The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

Hearing this, Gu Nanyuan paused, the smile on his face faded, and there was a hint of coldness between his brows: "She gave this as an apology?"

"Yes." Lin Ruoxuan simply recounted the story of Yu's apology, and said lightly, "I thought she finally bowed her head, so I just accepted it."

Gu Nanyuan's expression became uglier and snorted coldly, "There is definitely something wrong with her brain. It's better not to give such an apology. This is more like a perfunctory gesture than an apology."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and called Qingxiang over, his tone carrying an unquestionable coldness: "Go, send these things back to the Sixth Room intact, and tell her that we are not worthy of them, so that she can use them properly in the future."

Lin Ruoxuan did not stop him, but just looked at him with a smile: "I didn't want to accept it at first, but since you said so, it's better, so I don't have to find an excuse to push it back."

Qingxiang took the order and left, and there were only two people left in the room.

Gu Nanyuan sat back at the table, rubbed her shoulders with his hand, and said seriously: "It's not that I have to argue with them, but some people will become more and more ignorant if they are not punished."

Lin Ruoxuan looked up at him with a smile on her face: "I understand what you mean. Sixth brother's wife suffered a loss today. I think she will be more obedient in the future."

Gu Nanyuan patted her shoulder gently, and said in a gentle tone: "However, these things are not worth your trouble. If you have any unhappiness in the future, just tell me. You are my wife, you should enjoy your life. I will take care of the rest."

In the sixth room, Gu Jiulang was pacing back and forth in the main room, his brows furrowed and his face full of worry.

When he heard the servant come to report that Qingji had arrived, he quickly straightened his clothes and walked out to greet him.

As soon as Qingji entered the room, he smiled and said, "The prince specifically asked me to bring a message here. He said that today's incident has been turned over, and the two families will continue to be as usual in the future. Don't mind it."

Gu Jiulang felt relieved when he heard this, and he quickly put on a smile: "Thank you for your magnanimity, Brother Prince. Qingji, thank you for your hard work. I will come to thank you in person some other day."

Qingji nodded and said with a smile: "Master Jiulang is too polite. The prince just doesn't want to affect the relationship between brothers because of such a small matter."

Gu Jiulang was about to say something else, but just as Qingji turned to leave, another person came in. He looked up and saw that it was Qingxiang, who was holding a box full of things in his hands.

After Qingxiang entered the room, he put the box on the table with a calm expression and said, "This is the apology gift that the Sixth Madam sent to the eldest house today. The prince specifically asked me to send it back intact. He said that these things are too valuable and they are not worthy of them."

Gu Jiulang's smile froze on his face. His eyes moved back and forth between the box and Qingxiang, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He reached out to open the box, and when he saw the gold, silver and jewelry inside, his face instantly became extremely ugly.

"This... is this from Room 6?" His voice was hoarse and he looked at Qingxiang with complicated eyes.

Qingxiang nodded, and reminded him kindly: "Master Jiu, these things are indeed from Madam Liu. However, Master Jiulang thinks that since it is an apology, sincerity is important, not the value of the things. Master Jiulang, you also know that sometimes, attitude is more important than things."

Gu Jiulang felt mixed emotions after hearing this. He forced a smile, his voice a little difficult: "Thank you Qingxiang for reminding me. You have worked hard. Please tell my eldest brother a message for me. I will definitely hold a banquet for my brother and sister-in-law to come and have dinner. I will apologize."

Qingxiang nodded in agreement, and when he saw that the matter had been explained clearly, he left the Sixth Room with Qingji.

After Gu Jiulang sent Qingji and Qingxiang away, his face was as gloomy as water. He turned around and looked at Yu, who was standing beside him with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes lowered. He could no longer suppress the anger in his chest, and pointed at her nose and cursed her.

"Yu, do you have a pig brain? Let alone giving these things away, even if I give them to the servants as rewards, I think they are not heavy enough! How dare you use these junks to apologize? Do you want me to be laughed to death in front of my brother?" He roared angrily and took a step forward, almost forcing Yu back into the corner.

Yu lowered her head, her voice trembling, "I can't help it. This is the best thing our family can offer."

Gu Jiulang became even more furious when he heard this. He put his hands on his hips and sneered, "The best? Is our family so poor? Tell me, when did our family become so poor?!"

Hearing this, Yu raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and she choked up and said, "You don't know, a few days ago, mother used our money again, saying it was urgent, and she also used my dowry to supplement the household expenses. This is all I can take out, it really emptied me out of everything."

Gu Jiulang was startled, frowning even deeper: "What? Mother touched your dowry? What were you doing before? Are you telling me this now? Do you want to piss me off to death?"

"I..." Yu hesitated, lowered her eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "I was thinking that my mother is my elder after all. When the family is in trouble, I can't just stand by and watch..."

"Standing by and watching?!" Gu Jiulang laughed in anger, "Yu, I'm telling you, elders must be respected, but that's no reason for you to give away all our wealth!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His chest heaved violently. He suddenly swung his sleeves and strode out of Yu's sight.

Yu was stunned for a moment, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and she quickly took two steps after him.

Gu Jiulang walked quickly all the way and soon arrived at the Sixth Madam's courtyard.

The servants at the gate of the courtyard saw him coming with such force that they all retreated. He did not wait for the announcement and directly opened the curtain and rushed in.

"Mother! Come out!" he shouted loudly in the hall, shocking everyone in the house to stop what they were doing.

Madam Six walked out of the inner room quickly. Seeing Gu Jiulang's angry face, she was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Jiulang, what are you doing? You look like you want to eat someone. What a disgrace to our family!"

Gu Jiulang sneered, stared at the Sixth Madam, gritted his teeth and said, "Mother, you touched Yu's dowry, didn't you?"

When the Sixth Madam heard this, her face suddenly changed, and she immediately raised her finger to the sky and swore: "Nonsense! I touched her dowry? Jiulang, where did you hear this? I am your mother, do you believe me or not? I swear to the sky that I did not touch her dowry at all!"

Gu Jiulang looked at her coldly, without giving in: "Yu can lie, can you lie too? Over the years, you have spent all the family's money under the pretext of supplementing the family income, and now you are even going to touch her dowry. Mother, what bottom line do you have?"
