Chapter 52 Being Bullied at the Doorstep
Following the high-pitched roar of the fifth uncle of the Gu clan, Gu Hua squeezed into the crowd and saw his own chief steward, Gu Fu, leading all the servants in the mansion, confronting the people from the Gu clan.

Several servants nearby were oppressing Gu Yuming and Qiu Ju, the maid who was a traitor and betrayed her master and was driven out by herself.

Gu Fu's eyes were firm, and he said, "I believe the master will come back."

The third uncle, who was pretending to be deep, gave a look to the person brought, and immediately a young man was pushed out.

When Gu Hua saw the young man who was pushed out with an unnatural expression on his face, he remembered that he was a servant of the Gu family who was picked out this time to transport goods to the northern border.

Third uncle's son Gu Jitang no longer pretended to be a good guy like usual. He said to the young man, "Tell us everything you know, so that these servants who are still waiting for their master to come back will give up."

Young servant: "The mistress of the family disappeared inexplicably in Saibei. I heard that she died in Saibei. Guard Mu is leading people to search for her body and plan to bring it back for burial.

We encountered a bully in the northern frontier. If it weren’t for the Chen family’s eldest son who happened to pass by there on business and brought us back, I’m afraid we would have died in that bitter cold place in the northern frontier and would never have been able to return.”

Gu Hua: “…” I was just told to death like this.

Daguiqi clenched his fists and trembled. This man was chosen by him in the beginning, but now he stabbed his master in the back. He was so angry that he wanted to go up and hit him.

"Erhu, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You actually betrayed the Gu family and the head of the family. I think you are just asking for a fight."

"Dagui, come back." The butler knew that taking action at this time would only cause chaos and would not help solve the current problem.

"Dad." Dagui gritted his teeth unwillingly, "The old master and the young master are very kind to us servants, how could he betray the Gu family."

"His indenture is still in the Gu family. As long as the master of the family comes back, those servants who betrayed the Gu family will have nothing to worry about."

The chief steward Gu Fu looked at the servants of the Gu family who were standing on one side and unwilling to take a stand in the confrontation with the Gu clan. Among them were one or two servants of the Gu family, the Liu family who was in charge of kitchen purchases and the Wang family who was considered the second steward of the mansion.

Gu Hua was in the crowd and saw all of this.

Looking at the group of servants of the Gu family who kept their distance from the servants led by Gu Fu, Gu Hua curled the corners of his mouth and revealed a sneer. After this incident, it was time to clean up some of the servants in the mansion.

"Gu Fu, if you don't let us take over the Gu Mansion, we won't be polite." Fifth Uncle: "And let Ming'er go, your master is dead.

The Gu Mansion should have been taken over by the clan. He brought people into the mansion last night to take some things, which can no longer be considered theft. It was ordered by me, the clan elder."

"That's right. Gu Hua has died in Saibei. Everything in the Gu Mansion now belongs to the clan. Everyone, stop arguing with these servants. They can just barge in and take whatever they see. Do they have the guts to kill us?"

The anxious person in the Gu clan started clamoring to lead the way into the mansion.

"Close the door quickly." Gu Fu hurriedly led the servants and maids to guard the gate of the Gu Mansion tightly to prevent them from breaking in and stealing things.

Just when Gu Hua was about to show up and teach the Gu family a lesson on how to behave, he heard a loud shout, followed by a violent cough.

"stop."

"Cough cough cough-"

The fourth grandfather of the fourth room, Gu Mingdong, had a red face from coughing. His body was trembling as he was supported by his son Gu Jiqing as he walked into a path that was cleared by everyone.

"Gu Lao San, Gu Lao Wu, I'm not dead yet.

Not to mention that our fourth and sixth branches have been forced by you to leave our family and set up our own clan.

Even if we didn't leave our family, since Gu Hua's grandfather and I are brothers, and Ji Qing and Gu Hua's father Ji Chang are cousins, it's my turn to take over the Gu Mansion, not yours. " "Humph." Fifth uncle snorted coldly: "Gu Lao Si, you coward."

“If it weren’t for Gu Jichang’s promising nephew who donated a lot of money to the clan every year, do you think you could still occupy the position of elder? You are nothing in the clan.

Now I want to take the biggest share here and take all the property of the six rooms for myself, and I am not afraid that my greed will choke you to death."

"You you you... cough cough cough..." The fourth grandfather of the fourth room coughed violently in anger.

"My grandfather became seriously ill after hearing that Gu Hua was missing in Saibei and her whereabouts were unknown. He is unlike you, a bunch of ruthless people who only care about her property."

Gu Chen walked into the crowd with a tired face, his eyes cold and he looked with contempt at the Gu family members who wanted to steal things.

Third Uncle: "As long as Gu Hua dies, our Gu family will not watch her family's property being swallowed up by your fourth family."

Third Uncle originally wanted to take over the Gu Mansion and pick out the rest for himself, and then let other members of the clan snatch away the mansions of the six branches of the Gu family who dared to confront him. After that, even if Gu Hua didn't die and came back to report to the government, one member of the clan would take responsibility, so what could she do to herself?

Now that the fourth branch of the Gu family has appeared, the third uncle has to change his mind. No matter what, it doesn’t matter whether the fourth branch or the sixth branch has left the clan or not.

As long as the fourth brother, who is a biological brother of Gu Hua's grandfather, is still alive, and as long as he is tough and really takes the lead, he and the fifth brother will never be able to monopolize most of the Gu family's property.

It would be better to let the tribesmen go in and steal things. They can get a lot of benefits by bringing more people with them, and vent their anger at the same time.

"We are all members of the Gu family. After the death of the sixth roommate Gu Hua, everyone has a share of the things inside. Go in quickly and take them."

When the people of the Gu family heard what Third Uncle said, they were like chicken blood being injected, and rushed towards the gate of the Gu Mansion.

Gu Hua's eyes turned cold, and he retracted his steps that were about to step forward to stop them. He approached Qi Yan and whispered something to him. Seeing Qi Yan nod, he left the crowd.

Qi Yan walked out of the crowd and came to Butler Fu, took out a jade pendant that Gu Hua had given him, and then the two of them leaned close and whispered a few words. Soon the door of the Gu Mansion was rushed in by the Gu family.

When Gu Hua rode his horse to the silk shop and found Su Fuying, he was also confronting a group of local thugs who were smashing up the shop with a few of his shop assistants.

Because of the disparity in numbers, Su Fuying and several of his men had obvious bruises on their faces.

Gu Hua did not immediately step forward to help. She looked up at the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street and found that many of the people watching the fun were wealthy businessmen from Jiangzhou City.

What is there to not understand? It seems that during the time she was away, anyone could step on the Gu family's shop.

If it wasn't bad luck that someone died in front of her own shop, Gu Hua would have let this group of thugs stain the streets with blood to welcome her today, and let the people who bribed them behind the scenes see whether her Gu family would allow others to bully them.

Just when Su Fuying and his men were fighting hard to protect the silk fabrics from the thugs, he was about to be unable to hold on with his own fists.

Then I heard, "Bang, bang, bang..."

There was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground one after another.

"Crack." The sound of broken bones.

"Ahhhh..." a scream.

Su Fuying turned her head sideways and looked in surprise at a man with a stern aura, standing tall and straight at the door of the shop against the light, breaking the wrist of a gangster under his feet.
