402 Today, We, the Gu family, Have Lost Face

This time, the elders of the second and third branches had stiff expressions on their faces.

“That’s all for today. Don’t mention it again in the future.” Madam Kou tried her best to force a smile, trying not to show her dissatisfaction. “When Xue’er comes back, I’ll ask her to apologize to everyone.”

How could the second and third branch let it go? They had been worried about Gu Qingxue’s return, because the eldest branch was more powerful.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qingxue did not give them any face. It was as if she had trampled on Madam Kou’s face, which made them want to tease her.

“Eldest Madam, you can’t say that. Everyone says that Gu Qingxue knows the rules, but I don’t think it’s true. Why didn’t you teach her well? You should know that today, the Gu family will lose face, not just the eldest,” the Third Madam said with a smirk, she was gloating.

Gu Lingyue was so angry that she almost died. She was even more displeased when she thought that she was humiliated here because of Gu Qingxue.

The Eldest Madam’s expression became even gloomier. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a man’s gentle voice.

“Eldest Miss Gu was careless for a moment. It’s not a big deal that she forgot to inform auntie. Auntie is also celebrating for the Gu family and Eldest Miss Gu. Both sides are at fault, so why must Third Madam be so aggressive?”

Everyone looked toward the owner of the voice. They saw a well-dressed man with an extraordinary appearance and temperament striding forward.

The man had a noble temperament. He wore a light green robe and a dark cape. He wore a jade crown on his head and looked elegant. His pair of exceptionally long and narrow eyes did not show any frivolity. The corners of his slightly raised eyes hid an endless amount of elegance, it did not make people feel unhappy at all. On the contrary, they would subconsciously be attracted.

The man’s gaze swept across the faces of the daughters of the Gu family’s concubines, successfully causing Gu Xin’er and the other young women to blush.

“Young Master Mu, I’m sorry for making a fool of myself.” Seeing Mu Chengyao striding over, Madam Kou’s lips curled into a gentle smile.

“Auntie is too polite. The marriage has already been decided. In the future, when we get married, I should call you ‘mother’. We are all family, and we should help each other. Otherwise, if the family still makes things difficult for each other, wouldn’t it be chaotic?” As Mu Chengyao spoke, he looked at the Gu family members who had provoked him earlier.

The faces of the second and third branch of the Gu family did not look too good when they were suddenly rebuked.

“Young Master Mu is right. This family should love each other,” Gu Lingyue echoed, her eyes filled with satisfaction as she looked at Mu Chengyao.

At this time, Madam Kou returned to her usual calm appearance. “The second and third branch should also go in and have dinner. Our Gu family will hold a banquet. If we lose face, it will also be a loss of face for our Gu family. Go back first. Alright, take care of the guests. Don’t let any accidents happen again.”

Even if the second and third branches were dissatisfied, they did not show it. They all looked at Mu Chengyao in unison. They were a little afraid of him. In the end, they all returned to the courtyard to help Gu Chengbin entertain the guests.

“Auntie, you don’t have to mind it. Eldest Miss Gu will be a great person in the future. It is reasonable that she is too busy to go home,” Mu Chengyao advised gently.

Madam Kou was persuaded by Mu Chengyao, and the smile on her face deepened. “Thanks to Young Master Mu’s explanation, I feel much better. Actually, the one who is most sorry today is Young Master Mu. We agreed to let you meet Xue’er today, but she didn’t come back.”
