Gu Yuan went to court early, and Gu Weirou also got up early to take care of Liu Weiqing. She already knew that Gu Changan went to the Imperial Master's Office yesterday to resolve the matter, and Liu Weiqing's place in the martial arts examination was saved.
When Liu Weiqing saw Gu Weirou coming, it seemed as if most of the pain in his body had been relieved.
But Gu Weirou rarely did this kind of job of serving others, and she always caused a lot of trouble.
Gu Weirou squatted on the ground in embarrassment and went to pick up the overturned medicine bowl. She said sheepishly: "I will ask someone to fry another bowl of medicine now."
Liu Weiqing held Gu Weirou's hand distressedly, "You don't have to do this kind of chore, let the people below do it."
Gu Weirou pursed her lips and said softly: "Sorry, my hands are too clumsy. I'd better let my maid serve my brother."
This sentence immediately awakened Liu Weiqing.
So that was it, he finally understood why he felt so wrong after saying goodbye to Gu Changan yesterday.
If it weren't for Gu Weirou, he would have forgotten that he had a minor illness or calamity in the past. Gu Changan never left a maid in his hands, but always served him with clothes on his back and took care of him in every possible way.
He never took it seriously before, but now Gu Changan is not even willing to step into his house. The person who loved him so much now avoids him like a snake!
It was only at this time that Liu Weiqing realized for himself what had changed.
"Brother?" Gu Weirou watched Liu Weiqing's face turn darker and darker, and finally felt something was wrong, and quickly shook his hand.
Liu Weiqing woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly held Gu Weirou's hand and said gently: "I'm sorry, I just thought about something."
Gu Weirou smiled and shook her head, "It's okay."
But her eyes that dropped down became a little darker.
What was Liu Weiqing thinking about just now?
Gu Changan?
That woman beat him like this, and she was here to take care of him. How could he still be thinking about her?
Gu Weirou was no longer in the good mood just now, and felt as sick as if she had swallowed a fly.
At this time, Bichi hurriedly rushed in from outside the house, panting heavily and shouting: "It's not good, it's not good! Miss and Master, something happened outside!"
Gu Weirou was already in a bad mood, but Bichi made a lot of noise again, which annoyed her. She couldn't help but scolded: "Why are you making such a fuss? What on earth happened!"
Bi Chi was so frightened that she froze, trembled and said cautiously: "Yesterday, the news about the eldest lady going to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion has now spread throughout the capital..."
Gu Weirou interrupted impatiently, "Don't you just go to the Imperial Master to plead for mercy? If the news spreads all over the capital, what big thing can happen?"
Bichi stuttered and said: "Yes...yes..." He couldn't hold back even a single word.
Gu Weirou's sudden change of attitude made Liu Weiqing look at her.
Gu Weirou, who noticed that she was losing her temper, calmed down her emotions and tried her best to comfort Bichi and said, "Bichi, please tell me carefully, what exactly happened?"
Bi Chi took a deep breath, and said without gasping as if she was risking her life: "The eldest lady knelt in front of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion for five hours yesterday. Now there are rumors spreading around, saying that our Lord Marquis has a human face and a beast's heart, and is so heartless that he scolded Young Master Qing for hiding.
Behind a woman’s back, she’s a coward!”
Liu Weiqing looked at Bichi in disbelief, "What is going on and why are these words coming out!"
Bichi was stunned by Liu Weiqing's drink, and said tremblingly: "It seems that the affairs in the mansion have been spread...and His Majesty also knew about it. He was furious in the morning and demoted the Marquis from his official position.
Level three.”
"Impossible..." Gu Weirou couldn't accept the bad news at all. She took a step back, "Where is dad now?"
Bichi hurriedly replied: "As soon as Mr. Hou came back, he went to Fanghua Garden."
In Fanghua Garden, Gu Changan slept very peacefully that night and was in a good mood when he woke up.
However, when she is happy, there will always be people who come to find her unhappy.
When Gu Yuan arrived, he simply kicked open the door of Gu Changan's room. When he saw Gu Changan sitting at the table drinking tea, he overturned the table without saying a word.
The table fell to the ground with a sound, and the tea set on it fell to the ground, shattering at Gu Changan's feet.
Gu Changan had just picked up the tea cup in her hand. She looked at the mess in the place without changing her expression and said calmly: "Master Hou is very angry today."
The more frivolous she acted, the angrier Gu Yuan became.
He wanted to kill this rebellious girl, and with a storm in his eyes, he took a few steps forward and grabbed Gu Changan's collar, and lifted her up.
The two looked at each other, one furious, the other indifferent.
Gu Changan was half a head shorter than Gu Yuan. When she was lifted up by Gu Yuan in a rage, her feet were almost off the ground. She felt that Gu Yuan was going to throw her out the next moment.
But she didn't care, and said lightly, "Master Hou, who has provoked you and come to me to vent?"
In fact, she knew why Gu Yuan was so angry, but she just wanted to use such words to disgust him.
Gu Yuan was so angry that he laughed back, "You really gave me a big surprise. I asked you to go to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to ask for help, but you insisted on kneeling in front of the mansion, which made everyone in the capital know!"
He was like a beast escaping from a cage, and his tone was pressing step by step, "Now that I have been demoted three levels in a row by His Majesty, are you satisfied?"
Gu Changan raised his eyebrows. She really didn't expect things to come to this point. She originally thought that the most they could do was ruin the reputations of Gu Yuan and Liu Weiqing. This was really an unexpected surprise.
She stared at Gu Yuan and sneered: "Master Hou is really good at beating people up. Have you forgotten my relationship with the Imperial Preceptor's Office? Isn't it the good deeds done by Master Hou that caused me to break up with the Imperial Preceptor?"
At first, Gu Yuan used false evidence to deceive her into thinking that her master killed innocent people indiscriminately. She was disappointed and said such cruel words.
But when she later found out that it was all fake, her original words were irreversible.
And Gu Yuan is still sparing no effort to discredit his master, and there are still rumors about their relationship in the capital.
That's why the Imperial Master's Office hates her, the person who handed the sword so much.
"Everyone in the Imperial Prefect's Mansion now regards me as a snake or scorpion. I can't even enter the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. If I hadn't knelt in front of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion for five hours yesterday, do you think the Imperial Preceptor would be so...
Easily agree not to pursue Liu Weiqing?"
"Never mind this, then tell me, when did you get involved with the Su family?"
Even if Gu Changan had to kneel down in front of the Imperial Prefect's residence out of necessity, Gu Yuan would never believe it. How could the Su family be so good? What happened yesterday, the court had handed over the documents to impeach him the next morning?
If Gu Changan hadn't been secretly communicating with the Su family, how could he have grasped the timing so well?
He, Gu Changan's father, didn't even know that Gu Changan was kneeling before going to the Imperial Master's Mansion!
Gu Changan frowned, "What Su family?"
"You're still pretending! If you hadn't deliberately favored the Su family, how could that old fox Su Heng read my book this morning?!" Gu Yuan became angrier as he thought about it, wishing he could strangle Gu Chang'an to death.
She finally understood why Gu Yuan was so angry.
It turned out that the Su family impeached him and he was demoted from his official position.
Gu Yuan has always hated the Su family, but now that the Su family took the opportunity to trample on him, no wonder he has lost his mind now.
Although she didn't know why the Su family got involved, she would be happy as long as she could make Gu Yuan unhappy.
Gu Changan laughed and said: "Then I must be dissatisfied with Lord Hou's behavior, so he must do justice to God."
"Who allowed you to call him uncle?!"
Gu Changan's words suddenly ignited Gu Yuan's anger, and he threw Gu Changan away hard.
