Chapter 2 Vicious sisters

Gu Qing Zhou persuaded the steward who picked her up to give up the train and go to Yue City by boat instead.

She did not want to be found by the man and have to give the Browning back.

Yue City was so big. If she did not take the train into the city, she did not believe that he would find her easily. Even if he found her, Gu Qing Zhou would hide the gun or sell it on the black market for a high price, and she would never admit it.

“The train encounters control officers every once in a while and needs to be inspected. I’m scared. How about we take the boat instead and go into the city from the pier?” Gu Qing Zhou bit her lip lightly.

With her full, cherry red lips, snow white teeth, and a pair of eyes glistening as she stared, she softened people’s hearts.

Although Steward Wang was a rough person, he also had a tenderness towards women, “Don’t be afraid, Miss Qing Zhou. Let’s get off at the next stop and tae the boat instead.”

At the next stop, they indeed took the boat.

After boarding the boat, Gu Qing Zhou beame more friendly to Steward Wang.

“For as long as I can remember, I’ve been with Mother Li in the country. I don’t even know who’s in the family…” Gu Qing Zhou asked Steward Wang for some information.

Steward Wang was a good talker and he spoke all about the Gu family.

Gu Qing Zhou nodded. It was pretty much what she had already known.

The boat was slower than the train and they arrived at Yue City five days late.

Carrying a brown rattan suitcase, Gu Qing Zhou stood at the door of the Gu family’s mansion and looked at the French-style building carefully.

“This is my grandfather’s property.” Gu Qing Zhou thought.

Gu Qing Zhou’s maternal grandfather was a wealthy businessman in Yue City, and his ancestor was a cloth maker.

After her mother had a miscarriage, her only uncle smoked opium cream and was stabbed to death in a smokehouse.

Her grandfather with his white hair had lost two children in a row. Unable to bear it, he died and all the family business fell into the hands of Gu Qing Zhou’s father.

“Miss Qing Zhou, we’ve arrived at your home.” Steward Wang smiled and knocked on the big iron gate.

“Yes, I’m home.” Gu Qing Zhou sighed.

This was her grandfather’s property and it should be hers alone, so of course she was home.

She would slowly get her things back.

She narrowed her eyes, revealing a faint arc, and smiled shyly and innocently.

I’ve grown up and it’s time for the family business to come back to me. Gu Qing Zhou thought to herself with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

Steward Wang sighed inwardly, “This Miss Qing Zhou is too obedient, like a rabbit. The rest of the family are craftier than foxes, they would definitely harm her.”

Thinking of this, Steward Wang felt pity.

Along the way, he had come to like Gu Qing Zhou quite a bit, and did not want her to die so pitifully.

As they entered the gate, a tall woman wearing a fine cloud brocade qipao stood on the stairs leading up to the main hall. She watched Gu Qing Zhou quietly with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

She was well maintained, about 35 or 36 years, with a narrow waist and graceful figure.

Qing Zhou? She called softly, her voice gentle and kind.

This is Gu Qing Zhou’s stepmother, Qin Zheng Zheng.

Qin Zheng Zheng was the cousin of Gu Qing Zhou’s biological mother, but she secretly communicated with Gu Qing Zhou’s father, Gu Gui Zhang, and became Gu Gui Zhang’s other woman.

At that time, Gu Gui Zhang and Gu Qing Zhou’s mother had just gotten married.

Qin Zheng Zheng gave birth three years earlier than Gu Qing Zhou’s mother, so Gu Qing Zhou had an older sister and brother, both of whom had her father’s blood.

How ironic!

After becoming a legitimate wife, Qin Zheng Zheng gave birth to another pair of twin daughters.

Gu Gui Zhang and Qin Zheng Zheng, with their four children, lived in Gu Qing Zhou’s grandfather’s house and they renamed the building the “Gu Mansion”.

Gu Qing Zhou’s lips were slightly raised and her smile was shy and bashful. With slender eyelashes that covered the chill in her eyes, she did not speak.

Qin Zheng Zheng and Steward Wang regarded her as shy.

“This is the madam. Miss Qing Zhou, call her mother.” Steward Wang reminded Gu Qing Zhou.

Gu Qing Zhou lowered his eyes and smiled even more shyly. She would never call her “mother”.

Was Qin Zheng Zheng worthy?

Don’t embarrass the child. Qin Zheng Zheng was kind and gentle. She took the rattan suitcase from Gu Qing Zhou’s hand, “Come in.”

Yes. Gu Qing Zhou’s voice was like a mosquito. She stepped across the high door threshold.

The Gu family’s main hall was luxuriously decorated with a complete set of Italian furniture and an Italian chandelier, of which the branches were intricate and gorgeous.

Gu Qing Zhou sat in the living room drinking tea, and Qin Zheng zheng asked her a lot of questions.

Very friendly.

Gu Qing Zhou played a shy, clumsy, reticent, and prudent country girl perfectly.

She disguised herself as a harmless little white rabbit.

Qin Zheng Zheng “investigated” for a long time and came to the conclusion that she was a “little white rabbit”.

This child was easy to handle and she was not like her biological mother in the slightest. She relaxed her vigilance against her.

She behaved well and was timid. Qin Zheng Zheng could accommodate her temporarily for a few days.

In the evening, Gu Gui Zhang came back from work.

Gu Gui Zhang had a black Dodge with a chauffeur. When he got out of the car, Qin Zheng Zheng and Gu Gui Zhang greeted him at the gate.

He was wearing a black cloak. Inside, he had on a suit with brown vertical stripes, a vest of the same colour, and a black tie. A gold watch hung from his vest pocket and the gold chain glowed with a golden light.

“Your father is home.” Qin Zheng Zheng said to Gu Qing Zhou with a smile.

When Gu Gui Zhang saw Gu Qing Zhou, his footsteps stopped. He had a slightly surprised expression.

“Oh, it’s Qing Zhou.” Gu Gui Zhang looked at Gu Qing Zhou, “You’re already grown up…”

Gu Qing Zhou was wearing a moon white cardigan with scattered cherry blossoms, and a long dark green skirt. Her clothes were very rustic, but she was born beautiful. She had two braids hanging down the sides of her face, which were very elegant, and she looked better than all the girls in town with short hair.

Gu Gui Zhang was very satisfied. 

At dinner, Gu Qing Zhou saw everyone in the family.

Gu Qing Zhou saw the four children and the two mistresses of the Gu family.

She lowered her eyes and looked at them calmly.

“Your braids are ridiculous, who still has braids now?” After dinner, the fourth young lady of the Gu family, Gu Ying with hair cut short to her ears, pulled Gu Qing Zhou’s long braids.

Gu Ying felt jealous when she saw that her father had a good impression of Gu Qing Zhou.

Gu Qing Zhou’s eyes flickered, and she smiled without saying a word.

“A girl should have long braids!” Gu Gui Zhang was displeased. 

Fourth Gu was scolded by her father and pouted in grievance. She and the third miss, Gu Wei, were twins. They were both 13 years old this year and they especially liked to play pranks.

“When she falls asleep, we’ll go and cut her braids!” Fourth Gu was angry, but she came up with an idea.

Her father liked Gu Qing Zhou’s braids? Then they’ll cut it off, see how she pleases her father then!

“Okay, okay.” Third Gu responded excitedly.

The twin sisters discussed entering Gu Qing Zhou’s bedroom that night.

Gu Qing Zhou’s bedroom was arranged to be on the third floor.

The children were all on the third floor.

Gu Qing Zhou’s room was connected to the room of her half-brother, Gu Shao, and the two shared a balcony.

“There’s no other way, this room is the only one left on the third floor.” The servant explained, “Miss Qing Zhou, make do with it first.”

Gu Qing Zhou tried the balcony door. It could be locked, so she rested at ease.

Her room was full of old furniture like rosewood cabinets, tables, and a carved wooden bed.

The lilac brocade quilt was also comfortable.

There was only one bathroom on the third floor. 

When Gu Qing Zhou went to take a bath, it was occupied by her half-sister first, then her half-sister. It was only her turn when it was 9:30pm.

After the bath, she sat on the bed and dried her hair until 11pm.

As soon as she lay down, Gu Qing Zhou heard the sound of someone opening the door.

She lay dormant in the dark and tightened her back like a vigilant leopard.

“Hurry up.”

Gu Qing Zhou heard the voice of the third kid, Gu Wei.

The third and fourth kids were going to cut Gu Qing Zhou’s hair. 

“I don’t want to cut her hair, I want to cut her face. She has a face like a fairy, who knows who she’ll harm in the future!” The fourth kid said fiercely.

The third kid was also vaguely excited, “Will dad scold us?”

“Does dad love us, or love her?” The fourth kid retorted.

Of course he loved them.

The two little girls were actually more jealous of Gu Qing Zhou’s innocent and pure face.

Jealousy made them vicious.

Their voices were very soft, but Gu Qing Zhou heard them clearly. The corners of her lips moved slightly and she had a sarcastic smile.

Want to cut her face?

Then these two would have to train for another ten or eight years.

The scissors approached and when the cold iron was almost on Gu Qing Zhou’s cheek, Gu Qing Zhou sat up abruptly and grabbed the fourth kid’s hand holding the scissors.

Gu Qingzhou moved very fast. With a flick of her hand, she took the scissors from the fourth kid’s hand and plunged them into the third kid’s arm next to her.

“Ah!”

The third kid’s screams resounded throughout the house.

Everyone woke up from their sleep.
