When Gu Qing saw Chen Zhizhou smiling, he knew he was doing it on purpose. He immediately felt mixed emotions, but he did not show it.
Ming'er was escorted by the servants and begged for mercy desperately. The scene of Cuiping and Pei'er being punished a few days ago was still vivid in his mind.
Everyone in the mansion knew that although the Third Young Master's wife looked gentle and kind on weekdays, when she was really angry, she was an extremely strict person, just like the Third Young Master.
She regretted for a moment that she had listened to the Second Madam's words today. If she had known earlier, she should not have come to the study to seduce the young master.
"You are so brave." Gu Qing ignored Chen Zhizhou who was watching the show on the side. He first dealt with the shameless maid and caught the person who gave her the idea behind the scenes.
"Young Madam, please spare me! I really only came here to bring food to the young master. I didn't do anything else, and I dared not have any intention of overstepping the bounds of propriety towards him.
Gu Qing sat beside Chen Zhizhou and glanced at him sideways: "How can I believe your words?"
"Husband, what do you say?" Gu Qing had a smile on her face, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
The maids and servants could all see that the young lady was interrogating the young master.
I thought that based on the young master's personality, how could he be a henpecked husband, with the young mistress dominating him?
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Chen Zhizhou sighed and said helplessly: "Fortunately, my wife is here, otherwise I really don't know how to explain it."
"You and I are of one mind, this maid is so bold, and needs to be disciplined by Madam."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around lowered their heads and admired the young lady even more. Even the young master had spoken, and everyone had to know who would be the boss of this courtyard in the future.
Gu Qing's smile deepened. She had never expected Chen Zhizhou to say this. Her mood also improved a lot. She turned her head and lowered her head to look at the maid kneeling on the ground: "What's your name? I have never seen you before."
Ming'er kowtowed repeatedly: "Replying to the young lady, my name is Ming'er, and I serve the old lady."
"Madam?" Gu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.
This maidservant wanted to use her mother to suppress herself. The person who liked to use this method the most in this mansion was none other than the second wife, Mrs. Lu.
"Oh? Really?" Gu Qing coldly shouted, "Go and invite Cuihong, the maidservant who serves the old lady, over here, and also invite a doctor."
After these words were spoken, Ming'er's eyes were filled with unconcealable fear.
She wanted to rush forward, but Feng held her shoulder blades, so she couldn't move. She could only scream miserably, "Young Madam, spare me!"
"If you want me to forgive you, you also need to let me verify whether you can be forgiven." Gu Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, and always remained calm and composed, but the more she was like this, the more afraid Ming'er would be.
A gentle knife is deadly, and a smiling tiger is the most frightening.
At the same time, Chen Zhizhou echoed Gu Qing: "We should ask a doctor to come. I just drank this tea and I feel dizzy."
"Madam, please find a doctor to see me." As he spoke, Chen Zhizhou leaned his head gently on Gu Qing's shoulder. The person next to him did not move away, so he continued to put his arm around Gu Qing's waist without hesitation: "I am in great pain right now."
Gu Qing: “…”
What was this guy pretending to be? Even he could smell the strange smell in the room, how could he not know?
He was deliberately playing with himself here again.
The smile on Gu Qing's lips froze, and she said with some helplessness, "Husband, please wait a little longer. The doctor will be here soon."
The husband and wife followed the husband's lead, and Ming'er's initial fear and panic turned into despair.
There was indeed something in the tea.
The room was dead silent. Ming'er's eyes were red and his face was as pale as a dead person.
It seems that this maid knows that she is doomed, but this matter is not that simple.
The incident in the study alarmed Chen's parents, who were already staying in the room. They hurried in wrapped in cloaks and first comforted Gu Qing: "Qing'er, don't be angry. Mother will seek justice for you."
"Shameless thing!" Chen's father pointed at Ming'er and cursed.
Mother Chen was even more displeased and angrily said, "You little girl, how long have you been in my courtyard, and you actually have such evil thoughts!"
"I was blind at first!"
Being accused by everyone, Ming'er was unable to utter a word of explanation. Not long after, Mr. Huang also rushed over and found out that there was indeed a drug in the tea that could make people unconscious.
"This tea is nothing serious, but..." Old Huang stared at Ming'er, stepped forward to examine her carefully, then suddenly stepped back and covered his mouth and nose: "This maid has been smeared with aphrodisiac perfume!"
Hearing this, Father Chen slammed the table and stood up: "Come here! Beat this beast to death!"
Such a joke actually happened in such a big yard.
Chen's father was already furious, but Gu Qing said slowly, "Dad, don't worry. Fortunately, nothing serious has happened yet."
Hearing this, Ming'er's eyes brightened with hope: "Yes, Madam, it was this servant who was bewitched. I will never dare to do this again in the future!"
"Please, Madam, leave me a way out!"
Gu Qing sneered: "If you want me to leave you a way out, it's not impossible."
Chen's father and mother didn't understand what Gu Qing meant.
Now that the evidence is in hand, no matter how much this maid begs for mercy, she will only die! The Chen family will never tolerate such a treacherous person in the house!
Chen Zhizhou, who was standing aside, looked at Gu Qing with a smile on his face. He was the only one who understood what Gu Qing meant, and that was why he had deliberately set up this situation today.
"As long as Madam spares my life, I will be willing to work like a slave for you in the future!" Ming'er kowtowed continuously, with blood flowing from his forehead. The scene was horrific.
Gu Qing's tone suddenly turned cold: "How can you be so bold as a mere maid?"
"Who ordered you to do this?!"
Ming'er was shocked and her pupils contracted violently. She never thought that the young lady was so smart!
If she betrayed the Second Madam, her parents and family would probably be in danger of being killed.
But if you don't confess... you will be the one to die.
Ming'er collapsed to the ground, his hands clenched tightly. The blood from his forehead flowed all over his face, which looked quite scary in the night.
When Gu Qing saw her expression, he knew that his guess was correct, and there was someone behind Ming'er.
"If you tell it out, there is still a chance of survival." Gu Qing softened his tone a little and his expression became a little softer.
Ming'er was in tears, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves, and he didn't even dare to look up at his wife.
In fact, she had always known that the young master would not like her, let alone a lowly maid. But if Lu had not threatened her parents and family, she would not have...
"What's going on? Why is it so lively?" Mrs. Lu came uninvited and broke the awkwardness of the situation.
Ming'er looked back, shocked and frightened, but there was also a hint of relief in his eyes.
Gu Qingze's eyes darkened: "Second Aunt."
Chen's father and mother also looked unhappy. It was already dark at night, why was the second branch still running to other courtyards?
Especially Chen's mother, she knew that Ming'er was given to her by Lu.
