Chapter 464: Wang Shi’s Dismissal
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Hongkang’s face briefly tensed, but he swiftly composed himself. He said, “Do you still hold a grudge against Wang Shi? I’ve thoroughly looked into the matter. Your mother’s death was indeed connected to Wang Shi, and she should have faced consequences for her actions. However, Wang Shi is now in a dire state, practically on her deathbed. I assume you take some satisfaction in that. I’ve instructed your father to draft a divorce letter, and Wang Shi is no longer the Matriarch of the Gu family. If you’re still unhappy, you can deal with her as you see fit; she’s residing in the villa on the outskirts. As for the servants who played a role in your mother’s tragedy, I’ve had them apprehended, and they are currently held at the Gu residence, awaiting your decision.”
Gu Qingluan was extremely surprised.
Old Master Gu had just returned, and he had already resolved this matter?
With such determination, not even Gu Zhicheng could match it.
It seemed that the other party was genuinely interested in forming a good relationship with her.
However—
Gu Qingluan’s eyelids drooped slightly.
People like this were even more terrifying than Gu Zhicheng.
Although Gu Zhicheng was selfish, he hesitated to take action against Wang Shi, partly due to concerns for Gu Lingxue and partly because of his lingering feelings.
But Gu Hongkang’s actions showed a pure pursuit of self-interest. In his eyes, emotions and family ties were far less important than the family’s interests.
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Qingluan smiled and said, “I admire the Old Master’s methods. However, 1 wonder if the head of the Gu family holds any grudges against me for how you’ve treated Wang Shi on my behalf?”
“That boy used to be infatuated with Wang Shi, but after my scolding, he has come to his senses. You can rest assured he won’t treat you the way he did before. If he dares to insult or harm you again, you tell your grandfather, and 1 will discipline him for venting his anger on you!” Gu Hongkang looked at her with a kind expression.
This kind of “good grandfather” was what the original owner had wanted back then.
Unfortunately, during her fifteen years in the Gu family, no one from the Gu family had ever stood up for her.
Gu Qingluan sneered. “Old Master, your skills are quite impressive. You’ve managed to sweep all those unsavory matters under the rug so smoothly. Someone who didn’t know might think that Wang Shi completely ruled over the Jun Residence.”
Gu Hongkang’s expression stiffened again, and he felt somewhat displeased.
He had already been so humble, yet she still had a haughty tone, showing her newfound confidence.
However, considering Gu Qingluan’s influence and the forces backing her, he ultimately restrained his anger.
“Don’t listen to the rumors from outsiders. The Jun Residence has always been reserved for you. It’s just that you were young and in poor health back then, so it wasn’t suitable to hand it over to you.”
More hypocritical and disgusting excuses!
Gu Qingluan didn’t want to continue dealing with the other party and said lazily, “I don’t want to dwell on the past. I’ve grown accustomed to living in the Jun Residence. I have no intention of returning to the Gu family. The Emperor has appointed me as the Guardian Princess of the Nation and bestowed me with a mansion. Even if I don’t live in the Jun Residence, 1 will still move to the Princess’ mansion. There’s no need to bring up the matter of me moving again. As for all of you… in the future, don’t come and provoke me. Let’s all live peacefully. If you insist on seeking a path to self-destruction, then 1 won’t show any mercy!”
She said this in a very impolite manner, and how could Gu Hongkang not be annoyed?
But what could he do?
When he returned, Gu Qingluan had already grown her wings. She not only had formidable strength herself but also the protection of the royal family and the love of the people. If he continued to quarrel with her, it would only harm the Gu family’s reputation, and ultimately, other noble families would benefit from it.
In truth, when Gu Hongkang came to see Gu Qingluan, he didn’t have much hope that he could persuade her to return to the Gu family.
With the words Gu Qingluan had just spoken, it was already enough.
Before leaving, Gu Hongkang promised, “Later, 1 will have those servants who were involved in the wrongdoing brought here.”
As he watched the two carriages move away in the distance, Bo He couldn’t help but ask, “A/Iistress, are you really planning to let the Gu family off?”
