At daybreak, Qing Mei woke Gu Jiu up.  

“Guniang, it’s time to get up.” 

Gu Jiu rubbed her eyes and still looked sleepy. She had slept too late the previous day, so she was a little tired. 

Qing Mei hung the muslin net up and said, “Guniang, quickly get up and wash up. You can catch up on your sleep in the carriage soon.” 

Gu Jiu nodded, then asked, “Is there any news from biao shaoye’s side?” 

Qing Mei lowered her voice and said, “Biao shaoye will set off for the capital today as planned.” 

Gu Jiu’s eyes brightened and she immediately became spirited. In this way, the matter discussed earlier was done. 

“In that case, we must hurry up and leave the fu too.” 

A little while later, a big play would probably be staged in the fu, creating a great disturbance. She had to leave as soon as possible so that she wouldn’t be implicated. 

After washing up, Gu Jiu dressed up and went to shang fang for the morning greetings.  

On the way, she ran into Su Zheng, who had just come out of shang fang. 

The pair of cousins exchanged meaningful glances. 

Gu Jiu said softly, “You’ve worked hard, biaoge.” 

“Xiao Jiu biaomei is being too courteous. I will be leaving the fu right away and I won’t wait for Xiao Jiu biaomei.” 

“Have a pleasant journey, biaoge.” 

Su Zheng nodded and along with Shunzi and his luggage, he took leave of Gu jia and proceeded towards the capital. 

When Gu Jiu entered shang fang, Xie shi had just woken up and hadn’t washed up yet. 

The servant, Chun He, reported to her, “Taitai, er guniang has arrived to pay her respects. Shall I ask her to enter?” 

Xie shi frowned. “One after another, why are they coming so early? It’s as if they agreed on the time before.” 

Chun He reminded her in a whisper, “Er guniang is going to Tianmen Temple today. She needs to set out early to avoid the sun. Su gongzi is also leaving for the capital today, and he too wants to start his journey early. Taitai, did you forget about this?” 

Hearing that Gu Jiu wanted to go to Tianmen Temple to burn incense for Su shi, Xie shi mood turned sour. With a stiff expression, she said, “I won’t see!” 

Chun He obeyed. “Nubi will inform er guniang at once.” 

Gu Jiu had expected that Xie shi wouldn’t want to see her. Xie shi had just woken up and hadn’t dressed and groomed herself yet. She would absolutely not meet her with a plan face. 

“Er guniang, please return. Taitai is busy, so it’s inconvenient for her to see you.” 

“Since taitai is busy, it isn’t good for me to disturb her. Chun He jiejie, please pay respects to taitai on my behalf. Once I return from Tianmen Temple, I will come again to greet her.” 

“Er guniang is considerate.” 

Gu Jiu smiled gently, “In that case, I will return.” 

“Er guniang, take care.” 

Gu Jiu left shang fang and immediately went to the second door. 

The servants had already loaded the luggage on to the carriage. Her brother Gu Ting was already waiting for her. 

Seeing Gu Jiu arrive, Gu Ting was immediately enthused. “Meimei, you finally came. Shall we leave right away?” 

Gu Jiu nodded and asked, “Did you inform father?” 

“Don’t worry! I took father’s leave before he went to the yamen. Father warned me to be careful on the way and asked me to take good care of you.” 

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes gentle. “Gege must keep your promise and look after me carefully.” 

“Meimei, rest assured, I will not let you suffer the slightest grievance.” 

The two ox-pulled carriages left the provincial governor’s fu from the side door and went out of the city towards Tianmen Temple. 

Shang fang 

Xie shi’s brows puckered. Since she woke up early in the morning, her eyelids had been continuously twitching. Was something going to happen? 

Xie shi asked Chun He, “Is there any problem inside the fu?” 

Chun He shook her head. “Nothing has happened.” 

Xie shi brows didn’t smooth out. She felt very uneasy and her eyelids were still twitching. 

The sun gradually rose in the sky. 

The servant Chun Cao ran in from outside. “Taitai, bad news! Biao shaoye has had an accident.”  

“What’s the matter?” Xie shi suddenly sat up straight. Had her premonition come true? Was her eyelids twitching an omen? 

Chun Cao panted, gasping for breath. With a flustered expression, she said, “Xie jia‘s gongzi, he, he…” 

“What’s wrong with Xie Xian? You can’t even speak coherently, what use are you of?” Xie shi angrily rebuked Chun Cao. 

Chun Cao calmed down. “I heard that Xie gongzi didn’t return to the fu last night and rested in a brothel. He didn’t have enough money to settle the account and was arrested and reported to the authorities. This noisy matter has become a huge scandal. Everyone outside is talking about it.” 

“What?” 

Xie shi expression changed drastically. Her eyes turned in her confusion. “Where is Xie Xian now?” 

Chun Cao quickly replied, “This matter has already alarmed laoye. Laoye instructed the butler to take some people and bring Xie gongzi back.” 

Finished, it’s all over. How did this matter alert laoye? 

“What about Gao Sanfu? Why didn’t he report such a big matter to me?” Xie shi was infuriated. 

Chun Cao hurriedly said, “Butler Gao is asking around about the situation outside right now.” 

Xie shi gnashed her teeth and cursed Xie Xian. “Useless thing!” 

The marriage hadn’t been been fixed yet, but he still dared to stay overnight in a brothel in front of his future father-in-law. 

The matter of staying overnight could be set aside. What was unbelievable was that he didn’t have money to settle the account and he created a ruckus until he became the talk of the town. 

Xie Xian, this child, could accomplish nothing but could ruin everything. 

Xie shi asked, “Where is Xie er laoye now?” 

“He is with laoye.” 

Hearing this, Xie shi was anxious. “Why is he with laoye?” 

“I heard Butler Gao say that laoye sent people to invite er laoye to go over.” 

Xie shi slumped back against the chair. Laoye was definitely angry. 

“Taitai, Steward Zhang Gui who serves beside laoye, has come.” The servant Dong Mei hurriedly ran into the room. 

Xie shi became animated. “Hurry, ask Steward Zhang to come in.” 

“Yes!” 

Zhang Gui was invited inside shangfang and he bowed slightly to Xie shi. 

Xie shi acted as if she was completely ignorant of what had happened, and asked, “Zhang Gui, since laoye sent you over, is something wrong?” 

Zhang Gui nodded. “Laoye requests taitai to go to the reception pavilion.” 

Xie shi was visibly nervous as she asked, “The reception pavilion? For what?” 

Zhang Gui shook his head. “Xiaode doesn’t know. According to laoye’s command, taitai needs to quickly go there. Taitai must hurry up and not waste laoye’s time.” 

Xie shi said, “I understand. I will go right away.” 

“This servant asks to be excused.” Zhang Gui left. 

Xie shi hastily instructed, “Chun Cao, go ask Gao Sanfu whether Gu Quan has brought back Xie Xian. Hurry!” 

“Yes!” 

Chun Cao rushed out to inquire. Xie shi was worried, disturbed and nervous. Laoye had to be angry. What was laoye going to do? 

Chun He reminded her in a low voice, “Taitai, laoye is waiting in the reception pavilion. Are we going there now?” 

“Shut up!” Xie shi scolded Chun He angrily. 

Chun He’s face became tense and she didn’t dare to speak again. 

Xie shi paced across the room, already having murdered Xie Xian thousands of times in her heart. 

At such a young age, he couldn’t control his lower body but still could become famous by creating such a scene, making her lose face. Even if he died a thousand times, it would still be letting him off lightly. 

Chun Cao returned after gathering information. 

Xie shi hurriedly asked, “How are things?” 

“Reporting to taitai, Gu Quan has already brought Xie gongzi back and taken him to the reception pavilion at once. I heard Steward Gao say that laoye was furious and spoke many harsh words to Xie er laoye. Taitai, you must quickly go there.” 

Xie shi took in a deep breath and adjusted her clothes. “All of you follow me to the reception pavilion.” 

“Yes!” 

Outer Courtyard, Reception Pavilion. 

Xie Xian knelt on the ground, his clothes in disorder and his hair messy. The revolting stench of wine mixed with vulgar cosmetics assailed their senses.  

He lowered his head, his cheeks swollen, with the appearance of someone debauched. 

Xie er laoye sighed repeatedly, glaring at Xie Xian ferociously, again looking at Gu daren. 

Gu daren was expressionless. “Xie laoye has raised a good son. Benguan’s face has been completely lost.” 

“Brother-in-law, calm down!” 

“Xie laoye must speak cautiously. Benguan doesn’t dare to be addressed as brother-in-law by you.” 

Xie er laoye’s cheeks twitched, inwardly anxious. The situation was bad and he wondered why his sister hadn’t arrived yet. 

“Husband, please quell your anger!” 

Xie shi walked inside the reception pavilion in a composed and dignified manner.  

“Meimei, you’re here!” Xie er laoye stood up, feeling emotional and agitated.  

Everything would be okay now that his sister had come. 

Gu daren snorted coldly. “Taitai has come just in time. This is a private household matter of Xie jia. Since you are here, deal with it. Whatever may be the case, benguan doesn’t want to see these two henceforth.” 

Xie shi’s expression changed slightly, as if she couldn’t bear the blow. Her body swayed, unsteady, just as her complexion turned pale.  

She looked at Gu daren. “Husband, please calm down. Everything is qieshen‘s fault. Qieshen didn’t expect that Xie Xian, this child, would unexpectedly be so confused, greedy and lustful at such an age…” 

Gu daren looked at her with a smile that wasn’t a smile and interrupted her. “Since you’re persuading me so much, then taitai already knows what happened? That’s even better. Taitai, please drive these brazen people out of the provincial governor’s fu. 

”There is no need to bring up the matter of marriage again. Benguan’s daughter will absolutely not marry such a shameless person.” 

Saying so, Gu daren flung his sleeve and left. 

“Husband!” 

Xie shi was extremely anxious, reaching out to grab Gu daren’s sleeve. Gu daren ruthlessly shook her off. 

Xie shi fell on top of the tea table. Gu daren didn’t even look back and left directly.
