Chapter 535 Madam? Sympathize with him? Ask Lu Ge'er to send someone over?
When Lu Ge'er came out of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, a cold wind blew.
The red in his eyes faded a little, replaced by a bottomless silence.
When he returned to his yard, he did not read or rest, but just sat quietly in the chair.
After a moment, he ordered the servant waiting outside the door, "Go, call Chun Tao and Xia He, whom the old lady sent."
Soon, two graceful maids came in. They saw that Lu Ge'er's face was calm and no longer angry, and they were secretly happy, thinking that the storm was over.
The two of them bowed softly: "Young Master."
Lu Ge'er raised his eyes and swept his gaze across their carefully dressed faces, his tone so gentle that not a trace of emotion could be heard.
"Grandfather has been busy with state affairs and has been quite tired lately. I heard that you two are very skillful."
"I thought that if you could go and serve Grandpa, massage his shoulders and back, it would be considered as my filial piety."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on Chuntao and Xiahe's faces froze.
They were here to seduce the eldest young master on the orders of the Third Lady, so how come they were being sent to the master's study in the blink of an eye?
The two were stunned and almost thought they had heard it wrong.
Lu Ge'er didn't give them a chance to respond, his voice still gentle, "Grandma is so thoughtful, and you are smart people, so I believe you can serve Grandpa well. This is also your blessing."
He brought up the "grandmother" and put on the hat of "filial piety". Even if the two maids had great courage, they dared not say a word of "no".
Lu Ge'er then said to the servant outside the door, "Send them politely to grandfather's study."
"Just say that your grandmother, sympathizing with your grandfather's hard work, has specially ordered your grandson to send these two clever people to relieve his fatigue."
"Yes, young master." The servant accepted the order and made a "please" gesture to the two pale-faced maids.
There was bright candlelight in Master Gu San's study.
He was frowning over a pile of official documents when he suddenly heard a servant outside the door delivering a message.
"Master, the eldest young master sent two maids over."
Master Gu San didn't even raise his head: "What are you sending a maid for?"
The servant bowed and repeated Lu Ge'er's words word for word: "The eldest young master said that the old lady sympathized with your hard work and specially ordered him to send these two smart people here to relieve your fatigue."
Master Gu San's pen, which was used to review official documents, suddenly paused.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes sharp as torches, and looked at the two slim maids at the door who lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Madam? Be considerate of him? Ask Lu Ge'er to send someone over?
After years of ups and downs in officialdom, he figured out the key points in just a moment.
A surge of anger rose from the bottom of my heart.
He looked at the two maids meaningfully, and said in a deep voice, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry: "Oh? Lu Ge'er, you are indeed filial. Madam, you have taken great care of her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air pressure in the study suddenly dropped, as if a storm was about to come.
Master Gu San waved his hand at the two trembling maids and said, "You two, wait outside the door first."
When the two men retreated as if they had been pardoned, his face instantly turned ashen.
"Go! Call my wife!"
Mrs. Gu San saw her husband's bad face and asked, "Master, what's wrong? Is it because the affairs of the court are not going well and it makes you angry?"
"You still have the nerve to ask!"
Master Gu San suddenly grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it hard to the ground!
“Bang!”
Porcelain pieces flew everywhere and tea spilled all over the floor.
"Let me ask you, why did the girl from Brother Lu's room come to me? And she even shamelessly said it was your idea, asking Brother Lu to send her here as a token of filial piety!"
Mrs. Gu San was startled, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
She immediately put on an aggrieved look, about to cry: "Master, please calm down! This, this must be that Lu Ge'er has misunderstood my intentions!"
"I just saw that he was getting older and had no one to care for him, so I wanted to find someone to help him with his writing and to help arrange a marriage for him sooner in the future."
She wiped her eyes with her sleeve, then changed the subject and began to cry, "I have a loving mother's heart, but who could have known he would misinterpret it so much, and even go so far as to disturb the master with such a thing!"
"This child has really been spoiled by us!"
"A mother's heart?" Master Gu San laughed in anger. He pointed at Madam Gu San's nose, his hands shaking.
"Your motherly love means stuffing two alluring, seductive vixens into an eleven-year-old's room?"
"Do you think I'm dead or blind?"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the study: "Master, Madam, someone from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion wants to see you."
Before he finished speaking, a housekeeper with a serious expression walked in, followed by two sturdy maids.
The housekeeper bowed to Master Gu San without even looking at Mrs. Gu San who was slumped on the ground, and her voice was clear and powerful.
"According to our Madam's orders, the confession of Cui Huan, the maid from the third room, is presented to the Third Master for his review."
She presented a confession filled with words, and then read out the contents word for word in front of Master Gu San.
From how to pretend to obey but actually disobey, to how to instigate with every word, to alienate the relationship between brothers and sisters.
How to instigate Lan Jie'er to slap the servants and mistreat the old servants...
All of Madam Gu San's vicious "flattery" tactics and her sinister calculations were exposed.
Every word was like a loud slap in the face of Mrs. Gu San.
Her color faded in an instant, and her carefully woven lies were ruthlessly exposed. She collapsed to the ground, shaking like a sieve.
The game is over.
After hearing the confession, Master Gu San was so angry that his whole body trembled.
He looked at his wife lying in a shambles on the ground, his eyes filled with deep disappointment and disgust.
"My two good children and the reputation of my Gu family were almost ruined by a vicious woman like you!"
