"Bang!" Gu Qing closed the door. Chen Zhizhou stood outside the door and wanted to say something to persuade him to stay, but before he could open his mouth, the lights in the room went out.
Liao Feng stood behind his master and shook his head helplessly, "Master, how about... going to the study?"
"It seems that Madam has made up her mind."
Chen Zhizhou turned around and looked at him, saying in a deep voice, "Stop talking too much nonsense. How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
In the study, Liao Feng reported Pei Shaoheng's current situation to Chen Zhizhou one by one.
"I have already checked. Pei Shaoheng didn't kill him. Xu Peng already had a heart disease. Perhaps it was because he drank too much that the disease suddenly flared up and he died."
Chen Zhizhou looked indifferent and was not interested in Xu Peng's death.
"Even though Pei Shaoheng is innocent, I'm afraid the Xu family won't let him go."
It was because of him that Xu Peng had his arm broken by Chen Zhizhou. The Xu family didn't dare to cause trouble for the Chen family, but could they not punish him?
"Should you tell Madam about this?" Le Feng said a little more, then lowered his head the next moment, "I'm being nosy."
"Since you know this, get out of here, young master."
"Yes." Le Feng left the study and stood guard at the door. The lights in the house were still on in the middle of the night.
At midnight, there was a noise outside the courtyard. A maid carrying food entered the courtyard but was stopped by him. "The study is a restricted area! No trespassing! Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy!"
The maid lowered her head, but her hair was carefully combed, and there was a faint fragrance when she walked. Liao Feng frowned subconsciously, "Leave."
"Replying to Guard Feng, my name is Ming'er, and I'm the old lady's maid. The young master didn't eat much for dinner today, so I'm here on the old lady's orders to bring him some snacks." Ming'er was frightened by Feng, and her hands holding the food box kept shaking.
Upon hearing this, Le Feng was silent for a moment and told his men to stay where they were and not move. Then he turned around and went into the house to report the matter.
Not long after, Liao Feng pushed the door open and came out: "Go in."
"Yes." A hint of joy flashed in Ming'er's eyes.
I actually entered the young master's study!
Except for my wife, no other woman has ever entered the study!
She even began to feel happy, thinking that the young master might like her. Among all the maids, her appearance was superior.
If her family had not fallen into poverty, she would probably be a young lady in some mansion. How could she be sold to the Chen family's mansion as a maid?
Thinking of this, Ming'er's heart tightened, and he must seize this opportunity!
At the same time, Liao Feng suddenly went out and turned into the main house yard.
Cui Ru heard the noise and immediately got up from the recliner, stopping the person and saying, "What are you doing? This is the Madam's room, you are not allowed to enter without permission!"
Looking at the maid who was making so much noise but didn't dare to wake up the lady, Le Feng suddenly found her rather cute. He crossed his arms and looked at her, "Girl, why are you so stupid?"
"What did you say?!" Cuiru suppressed her tone, extremely angry!
Apart from Sister Cuiping, no one has ever said that he is stupid. Even his wife praises him for being smart!
"You're such a silly girl indeed." Le Feng teased unconsciously. Cui Ping's cheeks puffed up with anger. "If you don't explain your purpose, I'll kick you out!"
Seeing this, Le Feng put away his playful heart and said seriously: "The young master has encountered difficulties in the study. There is a woman entangled with him. Please go and help, Madam."
Cuiru was so frightened when she heard this that she quickly turned around and went back into the house. It was too dark at night and she was too nervous that she almost tripped over the threshold.
At the critical moment, Liao Feng grabbed her legs from behind and pulled her back: "Why are you so stupid!"
"Go and report it quickly."
Cui Ru was angry and anxious, and had no time to argue with him. She tidied her clothes and ran inside, carefully approaching the bedside: "Madam?"
Gu Qing had already fallen asleep, but she had become accustomed to Chen Zhizhou being by her side these days, and tonight she couldn't help tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
As soon as Cuiru came in, she noticed the movement.
"What's the matter?" Gu Qingmian asked in a low voice and slowly opened her eyes. The bright moonlight sprinkled into the room, illuminating a small corner, just enough for her to see Cuiru's anxious expression.
She suddenly regained consciousness and asked seriously, "But what big thing happened in the mansion?"
Cui Ru shook her head and whispered Feng's words to her wife: "Madam, please go and take a look."
Hearing this, Gu Qing lay back down and waved his hands, saying, "Could it be that he can't handle a woman?"
"It is said that the maid was sent by the old lady, and the young master can't say anything. Madam, do you really want the young master to take a concubine?" Cui Ru could see that the old lady liked the young master. No woman in the world would be willing to share her beloved with other women.
Gu Qing snorted coldly: "If he doesn't want to, can that woman force him?"
"No." Gu Qing suppressed the irritation in her heart, but as soon as she said this, she felt a little regretful.
Cuiru sighed, stood up and said helplessly: "Cuiru will go and inform Feng and ask him to go back.
"Wait." Gu Qing turned around, "Did Le Feng come here in person?"
"yes."
Gu Qing frowned subconsciously. Le Feng is here. Is she really a difficult woman?
How could mother let such a person serve Chen Zhizhou?
Thinking of this, Gu Qing realized that something was wrong. She was afraid that the people in the second house had already known about her discord with Chen Zhizhou today, and deliberately sent people to take advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble.
"Cui Ru, change your clothes." Gu Qing lifted the quilt and stood up. He simply changed his clothes and went to the study with Feng.
"Madam, you have to take care of this matter. Our young master is in a real dilemma. He would rather die than sleep with another woman."
Gu Qing raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did Chen Zhizhou tell you this?"
Le Feng nodded immediately: "Of course, Madam, please go quickly."
Hearing this, Gu Qing's heart softened, and his resentment towards Chen Zhizhou gradually disappeared.
In the huge Chen family mansion, people from the second branch saw a little crack and came to sow discord. Chen Zhizhou's life was already extremely difficult. I should have made things clear with him earlier.
study.
From inside the room came the woman's coquettish voice and Chen Zhizhou's anger: "Get out."
"Young Master, please let Ming'er serve you." The woman's voice was flattering, and it sounded extremely harsh to Gu Qing's ears.
Gu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression immediately turned cold. She pushed the door open and walked in, smiling and saying, "Husband, why don't you go back to bed so late?"
As she spoke, she looked at the maidservant, who was dressed in brothel clothes, and immediately said in a stern voice: "How dare you! What are you doing! How dare you come in and out of the young master's study at will!"
Ming'er never expected that Gu Qing would appear here.
Didn't the Second Madam say that the Third Young Master and his wife had a rift and wouldn't be together tonight?!
"I... Third Young Master's wife, this servant..."
Gu Qing shouted coldly, "Come here! Take this shameless slave girl down for me!"
"Madam, please spare me! Madam, please spare me!"
Chen Zhizhou sat at the table, looking at Gu Qing with a smile. When she turned around and met his eyes, he said helplessly, "Madam, you are finally here."
"You have kept me waiting for so long."
