Chapter 568 I'll Let You Punish Me
Shen Wantang looked at him helplessly: "I'm not choosing him anymore, are you satisfied now?"
"Then who should we choose?"
Gu Qianhan looked at her intently: "A-Tang, speak up, who do you choose?"
Shen Wantang was somewhat overwhelmed by his gaze and assertiveness, and she could only admit, "I choose you."
Gu Qianhan smiled. Although he knew the answer, hearing her say it herself still filled him with immense joy.
He put her fingers to his lips and kissed them repeatedly: "I knew it, you don't like simple-minded people, you like someone like me who's cunning."
Shen Wantang's breathing became slightly erratic and her heartbeat quickened as he kissed her.
Her mind was still relatively clear, and she realized something: "Gu Qianhan, you didn't plant any spies around me before, did you?"
Otherwise, why would he suddenly say that Xiao Qingyuan sending her a maid was to plant spies? He must have done it himself, which is why he thinks Xiao Qingyuan would do the same!
But how could Xiao Qingyuan possibly have that kind of brain?
But Gu Qianhan definitely has the brains!
Gu Qianhan was unusually a little guilty, but he didn't show it on his face: "No."
Shen Wantang sneered: "You answered too quickly and too decisively. Of course there is! I'll give you one more chance to answer. Yes or no?"
Now it was Gu Qianhan's turn to be unable to resist. He could lie to others without batting an eye, but when it came to lying to Shen Wantang, he couldn't get past his own conscience.
Moreover, she is too intelligent; it is extremely difficult to deceive her.
He had no choice but to admit, "Yes."
Shen Wantang was stunned. It actually existed?!
However, the people around her were all carefully selected and investigated by her. She thought through all the people around her in her previous life, but she still couldn't figure out who Gu Qianhan had bribed.
Seeing her shocked and confused, Gu Qianhan took the initiative to confess: "Qiyu beside you is one of my people."
"Chess language?"
Shen Wantang's eyes widened. She had always thought that Qiyu was the most honest and upright one. She never expected that this girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes would be a traitor.
She couldn't help but shake her head: "I treated her so well, but it turns out that her body was with me, but her heart was with you. I thought I was smart, but now I realize that I've been sold out and I probably didn't even know it."
Gu Qianhan watched helplessly as her mood plummeted, feeling as if his heart had been pricked by a needle: "I didn't ask Qiyu to do anything else, just to pass me some information about you. The fault doesn't lie with the maid, it's my fault. I was too eager to know everything about you, so I used her brother's life to exchange for her loyalty to me."
"If you don't like her, I'll take her away today, along with Huayi. Just send everyone else away; you stay and remain loyal to your cause."
Shen Wantang looked at him without saying a word.
Gu Qianhan smiled wryly: "Are you angry? I promise I won't do this again. Forgive me this time, and I'll let you punish me as you please, okay?"
Shen Wantang didn't know what punishment she could give him; he was too powerful, and no punishment could hurt him.
Moreover, she herself probably couldn't accept it if she could actually hurt him.
Moreover, can she blame chess language?
It seems we can't really blame her. Qiyu had her reasons and didn't do anything to hurt her. Besides, Qiyu hasn't done anything in this life yet!
This was the first time Shen Wantang had felt so frustrated: "The maids that Xiao Qingyuan just sent me, what's the meaning of you taking them away? I don't need you to deal with them for me, I'll deal with them myself."
Gu Qianhan's tone carried a hint of worry: "What about me? What are you going to do with me?"
Shen Wantang pulled her hand away from his: "You? Go home. I find you more annoying than my father!"
Gu Qianhan couldn't help but feel a little worried. He knew how much she hated her father, so how come he was now being treated the same as Shen Guannian?
He tried to shake Shen Wantang's hand, but she avoided him. Then he heard her shout, "Someone, show the guest out!"
Gu Qianhan: "..."
Oh no, I've really angered her. She'll kick people out without warning.
It's all Xiao Qingyuan's fault. Why did he have to send a maidservant? It caused him to be exposed.
He had come today to give Shen Wantang a gift to make her happy, but things turned out completely the opposite.
He left the front hall, glancing back every few steps. Shen Guannian tried to strike up a conversation with him and saw him out, but he was in no mood to respond.
Shen Guannian had no idea that the noble young master in front of him, whom he could not possibly be worthy of, was in a bad mood. He only knew that Gu Qianhan kept turning back to look at Shen Wantang as he walked out.
So after seeing Gu Qianhan off, when he went back to find Shen Wantang, his tone had changed: "Tang'er, are you hungry? Shall I ask the kitchen to make you a table full of your favorite dishes?"
"By the way, is there anything missing in your yard? Whatever you're missing, just tell your father. Now that you're all grown up, you're the face of our Shen family. We can't let you suffer any more than anyone else!"
Shen Wantang didn't stand on ceremony with him. In addition to ordering a table full of dishes, she also asked for everything that was missing in her courtyard, including the monthly allowance and new clothes for the four maids who had just arrived.
Although Shen Guannian was a little reluctant, he agreed immediately!
You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!
He needs to appease this daughter; he'll be counting on her to help him get promoted and make a fortune in the future!
Shen Wantang pretended not to see the pain on Shen Guannian's face. She returned to her courtyard, looked at the maids standing in front of her, and sighed softly.
It wasn't all bad that Qi Yu was bribed by Gu Qianhan. At least, it reminded her that she wasn't good enough at managing her subordinates and that there were areas she needed to improve.
If Gu Qianhan hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known at all that Qiyu's younger brother had an accident.
Qi Yu never mentioned her brother to her.
Shen Wantang's gaze swept across Qi Yu's face, then she spoke calmly about the rules of her place and gave the maids a reward on the spot.
Qin Xin and the others were all very respectful and happy to receive their reward money. Only Hua Yi was absent-minded. Even when Shen Wantang was explaining the rules, she was still looking outside absentmindedly.
Shen Wantang didn't want to leave any room for Huayi either. She said indifferently, "As you can see, the Shen family is poor and far less wealthy and comfortable than the Prince's Mansion. Serving me here will definitely be much harder than serving the Prince in the Prince's Mansion."
"Besides, I don't need that many maids, so even though the young master sent you all here, I still plan to send one or two back to him."
"Is there anyone among you who wants to go back?"
Qin Xin and the others quickly shook their heads: "No!"
What a joke! They've already been sent out; how could they possibly go back?
When Xiao Qingyuan sent them out, he had already said that he had disliked them for a long time and originally wanted to sell them off to a faraway place, but because Shen Wantang liked them, they were spared the fate of being sold off.
Moreover, the girls felt that Shen Wantang was testing them. She didn't really want to send them away; she just wanted to see if they still longed for the wealth of the Prince's Mansion and if they were willing to follow her loyally.
Hua Yi didn't shake her head. She hesitated for a moment and then spoke softly, "Second Miss, I am the most dull and stupid, unlike my clever and capable sisters. If I stay in your mansion, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I will cause trouble for you."
