Chapter 88 Centrifugal Force
Hearing Gu Yingxue's words, Aunt Zhang chuckled and said, "I have been in this courtyard for seventeen years. How could Miss have ever seen me?"
Gu Yingxue herself felt that she couldn't possibly have met this Aunt Zhang before, but looking at her, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Miss, you should go back. It's late and the dew is heavy; be careful not to catch a cold."
The weather lately is usually coolest at night, but coming from Aunt Zhang's mouth, it felt as chilling as late autumn.
Gu Yingxue didn't care whether Aunt Zhang wanted to get rid of her or not. Anyway, she didn't want to stay in this place, so she turned around and left with Fei'er.
After the two left, a dark figure jumped in through the window.
Why is she here?
A man's voice came from behind. Aunt Zhang smiled and leaned against the man coquettishly, saying, "What? You don't want to see her?"
The man remained noncommittal upon hearing this.
"Okay, I know you're not happy about it, but she's still useful."
As Aunt Zhang spoke, she climbed onto the man's chest. The man, who had been somewhat displeased, was instantly aroused by her advances and pressed Aunt Zhang down.
After Fei'er and Gu Yingxue left, they went straight back to Xueyuan. Chunxiang had already had water boiled and was waiting for Gu Yingxue to return so she could take a bath.
Seeing Chunxiang eagerly waiting for her, Gu Yingxue didn't give her a kind look.
"You don't need to serve me here anymore, get out!"
Such an unabashed dismissal quickly brought tears to Chunxiang's once joyful face.
“Miss, I know I did something wrong before, but could you please give me another chance? I promise I will never act on my own again and do anything to hurt you.”
Gu Yingxue's deliberate coldness towards her during this period had already pushed Chunxiang to her breaking point.
Before Fei'er arrived, she was the person Miss trusted most. Even when Chunyan was still alive, Miss mostly entrusted Chunyan with matters outside the mansion.
But ever since Gu Shuyan was poisoned, the young lady has refused to let her serve her anymore. Sometimes she even shows her disgust.
Looking at Chunxiang, who was weeping uncontrollably, Gu Yingxue glanced at her impatiently. "I've given you countless chances, and what has been the result? I've already done more than enough by not kicking you out. If you're still not satisfied, I don't mind bringing a slave trader tomorrow."
At this point, Gu Yingxue didn't want to waste any more words with her. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, go down. We don't need you to serve us here."
Before Chunxiang could leave, Gu Yingxue had already entered the side room.
As Gu Yingxue's personal maid, Chunxiang dared not complain about her attitude. However, after so many years of relationship, Gu Yingxue actually said such things to her, which made Chunxiang feel extremely heartbroken.
She even thought that Gu Yingxue was willing to risk her life to save Chunyan because she valued their childhood friendship.
It now seems that Gu Yingxue only cared about her relationship with Chunyan.
As for Chunhyang, she has been nothing more than an accessory, a dispensable servant, all these years.
She reached out and wiped away her tears. The pleading look in Chunxiang's eyes was gone, replaced by a hatred she had never felt before.
"Gu Yingxue, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being indifferent."
After Chunxiang finished speaking, she glared hatefully at the depths of the side room, then turned and strode away.
