"I'm afraid the second young lady of the Gu family has gone insane. We should send her back home as soon as possible so that Master Gu can find a doctor to treat her!"
As the wife of the Marquis of Fucheng finished speaking, Gu Miao's fate seemed to be determined.
The maid stuffed her mouth, firstly because she was afraid that she would commit suicide and it would be difficult to explain herself, and secondly because she was afraid that she would shout and disturb the nobleman.
Gu Miao was still struggling hard, but it was of no avail.
The maids dragged her out mercilessly.
When Bai Rongrong saw this scene, he felt a chill on his back. He wanted to speak several times, but swallowed his words in the end.
"Now that the jade pendant has been found, Miss Bai, please keep it safe in the future and don't let anything like what happened today happen again."
The wife of the Marquis of Fucheng stared at Bai Rongrong with eyes as sharp as knives.
He had seen through her little tricks a long time ago, but he didn't expose her in public because he remembered General Bai's hard work and great contributions and wanted to save face for the Bai family.
Bai Rongrong was stared at by that cold gaze, and felt as if his throat was being strangled by an invisible big hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.
She forced an ugly smile and thanked the wife of the Marquis of Fucheng.
"Thank you, Madam, for the reminder. Rongrong will definitely keep it in mind."
"Well, I hope Miss Bai can really listen to my words to heart!"
The wife of the Marquis of Fucheng spoke in a stern voice.
Seeing this, Bai Rongrong could no longer maintain the smile on his face. He clenched the jade pendant in his hand, said goodbye, and turned away.
"Alright, alright, it's just a farce. The party has to go on! Don't ruin everyone's good mood."
In the end, it was Madam Qi who stepped forward and eased the awkward atmosphere.
After everyone dispersed, the wife of the Marquis of Fucheng looked at Gu Qing, and her expression softened a lot.
"I'm so sorry for wronging you!"
After all, this kind of thing happened at her own table, and the wife of the Marquis of Fucheng felt really guilty.
Gu Qing didn't feel anything and still had a smiling face.
"Madam, what are you talking about? Today's incident is also because of me. Madam, don't blame me. Gu Qing is already very grateful in her heart."
She took the responsibility of the matter herself to save the face of the wife of the Marquis of Fucheng.
The wife of the Marquis of Fucheng felt that she was more sensible.
"What a good boy."
She casually pulled out a phoenix-tail hairpin from her bun and said, "I really liked the Buddhist beads you gave me last time. This hairpin is my dowry, and I'm giving it to you today. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to me with this. As long as it is something I can do, I will definitely not refuse."
"This...this is too expensive! I cannot accept it."
Gu Qing was surprised and happy, but did not take it.
Seeing her refuse, the wife of the Marquis of Fucheng frowned and pretended to be displeased.
"What's the big deal? Now that I've spoken, there's absolutely no reason for me to take it back!"
Seeing this, Gu Qing could only express his gratitude.
…
Chen Mansion.
Gu Qing returned to the house and sat down on the bed, too tired to move.
"Ma'am, you must be exhausted today!"
Cuiping brought a basin of water for washing feet and said with concern while massaging her legs.
Gu Qing nodded, a smile appearing in his tired eyes.
Although it was tiring, it was all worth it to be able to deal with Gu Miao.
"In the afternoon, Sister Qiu Rong wanted to see Madam again, but Madam hadn't returned yet, so I took the initiative and asked her to come back tomorrow morning."
Listening to Cuiping's report, Gu Qing nodded.
Qiu Rong should have learned almost as much as Li Ma, but I don’t know how the shop is decorated now and when it will open?
She took a deep breath and decided to go there and take a look in person tomorrow.
I have to say that Cuiping's massage skills are very good. My entire calf feels stretched and less sore.
"lady!"
Chen Zhizhou's voice came from the yard.
The next moment, the door was opened. He was wearing a crescent-white robe, which made him look more elegant and had the air of a gentleman.
But his every move is still so careless, which really destroys the beauty.
He seemed to be holding something in his hand, and as he got closer, the fragrance became more noticeable.
Gu Qing hadn't eaten enough at the Fucheng Marquis' Mansion, and now, tempted by the aroma, his stomach started to growl instantly.
Cuiping had already dried her feet by this time and tactfully left the room with the basin of water.
"What did you bring back?"
Gu Qing knelt on the bed, staring expectantly at the thing in his hand.
Looking at her wet puppy-like eyes, Chen Zhizhou's eyes flashed, and he raised the thing in his hand as if presenting a treasure.
"On the way back, I passed by Yuehuazhai and brought you a roast chicken."
Hearing the word "roast chicken", Gu Qing's eyes began to light up. He got out of bed without a care in the world and ran to the table holding his shoes and waited.
It looked just like a hungry wolf cub!
Chen Zhizhou was amused by her appearance and pulled away the oil paper to reveal the greasy bright yellow roast chicken.
The aroma filled his nose, and Gu Qing was so greedy that he started drooling.
“Eat quickly!”
Chen Zhizhou first pulled out a chicken leg and handed it to her. Seeing that she was eating with satisfaction, he couldn't help but smile dotingly.
"I heard that someone deliberately made things difficult for you today?"
It would have been fine if Chen Zhizhou didn't say anything, but once he brought it up, Gu Qing didn't even eat the chicken leg.
She swallowed the last bite of meat, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Chen Zhizhou as if she was interrogating a criminal.
He just stared at me quietly, but didn't say a word.
"What are you...doing?"
Chen Zhizhou felt his back tingling from being stared at by her, and his face was frowned in confusion.
I don’t think I have offended her?
Looking at his innocent face, Gu Qing snorted coldly, thinking of Bai Rongrong's provocative words today, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Chen Zhizhou is a big liar!
What she is the only one in my heart? It's all a lie.
It seems like you are pretending!
She still stared at him angrily, and said sarcastically, "Someone is indeed deliberately making things difficult for me. I'm afraid it's someone's sweetheart!"
"Um?"
The tone sounded sour, as if it was directed at me.
Chen Zhizhou was confused and had no idea what was going on.
I swear to God, I have been very self-disciplined ever since I married her. Not to mention going to brothels, even when I occasionally pass by them, I deliberately take a detour.
"Hmph, I trusted you so much, and you even said I was the only one in your heart. Then why did someone tell me today that you and her were in love and that you took great care of her..."
Whenever Gu Qing thought of that scene, his heart felt sour and swollen, and he felt crazy and uncomfortable.
"What on earth are you talking about?"
The more Chen Zhizhou listened, the more confused he became. Looking at Gu Qing, who looked like a little fox whose tail had been stepped on, he found her cute and funny. He reached out and was about to hug her in his arms.
However, Gu Qing simply grabbed his hand and bit his tiger's mouth hard.
Feeling the pain, Chen Zhizhou groaned and forced himself to hold it back.
I don’t know how long it took, until Gu Qing felt his cheeks were stiff, and then he let go with a puff of anger.
