C58 Calculation (1/2)

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyuan frowned and said, ”Alright, it's not that big of a deal. Zhu'er just came back and still doesn't understand the situation in the estate. Didn't she change the girl's name?” Don't bring this up again. ”

Before he could finish his words, Lady Yao and Gu Bi Tong looked at him with faces full of disbelief. They had never imagined that he would have such a reaction.

Gu Qingyuan usually doted on his second daughter the most. As long as Gu Bi Tong suffered any grievances, he would fly into a rage. But now, he was actually speaking up for that little hoof?

Lady Yao's face was filled with astonishment, but at the same time, an even greater unwillingness arose within her. She couldn't help but say, ”Old Master, it's not like you didn't see that girl, she …”

Before she could finish, Gu Qingyuan impatiently interrupted her, saying, ”Alright, I've already said that you're not allowed to bring up this matter again. You're the boss's mother, and you're spreading rumors for the sake of a little girl and her daughter!”

Lady Yao's scolding face changed. Gu Qingyuan had always been considerate towards her, but when had he ever been scolded like this? He felt wronged and angry at the same time.

Gu Qingyuan didn't wait for her to speak, he looked to his daughter who was on the verge of tears and frowned, ”Tong'er, Daddy knows that you've been wronged, but he's just a little girl. Why are you arguing with her? Moreover, your sister just came back, so the two sisters should have been very close to each other. That's why our house was so harmonious, and if word of this gets out for a girl's name, outsiders would only say that you are underestimating her, which would affect your reputation. ”

Gu Beitong felt like vomiting. She had been pointing at her father, but her father had stuck his head out for her. She hadn't expected to run into such a bad situation.

Father couldn't have been possessed by a ghost, right? Just by looking at that slut yesterday, she defended her?

She hated him to death, but she pretended to be gentle on the surface. With red eyes, she lowered her head and said, ”Yes, father's teachings are correct. Daughter is wrong. In the future, I will definitely get along well with big sister.”

Gu Qingyuan nodded.

He was already upset over the matter of the imperial court. When he got home, he still could not eat a peaceful meal, so he became even more impatient when he heard that there were two sisters fighting over a small matter.

Normally, he valued his second daughter the most, so it wouldn't be a big deal to vent his anger for her. However, when he saw Gu Jinzhu yesterday and saw how she looked after, he naturally changed his mind.

The manor's second daughter, who was known as the ”Shengjing Pearl”, had already brought him many fame and benefits. If he added another daughter, the Gu Residence would only benefit greatly if word of this were to spread.

He had his own plans, so naturally, he wouldn't delay Gu Jinzhu. He thought for a moment, then warned Lady Yao, ”Zhu'er just returned, so it's hard to avoid some inconvenience. As a direct mother, take care of her as well.

Lady Yao was so angry that the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn, but Gu Qingyuan acted as if he didn't see her expression at all, he stood up and said, ”Alright, I'll be going to the front. From now on, you can handle these small matters of the inner chamber.

Although his voice was gentle, there was a hint of warning in it. Lady Yao had no choice but to agree.

When Gu Qingyuan left the Jin Wu Residence, Yao Family slapped the table, the jade bangle on her wrist clanking loudly.

”I'm so angry! Has your father gone senile? He actually spoke up for that little slut!” Her face was livid with anger.

Gu Bi Tong frowned. She had already put away her tearful expression, but it was replaced by a gloomy one.

She had not expected her father to have such a reaction. Thinking about how her father, who had always doted on her, had once again challenged her to be friendly with him, a trace of sternness flashed across her beautiful face.
