Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 221 Furious

The most upset were Jiang Ying and her two children. As soon as they returned to their courtyard, they began to throw a tantrum.

Gu Yuliu's eyebrows furrowed, her beautiful eyes widened, her lips pressed tightly together, and she roared angrily, "Mother, you shouldn't have agreed to let that little beast come back in the first place!"

"Look at him now! He's only just returned, and Grandfather gave him that jade without any hesitation! What makes him so special?" Gu Yu, standing to the side, also looked indignant and resentful.

"That's right! Mother, the people you sent were simply a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

They can't even handle a weakling like this, they're so useless!

My grandfather's jade was a gift from the late emperor himself! Even the current emperor has to show it great respect when he sees it!

But now, Grandfather has so easily given it to that little beast! Gu Chuan was so angry that he trembled all over, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He could no longer suppress his anger and smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground. With a crisp sound, the delicate teacup shattered and flew everywhere.

However, just as Gu Chuan impulsively tried to get up and leave, Madam Gu Jiang Ying reacted quickly and grabbed him tightly.

He gently comforted her, saying, "Chuan'er, don't worry. Even if that little bastard comes back, what can he do?"

This position of Marquis can only belong to our Chuan'er in the end!

Let him be smug for a few more days. Don't forget, your uncle is still in the Imperial Preceptor's Hall. Once the Imperial Academy starts recruiting students, that will be our perfect opportunity to strike. We'll make that little bastard pay!"

"Judging from what your uncle said, even the Imperial Advisor will be going there personally this time, and he even intends to take on disciples. So, this matter is the most important right now. As for that little beast, what are you afraid of? He's determined to come back anyway, so at worst, let him keep those other two company." A ruthless glint flashed in Madam Gu's eyes.

As they spoke, Gu Yu poured Gu Chuan a full cup of tea and placed it in his hand, adding, "Brother, Mother is right."

That little beast is insignificant now; what's crucial right now is to get into the Imperial Academy smoothly.

With your uncle around, you're sure to win the Imperial Preceptor's favor. If you're chosen as a disciple, then the entire Gu family will have to obey you, brother."

Hearing this, Gu Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips, and after a cold snort, he said, "Fine, then let's spare that little beast's life for now and let him prolong his life for a while longer."

"Hmph, in this way, he's just getting off easy." With that, he picked up the teacup in front of him, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp, as if he wanted to use the tea to extinguish the resentment in his heart towards that "little beast."

After whispering and talking amongst themselves for a long time, Gu Chuan finally left the room, satisfied and with a smug look on his face.

After Gu Chuan left, only the mother and daughter remained in the house.

At this moment, Gu Yu gently tugged at Madam Gu's arm and pleaded, "Mother~ I really want that jade pendant. You've always loved me the most, so please help me get it, okay? Please, Mother~"

Madam Gu reached out and gently stroked Gu Yu's delicate face, which was as white as mutton fat jade. Her eyes were full of love and tenderness as she whispered, "Yu'er, the time is not yet ripe. You should wait patiently for a while longer. That jade will belong to you sooner or later."

Alright, hurry up and get yourself ready so you can get some rest. Don't you have an appointment with Miss Lin from the Prime Minister's residence tomorrow? You can't be impolite."

Hearing this, Gu Yu pouted and muttered somewhat reluctantly, "I know, Wan Ning's brother is going to the Imperial Academy in a few days, and she went with him to the estate in the suburbs to pick some medicinal flowers, saying she wanted to make a medicinal pillow for her brother. If it weren't for..." Gu Yu suddenly stopped speaking here.

After letting out a soft hum, she continued, "Alright, Mother, I'll take my leave now. You should also get some rest. I suppose Father probably won't be coming today."

Madam Gu nodded slightly, smiled and waved for Gu Yu to leave, saying, "Go, go, I am indeed feeling a little tired."

After Gu Yu'er turned and left, the smile on Madam Gu's face vanished instantly, replaced by a gloomy expression. Her heart felt as if a million ants were gnawing at it, making her unbearably itchy.

On the other hand, Su Yue's situation was much more relaxed.

As soon as Gu Yuan went to rest, she began to order around the two maids that Madam Gu had specially arranged to serve her, making them run around in a daze.

Su Yue's sharp gaze swept across the entire courtyard. Relying on the books given to her by Old Man Luo and her in-depth understanding of various exotic flowers and plants, she immediately saw the hidden secrets within.

Although the flowers and plants in this yard look beautiful and vibrant, they are actually fraught with danger.

If it weren't for someone as knowledgeable about the characteristics of these plants as she is, even if someone unfortunately lost their life here, it would probably be difficult to find out the truth.

The plant with its vibrant red flowers, in particular, exuded a dangerous aura.

It turns out that this flower is an extremely poisonous plant; just a tiny bit of its white sap can cause someone to instantly ulcerate and die.

What's even more astonishing is the depth of Madam Gu's scheming.

Even if she were to die from poisoning by this flower, she could easily argue that it was just something the servants had accidentally planted and had nothing to do with her.

Faced with such a treacherous and cunning opponent, Su Yue couldn't help but sneer inwardly: Since that's the case, I might as well return the favor with a generous gift!

Thinking of this, Su Yue suddenly turned to look at the little maid standing respectfully bowing in front of her and asked softly, "Your name is Chunhua, right?"

Upon hearing the question, the maid named Chunhua quickly lowered her head and cautiously replied, "Yes, this servant is indeed Chunhua. If there is anything the Third Young Master needs me to do, please just give the order."

At this moment, another maidservant, seeing that Su Yue had not yet asked her, eagerly spoke up, "My name is Qiushi. If the Third Young Master ever needs me to do anything in the future, I will do my best and never refuse."

After she finished speaking, she slightly raised her head and glanced at Su Yue with her charming eyes, as if a bolt of lightning had instantly struck the air.

However, in just that instant, she quickly lowered her head again, not daring to meet Su Yue's gaze.
