Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Qingluan returned to the Feng Residence, avoiding the guests in the front courtyard and landing directly in the back courtyard. Upon learning that Qi Tianyou and Gu Hongkang were still waiting for her, she asked Han Xiao to accompany Xiaonan and Yuanxi while she went to see them.
âQingluan, I heard you wanted to see me. Is something wrong?â Qi Tianyou immediately inquired with concern.
If it werenât for an unexpected situation, she wouldnât have initiated a meeting with him today.
And to meet him, she kept him waiting for over an hour.
During this time, there must have been uncontrollable events.

Gu Qingluan shook her head. âItâs been resolved.â
âIf you have any difficulties, donât hesitate to tell me. You donât need to be polite with this prince,â Qi Tianyou said.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Gu Qingluanâs mouth. âAlright, thank you, Your Highness.â
Qitian You nodded to her and left first.
Gu Qingluan then turned her gaze to Gu Hongkang, and the warmth in her eyes quickly faded.
While Gu Hongkang had been waiting here, he secretly used his divine sense to observe the entire mansion and found that not only was Gu Qingluan missing, but Feng Tianlan was also absent from the residence.
On their wedding day, the bride and groom mysteriously disappeared; something significant must have happened.
He suspected that Gu Qingluan had called him here because it was related to him.
He carefully scanned the entire mansion with his divine sense and finally realized that Gu Qinâer, whom he brought with him, was also missing. A foreboding feeling welled up in his heart.
Seeing the indifferent look in Gu Qingluanâs eyes at this moment, the unease in his heart grew even stronger.
âLuanâer, why did you ask meâŠâ
Gu Qingluan interrupted his words, her red lips lightly opening, her voice cold and unfeeling. âOld Master Gu, Iâve told you before, that I and the Gu family should keep our distance from now on, right? It seems that the people from the Gu family havenât taken my words to heart.â
Being interrupted by a junior, Gu Hongkang felt displeased, but considering Gu Qingluanâs current status, he could only suppress his annoyance and asked thoughtfully, âI donât know who has offended you. This old man will definitely not spare them!â
Gu Qingluan chuckled, her tone as cool as a lake on an autumn day. âDoes Old Master Gu plan to send one person after another to come at me in the future? With so many people in the Gu family, I should be on guard at all times to avoid being targeted one day?â
Gu Hongkang furrowed his brows, and his fierce eyes slightly darkened. âI will emphasize to them once again and restrain them. Whoever provoked you this time, you can punish them yourself. I wonât interfere!â
He suspected it was Gu Qinâer.
He originally thought that the girl was cautious, but he didnât expect her to be so impulsive.
She was just a concubine-born daughter; with such audacity, she would not be shielded if she caused trouble now.
As for such an ignorant concubine-born daughter, if she was abandoned, then so be it, it wouldnât affect the Gu family in anyway.
What angered him was that the other party had come to provoke Gu Qingluan, causing him to endure Gu Qingluanâs reprimands here.
Having lived for several decades, he hadnât suffered humiliation many times.
He was annoyed with Gu Qingluan, but he was also annoyed with Gu Qinâer.
From his words, Gu Qingluan understood his meaning and couldnât help but sneer inwardly.
The old man was as cold-blooded as ever, willing to abandon his own granddaughter at the drop of a hat.
In a sense, it made sense. He had already abandoned his own son; why would he care about a concubine-born granddaughter? Losing her wouldnât be a significant loss to him.
Xiaonan was already found, and Gu Qingluan didnât want to waste time with Gu Hongkang in empty pleasantries. She went straight to the point, saying, âAs the saying goes, âA childâs actions reflect the upbringing and guidance provided by their parents.â I heard that Gu Qinâer has been by your side learning lately. If she makes a mistake, does Old Master Gu think itâs enough for her to bear the consequences alone?â
Gu Hongkangâs brows twitched. He had already agreed not to interfere with Gu Qingluanâs handling of Gu Qinâer. What more did she want?
Gu Qingluan could read his thoughts from his expression and sneered.. âI almost forgot to mention, do you even know what mistake Gu Qinâer made?â
