When Gong heard this, she quickly stood up and ran out, with Xiu still following closely behind her.

Gong saw that although Xiu Erran's hair was a little messy, his face and body were fine, so she felt relieved:

"Er Ran, what's wrong? Talk to mom slowly."

"Mom, that bitch Xiu Luoran asked the guards to beat me. Woo woo..."

Gong carefully checked Xiu Erran's body and found no injuries.

"Er Ran, where does it hurt? Come into the house and apply some ointment. Tell me what's going on."

The maids and old women were busy running around, bringing water and medicine, and first carefully wiped Xiu Erran's face.

Xiu Erran sat at the head of the bed with a thin layer of ointment on her face. She felt cool and comfortable, and she actually fell asleep while sitting.

Gong gently covered her with a thin blanket and sat down again to talk to Xiu Yiran:

"That damned girl from the East Courtyard actually asked the guards to beat Er Ran. For a maid, the younger sister dared to beat the older sister. She is really unruly and uneducated.

When your uncle comes back, I will talk to him about it."

Xiu Yiran advised, "Mom, I think we should just forget it. You know what kind of person Er Ran is. She was jealous that Silly Girl was prettier than her, so she gave Silly Girl medicine.

You go find your uncle. If he asks about their past and brings up the drug-fueled incident, it will be bad for Er Ran's reputation."

Gong said nonchalantly:

"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter. This is a good opportunity to see how your uncle and Xiu Lingce react."

"Mom, what's your reaction?"

"Don't ask so many questions. Anyway, I won't harm you. My biggest wish now is that you three brothers and sisters can find a good marriage."

"Mom, there is also my third sister."

"Hmph, a cheap girl born to an aunt. Once you have arranged your marriage, just find a man for her."

When Gong mentioned Xiu Yuanshan's aunt and concubine's daughter, she became so angry that her voice became much louder.

At the corner about ten steps away from the door, Xiu Yuanshan's concubine Xiu Shanran came over quietly with a little maid, and just happened to hear what Gong said.

She pretended to have forgotten to take her handkerchief and slowly turned back.

A little girl came to the door:

"Second Madam, the Marquis is back."

It was not because of Xiu Erran's matter that Gong sent someone to the door to inquire whether Xiu Yuancang had returned.

But ever since Gong took over the household, she had secretly sent maids and servants to keep an eye on the masters of the main house and report to her whatever they had learned.

Gong asked the little girl, "Is the eldest young master from the East Courtyard home?"

"Madam, he is at home. He said he went into the study with the Marquis to talk."

Gong nodded: "That's perfect."

After saying that, she gently pulled Xiu Erran up:

"Come with me, I will seek justice for you. Yi Ran, go back to your yard."

"Yes."

Xiu Yiran disagreed with many of Gong's practices, but Gong seldom listened to her advice, and she felt helpless.

She shook her head and went back to her yard.

Gong took Xiu Erran to Xiu Yuancang's study in the main courtyard.

Not long after she sat down, Xiu Luoran got the news and came in with Mochou.

Gong saw it and said, "Okay, I was just looking for you."

In order to seize the initiative, Gong took the initiative:

"Luoluo, even though you grew up in a nunnery, you are a daughter of a marquis after all, so you still have to follow the rules.

You came into this room, your father and I, as well as your brother and cousin were all here, but you didn't even greet them, this is not right."

After hearing what Gong said, Xiu Yuancang and Xiu Lingce's faces looked unhappy.

Xiu Luoran smiled: "Aunt, are you blaming me for not bowing to you? I didn't even have the chance to bow to you, but you scolded me.

Speaking of rules, my father is the Marquis of Zhenxi, and he used to hold military power and command hundreds of thousands of troops.

It is no exaggeration to say that my father’s study is an important military location.

Second aunt, you brought your daughter and barged in without any prior notice. Which country or family's rules are you following?

Even if my father no longer has military power, he is still the Marquis of Zhenxi, right? He is still your eldest uncle, right?

Is it appropriate for you to casually barge into your uncle's study with your unmarried daughter?

My brother is here. If there is a man from outside, will my second cousin's reputation be ruined? How will she get married in the future?

If my father is discussing state secrets with his aides here, or doing something private, and you barge in, who will be responsible if the secrets are leaked?

Second Aunt, is this your rule? "

Xiu Yuancang and Xiu Lingce looked at their daughter (sister) with admiration, secretly praising her in their hearts, saying, "Well done!"

Gong blushed at Xiu Luoran's words:

"you……"

She stared at Xiu Luoran and was speechless for a long time.

I didn't expect this girl to be so eloquent!

Xiu Erran saw that her mother was being taught a lesson by Xiu Luoran. She was very angry and pointed at Xiu Luoran and yelled:

"You damned girl, you bitch from a nunnery, you are not allowed to say that about my mother."

Xiu Luoran smiled again: "Second Aunt's family is very well-behaved. Second cousin is really well-educated."

"What are you talking about, you little bitch?"

"Second cousin, you are so stupid, didn't you notice?"

Xiu Erran was stunned: "What did I find?"

Gong felt that what Xiu Luoran was going to say next would definitely not be something good, so she stood up and tried to pull Xiu Erran away.

But Xiu Erran's curiosity was aroused, and he was unwilling to leave:

"Tell me, what did I find?"

Xiu Luoran patiently explained to Xiu Erran:

"I'm just your mother's niece, and she asked me to learn the rules. You are your mother's biological daughter, but you are so bold and unruly. Do you know why?"

Xiu Erran was led by Xiu Luoran:

"why?"

Xiu Yuancang and Xiu Lingce seemed to know what Xiu Luoran was going to say. They looked at their daughter (sister) with bright eyes.

Gong immediately took Xiu Erran's hand and left:

"Er Ran, go back with mom. Your uncle is very busy here. Let's not disturb them."

Xiu Erran walked out while looking back:

"Tell me, why?"

Xiu Luoran said loudly: "You and Xiu Yi are twins. Your mother taught her to be well-educated, dignified and generous, just to find a good marriage for her.

As for you, as long as you don't starve or freeze, you just need to grow up casually. There is no need to teach you anything.

You are so rude and ignorant, those talented men will definitely look down on you and you will not snatch Xiu Yiran's marriage away.

Also, if Xiu Yin finds a good marriage, all the money in the family will be given to her as a dowry. As for you, you will definitely not be able to marry into a good family, so just give whatever you want."

Xiu Luoran had just finished speaking when he heard Xiu Erran shouting:

"Ah, no wonder you brought all of your aunt's dowry to our house, it turns out you just wanted to... uh uh."

In the yard, Xiu Erran was covered with his mouth by Gong and dragged back to the west yard.

In the study, Xiuyuan, Cang and his son looked at each other.

Xiu Yuancang asked Xiu Lingce with a cold face:

"Your mother's dowry was taken away by Gong? How much did she take?"

Xiu Lingce gritted his teeth secretly: "Dad, I know this, I've kept a record of it. Mom's dowry will be used to add to my sister's dowry in the future, no one is allowed to touch it!"

Xiu Yuancang nodded: "That's good. It seems that the Gong family can no longer be in charge of this family."

Xiu Luoran hurriedly came to Xiu Yuancang and pulled his arm:

"Dad, I'll be the one?"

Xiu Yuancang smiled and said, "Can you do it?"

Xiu Luoran kept nodding his little head:

"Yes, I can do it."

"Okay, then you take charge. But you have to take over the power yourself."

"No problem, but I need help from my big brother."

Xiu Lingce smiled: "That's fine with me too."

The doorman came to report: "My Lord, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Seventh Prince are here, and they are all outside the gate."
