How could Gu Qingluan curse her family?

Gu Qingluan saw that Tang Shijun was genuinely concerned about her and gave Tang Shijun a friendly smile. “Don’t call me Miss Gu anymore. You can call me Qingluan.”

Gu Qingluan lowered her gaze.

If it weren’t for the fact that only the four major families and the royal family could participate in the selection competition of the Qiankun Academy in the Chengyuan Kingdom, she would have changed her surname as soon as she returned, considering the attitude of the Gu family members.

“Qingluan!” Tang Shijun happily called out.

Seeing how friendly Gu Qingluan was to her archenemy, Gu Jinyue sneered. “Gu Qingluan, are you planning to seek support from the Tang family? Too bad the Tang family is the lowest-ranked among the four major families. Do you think they can back you up? Today, if you dare to curse the Gu family, be prepared for punishment from my uncle!”

Gu Qingluan’s response was silence.

…..

She had the shopkeeper wrap up the set of accessories and gave it to Tang Shijun.

The jewelry from Nirvana Pavilion was highly sought after for another reason—it was unique in design.

Such a delicate set of accessories would cost at least several thousand taels of silver.

And Gu Qingluan just gave it to Tang Shijun like that?

Tang Shijun couldn’t believe it and said, “You… you want to give it to me? It’s too precious. I can’t accept it.”

She waved her hands repeatedly.

“I felt a connection with Miss Tang and wanted to be friends with you. Consider it a gift to commemorate our meeting. If Miss Tang refuses to accept it, could it be that you don’t want to be friends with me?” Gu Qingluan’s eyes flickered as she spoke, her expression resembling someone facing their beloved.

Tang Shijun hurriedly shook her head. How could she refuse?

Gu Qingluan was so beautiful and considerate. No one could resist her, right?

“Then 1’11 accept it. Thank you, Qingluan. Take a look here and see if there’s anything you like. 1’11 give it to you as a gift.” Tang Shijun looked at her with sparkling eyes, her face resembling a blooming peach blossom, as if she was facing her beloved.

Gu Jinyue disdainfully snorted, took a few steps forward, and squeezed in front of the counter.

“Shopkeeper, 1’11 take this set of accessories.”

Tang Shijun angrily said, “We saw it first!”

“Have you paid for it? If not, it’s not yours.” Gu Jinyue cast a contemptuous glance at her, then turned her beautiful eyes to the shopkeeper. “Shopkeeper, 1 want this.”

The shopkeeper looked troubled.

“My uncle is a Revered One. Does your Nirvana Pavilion wants to offend our Gu family?” Gu Jinyue mentioned Gu Zhicheng.

Nirvana Pavilion didn’t have the background of the Lushi Auction House, but the Gu family was no longer the same as before. She didn’t believe they would dare to defy her.

Gu Qingluan chuckled and suddenly interjected, “Do you have money?”

Gu Jinyue’s breath hitched.

She almost forgot.

Previously, in order to raise funds to participate in the auction, her father took away her secret stash of money. Now she was practically penniless.

Seeing her embarrassment, Xiao Wenfei quickly chimed in, “I have it! Jinyue, 1 still haven’t returned the silver I borrowed from you last time. I happened to bring it today to give you back.”

Gu Jinyue gave her an appreciative look.

Xiao Wenfei immediately took out several silver notes and handed them to her.

Gu Jinyue didn’t even look at them and threw the silver notes directly in front of the shopkeeper.

“Now, this set of accessories is mine, right?”

The shopkeeper glanced at Gu Qingluan, then picked up the silver notes and counted them, placing them back in front of Gu Jinyue.

“Sorry, Fourth Miss Gu, the amount on these silver notes is not enough.”

“There are three thousand taels here. Isn’t that enough? How much does this set of accessories cost?” Xiao Wenfei anxiously asked. She had spared no effort to please Gu Jinyue. If she didn’t secure her place, all her efforts would be in vain.

The shopkeeper calmly said, “Thirty thousand taels.”

Everyone gasped.

Xiao Wenfei angrily questioned, “Shopkeeper, isn’t this daylight robbery? You’re selling a set of accessories for thirty thousand taels!”
