1621 Arrogant Servants

Qiao Xi was slightly puzzled. With Old Madam Gu’s fierce character and status, who would dare to make things difficult for her in the Gu family’s old residence?

Could it be that Old Master Gu was causing trouble and Old Madam Gu wanted them to go back and deal with him?

Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng returned to the Gu family’s old residence with doubts. As soon as they entered, the butler smiled and came to welcome them. “Young Master, Old Master invites you over.”

Gu Zheng did not stop in his tracks at all. He walked past him and walked straight in. Of course, the butler did not dare to offend Gu Zheng. He could only bend down and say in a low voice, “Old Master said that he hasn’t seen Young Master in a long time, so he wants to see you. Moreover, a family friend of the Gu family has come to visit. As the head of the Gu family, you should make a trip there to show your respect.”

Who was the Gu family’s old friend? Qiao Xi had a puzzled expression.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent. After a long time, Gu Zheng stopped in his tracks. His eyes were filled with coldness as he said slowly, “The Gu family’s a.s.sets are all in Gu Yao’s hands now. If someone has to meet the guests, you should look for him.”

The butler’s expression froze: “”

“Young Master, that old friend is the head of the He family and your master. Of course, you have to go meet him!”

Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng stopped in their tracks at the same time, and their gazes suddenly turned sharp.

He Weinian?

“Chairman He, Miss He, and Young Master He are all here. How can you let Young Master Gu Yao meet them?”

Gu Zheng replied impatiently, “Why? Do I have to entertain Grandpa’s guests? Do you think Grandpa won’t be able to entertain them well?”

“No, no”

Before the butler could finish, Gu Zheng held Qiao Xi’s hand and entered Old Madam Gu’s courtyard. The butler did not dare to barge in rashly and could only stand at the door awkwardly.

Gu Zheng sent Qiao Xi to the door and said, “Go accompany Grandma first. I’m going to Maple Garden.”

Maple Garden?

Qiao Xi did not ask further and nodded. Then, Gu Zheng left through the back door.

At this moment, in Old Madam Gu’s courtyard, an old woman in her 60s was standing at the door and instructing the servants to move the things.

“Put these things at the door and sweep the courtyard clean!” Aunt Lin was in her 60s, but she had taken good care of herself. Coupled with her exquisite clothes, it was impossible to tell that she was a servant of the Gu family.

Aunt Lin said obsequiously, “Old Master knows that you’re awake, so he specially arranged for the servants to clean the place and change the furniture. He even instructed the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes.”

Old Madam Gu snorted. “If he had the heart, he would’ve arranged everything when I was unconscious instead of putting on an act when I woke up.”

Aunt Lin’s complexion did not look too good. “How can you say that?”

Qiao Xi heard her words as soon as she entered and frowned unhappily. “Grandma doesn’t like you lot disturbing her. It’s dusty and noisy.”

When Old Madam Gu saw her enter, she hurriedly waved. “Xi Xi.”

The old madam’s personal servant, Aunt Fang, said with a smile, “Alright, all of you can leave. Don’t disturb the old madam anymore.”

“But” Aunt Lin still had something to say, but Qiao Xi’s cold gaze instantly shot over. Aunt Lin was so scared that her entire body trembled. She called out to the other servants unconvincedly, “Everyone, leave. You don’t have to deal with Old Madam Lin anymore!”

The servants filed out, leaving the four of them alone. Aunt Fang glanced at Aunt Lin. “Go make tea for Young Madam.”

Aunt Lin was a little unwilling, but she still left angrily.

Not long after Qiao Xi and the old madam started chatting, Aunt Lin walked over with a respectful smile. “Old Madam, try this new tea.

“Miss Qiao, you should try it too.”

Old Madam Gu’s expression darkened.

Aunt Fang reminded her, “Aunt Lin, this is Young Madam. You shouldn’t call her Miss Qiao.”

Of course, the Gu family’s servants had to call Qiao Xi ‘Young Madam’. This was an affirmation of her ident.i.ty. Even if Gu Weiming and Huang Lilan did not acknowledge her in the past, the Gu family’s servants would still respectfully call her ‘Young Madam’.

Aunt Lin explained unhurriedly, “Although Miss Qiao and Young Master have gotten their marriage certificate, they didn’t have a wedding. It’s not appropriate to call her ‘Young Madam’ now.”

Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. Aunt Lin was sent by Old Master Gu to anger her!

Aunt Lin was Old Master Gu’s personal servant, and even Gu Weiming had to show her some respect. Now that she dared to offend her in front of the old madam, she was probably under Old Master Gu’s orders. Qiao Xi chuckled. “Aunt Lin is in her 60s, so it’s normal for her to be a little old-fas.h.i.+oned.”

Aunt Fang was a little worried, but Old Madam Gu had a calm expression. She knew Xi Xi’s methods. It would be easy for her to deal with Aunt Lin.

Aunt Lin smiled in satisfaction. “It’s good that you understand me”

“But Aunt Lin, you’re a servant of the Gu family, after all. You should listen to your master’s instructions. I order you to call me ‘Young Madam’. Are you going to obey or not?” Qiao Xi interrupted her coldly.
