Gu family residence

The vermilion doors exude a sense of antiquity, and the white jade steps are covered in heart-wrenching fallen petals. The glazed tiles reflect radiant light, with pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water arranged exquisitely.

A few guards stood at the entrance, utterly bored, when a noise arose from the road not far away. They turned and saw a familiar sedan chair...

"Hey, is Thirtieth Aunt back?"

"Strange, usually Thirtieth Aunt doesn’t come back from the street until evening. Why is she back so early today?"

The guards at the door whispered amongst themselves.

At this moment, the sedan chair had already returned to the front door.

The maid hastily helped Aunt Yu down.

When the guards at the gate saw her, their eyes widened in shock. Who was this person? Her attire looked somewhat like Thirtieth Aunt, but... that face... it was too terrifying... her flesh and blood were mangled, resembling a pig’s head, and her features were completely unrecognizable.

This... this... could it be?

Who had the audacity of a leopard with a red heart to even dare to beat Thirtieth Aunt?

"Hey, hey, hey...! What on earth happened? How did Thirtieth Aunt end up like this?" The guard feigned helpfulness by stepping forward, but only he knew the real reason was his gossip-driven curiosity.

"Oh, don’t talk about it. Quickly go fetch the Doctor! Aunt is losing a lot of blood." The maid supported Aunt Yu while voicing her frustration.

Earlier incidents on the street may lead to future repercussions, as the maids were currently agitated and uncertain.

Aunt Yu had a nest-like hairdo, her face turned into a pig head, her clothes tattered. Her sole thought was to quickly return and complain to Old Master Gu, angrily scolding the guards: "Blindly foolish servants, hurry up and call the Doctor, just as annoying as that little cheap person of the Princess Consort of War Prince."

Finally, everyone heard clearly that Aunt Yu had been beaten by the Princess Consort of War Prince.

"Eldest madam is back, all idle people at the door clear the way."

At this moment, a luxurious sedan chair approached from the street, followed by a large crowd of servants.

Two robust Old Maids led the way in front of the bridge, loudly calling out even before reaching the gate.

Upon hearing this, the guards urgently said to Aunt Yu: "Oh no, madam is back, Thirtieth Aunt, quickly step aside."

Although Old Master Gu cherished Thirtieth Aunt greatly, the authority of the madam was significant and undeniable. Even Old Master Gu showed some respect towards the legitimate madam.

All concubines had to perform the kneeling ceremony upon seeing her.

Aunt Yu, bearing grievances from outside and relying on being the favored concubine of Old Master Gu, felt somewhat fearless and arrogantly said: "Why should I step aside? I’ve been hurt like this; can’t she make way for me?"

The guards exchanged glances. Since ancient times, they had never heard of a legitimate madam making way for a concubine.

Wasn’t Aunt Yu courting disaster by doing this?

While everyone was thinking this, the Eldest madam was helped down from the sedan by two Old Maids...

With a sweep of her phoenix eyes, she looked coldly at Aunt Yu and said expressionlessly: "Which madwoman is blocking the entrance and making a spectacle?"

Finally, she swept her gaze toward the guards and continued: "What are you doing? Allowing a madwoman to cause a commotion at the Gu family entrance? What kind of etiquette is this?"

The Eldest madam was about forty years old, dressed in a turquoise-blue dress made of high-grade cloud brocade, adorned with an expensive hairpin. Her features were dignified, and her face was beautiful, indicating that she was a beauty in her youth. Sadly, time spares no one, and despite her maintenance, fine lines had appeared at the corners of her eyes as she was, after all, forty.
