Gu Jinchu pulled Bai Wei behind him. No matter whether this maid was satisfied or not, the fact that she was beaten was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Gu Jinchu and the Gu family.

"I wonder who this girl is?"

Gao Jiayue raised her chin slightly, with an arrogant attitude, "Gu Jinchu, have you changed your tactics today? Don't tell me you don't know that I am from the Gao family."

She specially brought someone with good skills with her when she went out today, because she was afraid of suffering a loss at Gu Jinchu's hands.

It’s really refreshing to see Gu Jinchu being angry but not being able to say anything.

Gu Jinchu bowed her body, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I am sorry for disturbing you all. Thank you, Sister Gao, for your advice."

He raised his head and looked at everyone with a faint smile, "However, it is not advisable to follow rumors and shadows, and it is even more unacceptable to make rash judgments."

"Chasing the wind and the shadow? Then Gu Jinchu, tell me yourself, have you ever whipped someone in the street?"

"Whip, is this what you are talking about?"

Gu Jinchu took out a soft whip from somewhere. It was dark red in color and as long as an adult man's arm when unfolded.

The timid lady had already stepped back involuntarily, and Gao Jiayue also pulled her maid to stand in front of her.

"You, Gu Jinchu, this is the Princess's residence, what do you want to do?"

Gu Jinchu laughed in his heart when he heard this. Gao Jiayue even knew who the master was!

Pretending to be confused, he tilted his head and looked at everyone, "What are you afraid of, Sister Gao? I'm answering your question."

Snapped--

Gu Jinchu pulled the whip with both hands, "I am the one who is being beaten with this whip..."

She had a conceited smile on her face and her words were extremely cruel and bloody, which frightened the ladies in the yard so much that they dared not breathe.

"Nan Sheng, this Miss Gu is quite interesting."

"She acts impulsively without considering the consequences. As you said, she has a pure heart. It shows that the rumors about her are not credible."

Zhou Boyan looked at the noble ladies who changed from mocking to cowardly and clicked their tongues.

"No, you are not in a hurry now?"

Just now in the bamboo forest he was acting anxious to see the princess, but now he has the leisure to watch the little girls quarreling.

"Let's go. Now that we are here, we should inform the princess." The man said and walked forward.

Zhou Boyan looked at Jiang Nansheng's back. This man kept everything to himself.

"I whipped her twelve times, and she was bleeding profusely, but I still didn't feel satisfied!"

Gu Jinchu vividly described the process of her violence.

Then someone announced, "Princess, Master Jiang Wu and Marquis Zhongyong are here."

The eldest princess put away the expression on her face and greeted him with a dignified manner, "Uncle, Lord Zhou."

Jiang Nansheng is the eldest princess's biological uncle, and the Shufei who has been favored in the palace for many years is his biological sister from the same mother.

The two men were the princess' elders, and all the noble ladies came over to pay their respects.

Although they are older than them, they are not much older than them, especially Jiang Nansheng, who is not married and does not even have an engagement.

Gu Jinchu put away the whip, stood at the back, and greeted them perfunctorily without even raising his head.

Gao Jiayue has not forgotten the topic just now. With the two men around, the slight fear in her heart turned into courage.

"Gu Jinchu, why don't you say anything? You were just threatening us with a whip!"

Gu Jinchu lowered her head, making it difficult for people to see the expression on her face:

"Sister Gao, I did whip someone, but there was a reason for that. You didn't give me a chance to explain."

Gao Jiayue glanced at Jiang Nansheng without leaving any trace.

"What do you need to explain? You just said that whipping her twelve times was not enough, and that killing is not enough. How can a little girl like you be so cruel and merciless!"

With the arrival of Jiang Nansheng and Zhou Boyan, people from all over the garden gathered together.

Everyone heard what Gao Jiayue said.

Almost all the families of the sixth rank and above in Shengjing were present at the eldest princess' banquet.

Gu Jinchu's reputation was completely ruined. Even before tomorrow, when everyone left the Princess's Mansion, Gu Jinchu would become the topic of conversation in every mansion and on the streets.

This was the case in the previous life, and Gu Jinchu's reputation also started from here, and the rumors in the market were recognized to be true.

Even the storyteller in the teahouse wrote jokes for her.

Gu Jinchu raised his head and asked the answer he wanted to know in his previous life.

"Sister Gao, we have never had any grudges against each other. Why are you slandering me like this?"

The beauty in red has tears in her eyes, pretending to be strong yet extremely sad, which is quite charming to see.

pop-

Zhou Boyan patted his palms with a paper fan, "Nan Sheng, is this spring tea party held in the back garden of the Grand Tutor's Mansion?"

Jiang Nansheng's handsome face had a gentle expression, and the smile did not reach his eyes, "No, this is the Princess's Mansion."

Gao Jiayue pushed the maid behind her, the one who had just told the story.

"You, tell Mr. Jiang Wu and Marquis Zhongyong again what we saw in Dongguxiang."

Zhou Boyan opened his fan and fanned himself, “No need, when Miss Gu whipped me, Nan Sheng and I were on the second floor of Mingxiang Pavilion.”

In fact, they were waiting for the servant to come back from buying candied fruits. To buy the candied fruits from Xixiangzhai, one has to wait in line patiently.

The eldest princess looked at her uncle beside her. He was a low-key person, so why did he come here today wearing official uniform?

"Uncle, did Miss Gu really beat that innocent woman to pieces?"

Jiang Nansheng retracted his gaze and looked at the girl in palace dress in front of him, "The third young lady of the Gu family is very good at whipping."

This statement confirmed that Gu Jinchu had committed the crime in the street. All the noble ladies moved their feet and kept a distance from her.

It was as if she was a monster.

Gu Jinchu stood there in a red dress, the dark red whip in his hand seemed to be stained with blood, and he calmly accepted the judgment from different directions.

Then Jiang Nansheng continued, "You should all learn from Miss Gu's courage, because that person is not an orphan, but a Japanese slave."

The man's slow and pleasant voice was like a bolt from the blue.

Even those who are still unmarried know that in the past two years, the Japanese invaders have been constantly invading by sea, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of atrocities.

Not only did they misunderstand Gu Jinchu, they also wrongly blamed her.

Gao Jiayue felt humiliated and found an excuse to leave the Princess's Mansion early.

Gu Jinchu knew that she had fought a pretty good turnaround.

The princess continued to tour the garden with everyone. Gu Jinchu stopped six or seven steps away from Jiang Nansheng and bowed, "Thank you, Lord Jiang, for your help."

Zhou Boyan, who was standing by, had a playful smile on her face. Her words could be considered to have widened the gap between her and Jiang Nansheng in terms of seniority.

The man stood with his hands behind his back and said softly, "I'm just telling you what I saw. Don't worry about it."

Gu Jinchu lowered her head and smiled bitterly. She originally wanted to explain what she had done and said in the past that bothered him.

Now she felt that it was unnecessary. Jiang Nansheng had never responded to her, so she just stopped appearing in front of him.

"Then I won't bother Lord Jiang and the Marquis."

After saying that, Gu Jinchu took his maid and followed the team in front.

Zhou Boyan took the food box from the servant and asked his friend beside him, "Don't you want the candied fruit you bought at Dongguxiang?"

Jiang Nansheng lowered his eyes, "Can you take it back to your niece?"

When talking about his youngest daughter, Zhou Boyan, who is already a chatterbox, seemed to open up.

What he said was that he was not young anymore and it was time for him to start a family.

Jiang Nansheng's eyes were fixed on an unknown place, and he said something.

Zhou Boyan came to his senses after a while and chased after him. "Jiang Wu, what do you mean by being good to her alone? Are you hiding something from me?"

"My dear, I will tell you everything..."

When Gu Jinchu returned to the Gu family, Mother Jin, who was beside her mother, came to greet her, "Miss, you are back."

Looking at Tong's mother's expression, on the way back, she thought about what would be waiting for her at home.

Before she even stepped into the main room, she heard an angry rebuke from inside:

"Your Majesty!"
