"What happened?" Yao shi asked.
The servant girl reported anxiously, "Second young miss broke into the study of shizi and broke First Mada’s belongings! Second young master and third young master ca there upon hearing about it, and now the third young master is clamoring to punish second young miss!"
Jinyu actually broke the heirloom of the First Mada? Yao shi was only afraid that her three stepsons were going to pursue this matter to the death until Jinyu was punished.
Yao shi felt a headache as she asked, "Does the Old Mada know?"
The servant girl shook her head and answered, "The Old Mada is resting, and no one dares to wake her up. She should still be unaware."
Yao shi decided to go and have a look.
"I'll go with you." Gu Jiao said.
"No, you wait for here. Actually, you'd better go back first." Yao shi didn’t want to involve her daughter in the dispute of the Marquis Estate.
"It's no matter." Gu Jiao replied.
Such a bustle, she had to go and see it.
Once Gu Jiao insisted on sothing, basically no one could change her mind, hence Yao shi had to take her daughter along to Gu Changqing's courtyard.
Gu Changqing was still training in the back hill, and no one had reported the news to him for the ti being. At the mont, only Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin, who had heard the news, were in the courtyard.
Yao shi and Gu Jiao heard Gu Chenglin's roar from afar, "You still dare to refuse to admit your mistake?! You did it on purpose, didn’t you? You broke my mother's heirloom!"
"I didn't! Third brother, I really didn't! Believe ! I didn't break the vase!"
It was Gu Jinyu's anxious rebuttal.
Gu Chenglin said, "There were only you and biao younger sister Shuxian in the room at the ti, if it’s not you, is it biao younger sister Shuxian then?"
Gu Chenglin didn’t really hate this stepsister of his, but he preferred his younger sister from the Ling Family more.
Between these two younger sisters, of course he chose to believe in Ling Shuxian!
After listening, Yao shi more or less understood what was going on. She was no longer that fragile punching bag she used to be. She collected herself and walked into the courtyard with a dignified aura.
As soon as Gu Jinyu saw her, she hurried over and said, "Mom, I didn't break the First Mada’s vase! It’s not ! The vase was already broken when I went inside!"
Ling Shuxian snorted coldly, "What do you an it's already broken when you went inside?! Are you implying that I broke it? I told you not to follow , not to go into biao eldest brother’s study, but you wouldn't listen! Now it’s great, you’ve created a disaster!"
Gu Jinyu shook her head with tears in her eyes, "Mom, it's really not …"
Yao shi had a terrible headache as she said, "What did Mother tell you before? Why didn’t you listen to Mother?"
Gu Jinyu cried, "I know I was wrong, but... I really didn't break the vase..."
Of course she didn't break the vase.
Gu Jiao had no doubt about this.
As a matter of fact, Gu Jiao had already known about this incident as early as when she dreamt of her miserable life upon returning to the Marqus Estate.
The difference was that the victim in her dream wasn’t Gu Jinyu but herself.
After returning to the Marquis Estate, she didn't have the protection of her mother and brother. In order to better integrate herself into the Marquis Estate, she did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to please her younger cousin Ling Shuxian.
Seeing that she was so generous, Ling Shuxian found it hard to ignore her. In a happy mood, she took her to Gu Changqing's courtyard.
She thought she could make friends with her eldest brother, but instead of waiting for her eldest brother, she was actually waiting to be Ling Shuxian's scapegoat.
Of course, Ling Shuxian didn't have the intention to fra her originally, but she accidentally broke sothing in the study. For fear of being loathed by Gu Changqing, she lied that it was her who broke it.
At that ti, she was in the sa situation as Gu Jinyu now, and no one believed her!
It was just that what Ling Shuxian knocked over in the dream was not an ordinary heirloom, but the urn of the First Mada.
The anger of Gu Changqing and the whole Marquis Estate could be imagined.
Even Marquis Gu, who was not in love with the First Mada, felt that she had gone too far, making her heart cool down.
Today, when she entered the estate and saw Ling Shuxian for the first ti, she imdiately recalled that dream.
She gave Gu Jinyu a chance.
It was Gu Jinyu herself who didn’t want it.
Who else could she bla?
Gu Jinyu regretted it, she really regretted it!
If she had known this would happen, she might as well have agreed when Gu Jiao asked her to visit their mother!
Now it’s great. She had yet to curry favor with her eldest brother, but she already offended her eldest brother, second brother and third brother together!
This biao younger sister looked decent, but who knew she would be so shaless!
Still, she was now the county princess personally conferred by His Majesty, even if Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin were furious, they wouldn’t really dare co up and beat her with the punishnt rod.
But if this story got out, her reputation would get tarnished.
She couldn’t take this bla.
Yao shi put Gu Jinyu behind her, looked at Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin openly and said, "Whoever broke it, when Lord Marquis cos back, I'll ask him to look into it carefully. Jinyu is not just the young miss of the Marquis Ding'an Estate, but also the county princess personally titled by His Majesty. You can't punish her casually!"
However, Gu Chenglin unexpectedly stood up. He didn’t care about whatever county princess or whatnot at all as he got up from his wheelchair and lunged forward at Yao shi with gritted teeth.
Yao shi held Gu Jinyu in her arms.
Gu Jiao ca out nonchalantly and stood in front of Yao shi.
As soon as Gu Chenglin saw this familiar face, the overwhelming fear he had back in that dark woodshed rushed to his head again.
He instantly froze in place!
Gu Chengfeng quietly looked at his younger brother, then at Gu Jiao, his eyes deep.
Gu Jiao blandly said, "Let’s go."
Gu Jinyu left with Yao shi's company.
"Marquis Estate is no fun! I was even frad by biao elder sister! I will never co here again!" Ling Shuxian felt terribly guilty. Fearing that Gu Changqing would force her to reveal the truth, she hastened to make an excuse and left.
Gu Changqing didn't return to his courtyard until half an hour later.
He was still sick, with his body covered in sweat and his face still pale.
Even so, his bearing was undiminished and his aura was as sharp as ever.
"What happened?" He looked at his two silent younger brothers.
Gu Chenglin embellished the story, saying that Gu Jinyu broke the vase and frad Ling Shuxian for it. He was really sad. It was their mother’s favorite vase when she was still alive. He also heard that he had peed in it when he was a child.
His mother laughed so hard because of it, hugging him and kissing him all over from amusent.
Actually, he didn’t rember any of this.
Every ti he heard people talk about it, he would try his best to construct the scene at that ti in his mind.
He felt that his mother was very gentle and loved him very much, and she was the best mother in the world.
Gu Chenglin wiped his tears away.
