"Don't be angry, she is still young." Lin Jingtian shook Bai Zhi's hand and consoled her, "As brothers and sisters, we should be more tolerant."
Bai Zhi originally looked at the closed door, furious. After hearing Lin Jingtian's words, her expression froze for a moment.
Small?
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, Jingtian has always been like this, always defending her regardless of right or wrong. He is already in his twenties, but he is still talking about being young!
Bai Zhi lowered her eyes, covered her cold eyes, and said very calmly: "Well, I won't really be angry with her."
Hearing this, Lin Jingtian breathed a sigh of relief.
If Bai Zhi was just angry on the surface and couldn't control her temper for a while, and didn't really do anything but just had fun with her words, then now, she is really angry in her heart.
Lu Xixin's rebelliousness, Jingtian's preference for her, the importance of her by the big shots at the top of the pyramid, and the indelible traces of her that existed everywhere in the Gu family all made Bai Zhi feel uncomfortable.
If it was just uncomfortable, it would be fine, but Lu Xixin's presence was so strong that it affected Bai Zhi's control over the Gu family.
This is something Angelica dahurica cannot tolerate.
For a moment, Bai Zhi seemed to understand why the fourth master, Yongzheng, had ascended the throne as the emperor and why he would kill the eighth master.
If the Eight Wise Kings, who had huge influence and were loved by civil and military officials throughout the dynasty, were not overthrown and his power was not eradicated, who could really see the Fourth Master sitting high on the dragon throne?
If Bai Zhi wants to take over the Gu family, she must let everyone understand that she has the final say in the current Gu family. Lu Xixin is a thing of the past. Without her grandfather's favor, Lu Xixin is just a rootless duckweed. Now she cannot gain a foothold in the Gu family.
!
This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, and Bai Zhi needs time to study it carefully.
When she got home, she immediately shut herself into the study and began to rummage through the cabinets. Finally, she dug out a yellowed family tree from a hidden corner of the cabinet.
Bai Zhi's fingertips rested on the [Gu Family Genealogy] for a moment, and then quickly turned to a certain page.
She once heard her grandfather mention by chance that the Gu family had branched into three branches as early as 200 years ago.
The branch that remains in the country now is actually not a direct branch, but a side branch. It was only moved to the direct branch because it inherited the ancient magic needle. The real direct branch had already given up the magic needle and left the country to develop abroad.
Another branch also stayed in the country, but they did not inherit the ancient family's magic needle. Instead, they changed their surname to Gu and became a family of craftsmen.
The white t-shirt that Lu Xixin wore close to her body was very well made and the gaps were almost invisible. It was sewn by a family of craftsmen.
The craftsman family has almost completely separated from the Gu family. Now it has a cooperative relationship with the Gu family. It provides the Gu family with clothes, shoes, hats and other well-made things, and the Gu family is obliged to give acupuncture and cure diseases to the members of the craftsman family.
Bai Zhi now wants to contact the direct branches of the ancient family abroad through the family of craftsmen.
Members of the Gu family abroad have long given up their medical skills and turned to business. I heard from my grandfather that the Gu family abroad are powerful and are big capitalists, and their wealth is so strong that they can influence local elections.
Bai Zhi wants to contact direct branches of the Gu family abroad to cooperate in developing the secret recipe of the Gu family and promote the Gu family to the world.
Unfortunately, she did not have the contact information of the direct branch of the foreign Gu family, and the foreign Gu family had already changed their surnames and became completely foreigners. It was impossible to find a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, she must contact the direct branch of the ancient foreign family through the Gu family head of the craftsman family.
The Gu family and Grandpa have always had a close relationship. Until Grandpa passed out, they still provided him with fine clothes and rare and precious jewelry.
But after Grandpa passed out, the Gu family's attitude towards them was not as good as before. Although they still provided fine clothes, precious jewelry no longer came.
