Chapter 004 Wake Up

Lady Shuan'anhou glanced at Mrs. He and said, "Get up. I know that the eldest son feels indebted to the eldest maid, so he favors her. As for you, as a stepmother, you are in a difficult position. It's not entirely your fault. Don't worry, if there's anything, you can tell me, and I will talk to the eldest son."

Upon hearing Lady Shuan'anhou's words, Mrs. He felt even more pleased.

While they were waiting for Qimama to bring Gu Mingxuan, a little maid hurriedly came to report, "Madam, the first madam, and the second madam, Madam Yang is here with young master Yang."

The group exchanged glances, unable to hide their headache. Madam Wang, the fourth madam of the Yang family, was known for her fierce and unreasonable behavior. Her arrival with her son seemed to spell trouble.

While Lady Shuan'anhou and Madam Sun turned pale, Mrs. He secretly smiled. The bigger the commotion, the clearer it would become to others how vulgar and ugly that little wench was, she thought to herself.

As she thought this, she said, "Mother, should we ask Xuan'er to stay away for a while?"

"What's there to avoid? Quickly bring that wretched maid here. I want to ask my son how he offended her, causing her to heartlessly push him into the water," Madam Wang stormed in before even entering the hall, shouting angrily.

Behind her, Yang Xuzhe also yelled, "Where is that ugly maid? Bring her here so I can kick her and vent my anger."

Lady Shuan'anhou and Madam Sun's expressions changed. Dealing with such an unruly mother and son was truly a headache. If they didn't call Gu Mingxuan up, they couldn't get rid of the trouble. But if they did, even if she had done something wrong, they couldn't tolerate such unruly behavior. It would be too embarrassing.

"Grandmother, your face looks pale. Are you feeling unwell?" At this moment, Miss Gu Minghe looked at Lady Shuan'anhou's face and asked softly.

"I feel a bit dizzy," Lady Shuan'anhou said, giving her granddaughter a nod of approval before feigning dizziness. Madam Sun followed suit, saying she would attend to her mother-in-law, leaving Mrs. He to face Madam Wang and Yang Xuzhe.

While Lady Shuan'anhou and Madam Sun could escape, Mrs. He couldn't. She could only face the furious Madam Wang, turning her head to avoid being spat on.

"You crazy woman, come home with me now." Fortunately, at that moment, Yang's brother, Mr. Yang, arrived with Gu Wenqian and grabbed his wife, ready to drag her away.

"I won't go. I want justice for my son," Madam Wang glared at her husband, refusing to leave.

"It was your son who pushed Miss Gu first, causing her to sprain her ankle. You didn't educate your son properly, and yet you have the nerve to cause a scene here," Mr. Yang glared at his wife in anger.

At this point, Qimama arrived with Gu Mingxuan, who was taken aback by the scene before her.

Meanwhile, Mr. Yang and Madam Wang continued to argue, and Yang Xuzhe, upon seeing his father, quieted down and no longer dared to shout about kicking Gu Mingxuan.

Gu Mingxuan watched the chaotic scene before her, her eyes flashing with a cold light. When she woke up in the water, she was truly stunned. Wasn't she supposed to have drowned? How did she end up in the water?

Due to the unclear situation, after being rescued, she pretended to be unconscious, listening to the maids' whispers and suddenly realizing that she had returned to the day before her thirteenth birthday, the day before her engagement was broken off. On this day, she was wrongly accused of pushing Yang Xuzhe into the water, and the news of her and Yang Xuzhe falling into the water together and losing their reputations quickly spread throughout the capital.

The next day, her fiancé, Zhao Zongyuan, came to reject her, saying he refused to marry a woman who had lost her reputation, and that he would choose another fiancée.

Gu Mingxuan sneered. She didn't expect to relive the experience of being jilted, but this time, she was no longer the naive girl she was at thirteen. If she wanted, she could immediately make it clear that she had been wronged.

However, she didn't plan to explain right away. She wanted to see what they would do next.

Hmph, they thought she wasn't good enough for him and wanted to break off the engagement? She didn't care to marry him anyway.
