Eleventh Opportunity
"When your master just laid hands on his own sister, where were you to stop him? Weren't you afraid that your master would ruin his reputation at that time? I'm not even your real master, why should I bother with you? Get out!" Gu Man's mind was made up, and her gaze swept around the courtyard, silently taking note of these people today.
That little fellow was beaten and scolded by Gu Man, feeling utterly humiliated, unable to utter a word, his face turned purple with rage, he flung his head back and went out to call for someone.
Gu Man ignored him, squatting down to examine Gu Chengdong with great interest. At this moment, his hair was disheveled and the bright pearl that had been hanging from his hat was gone, making him look quite wretched. However, he refused to admit defeat, having been spoiled since childhood as the only male heir in the family. Even Old Lady Gu indulged him excessively, never scolding him even when he erred, which had cultivated his arrogant and overbearing personality.
Jian Gu Man was about to strike again with his ruler, but then he remembered what Gu Cheng Yu had said: "9th sister's maternal grandfather is Wang Lao Tai Fu! Do you know who Wang Lao Tai Fu is? Even our current teacher has to address him as Shifu Gong! Are you daring enough to provoke her? Moreover, 9th sister has always been more favored than you, if you hit her, it would be like hitting an elephant's tusk! When our grandfather returns, you won't be able to get away with this!"
"Besides, Ninth Sister isn't someone who can be bullied easily. Do you think you can take advantage of her? We don't believe it, and even if we didn't, Big Brother and the others definitely wouldn't believe you either!"
He thought to himself, and suddenly remembered that tomorrow at the clan school he would definitely be ridiculed by his brothers. He couldn't help but blush, and with a rounded body, he was about to stand up, still muttering dirty words: "You little slut, little turtle! I'll get my uncle to sell you off, far, far away! Sell you into the courtyard!"
Courtyard, nowadays most brothels are called courtyards.
Gu Man was both shocked and furious, stretched out his hand and gave him a severe slap on the face, coldly sneering: "Then I'll wait with bated breath to see how you dare sell your own sister!"
Things are getting more and more out of hand here, Gu Chengyu felt uneasy, he knew what kind of person Wu Niang was. If she found out that he had instigated Gu Chengdong to come, although Gu Man wouldn't have a good outcome, he would definitely be taught a lesson too. He quietly slipped away with his people.
He took a few more people away with him, and the Mingyuelou was left with only the original servants in the courtyard, and several young maidservants who dared not leave Gu Chengdong. Suddenly it became much quieter.
The place where Gu Man grabbed his hand was burning with pain, and his back was even more so. In his heart, he became even more resentful towards Gu Man, and the words that came out of his mouth were even more unpleasant to hear.
Gu Man didn't care about him, anyway. Every time he said something unpleasant, she would slap him once. Otherwise, she would lower her head and softly retort with something even more unpleasant, making Gu Chengdong so angry that his teeth chattered.
It was in a state of chaos, when a woman's voice was heard outside, shouting and wailing. A woman in her thirties then burst in, embracing Gu Chengdong and crying out "Poor young master!" At the sight of this woman, Gu Chengdong cried even more desperately.
Gu Man slightly furrowed her brow, recognizing the person. It wasn't Wu Tai Tai, but rather someone who was very close to Gu Cheng Dong, probably his wet nurse. Indeed, the woman knelt down and kept kowtowing, repeatedly begging Gu Man to spare her young master's life.
The aftermath is coming, Gu Man is clear in his heart that the fifth lady will soon come to ask for trouble, and at that time, he will have to go to Old Lady Gu's place to complain.
She had seen Mrs. Wu being unreasonable, and her own mother didn't seem like a straightforward person either; if things escalated, she would be the one to suffer in the end. Thinking this, Gu Man's eyes rolled back, and she suddenly reached out to support her head with her hand, her body going limp as she fainted onto the ground.
That milk girl, although she rushed to Gu Chengdong's side as soon as she came in, also saw the big package on Gu's head and his swollen face, knowing that he must have suffered a lot too. She knew her young master's temper well - he would only hit others, never willing to be hit himself.
She was convinced that Gu Man was more seriously injured than Gu Chengzhong, and this crying was just to shift the blame onto Gu Man later. Seeing Gu Man fainting, she was also scared half to death, and hurriedly called for the servants to bring a rattan chair to carry Gu Chengzhong away.
Pei Yin and Pei Qin were almost frightened to death, they cried and rushed over, together with Qi Niangniang, they hastily helped Gu Man into the room, while also quickly sending someone to report to Wang Shi.
It wasn't until the house had quieted down and only three people were left, including Qi Hua, that Gu Man suddenly sat up with a solemn expression. Ignoring the shock of the other three, she began to tear off her clothes.
"Miss!" It was still Qi's nanny who reacted first, stopping her: "What are you going to do?"
Gu Man heard this and glanced at them, saying: "Do it for the sake of Fifth Madame and Old Madame! Otherwise, I'll be the one to suffer punishment again! You all hurry up and make your appearances more pitiful!"
Qī's wife and Pei Qin Pei Yin were also clever people, they understood Gu Man's meaning after listening, and quickly made their clothes and hair a bit disheveled.
Gu Man rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her right hand and pinched many scars on her arm and wrist. She used a lot of force, and every time she pinched, it turned red. For a moment, all that could be seen was blood, and Qi Niang and Pei Yin Pei Qin were both stunned, then they stared at her as if they didn't recognize her for half a moment.
Gu Man was still not satisfied and pinched his right hand with his left hand again.
"Enough, enough!" Pei Yin looked on with a pained heart and hurriedly rushed over to stop her, choking back tears as she said: "It was originally Eighth Master who was being unreasonable, you were just unwilling to be bullied and fought back a little, even if you wanted to shirk responsibility, why must you treat yourself like this?! You're still a girl after all, what if you end up with scars?!"
Gu Man was much clearer than them, and since Old Lady Gu was so biased, when the time came, Fifth Madame would slightly distort the truth, and she feared that even if she tried to explain herself, she wouldn't be listened to and would be condemned. She didn't want to implicate Wang Shi in this matter either.
On the contrary, she wants to take this as an opportunity, an opportunity to help Wang's family stand firm.
This time it can be said that it is a direct confrontation between the second house and the fifth house. If you can make the fifth house suffer, the people in this mansion will naturally have their own considerations.
Qī Māma and Pèi Qín Pèi Yīn both hesitated, just about to say something, when they heard a loud voice outside calling out "Gù Mǎn".
"It's definitely looking for trouble! Don't worry, I won't have to teach you how to speak later!" Gu Man lowered his head and instructed the three people, then closed his eyes and pretended to faint again.
It wasn't that she was impulsive, nor was it that she couldn't calm down. It's just that she still remembered how at around eleven years old, Gu Chengzhuang had taken advantage of his own motherless state to beat up the original Gu Man, and then pushed her into the water, directly causing the original Gu Man's death, which allowed her to attach herself to Gu Man's body.
Since they have all been reborn, it's only natural that they can't follow the original history. She wants them to experience what it means to lift a rock and drop it on their own feet!
