Qiao Xi turned around confidently and saw the tall man. Her expression instantly stiffened. After a long time, she smiled awkwardly.

Gu Zheng’s expression was gentle as his deep eyes met Qiao Xi’s eyes that were filled with shock. He stared at her with a faint smile and did not say anything.

The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet, and Qiao Xi’s heart collapsed.

The middle-aged woman and her son retreated in fear. They knew very well that Gu Zheng’s methods were vicious, so they only dared to badmouth Gu Zheng behind his back. If Gu Zheng heard what they said just now, they would definitely die miserably.

The moment they saw Gu Zheng appear, their hair stood on end as if someone was grabbing their throats. They could not say a word.

“Take them away,” Gu Zheng ordered. Then, a few strong bodyguards appeared and dragged the two of them out. Only Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng were left in the surroundings.

Gu Zheng turned around and continued to stare at Qiao Xi with a burning gaze. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he teased, “Mrs. Gu, did you pretend to be a ghost to scare them just now?”

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched slightly.

It was over! Her image had collapsed!

Qiao Xi followed Gu Zheng back to Yun Court. After the two of them entered, Gu Zheng said slowly, “So, it turns out that Mrs. Gu cares about me so much. You heard them talking bad about me behind my back, so you attacked. Do you hate them so much?”

Qiao Xi nodded. Of course, she hated them because they were targeting Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng was clearly so outstanding and innocent, yet he was still cursed and there were rumors about him being spread.

After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng said gently, “The people you hate will never appear in front of you again.”

At night, Qiao Xi heard of a big matter. Gu Zheng’s third uncle’s family actually left the day before the ancestral worship ceremony. Lu Yan’s explanation to everyone was that Third Madam suddenly fell sick, so the family left early.

At this moment, in the Lu family’s residence.

Lu Xiang slammed the table and roared, “They actually left? We made him the general manager of the company, but this is how he repays us? That little b.a.s.t.a.r.d is still in Yun Court, but he ran away with his tail in between his legs. How useless!”

“They’ve already left. What’s the point of getting angry now?” Lu Yan interrupted impatiently and said casually, “They’re just a group of irrelevant people. They’re not important to us. Let’s move on. The most important thing now is how to deal with Gu Zheng.”

Lu Xiang’s anger gradually calmed down. She asked in a low voice, “Ah Yan, can we really stop Gu Zheng from entering the ancestral hall tomorrow?”

The Lu family’s ancestral worship ceremony would last for a total of two days. On the first day, everyone had to offer incense and pay their respects outside the ancestral hall. This was a group ceremony. The next day, the direct descendants of the Lu family would enter the ancestral hall to pay their respects. The people from the Lu branch family were not qualified to enter at all.

Gu Zheng was Lu Qingyun’s son. Logically speaking, he should attend the ancestral worship ceremony for two days, but Lu Yan would never let Gu Zheng partic.i.p.ate in the ceremony smoothly.

Lu Yan smiled sinisterly. “Rumor has it that it was Gu Zheng who poisoned Grandpa, causing Grandpa to be unconscious until today. I don’t care if it’s true or not, but I have to make it real!”

Lu Xiang frowned. “But…”

“Aunt, we have to take a gamble. We can’t let Gu Zheng return to the Lu family no matter what!”

Lu Yan looked in the direction of Yun Court through the window. As long as the old master remained unconscious, Gu Zheng would have to bear the infamy.

On the other hand, Qiao Xi was not idle either. She knew that Lu Yan would definitely stop Gu Zheng from partic.i.p.ating in the ancestral worship ceremony. He would use the excuse that Gu Zheng poisoned Old Master Lu, causing him to be unconscious.

A long time ago, there were rumors that Gu Zheng had angered Old Master Lu to the point of falling sick. Now, there were rumors that the old master was poisoned, so everyone naturally thought that Gu Zheng had poisoned him.

Lu Yan had long planned it out. He had to firmly pin the blame on Gu Zheng for Old Master Lu’s coma. After the ancestral worship ceremony began, he would join forces with everyone in the Lu family to ask Gu Zheng to leave. After all, he was the criminal who tried to kill his grandfather. How could such a person enter the ancestral hall?

However, what if Old Master Lu suddenly woke up at this moment? Not only would Lu Yan have no excuse, but Old Master Lu would also be suspected of pretending to be sick. Hence, Qiao Xi wanted Old Master Lu to wake up.

Now, the old master was lying in his room with the door closed and bodyguards guarding him. Even if the old master really woke up, the others would not know. Hence, she had to let others see the old master with their own eyes. Then, all the rumors would be buried.

As for the person who would see the old master wake up, she already had someone in mind.
