Chapter 799: Gu Yiyi of the Gu Family V
Gu Shi’s face darkened. “What are you still doing? Quickly go and check it out. If Yiyi sets a fire on Tian Shen Manor, you shall rebuild it yourself.”
“…”
At this moment, he really wanted to resign.
The task given by the manor master was impossible to be accomplished.
Gu Yi immediately recovered from his thoughts when he saw Gu Shi’s gradually darkening face. He then said respectfully, “Yes, Manor Master.”
The manor master was really a ruthless man.
At that time, the manor master was very dissatisfied with the former manor master. Therefore, he had killed him and replaced him as the manor master.
But now he was always tormenting them…
Gu Yiyi did not know that Feng Ruqing had come to Tian Shen Manor, so she felt depressed every day. Although her birthday was approaching, she was not excited about it. She was listless.
“Let me in. I’m the second Young Lady of Tian Shen Manor!”
At the main gate of the chief manor, An Cui who was wearing ragged clothes with disheveled hair looked haggard. She glared angrily at the people in front of her.
Her token was stolen the other day. She could have followed Gu Shi back to Tian Shen Manor while Gu Shi was still there then, but she had chosen to stay for Nan Xian’s sake. She was even too scared to ask Gu Shi for another token. She feared that she would be forcibly brought back to Tian Shen Manor.
Too bad that all her money was used up before she could find Nan Xian.
She had initially wanted to use spirit herbs to exchange for some money. However, she never thought that those people would not accept it.
She wondered if the group of people in the secular world were stupid. They had missed a great opportunity to buy spirit herbs.
She could not even sell the spirit herbs at low prices.
An Cui always felt that there was a mastermind behind all the things that had happened to her. That person seemed to be intentionally tormenting her.
She had no other choice. She could only return to Tian Shen Manor.
Nonetheless, those people did not know her. Hence, they had stopped her from entering Tian Shen Manor since she did not have a token.
She had been wandering outside of Tian Shen Manor for a few days. She planned to wait for someone whom she knew to bring her back. However, she was stopped once again when she walked to the chief manor.
This time, An Cui was completely furious!
“I’m sorry,” the imperial guard said, calmly. “There is only one Young Lady in our manor.”
“You…” An Cui was angry. She glared at the imperial guard. “I’m An Cui. The manor master is my uncle. How dare you stop me? I will tell my uncle to drive you out!”
The imperial guard sneered. “Oh, so you are Manor Lady An. But I didn’t know that you are the second Young Lady of Tian Shen Manor. By the way, Lady An has been driven out by manor master. You should leave too.”
An Cui’s eyes widened.
Was Mother thrown out of the manor?
What had happened when she was not in Tian Shen Manor?
“Lady An is currently staying at Heaven Inn at Northern Street. If you want to know the reason, you can just go and ask Lady An,” the imperial guard said with a straight face.
An Cui gritted her teeth. Her wicked eyes scanned the imperial guard’s face. She clenched her fists and turned around slowly. She then headed toward Northern Street.
She would definitely walk into the chief manor fairly and squarely again one day!
She wanted those who had looked down on her to regret it for life!

Feng Ruqing had just bought a pack of medicinal seeds at the herbs shop. After that, she b.u.mped into two people as she was coming out of the herbs shop.
The man’s facial features were quite feminine. His embroidered long robe could not cover the fact that he was a sc.u.mbag.
Mu Xi did not expect to meet Feng Ruqing in Tian Shen Manor. He stopped. He was surprised at first, then his face eventually filled with smiles.
