Most of the courtyards had servants guarding them day and night to prevent any accidents. In particular, there were people guarding the storage rooms in the corners, and they had secretly hired quite a few martial artists to keep them there.

And although the Seven Stars Academy was the residence of the madame, it used to only be controlled by Grandma Wu alone. Not even a single person was willing to watch over it from the outside.

Thinking back, back when she was young, the village became a disaster. The people outside the village were not willing to sell them food.

It was Grandmother who secretly sent someone to deliver the food, saving all the people in the village who were eating bark at the same time.

She had heard her mother say that Gu Zhiyuan and her grandmother had a deep grudge against each other. She also said that if she knew that Gu Zhiyuan could kill her brother and sister for his family property, she wouldn't have given him the chance to do so in the past.

Thinking about it carefully, most likely the friendship between mother and son had already disappeared.

If not for the fact that Gu Xu and Gu Mingyan were so close to each other, she would have gone long ago.

Today, for Gu Xu's sake, Gu Mingyan had no choice but to come up with this plan. Furthermore, if his grandmother stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it would only bring him hundreds of harm.

Thinking about this, she borrowed Shang Rong's hand to fall off the wall.

He felt his way to his grandmother's room with familiarity, waking Grandma Wu up to open the door to inform her.

After a while, a candle light lit up in the room. Lady Wu, however, said in a strange tone, "First Miss, you may enter."

It must be something similar to Chun Ying, who hated him.

Gu Mingyan laughed dryly a few times and entered the house. Shang Rong stood at the side with his head down and did not say a word.

Winter passed and spring arrived, yet the room was still filled with a charcoal brazier. The furnishings were mostly embroidered mountains and rivers, while a few jewelry boxes were placed on the bookshelves. Other than that, there was no other extravagant appearance.

Grandmother lazily leaned on the bed. Her expression changed again and again when she saw her, but she didn't say anything.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Gu Mingyan walked forward and knelt beside his grandmother's bed, placing the copied mental cultivation method at his side. On the other hand, he raised his head to look at his grandmother, and said in a low voice: "Grandmother, I hope that you can follow aunt and father's wishes and live your life peacefully in the outskirts of the city."

With that, his grandmother's face turned red and she threw the cane to him.

Now that Aunt has listened to me, she is willing to use you as a form of coercion to capture Gu Xu in her heart. Although this is restricted by others, it is the only way for Gu Xu to become a Young Master of the Prime Minister's Mansion in broad daylight, so for the following matters, I believe that Gu Xu will definitely … "

"Shut up!"

Grandma yelled, and Grandma Wu rushed in from outside to help her.

Gu Mingyan's body moved forward to check his pulse, but was forced back by his grandmother's cold eyes, he tightly clenched his teeth, and did not try to defend himself anymore.

With trembling fingertips, she pointed at Gu Mingyan's nose, and her grandmother's eyes turned red.

"Grandmother has never cared whether it was a mansion in the city or a courtyard in the suburbs! The only people that Grandma cares about are you and Xu'er, your grandchildren! "

"If it wasn't for me protecting him, those servants would dare to beat him and order him around! If his grandmother left, who would protect him in the future? "You?"

Her voice trembled and her eyes filled with tears.

Gu Mingyan raised his head and stubbornly said: "I cannot protect him, but in the future, he will have the ability to protect himself. "Grandmother tied him to her side to protect him from the wind and rain, but he never did anything, and was only fit to be mocked as a bastard!"

Just as she finished speaking, Gu Mingyan felt a pain on his shoulder, and the bowl fell behind her back and shattered into pieces.

Grandma Wu barely managed to stabilize her mother as she scolded: "Eldest Miss! "She is your grandmother. When you were living with Madam in the village, the madame was worried about you day and night, thinking of ways to sell your jewellery so that both of you could have a hearty meal. But now you want to separate the madame from the young master."

Seeing that his grandmother was so angry that she was clutching her chest, Gu Mingyan could only grumble in his heart, but he did not dare to say anything more.

After a long while, she waited until her grandmother's breathing became steady and her complexion improved before continuing.

"Is that what your mother taught you? I let you borrow my hand with Xu'er, and it was lucky that your father gained some face! You have only met Xu Er a few times, so how can you be so devoted to him? Now that you have come before me and put on an act, you are no different from that Madam Liu! "

"Even if I go to the suburban courtyard, I won't let you break Xu'er's wings!"

"Scram!"

Old Lady Wu pushed him out of the door.

A thin door, could not close the grandmother's heart of anger, also could not cover the grandmother's low sobs.

It was actually her and Gu Xu that had caused Grandma to worry endlessly. Although she knew what her grandmother had said was not without reason, she still felt as if her heart had been cut by knives.

He sincerely wanted to hand it over, but he couldn't find a suitable spot to hand it over.

She thought that she had been deceived, and that Gu Xu had misunderstood her.

Now that he was speaking bluntly, he had actually made his grandmother misunderstand him.

One step was wrong, the other step was wrong. Since she had started lying and acted out the show, it was no wonder that others didn't believe her.

Shang Rong listened to her seriously, and could not bear to say: "After all, she is your grandmother, First Miss, you …"

"Xu Er's room is in the back. Send this mental cultivation method to his door and bring me back."

With that, she pinched the center of her brows, a headache coming on, and walked back to the wall she had landed on.

Shang Rong went all the way back quickly, and just as he was about to land on the wall above the roof, he heard Old Lady Wu talking to the old lady inside the house, "Old madam, I see that Eldest Miss is very scheming, and is walking so close to Eldest Madam, it's better for you to be cautious."

"Tell Chun Ying to watch her carefully, if she wants to do anything that would harm Xu'er, go and tell Bai Feng Ran, let her see for herself how she teaches her daughter!"

Remembering Chun Ying's name, Shang Rong went back to the wall and bent down to stand on tiptoe for Gu Mingyan.

Gu Mingyan climbed up the wall and followed him back to the Han Mansion.

Before going to sleep, Shang Rong squatted by Gu Mingyan's door and could not help but ask: "Young miss, why don't the people in the house like you?"

Gu Mingyan who was lying on the bed tossing and turning, suddenly laughed: "In the future, they will not like me."

"But I feel... "Eldest Miss, you are a good person." Shang Rong scratched his head.

"As you wish." Gu Mingyan's voice carried a bit of a smile.

Shang Rong nodded, after squatting for a while and hearing nothing, he quietly went back.

In the morning of the next day, Shang Rong was currently training in his courtyard when he saw Gu Mingyan coming out wearing his usual clothes. He hung the money bag on his waist and smiled at him: "Let's take a walk while Chun Ying is still not awake."

Until they were dragged out by the eldest miss and set up in the breakfast shop.

He just realised that it was still pitch black outside and could not help but look at Gu Mingyan: "Why is young miss up so early?"

"I can't sleep, so I came out to relax." Gu Mingyan turned his head, and saw two black cyan pieces in front of him.
