How is thirty-two?

  Here comes this trick again! Gu Man slightly sneered, not giving him the opportunity to continue making a fuss, turned around and grabbed a little maid who was hurrying along, and asked with a smile: "Where is she going?"

  She had never been in a bad temper with the little maids, and the little maid stood still and replied to her: "Replying to Ninth Young Lady, slave servant is going to Welcome Spring House of Mistress."

  "What a coincidence!" Gu Man clapped his hands and laughed, glancing at Lu Hanxuan who was awkwardly withdrawing his hand, but instead spoke to the little servant girl: "It just so happens that Young Master Biao is also returning to Ying Chun Residence. Why don't you lead the way for Young Master Biao? Young Master Biao has just recovered from a serious illness and it's not good for him to stand in this cold wind for too long."

  Lu Hanxuan stood with his hands behind him, looking at Gu Man with a calm and collected expression, but with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "I just wanted to have a good chat with my cousin, why do you reject me like this? Are you so eager to get rid of your cousin?"

  The ghost has a relationship with you, what nonsense are you talking about! Gu Manxin thought to herself, this body is just an eight-year-old little girl, and it's also the first time she's seen this cousin, what kind of relationship could they have? Why is he being so persistent? She thought for a moment, then looked at Lu Hanxuan with some surprise, and smiled: "So, cousin just wanted to find someone to talk to, why not go in? I'm not feeling well, and now I need to return to Mingyue Building, the sisters inside are having a lively time. Cousin shouldn't offend so many female cousins for the sake of one little female cousin."

  He's quite an interesting little guy. Lu Hanxuan gazed at Gu Man with a gloomy expression, coldly looking at her for a moment before slowly reaching out to touch her head, taking the opportunity to sneer: "Cousin-in-law, do you know what it means to be married? I suppose you should understand, after all, you're going to marry me in the future. Why aren't you being nicer to me?"

  How can you bully an eight-year-old little girl like this!

  Gu Man slapped his hand away and burst into loud sobs.

  It didn't matter that she was crying so loudly and without regard for her image, Lu Hanxuan, as calm as he was, was still just a twelve-year-old boy, and he panicked a bit, scolding her: "Stop crying! You're really useless, one sentence can scare you like this!"

  Gu Man ignored him, crying even harder as if she wanted to cry herself to death. Before long, she was indeed gasping for breath, and soon the maids went to report to their masters inside.

  Look at this and shock the adults, Lu Hanxuan became even more annoyed, pointing at Gu Man and threatening: "Cry! If you cry again, I'll beat you to death!"

  Gu Man was very clear about Lu Hanxuan's personality, who was a sheep in front of people but a hungry wolf behind their backs. At this moment, seeing him become violent, she cried even louder, with an extremely wronged expression.

  Lu Hanxuan couldn't help but take two steps forward and pushed Gu Man with force, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground. The gravel was very sharp and immediately scraped off the skin on her hands.

  Pei Yin rushed forward and pushed Lu Hanxuan away, seeing Gu Man's pitiful expression, she couldn't help but choke back tears as she questioned him: "Young Master, what is the meaning of this? Not only did you bully our young lady unscrupulously, but now you've even resorted to violence! Is this really the behavior of a noble young master?"

  The gate of De'an House was suddenly lit up, and it was the maids who were holding lanterns to illuminate the masters at the gate.

  Wang hastily rushed over, embracing Gu Man with one arm and anxiously asked: "What's going on? Weren't you supposed to return to Mingyuelou? How did you end up falling here?"

  Gu Man saw Wang Shi and cried even harder, unable to say a word, and just threw herself into her arms, crying desperately.

  The Wang family suddenly became stern and severe, pointing at Pei Yin: "You tell me! How did your daughter end up like this?"

  Bei Yong's words were like a bombshell, and the eyes of the people present changed slightly.

  Isn't this young master supposed to be elegant and refined? Isn't it said that he wouldn't even squash an ant? How come what I'm hearing doesn't quite match up?

  "Mother!" Wang Shi looked at Gu Lao Tai Tai: "A Man is still young, why must Young Master be so violent? No matter how bad she is, Young Master shouldn't have used force on her!"

  "This is reasonable, Master Young Master, but there's no reason to hit people, Old Lady Gu's face turned gloomy and she shouted: 'Shut up!'"

  Wang was startled and although he still looked at Lu Hanxuan with an unfriendly gaze, he didn't dare say anything more.

  The old lady continued to scold: "Can't you see things clearly? Why are you crying and making a scene? Xia Jiu, your brother is just joking with you, it's sibling affection, why do you take it seriously? You really don't understand."

  Zhen will avoid the heavy and choose the light, Gu Man doesn't say a word, but on her face buried in Wang's bosom is an undisguised sneer.

  "Then what exactly did Young Master Biao say to your sister that made her slap his hand, and even dare to hit her own brother?" asked Old Lady Gu.

  Hit? But our family's girl didn't hit him, Pei Yin somewhat unfairly glared at Lu Hanxuan, and said to the old lady: "Reporting to the old lady, Young Master spoke lightly, but we also heard clearly. Young Master said...". She seemed to have some difficulty continuing, and after a long while, she bit her lip, as if she had steeled herself, and said: "Young Master asked the girl if she understood the meaning of marrying him, he said that in the future, the girl would be marrying him, and told the girl to treat him better!"

  As soon as this was said, even Old Lady Gu frowned, and the calculations that had just been made in Fan Shi's heart were immediately dispelled. What a joke, what good could come of marrying a daughter to such a person?

  Mr. Wang was furious, he stood up and choked his neck in anger: "What is this? ! Is this what a brother should say? Such words... He's lucky to have said it out loud! Please ask the lady to give me an explanation, where did she learn these nonsense words from?”

  The spearhead pointed directly at Gu Yun, and Gu Yun himself saw the disdain and dissatisfaction on the faces of several sisters-in-law. He was also annoyed that his son couldn't calm down, and he couldn't help but scold Lu Hanxuan: "Where did you learn such nonsense? How dare you teach it to your cousin? What happened to the demeanor of a young master? Go back and have your father skin you!"

  Wang's wife was still dissatisfied: "If this gets out, will our Aman's reputation be ruined? No way! Men and women at seven years old shouldn't sit together. In the future, we should keep a distance from Master Biao. Alright, let's set up a small kitchen in Aman's courtyard, so she doesn't have to come to my room for meals every day. For these few days, just stay inside and don't go out!"

  Her attitude was very proper, and her handling of the situation was reasonable. She clearly told everyone that she had no intention of letting the two get married.

  After this incident, the previous plan can be considered a failure. Wang said it so clearly that Lu Hanxuan will probably avoid Gu Man in the future.

  The adults were all lost in thought, but Lu Hanxuan stared at Gu Man with a mixture of distress and suspicion, and even more resentment. Gu Man noticed this and turned back to give him an unkind smile, mouthing "what's wrong?"
