"Why are you only getting back now?"
"What time is it now? The food is getting cold. Do you expect the whole household to wait for you?"
After bowing to Gu Wei'ang and Chu Qianlan, Gu Jingchun explained, "I encountered a bit of an accident on the way."
Is that a reason?
"What unexpected event could make you disregard the rules of your home?"
"Do you think you're still in your impoverished rural village?"
"Now that you're here at the Marquis's residence, you must abide by the rules and correct those unsavory habits of yours."
Gu Jingchun could barely listen to Chu Qianlan's words at first, but later he couldn't help but snort coldly.
“I told you that I encountered an accident on the way, but you didn’t ask me what happened. Instead, you kept emphasizing the rules of your Marquis’s mansion.”
"You think I came back late and disturbed your meal?"
"But you didn't wait for me, and you seemed to be having a great time eating."
"If I were in the countryside, my family would worry about my safety if I didn't come back, and they would go out to look for me!"
Why would they sit here happily eating while criticizing me for coming home late!
"If that's the case, then the rules of your Yong'an Marquis's mansion are nothing special."
Gu Jingchun's words caused the faces of those present to turn red and white in turns.
Chu Qianlan, in particular, looked extremely pale.
"If you love the countryside so much, why did you come back?"
Gu Jingchun chuckled indifferently.
"Didn't you come to pick me up?"
Did you ask for my opinion before you brought me back?
After he said this, not only Chu Qianlan, but Gu Wei'ang's expression changed.
"Sister, how can you speak to Father and Mother like that?"
Gu Yunjin spoke slowly.
“Your father and mother were worried that you would suffer in the countryside, which is why they brought you back. Your words have made your father and mother feel disheartened.”
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes, sighed softly, and continued, her eyes slightly reddening:
"In the end, it's all my fault. I'm not in good health and can't eat cold food. My parents were worried about me, so they couldn't wait and started the meal early."
"If you're upset with me, blame me!"
Gu Jingchun sneered at Gu Yunjin's affected manner.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nansheng couldn't hold back any longer.
He slammed his chopsticks on the table and immediately stood up.
Do you even have the right to speak here?
"You dare to argue with your mother when she's speaking?"
"She's just a country bumpkin, she doesn't know the rules and has no shame! Otherwise, she wouldn't have found some random man and had a child with him, causing our Marquis's mansion to lose face."
Gu Nansheng gave Gu Jingchun a disgusted look.
"In my opinion, we shouldn't have brought her back. We would still be a happy family if she hadn't come back."
"Look at what's happened now because of her!"
This is not home.
The younger sister is not a younger sister.
Yun Jin has been sick for so long because of her, and she still looks so aggrieved. It's ridiculous.
After Gu Nansheng finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
Everyone tacitly agreed with his words and looked at Gu Jingchun indifferently.
It was as if all of this was caused by Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun gave a cold laugh.
Even though she had lived through a lifetime and thought she wouldn't care anymore, she still felt a pang of sadness upon hearing these words.
Thinking back to this time in her previous life, she would have been trembling with fear at the thought of returning here.
They will hold a grudge if they say or do something wrong.
She never expected that this family had never welcomed her from the very beginning.
She was just a tool from the very beginning.
Since that's the case, don't blame her for being ruthless, since she's just a tool.
"You brought me back so that I could marry the Third Prince in her place, wouldn't you?"
Gu Jingchun directly tore away this fig leaf.
"What? Now that you've found out I have a child and can't get married, you think I'm in your way?"
Even you guys are faster than killing a donkey after it's done its work!
"If that's the case, then don't presumptuously talk to me about rules."
"As for rules! Who in your Marquis's mansion has any rules?"
As Gu Jingchun spoke, he looked in the direction of Gu Nansheng.
"If there were any rules, Gu Nansheng and Gu Yunjin should not be allowed to sit together right now!"
Gu Nansheng snorted coldly.
"What, are you envious now that I favor Yun Jin?"
Look at yourself! Do you even deserve my affection?
As she spoke, she gripped Gu Yunjin's hand tightly.
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly.
"Is that so!"
"Gu Nansheng, don't forget, you two are no longer blood siblings!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nansheng was startled and subconsciously released her grip on Yun Jin's hand.
Gu Jingchun smiled and continued unhurriedly:
"Why are you letting go? You might as well hold on tighter, so that the news of the incestuous relationship between the Marquis's siblings can be spread."
"When your family's reputation is completely ruined, don't blame me!"
"What nonsense are you spouting! Don't even think about ruining Gu Yunjin's reputation!"
Gu Nansheng was furious!
"I'm talking nonsense?"
Gu Jingchun snorted coldly.
"I'm not the only one saying this, and I'm not the only one with eyes; all the servants in the Marquis's mansion have eyes too."
Instead of wasting your time talking about me, you should quickly check if such rumors have already spread.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, staring at the two in shock.
Gu Nansheng's face turned pale and then red.
Gu Yunjin shook her head, her face pale and her eyes red.
