The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

Witnessing this scene, the people in the Marquis' Mansion suddenly realized that Gu Fanchu was willing to return as promised because he had obviously made foolproof preparations.

For a moment, the whole room was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.

"Ahem...alright, alright, stop messing around! How can we continue like this? If outsiders find out, where will the reputation of our mansion be?"

Old Madam Hou looked at the younger generations in the room with expressions of fear on their faces, frowned, and couldn't help but scolding them.

As she spoke, she cast her gaze on Gu Fanchu, who was standing in the middle of the room with a sneer on his face from beginning to end.

The woman had a graceful figure and a pretty face, but she exuded a chilling coldness.

After hearing what Old Madam Hou said, Gu Fanchu slowly raised his head and looked at the old lady who pretended to be calm with a look full of teasing and sarcasm, secretly despising her in his heart.

She knew very well that this old lady of the Marquisate was always the best at putting on airs and pretending to be important.

Just now, when those people tried to intimidate her and establish their authority in some way, she remained silent the entire time without saying a word.

However, at this moment, seeing that the situation was gradually developing in a direction favorable to him, the figure who had been hiding in the corner suddenly jumped out.

Gu Fanchu sneered inwardly at this situation, but on the surface he still appeared calm and unconcerned.

After all, the current situation is completely under her control. Since the Marquis' Mansion is so eager for her to return, if she doesn't leave some deep marks here, wouldn't it be a waste of all this trouble?

Then, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then said softly:

"That's right. If this matter gets out and other people in the capital know how rude and disrespectful the Marquis' Mansion is to its guests, I'm afraid the entire mansion will become a laughing stock."

These words seemed light, but they hit the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.

The old lady originally wanted to say something to refute, but after hearing this, the words on the tip of her tongue were choked back.

Her expression instantly darkened, and she glared fiercely at the helpless woman standing in the middle of the room.

Gu Fanchu looked indifferent, as if the emotional fluctuations of the people around her could not affect her at all.

She casually stretched out her hand and gently stroked the warm jade pendant hanging around her waist, as if this small jade pendant contained endless power that could allow her to maintain inner peace in this chaotic situation.

She raised her head slightly, glanced at everyone present, and said slowly in an almost ethereal tone with a slight smile on her lips:

"Well, now that we've all met, I'm a little tired. I'd like to ask Madam Hou to lead the way and take me to rest for a while."

After saying this, she looked with a slightly provocative look at the family who were shaking with anger but dared not utter a word of complaint, and a sense of pleasure welled up in her heart.

Gu Fanchu was in an exceptionally good mood at this moment. She thought to herself:

It seems that relying solely on gentleness and tolerance is far from enough to deal with these evil people. More ruthless means must be used to subdue them.

If you blindly try to please others, you will only end up wasting your energy and emotions. Thinking of this, her eyes became more determined.

Gu, who was standing aside, had a terribly gloomy expression on her face. She opened her mouth, obviously wanting to argue a few more words, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a sharp gaze directed at her.

Following his gaze, he saw a maid holding a long sword standing quietly beside Gu Fanchu. Her cold eyes were like a gleam of ice, intimidating.

Gu's heart tightened, and the words that were about to come out of her mouth were swallowed back.

At this moment, the old lady and Meng Qingwen also had ashen faces. They gritted their teeth and tried to suppress the anger in their hearts. However, facing such a strong Gu Fanchu and the majestic maid beside him, they were unable to utter a word.

After a long silence, Gu took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then ordered in a slightly trembling voice:

"Of course... Bi'er, you... quickly take the princess to Qinghe Garden."

At this moment, she was thinking to herself that she was unwilling to get close to Gu Fanchu no matter what.

It was because she knew very well that the sword held in the hand of the maid next to Gu Fanchu was not just a decoration.

The sword body that was shining with cold light seemed to be emitting a chilling aura all the time, making people shudder.

At this moment, Gu began to feel a hint of regret deep in his heart.

She couldn't help but begin to doubt whether her decision to bring Gu Fanchu back home was correct.

After all, the current situation really made her feel a little unexpected and out of control.

The little maid who was called out was originally standing behind Gu and serving carefully. She was glad that she did not follow the others to capture Gu Fanchu, otherwise, she would be the one lying on the ground.

But the next second, he heard the lady call his name.

In an instant, she was frightened to the point of turning pale and trembling slightly, but she did not dare to disobey and walked in front of the flamboyant woman, saying in a trembling voice:

"Princess...Princess, please come this way."

Gu Fanchu left peacefully amidst the hateful and fearful gazes of the Meng family.

Liuli and Amber put away their swords, chose to ignore the people in the house, and followed Gu Fanchu out of the house.

After the people slowly walked out of the yard, the people in the house finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to whisper to each other.

One of them couldn't help but speak first:

"What the hell is going on here? Look at how arrogant and domineering she is. She's completely lawless! It seems to me that she doesn't even take us elders seriously!"

Yun was covering her face at the moment. Her cheeks were swollen and two bright red palm prints were clearly visible on them.

She was filled with resentment and unwillingness, yet she was also afraid of the shining sword in the maid's hand.

After all, the sword looked cold and sharp, as if it could take someone's life with just a slight swing.

Madam Meng, who was sitting in the first seat, was so angry that her face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot.

She was furious, her eyes wide open, slapping the exquisite pearwood table beside her while shouting at Gu:

"Look carefully at this, this is your good daughter! How could she be so disobedient, unfilial, and even treasonous! Humph, if I had known it would be like this, why would I have gone to so much trouble to call her back? She's really asking for trouble!"

Gu stood aside with her head lowered, feeling both aggrieved and helpless.

If it weren't for the intention of having her come back to replace her marriage, things might not have developed to the current unmanageable situation.

Thinking of this, Gu opened her mouth and wanted to say something in defense, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

It was Meng Qingwen who stopped the old lady from continuing to attack, with a fierce look in his eyes:

"Since force isn't working, then think of other ways. She's already in my mansion, and I don't believe she's always got those maids with her!"

She would eventually have to use things from the mansion, and then give the people in the yard some muscle softening powder or something like that, and then they would be at her mercy.
