The gatekeeper and a few old women were near the door. When they saw Gu Yanfei, they bowed. “Second Lady.”

...

Before he could finish speaking, a rotten egg suddenly flew in from outside the residence, over the tall wall. It hit the bluestone brick ground with a bang, and the broken, rotten egg emitted an indescribable smell.

Everyone frowned and covered their noses.

Gu Yanfei instructed calmly, “Open the door.”

The gatekeeper looked at the egg yolks and eggshells on the ground. He was worried that the group of troublemakers outside would bump into Gu Yanfei, so he couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment, but he still agreed respectfully. “Yes, Second Lady.”

Hence, with a creak, the new vermilion door of the Gu residence opened.

At a glance, Gu Yanfei saw dozens of men, women, and children gathered at the main entrance, each with a different appearance. They were all huffing and puffing, their faces flushed with anger, pounding their chests and stomping their feet, crowding the area around the gate, layer upon layer.

There were many vegetables, leaves, and melon skins on the ground at the door. It was a mess.

Seeing the door of the Gu Mansion open, the commoners surrounding the door were all shocked.

Despite their scolding, they never expected that someone from the Gu Mansion would come out. They all stood there in astonishment, gazing at the young girl dressed in a pale blue garment as she gracefully crossed the high threshold and walked out from within the residence.

The beautiful girl’s facial features were exquisite, like a pearl or a beautiful jade. She was elegant and incomparable. Her clothes were very simple and clean. Her snow-green dress flowed like water and glowed like the moonlight.

The spring breeze blew past the girl’s black mane horns, causing her dress to flutter. At first glance, the girl had the aura of a banished immortal.

This girl was really beautiful. She was like a fairy who had descended into the mortal world!

The people outside the manor looked at Gu Yanfei in a daze. Most of them looked stunned, and some of them looked a little afraid. Some of them even subconsciously took a few steps back.

It was in the nature of the people to fear those in authority.

In the crowd, someone asked at the top of his voice, “Is this Gu Ce’s daughter?”

“Yes!” The other person replied affirmatively. “It must be her!”

Right on the heels of that, the others started cursing again. “Her father is a traitor. This is the daughter of a traitor. Like father, like daughter!”

“That’s right. Because of her father, so many people died in Yangzhou. The father’s sins are paid for by the children. She’s also a sinner!”

“That’s right, that’s right. Her father has committed a huge crime. She should atone for her father’s sins. Why should she still live a good life here?!”

“Scram!”

“The Gu family, get out of the capital!”

These people became more and more agitated as they scolded. All of them held their heads high and felt that they were righteous, and the people from the Gu family were all sinners who had let the Great Jin down.

When Juan Bi heard this, his face couldn’t help but turn red. She felt aggrieved and indignant for her lady. Her small mouth opened slightly, and she wanted to say something, but Gu Yanfei beat her to it. “Shut up!” she shouted at the crowd.

Gu Yanfei was a little annoyed. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have given the cat to Xia Houqing. It could still be useful now.

Her tone was very light, and her voice was cold and otherworldly. Every word hit everyone’s ears, as if it could strike their souls directly, with a strange power that could cleanse the soul.

This was the merit she had obtained from saving those children last time. It was returned to her by the Heaven’s Will of this small world.

The noisy voices outside the manor disappeared in an instant. The people outside the manor seemed to be mute as the surroundings fell silent.

Juan Bi, the concierge, and the others looked at this scene in shock. They had a surreal feeling as they looked at Gu Yanfei.

“My father didn’t commit treason,” Gu Yanfei said clearly, her eyes cold.

These words seemed to have an enlightening effect. The group of people outside the residence became even quieter. The streets were so quiet that it was as if time had stopped.

After a long silence, a hunched, gray-haired old man walked out of the crowd with a walking stick, his footsteps trembling slightly.

The gray-robed elder pointed at Gu Yanfei and cursed. “My two sons were both under Gu Ce back then. They were buried alive by the State of Yue.”

“I only have two sons. One was 30 years old when he died, and the other was only 18 years old. My youngest son wasn’t even married yet… They were still so young. I can’t even collect their corpses. They’ve probably become lonely ghosts now!”

“This is all Gu Ce’s fault!”

The gray-robed elder’s voice was hoarse. Every word seemed to have erupted from his chest. The grief and desolation in his tone deeply shocked the others around him..
