Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 239 Complaint

However, as soon as she stepped into the study, she heard an angry shout from inside: "You unfilial son, kneel down before me!"

The sudden shout was like a thunderclap, which really startled Su Yue.

Su Yue subconsciously raised her hand and picked at her ear, looking at Lord Gu sitting behind the desk with a suspicious expression.

She thought to herself: Has this cheapskate father lost his mind? When did she become the 'rebellious child' he was talking about?

"It's just sneaking out to play for a bit, is it really necessary to throw such a tantrum?"

Seeing that Su Yue stood still without moving, Lord Gu became even more furious.

He suddenly stood up, grabbed the whip that had been prepared on the desk, and without saying a word, raised his hand and lashed out at Su Yue.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yue was extremely agile. Just as the whip was about to strike her, she dodged it with a swift movement.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yue's face darkened, and she shouted at Lord Gu in an unfriendly tone, "Father, what exactly are you trying to do?"

I just arrived, and you've already started yelling at me and hitting me. Do you really not want me to come back?

If that's the case, just tell me clearly. At worst, I'll just turn around and leave, so I won't get in your way!

Lord Gu snorted coldly with a gloomy expression, pointed a finger at the person in front of him, trembling with anger, and roared, "Hmph, you unfilial son, you actually know how to come back!"

If I hadn't personally visited you today, I'd probably still be in the dark!

Did you just let what I said before go in one ear and out the other? How dare you ignore it like it was nothing!

It's one thing to sneak out of the mansion to play, but to shamelessly go to brothels and cause trouble is truly despicable!

"I'll teach you a lesson today, I'll beat you until your skin is torn and bleeding!"

Hearing this, Su Yue, who was standing to the side, did not change her expression at all, but still dodged left and right, trying to avoid the whip that Lord Gu was swinging, while stubbornly arguing, "Father, I just went out to have some fun. I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you so angry?"

However, Lord Gu was already furious and could not listen to his son's explanation. The whip in his hand fell like a storm.

He angrily cursed, "You wretched child, how dare you argue! You're so young and you're already not learning anything good. You just wander around and mess around all day. If you're not disciplined properly, won't you become a lawless playboy in the future?"

"Today I will break your legs, so you'll never set foot in those filthy places again!"

As Lord Gu roared and whipped, a series of crashing sounds filled the room as objects were smashed.

The once neatly arranged tables, chairs, vases, and other items were all destroyed, with broken porcelain shards flying everywhere, leaving the scene in complete disarray.

Upon hearing of this, Madam Gu Jiang Ying rushed over. When she pushed open the door to Lord Gu's study, the scene before her eyes filled her with secret joy.

The ground was littered with broken porcelain shards, resembling a chaotic battlefield, while the person she hated was being beaten and jumping around, trying to avoid Lord Gu's beatings and scoldings.

The beating was so severe that Lord Gu must be furious by now.

Seeing this, Jiang Ying secretly cheered, because she knew that the fiercer the beating, the angrier Lord Gu would be.

So she rushed forward and hugged Lord Gu tightly, pleading in a sweet voice, "Oh dear! Lord Gu, please stop hitting him! Don't upset yourself!"

Yuan'er definitely knows he was wrong, so please calm down!

As she spoke, she turned to look at Su Yue and scolded her sternly, "Yuan'er, what are you standing there for? Quickly apologize to your father! Do you really want to anger the Marquis to death?"

However, Su Yue now knew that this poisonous woman had deliberately chosen this moment to come.

She knew perfectly well that the "poisonous woman" Gu Yuan was talking about was deliberately adding fuel to the fire. It was clearly her cheap father who was in a bad mood and throwing a tantrum, so why should she be blamed?

Therefore, Su Yue didn't even bother to glance at Jiang Ying's words, let alone respond.

Now that she had been scolded and beaten, Su Yue thought she could finally go back to her room to rest.

So she turned and walked toward the door.

However, just as she reached the door, she found two burly men standing outside, who ruthlessly stopped her.

Seeing this, Su Yue turned around and glared fiercely at Lord Gu, loudly questioning, "Father, what do you mean by this? Haven't I already been beaten? Why are you still stopping me like this?"

"Hmph, you go to the ancestral hall and reflect on your actions!" Lord Gu, his face contorted with rage, flung Jiang Ying's hand away and strode towards the door.

Seeing this, Su Yue was speechless, and several black lines instantly appeared on her forehead.

Lord Gu seemed afraid that Su Yue would escape halfway, so he hurriedly ordered his men outside the door to escort Su Yue to the ancestral hall with him.

When they arrived at the ancestral hall, Su Yue noticed that the longevity lamps were always lit there.

Even in the pitch-black night, there was no sense of gloom or terror here.

On the contrary, the flickering lights revealed an aura of majesty that unconsciously inspired awe.

Su Yue merely stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall and glanced inside before Lord Gu, who was following closely behind, ruthlessly pushed her directly into the hall.

Immediately afterwards, Lord Gu also stepped in and walked straight to the table where the incense burner and offerings were placed, stopping in front of it.

He reached out and picked up three incense sticks from the side, lit them with the candle on the table, held the incense with both hands, bowed deeply to the ancestral tablet of the Gu family, and then prayed devoutly several times.

After completing these actions, Lord Gu remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "My ancestors, I am truly sorry to disturb you so late at night. It is only because my son is too naughty and unruly, and he does not know how to repent for his mistakes."

If this has disturbed the spirits of your esteemed elders, I hope you will not blame me. Let this young man bear all the blame; I will now take my leave.

After hearing what Lord Gu said, Su Yue muttered to herself: What kind of things is this cheap old man saying!

They actually complained about me in front of our ancestral tablets! How cunning and treacherous!

Then, Lord Gu glared at Su Yue, and then, like a proud peacock, gracefully walked out of the ancestral hall.

With a crisp sound of the door closing, the ancestral hall's main gate was locked tightly, trapping Su Yue inside.
