Chapter 164 Why Should I Try
Chi He kicked at Taotao, but Xia Yinian blocked it with her foot.This woman is crazy! Just because she is the lady of the Gu Family, born with a golden key, she thinks she can scold or hit people anytime.
With so many people watching, she can still be so barbaric, what would she do when no one is around?
Isn’t it obvious by now, can’t you see who was right and who was wrong yesterday?
Old Master also felt somewhat dissatisfied. He certainly dotes on his granddaughter, but such a temperamental character is really a bit... it’s inappropriate in this kind of situation.
"Ouch!" The moment Xia Yinian kicked her foot back, Gu Ziqi immediately felt aggrieved and looked at the Old Master.
"Grandpa, Xia Yinian hit me, you saw it with your own eyes this time!"
Old Master’s expression was a bit displeased. Childish bickering has always been his least favorite.
He definitely wouldn’t have come if Seventh hadn’t asked someone to invite him.
Such trivial matters are best left in the past; he didn’t want to bother about who was right or wrong.
After all, it’s already in the past. Dwelling on it would just be a waste of time.
Seventh usually doesn’t bother with these minor issues either. This time, it’s unknown what got into him.
"Grandpa..."
"Please continue." No one paid attention to Gu Ziqi, and Chi He looked at Taotao and said sternly.
Taotao recounted what had happened yesterday. It was clear that she was somewhat afraid of Gu Ziqi, given the prominent status of the Gu Family. One couldn’t afford to offend them.
Still, she told the story exactly as it happened, aligning almost exactly with what Xia Yinian had said.
"No, Uncle, it was those two who conspired together to frame me."
Gu Ziqi wanted to hit someone again, but Xia Yinian guarded her intently, giving her no chance to act.
"Moreover, Xia Yinian has already mentioned this issue earlier. This pauper just noted down what Xia Yinian said and repeated it verbatim!"
"So, you’re saying someone indeed hit that horse?" Gu Beicheng’s voice put a damper on everyone’s emotions. "Bring the horse over here."
"Yes." A person working in the stables led the horse over.
"You two, take the whip." Gu Beicheng looked at Xia Yinian and Gu Ziqi.
Neither knew what he planned to do, but both obediently took the whip and walked to the horse.
"Miss Niannian, please try to make a motion as if you are going to hit it." Chi He said.
Seventh Young Master’s intention, he understood well.
Xia Yinian, with no doubts, suddenly lifted the whip towards the horse.
The horse did not react at all, just twitched its tail.
Chi He asked Xia Yinian to step back, then looked at Gu Ziqi: "Miss Zi Qi, it’s your turn, please try."
"Why should I try?" Gu Ziqi had already grasped his intention, she threw the whip away and went to stand behind the Old Master.
"Grandpa, these people are clearly ganging up to bully me, I don’t want to listen to them."
"Go over." Gu Beicheng’s face darkened, his voice stern and authoritative.
No one around could stay calm under Seventh Young Master’s cold, stern voice.
The Seventh Young Master was angry! Even the Old Master felt a bit uneasy due to the sudden chill in the air.
"I... why should I do the same thing as a pauper?" Gu Ziqi was genuinely panicked, she was fearful of this uncle too, but she didn’t dare to try.
"Ziqi..." Old Master was in a dilemma; wasn’t Gu Ziqi showing her guilt?
