In the banquet hall, Gu Yuan Pei's expression was solemn as he poured himself a cup of tea and placed it heavily on the table.

"Those sly old foxes of the Bai Clan, I knew they would beat them up! The Bai Clan's elder had been waiting for me since early in the morning. The villain sues first, saying that our Gu Clan doesn't know how to teach daughters, and our son was unreasonable enough to beat up his family, saying that he wanted to pick a book with me.

Gu Yuan Pei blew on his beard in excitement, wishing he could knock the table out of the way.

"Dad, don't think too hard. The Bai Clan is a family of martial generals. Even if there are ten of you, you might not be able to defeat them."

Gu Hua Ran spoke slowly with a peaceful expression, but his hand was still unconsciously scratching at the armrest, "I went to the Capital Prefecture's magistrate court today and said what I needed to say. I've already made it clear. I'm just waiting for father to make a move and then come out to testify."

"Good, I've handed over my book, Sir Wang is an old acquaintance of mine and should be handling it impartially, let's see tomorrow, I don't believe that I can't beat the elder of the Bai Clan, can I not scold him?"

Gu Yuan Pei couldn't wait to rush to the Bai Clan and scold them. Even when he saw Gu Hua Jing, the anger in his heart was still simmering.

"Dad, don't say these things when Jingjing arrives, don't make her worry."

"Do I need you to tell me more?"

The banquet of the Gu family was incomparably warm. Although Qin Wanghui had some misgivings about Gu Hua Jing, she didn't dare to slight her.

Thus, during the family banquet, Gu Hua Jing recognized the Gu family's population. It was much simpler than what she originally thought.

The house had two concubines, three children, a first wife and a son born from a concubine. Yang Jiayao was the only woman in the house, and the only child was her first son.

This was simply too easy to remember compared to the novels that Gu Hua Jing had read in the past. Gu Hua Jing felt very grateful and immediately tried to memorize their names and appearances with all her might.

"Little aunt, you're so pretty. Can I be as pretty as you in the future?"

Sister Ping'er looked four or five years old and was wearing a bright yellow dress. Her head was wrapped in red coral and there was a piece of bright jade water on her chest.

"In the future, Sister Ping will definitely look better than little aunt."

Gu Hua Jing smiled and bent down to speak to her, her eyes like the moon.

Sister Ping'er seemed very satisfied as her round eyes darted around, "That little aunt is so beautiful, why doesn't the little aunt's family like you?"

"…" The warm and lively atmosphere instantly froze, not even a single sound could be heard.

Qin Wanghui's eyes widened as she pulled sister Ping over, smiling at Gu Hua Jing. "Sister, don't mind her. Sister Ping is still young, so she doesn't understand. She's just randomly spouting nonsense …"

"She doesn't understand? She didn't understand how to say such words? Then what on earth would know how to say all this in front of her? "

Before Gu Hua Jing could say anything, Gu Yuan Pei's expression darkened, "Hua Lei's wife, how do you usually teach your sister Ping'er?" "You're so old and you still don't know what's important and what's not. Is this how you raise your children?!"

"Father, please calm your anger. My wife, my daughter-in-law will definitely investigate this matter and find out which servant is speaking nonsense in front of Miss Ping. Sister Ping'er has always been a sensible person, so …" "It must have been someone who heard it …"

Qin Wanghui was panicking inwardly. If she had known earlier, she would not have complained in front of Sister Ping.

Although the Gu family doted on Miss Ping'er, they cared more about Gu Hua Jing. But how did Qin Hui know that Sister Ping would suddenly say all these?

"Dad, Sister Ping is just a child. It's alright."

Gu Hua Jing felt that Gu Yuan Pei's reaction was serious. "Moreover, this is also the truth. Even a child would find it strange, but I was so stubborn back then. I believe I'm not even comparable to a child …"

"Jingjing …"

Gu Hua Lei's face was full of guilt. His little sister had respected him since he was young, so his whole family's pampered him wasn't too willful. They just made a mistake when it came to marriage.

Not only was her big brother unable to protect her, he even made it difficult for her daughter …

Gu Hua Lei glared at Qin Wuan, causing her to be shocked.

The two of them had been married for a long time. Although it couldn't be said that they had been married for a long time, they still treated each other with respect. Gu Hua Lei had always been very respectful towards him.

This was all because of Gu Hua Jing! It was all because of her that her previous tranquility was ruined. This person was simply a bereaved star!

At this moment, Gu Hua Jing was still unable to receive Qin Hui's wave of hatred. She crouched down and stared back at Ping'er.

"Little Aunt used to think it was strange too, but now I understand, it's useless for a girl to be good-looking, and not everyone likes her. It's a pity that I understood it too late, but since Sister Ping is so smart, she will definitely be better off than Little Aunt in the future."

When Miss Ping heard this, she was confused. Mother told her that her little aunt's family didn't want her anymore, but she didn't explain it to her. However, at her age, she could already distinguish between good and bad.

Miss Ping'er felt that this little aunt in front of her wasn't like what her mother had said … Not good...

It was very easy for a child to divert their attention, so Gu Hua Jing didn't pay much attention to it.

In any case, the one with a brain handicap was the original Gu Hua Jing, so it wasn't her. She was also very depressed about this matter. This kind of young girl who was like a flower and jade was too difficult to bear.

After the family banquet ended, Gu Hua Jing returned to the Flowerflower Courtyard with a peaceful atmosphere.

She knew that her father and brother didn't want to worry her too much, so she obediently accepted such a carefree person. After returning home, she immediately washed up and went to sleep.

However, the atmosphere in the courtyard wasn't as leisurely as it was now.

"Uncle, Miss Ping only casually asked that question today. You won't be angry with her, right?"

Qin Wanghui was afraid that Gu Hua Lei would punish Ping'er, so she lowered her posture immediately after she got back, and gently stepped forward to help take off her outer robes.

Gu Hua Lei looked at her, but didn't say anything. He just sat at the table, his expression still dark.

"Sister Ping is usually the most obedient, and Sister has just come back. You should know that Sister Ping really likes that beautiful garden, so it's normal for her to have a small temper. But she really didn't mean it, so you shouldn't bother with her."

Qin Wanghui was still racking her brains to come up with a suitable excuse, but she didn't realize that Gu Huayi's expression was getting worse and worse.

It was the same every time. Every time Qin Wuren did something inappropriate, he would not feel that it was his fault. Instead, he would find an excuse to explain.

Initially, Gu Hua Lei had been patient and tried to analyze things with her, but gradually he realized that it was all useless. Qin Wanghui still didn't think it was her fault. Even though he said he was wrong, he wasn't convinced.

No matter what, Qin Wuren was still his legitimate wife, so no matter how much Gu Hua Lei disliked her, he could only stay away from her. Gu Hua Lei could only be a little more guilty towards the rest of the family and do his best to be the eldest brother since Qin Hui was carrying out his family's concubine duties, or because Sister Ping was the only daughter in the family and was very proud of herself.

However, now that he saw Qin Wanghui like this, especially after seeing Jingjing, Gu Hua Lei suddenly had a plan.

If this were to continue, would Sister Ping be learning this from her mother?

Would Sister Ping'er, who spent all her time with Qin Wenzhou, also turn into such a petty and narrow-minded person in the future?

"You're right. Sister Ping'er is indeed young. It's also possible for her to be unable to differentiate right from wrong."

"She doesn't have the ability to distinguish, so it's hard to say who would say something like that in front of her. No matter who it is, they must have a bad heart and are afraid that the world will fall into chaos, you'd better investigate and find out and chase her out, so as to not harm Miss Ping."

"…" Qin Wanghui nearly choked on her own saliva.

Who said those words in front of Miss Ping'er? Who would dare to gossip in front of Miss Ping'er? Sister Ping was the flesh of his heart, and besides him, who else would dare to gossip with her in this courtyard?

These old men knew about it! But why did he say that?

Could it be … Could it be that he was saying that he was a despicable person with an unrighteous mind who feared that the world would be thrown into chaos?

No, no, no, this was impossible. The lord would not treat him like this.

Qin Wuren kept comforting herself, but she couldn't help but to look up at Hua Lei's expression.

With this look, Qin Wuren's heart turned cold. Gu Hua Lei's eyes were clearly looking at her. He clearly knew that he was the one who said those words!

"You better check it out, where am I resting today?"

With that, Gu Hua Lei stood up and walked out, not even saying a word of consolation.

Garden of He again! Qin WangHui's body could not help but tremble as he gripped his palm.

How could Gu Hua Lei treat him like this?!

If it wasn't for her, how could the mansion have the same aura as today? If it wasn't for her, how could they keep the family's support firmly in their hands? How could their big house be as comfortable as the second one?

Qin Wanghui felt like her heart was bleeding. It wasn't enough for her to fight with Yang Jiayao from the second house, and she still had to fight with her concubine in the yard. Was it easy for her?!

However, Gu Hua Lei didn't appreciate her kindness. He even grumbled about Gu Hua Jing's insinuation towards her. Could it be that what he said wasn't the truth? Even if she was hated by men, she would be rejected by the Bai Family. Could it be that this wasn't the truth?!

The furious Qin WangHui scolded Gu Hua Jing in her heart, but she didn't know that when Gu Hua Lei had taken in a concubine room, he had been trying to spread all kinds of animosity towards Yang Jia Yao.

She didn't know that because of her obsession with power, Gu Hua Lei felt guilty towards Gu Hua Xuan and his wife, and even apologized to them with a serious expression on his face. He was originally the elder brother and sister-in-law of the Gu family, but he couldn't be merciful.

If it wasn't for Gu Huaxuan and his wife's magnanimity, the Gu family wouldn't be so peaceful today. Qin Wenzhou didn't know about this …
