Chapter 15
When Gu Yuanzheng sat down, Mrs. Hu served another cup of hot tea and said in a trembling voice:
"It's my fault. I didn't take good care of Shufei, which caused the master to be in trouble."
"Even if I am not good in every way, I still ask you not to get angry because of me."
"Shu Fei, I will go to apologize. I am willing to do anything. I just hope that everything will be well for the master."
Putting down the tea cup, Gu Yuanzheng lost his temper and looked down at Mr. Hu who was kneeling in front of him and crying.
Hearing these gentle words again, even though she was still a little dissatisfied in her heart, the last trace of dissatisfaction disappeared when she thought of the person in front of her who was raising children for her and managing the affairs of the house.
Gu Yuanzheng raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of Hu's eyes, and then touched her hairpin. Hu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Knowing that he had gotten by today, he slowly leaned on Gu Yuanzheng's legs.
…
"Miss, these are all good things, how could Madam be willing to part with them..."
Cuiyan carefully touched the tables, chairs, beds, tea cups and vases that the maids had just put in the house.
"This is just the beginning."
Gu Shufei sneered and listened to Cui Yan's introduction.
The bed is made of mahogany and carved with exquisite patterns, and the porcelain is arranged in regular blue and white patterns.
Ancient books lie quietly on the bookcases, and exquisite screens with landscape paintings by famous artists.
This is how a young lady from the Gu family should be treated.
The former Gu Shufei is dead. The belated things cannot comfort the dead, but they can comfort the living.
Just keep your eyes open and watch how these people get the retribution they deserve one by one.
"Miss, what are the arrangements for the people sent by Madam?"
"Call in, let's have a look first."
Gu Shufei opened a book casually and felt the temperature of the paper with her hands.
Cuiyan divided the new servants into two groups and lined them up to greet Gu Shufei.
"Whatever your name was before, you still call me whatever you are called now. The only thing you need to know about entering my courtyard is that I will not tolerate anyone who betrays the Lord."
"Cui Yan, you are the maid, you can make arrangements as you see fit."
"yes."
Due to the arrangements made by De Cuiyan, two girls were brought in, and a few women were arranged to sweep outside the courtyard, so life became more stable.
Yanshi's medicine was also being used when no one was around, and his eyes could already see the light.
Gu Shufei knew that among this group of people there must be someone assigned by the Hu family, but she didn't expect that this person would show his weakness after only two days here.
All the slaves in the courtyard gathered around, and two maidservants were kneeling below Gu Shufei.
"Tell me, what happened? It happened in front of me."
Cuiyan knelt down, kowtowed repeatedly, and said with great grievance:
"Miss, this girl Fuliu's hands and feet are not clean. When my slave saw her stealing the lady's things, she framed her and beat her up, unjustly accusing my slave."
Fuliu? It seems that this must be someone from the Hu family.
"Shut up, you unruly girl, is it your turn to speak?"
Gu Shufei kept spinning the two walnuts in her palm while shouting harshly.
"Fu Liu, right? You tell me."
Fuliukou, who was kneeling down, said, "Young lady is wise. Originally, the slave was on duty at the courtyard gate today, but Sister Cuiyan asked the slave to guard the outer courtyard."
"The slave was suspicious of Sister Cuiyan, so she followed behind. Unexpectedly, she saw Sister Cuiyan moving the box that Miss Cuiyan had told no one to look at on weekdays, and then taking something out of the box."
"The next thing is to report it to the young lady. Why should Sister Cuiyan wrongly accuse this slave?
After all, the slave came from the madam's side, and her eyelids are not that shallow. "
Are you afraid that the people in this courtyard don’t know that you are from the Hu family? It's just the right time to take action on you today to see what other evil spirits the remaining monsters can do.
Gu Shufei chuckled lightly and ordered the woman beside her to get a basin of water. She also asked people to supervise each other and took out the wooden box that no one was allowed to touch in front of everyone.
"Want to know what's in this box?"
Everyone was silent and did not dare to speak. Gu Shufei smiled again and explained, "I remember I told you when you came to this courtyard that it is not terrible to make mistakes in this courtyard, but the only thing is that I cannot tolerate people who betray the Lord. "
"Cui Yan, Fuliu, you two are at odds with each other now. As the master, I will decide who is the thief."
The mother-in-law brought a basin of water, and Gu Shufei used something from the wooden box as a cover to take out the vitamin C powder that had been packaged long ago.
Spreading it into the basin in front of everyone, "I noticed there are brown marks on both of your hands. This brown is the color I painted the box with myself."
"The two of you now take turns putting your hands into the basin. If the brown trace disappears, you are the first person to have touched the box."
"Now you two stand in front of the basin and stretch out your hands."
After listening to Gu Shufei's instructions, Cuiyan immediately stood in front of the basin, while Fuliu slowly swallowed as if she had something to say.
Gu Shufei squinted her eyes and could vaguely see a figure. In fact, she knew who the thief was from the beginning.
But in order to show off, there must be this process of catching the thief.
"Miss, is your method reliable? What did you sprinkle just now?"
Fuliu hesitated for a long time before asking.
"Get her!"
Gu Shufei scolded sternly, and the servants and women around him seemed to have come to their senses and immediately rushed forward to restrain Fuliu.
"If a person who has been wronged has no time to question him, he will immediately have to clear himself of suspicion and clear his name. Who is like you?
Mrs. Li put her hand into the basin! "
As soon as she heard the order, Mrs. Li immediately grabbed Fuliu's hand and pressed it inside.
Fuliu couldn't struggle anymore, and cried out in mourning, "Miss, just spare me, I won't dare to do it anymore."
When everyone saw this, they all couldn't understand what was going on, and they all heard Gu Shufei become frustrated.
"Although I am blind, my heart is not blind. What is the use of keeping a person like you who betrays the Lord?"
"Granny Li, please take good care of her, and then call someone to sell her. I need to tell you in detail why she is being sold."
When Fuliu heard that it was all over, she was filled with resentment, "Why did you betray me? I am Madam's person!"
I want to see Madam!
I want to see Madam! "
"You still dare to slander Madam. The crime will be increased and you will be dragged down."
The slaves felt uneasy when they saw that she was ruthless and showed no mercy.
"Cui Yan, come here."
Gu Shufei stood up and Cuiyan immediately stepped forward to help her.
"Miss……"
Listening to the slightly crying voice next to her, Gu Shufei felt helpless, wondering why this girl loves to cry.
"It seems you are recovering from your illness and can still cry loudly."
"Miss, please don't make fun of me. It's only thanks to Miss that I have mercy on you that I can get better."
Gu Shufei patted Cui Yan's hand gently, seemed to remember something again and asked again: "Is your mother's side feeling better?"
