Chapter 064: Really Cheap
Su Jin didn't even raise his eyelids: "Go ahead."
"Madam, I'm afraid Miss Lin will start to gossip again. What if she instigates the master to come and blame you..."
"Ha!" Su Jin laughed: "That's even better, I'll scold Gu Changqing out as well!"
Blame her? Who gave her face?
She didn't believe that Gu Changqing would not be able to figure out something that even a concubine could tell the difference. If this was really the case, then it could only mean that Gu Changqing's official career was over. Not to mention the fifth rank, he should just resign and become a leisurely person!
Seeing that Su Jin showed no fear, Jin Chuan felt relieved and just asked the maid outside to keep an eye on it.
The relationship between the mistress and the master has finally eased recently. She doesn't want Lin Wanhui to come out and stir up trouble again, causing the relationship that has been repaired with great effort to return to freezing point.
Humph, this Lin Wanhui is really annoying.
At this moment, in the woodshed.
"Master, it's right here, come and have a look, it's been locked up for a whole day, and it hasn't had a drop of water!"
Mother Li led people to the woodshed while crying. Gu Changqing stood at the door and peeked inside through the gap in the broken wooden door. He saw Lin Xiaoniang with her mouth gagged and tied up, huddled beside the firewood pile with tears on her face. She looked pitiful, weak and helpless, which really made Gu Changqing frown.
Seeing this, Madam Li continued to work hard: "I just said a few words that the mistress didn't like, and then she locked us in the woodshed, gagged us and tied us up. I couldn't even go in to bring some food. Woohoo, master, we are so wronged!"
She tried hard to find fault with the lady.
If it were in the past, the master would have gone to Su Jin angrily, and then the two would have had a big quarrel. Although the eldest lady would not let her go, the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion was under the control of Gu Changqing, not Su Jin. So the ending was that Gu Changqing ignored the angry eldest lady and broke into the house directly, taking Lin Xiaoniang away like a hero. The eldest lady was furious, but she had no choice but to cry.
But now, Gu Changqing stood motionless at the door, without any intention of standing up for Lin Xiaoniang.
This made Mother Li and Lin Wanhui feel a little uneasy. The master and servant looked at each other. Mother Li gritted her teeth and knelt directly at Gu Changqing's feet: "Master, even if our little girl is wrong, she has been locked up for so long, why don't you let her out first? Anyway, she has been hungry for a whole day, let her eat something!"
Mother Li burst into tears, and Gu Changqing finally spoke: "Why were you imprisoned?"
Why?
Mother Li was in an even worse mood. Gu Changqing never asked why. He never asked about anything related to Lin Xiaoniang. But now, he actually wanted to know why!
Mother Li was speechless for a moment. Just when she didn't know how to answer, she saw the old woman in the woodshed spoke coldly: "Master, the eldest lady took the fourth girl out, and Miss Lin rushed over and grabbed the fourth girl's hand, saying that she was pregnant with Lin Yousheng's child and asked the fourth girl to give birth to the child..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Changqing's expression changed. He stared at Lin Wanhui and laughed: "How can you say such words from your mouth!"
"Mmm, mmm!"
Lin Wanhui shook her head desperately. Something was stuffed in her mouth, so she couldn't utter any sweet words. She could only cry and shake her head frantically.
Mother Li spoke directly: "Master, this is what is spread outside, everyone says so... Ugh!!"
Gu Changqing was furious. He slapped Mother Li hard on the face and cursed: "You lowly slaves, people outside know nothing. You said dirty words, and you want to spread them in the mansion? I have said it countless times, what is the most important thing is the reputation of the mansion. How come you want to trample on your own face even if it is your own people?"
"Madam, you did the right thing. You should be gagged and locked up!"
W-What?!
Lin Wanhui widened her eyes and stared at Gu Changqing in disbelief. She felt that this person had become unrecognizable to her.
She used to love me so much and I listened to her in everything, but now she says Su Jin did nothing wrong and that she should be locked up? ?
Why did it turn out like this?!
Lin Wanhui couldn't figure it out. She just felt wronged and even more resentful. She clearly had her husband's heart in her hands. What kind of magic did Su Jin use recently to make her husband start to side with her again? What a bitch!
Lin Wanhui's face turned red with anger.
However, since she was his favorite concubine, Gu Changqing did not release her, but instructed the maid who was guarding her: "Prepare some food for her, don't let her starve to death. As for when to let her out, listen to the mistress."
When will it come out? Listen to the lady.
The master and servant were shocked again, and the tears on Lin Wanhui's face could not stop falling.
The most humiliating thing in the world is that she has to beg Su Jin!
No, she didn't want to beg that woman, but Gu Changqing had already spoken, and when she could go out depended on when Su Jin nodded.
Damn it!
If only she were the mistress, if she was high and mighty, how could she be easily stuffed into the woodshed? Isn't it because of her status as the mistress that Su Jin can target her so casually?
Yes, identity, it’s just an identity!
Lin Wanhui's eyes were full of anger. Begging? Okay, she would go and beg Su Jin. As long as she could get out, as long as Yun Ge'er could take the imperial examination, as long as Ruyu could find a wife from a wealthy family, then she wouldn't have to look at Su Jin's face anymore.
As for now, she endured it.
Lin Wanhui bit her lip and when she looked up, she found that Gu Changqing was gone. This man actually left her behind. It seemed that he really didn't care about her anymore.
Lin Wanhui was sad and upset. She could only look at Mother Li and said, "Go tell my sister that I...know I was wrong..."
The words "I admit my mistake" broke my heart. If you didn't know, you would think that Lin Wanhui had suffered a great injustice. The old woman guarding the woodshed rolled her eyes in disdain.
Some people are really good at making trouble. You asked for the punishment, but why do you act as if it was the lady who bullied you? How despicable!
On the other side, Gu Changqing went to Liuting Pavilion again.
Hearing that Gu Changqing was coming, Su Jin stood up, straightened her hair and clothes, and told Jin Chuan with great confidence: "If there is a quarrel later, remember to give me the bed sweeping tool, I will use it to wake up his stupid head."
Jinchuan: ...
Fight, fight?
Well, it’s not like I haven’t fought before, but after this fight, the master won’t come to visit for several years, right?
Jin Chuan sighed, thinking that the relationship that had finally warmed up had finally reached freezing point.
However, when Su Jin was ready to have a big fight, Gu Changqing put down a food box as soon as he entered the room, looked up and said, "Come and try it. I bought your favorite hand-washing crab and a pickled pig's trotter to go with the wine."
Su Jin: ???
Huh? Crab?
No, this dish tastes a bit fragrant...
