The wife of two taels of silver

The further they walked, the more Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan felt frightened.

Born and raised in the small village of Shang'anhe, they didn't have much experience, not to mention that they were always bullied in Shang'anhe Village. Later, Lin Haitang changed and became a qualified mother, but this happened in just a month. The two siblings didn't have much experience, and their good days were shattered by a horse after a few days. Their mother was seriously ill and had to entrust them to Uncle Liu. Even though they lived in the Liu family, they didn't leave their own small courtyard. Now on the way to the lady's courtyard, Gu Mo's uneasiness and fear became more and more serious.

When had they ever seen such an exquisite and grand mansion?

Even though they were young, they knew that people were divided into different classes. They had never heard of this kind of "noble person", let alone seen it. Faced with a powerful person beyond their imagination, with no one to rely on, Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan felt only an overwhelming sense of inferiority and cowardice, as if they were a piece of clay, incompatible with the beautiful things around them, and unmatched with the children of wealthy families like Liu Qinghe.

The further he walked, the more aggrieved Liu Qinghe felt. He walked faster and faster, and when he reached the yard, he was already running, his voice filled with great grievance: "Mom!"

"He'er?" Wan Yi was reading a book, engrossed in it, when he heard the crying voice of his beloved son. He frowned and wanted to get up to see him, but before he could get up, Liu Qinghe threw himself into his arms.

"Why are you crying? Come to mother quickly." Wan Yi gently supported Liu Qinghe's shoulders, worry on her face: "Why are you crying so pitifully?"

Outside the door, Taoli, Xiahe, Chunhua and Qiuyue were already kneeling at the door trembling with fear. The Gu brothers and sisters also stopped and stood outside the door, looking at the elegant and extremely beautiful Wanyi.

When I looked clearly at Liu Qinghe's tearful little face, I found that his usually soft and handsome face now had a red bump on his forehead and two red marks on his chin.

Her son, Wan Yi, had always been the most beloved and doted on. When had he ever suffered such a hardship? Seeing the wound on her son's face, Wan Yi's tears immediately fell like beads from a broken string.

However, it was not over yet. Before she could ask clearly, Liu Qinghe raised his right hand and pulled open her clothes, revealing her wrist. There was a circle of obvious teeth marks on her wrist, which was red and swollen. The place where she was bitten hard was even a little black and purple.

"Who was it?" Wan Yi held her son's wrist, not daring to even touch it, for fear of scaring him. She asked cautiously, "Who bullied you? Tell me!"

Liu Qinghe acted very aggrieved, not saying a word but just crying. When he cried, he looked very much like his mother. His tears fell to the ground like pearls, breaking into eight petals at once. While crying, he turned his head and pointed at Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan outside the door.

Wan Yi followed Liu Qinghe's finger and saw the Gu brother and sister cuddling each other outside the door.

The small pair of people were not much taller than the maids kneeling on the ground.

She turned her head away and wiped her face with her soft hands, wiping away the tears. When she turned her head back, only her red eyes were left. She stood up, and her long skirt swept across the plum petals on the carpet that were blown in by the wind. The small petals were crushed by the heavy skirt in an instant.

"Tao Li, Xia He, you are so brave!" Wan Yi just glanced at Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan and stopped looking at them. He looked at Tao and Xia with a fierce look.

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Taoli and Xiahe bent down in shock and banged their foreheads on the ground, unable to get up, but Chun and Qiu did the same. The other servants lowered their heads, looked at their noses and their hearts, hunched their shoulders, and the surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Madam!" Tao and Xia exclaimed with trembling voices, "Please allow me to explain a few things."

Tao and Xia kowtowed heavily again, and their foreheads were bleeding.

"Speak." Wan Yi said, gently protecting the head of her son who was hugging her waist with both hands.

"Madam, the young master was going to play with Master Gu and Miss Gu today. They were having a great time, but Master Gu wanted to play on the swings and the young master hadn't had enough, so he refused to let him. Unexpectedly, Master Gu got angry and pushed the young master to the ground. The young masters couldn't stand it, so they started fighting." Tao Li quickly recounted what had happened. "Madam, I deserve to die for not keeping an eye on the young master and causing him to get hurt. Please punish me, Madam!"

"Please punish me, madam!" Xia He echoed.

Wan Yi remained calm and asked Chunhua and Qiuyue, "Are you serving the two from the Gu family?"

"Yes." Chunhua and Qiuyue nodded in agreement.

"Where were you two when the young master was beaten?" Wan Yi asked.

Chunhua was so frightened that she couldn't even speak a word in reply and stumbled over it: "Husband...Madam, your servant...your servant...is...here..." The more she spoke, the more her body shook. In the end, she simply couldn't speak and could only kowtow madly.

"Madam, Young Master Gu and Young Miss Gu have always been spoiled. Today, Young Miss Gu insisted on having chestnut cakes made fresh by me. Chunhua was washing their clothes, so I didn't follow them for once." Qiuyue took over and apologized, "Young Master Gu and Young Miss Gu committed a serious offense today. Please punish them, Madam."

Chunhua was not completely foolish after all, and followed up with, "Please punish me, Madam."

Gu Zhilan was angry and aggrieved. She stood there stamping her feet, holding her brother's hand, crying, "Brother, they lied! They lied!"

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan really didn't dare look Wan Yi in the eye, but even a child would cry out in injustice: "No! Madam, that's not true! They're lying!"

"It was Brother He. It was Brother He who pushed Lan'er to the ground. My brother pushed Brother He down. Madam, look, my forehead is bleeding. It was Brother He who pushed me!" Gu Zhilan said crying.

Gu Mo was also scared and aggrieved. He said, "Madam, it was Brother Qinghe who hurt my sister first, so I pushed him. It was Brother Qinghe who didn't let my sister play on the swing first, and then pushed my sister to the ground for no reason. What they said is not right."

The two little men looked at each other with hope, hoping that the beautiful lady could help them.

Wan Yi's eyes flashed with impatience and annoyance. She didn't answer the Gu siblings, but asked the four kneeling people, "These two said you were lying. Do you have anything to say?"

"Madam! We absolutely dare not lie!"

"Madam, I have no right to lie. How dare I lie in front of you?"

"Madam, you are wronged. I dare not lie!"

"Ma'am, don't have the guts to lie!"

The four people spoke together, their words were similar and had similar meanings.

Looking at his son's tearful face, Wan Yi's eyes flickered, and he finally looked at the Gu siblings. "Although you two were brought into the mansion by my eldest brother, the Liu Mansion has its own rules. Since you two are guests, each of you will receive fifty slaps on the palm of your hand."

The look he gave the Gu siblings was clearly that of a beast.
