Master Liu released Zou Wenjun from his arms and said coldly.
Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. This kid actually beat my maid right in front of me.
They really didn't take him, the richest man in Jiangdu, seriously.
Gu Lili opened the folding fan in her hand with a "whoosh," and then chuckled and said, "It's not Liu Yuanwai. Since your daughter is with my second uncle, then we are relatives. This action is entirely for Liu Yuanwai's sake."
Gu Lili waved her folding fan, looking at Master Liu with a half-smile.
You know what, Han Mingyue's flamboyant style, to be honest, is quite refreshing.
"Tell me your thoughts," Master Liu asked with a stern face.
Although Chang'an was nearby, Master Liu was still displeased that Gu Lili had humiliated him in front of the servants.
"This girl is so unrestrained in front of you. If you weren't here, who knows what even more outrageous things she would do. When you're out in public, the servants' reputation is that of the head of the household. At least this is in front of me. If it were in front of outsiders, it might get out, and then you'd be ridiculed." Gu Lili said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Master Liu's face darkened, and he glared fiercely at Tao Hong.
Tao Hong could tell from her husband's expression that he was angry.
She was startled and knelt before Master Liu, protesting, "Master, I didn't flirt with this young master! You know that... I..."
Before Tao Hong could finish speaking, Master Liu slapped her hard across the face, silencing her.
"Guards! Gag this filthy wench and sell her to a brothel!" Master Liu roared.
As soon as Master Liu finished speaking, the servant beside him quickly picked up a rag from the table, gagged Tao Hong, and dragged her out.
Zou Wenjun glanced sideways at Tao Hong as she left, then gave Liu Yuanwai a coquettish look, quite satisfied with his actions.
She already knew that Master Liu was staying in that lowly hussy Tao Hong's room, but she couldn't do anything about it. Unexpectedly, Gu Lili helped her without her even realizing it.
Tao Hong dared to be so arrogant just now, clearly because she was relying on Master Liu's power.
The peach blossoms are youthful, and although Zou Wenjun still retains her charm, she cannot escape the ravages of time.
I've been wanting to get rid of this peach blossom for quite some time now.
Gu Lili was able to persuade Master Liu to punish Tao Hong with just a few words, partly due to Zou Wenjun's influence.
She often had Xiao Si talk about Tao Hong wherever Liu Yuanwai passed by, saying that she was beautiful and gentle.
Why would a servant boy praise a maid so highly? Master Liu had long harbored resentment about this.
Anyway, I've already gotten tired of this girl, so I'll just find some more delicate girls to serve me.
"Alright, then you can take Miaoyin away now," said Master Liu, rubbing his temples, looking slightly tired.
As he spoke, he gestured to a servant to hand the bundle to Liu Miaoyin.
Because Liu Miaoyin was wearing a veil, her facial expression could not be seen for a moment.
However, she accepted the bag without hesitation.
Master Liu couldn't help but sigh. That girl Tao Hong was quite skilled in bed. It would take a lot of effort to find another one.
Gu Lili and the other two exchanged glances, then looked at Liu Miaoyin before getting up to say goodbye.
Liu Miaoyin followed behind Gu Lili and the other two without any hesitation, not even bothering to glance at the Liu family.
There were no words of farewell.
Gu Lili was also full of questions. It seemed that wealthy families would bring maids as part of the dowry when their daughters got married.
However, it's normal that the Liu family, a wealthy man and his wife, didn't behave this way.
"Master, look at that girl Miaoyin, she's so heartless! She's about to leave with someone, and she doesn't even know how to say goodbye. Even a dog would wag its tail!"
The group had only taken a few steps outside when they heard Zou Wenjun's sweet, coquettish voice coming from inside.
"They're gone, so be it, that's all for now..."
The rest of what was said was not heard clearly because Master Liu deliberately lowered his voice.
Liu Miaoyin had obviously heard what her father and mother were saying, and her pale, thin hands were clenched tightly into a ball.
"Are you alright?" Gu Lili asked.
Hearing Gu Lili's concerned voice, Liu Miaoyin shook her head, and her tightly clenched hands gradually relaxed.
"Let's go."
Liu Miaoyin's voice was hoarse and low.
Gu Lili nodded, and the group continued walking towards the inn.
It's not the time to ask questions outside. We can ask when we get to the inn.
Upon arriving at the inn, the waiter greeted them with a smile.
Since Liu Miaoyin was also with Gu Lili and her two companions, the waiter figured they would need to add another room.
"Sir, would you like another superior room?" the waiter asked with a smile.
Gu Lili wasn't used to sleeping in the same room with a stranger, so she looked at Li Ershu and saw him nod slightly. Gu Lili then nodded in agreement.
Although Li Ershu snatched the embroidered ball, he did not get married, so naturally he could not and would not share a room with Liu Miaoyin.
The room was opposite the one Gu Lili was staying in. The waiter escorted them upstairs and then turned and went back downstairs.
Gu Lili pushed open the door and stepped inside first, then turned to look at Liu Miaoyin.
"Miss Liu, would you like to talk?" Gu Lili asked with a kind expression.
After all, Gu Lili is currently dressed in men's clothing, and it seems somewhat inappropriate for three grown men to have a heart-to-heart talk with one woman late at night.
However, judging from Li Ershu's expression, he clearly also wanted to ask Miss Liu what she was thinking.
So, Gu Lili spoke first.
Gu Lili originally thought Liu Miaoyin would be scared, but to her surprise, she walked in without hesitation.
Chang'an and Li Ershu also came in and gently closed the door.
Before Gu Lili and the other two could even speak, Liu Miaoyin took off her veil and knelt straight down on the ground.
Although Liu Miaoyin's eyes were swollen and red like two walnuts, it was not hard to tell that she had a beautiful appearance.
Liu Miaoyin's actions startled Gu Lili and the other two. Li Ershu quickly reached out to help her, but then, remembering the difference between men and women, he withdrew his hand.
"Please, three gentlemen, save my mother!" Liu Miaoyin cried.
Gu Lili and Li Ershu Chang'an exchanged a glance, both seeing the question in each other's eyes.
The waiter at the restaurant just said that Liu Miaoyin is a legitimate daughter.
Zou Wenjun is her mother, and Zou Wenjun is perfectly fine there, so why does she need to be rescued?
Seeing Liu Miaoyin kneeling on the ground, Gu Lili didn't know what to say, so she stepped forward to help her up.
"Girl, wait until I finish speaking before I get up."
