Having said these words, Gu Zhenkang flung his sleeves, suggesting that those men could bring her away.
The officers thanked him.
It was always very difficult to get the suspect from home. They had thought that they would experience hardship, yet it worked out more smoothly than they had never expected.
It seemed that this Miss of the mansion was not at all worthy.
The officers who took her all the way to the Government Office not only scolded her but also lectured her, since they understood what status she was in.
However, Gu Chaoyan threw no temper, just frowned.
It was not until they reached the Government Office that they met the chief.
The chief was a fat man with large ears. Seeing the woman standing in front of him, he snorted at Gu Chaoyan. “So you are the Miss of the Gu Family, the so-called ugliest girl of the entire city? But you don’t look that ugly at all.” He reached out his chubby hand, intending to touch Gu Chaoyan’s face. Gu Chaoyan glared back at him lethally. “Don’t you ever dare touch me!”
The fat chief withdrew his hand uneasily. His heart was itching, as he saw a fair-skinned lady of a family, totally obvious that he should not conduct such a thing.
He let out some dry laughter. “Look at you, wild girl. Do you really think you are the Miss of the mansion?”
He said to his staff, “Get her in the prison, and do not feed her anything.”
“Okay.”
The fat chief snorted, then left.

At the Qiong Pavilion.
Seeing the staff from the Government Office taking Chaoyan away, Chen Fu went to tell Qing back at the Qiong Pavilion, feeling unassured.
Hearing the words, Qing sprang up and shouted, “What? The staff from the Government Office took Miss?! No one from the Gu Mansion stopped them?”
“…”Chen Fu was silent.
Qing paced back and forth anxiously. She finally understood that people from the Gu Mansion were not reliable at all.
What was she going to do?!
After thinking for a long while, Qing finally recalled the Lin Family.
She stomped her feet. “I am going to the Lin Family!”
Then she dashed off.
Seeing the scene, Chen Fu did not stop her, but went to attend his own matters. He left the girl alone at the mercy of God.
Qing walked very fast. As she was about to walk out of the mansion, she bumped into Madame Gu who had just come home.
Seeing that it was Madame Gu standing in front of her, Qing got so excited as if she had seen a hero. After all, Madame Gu had been treating Miss well during the past few days. She kneeled down on the ground and said to Madame Gu. “Madame Gu, you have to save Miss!”
Madame Gu got excited. What had happened in the short interval when she was away?
Gu Zhenkang happened to be receiving his mother when he saw Qing who was on her knees. He gave her a kick. “Bitch, how dare you stop Madame Gu!”
Madame Gu did not care how Qing was doing, but she was curious what happened. “What is it going on?”
“Of course it is the ugly girl’s wrong doing! She hit the Prince yesterday and Madame Duke Changning reported her! The staff of the Government Office came to bring her away!” Gu Zhenkang said nonchalantly, feeling somehow glad.
“What?”!
Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruxue laughed as they heard the words. Mrs. Gu said, “Serves her right! How dare she hit the Prince! She set up Ruxue back at the court, and I don’t think that she should be kept in our mansion any more!”
Having said these words, Mrs. Gu looked at Madame Gu.
She was worried that Madam Gu would interfere with this matter, so she added. “Madame Duke Changning must be very angry if she reported to the government. She doesn’t even care that our two families are soon to be united! If we do anything about it, Ruxue’s marriage would be affected.”
“Madame Gu, it is not Miss’ fault!” Qing looked at Madame Gu with a persistent look.
Madame Gu threw a look at Qing.
