and let Gu Shuyan help her walk back.
After sending Ji Shi back to the main courtyard, Gu Shuyan asked Gu Yingjie, "Second Brother, why did you think of kicking Gu Yingxue out?"
"No reason why, I just feel indignant on your behalf."
Gu Yingjie answered, but his eyes darted away.
Gu Shuyan was well aware of Gu Yingjie's underhanded tactics. When she saw that he wasn't telling the truth, she immediately stared at him with a suspicious look.
Finally, feeling embarrassed by Gu Shuyan's stare, Gu Yingjie honestly said, "This morning, my elder brother and I went to the study to find Father. We ran into Gu Yingxue begging Father to save her maid. After we came out, my elder brother told me that Gu Yingxue is a menace and will definitely harm you in the future. I thought that you finally made it home, how could I, as your brother, let her harm you!"
"So you went to chase her away?"
Gu Shuyan was speechless at Gu Yingjie's thought process. He only thought about her and didn't even consider whether the elders at home could stand it.
However, Gu Renjie's words puzzled Gu Shuyan. How did her older brother know that Gu Yingxue would harm her? Could it be that he had also been reborn?
No, she had to ask Gu Renjie and find out what was going on.
Thinking of this, Gu Shuyan ignored Gu Yingjie, who looked embarrassed behind her, and ran to Gu Renjie's courtyard.
Gu Renjie's courtyard was not as big as her North Courtyard, but the scenery was much better. Just the fragrance of pear blossoms wafting through the courtyard was enough to make one feel refreshed and relaxed.
Not far away, Gu Renjie, dressed in a white robe, stood under a tree. His hair was casually tied up, which made him look more approachable. The wolf-hair brush in his hand was gliding quickly across the paper, making him look like a fairy in a painting from afar.
"Big brother!"
Faced with such a moving scene, Gu Shuyan did not regretfully speak up to ruin it.
Hearing Gu Shuyan's voice, which carried a hint of coquetry, Gu Renjie paused slightly, but ignored her.
