Gu Qing coughed lightly, interrupting Mu Xin's words. Only then did she realize that she had said too much, so she turned away and simply didn't look at him.
Zhao Qi was extremely sad and could not accept the fact that Pei Shaoheng was dead.
Seeing Gu Qing again was filled with mixed emotions, but he understood that this matter had nothing to do with the Chen family, so he nodded slightly to Gu Qing: "Mrs. Chen."
"Master Zhao, I'm so sad. This fire came so suddenly, no one expected it..." Gu Qing didn't continue, but Zhao Qi's words left her speechless: "What Madam Chen said about Brother Pei's future as a rising star, is this true?"
Mu Xin couldn't bear to listen any longer: "What do you mean? Are you blaming Qing'er?"
"No." Zhao Qi also realized that his words were a little wrong and apologized to Gu Qing: "Mrs. Chen, please forgive me."
Gu Qing sighed in his heart, smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, I can understand Mr. Zhao's feelings."
At the same time, Pei Shaoheng's body was carried out, covered with a thick white cloth. Zhao Qi immediately stopped the coroner and asked, "How did Brother Pei die?"
The coroner said helplessly: "My lord, the body has been burnt to death. He must have died in the fire."
"No one can escape from such a big job."
Zhao Qi stumbled two steps, cautiously and fearfully taking two steps forward. He reached out to lift the white cloth, but the servant beside him hurriedly stopped him, "Sir, you can't do that."
"You are not in good health. The master said you can't look at these things."
Zhao Qi brushed him off: "Go away."
Mu Xin was about to speak, but Gu Qing shook his head: "Let him go, otherwise he won't give up."
Zhao Qi squatted down in front of him, and his slightly pale fingertips trembled as he lifted the white cloth. His burnt brown face was terrifying. The people watching the show around him turned their heads away, but only Zhao Qi couldn't help shaking.
After a long time, he finally stood up, staggered two steps, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Brother Pei, you go now!"
"In my next life, don't come back to this hell on earth." After saying that, a tear fell from the corner of Zhao Qi's eye.
Gu Qing was in a heavy mood. No matter in her past life or this life, she always felt that human feelings were indifferent.
But now seeing Zhao Qi so sad because of his love for Pei Shaoheng, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Even Mu Xin, who was standing by, frowned, as if he could sense Zhao Qi's sorrow. He said helplessly, "He's already gone. You should mourn for him. This was his fate."
Zhao Qi responded. Now that he saw Pei Shaoheng's body, no matter how sad he was, he could do nothing to save him.
The dead cannot be resurrected, I just hope that Brother Pei can have a smooth life in the next life.
Zhao Qi left the crowd, and Gu Qing was about to leave when she heard someone whispering to her.
Mu Xin also sensed something was amiss, but someone spoke bluntly: "Gu Qing actually came?"
"I heard that she and Chen Zhizhou haven't been getting along very well these days, all because of Pei Shaoheng."
"What a shameless woman! I also heard that in order to get in touch with Pei Shaoheng, she asked him to go to Jiaolan to meet her secretly."
Mu Xin was furious and pointed at the group of women around him who were talking nonsense: "What are you talking about!"
Gu Qing held her back, but he didn't care about these words. She usually heard much more unpleasant things than these.
"Okay, Xin'er, ignore them."
At first glance, one of them was Du Qing, who was close to Wu Xianer and Qu Lingling.
He has the same name as himself, and even his father is an official in the Secretariat. Du Qing must be extremely jealous of him.
The thing that women in the capital city lack the most is jealousy and a competitive spirit.
Gu Qing knew exactly what she was thinking and patted Mu Xin on the shoulder: "Just let me handle this matter. How can you always be so stubborn?"
Mu Xin was furious: "I really want to rip these people's mouths off!"
"Don't worry." After saying that, Gu Qing took Yinghong and walked towards the group of women.
"No wonder, it turns out Pei Shaoheng is her lover! How dare she steal a man right in front of Chen Zhizhou?!"
"If I were Chen Zhizhou, I would definitely divorce her! Put her in a pig cage!"
"If you ask me, it's almost time."
Gu Qing stood behind Du Qing and said quietly, "What are you talking about?"
This group of gossiping women suddenly exploded, huddled together and kept their distance from Gu Qing.
Du Qing also subconsciously became cautious: "You...what are you doing! Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation!"
"Eavesdropping?" Gu Qing laughed, his contempt spreading across his face. "There are many roads in the vast land, but do you think this street belongs to you?"
"I can go wherever I want." Gu Qing spoke word by word with such imposing manner that Du Qing was actually stopped by her for a moment.
Seeing this, Mu Xin was happy for Gu Qing and started to watch the fun. Suddenly, Mu Zheng appeared behind her and scared her: "Brother! Why are you walking without making any sound?"
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
Mu Zheng smiled and rubbed Mu Xin's head, but his eyes were always on Gu Qing: "What are you doing over there?"
This side was in a mess, with corpses being carried out one after another, while over there was a lot of activity.
Mu Xin pouted: "Qing'er is debating with the scholars! No, they are not scholars at all. Anyway, Qing'er is teaching those gossiping women a lesson."
Mu Zheng was a little surprised when he heard this: "Lesson?"
Gu Qing actually has such a side to him? Thinking of this, Mu Zheng smiled and said, "How can you see clearly from here? Why don't you go over and take a look?"
"If Madam Chen is bullied, you can help her."
"That makes sense." Mu Xin urged, and took Mu Zheng's arm and walked forward a few steps.
At this time, Gu Qing sneered and said, "You are so well-mannered that you can talk about the relatives of court officials here."
Du Qing already disliked her, and now being lectured by Gu Qing, she was even more furious: "You have the ability to do it, but you are afraid of what others say?"
"I'm afraid you've come to see your lover for the last time today."
As soon as he said this, a crisp sound fell, and Du Qing stared at the person in front of him in disbelief: "You dare to hit me!"
The other women who were gossiping with Du Qing were also frightened and dared not say anything more. No one dared to speak up for Du Qing.
"Why wouldn't I dare to hit you?" Gu Qing said in a deep voice, word by word, "You have falsely accused me. I hit you to teach you the proper etiquette of a girl in the boudoir."
"If I hear any slanderous words from you in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"
Du Qing was so furious that she completely forgot about hierarchy. She rushed forward and grabbed Gu Qing's clothes: "You bitch! How dare you ask me to teach you a lesson! Who do you think you are!"
Gu Qing was annoyed by her and ordered, "Yinghong."
In the blink of an eye, Du Qing flew several meters away and fell to the ground in pain.
Ying Hong said coldly, "Anyone who hurts my wife will be killed without mercy!"
Even Mu Xin and Mu Zheng, who were standing by, were slightly surprised, but they were more relieved and happy.
"Qing'er, you gave us a good show today!"
