Gu Zhenkang had always disliked Gu Chaoyan, and right now, he truly had no intention of sparing her. He looked twisted and furious.
Mrs. Gu was chuckling inwardly - someone was finally able to punish her! She deserved this for what she did to her back in the court!
Hearing that her son was going to beat Chaoyan, Madame Gu got so anxious that she kept making unclear noises in the chair, but she was suffering from her stroke so she could not utter a clear word at all.
Gu Zhenkang was annoyed by her noise, so he ignored her totally.
However, Gu Chaoyan was not at all anxious. Standing motionlessly in composure, she said calmly after a short while. "Princess Gu was the Princess of the King, but was having an affair with some other man. That was a sin that could have gotten all of us killed."
"…"
"However, everyone in the Gu Mansion is doing fine, only because I turned to Lord Huai for help."
"…"
"Now you are going to beat me?"
