His expression was extremely ugly, and with a thought, he suddenly asked, ”What's your monthly number?”

Gu Jinzhu slightly lowered her head. She hesitated for a moment before lightly saying, ”2 taels.”

”Two taels?” Gu Qingyuan's expression instantly darkened.

What a great Yao family! He had repeatedly reminded her to treat Gu Jinzhu well, but she had actually ignored his words and openly criticized her!

He clenched his fingers tightly and was enraged. He said to Gu Jinzhu, ”I'll tell your mother about this!” He then hurriedly left the room.

Looking at her father's back as he left, Gu Jinzhu raised her head. Her face no longer had that weak expression from before, and her eyes were filled with coldness.

Since Lady Yao had already fallen out with her, there was no need for her to continue pretending to be a good daughter. It wasn't as if she didn't know how to back out!

Within the Jin Wu Courtyard.

Lady Yao was currently talking to her daughter with an angry expression on her face.

”I never thought that Jin'er, that idiot, would actually snatch that box of rouge away. Now that I've lost it, all my efforts have been in vain!”

Gu Bi Tong's face was gloomy as well. It was a pity that she had that good rouge in her box.

She could only persuade Mrs. Yao, ”Mom, perhaps she's the lucky one again. But Daddy has already determined that she's the one who did it. With such anger, he'll definitely scold her when he gets to the Jade Bamboo Garden, and maybe even punish her. More importantly, Father knows how vicious she is and will definitely no longer hold her in high regard. Only then will we be able to make a move on her in the future. ”

Lady Yao let out a long sigh and said, ”Hopefully, your father won't be bewitched by that little slut this time. It's best if you lock her up in the courtyard so that she won't be able to attend the Zhu Family's chrysanthemum viewing feast!”

Before she could finish, Gu Qingyuan walked in with large strides.

His face was gloomy as he looked at Gu Bi Tong, who no longer had her usual affection for him, and frowned. ”Why are you still here?” Hurry up and go back to your courtyard to sleep! ”

Gu Bi Tong was startled. Seeing her father's unsightly expression, her heart sank. She immediately smiled sweetly and said, ”Then father and mother should rest early. Daughter will take her leave first.”

She hadn't even gone out when she heard the sound of a teacup being smashed to the ground. Gu Qingyuan's angry voice could be heard, ”Good thing you did!”

Gu Bi Tong's heart skipped a beat. Her first reaction was that the incident with the rouge had been exposed. A trace of panic flashed past her heart.

Gu Qingyuan was clearly angry, afraid that his father would blame her. She couldn't help but quicken her steps and quickly left the Jin Wu Residence.

Inside the house, Lady Yao's face was also a little pale. She looked at Gu Qingyuan's face and forced herself to remain calm, asking, ”Old master, what happened? Who pissed you off so much? ”

She was also worried about the incident with the rouge, and her body couldn't help but tremble from the fear.

Gu Qingyuan pointed at her and cursed, ”You need me to say that? Don't you think about what you've done! Pearl's monthly rate was only two taels? Is my Gu Residence's Eldest Miss a beggar? As the manager's mother, you are so stingy that you even deducted the monthly allowance from the maidservant! Stupid to the extreme! If these words were to spread out, what face would you have left in this family! ”

Lady Yao was stunned. After a long while, she cautiously asked, ”Is this the old master's reason?”

”Otherwise? What else do you want? Pearl's monthly money was deducted, and the ice basin was also gone. Could it be that you have also reduced your other uses by quite a bit? What exactly do you think of Pearl? ”A maidservant?” Gu Qingyuan was livid with rage.
