Chapter 16

Ye Bojian's heart choked, and he quickly explained: "Madam, you misunderstood. Yao'er was because she didn't obey the discipline. She is the daughter of the Marquis's mansion and represents the face of the Marquis's mansion. I hope she can do her best."

After Ye Bojian finished speaking, Gu Rong threw the teacup in his hand at him, hitting him directly on the forehead. The hot water in the teacup was all over his face, and he screamed.

"Ah!"

He was almost scalded and jumped up. Because of the injury on his buttocks, he gasped in pain when he jumped up.

He immediately lay back down.

Just a pair of eyes looked at Gu Rong with anger.

"Madam, you are crazy!"

Gu Rong stood up and looked at him coldly.

"It's obviously you, Lord Hou, who are crazy. Yao'er is virtuous and good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a model of a lady from a noble family in the imperial city. Why does she need to be in a quiet place under the supervision of a group of unpresentable nuns? Lord Hou, you talk too much about principles. Do you think I'm a fool?"

Ye Bojian's anger was extinguished in an instant. He felt

a little guilty.

Some things can only be said. If you really want to talk about it, it's really unacceptable.

"Madam, I didn't expect that group of nuns would go so far. This is my negligence. If Madam is angry about this, it is indeed my fault."

Gu Rong looked at him coldly.

"Of course it's the Marquis' fault, so the Marquis didn't deserve the beating."

Ye Bojian: ...

"Madam, we are talking about the housekeeper now. Since you have already let out your anger, let the housekeeper go."

"Madam!"

Jinxiu hurried in and bowed to Gu Rong.

"The housekeeper didn't survive the interrogation and has already died."

Ye Bojian lay on the bed and felt his eyes go black.

The housekeeper is dead.

With the importance that the Madam paid to the housekeeper... Ye Bojian knew that this matter was not over!

If it was before, the Madam might have troubled Gu Rong, and he would just be her hands-off manager.

But now Gu Rong is obviously different. She dared to smash the teacup on his face. Gu Rong would definitely not be obedient to the Madam.

Then the Madam will not be able to find trouble with Gu Rong, and will only come to him to cry.

Trouble!

Gu Rong said to Ye Bojian indifferently: "Marquis, it seems useless to release him now."

Ye Bojian looked at Gu Rong's cold eyebrows, as if he knew her for the first time.

"Madam, you did it on purpose, right?"

"Not really." Gu Rong smiled, "Do you know who took the housekeeper away? It was Lord Wei Xun, he has been transferred back from the border."

Ye Bojian felt that his eyes went dark again.

What separated them from the Wei family was not just a blood feud!

Wei Xun came back, did that person also come back?

No!

Impossible!

If that person came back, it is impossible that there would be no movement at all.

Ye Bojian calmed down. Even if that person came back, what would

happen? It had been so many years, and he had agreed to leave.

Ye Bojian felt that he had been unlucky, and troubles came one after another.

Ye Bojian said helplessly, "Let the housekeeper die. But if mother gets angry later, you should be more tolerant and patient."

The death of a housekeeper actually had no effect.

It didn't matter if the lady made a fuss.

Let Gu Rong solve it.

Gu Rong had always been generous and decent, and he knew the lady's preferences. When the time came, he just had to cater to her.

Gu Rong smiled.

The so-called cater to her preferences meant that he had to endure the lady's unreasonable insults and scolding, and constantly give her good things to calm her down.

Over the years, the Madam had been trying to get good things from her.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will satisfy the Madam."

Ye Bojian finally showed a relieved expression after hearing this.

Gu Rong stood up calmly.

"Lord Hou, I will go to the Madam first to 'comfort' her."

Ye Bojian nodded immediately.

"Go ahead, and make sure to comfort your mother."

It means to give the Madam more good things.

Gu Rong turned around and left without saying anything.

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Of course, she would not give the Madam good things. Not only would she not give them, but she would also take back everything that the Madam had taken from her over the years, one by one!

She could not forgive someone who had taken so many benefits from her and plotted against her and her daughter.

After walking out of the yard, Gu Rong said to Jinxiu, "Go, find a few people to bring back the butler's body and send it to the lady's yard. In addition, the blood swallows in the lady's yard don't need to be sent in the future."

Jinxiu's face lit up.

"Yes, ma'am."

Not long after, the butler's body was carried back by the servants in the mansion.

It was carried directly to the lady's yard.

"Ah--"

The lady screamed in fear when she saw the butler's body.

She was shaking all over.

On the one hand, she couldn't accept the butler's death.

On the other hand, she was scared when she saw the butler's body.

The butler's body was horrible.

There were whip marks on his face and body, his clothes were torn, and there were burn marks on his exposed shoulders. It was obvious that he had suffered inhuman torture before his death.

And the burns on the housekeeper's body also reminded her of what happened in the past...

Wei Xun must have known something!

He warned her through the housekeeper's corpse!

She was so scared that she trembled and couldn't bear it. She rolled her eyes and passed out.

Ye Jingyue learned about the housekeeper's death the next day.

After all, she was pestered by Ye Yunyao last night. A beautiful, gentle and delicate little sister was pestering her, and she was shouting about being scared. What could she do

? Of course, she hugged her, clung to her, protected her, and comforted her.

The housekeeper was not in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper died like this.

Ye Jingyue quickly pulled Ye Yunyao's hand: "Sister, let's go and comfort mother!"

[That housekeeper was the lady's lover. If he died, the lady would not let mother go. We must go and protect mother!]

Ye Yunyao was also worried about Gu Rong.

With the lady's stubborn character, she would definitely not let it go if her lover, the housekeeper, died like this.

The two hurried to Gu Rong's yard. They didn't see the lady, but saw another person.

Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing was wearing a lake blue dress, which made her pretty face look adorable.

She held a bowl of soup in her hand, and her tender little hand brought it to Gu Rong with a pitiful expression.

"Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that on the day my sister came back. I was too worried, too scared. I'm not your daughter, and I'm afraid your biological daughter won't love me when she comes back..."

"This is the soup I stewed for two hours as an apology for you. I hope you won't be angry with me after drinking it."
