If only Shrike Yao's nerves were big enough to realize that something was amiss.
However, he didn't know what was going on with him today, so he acted on impulse. Seeing that Gu Yinian, Feng Yue, and quite a few Gu family servants were also present, Mu Jiuyao's face turned red, and she quickly let go of Gu Huayan's hand, "Master Wang is joking. This nephew is only in a hurry, please forgive me. I, your nephew, have grown up with Huan Yan and Gu Xi and have always treated them like my own siblings. "
He was indeed the son of the Minister of the Left, but his reaction was fast despite his young age.
With just a few words, Gu Yan Nian was left speechless. If he said more, wouldn't that become his?
Looking at Mu Jin Yao, Gu Yan Nian simply smiled. "That's true. My Gu family has always been weak, and cannot be compared to the prosperity of a son of the Mu family. It's also his fortune that Gu Xi has friends like you."
Gu Qingyi stood quietly at the side, listening to the two of them conversing with each other. On the surface, they seemed very intimate, but in reality, they seemed to be doing it for the family.
She didn't think that her father, who she had thought to know nothing about, would be so eloquent.
He was telling Mu Shou Yao that your brothers were all at the Mu Family, so what else could he be talking about?
Even the youngest Gu Xi understood. In an instant, her face turned deathly pale, and Gu Huayan trembled a few times before she almost fell over. Congee Yao's eyes were filled with nervousness, but she could only clench her fists tightly in her heart.
Only Xuanyuan Lian was a fool. He didn't understand anything and continued to laugh happily, "That's right, that's right. Uncle Gu Wang, don't worry. Although Gu Xi isn't a blood brother, I'm his blood brother with Mu Jingyao!"
Gu Qingyi stood at the side and almost laughed.
Cun Yao's face darkened even more. She took advantage of Gu Yan Nian's inattentiveness to glare at him a few times. Unfortunately, Xuanyuan Lian didn't know what he was doing. He was only innocently scratching his head.
"Alright, since the two gongzis have bumped into each other, then this matter is not our own affair anymore. Today, we should at least come up with something to argue about." Originally, if it was just a small fight, then the matter of locking up the door and coming back home would have been over. But now that he had involved two outsiders, Xuanyuan Lian and Mu Jingyao, if this rumor spread out, it might be unpleasant to hear. It might even ruin the reputation of the Gu Estate. As Gu Yinian said this, he coldly swept a glance at Feng Yue. Immediately, Feng Yue's heart lurched, thinking, "What does it have to do with me?" Yet, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Father, this matter …" At this moment, Gu Yannan seemed to have gotten really angry. Gu Huayan's desire to take the opportunity to teach Gu Qingyi a lesson had also dissipated by quite a bit as she was thinking of erasing the matter.
However, she was interrupted by Gu Yinian just as she was about to speak. "Alright, I'll take care of this matter." With that, he turned around and looked at Gu Qingyi, and calmly said, "Tell me, what is going on? Where did the blood come from Huan Yan's body? Speak honestly. If the fault lies with you, I will not blame you. If you are not at fault, I will naturally not feel wronged. "
"This... "This …" Gu Qingyi bit her lips and hesitantly asked, "Can you tell father about this in private?"
"Private? Humph! What was there to say that couldn't be said openly but in private? Do you want Uncle Wang to show favoritism? " Just as Qing Yi finished speaking, before Gu Yan Nian could reply, Xuanyuan Lian jumped up and pointed at Gu Qingyi, "I don't dare to say it to your face. "I was wondering how my Aunt Ping, a girl like you, could have had a daughter like that!"
"You …" When she mentioned her mother, Gu Qingyi was angered as well. "Fine, I'll say it, as long as you don't regret it!"
