215 Raising a Tiger Invites Disaster
Gu Xiaosan saw the thugs striding over with a bucket of ice-cold water in their hands. He was so frightened that the hair on his back started to tremble. He cried out in panic, “No! Don’t! I’ll tell you. I’m willing to tell you everything!”
“Unfortunately, I’m not interested,” Gu Qingxue said indifferently as she sat on her seat.
Gu Xiaosan was completely terrified. “Lady Gu, Lady Gu, I know I’m wrong! I’ll tell you everything! My fifth uncle called me here. My fifth uncle is Gu Yi! He called me here to secretly learn from Lady Gu’s abilities so that I can take your place in the future! I was just reckless for a moment. Please forgive me, Lady Gu!”
“You’re actually a member of the Gu family?” Huang Rongfa asked Gu Xiaosan in surprise.
Gu Xiaosan looked sad, he nodded in resignation. “Yes… I’m a distant relative of the Gu family. I studied medicine in primary school and was originally a doctor in the village. In the end, my fifth uncle suddenly came to me and asked me to help him with his work, so I came. I waited for a few days before the Eldest Miss finally came here to provide medical services.”
He had waited bitterly for a few days, but he did not expect to be discovered by Gu Qingxue the moment he arrived.
Gu Xiaosan stole a glance at Gu Qingxue. He could not understand why her senses were so sharp.
Gu Qingxue curled the corners of her lips into a half-smile. Her cold gaze swept across Gu Xiaosan. “Go back and tell Gu Yi to come to find me personally if he has anything to say. If there’s a next time, I will not be polite to him.”
Huang Rongfa gave the thugs a look.
The thugs untied Gu Xiaosan, then dragged him and threw him out the back door.
Huang Rongfa looked at Gu Qingxue curiously and asked, “Lady Gu, are you going to let Gu Yi off just like that? Don’t blame me for speaking harshly. Raising a tiger brings disaster. According to Gu Yi’s character, this matter won’t end so easily.”
“Don’t worry, Shopkeeper Huang. I know what Gu Yi is trying to do. If he wants to trick me, then he has chosen the wrong person,” Gu Qingxue curled her lips into a smile.
Putting aside Gu Xiaosan for the time being, she knew very well that Gu Yi was not the key to the problem. They were only working for someone else. The person who was hiding in the dark and really wanted to know her movements was most likely the Eldest Madam.
Since she had left Jing City, she planned to live her little life.
However, she could not resist the Eldest Madam who kept forcing her.
Although she did not have any schemes, others would still scheme against her. If the Eldest Madam continued to force her, she would not mind pestering them to the end.
Huang Rongfa saw the deep meaning in Gu Qingxue’s face, he put his worried heart back into his stomach. “It’s good that Lady Gu understands. I won’t say anything else. I’ll be even more careful next. I promise that what happened today will not happen again. Lady Gu, you should go back and rest earlier today.”
Gu Qingxue did not reject Huang Rongfa’s good intentions. She returned to Dafu village early after having lunch.
Before Gu Qingxue returned to the courtyard house, she saw a huge horse carriage parked in front of her house from afar.
Gu Qingxue immediately realized that this horse carriage looked familiar. This was the horse carriage that Rong Han took in her dream, right?
Gu Qingxue’s heart was filled with anticipation. She quickened her pace and entered the door.
The laughter of the four children echoed in the air. Rong Han and the three children were standing together, playing a game of jumping rubber bands. They were extremely happy.
At the same time, Gu Qingxue also saw the handsome man wearing a snow-white cloak standing in the courtyard.
Rong Zhan stood not far away, his deep eyes reflecting the four children’s joyful playing.
As if sensing something, Rong Zhan turned his head to look at Gu Qingxue.
