"Grandfather, Gu Qianyue actually refused to admit that she had committed murder and had an affair with a man outside her home. She also threatened us to sue if we had evidence." Gu Qian stepped forward to complain.

When my grandfather heard this, he just stroked his gray beard, sat in the main seat and said nothing.

The daughters-in-law also lowered their heads and remained silent. There was silence all around. Only Gu Qianyue was looking at Gu Meng's sleeves leisurely. She really wanted to know what that thing was that could control people through the air.

If I ask Gu Meng, she definitely won’t tell me given our current relationship, so I can just dress up as a ghost and scare her at night.

At this time, the mother bowed and said, "Father, my daughter-in-law has already invited a maid from the palace. She will definitely make Yue'er learn the rules well from now on."

Gu Qianyue turned around and looked at the eldest lady and said, "Why should I learn the rules? Besides, doesn't the old man know the truth?"

"Shut up, he's your grandfather, you're being disrespectful." Lan waved her hand and slapped Gu Qianyue, hoping to put an end to the farce.

"Mother!" Gu Yunshen pulled his sister behind him and took the slap.

When Gu Qianyue saw her making a move, she could have dodged it, and she didn’t understand why Gu Yunshen had to take the slap.

Then he looked past their eyes and fixedly looked at his grandfather and said, "Old man, you knew the truth but still wronged me and threw me into the manor for three years. I don't need you to clarify anything, just apologize to me."

The grandfather found this daring granddaughter strange. After all, the younger generation would stay away from him when they saw him.

But how could I, an old man who has been respected all my life, bow my head and apologize to a junior, especially a bold girl?

Grandfather just snorted and said, "Tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, you all go back and prepare. Don't embarrass our Gu family."

Everyone bowed and left.

Only Gu Qianyue stood straight and said, "Old man, you don't accept it? Then let's have a fight. If I win, you have to apologize to me."

Gu Yunshen directly pulled his sister away, leaving a message: "Grandfather, I will bring my sister to apologize some other day."

"Sir, you don't know how unruly that girl is. Otherwise, don't let the second girl go tomorrow to avoid offending the noble." The grandmother's words seemed to be doting and for Gu Qianyue's good, but in fact she wanted to block her chance to enter the palace.

How could the grandfather not know her purpose? He just glanced at her calmly and said, "I am not blind. How could I not know what you did behind my back?"

The grandmother was a little panicked. Normally, the officials would not care no matter what happened, but she did not expect that the second girl would change after she came back. She was indeed a disaster star.

Then she stepped forward and grabbed Grandfather's sleeve and said, "Sir, I am Min'er's mother, how could I harm him?"

"You are just a second wife." After saying this, the grandfather left with his guards, not wanting to waste any more words with her.

After hearing this, the grandmother just felt that she was a joke and didn't think about it!

The husband hasn't let her go after all these years, so what have all these years meant to me? What have I meant to you?

Grandma held Nanny Chun's hand and spoke her heart out, but no one could give her an answer.

Gu Qianyue looked at the hand that was being held, raised her eyebrows and said, "You can let go now." Then she was about to leave and return to the yard but was stopped.

"Yue'er, come with me to apologize to our mother." Gu Yunshen felt a headache when he saw his sister like this.

Gu Qianyue also wanted to see what they were playing, so she followed them.

As soon as Gu Qianyue arrived at her mother's yard, the nanny handed her a whip.

Lan took the whip and hit Gu Qianyue without saying a word.

Gu Yunshen took the whip with his bare hands and said, "Mother, what did my sister do to make you so angry?" Gu Li, who had been silent and invisible when paying her respects, also pulled her mother's hand.

Durian also stopped Gu Qianyue. He didn't expect that the lady would beat and punish the young lady for no reason. How was this different from the second aunt when they were children?

"Madam, have I done anything wrong?" Gu Qianyue just looked at her steadily, without any emotion.

Gu Yunshen suggested that his sister leave first while he went to explain to his mother.

But Gu Qianyue didn't want to be entangled in these things and decided to talk it out.

"Erya, Lai Fu, Madam Rong, did you kill them?" Lan looked at her confused look and her anger reached its peak in an instant.

Gu Qianyue was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"I am your biological daughter. Didn't you check the truth of the facts and convict her based on a few words from others?"

Then he looked at Gu Yunshen and said, "Don't you have evidence? Why are you hiding it and not willing to make it public? Have you already sided with the prince?"

Gu Yunshen didn't expect that she actually knew what happened in the court, and he received this evidence on the third day after he and his father returned to the capital.

At that time, he felt that his sister was bullied and wanted to retaliate and deal with Gu Meng, but his grandfather did not allow it. Yue'er must not be involved when the situation was uncertain.

As the marriage between the Crown Prince and Gu Meng had just been granted, grandfather didn't want Yue'er to come back even more, so he delayed it for a whole year. Finally, he couldn't persuade his mother enough and took her back.

"Mother, I'll leave this to my brother. I'll take you back to your room to change the dressing first."

Knowing that her son would always protect Gu Qianyue, Mrs. Lan didn't bother to care about it. She really didn't want her son to worry about household chores, so she followed Gu Li's words and went back to her room.

After watching his mother leave, Gu Yunshen frowned and said, "Yue'er, the court is in turmoil now, so the time is not right yet."

Hearing Gu Yunshen's words, she felt sick. The time has not come yet. What a good time it is. She obviously doesn't want to give up her future, but she can't do it. It's true that you will never feel the pain unless the whip hits you.

"Does this mean that the prince will definitely become the emperor? Or will you fight against the entire royal family for me?"

Gu Yunshen's face changed, "Sister, don't say this nonsense."

Gu Qianyue didn't say anything else. She bowed with both hands and left with the durian.

"Master, Madam is going too far." Durian was a little indignant.

Gu Qianyue admired the flowers and plants along the way and said nonchalantly, "Didn't you know this a long time ago? You can give up now."

Liu Yue looked at Durian's lost look and didn't know how to comfort him, so he changed the subject and asked, "Master, why do you want to compete with the old master?"

Gu Qianyue was very happy looking at the osmanthus flowers blooming all over the garden. When the wind blew over, it brought with it a rich fragrance. She opened her arms and took a deep breath.

Then he said in a brisk voice: "Because he has a good sword in his hand."

"Qianqian, I just checked that this flower can be used to make wine." Although Xiaolan couldn't smell it, it was happy to see Qianqian happy.

What a good idea! He turned to Liu Yue and Durian and said, "Pick all the osmanthus flowers in the garden and we'll take them back to make wine and cakes. Don't waste them."

"Yes." Liu Yue did what he said and pulled Durian to find a basket to put the osmanthus flowers in. He didn't even know when Gu Qianyue left.

"This girl is so greedy!" Grandfather watched this scene in the attic.

Steward Lin didn't dare to say anything and just waited respectfully.

He grew up with the old grandfather, so he naturally knew how much he loved his granddaughter, and this granddaughter looked the most like the late lady.

"Go and send all the osmanthus flowers in the mansion to Guixiang Pavilion." The old man ordered.

When Steward Lin was about to step out of the door, the old master said, "Send the neon skirt that the late Madam originally made for her daughter to Guixiang Pavilion."

Butler Lin knew that the old man doted on the second young lady, but he didn't expect that he doted on her to this extent. The neon skirt was made stitch by stitch by the late madam, and it is the only one of its kind in the world.

"Old Master, isn't this too early?" Steward Lin advised. Didn't the old master not want the second young lady to stand out?

"Even if I want to stop her, that girl won't be content. Just let her be and let her be happy." Grandfather said with emotion, stroking his beard.
