“Ah!”

Nanny Lin felt a sharp pain in her legs and involuntarily knelt down.

“Outrageous!”

Wang Shi shouted angrily.

“Qingluan, I thought that by returning today, you would have realized your mistakes. But it seems you have no intention of changing. Not showing respect to your father and me is one thing, but why did you suddenly attack someone?”

Gu Qingluan raised her gaze to look at Wang Shi. “Didn’t Madam see that she attacked her master first? Oh, sorry, she used her feet. I merely taught a servant a lesson. Is that not allowed?”

“Nanny Lin was teaching you etiquette on behalf of the lady of the house!”

“Etiquette? All I know is that the master can hit the servants, but I didn’t know that the servants can hit the master too.” Gu Qingluan chuckled.

“Nanny Lin is representing the lady of the house now!”

“So, it was the lady of the house who instructed her to attack me…” Gu Qingluan elongated her tone, with a meaningful implication.

Wang Shi’s expression stiffened, then she glared at Gu Qingluan with irritation. “Stop talking nonsense! I’m teaching you manners! Otherwise, if people find out that the young lady of the Gu family lacks even the slightest manners and upbringing, wouldn’t it be a disgrace?”

Although she wanted to trouble Gu Qingluan, Wang Shi still tried to maintain an appearance of fairness.

What is this called?

Wanting to act like a bitch but also wanting to appear virtuous!

Gu Qingluan retorted, “Hasn’t the Gu family’s reputation already been tarnished by you?”

The whole room changed in an instant.

“Gu Qingluan! Are you here today to cause trouble?” Gu Zhixin rebuked.

“Stupid girl, I didn’t want to bring up the past, but now that you’ve returned, showing no respect to your elders and resorting to violence! It seems that if I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll never learn!”

Gu Zhicheng finally spoke, his anger evident.

Others in the room were shocked.

The family head was finally going to take action!

Gu Qingluan remained as indifferent as ever, “If you’re going to act, just do it already. Why bother with so much nonsense?”

Was this woman insane?

Didn’t she know that the Master is already a Saint?

Yet she still dared to speak in such a tone to the Master!

Though they were surprised, the members of the Gu family were more than happy to watch Gu Qingluan’s self-destruction.

After all, there were few among them who hoped for Gu Qingluan’s well-being.

Last time, the Master stopped because of the Fifth Prince, and they were already unhappy about it.

Now that Gu Qingluan was seeking her own death, the Master would surely be furious and wouldn’t spare her!

Gu Zhicheng was truly enraged by Gu Qingluan’s attitude and immediately threw a profound power attack at her.

Advancing to the Saint Realm from the Heaven Realm was a qualitative change.

It was no exaggeration to say that a Saint could move mountains and overturn seas, manipulating the clouds and rain.

Even a casual move contained terrifying energy.

Gu Qingluan remained calm as she spoke to her son, “Xiaonan, find a place to sit, don’t tire yourself.”

Xiaonan knew that his mother had a breakthrough, and he wasn’t worried about her strength at all.

His big eyes scanned the room but didn’t find an empty chair. So, he ran to the door and sat on the doorstep, holding the little white ball, Xiao Bai, in his arms.

“Mother, you can do it!”

“Squeak!”

The boy and the little beast cheered for Gu Qingluan.

“She doesn’t know death!”

Gu Jinyue sneered.

Gu Zhicheng’s attack arrived in front of Gu Qingluan in an instant.

Gu Qingluan lifted her hand casually.

There was a soft sound.

Gu Zhicheng’s attack seemed like a stone falling into the ocean, hardly causing any ripples.

Everyone widened their eyes in astonishment.

“How is this possible!”

How could Gu Qingluan withstand the attack of a Saint?

“Elder brother, you can’t go soft on her! Since you’ve taken action, make her suffer a bit! Otherwise, she’ll become even more arrogant and step all over you!” Gu Zhixin shouted.

Everyone suddenly realized when they heard Gu Zhixin’s words.

So, that was it!

The Master held back his power, which was why Gu Qingluan could withstand the attack.

Gu Jinyue quickly advised, “Uncle, you’re just too soft-hearted. Clearly, Gu Qingluan doesn’t know what’s good for her.. If you spare her, she’ll only become more insolent!”
