The Master’s Temperament is Too Good
Without the buzzing sound of flies around her, Gu Qingluan enjoyed a much quieter environment as she strolled through the entire garden.
The place she used to live in was just a wall away from where the servants resided.
Over the past few years, as the Gu family’s status grew, the number of servants increased as well. Her courtyard had gradually become the living quarters for the servants, and Gu Qingluan wasn’t surprised in the least.
The servants who moved in here were all trembling with fear.
The young miss dared to fight even within the family’s residence. They had occupied the young miss’s rooms, so their lives were at stake!
The man in black standing beside Gu Qingluan was furious. In the past, he actually let his master live in such a place!”
The black-clad man standing beside Gu Qingluan was filled with indignation. “The Gu family is truly despicable! They used to let the master live in such a place!”
“Calm down, Su Lie. There’s no need to get angry over these petty people. It’s not worth it,” Gu Qingluan said with a faint smile.
The black-clad man looked up to her and said, “I can’t control myself, Master. Your temperament is truly too good. If it were me, I would have already dealt with these people.”
Her temperament was too good?
The servants who couldn’t escape hearing his words had puzzled expressions on their faces.
Would having a good temperament lead to smashing the Gu family’s door plaque?
Would having a good temperament lead to driving away the third young master and the fourth miss?
Would having a good temperament result in knocking the family head out and turning him into a pig- headed mess?
Gu Qingluan smirked lazily and disdainfully, “We’re not dogs. If a dog bites you, do you bite back?”
“Master, you’re absolutely right!” Su Lie nodded, taking her words to heart.
Then he asked, “Master, have you decided where you want to live? I can arrange it immediately.”
Gu Qingluan pondered for a moment and replied, “Let’s go to Miao Xi Ge.”
“Miao Xi Ge is a great choice. It’s spacious and offers a beautiful view.” Su Lie already had the layout of the entire mansion stored in his mind. After a brief consideration of the location of Miao Xi Ge, he nodded in agreement.
“But someone has lived there before, and it carries some bad luck. I will have the craftsmen renovate it, but perhaps, Master, you could stay at an inn for a few days until it’s ready?” Su Lie suggested.
Gu Qingluan shook her head. “No need. Just clean up an empty room for me. Take care of the renovation of Miao Xi Ge.”
After giving the instructions, Gu Qingluan had another matter to attend to, so she entrusted this place to Su Lie.
Su Lie eagerly rushed towards Miao Xi Ge.
He was determined to renovate Miao Xi Ge to perfection, making it a comfortable place for the master to reside in!
Compared to the Harmony Isle, this place is truly much smaller.
As soon as the two of them left, the servants immediately ran to report the situation.
Miao Xi Ge was the Second Miss’s personal pavilion, and Gu Qingluan was actually going to occupy her room. This showed that she didn’t even regard the Second Miss highly!
“What did you say?” In the main house, Gu Zhicheng jumped up from his bed upon hearing the report from the servants. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
He had been so infuriated by Gu Qingluan that he pretended to faint and lay down to rest. But just as he closed his eyes, he heard this news.
The servant repeated what he had just said.
Gu Zhicheng sat back on the bed and snorted coldly. “If she wants to stay, let her. When Xue ‘er comes back, she will teach her a lesson!”
The proudest moment of his life was when he had fathered his daughter, Ling Xue. Her accomplishments had reached unprecedented heights within the Gu family.
He may not have been able to surpass Gu Qingluan himself, but he firmly believed that Xue’er was undoubtedly far more outstanding than Gu Qingluan!
With thoughts of his daughter, who made him proud, Gu Zhicheng no longer had the inclination to lie back down. He swiftly rose from his bed and walked over to the desk to write a letter.
“Send this letter to Qiankun Academy!”
Once Xue’er received this letter, she would undoubtedly return as soon as possible!
The mere thought of this brought some relief to Gu Zhicheng’s previously gloomy mood.
…
In the dense forest of the Northern Suburbs, Gu Qingluan stood before the ruins.
Memories from five years ago flooded her mind, replaying vividly.
