The old lady shouted exaggeratedly, “Xue Xue, why are you so badly injured? Are you bleeding?”
Gu Xuexue rolled her eyes and said, “Grandma, my wound isn’t important. What’s important is that Grandpa’s antique vase was broken on purpose by her!”
She had a sensible look on his face that said, “I can tolerate it if I’m injured, but I can’t stand her ruining my grandfather’s valuable collection.”
Upon hearing this, the old madam said sternly, “Gu Qiqi, you’re so bold! Don’t you know that that antique vase is our Gu family’s heirloom?! You broke the vase and injured Xuexue. Don’t think about escaping the family law this time. You still have to kneel in the ancestral hall for ten days and ten nights!”
Family law?
Ten days and ten nights?
Not bad, not bad. She was even stricter than she thought.
It was a good opportunity to let Gu Xuexue use it.
The old master was very worried about Gu Qiqi because of the old lady’s aggressive look. He coughed. “It’s just a vase. I’m not that calculative. Don’t scare the child here!”
The old lady glared angrily. “She deserves it! What do you mean scaring her? Don’t even think about protecting her.”
Old Master frowned and was about to say something when Gu Qiqi gently pressed him down. “Grandpa, I’ll do it.”
She turned around.
He said to Gu Xuexue, “You said that I’m bullying you. What’s my motive?”
Gu Xuexue’s eyes flickered. “You… You can’t stand me greeting Gong Jue and are jealous of me…”
“I have an engagement with Gong Jue and Mu Liuchuan. I have to get rid of one of these two people. It’s very troublesome. Do you think I have the time to be jealous of others?”
Gu Qiqi overthrew this unstable motive with just one sentence.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Gu Xuexue gnashed her teeth. She knew that a lie had to be mixed with some truth in order to be more believable. Thus, she changed her strategy. “You… You even slapped me. You slapped me to the ground! This is all real…”
Gu Xuexue complained coquettishly.
Yes, the slap was real.
But…
“Stop fooling around. A slap can knock a person to the ground? Gu Xuexue, I’ll take it that you’re worshiping me and exaggerating my valor.” Gu Qiqi said lightly.
Everyone looked over.
“Gu Xuexue’s cheeks are of a normal color. There’s no palm mark at all.”
“If she slapped her to the ground with such force, her face would at least be swollen.”
“This Gu Xuexue is too good at lying…”
“She’s a liar. Before the birthday banquet started just now, when she gave Old Master a gift, wasn’t that gift of hers fake…”
Upon hearing everyone’s discussion, Gu Xuexue’s face turned even paler.
She couldn’t help but reach out and touch her face.
It was so painful that she felt as if a layer of skin had been torn off. How could she not be red and swollen?
Was everyone blind?
The little dirty turtle secretly slipped past her and laughed coldly in disdain. “You aren’t worthy of my master’s martial strength! Master Silver can completely control the strength of her attacks. It can let you have superficial wounds or internal injuries!”
Gu Xuexue’s current condition was the worst internal injury.
It couldn’t be seen that she was beaten on the surface, but the organization under her skin had already been injured. In time, it would definitely reflect on her appearance!
But at this moment, nothing could be seen. Even if the pain was excruciating, everything was normal!
At the scene, no one believed that Gu Xuexue was beaten.
Gu Xuexue was sweating profusely from anxiety, but she had no way of explaining it.
For the first time in her life, she experienced despair that no one would believe even if she cracked her lips!
Gu Qiqi looked at her coldly.
She deserved it!
