"No matter how much you like someone, you shouldn't do such sneaky and furtive things!"
"How will this affect people's perception of our family, the Chen family, and the Gu family?"
"Sister, you'd better take it out quickly!"
"Miss Bai is obviously a reasonable person. If we beg her sincerely, she will definitely forgive us."
She seemed to be thinking about Gu Qing in every word, but in fact she wanted to pin the theft on Gu Qing.
Gu Qing narrowed his eyes coldly and spoke in a stern voice.
"Gu Miao, what are you doing here?"
"Did you witness the entire process, or did you see something on me that made you jump out so impatiently? Someone who didn't know you would think you were not a member of the Gu family, but a member of the Bai family?"
"What benefit did Bai Rongrong give you that made you disregard your own family's dignity and honor and frame me like this?"
There was a smile on the corner of her lips, her voice was as cold as ice, and every word she said was like a sharp arrow, shooting straight at Gu Miao.
"Or do you simply dislike me, and that's why you want to humiliate me in front of everyone?"
She wanted to expose Gu Miao's disgusting mask in public and let everyone present see it clearly.
Gu Miao's face turned pale and red after being ridiculed by her words. Noticing the subtle glances from others, he felt angry and anxious, and hurriedly refuted and explained.
"No, no, I just..."
Looking at her pitiful appearance, unable to even speak clearly, Bai Rongrong's face was full of disgust.
What a loser, no wonder he is bullied.
Bai Rongrong couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to say, "Gu Qing, stop confusing right and wrong. Now that someone has pointed fingers at you, what else do you have to say?"
"Will you hand it over voluntarily, or let me search you for it?"
Although she said so, she did not give Gu Qing the chance to choose.
Bai Rongrong and Gu Miao worked together to approach Gu Qing, pretending to search her.
Gu Qing naturally would not surrender. Just when Bai Rongrong took the opportunity to raise his hand, she seized the opportunity and deliberately pulled Gu Miao in front of her at the moment when he was about to fall.
"Pah"...
The crisp sound filled the entire warm room.
Gu Miao covered her face and felt a black screen in front of her eyes, accompanied by a burning and stinging sensation. She also heard Bai Rongrong's screams in her ears.
"You...your face..."
Bai Rongrong's eyes widened and his face turned pale with fear.
Gu Miao finally realized that his human skin mask had fallen off!
In this case, that red, swollen face with disgusting pus would be seen by everyone!
Gu Miao just felt like he was about to faint!
“I…I…”
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the disgusted looks of the people around me. It was as if they were looking at something dirty. Some people were even backing away desperately, as if they were afraid of being infected.
"Hey, what's wrong with her face? It's disgusting."
"That's right, it's not contagious!"
"If it's contagious, and she still comes out to attend the banquet, isn't that intentionally harming others?"
"I want to vomit just looking at it. How dare you come out with such a face? If it were me, I would just stay at home and never go out again in my life!"
"That's right, if I were like that, I might as well just find a rope and hang myself to avoid scaring others."
"What bad luck!"
Everyone spoke in unison, blaming Gu Miao.
Gu Miao felt even more ashamed and angry when he heard these words. Tears fell like crazy and he covered his face desperately.
She simply doesn't want to live anymore!
Just as she was about to escape, Gu Qing grabbed her wrist, with only sarcasm in his eyes.
"Wait, what's that on you?"
Gu Qing pointed at the jade pendant on her waist, and deliberately raised his voice as if he was afraid that others could not hear him.
Gu Miao and Bai Rongrong both looked over and froze in place.
Gu Miao racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. This jade pendant should have been on Gu Qing, so why was it on him now?
Gu Qing guessed the confusion in her heart and looked disdainful.
She had seen through their little tricks a long time ago. She had discovered the jade pendant when the maid bumped into her for no apparent reason.
It's easy to guess who came up with this trick.
However, she did not make it public, but used the same method to stuff it back into Gu Miao.
At the same time, she also noticed something wrong on Gu Miao's face, and took the opportunity to use what had just happened to tear off her human skin mask.
She wanted to see how her black-hearted father would treat his precious daughter after this incident, as Gu Miao's reputation among the officials' wives was completely ruined.
"Isn't the jade pendant that Gu Miao is wearing the one Miss Bai mentioned?"
"This is too bold!"
"That's right, not only did he steal something, but he also wore it so brazenly. That's just too arrogant."
"She just kept saying that she was wrongly accusing her own elder sister. She is so cruel. Could it be that she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to put the things on Gu Qing and use this to prove that Gu Qing is guilty of stealing?"
I don’t know who spoke first, but after she said that, everyone suddenly understood.
Some people even implicated Bai Rongrong, believing that her claim of losing the jade pendant was completely fabricated, and that she was actually conspiring with Gu Miao to frame Gu Qing.
"No, that's not it, I didn't..."
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to him, Gu Miao became extremely anxious.
If this continues, her reputation in the capital will be ruined!
But no matter how she explained, everyone believed what they saw with their own eyes.
"You didn't?"
Gu Qing sneered and said meaningfully, "Now the evidence is irrefutable! Didn't you just keep telling me that no matter how much you like me, I can't do that? Now, I'll return those words to you."
"Gu Miao, you can't lose your conscience."
No matter how stupid Gu Miao was, he understood it.
He shot a resentful look at Gu Qing and said viciously, "It's you, it's all your fault. You took the opportunity to force the jade pendant on me and frame me!"
She screamed at the top of her lungs.
It's a pity that no one would believe her. She used to have such a pitiful face that she could pretend to cry and still get people's sympathy. But unfortunately, her face is disfigured now.
Seeing her speechless and almost going crazy with anger, Gu Qing just felt relieved.
"Gu Miao, you've brought this upon yourself. Instead of going crazy here, I advise you to think carefully about how to face your father's wrath!"
The moment Gu Qing got close to her, he spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Bitch!"
Gu Miao completely lost his mind, gritting his teeth and rushing towards Gu Qing, with a ferocious look on his face, waving his hands and slapping her.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was going to disfigure Gu Qing!
So vicious!
"Come here, tie her up for me!"
The wife of the Marquis of Fucheng watched this farce and finally spoke up to stop it.
As she finished her words, more than a dozen maids rushed towards Gu Miao and Gu Qing, forcibly separated the two, and roughly controlled Gu Miao.
