When the city lord saw Gu Qingxi coming in, a smile appeared on his serious face: "I have already punished your brother today. Your brother was spoiled by his mother. Don't take it to heart."
The younger brother mentioned by the city lord is naturally the youngest son of the city lord and the only son of the current city lord’s wife.
As for why the city lord said these things, the thing is like this.
When Gu Qingxi just returned to the city lord's mansion, the fat young master had the biggest reaction. After the city lord turned around and left, he ran to Gu Qingxi's residence and smashed it, yelling at Gu Qingxi to get out. This was not Gu Qingxi's home.
The city lord's wife came to take the young master away without saying a word of apology. Apparently she thought her youngest son was right.
Gu Qingxi was tired of the twists and turns of the house fight, and she didn't bother to deal with this naughty child and his parents. To her, all conspiracies and calculations are nothing in the face of absolute strength!
So, she went directly to the naughty child's residence and leveled the naughty child's yard. The young master was so frightened that he sat in front of the collapsed house in disgrace, crying with tears and runny nose. He kept calling his mother, and then was beaten by Gu Qingxi again.
The city lord's wife came running after hearing this and wanted to take action against Gu Qingxi. Is the city lord's wife even at the third level of Qi refining worthy of challenging Gu Qing? Gu Qingxi beat her up without saying a word. The beating made her whole face look like a pig's head. That night, the city lord's wife hid in the house and refused to see anyone.
Ta Ling: ...What else can he say? Should I say he is worthy of being a destined person? Fierce enough, powerful enough? !
Gu Qingxi didn't care about this. The tower spirit didn't say anything to stop her behavior, which meant that it had no impact on the mission. It doesn't matter, just go ahead and do it!
And what about Ancestor Wanling? When Gu Qingxi was beating the naughty child, he was hypocritically advising: "Oh, girl, you spanked too hard. After all, he is now your younger brother. Spank the butt, there is a lot of flesh there, so use hard, then Kick me, yes!"
When beating the city lord's wife, Wanling Ancestor shouted even more vigorously: "She doesn't know whether to hit someone in the face or not? She actually wants to slap you when she comes up. Hit her back, hard, yes, just slap her. Face. Once on the left, once on the right, twice on the left, twice on the right..."
Gu Qingxi: ...At this time, Gu Qingxi believed that the ancestor of Wanling was indeed a demon cultivator.
Gu Qingxi's brother and sister, however, became as quiet as chickens after seeing Gu Qingxi's ferocity.
The busy city lord only learned the news on the second day, and then hurriedly summoned Gu Qingxi back.
Some people in the mansion thought that the city lord wanted to raise an army to investigate the crime, but it turned out that was not the case at all.
The Lord of the City comforted Gu Qingxi and had people put new furnishings in Gu Qingxi's house, which were better and more expensive.
The Lord City Lord cared about Gu Qingxi for a while in the study room before letting her go.
After returning to Gu Qingxi's own yard, Gu Qingxi asked everyone to retreat and entered the house herself. After a while, Ye Wuchen came in from the window.
"Is there anything unusual?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"On the surface, he seems to be a good father who wants to make up for his daughter. His daughter has been away from him all year round and ignored him. To suddenly bring him back and treat him well is very abnormal in itself." Gu Qingxi replied.
"Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion respects the City Lord." Ye Wuchen said in a deep voice.
"More than that. The people in the entire city respect and love the city lord. When mentioning the city lord, they all praise him, saying that the city lord is good at charity and dedicated to the people. During the holidays, he will also give out gifts to the city residents. Although it is just some rice and meat, but for mortals For me, this is the most affordable thing." Gu Qingxi added in detail.
"Do you suspect that there are not good people in this city?" Ye Wuchen heard Gu Qingxi's words and immediately understood the hidden meaning of her words.
"He is really so kind. Why has he ignored his little daughter for so many years and left him to fend for himself in the village. He suddenly brought him back two days ago. He treated him kindly and was dressed and treated in the best way. This attracted the attention of the current president. The wife of the city lord and her son came to trouble with jealousy and were beaten into pieces by me. The city lord did not blame me, but came to comfort me and reward me." Gu Qingxi raised her eyebrows, "Don't you think this is like the last sumptuous supper? ?"
"He wants to use you for something. The price is your life." Ye Wuchen's eyes turned cold, "I will go to the city lord's study to check it out tonight."
"Farewell." Gu Qingxi stopped her.
"Why?" Ye Wuchen frowned slightly, "Or is there another truth?"
"No, you are just a weakling mortal now. Go to the study, I'm afraid you will be slapped to death by the city lord as soon as you reach the door." Gu Qingxi shrugged.
Ye Wuchen: "..." He forgot that he was a mortal now.
"Are you calling Ta Ling a bastard in your heart?" Gu Qingxi asked.
Ye Wuchen: "...No."
Gu Qingxi glanced at Ye Wuchen, obviously not believing what he said.
"When the city lord leaves the mansion tomorrow, I will check around the mansion." Gu Qingxi said.
"City Lord Jindan, you build the foundation." Ye Wuchen reminded him concisely.
"I am the second young lady who has just returned to the City Lord's Mansion. I am ignorant of etiquette, arrogant and rude, and can also fight. If anyone stops me, the City Lord's wife and young master will suffer the consequences." Gu Qingxi bared her teeth and said fiercely.
Ye Wuchen: "..."
Early the next morning, the city lord went out. It was said that Weifang collapsed in the west of the city. He wanted to check and decide how to rebuild the house.
"It sounds like he really is a good city lord who is devoted to the people, right?" Gu Qingxi said to Ye Wuchen while walking in the back garden of the city lord's mansion.
Gu Qingxi asked all the maids and other guards to retreat, then asked Ye Wuchen to accompany him, and began to investigate the city lord's mansion.
"At present, it is indeed true." Ye Wuchen returned.
"Let's see if there is a secret room or something in the city lord's mansion. What if the city lord hides the secret in it?" Gu Qingxi walked to the rockery in the back garden and broke the stones back and forth against the rockery.
"What are you doing?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"Let's see if there is any mechanism to open the secret room or something." Gu Qingxi replied.
"Little sister, what are you doing here?" As soon as Gu Qingxi finished speaking, a man's voice came.
Gu Qingxi turned around and saw the eldest son of the city lord standing not far away, watching them.
"Walking in the garden." Gu Qingxi said casually.
"Little sister, it's not me, the elder brother, who blames you. You just returned to the city lord's palace and you brought back a man of unknown origin to be your bodyguard. Now you are still alone with him in private. This is to your honor..." Before the eldest young master finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Qingxi.
Gu Qingxi clenched her fists, looked at the eldest young master coldly, and said quietly: "Do you want to be beaten?"
The eldest young master saw the fierce look in Gu Qingxi's eyes and subconsciously took two steps back. Then he stepped on the foot of the servant behind him. He felt shameless again and said with a pinched neck, "I'm doing this for your own good."
