Chapter 182 Hitting the wall
When Gu Jin rushed to the school, a group of servants from the Li Mansion had surrounded the school.
The crowd of onlookers formed a thick layer, and with the addition of parents who were worried about their children, the entire street was blocked.
Ruyi squeezed for a long time but failed to get in. Instead, she was pushed to the ground by the crowd. Wu Mu smiled mockingly, "You are so clever."
Ruyi's face flushed with shame for a moment, "You can do it if you can!"
Wu Mu glanced at her, crossed his arms and stepped forward, saying coldly, "We are at the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, all outsiders please get out of the way!"
The common people were afraid of the powerful from the bottom of their hearts, and when they heard this, they immediately made way for them. The originally noisy streets unexpectedly became orderly.
Ruyi puffed her lips unconvinced, "You are just a fox taking advantage of the tiger's might."
Wu Mu corrected calmly, "That's called using the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force, idiot."
If you don't use the simplest method, what kind of person would you be if you weren't a fool?
The Li family's chief steward was standing in front of the school gate with an arrogant look on his face. The children in the room didn't know why, so they curiously poked their heads out.
Gu Jin frowned.
How could she allow them to run wild in this sacred place of academy that she had painstakingly built?
"Who are these bastards who dare to surround my house in broad daylight?" Gu Jin pretended not to know the other party's identity and cursed him first.
"Emu, go to Jingzhao Prefecture and tell them that a group of lawless people have come here to see if they are the remnants of the previous dynasty who want to rebel!"
Wu Mu nodded and responded coldly, "Yes!"
The originally stern housekeeper of the Li Mansion immediately became polite upon hearing this, and pointed at her own face and said with a smile: "Third Young Madam, don't you remember me?"
Gu Jin glanced at him and said coldly, "Do I have to remember you just because you are ugly?"
Hearing the laughter around him, the old steward of the Li Mansion blushed and said hurriedly, "I am the steward of the Li Mansion. When you followed my aunt back to the Li Mansion before, I led the way for you."
Li Fu relied on his important position in the court and did not show much respect to the people from Anding Marquis' Mansion, let alone himself, an orphan without a father or a mother.
"Oh..." Gu Jin nodded, and under the expectant eyes of the Li Mansion housekeeper, he said indifferently: "I can't remember."
Li's housekeeper: "..."
Ruyi was very discerning and brought a chair for Gu Jin. Gu Jin sat down with her skirt stroked. Her calm and composed manner showed the demeanor of a noble man.
Upon seeing this, the butler of the Li Mansion couldn't help but sigh inwardly, the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion is really good at nurturing people. The once stupid Miss Gu now looks like someone who has the potential to be in a higher position.
"Even if you are from the Li family, what qualifications do you have to surround my yard?" Gu Jin raised his chin, his eyes cold and majestic.
Gu Jin is not a person who likes to put on airs, but if she doesn't teach these people a lesson, if the Li Mansion dares to surround her school today, the Liu Mansion and Zhang Mansion will follow tomorrow!
"Third Young Madam, our two families are related..."
Gu Jin sneered, not giving him the chance to establish a relationship with her, "First, I am now the wife of the Marquis of Qingyun, personally appointed by His Majesty. My rank is far higher than your master's. Your actions are clearly an act of insubordination.
Secondly, the only relative to your family is my second sister. My mother’s surname is Zhao, but I don’t have any relatives with the surname Li.”
Seeing that Gu Jin was clearly not giving the Li family face, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion also put away his smile and said, "Madam Hou, we are not here to make trouble, but to look for Mr. Shen."
"If you want to find Shen Wuji, just follow the rules. But whose rules are you following to surround my house?" Gu Jin was relentless.
The housekeeper of the Li Mansion did not expect that Gu Jin would be so difficult to deal with now. They did this just to put pressure on Shen Wuji and let him see the strength of the Li family clearly, but Gu Jin's temperament has changed too much.
After weighing the pros and cons, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion could only say, "Madam Hou, you don't know, but today my master kindly invited Mr. Shen to come to our house for tea, but who knew that he would offend my young lady..."
"What?" Before he could finish, Gu Jin raised his voice and said, "There is such a thing!
I hate those frivolous men the most. If Shen Wuji is really like this, I will be the first one to not forgive him."
"Emu, go to Jingzhao Prefecture and report to the authorities. Don't let Miss Li suffer any injustice!"
Seeing Wu Mu was about to leave, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly blocked Wu Mu's way, "No need, no need."
"Why not? A woman's reputation is so important, even if Shen Wuji is the new champion!"
Gu Jin's obvious attitude of not fearing trouble put the steward of the Li Mansion in a position where he could not come down. If he continued to stop him, it would be tantamount to slapping himself in the face.
But if we report it to the authorities, the two families will become enemies and how can they get married?
Just when the housekeeper of the Li Mansion was in a dilemma, a middle-aged man walked over.
"Master!" The housekeeper of the Li Mansion felt as if he had been pardoned.
Li Yuan glanced at him and scolded him in a low voice: "Useless thing!"
He didn't want to show up, but this idiot was always led by Gu Jin!
Li Yuan looked at Gu Jin who was sitting calmly on the chair, knowing that he was no longer the little girl who could be bullied, so he did not say those polite words to fool her, and said straight to the point: "Shen Zhuangyuan did not mean to bump into my daughter, and I don't want to investigate it.
But girls are shy, and as a father, I can’t just ignore Ying’er’s suicide attempt at home. I think Madam Hou can understand my dilemma.”
Li Yuan's words were well-reasoned and did not give Gu Jin any chance to make trouble.
Gu Jin raised his eyebrows. He was worthy of being the Minister of Personnel. He was much more capable in what he said and did than Li Ying'er, who was so brainless.
Gu Jin was about to speak when Shen Wuji walked out of the school calmly. He was holding two books in his right hand and wearing a blue shirt. He looked handsome and elegant, and he really looked like a young talent.
"I was in class just now, please agree to it for me." Shen Wuji said casually.
Li Yuan looked at Shen Wuji with a burning gaze. Coming from a poor family, he had achieved two honors at once. This young man would surely become a great man in the future.
His family is not the only one who is on the list of candidates for the son-in-law, so he has to take the initiative!
Gu Jin understood the Li family's intention. It was almost impossible for Li Ying'er to find a family of equal status in the capital with her reputation, so they set their sights on the new top scholar who had no background.
only……
This number one scholar was not the gentleman that the Li family had imagined.
"Master Li."
Shen Wuji bowed, his eyes clear, "Today I accidentally ran into Miss Li with wet shoes and socks in your mansion garden, and accidentally saw Miss Li's jade feet."
Gu Jin understood in his heart that this was Meng Lang's method.
"Since it is Mr. Shen's fault, Mr. Shen must bear the responsibility."
Li Yuan smiled slightly, showing that he knew the current situation.
Shen Wuji frowned and said seriously: "As a grown man, I cannot let Miss Li suffer.
How about I find a place to take off my shoes and socks, and then Sir Li can call Miss Li over and watch for as long as she wants? "
Li Yuan was stunned. For the first time in his life, he found it unbelievable.
Gu Jin tried hard to suppress his smile, not knowing who to sympathize with.
The Li family hit a wall when trying to morally blackmail Shen Wuji!
