Marquis and Marquis' Wife were probably already used to it, the only way to resolve the awkward situation was for Xie Jingxi to quickly follow Gu Yun, no matter how much she said, it would always be nonsense.

Therefore, Xie Jingxi stood up, and said apologetically: ”Father, Mother, I've already used it up, so I'll be leaving first.”

The Marquis nodded his head in agreement. The Lady Zeng did not say anything, but Gu Heng suddenly opened his mouth, ”Big brother was not at home in the past, and the whole family was not together for long. It's so easy for you to stay at home now, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat.

If it wasn't for Xie Jingxi, he probably wouldn't have stayed in the Marquis Mansion, even the Marquis was pleased. Why did Gu Heng make things difficult for him all of a sudden, why did he insist on going against him?

Gu Yun did not seem to be angry either, as he pulled Xie Jingxi's hand and said: ”It's really unfortunate, since both your sister-in-law and I have used up all of our resources, there's still a long way to go.

After Gu Yun finished speaking, he followed Xie Jingxi out of the house. Gu Heng smiled, ”Since big brother has already eaten, it's the same for me to accompany father and mother.”

Marquis frowned, he was keenly aware that there was a smell of gunpowder between the two brothers, and he looked at Gu Heng with some scrutiny, then casually asked, ”What have you been busy with recently?”

Gu Heng replied, ”Something happened in two of the branch stores. I went over to take care of it in the next few days.”

”Oh, is there any trouble?”

”A small matter. No trouble at all.”

After dinner, the Marquis left first. Gu Heng accompanied the Lady Zeng to speak for a while, then left as well. After returning to the courtyard, he did not head into the study as usual, but first went to Aunt Fang's room.

After being scolded by Gu Heng, he had embarrassed himself in front of everyone, feeling depressed and regretful. Leaning on the bed with a sickly expression, he heard Gu Heng's entrance, and almost thought that he had heard wrongly, until the little girl reported that Gu Heng had arrived. She suddenly stood up, feeling happy in his heart, but he still had to put on a respectful expression on his face, ”Second Master, you came.”

Gu Heng did not reply and sat down on a chair. He crossed his legs and stared at Aunt Fang, to the point that Aunt Fang started to panic.

After looking at it for half an incense's time, Gu Heng finally opened his mouth, ”You did that on purpose, didn't you?”

”Second Master must be joking, how could I possibly take my life as a joke? At that time, I was indeed careless and fell into the water, and even met with a whirlpool, causing Grand Mistress to be unable to save me. I know it was all because I was useless, and even Third Miss was implicated by me, and Second Master was angry at me …”

”Tell me the truth.”

”I …” ”Aunt Fang's heart shivered, she was even more scared by Gu Heng's cold voice,” What I said is all true, second master doesn't believe me, why must you ask?

The corner of Gu Heng's mouth curled up as he stood up and walked towards her, looking down at the Aunt Fang from above, ”I'll give you one last chance.”

The rebellious instinct in Aunt Fang's heart was triggered as she raised her head and held her neck up, ”I never …” Before she could finish, Gu Heng had already pinched her chin.

Simply based on her looks and temperament, she was considered a beauty. But for some reason, he just could not like her face, and every time he looked at her, he would always think of Xie Jingxi's appearance, especially when he appeared at the same time as Xie Jingxi, and he especially did not want to see her face.

Therefore, on the day that he had become his concubine, he had not recognized her at all. But unfortunately, Aunt Fang had brought up that day on her own accord, and as Gu Heng put it together, he was able to come to a unhappy conclusion. Aunt Fang was extremely hostile towards Xie Jingxi.

No matter what the reason for the enmity was, Gu Heng did not plan to let it be, giving it to a woman was something that he could accept with his eyes closed. Someone that could be as honest and sensible as Yue Wen was willing to protect them with.

The strength in Gu Heng's hand was enough to crush Aunt Fang's chin. Aunt Fang endured the heart-wrenching pain, the defensive line in his heart slowly collapsed, but he refused to admit it no matter what, ”Second Master, if Second Master does not believe, then just beat me to death.”

”You're quite an imposing person. You've made me look down on you.” Gu Heng sneered, ”Fang Wanqing, don't think that you're smart. The reason why I slapped you in front of everyone was because you were rude to Xi. Don't think that I don't know what you're scheming and dare to play tricks in front of me.

Aunt Fang was truly afraid now, even her eyes revealed fear. When Gu Heng used all her strength, she could only hear a cracking sound as Aunt Fang's chin was smacked down. Compared to the unbearable pain, what made her more afraid was the humiliation, the saliva that she couldn't control because she lost her chin, and the contempt and ruthlessness that was conveyed to her in Gu Heng's eyes. This was the first time despair arose in her heart, a despair that she didn't even feel when she fell down from her family.

Compared to Xi's life, this is already very merciful to you. You should know why your life is being spared, you should be able to do what you want from now on, and I can give you what you want. If you dare to use your brain on her again, I'll make sure to say this.
