Chapter 803 My cousin is reborn and wants to snatch my marriage (12)
Ming Xun sneered and said, "Don't worry, this guy is not innocent at all. He relied on his handsome face and pretended to be a good person to deceive many innocent girls. One of them became pregnant after being deceived by him. He was asked to take responsibility, but he refused. The girl had no choice but to jump into the river, and both of them drowned."
Gu Shichu immediately withdrew his sympathy.
"I've brought the person here, what next?" Ming Xun asked.
"The next thing is how to let people find these two people. The more people who find them, the better. But Gu Shiyao may have made arrangements before. You send people to keep an eye on them. If she doesn't have time to make arrangements, it won't be too late for you to take action." Gu Shichu said without any psychological burden.
"I have done everything, so what are you doing?" Ming Xun asked righteously. He was not very happy when he heard that Gu Shichu had arranged everything for him clearly but she just stood by and watched.
Gu Shichu glanced at him calmly and said, "If it weren't for you, how could I have suffered such an unexpected disaster? Besides, this is your house, so of course you have to clean up the mess. I am an orphan with no power, and I have already done my best to bring Gu Shiyao here. You still want me to clean up the mess. Aren't you afraid that the matter will be exposed?"
Ming Xun stopped talking when he heard this, but he looked Gu Shichu up and down and muttered, "It's impossible for an ordinary orphan to bring Gu Shiyao here smoothly, right?"
Gu Shichu pretended not to hear what he said and walked out: "I'm going back, you can do whatever you want!"
Ming Xun waved his hand at her: "Got it."
Gu Shichu was about to step out of the door when he suddenly seemed to remember something and said awkwardly, "Hey! You haven't told me your name yet!"
"You don't need to know, we just met by chance and will never see each other again!" Gu Shichu Liantou always said this.
Ming Xun heard her tone of disdain for him and immediately became angry: "If you don't know, then you don't know. I still think you are unlucky!"
Gu Shichu took off her makeup and turned back into the quiet Third Young Lady of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. Zhiqiu's stomachache was gone. He had been looking for her for a long time. When he saw her, he was relieved: "I finally found you! Where did you go? The banquet is about to start. If you are late, the Madam will blame you..."
Gu Shichu comforted her: "I'm back on time, right? Don't worry, the eldest lady doesn't want to blame me." After all, Gu Shiyao's scandal would soon break out, and by then Zhou would be busy covering up her daughter's shame, so how could she care whether she arrived at the banquet early or not?
Gu Shichu sat at the table with peace of mind. The birthday banquet for the wife of Marquis Qi Yang was prepared very attentively. Various delicacies from land and sea and rare dishes were served one after another. It was a dazzling array and Gu Shichu was very satisfied with the meal.
But Zhou was very upset because she found that her daughter was not there! She was absent at such an occasion and time! Moreover, the seats for each guest were basically fixed, and one of the full tables was suddenly empty. Everyone knew who was not there at a glance.
Listening to the whispers of people around her, she felt very embarrassed. She had already sent her maids and servants to look for her, and asked the wife of Marquis Qi Yang to send someone to help, but no one was found after a while. She cursed Gu Shiyao in her heart, but was also very worried that something might have happened to her. In short, she was extremely anxious.
She suddenly saw Gu Shichu eating with gusto, as if he had no idea that his elder sister was missing. She was immediately furious and asked in a low voice, "How can you still be in the mood to eat?! Don't you know that your elder sister is missing? You are so heartless!"
Gu Shichu glanced at her without saying anything. He continued to pick up the dishes slowly and ignored Zhou. Zhou was so furious when she saw her like this. Fortunately, she still remembered the occasion and did not start scolding. However, she still glared at Gu Shichu fiercely, with a look as if she wanted to eat her.
"Yao'er was with you when she first came. Why did she disappear? Tell me clearly." Zhou asked relentlessly.
"I separated from my elder sister halfway through. If you don't believe me, go ask her friends. My elder sister has been with her friends since then. Everyone has seen it. My niece knows that my aunt is worried about my elder sister, but you can't blame me, right?" Gu Shichu wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly with a handkerchief and explained.
Zhou was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling. She secretly hated Gu Shichu's attitude towards her for not being submissive enough, and not being as respectful as before. But now it was not a question of pursuing her attitude. Finding her daughter was the most important thing, so she asked Gu Shichu again: "Which girls are with Yao'er? Tell me in detail, don't leave any of them out!"
"Miss Li from the Minister of Rites' family, the fifth lady from the Left Censor-in-Chief Chen's family..." Gu Shichu said the names of several ladies without hesitation.
Zhou then hurriedly went to ask these young ladies quietly.
After finally waiting for the banquet to end, Zhou left with several of Gu Shiyao's close friends. Gu Shichu looked at their backs with a feeling of indifference in his heart.
She took a walk in various crowded places, and about quarter of an hour later, an extremely shrill scream resounded through the sky of Qi Yang Marquis' Mansion.
The guests who heard the sound were shocked for a moment, and then they became curious about what had happened. Everyone wanted to watch the fun and like gossip, so they went in groups of three or four to find the place where the scream came from.
Gu Shichu also followed the crowd. As expected, Gu Shiyao was discovered lying in bed with a strange man in dishevelled clothes. It was her own mother Zhou and her friends who discovered her "sexual infidelity".
When Zhou saw her daughter entangled with a man, she felt as if struck by lightning, as if a bolt of lightning had hit her head hard. It was only the scream of a girl who came to look for someone that pulled her out of her astonishment.
After she realized what was happening, she knew her daughter was really screwed this time! If she was caught doing something like this, what kind of reputation and future would she have? Unless the person she was fooling around with was the prince Mingxun, her future fiancé...
Unfortunately, even though Zhou’s eyesight was not very good, she could see clearly that the man sleeping in bed with her daughter was not the son of Marquis Qi Yang!
Zhou wanted to faint so that she wouldn't have to face this embarrassing and shameful scene, but she couldn't. If she fainted, Gu Shiyao would be in even greater danger. So she had to face all kinds of strange looks from the people around her and make up for Gu Shiyao. So she ran over like crazy and wanted to pull the strange man off the bed, and cursed: "Where did this lecher come from! How dare you hurt my daughter like this!"
She wanted to be the first to portray Gu Shiyao as a victim rather than an accomplice.
