Gu Yundong scoffed. If you have the ability, come and find trouble with me. If you have the ability, don’t pretend to be unconscious, coward.
She turned around and swept her gaze across the crowd.
Just now, these people were still making sarcastic remarks and pointing fingers at Madam Ge, but now, they looked at her and did not dare to say a word.
Who would dare to come out? Didn’t they see that she was so sharp-tongued that even a scholar fainted from her scolding?
“Is there anything else?” Gu Yundong asked.
Everyone immediately shook their heads like rattle drums and waved their hands to deny it. “No, no, no.”
“Miss, what you said just now makes sense.”
“It’s those people. They don’t have any rules.”
“Ah, I remember that there’s still porridge cooking at home. I have to leave quickly.”
“I have to go back and wash my clothes too. It’s rare for the sun to come out.”
As the voices fell, the crowded street instantly dispersed. Everyone fled quickly, as if someone was chasing them from behind.
As soon as they left, they revealed Liu Yi and the coachman standing not far away.
Gu Yundong walked over. Liu Yi pursed his lips and looked serious, but his cheeks were red, as if he was a little agitated.
Although he was standing outside the crowd and could not see what was happening inside, he could hear voices. Coupled with what the coachman had told him, Liu Yi roughly understood.
He still had his hands behind his back as he sized up Gu Yundong for a long time. Yes, she was indeed a woman, and she was quite good-looking.
Liu Yi expressed his satisfaction. “You helped my master’s wife. You’re not bad. You can be my brother’s friend.”
After saying that, he strode towards the entrance of the academy. He first greeted Madam Ge, then brought Madam Ge’s daughter, Qin Anning, inside.
Madam Ge stood there and waited for her. She only came over when she saw her carrying a small basket from the carriage.
Gu Yundong held Madam Ge’s other side with her free hand and entered the school with the maidservant.
Yes, she came in just like that.
Madam Ge was very grateful to her. After she sat down in the room, she thanked her again. “Thank you so much for today. If it weren’t for you, I might have been injured and those people wouldn’t have left so easily.”
Gu Yundong put the basket aside and said, “I thought my words were too sharp and rude just now, and Madam won’t like me.”
Madam Ge was stunned for a moment before she laughed. “What are you talking about? You were trying to help me. Am I such an ungrateful person? Besides, those people from Dongyi Academy are indeed detestable. I also want to scold them fiercely. But I’m not as eloquent as you.”
Gu Yundong smiled. Qin Wenzheng’s wife was easy to talk to.
Madam Ge had sprained her ankle. Fortunately, it was not very serious.
There were not many servants in the Qin family. Other than the gatekeeper, there was also the butler, Madam Ge’s maidservant, Qin Wenzheng’s servant, and an old woman at the stove.
The servant followed Qin Wenzheng to the Liu residence. The butler was also instructed to go out to do something. The old woman went to the market to buy groceries, which resulted in only Madam Ge and few people in the house.
Now that the old woman was back, she knew how to take care of injuries. She took the medicinal wine and rubbed the ankle hard.
Madam Ge changed her clothes and came out of the inner room to talk to Gu Yundong. “I haven’t asked for your name. Why did you dress up as a servant and follow the young master of the Liu family here? What’s the matter?”
Gu Yundong nodded. “My name is Gu Yundong. I’m indeed here for something today.”
“Miss Gu, please speak.”
She had just started when hurried footsteps came from outside.. “Madam, Madam, how are you?”
