Luoxian Pavilion was right next door, and Gu Qingtong saw several servants pointing and whispering. A young girl, wearing only undergarments, lay on the ground with several shocking red marks on her back and chest. She quickly ordered Lüguo and Qiulu to help Luo Xiao, but saw that her face was deathly pale, her whole body trembling, and she would frantically wave her hands if anyone touched her, afraid of being beaten again.
Gu Qingtong saw that she hadn’t even opened her eyes, yet was so wary of them, looking pitiful. She could only order Luo Xue to hold her hand and personally picked her up.
“Gu Qingtong, what are you doing!” Liang Luoxian, hearing that Gu Qingtong had come to “stand up for justice”, rushed out furiously, pointing at Gu Qingtong.
Gu Qingtong casually glanced at her: “What do you think?”
“She is my person, how dare you touch her!”
“She is your apprentice, but not your possession. As for whether I dare or not, we both know the answer.”
“You…!” Liang Luoxian’s fighting capacity was clearly not on the same level as Gu Qingtong’s, who found her uninteresting and turned to leave.
“Gu Qingtong, put her down! She is my person!”
Here is the edited version of the article with irrelevant content removed:
“She is my apprentice’s sister. My apprentice is now begging me to save her, so I cannot stand by and do nothing.” Gu Qingtong noticed Luo Xiao was starting to speak nonsense, felt her forehead which was burning, and ordered Qiulu to call a doctor before leaving the courtyard.
Liang Luoxian realized she was being completely disregarded and chased after her, grabbing Gu Qingtong’s shoulder to snatch Luo Xiao.
Luo Xue, seeing this, anxiously rushed forward and bit her hard. Liang Luoxian, in pain, heavily slapped Luo Xue, breaking free from her bite.
Gu Qingtong quickly handed Luo Xiao to Lüguo and looked at Luo Xue, raising her hand towards Liang Luoxian.
“Stop!”
Gu Qingtong heard Han Yuan’an had returned and had to lower her raised hand, bowing: “Adoptive father.”
Han Yuan’an’s face was stern as he glanced at them, understanding the situation. He pointed at the timid servants: “Take these two sisters to Yan Hong.”
“Yes.”
