Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyuan frowned and said, "Alright, it's not that big of a deal. Zhu just came back and still doesn't understand the situation in the mansion. Didn't she change her name? Don't bring this up again. "

Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Yao and Gu Bitong looked at him in disbelief. They had never imagined that he would have such a reaction.

Usually, Gu Qingyuan's most pampered daughter was him. As long as Gu Bitong suffered even the slightest bit of grievance, he would fly into a rage. But now, he actually spoke up for that little hoof?

Mrs. Yao's face was filled with astonishment, but she felt even more unresigned. She couldn't help but say, "Master, it's not like you didn't see that girl, she …"

Before she could finish, she was impatiently interrupted by Gu Qingyuan, and her tone turned more serious, "Alright, I already said that you're not allowed to bring up this matter again. You're the boss's mother, you spread the news to make others say it for the sake of a little girl and her daughter!"

Mrs. Yao's scolding face changed. Usually, Gu Qingyuan was very considerate towards her, but when did he ever get scolded like this? He felt wronged and angry inside.

Gu Qingyuan didn't wait for her to speak, he looked at his daughter who was on the verge of tears and frowned, "Tong, Daddy knows that you have been wronged, but she's just a little girl. Why are you arguing with her? Moreover, your sister just came back, so the two sisters should have been very close to each other. That's why our house was so harmonious, and if word of this gets out for a girl's name, outsiders would only say that you are underestimating her, which would affect your reputation. "

Gu Bitong was nauseous to the point of vomiting. She had been pointing at her father, who had stood up for her, but who would have thought that she would run into such a terrible situation?

Father couldn't have been possessed by a ghost, right? Just by looking at that slut yesterday, she defended her?

She hated him to death, but she pretended to be gentle on the surface. With red eyes, she lowered her head and said, "Yes, father's teachings are correct. Daughter is wrong. In the future, I will definitely get along well with big sister."

Gu Qingyuan nodded.

He was already upset over the matter of the imperial court. When he got home, he still could not eat a peaceful meal, so he became even more impatient when he heard that there were two sisters fighting over a small matter.

Normally, he valued his second daughter the most, so it wouldn't be a big deal to vent his anger for her. But when he saw Gu Jinzhu yesterday and saw how she looked after, he naturally changed his mind.

Having a second daughter, who was known as the "Shengjing Pearl", in the Palace had already brought him many benefits. If he added another daughter with Gu Mansion as a pair, he would only benefit greatly if word of this spread.

He had his own plans, so naturally, he wouldn't neglect Gu Jinzhu. He thought for a moment, then warned Mrs. Yao, "Zhu just came back, so it's hard to avoid some inconvenience. As her mother, you have to take care of her, see what she needs, then send it to her early!"

Mrs. Yao was so angry that the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn, but Gu Qingyuan acted as if he didn't see her expression at all, he stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go ahead. You just have to take care of these small matters in the inner chamber. Just remember, don't cause any trouble for the mansion these days!"

Although his voice was gentle, there was a hint of warning in his voice. Mrs. Yao had no choice but to agree.

When Gu Qingyuan came out of Jinwu House, Mrs. Yao slapped her hand on the table, causing the jade bangle on her wrist to clank noisily.

"I'm so angry! Has your father gone senile? How dare he speak up for slut?!" Her face was livid with anger.

Gu Bitong frowned her delicate eyebrows. The teary expression from before had disappeared and was replaced with a gloomy expression.

She had not expected her father to have such a reaction. Thinking about how her father, who had always doted on her, had once again challenged her to be friendly with him, a trace of sternness flashed across her beautiful face.

He had just come back and wanted to get rid of her pampered. Don't even think about it!

She slowly tightened her fingers and exhaled. "Mother, there's still a long way to go."

"Where's the future?" Mrs. Yao gritted her teeth in anger. "This little hoof stepped on our heads as soon as she returned. We'll wait a few more days for her to regain her footing. Who knows what this mansion will be like!"

Gu Bitong returned to her previous expression and politely poured a cup of tea for her mother, personally serving it to her. "No matter what, I won't be able to escape from my mother's grasp. What does she count as? "Dad only gave her some face because he took a fancy to her. Who knows what will happen in the future."

She smiled sweetly as a pair of emerald green ears swayed by her ear, causing her face to look like bright pearls and beautiful jades. It was so beautiful that it could not be described with words.

However, Mrs. Yao's heart skipped a beat. "Face?"

She suddenly realized, "That's right! "Your father was indeed bewitched by her face. That slut is the same as her mother; she has a fox-like appearance."

She gritted her teeth as she said this. "Your father wants rare goods! That's a good plan, but I want to see if your father will still take her seriously if she loses her face! "

As she spoke, a trace of malevolence flashed across her eyes.

"Mother, what do you want to do? "Daddy likes sister to be tight now, just in case …" Gu Bitong pretended to be worried.

Mrs. Yao patted her hand and said gently, "My son, just you wait. Mother will not allow anyone to share your glory. Our Gu family only has one pearl of yours. If anyone dares to threaten you, Mother will definitely refuse!"

As she finished her sentence, her voice was full of sternness.

A trace of a smile flitted across Gu Bitong's eyes. She snuggled into Mrs. Yao's embrace and said tenderly, "Mother treats me the best. Think of everything for me!"

Mrs. Yao smoothed her daughter's hair, her eyes filled with love as she sighed, "If I don't plan for you, who will wholeheartedly do it for you? Just like your father, even though he loves you the most, he is still unreliable! "

There was a trace of resentment in her voice as she helped her daughter up and said earnestly, "Tong, you have to fight for your mother. As long as you can marry Fifth Prince successfully, who would dare to look down on you when you become the imperial concubine? When that time comes, those bitches will still be mud under your feet! "

Gu Bitong's face turned slightly red, but she did not refute her mother's words. She remembered something and suddenly asked, "Oh right, what was that Prince Rui my father mentioned just now?"

Mrs. Yao was shocked as she hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth, "My darling, you mustn't speak carelessly of this name. What if people hear it?"

Before she finished, Gu Bitong pulled down her hand and said coquettishly, "Mother, just tell me, there are no outsiders here. Besides, when I was at the palace, I often heard about Prince Rui."

Curiosity was written all over her face.

Mrs. Yao could not refuse her daughter. She looked around and helplessly said, "Keep your voice down. You shouldn't tell these words to your children, but you frequently come and go to the palace. It's not bad for you to know some things related to the royal family."
