C10 Seven Palms

"What do you mean, what do you want to do?" Gu An'an cried out in alarm and looked at Gu Xiaoxiao in horror, but only for a split-second before calming down.

"No, you don't have that kind of ability. You're a slut, and your mother is a slut as well. I don't believe that you two sluts can come up with anything else, slut …"

Gu An An An's words came to an abrupt halt, because Gu Xiaoxiao had already moved to Gu Ruoyun's side and slapped her a second time, a third, and a fourth time under Gu An An's panic-stricken and astonished gaze …

It was only on the seventh slap that Gu Xiaoxiao finally stopped. Gu An's face had already swelled up into a pig's head, a size larger than yesterday's face.

Gu An An An, I won't hit you, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you. From yesterday to just now, you and your mother scolded me and my mother seven times in total, so I'll give you seven slaps. If you dare to shout again in the future, then I'll hit you back ten times.

Gu Xiaoxiao moved quickly. No one in the room had the time to stop her. Gu An had originally brought a group of people to cause trouble, but now they had all turned into bystanders.

"You …"

Gu An An stretched out a trembling finger and pointed it at Gu Xiaoxiao, but was slapped in the face again.

"Don't talk about what you can't do, and don't do what you can't. Don't point your finger at me. If I find out what you and your mother are doing behind my back, it won't be as simple as just a slap!"

Gu Xiaoxiao sneered. Her gaze lingered on Gu An'an's face for a moment, then swept over the people Gu An had brought along. No one dared to speak.

"All of you, listen up. Right now, I am risking my life! "Those of you who have done wrong to me in the past, you'd better think about it carefully. Think about it for yourself. Don't let me find you when I remember. Otherwise …"

"You'd better not think that I'm short-lived either. At any rate, the empress let me back, meaning that you guys should think about it yourselves."

Immediately, the room was filled with people. They all breathed out in large mouthfuls, but no one made a sound.

Lil 'Lian ran in from outside. When she saw the scene, she was stunned and didn't dare to speak for a long time. It wasn't until Gu Xiao looked over that she remembered what she'd come here for.

"M-missy, someone came from outside, saying that the empress sent him to look for missy." Looking at the crowd in front of her, Xiao Lian swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva before speaking clearly.

"Got it." Gu Xiaoxiao acknowledged him and walked past Gu An An'an. Gu An'an didn't dare to stop her, and was so frightened that she took a step back. Only after Gu Xiaoxiao had left did she regain her senses.

Rubbing his swollen face, Gu An An's expression turned sinister as he thought back to how he'd been frightened by Gu Xiaoxiao. "Gu Xiaoxiao, you slut, I'll definitely not let you off!"

At the same time, in the main hall of the manor, the empress had either sent someone or her most trusted mama, Sun mama.

"Sun mama, please have some tea." Sun mama was the empress's wet nurse, not an ordinary mama. Mrs Zhang waited on the side, not daring to show the slightest neglect.

Although Sun mama was a wet nurse, she'd followed the empress ever since she was born, and had even followed her into the palace afterwards. She'd seen quite a few grand occasions. Most wives wouldn't be able to match up to her.

Senior Servant Sun took a sip of tea, placing the teacup down on the table. With a displeased expression, she asked, "Madam Zhang, has Eldest Miss still yet to come out?" "Your servant came under the Empress' orders to look for eldest miss on purpose."

Although Madam Zhang was an unmarried woman, in the eyes of the public, she was more like a concubine. Even if she was an unmarried woman, she couldn't afford to address her as Madam Hou. At most, she could only be referred to as Madam Zhang. Although Mrs Zhang was unwilling, she did not dare to show it.

"For mama, my lady has always been lazy, I'm afraid she hasn't woken up yet. If esteemed empress has any orders, it'll be the same as mine."

Originally, when Gu Xiaoxiao entered the palace yesterday, Lady Zhang had been hoping for her to die and not come back, but she hadn't expected her to come back in the dark at night. Now the empress had actually sent someone to look for her, so how could she possibly exist in front of the empress again?

Senior Servant Sun frowned, "Mrs. Zhang, the eldest young mistress was the direct descendant of Madam Hou. You're an equal wife, and even though you're her nominal mother, you're still lacking compared to Madam Hou in the end. You shouldn't speak of your direct daughter like this in the future."

Mrs. Zhang was at a loss for words. Her face was full of expression, but she still wanted to say something. Gu Xiaoxiao had already arrived.

"Sun mama is right. The matter of the house of the Marquis has made Sun mama laugh." In Mrs Zhao's absence, Gu Xiaoxiao had the highest position. When she saw Senior Servant Sun step forward to greet her, she ignored Mrs Zhang and acted as if she hadn't seen her at all.

"Momo, I've already started preparing the things that the empress wants, but I don't remember the details very well, so there are still some that haven't been completed. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to wait for a while, and you'll have to make me lose respect and move to the side courtyard."

"The side courtyard?" Sun mama frowned once more. She hadn't expected the Hou Mansion to be in such a state of chaos. The eldest young mistress was a direct descendant, yet she lived in a side yard. What kind of logic was this? It's completely incomprehensible. "

Sun mama shook her head. As the empress's wet nurse, the people she came into contact with were all from large families. She'd never seen someone so despicable.

Gu Xiaoxiao sneered in her heart. This was what she wanted.

Didn't Gu Shan want face? Then she would call this matter empress's wet nurse and see. If Gu Shan really wanted face, then she would properly worship him and his mother. If she didn't want face, Gu Xiaoxiao still had plenty of ways to take care of him!

"Please, mama."

Gu Xiaoxiao led the way, leading Sun mama to the side courtyard where the mother and daughter lived. They then locked the two inside the house, not allowing anyone to enter. Only after more than an hour did the door open.

When Mrs Zhao heard that the empress had sent someone to look for Gu Xiaoxiao, she was extremely worried. She hadn't even had breakfast before she stood guard by the door. The moment she saw the door open, she quickly walked in.

"Xiaoxiao, you didn't …"

Mrs Zhao had been waiting at the corner of the room. The two people who came out of the room didn't notice her. They stopped in their tracks before Mrs Zhao could approach them.

"Momo, if you want His Highness to recover, all the things I've written are still basic. Please tell the empress that she has to strictly follow what I've written, and if anything goes wrong, inform me immediately." "If I can achieve all of these, I would have only succeeded in half …"

At first, she was only worried about her daughter, but now, it seemed that she had heard some earth-shaking secret. Mrs Zhao tightly gripped the corner of her clothes, and her face was slightly pale.
