Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong glanced at him. “What’s the matter?”
“Miss, you must deal with the Xin family?” Xue Rong finally exhaled and asked in a low voice, “How confident are you?”
“Ninety percent.” Gu Yundong smiled.
Xue Rong looked at her in surprise and disbelief. “Miss, you…”
“Why? Don’t you believe me? You’ve been here for so many days, so you should know how I conduct myself. When have you seen me boast?”
Xue Rong paused. He had indeed been silently paying attention to Miss’s words and actions these past few days. He more or less knew her personality.
However, he already knew that the young lady’s identity was only that of a peasant girl. She had no power or influence against the Xin family and could not gain any advantage.
Xue Rong suddenly thought of how busy Gu Yundong had been these past few days and how mysterious he looked.
Could it be that Miss had a helper? And this helper was not an ordinary person?
If that was the case…
Xue Rong was slightly excited. His fingers tugged and tugged. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind.
“If Miss wants to deal with the Xin family, I can help.”
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows and put down her brush. She placed the piece of paper with the names of the various masters of the Xin family aside and smiled. “You’re finally going to talk?”
Xue Rong was stunned. Finally?
Gu Yundong faced him. “I’m listening. Go ahead.”
She knew that Xue Rong definitely knew something, and it was something that others did not know.
Previously, he had said that the Xin family was rich and powerful. Not only did they have people in the capital, but they even… Even what? He did not finish his sentence, but Gu Yundong could guess that Xue Rong probably knew that the Xin family had connections beyond his country.
Moreover, Xue Rong had a grudge against the Xin family.
As expected, Xue Rong’s expression was not good when he talked about his days in the Xin family.
“Miss, you know that I used to serve Eldest Young Master in his courtyard. Three months ago, all the servants in Eldest Young Master’s courtyard, except his nanny, were sold. Two of them were beaten to death. The reason was that they didn’t serve Eldest Young Master well and almost caused Eldest Young Master’s illness to act up and kill him.”
Gu Yundong nodded. He even ate Bai Muzi because of this. Hmph.
Xue Rong became slightly excited. “One of the two servants who were beaten to death is my younger sister.”
Gu Yundong raised his head and looked at him in surprise.
“However, no one in the residence knows that. My sister and I have acknowledged each other in private. It’s not easy to serve the Eldest Young Master in his courtyard. The Eldest Young Master is sick all year round and has a bad temper. My sister suffered a lot because of this. Although we worked in the Eldest Young Master’s courtyard, we couldn’t enter the inner room to serve him usually. The Eldest Young Master has a special guard to help him search…” He took a deep breath and said, “Search for children.”
Only the nanny could enter the inner room. That day, the nanny was not around because she had something on. The Eldest Young Master suddenly shouted in the inner room.
It was Xue Rong’s sister and another maidservant who ran in. In the end, they saw a girl lying on the ground with a pair of scissors in her hand. The scissors were stained with blood, and so was the Eldest Young Master’s neck.
The girl must have stabbed the young master, but the girl was also killed by the young master on the spot.
Xue Rong’s sister was scared to death at that time. She and the other maidservant were at a loss.
Only when the Eldest Young Master looked over fiercely did the two of them hurriedly stop the bleeding. The Eldest Young Master might have lost too much blood and fainted on the spot.
The other maidservant was afraid. After she and Xue Rong’s sister carried him to the bed, she said that she wanted to call a doctor and ran away on the spot.
