Did he say that on purpose because Gu Linchao didn't actually believe she had no connection with Xue Ziyu? Was that why he deliberately sent Xue Ziyu to her to test her?
If she had anything to do with Xue Ziyu, seeing his predicament would surely soften her heart, and she would plead for him, saving his life.
“She conspired with Wen Ruyi to plot against me, why should I plead for her? I think you’re right, what she did deserves to die.” Wen Nongnong raised her chin and said nonchalantly, “By the way, let’s sentence him to be torn apart by chariots.” As she spoke, she patted Si Yi on the shoulder and walked towards Gu Linchao.
Si Yi: "..."
Why is it different from what he thought?
Could it be that Wen Nongnong really has no connection with Xue Ziyu?
He frowned and raised his hand to brush his shoulder.
"Bang!"
Xue Ziyu fainted from fright.
"Drag it away." Si Yi frowned in disgust.
Two armored guards immediately came up and dragged the man away.
Gu Linchao, who was not far away, naturally saw what had just happened and glanced at Si Yi indifferently.
Si Yi noticed this, his heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head, knowing that his master was blaming him for acting on his own initiative.
Gu Linchao withdrew his gaze and looked at Wen Nongnong.
Wen Nong Nong met his gaze with a calm expression.
Gu Linchao paused, then looked away.
"Your Highness is back! This old servant greets Your Highness..." At this moment, Steward Chen led his servants out quickly to greet him. Upon seeing Gu Linchao, the old steward was very excited and almost incoherent. It was clear that he was overjoyed to see Gu Linchao return.
"This servant respectfully welcomes Your Highness back to the manor." Immediately afterwards, a beautiful maid stepped forward, curtsied to Gu Linchao.
Wen Nong Nong noticed that when she bent her legs, she deliberately kept them very low, naturally exposing a section of her fair and slender neck.
Seeing this, she raised an eyebrow. This maid was quite cunning, deliberately exposing her skin in front of Gu Linchao in a seemingly unintentional way. Was she trying to seduce Gu Linchao?
She was curious about Gu Linchao's reaction.
With a beautiful maidservant right in front of him, would he be tempted?
She looked up at the direction.
Unexpectedly, Gu Linchao didn't even glance at the maid, but stepped forward and personally helped Steward Chen up.
"Uncle Chen, there's no need for such formalities."
Steward Chen wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said with concern, "Your Highness must be tired from your journey. Please come in quickly. I have already had hot water and breakfast prepared."
"Okay." Gu Linchao's tone remained indifferent, but Wen Nongnong could still sense that his attitude towards this Steward Chen was slightly different.
She was somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, the aloof Gu Linchao would treat a servant with such a gentle attitude.
She couldn't help but glance at Butler Chen a few more times.
Steward Chen was probably in his fifties, but he was very energetic. When facing Gu Linchao, his face showed genuine concern, suggesting that he was no ordinary servant.
Only then did Steward Chen notice Wen Nongnong, but his expression turned much calmer. "This old servant greets Your Highness."
Wen Nongnong smiled and said, "Uncle Chen."
Butler Chen nodded, then quickly looked away, clearly not liking her.
Wen Nongnong was left feeling awkward.
However, she naturally knew why Butler Chen was acting this way.
This is the fruit of the original owner's actions.
After the original owner married Gu Linchao, because Gu Linchao was not in the mansion, Wen Nongnong became somewhat domineering and often tormented the servants.
Even Steward Chen suffered quite a bit at her hands.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't give her a friendly look when he saw her now.
Okay, she has to take responsibility for the original owner.
