But the magistrate knew nothing of this. He recounted the whole story to them, and after he finished, he said, "Whether this matter is true or false, I think you all know the answer in your hearts, so at this point... I still advise you to hurry up and get her to hand over the money."
Anyone with a brain can figure out what's going on here.
So now, it all depends on how they themselves plan this matter.
At this moment, Gu Dekang also hurriedly looked at Gu Sang.
Gu Sang blinked innocently at Gu Dekang.
Watch her do it; this isn't something she framed.
At this moment, Gu Yingfu hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord! This is a misunderstanding! This must be a frame-up by that Su girl. She has always looked down on our family..."
“You have to be sure of evidence before you speak, after all… the sir is here, and so am I.”
After hearing Gu Yingfu's words, Gu Sang simply said something.
She stopped there; that was all she could say. If the Gu family dared to slander her again, Gu Sang would not be so polite.
After Gu Sang said those words, Gu Yingfu shut up.
She was really bored and wanted to slander Gu Sang, but Gu Sang was no pushover either. Gu Sang knew exactly what they were relying on to treat her like this.
She hadn't planned to pay them any attention, but since they were all so shameless, Gu Sang wasn't going to let them off so easily.
When the county magistrate heard Gu Yingfu's words, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and his eyes looked at Gu Yingfu with a hint of doubt.
Is this person mentally ill?
The needle was almost slapped onto their foreheads, yet they all stubbornly refused. Did they think they were human?
"Are you sure what you're saying is true? If it is, then I will have to search you. If I do find silver on Zhang Shi, then..."
"My lord, I... I only spoke carelessly for a moment..."
Gu Yingfu became completely obedient and dared not speak again.
When the county magistrate saw Gu Yingfu's appearance, he merely gave a cold snort.
What kind of person is most despised?
Of course, it's this kind of person who goes back on their word, who clearly has no ability and is the one who did something wrong, but still refuses to repent. Such a person is truly despicable.
The county magistrate didn't even want to look at them.
At that moment, Gu Sang blinked and looked at the eldest child beside her.
"See that? That's what's most admirable about the onlookers—they actually know everything."
These little tricks couldn't be hidden from the magistrate at all. He knew exactly what was going on, so sometimes, there was really no need for others to say so much.
Because they all understand it very well.
Although Da Wa and San Wan were unaware of the situation, it did not diminish their admiration. At this moment, the way they looked at the magistrate was also filled with a hint of worship.
Gu Sang's actions in this regard are quite interesting, because she clearly understands what is going on and what to do if things escalate into something serious in the future.
So when Gu Sang saw the magistrate's satisfied expression, she was also very satisfied.
If they're happy here, then there must be people who aren't.
When Gu Dekang arrived, Zhang thought she had found a pillar of support and felt much more at ease. However, after hearing the magistrate's words, Zhang hurriedly looked at Gu Dekang.
"Master..."
They couldn't just hand over the silver like that; it was a considerable sum. If they did, Zhang's heart would ache terribly.
When Gu Dekang saw Zhang's appearance, he became even more certain that Zhang had indeed taken the money.
Sometimes, Gu Dekang really couldn't tell whether Zhang Shi was smart or brainless. How could he be so incomprehensible about the things she had done?
They want to get involved in everything, but in reality, they can't do anything well.
But you can't say it, because if you do, Zhang will think you're looking down on him, and then he'll make a scene.
Gu Dekang knew Zhang Shi's personality all too well, so at this moment, Gu Dekang really didn't know what to say to Zhang Shi.
She sighed helplessly, and after a long pause, she finally said, "What do you want from me to behave?"
This kind of thing is really upsetting.
Upon hearing this, Zhang was momentarily stunned, then widened her eyes and looked at Gu Dekang in surprise.
"Master, what are you saying? Is this my fault? If this little bastard hadn't stolen our money, would I be so determined to teach her a lesson?"
Zhang was truly furious, but even more so, heartbroken.
In Zhang's view, she had not made any mistake at all. After all, it was all Gu Sang's fault. If the third branch of the family had been more obedient, Zhang would not have ended up like this.
But now they're all blaming themselves. What do they mean by that?
This is something you really can't think about, because just thinking about it makes Zhang feel like she's about to explode!
"What are you doing here? Didn't you come to help me?"
help?
Upon hearing this, Gu Defu couldn't help but chuckle.
This is important, so how can I help?
"Did you take someone's money?"
Zhang paused, her eyes flickered, and she remained silent.
"I'm asking you a question! Did you take someone's money?!" Gu Dekang didn't have time to play games with Zhang Shi, nor did he want to argue with her about such useless things. He just wanted to know what Zhang Shi was really thinking! Whether she had actually taken someone's money or not.
However, there's really no need to ask, because Gu Dekang knows in his heart that Zhang Shi must have taken it.
Given Zhang's personality, how could she possibly refuse to take it?
It's really laughable. Originally, the Gu family didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and they didn't even take it seriously in the past.
But now, Gu Dekang has realized that if his family doesn't keep an eye on Zhang Shi, they'll be ruined by her sooner or later!
