“Second sister-in-law, I’ve already completed a lot. Can we finish the rest after we go back to Lingyue Manor?” Gu Jinxi asked hopefully.
“No, you can’t,” Lu Miao firmly refused.
Gu Jinxi reluctantly picked up his homework and returned to the table to continue.
Lu Miao glanced at Gu Xingyu, realizing that she was causing trouble everywhere, with an increasingly volatile temper. It seemed that the influence of the doll on her was becoming stronger.
She turned around and remained silent.
After dinner was prepared, the servants came to call them downstairs to eat. Just as they had started eating, Gu Ziheng, looking dusty, entered behind Gu Shiyan.
Gu Shiyan stepped forward, glanced at Lu Miao, and greeted Grandma Gu,
“Grandma.”
“Grandma,” Gu Ziheng echoed from behind, scanning the room before quickly sitting down on the other side of Lu Miao.
Gu Shiyan looked at his two brothers sitting on either side of Lu Miao. His brothers had grown up, and it seemed that they should all be sent away.
Grandma Gu sat at the head of the table, with Gu Xingyu and Shen Qinghe sitting on the left side.
Gu Jinxi, Lu Miao, and Gu Ziheng sat on the right side, forming a protective barrier around Lu Miao.
Gu Shiyan had no choice but to turn around and sit next to Gu Ziheng.
Grandma Gu glanced over at them from the head of the table and set down her utensils. “What’s the rush to come back? Am I that afraid of mistreating her?” The atmosphere at the dining table instantly became stagnant.
Gu Ziheng smiled and spoke, “Grandma, why would you mistreat Second Sister-in-law? Both Second Brother and I missed Grandma, so we hurried back.”
“In that case, stay a few more days and accompany me.”
Grandma Gu casually said a sentence and didn’t say anything more.
After dinner, Lu Miao was about to say goodbye to Shen Qinghe and leave.
Grandma Gu directly called out to Auntie Xiu, who was tidying up the table. “Auntie Xiu, you’ve been with the Gu family for about thirty years, right?”
Auntie Xiu looked up nervously, not knowing why but honestly replied, “It’s been thirty-one years.”
“Take one year’s salary as compensation, and you may leave,” Grandma Gu stated directly.
Tears welled up in Auntie Xiu’s eyes instantly. “Madam, did I do something wrong?
Grandma Gu looked at her and said, “Our Gu family doesn’t need disloyal people.”
In the afternoon, she had deliberately sent Shen Qinghe away, then brought Lu Miao home. First, it was Shen Qinghe, then Gu Jinxi, and even Gu Ziheng and Gu Shiyan hurried back from the capital.
It couldn’t be just a coincidence. The only possibility was that someone had informed them.
In this house, someone who had a good relationship with all of them, yet had the audacity to do such a thing, could only be Auntie Xiu.
Auntie Xiu instantly understood. Grandma Gu must have guessed that she had sent them the message and considered her disloyal.
She had been with the Gu family for decades and understood what kind of person Grandma Gu was.
Although she wasn’t an unreasonable and wicked mother-in-law like those in TV dramas, she did have strong methods and considerable authority.
Even when Shen Qinghe first entered the Gu family, she had been disciplined several times.
She sent Shen Qinghe away and brought Lu Miao back, making it clear that she intended to discipline Lu Miao.
When Lu Miao was around, she had always treated her well. She was worried that Lu Miao was too young and could not handle it, so she sent them a message in a hurry.
She thought that as long as one of them came back, they could help Lu Miao.
The message was indeed sent by her. From Grandma Guts point of view, she was indeed the one who betrayed her and was unfaithful to her.
She nodded and bowed deeply to Grandam Gu and Shen Qinghe.
“Thank you for taking care of me for so many years. I don’t have anything to repay you with. I won’t be receiving this year’s compensation salary. Please take care in the future.”
Shen Qinghe quickly pleaded,” Mom, no matter what Ah Xiu did wrong, she has been diligent in the Gu family for so many years. Ah Yan and the others are used to her cooking.
If you suddenly chase her away, it will be difficult to find a suitable candidate in a short period of time.
Why don’t you just fine her a few days ‘salary and calm her down?”
“Habits can be changed. It’s good to change to a new taste occasionally. I think It’S gooa tnat tney’re moving OUt now ana not eating at nome.” oranama ou raised her eyes and swept her gaze over them.
She was obviously expressing her dissatisfaction with them for moving out with Lu Miao.
Shen Qinghe smiled and tried to smooth things over.” Mom, even if they move out, they are still the descendants of the Gu family. They will have to come back eventually.
Moreover, Ah Yan and Ziheng were not home every day. Now, they came back much more frequently than before.
With Auntie Xiu taking care of them, I can rest assured.”
“That’s right, Grandma. After the show in Beijing is over, I’ll definitely come back often.
It’s too troublesome to change helpers and have to get used to us again.”Gu Ziheng chimed in.
“What’s wrong? I don’t even have the right to fire a servant in the Gu family?”
Grandma Gu said coldly,” Or is it that in your eyes, my words are useless?”
Since things had come to this, Auntie Xiu didn’t dare to stay any longer.”
Madam, thank you for pleading for me. There’s really no need.”
After greeting them, she quickly turned around and went back to her room to pack her things.
Lu Miao’s eyes also dimmed.
Grandma Gu did not do anything to her. Asking her to refill the lamp oil was not even considered a punishment, but she had punished the old servant for decades in front of her.
This was clearly a warning to the other servants in the house to see clearly who was the real master of the Gu family.
In case someone did something to please her in the future.
It was also a warning to her to behave herself and not have any other thoughts.
In the end, everything that happened today was because of her.
If it were anyone else, she would not have tolerated it. However, Grandma Gu was Gu Shiyan and Gu Jinxi’s grandmother after all. She could not fall out with her directly, nor could she do anything.
She got up and greeted Shen Qinghe,” Aunt Shen, thank you for dinner. I still have something to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”
After saying that, she couldn’t be bothered to care about the reactions of the others. He turned around and left.
Gu Shiyan tidied up his cufflinks and was about to get up to greet her and follow her.
Grandma Gu said,” Ah Yan, the newly picked tea leaves from Auntie Wu have been sent over. Help me brew a pot. There was Changbai mountain spring in the cold storage, which was the most suitable for making tea. Use that set of white jade cups.”
Gu Shiyan’s hands paused.
Gu Ziheng stood up.”Grandma…”
‘ You, Second Brother, are going to make tea. You’re coming over to play chess with me.” Grandma Gu interrupted him.
‘ Second sister-in-law went out alone. It was late at night and it was not easy to hail a taxi outside the Gu residence.” He was really a little worried. Gu Ziheng braced himself and said, “I…’
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you miss me and come back to accompany me, or did you just say that to make me happy?” Grandma Gu looked at him.
“Of course not.” Gu Ziheng had no choice but to swallow his words and turn to the other side to get the chessboard..
