Chapter 1255 Locked in the prison
Yu Dong then turned to look at Zi Zan before saying, "I wanted to ask you to join work as soon as possible but I don't think that you will be able to stay close to fire for the time being."
"I am sorry for the trouble," Zi Zan felt a bit guilty as she was aware of the fact that her parents had burned their fruit farm and they could not sell fruits to Yu Dong. She was supposed to start working as well but she ended up getting burned because of this Yu Dong's plans had come to a halt.
Though it did not seem like a major thing, Zi Zan had worked in the restaurant for a long time and knew how a small thing could lead to big troubles and losses.
"There is no need for you to say sorry, we can still discuss the contract and you can tell me if there is anything that needs to be changed," Yu Dong said to Zi Zan who waved her hand and then nonchalantly said to Yu Dong, "There is no need for this aunt, I know that you will never do anything to cheat me like my former boss.
I am sure that you have already discussed the finer points with my parents."
Yu Dong and the rest of the Yu family: "…." She is still this naive?
Though Yu Dong was quite touched by the trust that Zi Zan had shown to her, she still insisted, "You should still take a look at it. Your parents agreeing with the contract is one thing but you should also take a look, after all the one who will be working with me will be you and not your parents."
Zi Zan still wanted to say something but she was stopped by Zi Mu who smacked her on the back of her head causing her to turn around and glare at her father.
"Ouch father, what is the meaning of this? Why did you hit me on the back of the head?" Zi Zan questioned as she looked at her father while hugging her head. Her face was contorted in pain as breathed heavily.
Zi Mu rolled his eyes and then said to Zi Zan, "It is true that your aunt will not treat you badly but we still need to sign the contract. What if you become like that lady surname Gu? She was backed by her family and sister-in-law, look where it brought her. You need to work hard and repay the kindness that your aunt has shown to you."
"Father, how can you think of your daughter like this? Do you think that I will harm my aunt like this?" Zi Zan complained with a pout. She couldn't believe that her father was actually comparing her to Gu Mu!
This was the biggest humiliation for Zi Zan!
" I am speaking the truth! Overdoting is also troublesome!" After speaking he turned to look at Yu Dong and then said to her, "You do not need to be polite with her. If she makes a mistake just hit her. You are free to do it! You are like an elder to her, if she gets hit by you then it's her fortune."
Yu Dong: "…" Do I look like a pervert who likes to hit others?
Zi Zan: "…" I was adopted wasn't I? Why was he encouraging Yu Dong to hit her?
Though Zi Zan wanted to complain, she could only shut up and listen to Yu Dong as she discussed the contract with her.

On the other side, Gu Mu was slamming her hands on the bars of the prison as she continued to shout, "You cannot lock me up in this cell, my grandmother is the retired tutor of the grand marquis! How could you lock me up here? Bring me out! I demand you to get me out of here."
The guards patrolling the dungeons felt that she was too noisy. She took out the baton and then banged it on the bars of the prison. The guard who hit the bars with her baton glared at Gu Mu and said, "Who are you shouting for huh? Do you think that you are not in enough trouble if that is the case then you can continue screaming."
Gu Mu never thought that there would be one day where she would be treated like this, she glared back at the woman and said, "My grandmother is the grand tutor! She once taught the previous Empress, how dare you treat me like this!"
The guard however was not scared. She curled her lips and sneered coldly, "Your grandmother is having a hard time saving your skin. If I were you I would be really careful. You are wasting the life-saving efforts of your grandmother."
Old Madam Gu really didn't want to see Gu Mu and was greatly disappointed in her. However Gu Mu was her bloodline and she couldn't watch her granddaughter die, thus she had exhausted all the favours that she owned by calling her connections one by one to keep Gu Mu's puny life.
However, Gu Mu only knew one thing she was still locked up in the prison and her grandmother hadn't done anything to get her out of this place.
As for what her grandmother was doing outside, Gu Mu had no idea about it nor did she care. She only cared about one thing and that was unless she was out of prison everything that her grandmother did was useless.
"You…"Gu Mu was really angry but the guard didn't care about her. Even if Gu Mu was angry, what could she do? It wasn't as if she could come out and hit her. Haha. That would be laughable.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Gu Mu clenched her fingers on the bars of the cells with a frantic look in her eyes. She was not going to let this slide! Once she was out of this place she would make both Gu Ke Jin and Yu Dong suffer!
