Chapter 220 Can Be Counted Off

Upon hearing this, Master Gu Liu said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Third sister-in-law is not that kind of person."

The servant muttered, "I heard someone in the mansion say so."

Master Gu Liu said, "The root of the problem lies with the woman surnamed Zhao. She has a vicious mind. Didn't you hear that the box she brought from the northern frontier contained clothes used by smallpox patients? She has evil intentions and will do bad things as long as her wishes are not followed."

The servant glanced at Mr. Gu Liu's expression and changed his tone.

"I just said something crazy because I was happy at the moment. Who asked them to bully the two young masters? They deserve to be kicked out."

Master Gu Liu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go over and take a look."

When they walked to the second door, they saw Gu Jinghui with a dark face and cold air coming out of his whole body, scolding Cheng Ge'er.

Qin Yuan stood aside and watched with his hands folded.

Yu Jie'er kept sobbing and occasionally hiccuping.

Gu Jingjun bowed to Qin Yuan and said, “Third sister-in-law, this is…?”

Qin Yuan returned the greeting, "Sixth brother, you came at the right time. Your third brother was angry. Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er were curious about what the princess looked like and wanted to sneak over to take a look, but were stopped by the servants. Cheng Ge got angry and beat them up."

Gu Jingjun asked: "Where is the servant?"

Qin Yuan said: "He has been taken to Doctor Li for treatment."

Gu Jingjun sighed and said, “I didn’t expect Cheng Ge’er to be so tough.”

Qin Yuan glanced at the crying Yu Jie'er and said, "It's not just him, there's also this little helper."

This pair of twins, one holds the other tightly and the other punches and kicks, they can be said to be a united group of brothers and sisters.

The servant didn't dare to hurt them, so he was inevitably restrained.

Qin Yuan was really unhappy about this.

Gu Jingjun thought to himself that when his two sons were fighting with the twins, they were not beaten too badly because of the servants who intervened.

He looked at Cheng Ge'er, the little boy, his silk clothes a little messy, his two fists clenched tightly, his eyes fierce, like the cub of a ferocious beast.

Lord Gu scolded angrily: "Haven't I taught you before that you can't hurt people at will and can't be harsh on servants? The ancestors of the servants in this mansion have followed the ancestors of the Gu family to the battlefield. They are members of the Gu family. Even if they are not servants, they can't be beaten for no reason. Who is not born by parents? You should be beaten by your master for serving others?"

Cheng Ge'er lowered his head, clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Lord Gu was even more angry: "Didn't the old lady say that we can't just barge in when the princess comes to the mansion? How come you two are the only ones in the mansion who want to see the princess? How did you get out?"

Yu Jie'er cried out "wow".

Qin Yuan stood aside indifferently, not wanting to coax her.

What these two children did is really a headache.

Lord Gu did not try to coax Yu Jie'er as usual, but just stared at Cheng Ge'er, waiting for his answer.

After a long while, Cheng Ge'er finally choked up and said, "They wouldn't stop me before. But now they look down on me and bully me because I'm not the real master of the mansion."

Yu Jie'er cried even more sadly.

Lord Gu choked up. He understood what Cheng Ge'er said. The two children had been suffering in their hearts these days, and today they exploded when they were stopped.

Lord Gu couldn't help feeling distressed and couldn't scold him any more.

Mr. Gu Liu snorted in disdain, but did not interrupt.

Qin Yuan said patiently, "Brother Cheng, Sister Yu, do you know what kind of reprimand your foster father will receive if the princess is offended? I arranged for someone to guard the second gate to prevent someone from rushing out without knowing the situation and offending the princess."

Cheng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er knew about it.

The servant stopped them with the order of the mistress of the house.

Cheng Ge'er had nothing to say. He lowered his head and tears fell down.

Qin Yuan continued, "Why is the palace so serious? It's because smallpox has not been eradicated yet and they want to prevent the princess from getting it. Why did you have to come out to see the princess at this time? Cheng Ge'er has understood the situation and should know the seriousness of the matter. Why didn't Xiaohong and Rong Mama keep an eye on you? How did you get out?"

Cheng Ge'er's body trembled slightly. He just lowered his head, his cheeks puffed up, and said nothing.

Lord Gu stared at Sister Yu with sharp eyes, "Sister Yu, you are more obedient than your brother, so you go first."

Yu Jie'er stopped crying and sobbed, "My brother and I just wanted to see what the princess looked like and what kind of clothes she wore. I thought my stepmother's hair accessories were so beautiful, so the princess's must be even more beautiful. When we got to the second gate, we were stopped by someone. No matter what we said, we refused to confess. They also said that if we continued to make trouble here, they would tie us up and send us to the marquis to be beaten with a stick. We got angry."

This sounds reasonable. The two of them were loved and pampered by the Marquis, and it was hard for them to accept the way the servants treated them suddenly.

Lord Gu finally softened his heart and ordered two maids to take them back to the upper room.

Qin Yuan frowned slightly.

Master Gu Liu said unhappily, "Third brother, we in the Gu family are not so careless in educating our children. You can't indulge them just because they are adopted sons. Unless you send them out of the house, otherwise if you spoil them like this, Third Sister-in-law won't be able to control them in the future, and they will become troublemakers when they grow up."

He already has children. What good can it do to compete with this pair of twins?

Lord Gu glanced at Qin Yuan and whispered, "I, I, I don't want to indulge them."

Qin Yuan asked: "Then you plan to send them out of the house?"

Lord Gu said: "They are so young, and they don't have an adult..."

The father’s family is unknown, the mother’s whereabouts are unknown, and this pair of twins, a boy and a girl, are only five years old. How can they survive if they are sent out of the house?
Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "There is no rush for this matter. We have to wait until the government is established before discussing it."

Lord Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Liuye said, "Third sister-in-law, how can you not be anxious? These two children are getting older day by day, and there must be some rules. They usually like to bully my two children. Now that they are sealed up in the mansion, it is relatively quiet. I don't know what trouble they will cause when they get together. Will Third Brother take care of it then?"

Lord Gu glared at Lord Gu Liu.

Qin Yuan sighed and said, "I am in a hurry to go back and draft a memorial. These two children...you should discuss it with the Marquis first. But how did these two children escape and why did they escape? The Marquis should pay more attention to them."

Gu Jinghui looked gloomy and said, "I'll ask Sixteen to go over and take a look."

Qin Yuan said no more, nodded, and left.

Gu Jingjun said without showing any emotion, “Third brother spoils these two children too much. You become soft-hearted whenever they cry or make a fuss. You are so spoiled. Zhao Shi did such a thing and almost brought disaster to our Gu family. Even if her husband has done you a great favor, she has offset it by doing this.”

Lord Gu's expression became even uglier.

Gu Jingjun continued fearlessly, “These two kids didn’t remember how good you were to them. If it weren’t for Third Sister-in-law’s foresight, they would have run away in such a big event today. Do you know what they are planning? What will they do?”
