Master Gong was annoyed by her crying.
He frowned and yelled, "Enough! All you do is cry!"
So, what did Gong Ziming do wrong?
First he took a bullet from Bai An, and now this brat is pinning him to the ground and beating him.
Master Gong has a headache.
He turned around and said coldly, "Lock him in the room for seven days and seven nights to reflect on his mistakes."
"Master," the second concubine said happily, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master."
Gong Ziqi was unconvinced.
What right does he have to imprison him?
She even wanted to talk back to him.
He turned around and met his elderly mother's red and swollen eyes.
My heart ached for a moment.
Gong Ziqi gritted his teeth and ultimately endured it.
That night, his second concubine came to his room.
His servants were helping him apply the medicine.
The second concubine leaned closer and saw long red marks all over his body.
She frowned, feeling somewhat reluctant.
"Ziqi." Her voice choked with emotion as she spoke.
The second concubine casually took the cotton swab from the servant and then called everyone else out.
She applied the medicine for him herself.
His shoulder trembled slightly when the cotton swab touched the wound on his body.
The second concubine couldn't hold back, and tears the size of beans fell directly down her cheeks.
"Ziqi, does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Gong Ziqi didn't turn around, but even without looking, he knew she was crying.
That old man, he's really gone too far.
"Mom, I don't understand why you sent my cousin's body away that day."
He's dead.
Only by leaving the body here can they seek justice later.
The second concubine sobbed, "I... I just couldn't bear to see him lying there all alone."
If they really stay, the Gong family might not give the Bai family an explanation.
The master said that day that it was fortunate he had disappeared, otherwise he would have shot him in the head.
Gong Ziqi was furious. "If Uncle hadn't been reported a few years ago, our Bai family would have wiped out the Gong family today."
They're taking them way too lightly.
The second concubine was startled and slapped Gong Ziqi hard.
The latter grimaced in pain.
"Ziqi, you can't just say things like that."
The Gong family is large and talkative; what if someone overhears them?
Gong Ziqi snorted coldly, his face full of reluctance.
He felt in his heart that he hadn't been talking nonsense.
"Alright," the second concubine sighed, "you should stop arguing with your father all the time."
Of all the children in the family, he was the least popular.
...
A few days later, Paul was found near the beach.
He had a gunshot wound at the time.
When the butler brought him back to the Gong family, he took the initiative to ask to see Master Gong.
The second concubine was right there.
She had a bad feeling.
After the housekeeper left, she moved closer to Paul.
She pushed him, her face full of suspicion, "What are you doing here again?"
Didn't he promise her he would leave the island?
"I've already given you 500,000, what more do you want?"
"I'm sorry." Paul lowered his head, his face heavy. "Second wife, after thinking about it, I think I'll return this money to you."
If he took this ill-gotten money, he would not only live with a guilty conscience for the rest of his life.
If his wife and children find out later, they will also look down on him.
"What do you mean?" The second concubine's expression changed, her eyes flashing with murderous intent. "Paul, are you trying to back out now?"
"Second concubine, I..."
"Paul, the master is here."
As they were talking, the butler and Master Gong came downstairs.
When the second concubine met the stern gaze of the master, she instinctively trembled.
As she stepped back, she whispered a warning, "Watch your words."
