He just could not believe that something like this happened at his mansion, right in his study! That man was a total stranger so what was he doing here?
Something must have gone wrong.
He knew directly what happened! Mrs. Gu was way too stupid! How could she come up with this idea? No matter how annoying Gu Chaoyan was and who her mother was, she was still marrying Lord Huai and she was supposed to bring a lot of benefits for the Gu Mansion after all! Were they trying to ruin the Gu Mansion’s future?
Gu Zhenkang was extremely annoyed.
“It should have been Gu Chaoyan who was in the study, but Ruxue ended up being here. It must be that bitch’s plan! Why are you still asking me this instead of caring about Ruxue?” Mrs. Gu was very angry, gave Gu Zhenkang a push and helped Gu Ruxue up.
All the servants and maids in the yard had been killed. So Mrs. Gu had to do everything herself. She helped Gu Ruxue leave the room to get changed.
As Mrs. Gu came to the door, she turned to Gu Zhenkang. “What are you staring at? Go and get Chen Fu to deal with this matter well, otherwise the Gu Mansion would be ruined!”
Gu Zhenkang let out a heavy sigh. He did want to investigate it, but it was not yet the time. So he had to ask Chen Fu to see to the rest.
These maids and servants were all sold to the Gu Mansion, so the government did not care about whether they were alive or dead, but if too many people died, it would still be quite difficult to hide the truth. At least, the Gu Mansion would gain a terrible reputation. So it was very annoying to deal with the bodies.
Lord Ling was furious, and he did not want to handle these problems, so he had to do it himself.
Gu Zhenkang asked Chen Fu to come along.
Chen Fu was looking pale and his legs were shivering. Gu Zhenkang threw a look at him. “You saw what happened. The Lord had not intended to spare you, but I did, because you have been working very hard for our mansion these years. If you ever leak any of what happened today, then no one is able to save you. You have to work hard here at the Gu Mansion from now on.”
“Go and deal with those bodies.” Gu Zhenkang said.
Then he left directly.
Chen Fu nodded. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and was about to get to work.
***
In the Begonia Yard.
Mrs. Gu helped Gu Ruxue to put on a set of clean clothes and combed her hair, so she looked slightly neater.
Gu Ruxue was still wearing a terrible expression. After experiencing such a matter, she was still worried that Lord Ling would do something to her.
“Mom, I must take revenge, you have to help me!” Gu Ruxue screamed.
“I definitely will!” Mrs. Gu said with consolation. She had thought that the plan would go well, but Ruxue ended up being framed.
Gu Chaoyan loved tea, so she should lie still after drinking the tea. How did she manage to leave? Could it have been Lianxiang? However, she stressed to Lianxiang that she should not leave until she saw her drinking the tea.
Could it have been a coincidence, or Gu Chaoyan’s own plan, or Lianxiang who had done a terrible job?
Mrs. Gu just could not fathom anything.
She looked at Gu Ruxue. “Ruxue, do you still remember how you ended up being in the study?”
