The excitement at Chen's house spread throughout the capital in no time.
Many people lamented the stubbornness of the wife of the third young master of the Chen family, who actually made the people around the fifth prince apologize to her in front of the people.
For a time, rumors about Gu Qing became more and more rampant.
Even the officials who were originally hostile to Chen Zhizhou became wary, as they did not expect that Chen Zhizhou would marry such a powerful woman.
And the other side.
Pei'er, who had returned to the Gu family's house to report the news under the pretext of shopping, was about to leave the Gu family when he saw a servant with a pointed chin and monkey face suddenly running in and whispering a few words to Liu.
The next second, Liu's face suddenly darkened.
She sent the man out and called Pei'er, "Wait."
Pei'er turned around, bowed respectfully, and waited for instructions.
Although she had already known that Liu would not let her go so easily, a hint of displeasure still flashed in her eyes.
If Liu hadn't used her as leverage to threaten her, how could she have taken so many wrong steps and gone against the young lady?
"Aunt, do you have any other instructions?"
Liu twisted her waist and walked towards her. Her tender hand, soaked in the juice of red roses, slowly lifted her chin. Her eyes were filled with scrutiny and probing as she asked, "It was really bustling at the entrance of the Chen Mansion just now. Is Gu Qing really still on the Gu family's side?"
She had previously risked her life to save Chen Zhizhou in Huaishui City.
Now she is even publicly giving face to the Fifth Prince's people for the Chen family. Those who don't know her would think she is the daughter of the Chen family.
"Reply... Auntie, Gu Qing told me that she always thinks about the Gu family."
Pei'er pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood what the servant and Liu had said. She immediately said cautiously, "Auntie, as long as Xu is still in the Gu family, Gu Qing won't be able to cause any trouble."
Hearing this, Liu withdrew her hand and snorted coldly, "You are right. As long as that idiot Xu is still in the Gu family, Gu Qing will never have a good life in the Chen family."
The corners of her mouth suddenly curled up into a smile: "I don't think she would dare to do anything reckless."
Pei'er was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Liu's eyes suddenly caught sight of her slightly bulging pouch.
She suddenly reached into Pei'er's chest and pulled out a heavy purse. Her eyes suddenly became sinister as she asked, "Did Gu Qing give this to you?"
"Yes... yes." Pei'er lowered her head, feeling anxious and nervous, fearing that Liu would take her money away.
I haven't been with my wife on duty for a while, and my salary has been reduced by 50%. Add to that what I had before and what was deducted, and life is really tight.
Her eyes followed the purse in Liu's hand, and she looked at it eagerly, saying cautiously, "Madam... this is my... silver."
"your?"
Liu snorted coldly, suddenly grabbed Pei'er by the collar, dragged her forward, and looked her over. "Since you said so many good things about Gu Qing today, isn't it because Gu Qing gave you money?"
Thinking about the fact that every time she plotted against Gu Qing during this period of time had failed, she became more and more suspicious that this damn girl Pei'er had betrayed her.
"Auntie! I guarantee this with my life! I absolutely will not betray you! I heard these words from her personally. Besides, she is seriously injured and cannot leave the courtyard. She can't threaten you now!"
Pei'er panicked.
First, he was worried that the money would fall into Liu's hands, and second, he was afraid that Liu would become suspicious of him. He was afraid that his life would be at stake today.
Liu stared at the panic in her eyes, suddenly loosened her hand, and pointed at Pei'er's head: "You little bitch, remember this, if you dare to betray me, you'll lose your parents' lives!"
Pei'er burst into tears. Thinking of her miserable parents, she felt even more resentful towards Liu.
She knelt on the ground, crawled to Liu's front and cried, "Auntie! Pei'er swears! Pei'er really did not betray you!"
"Gu Qing is seriously injured now. This is your best chance. For example... for example, Jiao Lan! Didn't you always want to attack her from there? Now that she is tied to other things, she will definitely let down her guard!"
Pei'er thought quickly and gave Liu an idea.
Liu put the purse into her pocket without leaving a trace, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "That's right."
Thinking of this, her face turned cold again and she said, "Okay, go back and keep a close eye on Gu Qing."
Pei'er watched the silver and money fall into Liu's hands, feeling heartbroken and unwilling.
But her fate was not in her control and she could do nothing about it.
Pei'er slowly got up from the ground, wiped away her tears, and bowed, saying, "Yes, Auntie."
Liu stared at her leaving back, glared at her, and then sent someone to call Gu Miao over.
......
Pei'er was very depressed when she left Gu's house. When she thought about the money she had just earned was gone, she felt depressed.
When he arrived at the door of Chen's house, he remembered that he had not bought the things for the mansion yet, so he immediately turned back to the street.
At the same time, he happened to meet Cuiping who was buying snacks for Gu Qing.
The two collided head-on.
Pei'er was already in a bad mood, and seeing Cuiping made her even angrier: "What did you do! How dare you bump into me? I haven't even settled the score with you this morning!"
Cuiping was carrying the freshly baked Furong milk pastry from Furong Tower. She was afraid that it would no longer be crispy or hot by the time she got home, so she didn't bother to take care of Cuiping and just ran into the house.
Pei'er's emotions gradually collapsed as the Gu family was threatened and the Chen family was ignored.
She clenched her palms tightly and gritted her teeth, "You damn Cuiping, I'll make you pay sooner or later! When I return to my wife, I'll get rid of you first!"
At the same time, Cuiping was in a daze all the way back to the yard.
She seemed to have just seen a wound on Pei'er's neck? It looked like it was caused by strangulation.
