Instantly, the earth shook, and dust flew everywhere.
Everyone was buried in dust.
Gu Wei'ang and Chu Qianlan immediately covered their mouths and noses, waiting for the dust to settle.
"Cough cough cough..."
Gu Wei'ang coughed violently.
When he was finally able to open his eyes, he saw the smoke and dust in front of him slowly settling down, and his vision gradually became clearer.
From the direction of the gate, a slender woman slowly appeared.
Her face was stunningly beautiful, with a smile on her lips, yet it sent chills down one's spine for no apparent reason.
She stood quietly at the door, watching Gu Wei'ang slowly walk in.
Although it was already dark, it was not yet time to go to sleep.
Hearing the earth-shaking noise, everyone rushed out.
But when they saw the gate of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion collapse with a crash, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Despite this, they did not give up their desire to watch the spectacle.
Instead, they all crowded around the doorway, watching with amusement as Gu Jingchun walked in.
"Father, Mother, you've come at just the right time."
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly and slowly spoke:
"I heard that your daughter's marriage has been thwarted, affecting the reputation of your Marquis's family. You've removed her from the family genealogy and are planning to send her to a manor outside the city to recuperate."
Therefore, they withheld their daughter's dowry and the Luo family's betrothal gifts, and even kicked their daughter's son out. Is that really true?
Chu Qianlan panicked upon hearing this.
These words are absolutely true.
However, powerful families often have specific excuses to protect the reputation of their noble household.
However, now that Gu Jingchun had said it out loud, she immediately felt embarrassed.
"You little brat, you've really gone too far! You actually dared to break down the door. Don't you know your current situation? You might have been able to save your life before, but now, it's probably not going to be."
After Chu Qianlan finished speaking, she saw that Gu Wei'ang's face had turned completely cold.
He didn't care about these trivial matters.
He was naturally aware of Chu Qianlan's suggestion.
In the past, he might have tried to stop her, after all, the man she was going to marry was Luo Ziqian, and the Luo family would be of great benefit to their Yong'an Marquis's mansion.
However, postponing the wedding now means canceling it.
Gu Jingchun was no longer of any use to the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, and Gu Wei'ang naturally didn't care about her life or death, leaving it to Chu Qianlan to deal with.
But he never expected that Gu Jingchun would have such audacity and ability to push down the gate, causing the Marquis's mansion to lose face and become a laughing stock.
This enraged him, and without thinking, he immediately shouted back.
"Someone come here!"
"Take this lawless wicked girl down for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of guards came out, ready to surround Gu Jingchun.
At that moment, dozens of guards immediately appeared behind Gu Jingchun.
The number is twice that of Gu Wei'ang's manpower.
They were tall, and even through their clothes, you could see their well-developed muscles and definition.
It is clear that their skills are far superior to those of the guards in the Yong'an Marquis's residence.
In an instant, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at each other.
Gu Wei'ang's men were vaguely afraid and didn't dare to take a step forward.
Gu Jingchun stood in front of these people, a smile on his lips, and slowly spoke.
"You guys are really cold-blooded and heartless!"
"My marriage has only just been postponed, and you're already thinking of killing me."
However, you seem to have forgotten that I, Gu Jingchun, am not someone you can easily mess with.
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he slowly took a step forward.
Her eyes were filled with an imposing aura, which even startled Gu Wei'ang for a moment.
What do you want to do?
Gu Wei'ang's tone carried a hint of wariness.
Gu Jingchun stepped forward again.
"I didn't intend to do anything. I just wanted to get my things back, but I couldn't get in, so I had no choice but to resort to this."
She added a sentence, offering a rather considerate "comforting" remark.
"You don't need to be nervous. I'm not here today to start a massacre."
"After all, the Marquis's mansion is on the verge of decline and doesn't have many days left. I'm afraid of dirtying my hands."
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he glanced at Lan Xin beside him.
Upon seeing this, Lanxin immediately led her people to move the things one by one.
Gu Wei'ang naturally wouldn't allow it, and immediately had his men block her path.
However, he was quickly defeated by the people behind Lan Xin.
The action was swift and decisive, leaving the opponent no chance to retaliate.
Gu Wei'ang, a military man by training, couldn't help but praise the nimble movements.
Since he was a military man, he couldn't allow Gu Jingchun to rush in and steal things so easily.
Gu Jingchun was filled with pent-up anger, and was naturally furious. He immediately ordered the people behind him to stop Gu Wei'ang.
The people behind Gu Wei'ang naturally wouldn't allow it.
In an instant, the two sides started fighting.
The scene was tense, and the battle was fierce.
Soon, all of Gu Wei'ang's men collapsed to the ground.
Gu Jingchun's men rushed in and headed straight for the warehouse.
This action infuriated Gu Wei'ang, who tried to stop him but couldn't.
More importantly, he now has a sword across his neck.
Gu Jingchun held the sword hilt, his gaze sharp, exuding an aura that if he made a move, blood would splatter on the spot.
No matter how bold Gu Wei'ang was, he didn't dare to move an inch at this moment.
Seeing this, Chu Qianlan, who was standing beside her, trembled with fear, as if she had returned to the day when Gu Jingchun choked her and she dared not breathe.
The fear made her voice tremble as she spoke.
"Gu... Jingchun, you... how dare you! He is your... father, the Marquis of Yong'an! You... how dare you point a sword at your father! You are utterly unfilial!"
Unfilial?
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly.
"That depends on whether you're worthy!"
Two people who don't even deserve to be fathers and mothers actually expect her to be filial.
That's utterly delusional!
Soon, Lan Xin had brought out all the betrothal gifts and dowry that Chu Qianlan had withheld.
“These things are all mine. It’s impossible for the Marquis of Yong’an’s mansion to take them for themselves.”
"Even if I want to annul the engagement, I will return all the betrothal gifts, so you won't need to do it for me."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, Lan Xin ordered people to slowly pull out countless large boxes.
The sheer number of them caused everyone present to gasp in astonishment.
Chu Qianlan never expected that Gu Jingchun had so many things.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she watched box after box of things being hauled away.
But at this crucial moment, Gu Wei'ang was still in Gu Jingchun's hands.
She couldn't make any movement at all.
Seeing that the goods had been transported out, Gu Jingchun sheathed his sword and took a step back.
Gu Wei'ang finally managed to make a move, gritting his teeth in hatred.
