Upon receiving Old Master's orders, Xiao Qiu immediately ran to chase after Chu Junmo.
But she was still a step too late.
"Old Master, Young Master Chu has already left. But before he left, he had already instructed the kitchen to prepare the medicine for Young Master Xiaobei."
Old Master Gu sighed.
Little Mozi was a good person and did his best to treat Xiaobei's illness.
"This child… He left too quickly. Otherwise, I can still entrust him to take care of Qiqi and let Qiqi stay in the Chu family's pharmacy. At the same time, she can also learn some knowledge."
Forget it. He would call Little Mozi later.
"Grandpa, who is Little Mozi?"
Gu Qiqi, who had been silent all this while, couldn't help but ask when she heard that her grandfather was looking for someone to take care of her.
"He was a student from my early years. He studied under me for a period of time and can be considered as my last disciple. However, you were young back then and might not remember. But it's fine. You'll have the chance to meet often in the future…"
While Old Master was speaking, a cold laugh interrupted him.
"Old man, you're really old and stupid! You didn't even think about introducing a talent like Young Master Chu to Yuanyuan and Xuexue, but you actually wanted to let him meet this moron without a mother! Her mother had a short life. Her brother will probably die young and she must have a short life as well. Aren't you afraid of letting down the Chu family's third-generation by introducing such a jinx to the Chu family?!"
The old lady laughed coldly. She looked down on Gu Qiqi from the bottom of her heart.
Gu Qiqi knew in her heart that Grandma didn't like her dead mother, and she also didn't like her and her younger brother. Back then, when she was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, it was actually Grandma and Gu Qiushan who made the decision together.
But she really couldn't tolerate him pointing at her nose and scolding her mother for having a short life!
"Grandma, if you're so worried about other people's family's third generation single heirloom, why don't you marry Gu Yuanyuan and Gu Xuexue over? The probability of giving birth to a son will be doubled. How about just send anyone over who can have a son for the Chu family? Wouldn't that be good? As for me, I'm really not interested in such a family. Grandma doesn't have to consider me." Gu Qiqi said lightly.
Gu Yuanyuan was quite happy when she heard this at first. Who was Chu Junmo?
He was the boss of the Imperial Capital's pharmaceutical world and the chairman of a listed company.
He was rich and handsome. He also had a refined look that was different from ordinary businessmen.
How beautiful!
Of course, she was willing to marry him!
But… what? She asked her and Gu Xuexue to marry him together? And for her to have a son?
Was Gu Qiqi mocking her?
She immediately became furious. "What are you saying?! You're actually so presumptuous in front of Grandma! You're really a country bumpkin who doesn't know the rules! You're already thinking of marrying others off and having sons at such a young age. Do you have any shame?"
Gu Qiqi laughed sarcastically. "Heh heh, I think it was Grandma who said that she wanted sons in the beginning, right? Are you saying that Grandma is shameless?"
This was great. She had kicked the hornet's nest.
Old Madam Gu was furious. "You rude girl. You dare to scold me?"
Gu Meifeng fanned the flames. "Mom, she's used to being ill-mannered like this in Qing Cheng. No matter how patiently Brother Qiushan and I teach her, it won't work. We wanted her to keep a low profile and give the impression of a well-mannered young lady. However, she just doesn't return home at night and goes around seducing men. Didn't you see the news on the Internet previously? She's been taken care of by an old man…"
Gu Xuexue was even more unwilling to fall behind. "Grandma, sister has always been arrogant at home. Don't be angry. Why don't you give in to her?"
Old Madam Gu exploded. "Give in to her?!"
Gu Yuanyuan slammed the table. "Butler Zhao, drive her out. Look at how angry she has made Grandma!"
Old Madam Gu pulled a long face. "Chase her out? How can it be that easy? Who gave her the courage to act so impolitely in front of me? Today, I will use the family laws to let her have a taste. She doesn't know her place!"
Family law?
Upon hearing Old Madam Gu's words, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
In the Gu family's tradition, many of the rules followed the big family rules from the old days.
Their family law included physical punishment!
In Gu Qiqi's case, her punishment would be getting whipped by a sturdy hundred-year-old vine. It would definitely split open her skin and flesh!
Was the old lady going to use this to punish Gu Qiqi?
