Using the Centennial Old Vine to whip Gu Qiqi?
Old Master Gu was the first to object. "No! I don't agree! Do you still treat me as the family head? How presumptuous!"
Qiqi was a stubborn child, but she wasn't going to be punished by the family law.
If that vine landed on her, forget about the laceration of skin and flesh, if it accidentally struck her face… it would be ruined!
Old Matriarch snorted coldly. "Old man, no one said that you aren't the family head. But the family rules are written in black and white. Outside the family, the title deed to the Tian Residence, the smell of ink, books, and the salary are all yours to manage. But this matter of the inner residence is mine to manage! I still have this bit of authority to discipline an unruly granddaughter, right?!"
Although Old Madam's words were unpleasant, there was nothing wrong with them.
Although the old master was very unwilling, he couldn't refute her at this moment.
Coupled with Gu Meifeng, Gu Yuanyuan, and Gu Xuexue quarreling non-stop, he had a splitting headache.
Butler Zhao quickly found the thick vines.
Just now, he had been reprimanded by Gu Qiqi at the door until his face flushed red. Now, he was waiting to see Gu Qiqi get beaten to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"Old Zhao, you execute it!"
Old Madam seemed to have seen through Steward Zhao's thoughts and gave the order.
Steward Zhao smiled insincerely and raised the vine. "Young Lady Qiqi, please kneel down and accept your punishment!"
Gu Qiqi raised her small face and looked at him coldly.
It was really ridiculous.
In her previous life, she was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. In this life, she was punished to be whipped by the vines.
The Gu family in the Imperial Capital was really incompatible with her. Once she stepped into this house, she would suffer a calamity.
"You're not allowed to hit my sister! My sister didn't do anything wrong! You… You're too unreasonable!" Gu Xiaobei was anxious. He couldn't see, so he fumbled forward and tried to stop them.
Gu Yuanyuan, who was standing behind Gu Qiqi, was already tired of waiting. She pushed Gu Xiaobei to the side and kicked him forward with her high heels. "I told you to kneel down and receive punishment. Didn't you hear me?"
Just as she was about to kick her and take revenge for that fall just now…
She didn't expect to miss!
She didn't even see how Gu Qiqi moved. Anyway, she shifted her position in that instant. In the end, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
How could Steward Zhao have expected such a change? The vine in his hand fell just in time and landed on Gu Yuanyuan's buttocks!
"Ouch!"
Gu Yuanyuan was given a solid beating!
But Gu Qiqi was still standing coolly by Old Master Gu's side. She was holding onto Gu Xiaobei and was unharmed.
What a joke! I'm not stupid. Am I going to wait for a beating on the spot?
The scene became even more chaotic.
"Yuanyuan, how are you?"
"Grandma, I knew that she was extremely cunning. Look!"
"She actually still dares to hide! She's revolting!"
"Quick, hold that little b*tch down. I don't believe that I can't beat her to death!"
The Zhao couple and even Gu Meifeng took action. They wanted to suppress Gu Qiqi together and swear to carry out the family law to the end.
Just as everyone gathered to attack…
The study room door was suddenly knocked open.
"Old Master, a guest came to visit. He said that he had an appointment with you." Auntie Qiu stood at the door and reported.
She felt uneasy. In the past, guests would always wait in the living room.
But as soon as this guest entered, he instructed her to lead him into the study room without a word.
She was actually unable to resist at all.
This man's aura was too strong. Every word he said seemed to be an order that no one dared to disobey!
"What guest?! Can't you see that we're executing the family law? Bring the guest to the living room and wait!" The old madam said in annoyance.
However…
The man's long legs had already crossed the threshold.
His tall and cold figure forcefully entered everyone's vision.
His tone was cold and unquestionable. "I'm sorry, but I don't have the habit of waiting for someone!"
