PS: Many thanks to Star Picking Steamed Bun and North North Cloud Peak for their gifts.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Gu Tingkun was overjoyed. He knew that his grandmother was usually harmless, but once she was threatened, it was like touching her reverse scale.
Sure enough, Gu Yuehuang was so angry that she laughed. "Good, Yan Shiyi! If I let Swallow Dock escape today, I will be the laughingstock of the Three Realms! " In her anger, she was about to attack. Suddenly, there was the sound of fireworks. They rose around Phoenix Mountain, side by side, as bright as stars.
Bang bang bang bang!
Countless fireworks exploded in the sky. Everyone was shocked, thinking that it was a signal to attack. They all looked up and saw that in the magnificent fireworks, a few words were vaguely formed, impressively:
"Swallow Dock wishes Hall Master Gu a long and prosperous life."
It was not easy for the fireworks to form words. It was limited, but it also showed how much effort was put into it.
Gu Yuehuang was puzzled. She saw a female disciple rush in to report, "Reporting to Hall Master, there is someone outside who claims to be the Chief Steward of Swallow Dock, Li Xiang Jun. She said that she brought the entire Southern Field Manor to congratulate Hall Master on his birthday."
Gu Tingkun's complexion changed. He harshly said, "What Southfield Manor? They are all people from Swallow Dock! Drive them all out! Phoenix Hall is an important place, we cannot allow it to be tarnished by a group of bandits!"
Luo Shuanghe said, "Hall Master, this servant recognizes the people from Southern Field Manor. Why don't you invite them in so I can see them."
"Grandmother, you can't!" Gu Tingkun hurriedly said to Gu Yuehuang, "Who knows what kind of evil plan these vicious bandits have prepared to harm our Phoenix Hall!"
Luo Shuanghe sneered, "Deputy Hall Master, are you feeling guilty?"
Gu Tingkun angrily said, "Nonsense, what nonsense are you talking about? A mere servant dares to falsely accuse me!"
"Big brother," Gu Tingyu suddenly stood up and casually said, "If you invite them in, then let them in. Could it be that the large Phoenix Hall can't hold a few people? It's good that Miss Shuanghe identifies them so that she won't say that we're stirring up trouble and ruining Phoenix Hall's reputation. "
"Second Brother?" Gu Ting Kun was startled. When he met Gu Ting Yu's gaze, he felt more confident in his heart. He nodded and said, "Alright, then please come in and explain things clearly!"
Luo Shuanghe's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they had even calculated this?
Not long after, Li Xiang Jun hurriedly brought a group of maids and nannies to the stage.
"Greetings, Hall Master Gu." She bowed politely.
The maids and old women knelt on the ground and looked at Gu Tingwei with hatred in their eyes. Gu Tingwei simply lay down and pretended to faint.
"Why are you here?" Yan Li asked in surprise.
Li Xiang Jun said, "Young master, after you left, I listened to the people in the manor and found out a lot about the Gu Family. I guessed that things might develop to this point. I was worried, so I made the decision to bring the old people from the Southern Field Manor to testify. When I was at the foot of the mountain, I sensed Mr. First's Immortal Realm aura. I knew something was wrong, so I quickly came in."
"That's great. I didn't think so much when I came here, but you've thought of everything for me. This is like a beauty saving a hero," Yan Li said happily.
Everyone heard Li Xiang Jun's words clearly.
Gu Yuehuang asked Luo Shuanghe, "Do you recognize these people?"
Luo Shuanghe had already looked carefully and nodded, "Yes, all of them. That's Nanny Chang, that's Xiao Xi, that's Xiao Yuan, and Nanny Kong, they're all here!"
"Lady Shuanghe, Lady Shuanghe …"
The one called Nanny Chang cried, "Lady, why do you suddenly not care about the manor? We've been living so hard!"
Luo Shuanghe felt bitter in her heart and said with red eyes, "I care …"
"Shut up, you bitch!" Gu Tingkun suddenly went up and slapped Nanny Chang, "Lady Shuanghe is very busy. Not only does she have to serve grandmother, she also has to manage grandmother's maids and servants. That Southern Field Manor was only slightly negligent, and you've accused her. Do you want her to be blamed by grandmother? I've long heard from Lady Shuanghe that you maids are arrogant and unruly. Now it seems that it's not just that, it's simply insane! "
Nanny Chang trembled on the ground. Originally, she came out of indignation, but this slap reduced half of it.
When Li Xiang Jun heard this, she knew that with her young master's wit, he wouldn't let things develop to this point. She smiled faintly and said, "Vice Palace Master Gu has a glib tongue and a kind heart."
"What did you say?" Gu Tingkun looked over coldly.
"With Vice Palace Master Gu's words, isn't this Nanny Chang here to complain about Lady Shuanghe to the Palace Master?" Li Xiang Jun smiled, "Not only is your mouth clever, but you also have a benevolent heart. You're worried that Lady Shuanghe will be blamed, so your words killed two birds with one stone. You also clarified that it's not that Lady Shuanghe doesn't care about Southern Field Manor, but that her subordinates are unruly and unruly."
"Of course!" Gu Tingkun said coldly.
"I'm innocent!" When Nanny Chang heard this, she realized that they were in the wrong. How could this be? Her suppressed aura immediately rebounded back. Because it was related to her, she cried out even more miserably, "Palace Master, I'm really innocent. We never say no to Lady Shuanghe's orders and do our best to complete them. We never dare to overstep or disrespect her …"
Gu Tingkun finally realized that he had been tricked. His face paled, thinking that this Swallow Fort's Chief Steward was truly powerful. With just a few words, she managed to control him.
"All of you, shut up and speak one by one!" Gu Yuehuang said coldly, "Shuanghe, you've been by this seat's side for more than ten years. There's no reason for me not to believe you. Tell this seat first, are these people all from Southern Field Manor? "
"Yes, this servant dares to use my life to guarantee that it's absolutely true!" Luo Shuanghe said heavily.
Gu Yuehuang then said to Nanny Chang, "Good, you're from Southern Field Manor. Tell me, is it true that the Golden Hook Bandits robbed the manor?"
Nanny Chang said without hesitation, "It's true!"
"Tell me in detail!" Gu Yuehuang said.
Nanny Chang said, "This has been going on for more than half a year. That day, a group of bandits suddenly came. They beat, smashed, killed, and robbed. After that, they didn't leave. They wanted to run the manor, but in the chaos, the entire manor was in a foul atmosphere. After that … "She glanced at Gu Tingwei on the stretcher, trembling with fear.
"What happened after that? Continue!" Gu Yuehuang said.
"After that, Fourth Master came. Those bandits were with him. They even brought a woman called You Qi and gave her the authority to be the head of the manor. This head of the manor never considered for the manor. She thought of ways to sell off the property and exchange it for her personal stash. This servant doesn't know how many shares I got, but it's all there is … "
"Nonsense!" Gu Tingwei struggled to sit up, "You dare slander me for colluding with bandits?"
"Fourth Master, let her speak." Gu Tingyu suddenly walked over and held him down, telling him to calm down. "I would like to see exactly how brilliant this Swallow Dock's Head Supervisor is."
Seeing his second brother so confident, Gu Tingwei finally calmed down.
Gritting her teeth, Granny Chang said, "A few days ago, the head steward went to that woman to ask about the seedlings for winter and requested for some funds. After he was rejected by that woman, he scolded her out of anger and was beaten to death by Fourth Elder Master! This servant came here for no other reason than the Chief Steward's unjust death. If I don't tell the truth, I won't be able to eat or sleep at night! "
"Oh?" Gu Tingyu said, "The rehearsal was very good. This must be what Chief Steward Li told you, right? You're really smart to have predicted this step. You buried a flag in advance and even used fireworks to make grandmother happy. However … "
His tone suddenly turned severe, "My Gu Family's children can't be framed by just anyone. Bring them here! "
His orders were quickly carried out. Several maids and older women were brought in and knelt there.
"Nanny Lin!" When Nanny Chang saw them, she was shocked, "You, why are you here?"
The one called Nanny Lin laughed coldly, "Nanny Chang, you colluded with the Chief Steward of Swallow Fort to make up a story to deceive the Palace Master. Your intentions are deserving of death. If I didn't come, the Palace Master would have been deceived by you!"
She directly knelt in front of the stage and said to Gu Yuehuang, "Palace Master, what they said just now was all made up. This servant heard it with her own ears and dares to swear with my life."
"No, you …" Nanny Chang was stunned.
Li Xiang Jun's expression changed slightly and she couldn't help but look at Yan Li.
"It's fine." Yan Li was still smiling and pulled her behind him.
This action made Li Xiang Jun's heart sink. She knew that Yan Li was worried that she would be hurt. It was clear that he was forced to the point where he had no way out and had to kill his way out.
"We really underestimated …" she said.
"That's right." Yan Li sighed, "I thought that we had come to a phoenix's nest, but who would have thought that it was a tiger's den."
Gu Tingkun coldly smiled and cupped his fists towards Gu Yuehuang, "Grandmother, the truth has been revealed. Please give the order!"
Gu Yuehuang closed her eyes and said, "Everyone, I am truly sorry. Today's banquet will end here. Send the guests out! "
Phoenix Mountain was cleared of people. She opened her eyes again and slowly looked at Yan Shiyi, "This Seat admires you because you are surrounded by beauties and have never been moved. You look casual on the surface, but you actually keep your distance. You are a well-behaved child. If you want to become enemies with this Seat for him, then so be it. It's just a pity for your bones! "
Finished speaking, she was about to make a move.
"That's enough!" Gu Caiwei suddenly shouted.
Gu Yuehuang paused and turned to look, but she was stunned.
Gu Caiwei's bright eyes were filled with heartbroken tears, "Great grandmother, you dote on me, love me, think about me, but you never believed me, not even a single word!"
In Gu Yuehuang's memory, her most beloved great granddaughter had always greeted people with a smile. She had never seen her like this. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous and said, "This, where did this come from?"
Gu Caiwei choked with sobs, "You always thought that I was still a child, without my own ideas. What I said, you always thought that others were trying to trick me. But have you ever thought that I was alone on the Lotus Seat, if I didn't have any ideas, I would have died more than a hundred times! These people used such despicable methods to deal with my friend, and yet you're still helping them! "
She lightly leapt to Yan Li's side, glanced at him, then turned back to Gu Yuehuang, "Great grandmother, in this world, there is no one like Yan Li. In order to give me a chance to choose, he would offend the Emperor of Han. He always used his life to fight for me, to beg for me, but he never asked me for anything in return. Great grandmother … "
She knelt down, "If you want to touch him, then step over my dead body!"
