    Gu Qingluan returned to the Feng Residence, avoiding the guests in the front courtyard andnding directly in the back courtyard. Upon learning that Qi Tianyou and Gu Hongkang were still waiting for her, she asked Han Xiao to apany Xiaonan and Yuanxi while she went to see them.


    Qingluan, I heard you wanted to see me. Is something wrong? Qi Tianyou immediately inquired with concern.


    If it werent for an unexpected situation, she wouldnt have initiated a meeting with him today.


    And to meet him, she kept him waiting for over an hour.


    During this time, there must have been uncontroble events.


    Gu Qingluan shook her head. Its been resolved.


    If you have any difficulties, dont hesitate to tell me. You dont need to be polite with this prince, Qi Tianyou said.


    A faint smile appeared at the corner of Gu Qingluans mouth. Alright, thank you, Your Highness.


    Qitian You nodded to her and left first.


    Gu Qingluan then turned her gaze to Gu Hongkang, and the warmth in her eyes quickly faded.


    While Gu Hongkang had been waiting here, he secretly used his divine sense to observe the entire mansion and found that not only was Gu Qingluan missing, but Feng Tian was also absent from the residence.


    On their wedding day, the bride and groom mysteriously disappeared; something significant must have happened.


    He suspected that Gu Qingluan had called him here because it was rted to him.


    He carefully scanned the entire mansion with his divine sense and finally realized that Gu Qiner, whom he brought with him, was also missing. A foreboding feeling welled up in his heart.


    Seeing the indifferent look in Gu Qingluans eyes at this moment, the unease in his heart grew even stronger.


    Luaner, why did you ask me


    Gu Qingluan interrupted his words, her red lips lightly opening, her voice cold and unfeeling. Old Master Gu, Ive told you before, that I and the Gu family should keep our distance from now on, right? It seems that the people from the Gu family havent taken my words to heart.


    Being interrupted by a junior, Gu Hongkang felt displeased, but considering Gu Qingluans current status, he could only suppress his annoyance and asked thoughtfully, I dont know who has offended you. This old man will definitely not spare them!


    Gu Qingluan chuckled, her tone as cool as ake on an autumn day. Does Old Master Gu n to send one person after another toe at me in the future? With so many people in the Gu family, I should be on guard at all times to avoid being targeted one day?


    Gu Hongkang furrowed his brows, and his fierce eyes slightly darkened. I will emphasize to them once again and restrain them. Whoever provoked you this time, you can punish them yourself. I wont interfere!


    He suspected it was Gu Qiner.


    He originally thought that the girl was cautious, but he didnt expect her to be so impulsive.


    She was just a concubine-born daughter; with such audacity, she would not be shielded if she caused trouble now.


    As for such an ignorant concubine-born daughter, if she was abandoned, then so be it, it wouldnt affect the Gu family in anyway.


    What angered him was that the other party hade to provoke Gu Qingluan, causing him to endure Gu Qingluans reprimands here.


    Having lived for several decades, he hadnt suffered humiliation many times.


    He was annoyed with Gu Qingluan, but he was also annoyed with Gu Qiner.


    From his words, Gu Qingluan understood his meaning and couldnt help but sneer inwardly.


    The old man was as cold-blooded as ever, willing to abandon his own granddaughter at the drop of a hat.


    In a sense, it made sense. He had already abandoned his own son; why would he care about a concubine-born granddaughter? Losing her wouldnt be a significant loss to him.


    Xiaonan was already found, and Gu Qingluan didnt want to waste time with Gu Hongkang in empty pleasantries. She went straight to the point, saying, As the saying goes, A childs actions reflect the upbringing and guidance provided by their parents. I heard that Gu Qiner has been by your side learningtely. If she makes a mistake, does Old Master Gu think its enough for her to bear the consequences alone?


    Gu Hongkangs brows twitched. He had already agreed not to interfere with Gu Qingluans handling of Gu Qiner. What more did she want?


    Gu Qingluan could read his thoughts from his expression and sneered.. I almost forgot to mention, do you even know what mistake Gu Qiner made?
