Dear Commander-in-Chief

Chapter 249: The Country Girl From Qing Cheng

The door opened!

Familiar scenes and familiar people greeted her eyes.

“Young Lady, you’re back! Auntie Qiu missed you!”

“Miss, Xiao Qiu will help you get water and wash your hands... Do you want to change your clothes?”

“A poor girl from a rural place like Qing Cheng actually has the cheek to put on the airs of a big miss in our Gu family in the Imperial Capital. Does she not know how to use the washroom?!”

“That’s right. Old Qiu, Xiao Qiu, what Eldest Young Lady? Are you mistaken? I only know our Eldest Young Lady Yuanyuan and Young Lady Xuexue. When did our Gu family have an additional Young Lady? Could it be that she was picked up from the streets?”

Everyone was talking at once. Familiar old servant Auntie Qiu and her daughter, Xiao Qiu, greeted them enthusiastically.

There was also Steward Zhao from the second branch and his wife, Zhao Shi, who looked down on others.

They quarreled happily.

Gu Qiqi looked over coldly. This scene was really identical to her previous life!

There was no change at all!

In her previous life, she returned to the Gu family in the Imperial Capital to visit her grandfather on New Year’s Eve when she was 19 years old.

She was immediately mocked and ridiculed by the housekeeper, Madam Zhao.

Back then, she was a person who was meek and afraid of trouble.

She was also foolishly loyal to Gu Meifeng’s teachings and wanted to maintain a low profile so that she wouldn’t get into an argument with others.

Thus, no matter how rude the servants were, she only knew how to tolerate them. She prioritized peace.

In the end, the other party stepped all over her!

They always made things difficult for her and caused trouble for her.

That new year, she became the biggest laughing stock of the Gu family in the Imperial Capital. Be it gatherings, visiting relatives, visiting friends, going out to shop and watching concerts... She would inexplicably be embarrassed at every occasion.

In the end, she even accidentally smashed Grandpa’s most precious porcelain.

Although her grandfather didn’t say anything, she was punished by Gu Qiushan to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights!

It was the new year. Others were having fun eating and drinking, but she was kneeling on the cold tiles of the ancestral hall, shivering. From then on, her knees were injured and she never recovered from her illness.

That year, almost all her relatives and friends unanimously agreed that she was a failure.

“Gu Qiqi is really born stupid. No wonder she couldn’t attend a good university, much less inherit the Gu family’s business.”

“This kind of idiot can only work casually in the hospital to pass his days.”

“Gu Xuexue is the only capable one...”

Thinking about the humiliation she had experienced in the Gu family in the Imperial Capital, the cold smile on Gu Qiqi’s lips became increasingly bone-chilling.

Should someone else kneel in the ancestral hall in this lifetime?

She will let some people have a taste of this bone-piercing coldness and fall ill for the rest of their lives.

She said lightly, “Since when has the Gu family been so lawless? Do all the servants have nothing to do anymore and are idle enough to gossip at the entrance?”

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were stunned.

They never expected that this girl from the countryside would actually dare to talk back.

Didn’t Gu Meifeng say that this bookworm was inexperienced and could be bullied as much as they wanted?

Why did it seem like that wasn’t the case at all?

Although Gu Qiqi wasn’t dressed well and didn’t have any decent jewelry on her, nor did she have Miss Xuexue’s sweet words and actions, her aura was very strong!

They were stunned for a while and said indignantly, “What do you, a country bumpkin, know about the Gu family’s rules?”

Gu Qiqi said coldly, “I don’t know, but Grandpa should know.”

Auntie Qiu hurriedly said, “That’s right. Old Master is waiting for the Young Lady in the study room. If we delay, can you bear the responsibility?”

Upon hearing that Gu Qiqi was specially invited by Old Master Gu, the Zhao couple’s expression changed.

Didn’t Gu Meifeng say that the Old Master didn’t like this blockhead?

The two’s eyes flickered. Unwillingly, they could only lower their heads to Gu Qiqi. “Then, please—”

They were about to guide Gu Qiqi into the house when...

Suddenly, an obedient and domineering female voice greeted her. “Grandfather’s instructions? Hmph, we were instructed by Grandmother not to let this idiot step into our Gu family!”
