The Countess’ women were having a lively discussion, but a certain vice monitor looked ashen-faced. His neck stiffened as he turned to look at Gu Tong, whose smile was still radiant, and instantly shrank his neck...
Amitabha... Earl, take care of yourself...
Within a few minutes, they were already at the door of the dormitory. No one knocked, and the air was exceptionally silent.
Gu Tong’s eyes were like torches, glaring at the silver iron door and kicking it hard, saying, "You have the ability to make people do your laundry, but not to open the door? I know you’re home!"
"..." The certain vice monitor was dumbfounded.
Once again, gaining a new understanding of the madam’s violent methods.
The footsteps inside the room got closer and closer, the iron door opened a crack, and Li Yan’s intriguing dark eyes scrutinized Gu Tong. His thin lips moved slightly, "Did you take gunpowder?"
He was just lying in the room for a while, and it already got this noisy. If it were someone else, Li Yan would definitely have thrown her out.
"I took explosives!" Gu Tong pushed him aside and barged into the room without any care, feeling extremely annoyed right now, just extremely!
Li Yan frowned tightly but still didn’t figure out what was going on. The certain vice monitor opposite was gesturing wildly, probably trying to tell some story.
"Speak straight, why are you gesturing!" Li Yan didn’t catch on.
"..." The certain vice monitor wanted to die... said, "Uh... Earl, you’d better slowly talk it out with the madam, I’m heading back..." He could only help to this point.
"Hmm." There wasn’t the slightest bit of retention.
Li Yan directly closed the door, then glanced at Gu Tong, who was pacing the room, "What are you searching for?" He was completely puzzled by Gu Tong, having no idea what she was angry about. Could it be that Lan Siming upset her?
Gu Tong simply stopped rummaging and said straightforwardly, "I heard it! Qiu Xue did your laundry, didn’t she? I have hands and feet and I’m still alive, why trouble her with laundry?"
She knew Qiu Xue did it on purpose, but she just couldn’t stand it.
Recalling the rumors from their past at the Academy about Li Yan and Qiu Xue, she was boiling with rage!
Li Yan finally understood why Gu Tong was angry, "She spilled ink on my clothes, that’s why she washed them for me."
Gu Tong understood Li Yan’s character. If it wasn’t for a special reason, he would never have done this. But still...
"We’re in a hidden marriage, and the outside world doesn’t know about our relationship. It would surely cause rumors if people hear about a lady doing laundry for someone!"
She couldn’t believe Li Yan hadn’t thought of this. He’s a man with a family, how could he not notice these details!
"I refused!" This sentence was enough to express Li Yan’s attitude at that time. He was not someone to overlook such things, and he surely considered Gu Tong’s perspective, so he would never make such a low-level mistake.
But he didn’t expect Qiu Xue to still hold his clothes and go wash them, which was an unforeseen result.
Upon hearing this sentence.
Gu Tong deflated like a punctured balloon, and all her anger vanished without a trace. Li Yan, who was usually so sparing with his words, had said so much today. Indeed, it was Qiu Xue’s high-handed tactics. To sow discord between them, she would even go so far as to lower her status for such a thing.
She was still manipulated by past events, which was why she had such intense emotions...
Recalling their past days at the Academy, people thought Li Yan and Qiu Xue were a couple, a match made in heaven. Even if they announced their engagement, people would still think she was the third party. To reach such a perception required relentless effort.
Turns out... she had already begun taking action...
