Chapter 556: She Could Give It Her All for the Sake of Her Children
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingxue hugged Gu Lin and kissed his fair and tender little face. “Then go. Mother will go to your goduncle and discuss this matter.”
She had never wanted to expose her relationship with Imperial Zuke Zhan’s family.
She wanted to keep a low profile, but for the sake of her children, she could give it her all.
With Gu Qingxue’s promise, Gu Lin’s heart that had been in his throat finally settled down. He hugged Gu Qingxue even more tightly, unwilling to let go.
Gu Qingxue was hugging Gu Lin and coaxing him softly when Qin Yun lifted the heavy curtain and strode in.
Gu Lin had never liked to act coquettishly in front of others. He could not help but blush and quickly wriggled out of Gu Qingxue’s arms, standing still in silence.
“Eldest Miss, the ninth prince has sent another gift.” As Qin Yun said this, she also showed a troubled expression.
Ever since MO Yunye’s previous actions had angered Gu Qingxue, he had been sending all kinds of precious treasures to apologize to her every day.
Unfortunately, Gu Qingxue did not appreciate it at all.
It was the same today. Gu Qingxue only nodded her head slightly after hearing this, her expression nonchalant. “There’s no need to let his people in, and there’s no need to accept the gifts.”
Qin Yun frowned helplessly and said, “This servant also has the same plan. However, the ninth prince’s men left the box of gifts outside our residence and ran away. We can’t even catch up to them!”
Gu Qingxue raised her brows and looked at Qin Yun. “In other words, our guards were unable to stop them?”
“I heard from the guards that the ninth prince’s men came to get close to them. They were careless for a moment, and they were taken advantage of.” Qin Yun carefully observed Gu Qingxue’s expression as she spoke.
Others might not know, but after serving Gu Qingxue for a few days, Qin Yun knew better than anyone else that their Eldest <iss hated her subordinates for neglecting their duties.
As expected, Gu Qingxue laughed coldly. “Give the guards who didn’t guard the gate twenty strokes of the stick each. If they don’t want to be punished, get out of the Gu family’s gate.”
She had always been tolerant and treated the servants of the Gu family very well. What she needed was for these people to do well for the Gu family.
In the end, the guards could not even guard the main door. It was useless for such a person to stay in the Gu family. If he could not remember this lesson, he might as well leave.
“Yes… However, Eldest Miss, how should we deal with those gifts? The ninth prince’s gift this time is even more valuable than last time. It’s priceless.” Qin Yun looked at Gu Qingxue with a troubled expression.
Gu Qingxue’s face was calm as she opened her thin lips and said, “Just throw it out, it’s an eyesore.”
“Yes.” When Qin Yun heard this, the muscles at the corner of her lips twitched.
She felt that the only person who could say such words so freely was their
Eldest Miss.
After watching Qin Yun leave, Gu Yu turned to Gu Qingxue and asked, “Mother, you quarreled with Uncle Nine. Will you never forgive him again?
Gu Qingxue reached out her hand and patted her son’s head with a smile. “Lil’ Lin, there are some things that can’t be forgiven. Uncle Nine has violated mother’s bottom line this time, and mother doesn’t want to give him any more
chances..”
