"You, follow me!"
When Aunt Liu saw Pei'er coming out of the house, she immediately rushed out from the darkness with a gloomy voice.
Pei'er couldn't help but shudder when he heard this.
She swallowed nervously, and was terrified when she saw Aunt Liu's angry face.
But since Aunt Liu had spoken, she didn't dare to disobey and could only follow timidly.
Just after leaving the yard, Aunt Liu waved her hand and slapped Pei'er in the face. Pei'er's eyes went black and he stood there in a daze.
"You lowly little whore, what are you up to? How dare you harm my Miao'er!"
Aunt Liu glared at her fiercely, as if she had already determined that Pei'er had betrayed them.
If not, why would Gu Qing keep making things difficult for them, mother and daughter!
Thinking of Gu Miao's disfigured face, her eyes seemed to be filled with rage, and she wished she could tear Pei'er to pieces on the spot.
Pei'er felt nervous at her sudden attack and quickly knelt on the ground, explaining anxiously.
"Auntie, it's unfair!"
"Even if you gave me a hundred guts, how could I dare to harm the Second Young Lady!"
She kowtowed desperately, and soon a big bump appeared on her forehead, but she didn't dare to stop.
"Auntie, I am loyal to you and would never dare to betray you. Please understand!"
Aunt Liu looked at her coldly, and felt a lot more relieved.
Judging from Pei'er's reaction, it really didn't seem like she had betrayed them, but...
She frowned subconsciously, her voice still cold.
"If it wasn't you, then why did my Miao'er's face become like that? If it wasn't you who betrayed me, then it must be you who was exposed, which gave Gu Qing the opportunity to take advantage of it."
Aunt Liu's eyes became fierce, and a murderous look appeared on her face.
"If that's the case, then you deserve to die!"
Pei'er was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, "No, I won't."
She seemed to have thought of something, as if she had grabbed the last straw of life. She rolled and crawled towards Aunt Liu, grabbing the corner of her clothes with all her hands.
"Auntie, no, the eldest lady has always trusted me the most. A few days ago, when she heard that I was sick, she took extra care of me and repeatedly told me to rest well. There is absolutely no way I would be exposed."
"Besides, the eldest lady is now married into the Chen family. It will definitely not be an easy task for you to place someone else there."
"Give me one more chance, I promise, I swear, this will never happen again!"
After saying that, she kowtowed desperately as if she had gone crazy.
She knew in her heart that Aunt Liu and Gu Miao, mother and daughter, seemed weak and fragile, like delicate flowers, but in fact they were beautiful on the outside but vicious on the inside. Anyone who offended them would never have a good ending.
Aunt Liu looked at her kowtowing hard with disdain in her eyes, but after thinking carefully, she felt that what she said made sense.
I have thought about placing more people around Gu Qing in the past two days, but unfortunately that little bitch is too vigilant and I can't find a suitable opportunity.
Even if he was placed in the Chen family, he would only be assigned to do the most basic tasks and would not be able to find out anything.
It seems that we should keep her.
Aunt Liu withdrew her gaze and fiddled with her newly made nail polish while saying quietly, "I'll forgive you this time, but you have to remember that some things don't have to be yours. If you dare to make a mistake again, you'll risk your head and the lives of your entire family."
Faced with her threat, Pei'er lowered her head, hiding the hatred and dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"Yes, thank you for your tolerance, Auntie."
Aunt Liu raised her hand nonchalantly, motioning her to stand up, and her words became much softer.
Pei'er knew in her heart that this was her usual method, giving a slap in the face and then giving a sweet date. However, although she saw through it, she did not dare to show any sign of dissatisfaction and could only listen quietly.
"You've been at the Chen family for quite some time now. Have you made any progress on the things the master asked you to do?"
Aunt Liu narrowed her eyes, like a poisonous snake ready to strike.
As long as the Chen family's handle is caught, no matter whether it is Chen Zhizhou or Gu Qing, they will all be in trouble, and may even lose their heads!
She felt happy when she thought about Gu Qing, the daughter of a noble family, becoming a prisoner.
Staring at her eager eyes, Pei'er shook his head reluctantly.
"The Chen family is like a stone in a toilet. Their mouths are stinky and stubborn. I've tried my best to get them to talk, but still nothing!"
She now doubted whether the Chen family was really so clean that nothing could be dug out.
But how is it possible?
Not only her, but Aunt Liu also looked unconvinced.
How could anyone in this world be clean? Even if there really is someone, they would have no power, no influence, and no ability. People like the Chen family who hold official positions would not be like that.
Aunt Liu sneered.
If there isn't any, it means you haven't dug deep enough!
She poked Pei'er's head in frustration and lectured him, "You brainless idiot! I really don't know what I'm sending you to do!"
"No matter how stubborn the Chen family is, there's always something fishy going on. If you insist on hanging yourself on one tree, why not ask more people? If the servants who are valued by the Master and Madam Chen can't get the answer, then how can the people who clean and tend to the household at the bottom of the household not be able to pry it out?"
Any old person who has lived in the mansion for many years can always hear one or two secrets.
"At worst, if the first wife of the Chen family doesn't have it, then the second and third wives of the Chen family don't have it either?"
She had inquired around and found out that the people from the other two branches of the Chen family were no match for the first branch, especially the third master of the Chen family, who was a complete dandy and had a very bad reputation.
Pei'er had an expression of having learned a lesson.
Aunt Liu taught her a lot of skills before telling her to go back with a sinister smile.
At this time in the study.
The father and daughter of the Gu family each had their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke first.
Gu Qing walked around leisurely and lazily, and finally stopped in front of a rosewood shelf, playing with some small gadgets made from Ru kiln.
As soon as she entered the room, she knew in her heart that she was called here this time because Aunt Liu must have whispered something in her ear.
The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and Father Gu finally couldn't help but cleared his throat.
"Qing'er! I've really wronged you these days. Seeing you've lost a lot of weight, I'm really heartbroken."
He did not get straight to the point, but tried to use these words to build a closer relationship between father and daughter.
Gu Qing sneered in his heart. His black-hearted father was really interesting. He lied with his eyes open without blushing or breathing heavily.
During this period, I lived comfortably in the Chen family. I didn't have to worry about the trivialities and intrigues at home. Everything was taken care of by my mother-in-law. Even if I wanted to open a shop, I didn't have to worry about it at all. Everything was taken care of by Chen Zhizhou.
She slept well, ate well, and gained a lot of weight.
But he insisted on saying that he had lost weight, which only shows that he didn't care about himself at all and never paid attention to himself, so he said such ridiculous things.
Gu Qing didn't expose him, but continued to talk along with him.
"Thank you for your concern, father. Qing'er doesn't feel any hardship at all to be able to help you."
