Chapter 67 Don't Punish Our Lady
"Xijiu, Daddy will not punish you, nor will you punish your maids again. You are right, they are not only innocent, but have merit. Come here! These maids will each reward thirty taels of silver as a token of encouragement."
The guard beside him promised to go to the warehouse to collect the money.
Gu Tianyi was dumbfounded, she originally teased Gu Xietian to trouble Gu Xijiu, to see her jokes, but she never expected that things would turn out like this.
"Father, they offended you because they clearly despised you..." She wanted to turn things around again.
Gu Xietian waved his hand and interrupted her: "They are loyal and deserve to be rewarded. You don't need to say any more!"
Gu Tianyi could only shut up.
Gu Xietian looked at Gu Xijiu: "Xijiu, why did you give such an order?"
Gu Xijiu lowered her eyes, and said indifferently: "Xijiu is naturally quiet and doesn't want to be disturbed frequently. I don't even want to see some people come here uninvited, relying on themselves as Gu's family, randomly barging into my place like a demonstration .”
Her words obviously meant something, Gu Tianyi's pretty face flushed, and she couldn't help but angrily said: "Who are you talking about?!"
Gu Xijiu didn't even have any interest in taking a look at her, she just looked at Gu Xietian: "General Gu, is my order like this against the law of the family?"
Gu Xietian shook his head: "No violation!" The Gu family does not have such family rules, and of course there are no such laws in the country.
Although Gu Xietian doesn't care about the affairs of the back house, it doesn't mean he doesn't know anything. He still has a vague idea of what happened to this daughter. He knows that she is angry with these sisters, and he knows that she is not likable...but he only knows a little bit. That's all.
It wasn't until that day when he saw Gu Xijiu serving food in the small courtyard and living in a dilapidated courtyard that he knew what kind of inhuman treatment this daughter had suffered.
He felt guilty about this daughter, so he took a step forward and held Gu Xijiu's hand: "Xijiu, my father came to you this time to tell you something."
Gu Xijiu took a step back and pulled back her hand: "General Gu can give you orders if you need anything."
Gu Xietian felt a pain in his heart when he looked at his daughter who obviously wanted to distance himself from him! Suddenly very regretful.
He also saw this daughter occasionally a few times. She used to cower and hide behind others, but she looked at him with an unconcealable longing, longing for his loving glance, longing for him to treat other children the same way. , patted her head, and praised her a few words.
However, no! Even if he had such meager warmth, he never gave her. Every time he saw her, he either turned a blind eye or scolded her a few words, which made her shrink even more. He once saw with his own eyes that the faint light in those eyes completely disappeared...
He was even a little happy at that time, as if he was taking revenge on her mother, the woman who dared to abandon him and would rather jump off the cliff than look at him again.
He didn't know if that woman was retaliated to the point of revenge, but it was true that he pushed this daughter further and further away because of his various behaviors.
And when he realized this and wanted to make up for this lack of fatherly love, the other party didn't want it anymore. She kept claiming to call him General Gu, and looked at him like looking at a stranger. He was eager to close this distance but couldn't find a way.
