Chapter 307 - It Wasn’t Ruthless Enough to Be Hit By Vines
At this moment, the old master’s eyes turned cold.
Chu Junmo was one of his favorite disciples. The gift that Chu Junmo gave had an unusual meaning compared to other juniors.
Gu Yuanyuan actually deliberately damaged it. This couldn’t be tolerated!
His old and powerful palm slammed the table heavily. “Why haven’t you brought up the family laws yet?!”
Housekeeper Zhao happily brought over the vine whip according to the family laws. Upon hearing the old master’s stern reprimand, he hurriedly carried the thick vines and walked to Gu Qiqi.
He raised the vines and was about to whip Gu Qiqi ruthlessly.
But he heard Old Master’s voice as loud as a bell. He said angrily, “Who are you hitting?! Zhao Ergou, are you stupid? She was the one who made the mistake! She should be punished by the family law!”
The old master pointed at Gu Yuanyuan.
Butler Zhao shivered. Damn it. Why was it Eldest Young Lady Yuanyuan?
Clearly, Old Madam wanted him to punish Gu Qiqi just now.
What ability did that country bumpkin have to actually defeat Eldest Young Lady Yuanyuan?
Seeing that vine, Gu Yuanyuan knew that her grandfather was serious. Her legs immediately went soft. “Family… Family law!”
Didn’t she plan to punish that country bumpkin today?
Why was she the one being punished in the end?!
“Grandma, Dad, save me! I don’t want to be beaten!”
Gu Yuanyuan begged desperately for help.
Gu Enlong naturally didn’t dare to say anything, but the Old Madam frowned and said, “Isn’t it just a longevity peach? Do you have to be so serious with a child? I’ll buy a dozen for you later! Also, Chu Junmo at least calls me Madam. I’ll just explain it to him later. I don’t believe that he fusses over such a trivial matter like a longevity peach being shattered?”
He watched as the old madam tried to minimize the matter.
How could Gu Qiqi let them succeed?
She curved her lips lightly and said slowly, “Yes, it’s indeed a trivial matter. This kind of small matter that deliberately damaged the guest’s birthday gift and harmed her own sisters won’t damage the reputation of our Gu family, nor will it ruin the younger brothers and sisters. It also won’t ruin the tradition of our scholarly family.”
Her tone was so calm.
Every word sounded so heavy!
And it sounded especially familiar!
Everyone listened in a daze and suddenly remembered that when Old Madam and Gu Yuanyuan accused Gu Qiqi of breaking the longevity peach just now, weren’t they saying this?
Now, these words were returned to them… It was a series of silent and loud slaps.
The old lady looked embarrassed. “You have a sharp tongue! Do you want to see your sisters get beaten up that badly? Are your thoughts that vicious?”
Gu Qiqi said neither servile nor overbearing, “If Grandma thinks so, then so be it.”
“You!”
The old madam didn’t expect Gu Qiqi to admit it directly. She choked on her words!
She thought that Gu Qiqi would hypocritically say that she wasn’t. Then, she could have a way out and tell Old Master that Gu Qiqi didn’t want to see her sisters get beaten either as she had already forgiven Yuan Yuan.
This little b*tch from the countryside was really disobedient.
Old Madam had no choice but to continue to persuade Old Master Gu. “Old Man, why are you so serious about the children’s matter?! Can’t you be happy today? Just give me face and don’t bicker with them…”
But what she didn’t expect was…
This time, the old master wasn’t even going to give the old lady face anymore. He interrupted her in a low voice. “It’s because of you that we only use the family law! However, Qiqi is right. If we don’t punish her severely, our Gu family’s reputation, the upbringing of the younger generation, and our scholarly roots would become a joke!”
The old master’s tone suddenly became so stern.
Old Madam, Gu Enlong, and Gu Yuanyuan were all shocked and had an ominous premonition.
What?
Wasn’t whipping the vines ruthless enough? Wasn’t it strict enough?
What else was there to do?!
