401 Disgracing the Gu Family
In order to wait for Gu Qingxue to come back, they did not have lunch.
Madam Kou was also puzzled. After hesitating for a while, she said, “Wait for a while. I have sent the housekeeper to pick her up. She will come back soon.”
As soon as Madam Kou finished her words, she saw the housekeeper of the Gu family come with two or three people, all of them looking anxious.
“Eldest Madam, the Eldest Miss is…” The housekeeper was speaking halfway when he saw so many people standing behind Madam Kou. He could not say anything more.
Madam Kou saw that there were only servants behind the housekeeper, and Gu Qingxue was nowhere to be seen. They were also a bit anxious. “Where’s Xue’er? Has she not entered the city yet?”
“No, the Eldest Miss has indeed returned to Jing City, but she has not returned.” Under everyone’s gaze, the housekeeper had no choice but to tell the truth, “Our men went to pick up the Eldest Miss, but were stopped by the prince regent’s men. They said that the Eldest Miss did not intend to return, but went to the prince regent’s residence. In the coming days, she will take the Old Madam, the Young Masters and Young Miss to live with the sixth princess.”
Madam Kou was in disbelief. They could not believe what the housekeeper said.
Gu Qingxue was a member of the Gu family. She had made a great contribution after coming back from afar. She should have gone back home first. After paying her respects to the ancestors, she should have informed the ancestors in the ancestral hall of this good news.
In the end, she did not care at all. She had abandoned the ancestors of the Gu family and the Gu family’s face. How could the Kou family deal with the guests who had been waiting for so long.
Madam Kou did not turn around, but she could clearly feel the eyes of the guests standing behind her were like needles, fiercely piercing her body.
A drop of cold sweat was left on Madam Kou’s forehead. She turned around and looked at the guests behind her. “It’s hard to refuse the sixth princess’ kindness. Xue’er really can’t disobey the princess’ orders. Bin’er, go to the banquet and invite the distinguished guests to sit down and eat!”
Gu Chengbin was suddenly pushed out, and a dry smile appeared on his lips, “Yes, please come inside with me.”
The guests were all dissatisfied. They did not lack this meal of the Gu family. Most of them were waiting here for the sake of building a good relationship with Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue could not refuse the sixth princess’ invitation, but what was the Gu family doing? Did they not know whether their Eldest Miss would come back or not? They had to make such a mistake and waste their time.
Madam Kou did not dare to raise her head. She let the guests go back to the Gu family for the banquet. After letting out a sigh of relief, she gritted her teeth and couldn’t help the anger that was about to explode in her heart.
She did not believe that after Gu Qingxue came back, she had not heard that she was holding a banquet at the Gu family.
It was hard to refuse the princess was just an excuse that she had made for Gu Qingxue. Who did not know that Gu Qingxue and the sixth princess had a very good relationship? If she really wanted to come back, perhaps even the princess would accompany her.
It was Gu Qingxue who deliberately did not want to come back. She knew that the family had already prepared everything, but she still wanted to use this method to take revenge.
“Aunt, don’t be too angry. Maybe big sister will come back tomorrow. Big sister is a meritorious minister after all. As brothers and sisters, we should wait for big sister,” Gu Xin’er said with a gloating smile.
Gu Xin’er and the others who were of the same generation as Gu Qingxue waited for her for a while. However, the elders of the Gu family were also waiting for her today. They had already given Gu Qingxue enough face, but in the end, they were even slapped in the face by Gu Qingxue.
