Chapter 1631 - 594: The Fake True Heiress (15)_3

This tornado-like plot, it developed way too damn fast!

He hadn’t even reacted, didn’t say a word in defense, and was just thrown out like this.

Clang!

The courtyard gate closed right in front of Gu Jingyuan.

The loud noise of the gate closing startled Gu Jingyuan awake.

"Ah Dian?"

Gu Jingyuan instinctively called out.

By now, it was completely dark, and the surroundings gradually fell silent.

Gu Jingyuan’s shout seemed a little out of place.

"If you’re not afraid of attracting attention, then keep shouting!"

Through the door, He Tiantian lowered her voice and said coldly.

Gu Jingyuan:... Of course I’m afraid of being discovered by others.

But he still wanted to explain things clearly to his Ah Dian and didn’t want to be left outside.

He opened his mouth to say something but feared that if he didn’t control his volume, the neighbors would hear him.

Scratching his head and pacing at the door, Gu Jingyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thinking of using "the old trick" again—climbing over the wall!

However, before he could take action, He Tiantian on the other side of the courtyard gate coldly said, "Don’t even think about climbing over the wall, I’ll cry ’thief’!"

Gu Jingyuan:...

He felt a bit frustrated, how did Ah Dian become so sharp-tongued?

Could it be that she truly was angry with him and wanted to sever ties?

Or was she playing hard to get?!

Fortunately, He Tiantian couldn’t hear Gu Jingyuan’s inner voice, otherwise, she would surely laugh and call him an "average guy".

"Alright, it’s late, the curfew will start soon, you’d better leave quickly!"

He Tiantian, not wanting to continue entangling with Gu Jingyuan, directly reminded him, "Also, you probably just got back from the hot spring village today, the Third Young Madam is certainly waiting for you at home."

With a virtuous wife and children at home, don’t sneaking around outside!

He Tiantian moved out of the Marquis Mansion because she truly didn’t want any ties with it and wasn’t adopting some retreat as a strategy.

Seeing He Tiantian’s insistence and knowing it was indeed late, Gu Jingyuan didn’t want to be caught by the patrolling officers enforcing the curfew, so he had no choice but to leave sheepishly.

"Third Young Master, where did you go again? The Third Young Madam was just asking about you!"

The servant Mozhu had been waiting at the second gate, and upon seeing Gu Jingyuan enter, hurriedly went to greet him.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Mozhu, Gu Jingyuan was suddenly reminded of the words He Tiantian angrily shouted earlier.

At that time, he hadn’t realized, but recalling it on his way back, he realized: it must have been a troublesome slave making it difficult, that’s why Ah Dian moved out of the Marquis Mansion and resented him so much!

Ah Dian must have misunderstood, thinking Mozhu acted under his orders to humiliate her in every way.

Wrongfully accused!

He cherished Ah Dian so much, how could he possibly humiliate her?

Such a troublesome slave!

It’s all Mozhu’s fault!

After being directly thrown out by He Tiantian, Gu Jingyuan was already filled with anger.

On his way back to the Marquis Mansion, he was worried about encountering patrolling officers and skulked around, sneaking this way and that, his anger rising even more!

Now finally seeing the "culprit", all Gu Jingyuan’s anger was directed at Mozhu.

Bang!

He directly kicked Mozhu to the ground: "What are you shouting for? Do I need to report to you where I go?"

He didn’t mention He Dian’s situation, because in the Marquis Mansion, Gu Jingyuan and He Dian’s relationship wasn’t so openly acknowledged.

Especially in the Pagoda Courtyard, under the watchful eyes of the Third Young Madam from the Ma Family, Gu Jingyuan felt even more guilty.

He casually found an excuse and gave Mozhu several more kicks.

"I don’t dare, Third Young Master! Please calm down! The servant... the servant was just concerned about you, so that’s why—"

Mozhu felt so wrongly accused, but being a servant, if the master wants to punish, all he can do is admit fault and beg for mercy.

"Hmph, alright, get lost."

After several kicks, seeing Mozhu’s pale face and blood slightly oozing from his lips, Gu Jingyuan finally stopped.

Carelessly cursing, he dismissed Mozhu.

Mozhu, enduring abdominal pain, struggled to get up from the ground, cautiously pretending to leave.

Gu Jingyuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "What did you just say? The Young Madam asked about me?"

Mozhu promptly stopped, ignoring the pain in his body, gritting his teeth to report: "Yes, Young Master. Just now the Young Madam asked where you went and said no one sent invitations to the mansion!"

Gu Jingyuan’s heart skipped a beat, what did Ma Family mean by that? Had she discovered something?

Secretly doubtful, Gu Jingyuan maintained a poised smile on his face, "Alright, I see, you may leave."

Just about to turn around, he caught a glimpse of Mozhu’s pale face and giant beads of cold sweat falling, feeling a bit soft-hearted, he added: "Find a doctor to have a proper look!"

With that said, he tossed a purse to Mozhu.

Mozhu:...

As a servant, what more could he say?

Although the Third Young Master hit him, he also gave him money for medical expenses, much better than many prodigal sons!
