"Xijiu, dad will not punish you, nor will he punish your maids again. You are right, not only do they have no faults, but they have merit. Come here! Each of these maids will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver as a token of appreciation."
The guard beside him agreed and went to the warehouse to collect the money.
Gu Tianyi was stunned. She originally invited Gu Xietian here to cause trouble for Gu Xijiu and to see her laugh, but she didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
"Dad, when they offend you, they clearly ignore you..." She wanted to change the situation again.
Gu Xietian waved his hand and interrupted her: "They are loyal to the Lord and deserve to be rewarded. You don't have to say any more!"
Gu Tianyi had no choice but to shut up.
Gu Xietian looked at Gu Xijiu: "Xijiu, why did you give such an order?"
Gu Xijiu lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Xijiu likes to be quiet by nature, and doesn't want to be disturbed frequently. I don't even want to see some people come uninvited, claiming that they are family members, and randomly barging into my place like a demonstration. .”
Her words obviously meant something. Gu Tianyi's face turned red and she couldn't help but said angrily: "Who are you talking about?!"
Gu Xijiu was not even interested in taking a look at her. She just looked at Gu Xietian: "General Gu, does my order violate the laws of the family?"
Gu Xietian shook his head: "Don't violate it!" The Gu family has no such family rules, and of course there are no such rules in the national laws.
Although Gu Xietian doesn't care about the affairs of the back house, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything. He still has a vague idea of what happened to his daughter. He knows that she is angry with these sisters and that she is not lovable... but he only knows a little bit about it. .
It wasn't until that day that he saw the food brought out by Gu Xijiu in the small courtyard and lived in a shabby courtyard that he knew what kind of inhuman treatment his daughter had been subjected to.
He felt guilty for this daughter. 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, just give me your instructions."
Gu Xietian felt a pang in his heart when he looked at his daughter who obviously wanted to distance herself from him! Suddenly I felt extremely regretful.
He had seen this daughter occasionally. She used to cower and hide behind others, but the eyes she looked at him were full of unconcealable longing, longing for his loving glance, longing for him to treat his other children like he did. , touched her head and said a few words of praise.
However, no! He had never given her even such meager tenderness. Every time he saw her, he would either turn a blind eye or scold her, making her shrink even more. He once saw with his own eyes the faint light in those eyes completely disappear...
He was even a little happy at that time, as if he could get revenge on her mother, the woman who dared to abandon him and would rather jump off a cliff than look at him again.
He didn't know whether the woman had been retaliated to such an extent, but it was true that his behavior pushed her daughter further and further away.
When he realized this and wanted to make up for the lack of fatherly love, the other party no longer wanted it. He kept calling him General Gu and looked at him like a stranger. He was eager to close the distance but couldn't find a way.
