Gu Xinling's deep eyes were difficult to see through. Seeing that Gu Xinru was silent, she asked again, "Gu Xinru, what you said just now meant that you admitted that you forced Qingyu to marry the young master as a concubine, right?"

Gu Xinling's tone carried a very strong aura, and it seemed that no one could question it.

Gu Xinru was a little dazed, but she still replied instinctively: "No, it's not." She felt that sophistry is king, and admitting mistakes is a taboo.

"What does that mean?" Gu Xinling asked, and took a step towards Gu Xinru with an imposing manner.

"Yes, yes... It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I'm just kidding around with Qingyu!" Gu Xinru instinctively took a step back, she was already intimidated by Gu Xinling's aura, and always felt that if she confessed everything, she would definitely provoke trouble It would do her no good to get into trouble.

"Just kidding? Hmph! Gu Xinru, do you treat everyone like a three-year-old child? Slapping people, forcing people into concubines, threatening and intimidating, in your opinion, are all these jokes? If Yes, then..." Gu Xinling then slapped Gu Xinru again in front of everyone, "This is just a joke with you, hitting you is just teasing you, coaxing you, do you think it's okay?"

"Sister, you...why are you treating me like this? I'm your sister!" Gu Xinru burst into tears, "I... what am I going to do? Sister, please forgive me! I will never You will mess around with Qingyu."

"Naughty?" Gu Xinling asked again, "Gu Xinru, does bullying count as nonsense? It's a matter of character!"

"Eldest sister, what do you want me to do? I admit I was wrong." Gu Xinru looked aggrieved, "Why are you being aggressive and grabbing me? What do you want from me?"

"The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules! If you admit your mistake, you should forgive and escape punishment, then the world is going to be messed up. An apology is useful, what do you want the police to do?" Gu Xinling folded her hands and stared at Gu Xinru, "I want How about you? Hmph, you made a mistake and you have to pay the price. You slapped Qingyu, and I got it back for Qingyu, and I slapped you too. But you forced someone to be a concubine and tried to hide the truth from Mo's house. It will be dealt with according to the Mo family's family rules. Housekeeper, tell me, how to deal with this matter according to the Mo family's family rules?"

"Back to the second young mistress, the Mo family has a strict family style. This kind of intentional arrangement of women for the young master will be expelled from the Mo family after taking responsibility. Just like the current eldest young mistress, she is often accompanied by Qing Denggu in the temple. Volume. The Mo family cannot tolerate such a thing!" said the housekeeper.

Gu Xinru was so frightened that she slumped on the ground and murmured, "No, don't, don't do this, don't..."

"Then it's up to you." The butler glared at Gu Xinru.

Gu Xinru seemed to have thought of something suddenly, knelt down in front of Gu Xinling, hugged her thigh, and cried: "Eldest sister, I don't have any malicious intentions! Is it okay if I don't force Qingyu? I swear, I won't arrange for the young master to communicate again." Concubine Fang, I will keep my law and order. Sister, I did not succeed, and nothing happened. Therefore, this family regulation punishment does not apply to me, and I should not be punished like this."

"Housekeeper, did you hear? What she said is also reasonable. She really didn't succeed, and I stopped her in time. It's just what she did. To be fair, she was bullying and bullying the servants. How should she be punished?" ?" Gu Xinling asked.

"Because there were no fatalities or serious injuries, there is no such rule in the Mo family's family rules!" The housekeeper felt a little overwhelmed.

Gu Xinling thought for a while, "Then, as the mistress of the house, can I punish you according to the situation?"

"It's natural." The housekeeper nodded and agreed.

"Okay!" Gu Xinling shook off Gu Xinru who was holding her thigh, "Gu Xinru, listen to me, you insulted Qingyu, forced her to be a concubine, and slapped her in the face, I must punish you as an example to others. It depends on you For the sake of giving birth to Lingxue, I can give you a lighter sentence. Beat twenty lashes, shut your door and contemplate for a month, during this period you are not allowed to leave your room, and all meals are delivered to your room, and there are only vegetarian dishes and rice, no meat. After thinking about it for a month, copy the "Heart Sutra" three times a day, that is, once in the morning, at noon and at night."

"Eldest sister, I can ground my feet, I can be a vegetarian, and I can copy scriptures. But I really can't bear the twenty lashes, sister!" Gu Xinru cried. She had been beaten before and knew how painful it was.

"There is no room for negotiation. If you do something wrong, you must be punished. Especially you, you are my sister, and I can't be partial to you." Gu Xinling said, then looked at Qingyu, "Qingyu, can you relieve your anger?"

"Thank you, Miss, for making the decision for me." Qingyu was about to cry, she didn't want to trouble Gu Xinling with this matter, but now she still made Gu Xinling worry about it.

"Housekeeper, you are in charge of arranging people and supervising Aunt Gu, and there must be no mistakes. You can always come to me if you have anything to do." Gu Xinling said.

Gu Xinru's whole body is going to collapse. This is really a steal. She wanted to use Qingyu to give birth to a son to stabilize her position, and get Mo Ancheng back by the way, or if she has a son, there is no Mo Ancheng. That's okay, she can rely on her son now.However, now it is self-defeating, not only the plan is completely ruined, but also received such a severe punishment.

Gu Xinling asked Qingyu to go back to her room to rest, while she sat in the living room, making arrangements with the officials and a group of servant girls, it was Zhang Luo Mo Zihui's birthday party.

Mo Zihui went to study early in the morning, and Qiao Na sent her there.

Qiao Na comforted her all night and did not fall asleep until three or four in the morning, but she still woke up with red eyes early in the morning.

Because Qiao Na is recuperating, she occasionally goes to the newspaper office. Now she is considered a part-time job. Ye Jinxi knows Qiao Na's situation and will not make things difficult for her. After all, she is the daughter of an old friend and her capable person, so naturally she has to take care of her.Therefore, she only asked Jona to do what she could do, and only let Jona devote herself to work after recovering from her injuries.

After wandering around the newspaper office, Qiao Na returned to Mo's house and had lunch with Gu Xinling.

"Why is it just the two of us eating?" Qiao Na felt that it was too deserted.

"Isn't it good for me to accompany you?" Gu Xinling smiled, "Today I cleaned up Gu Xinru and grounded her in her own room. Aunt Zhao went out for dinner. Father, Mo Anlin, and Mo Anhang are all working. Huier is going to school .Isn’t it just the two of us? If it wasn’t for me, I would also like to take a rest and prepare for Hui’er’s birthday party. I think you will eat alone today, and I will also go to the hospital to work.”

"Hui Er's birthday party?" Qiao Na's eyes lit up immediately, "Xin Ling, did you tell Mo Anlin? Will he let Ye Luochen come to the party?"

"Mo Anlin agreed, he will punish Ye Luochen, and promise not to slap or cripple, so that Ye Luochen can be Huier's male companion in a personable manner. Tell Huier later, Huier will be happy to know " Gu Xinling said.

"That's right! Ye Luochen is what Huier is thinking about." Qiao Na smiled, "By the way, what do I need to do for the birthday party? Besides photography, photography is something I must do. I mean, I can still do it." Anything else."

"Hui'er's birthday party is also her coming-of-age ceremony. I want to make it more grand. You can help me think about it, watch the maids decorate the house, and write invitations, procedures, snacks, tea, dinners, dances, etc. Entertainment items and so on, we still need to refine it, and we must make it beautiful for Huier." Gu Xinling took a deep breath, "In preparation, there are indeed many small things that need to be paid attention to. Even if you don't help me, I will also force you to help me!"

"Hui'er's business, your business, I am naturally duty-bound." Qiao Na felt very happy. The more Gu Xinling treated her as hard labor and arranged work for her, the more she felt that Gu Xinling regarded her as a friend. But if you don't let her do anything and treat her politely, she will still be unhappy!

"However, don't jump around too much. Your head is like a watermelon that has been opened. You should take good care of it. Small things can be done, but don't make yourself too tired." Gu Xinling reminded.

"Xinling, what kind of metaphor are you using?" Jona was suddenly depressed, and pretended to pout, "Do you think it's appropriate to compare my beautiful head to a watermelon?"

"Inappropriate!" Gu Xinling nodded, and said seriously, "Then compare it to winter melon?"

"Xinling, you are so bad, why are you so skinny? You bully me too." Qiao Na was arguing with Gu Xinling at the dinner table, "You are the winter melon! You are still a pumpkin, a sweet potato, a melon... ..."

Gu Xinling also smiled, and joked with Qiao Na, "I am bitter melon! So many things are pressing down on me, look at my face, I have a bitter look on it. It's not bitter melon, what is it?"

The two were joking, but they seemed very happy.

Mo Chengde came home suddenly. Seeing Gu Xinling and Qiao Na's bright smiles, he couldn't help laughing, "What are you two talking about? Why are you smiling so happily? Say it, and make me, an old man, happy too."

"Uncle Mo, Xinling said that my head is like a watermelon, and that she is a bitter melon." Qiao Na smiled, "I said, it's pumpkin, melon and sweet potato!"

"You two, how can you compare yourself like this? You are all pretty girls, you should say they look like flowers and leaves! But since you want to be melons, let me tell you, you are fools." Chengde also joked, "Two cute little fools!"

"Dad, why did you come back temporarily at noon? Do you want to have dinner together?" Gu Xinling asked.

"I've already eaten in the cafeteria at the military headquarters, you two. I'll go back to my room to get some documents." Mo Chengde said, then turned out of the restaurant and went upstairs with his briefcase.

"Wait a minute!" Gu Xinling chased after Mo Chengde, "Dad, I don't think you look well, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No? I'm fine." Mo Chengde said, "I'll go upstairs first. Xinling, you and Qiao Na take your time."

"Stop!" Gu Xinling took out her pistol, "Don't move, otherwise, I'll shoot."

Qiao Na was terrified, "Xinling, what are you doing? He...he is Uncle Mo!"

"No, he's not!" Gu Xinling said firmly, "He's a counterfeit! Qiao Na, stand back and be careful. Go and call Mo Anlin."
