"Then let him do as he pleases?" Mrs. Yao turned around and cried, "You are the one in this house, but you are not him. How can he give face to the master by doing this? He was looking down on the people of the Residence of He. He even dared to talk back to his mother!

Didn't His Majesty advocate for filial piety? Why didn't he accept this unfilial and unfilial item? "Old master, you're accusing His Majesty right now. Prince Rui might not cover up such an outrageous thing like this, so he kicked him out of the manor. He said that our Gu family had nothing to do with him at first, and that he was an unscrupulous bastard like Old State Duke, picked up from who knows where back then."

Before she could finish her words, Gu Qingyuan reprimanded her harshly, "Women talk like this! How could he speak carelessly of such a thing? Not to mention that Father did not say that he was not my third brother, even if he was truly someone he picked up, with his monstrous power today, how could we dare to touch him? His hair is truly long and his eyes are short, if not for you punishing Zhu first, would he dare trespass into the Inner Court? All in all, it was you who caused it! "

He had never scolded Mrs. Yao in such a harsh manner before, so Mrs. Yao was shocked. She stood up and said angrily, "Master, you mean I was wrong? Tong was hurt by your vicious daughter. If I hadn't informed Madam Zhu in time and suppressed this matter, Tong's reputation would have been completely ruined. If Imperial Concubine Shu knew about this, would she still be able to marry into King Jin's mansion? Old master, aren't you ashamed of saying these words? After all, Tong is your biological daughter. Now that she has been bullied to such an extent, not only did you not help her out, you even said that it's our fault? "

Mrs. Yao was so angry that her face turned red. She sat on the couch and started to sob again.

Gu Qingyuan was annoyed by her tears, so he waved his hand and said, "Alright, I didn't say anything, I just told you not to mess with Third Brother for the time being. Since he is very powerful now, we have to make way. As for Tong falling into the water, there was no evidence that Zhu did it. Didn't she fall into the water as well? If word of this gets out, it will only make the two girls in our mansion suffer, so it's better for you to calm down! "

Mrs. Yao raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, "My daughter suffered such a huge loss. Is it going to end like this?" "I don't dare to offend San Ye, I can't even deal with a girl?" Then what am I supposed to be, I might as well give the authority of the House to your precious daughter! "

Gu Qingyuan saw that she was really angry, and his expression softened. He came over and advised, "Look at what you are saying, why are you angry with me? "Ol 'Three is living in the manor right now, and is very considerate to Zhu. I just want you to stop causing trouble for the time being. After Ol' Three leaves, wouldn't you be free to do whatever you want?"

Mrs. Yao turned from annoyance to laughter as her eyes flashed, "Then Master, don't you feel sorry for me? A while ago, you were still protecting her! "

Gu Qingyuan came over and patted her shoulders, "Tong is the daughter that I care about. She suffered so much and you think I don't care? In the future, would the clan still not point their fingers at her? If Tong's reputation is sullied, I can't let her go no matter what. No matter if she's falling into the water on purpose or not, it's still her responsibility! "

Mrs. Yao was surprised that Gu Qingyuan changed his attitude so quickly. She broke down her tears and smiled, "Old master has finally turned the corner."

Gu Qingyuan, on the other hand, had his own thoughts. Gu Jinzhu had fallen into the water outside because she was saved by Prince Rui. Prince Rui's reputation was like a wolf's. If word of this got out, Gu Jinzhu might be implicated.

If this matter were to spread, this daughter of his would be considered as ruined. Who would truly have the face to come and marry her? Then why should he waste his time on her?

He only wanted to see what was going on outside and see if Prince Rui had suppressed this matter.

He thought for a moment, and warned again, "These few days you have to bear with it, now that you have Third Bro to protect her, it's not good for you to start any more trouble, isn't that girl forbidden from leaving, after a few days when Third Bro leaves, you can do whatever you want with her, it's all up to you!"

Mrs. Yao nodded, "I am relieved to hear your words, master. Let that little hoof rest in peace for two more days!"

She turned around and placed a pair of soft arms on Gu Qingyuan's chest. She wanted to take off his clothes and smiled coquettishly, "It's already late, old master should rest here for now."

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyuan took a step back and waved his hand, "Sleep first. I'll go to the autumn flower garden to take a look. I wonder how Jin's face is recovering."

He turned and walked out of the room.

Mrs. Yao was stunned, then a trace of suspicion gradually appeared on her face. Previously, she had never seen him take care of that girl Gu Bijin before, but now that girl's face was ruined.

In the Begonia Courtyard, Mrs. Jiang let the girls hold the lantern while an old nanny skillfully took off the gauze on Gu Bijin's face.

On her fair and delicate face, there were a few hideous red marks, destroying her beauty.

Mrs. Jiang's eyes unknowingly revealed a trace of anxiety. It had been so many days, but the scars on her daughter's face had not lessened at all. What would she do if scars were to appear on her face in the future?

The girls around also quietly turned their heads away. Gu Bijin couldn't bear to look anymore, so she asked again and again, "Mother, mother, is my face better now?"

Mrs. Jiang's heart felt as if it had been slashed by a knife, but she couldn't show it. She forced a smile and said, "Much better!"

Gu Bijin said happily, "Where's the mirror? Get the mirror. I want to see my face. "

Mrs. Jiang pressed her hand down and coaxed, "It's too late now. It's not good to look in the mirror at night. Be obedient and let nanny apply medicine for you. You can look at it after two days when your face is completely recovered."

It was rare for Gu Bijin to not be angry. She obediently nodded her head and raised her face, asking nanny to apply medicine on her.

Gu Qingyuan came in and saw his third daughter's face.

Gu Bijin said happily, "Dad, you've come. My face is much better now, right?"

Gu Qingyuan nodded and smiled, "It's much better now. Tomorrow, I will ask for more palace medicine from you, Second Sister. It will be recovered very soon."

Gu Bijin was even happier as she talked to him for a while. Gu Qingyuan had a rare look of patience, but he couldn't help but look away.

Amongst the group of girls holding the lanterns, there was a girl who was tall and slim. She wore green clothes, and held a lantern in her hand. Her head was slightly lowered, and one could only see her raven-colored hair.

Her slender neck curved in an extremely beautiful arc. From her dark neckline, one could see that her skin was white and slender. The ten fingers holding the lamp were as beautiful as jade. Under the dim light of the candlelight, they emitted a kind of jade-like luster.

She seemed to have sensed something and slightly raised her head to meet Gu Qingyuan's burning gaze. Her body trembled and a drop of candle wax dripped onto the back of her hand. She hurriedly lowered her head and hid behind a group of maidservants.

Gu Qingyuan felt as if his heart was in a whirl. When he came to his third daughter's courtyard, he accidentally found this girl. For a moment, his heart felt like it was growing weeds, and it was hard to control his itchiness.
