chapter 7 The Crown Princess whose engagement was annulled (7)

Ethan Gu's sudden appearance caught Wang, the eunuch, completely off guard. In the capital city, who didn't know how precious the daughter of Prime Minister Gu and Princess Chang was? Now, because of his words, Miss Gu had fainted. Prime Minister Gu and Princess Chang would surely not spare him.

The body's reactions are often the most honest. Before even thinking about how to clear his name, his trembling legs knelt uncontrollably.

"Greetings, Lord Prime Minister!" The eunuch's voice quivered like waves, making the palace maids and eunuchs behind him worry about their own future.

However, Ethan Gu paid him no attention. He strode past Wang, the eunuch, and others, arriving in front of Lilith Jin, scolding him discontentedly, "Chengye Gu, is this how you protect your younger sister? Allowing others to insult her like this?"

Wang, the eunuch, closed his eyes, feeling even more hopeless. If the Prime Minister could berate his only son like this, how could he easily spare the rest of them?

"Father, it's my fault!" Tom Gu said, feeling his fingers pinched as he lowered his head. He saw his fainted sister, Lilith Jin, quickly blink at him.

Tom Gu: "..."

So, after worrying so much, his sister had been faking her "illness" all along?

Ethan Gu coldly said, "As long as you understand your mistake, go home and accept your family's punishment."

"Yes..."

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry and take your sister back to her room. If her condition worsens, I'll hold you accountable!" Ethan Gu scolded again.

Tom Gu had no temper left. He picked up Lilith Jin and returned to the courtyard.

Once they left, Wang, the eunuch, began to wail.

"Lord Prime Minister, it's all a misunderstanding. I was only..."

"Earlier, I heard something about 'Three Obediences and Four Virtues.' What did you mean by that?" Ethan Gu interrupted.

"I..."

"From a young age, my daughter was raised by the Princess and the Grand Princess Consort, my mother-in-law. Is your comment questioning my family's values or doubting the education of the Grand Princess Consort?" Ethan Gu's words made Wang, the eunuch, tremble, and he prostrated himself on the ground.

Even if he had a hundred times more courage, he wouldn't dare to comment on the values of the Gu family or the education of the Grand Princess Consort.

"Lord Prime Minister, I beg for forgiveness! It was a slip of the tongue on my part, and I deserve to die a thousand deaths. This has nothing to do with the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince, I swear!"

However, the more terrified and desperate Wang, the eunuch, became, the more indifferent and gentle Ethan Gu's expression became.

When Wang, the eunuch, had banged his head enough times to break the skin, Ethan Gu finally said to the people around him, "Are you all deaf and blind? Can't you see that Wang Gonggong has injured his forehead? Hurry and fetch a physician for him."

"I'm fine, I spoke disrespectfully to Miss Gu..."

"You really don't need to see a physician, Gonggong?"

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Prime Minister. I am indeed fine."

"In that case, someone, escort Wang Gonggong and his party back to the palace to report."

As Wang, the eunuch, was being escorted away by Gu's household guards, he exuded an aura of impending doom. The mission had failed, and he had angered Prime Minister Gu once again. Going back to report like this, the Queen Mother was unlikely to let him live through the night!
