Hearing this, Young Master Qi glanced at the young man. Before he could speak, Fenxiang cried and said, "Sir, I also have the deed given by my wife. Everything is clearly stated on it."
Fenxiang took out the contract and handed it to Young Master Qi to read. Then she raised her hand and swore to the sky, "If this slave tells a single word of lie, I will be struck by lightning and die."
Young Master Qi glanced briefly and knew that Fenxiang was not lying. He put away the deed and asked, "Since you have left the house, why did you come to Gu's house to kneel?"
"Going back to the young master, I have been out of the house for many days. I originally thought that I would never interact with the Gu family again, but today I had to go to the pharmacy to get some medicine. When the Gu family saw me, I beat me up. She also threatened me and said I would see you later. The slave will hit the slave once at a time, and if the slave dares to run away, the slave will be killed."
"Master, the injuries on my body were all from the beatings I received today. I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I came to the Gu family to plead for mercy and beg them to spare my life. I promise that I will never show up in front of the Gu family in this life, nor will I It will be an eyesore to them.”
As Fenxiang said, she knelt down and kowtowed in front of Young Master Qi.
Young Master Qi stopped her and said in a deep voice, "Since you are no longer a servant of the Gu family, no one in the Gu family has the right to beat or scold you anymore, and you don't need to beg them here."
"Go report it to the officials. They will definitely pay the price for hurting people for no reason."
Fenxiang shook his head, "I don't dare. Master Gu is the official of the imperial court. He wants to kill this slave as easily as crushing an ant."
Young Master Qi glanced at the boy next to him and saw that the boy was staring at Fenxiang with fierce eyes, so he called Fenxiang up.
"You go to the Yamen with me. If you tell the truth, I will naturally protect you. If you tell lies and deliberately frame the Gu family, your life will be returned to the Gu family."
Fenxiang cried and nodded, "This slave swears to God that if I tell lies, I will leave my body lying on the streets and remain a prostitute forever."
Young Master Qi didn't waste any time and asked Fenxiang to go back to Qi's house with him, and report to the official after dawn.
The boy watched Fenxiang enter Qi's house, and waited at the door for a while before going in to report.
The boy first went to Liu Ruyan's place to look for Gu Qiheng, but Liu Ruyan was busy taking care of Gu Chengxuan, and there was no trace of Gu Qiheng in the room.
Liu Ruyan asked the young man what was going on, and then let him go.
Later, Liu Ruyan called Ling'er to question, and Ling'er said angrily, "That bitch like Fenxiang deliberately showed off her good life in front of the slave. The slave couldn't stand her frivolous look, so she beat her twice. A slap in the face and nothing else."
Liu Ruyan's eyes were as sharp as fire, "Just two slaps? That girl Fenxiang is covered in blood, how can two slaps be like that?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Ling'er added, "The slave pushed her again. She hit the steps and injured her legs and arms. It has nothing to do with the slave."
"You put it lightly."
Liu Ruyan snorted coldly, "Now someone is suing you at the door of Gu's house."
"How dare this damn girl come here? Let's see if I don't skin her."
Ling'er rolled up her sleeves and was about to go out, but was stopped by Liu Ruyan, "You are cleaning up Fenxiang in the name of Xuan'er. Now people have arrived at Qi's house. You have to report to the official early tomorrow morning."
Ling'er was dumbfounded, "It was just a slight beating. What kind of official should I report to?"
Even the maids of wealthy families have lost their lives. Who has reported it to the official?
"Yu Jinxi released her, she is now a commoner, and you beat her up for no reason, why don't she report her to the government?"
Liu Ruyan stared at Ling'er and said through gritted teeth, "Repeat what happened with Fenxiang today word for word. If you dare to make any omissions or deceives, I will beat you to death right now."
Ling'er was frightened, fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, and told everything that happened today.
After Liu Ruyan heard this, she slapped Ling'er hard twice, "It turns out that you, the little bitch, used my banner to pretend to be powerful and create such a big disaster."
Ling'er cried and begged for mercy, even saying that she would never dare to do it again.
Liu Ruyan was not stupid either. Although Ling'er was at fault, Ling'er's encounter with Fenxiang was definitely not a coincidence.
Yu Jinxi, this vicious woman, had planned all of this.
If this matter becomes a big deal, if the Gu family's affairs cannot be concealed, it will definitely be publicized all over the capital. By then she will be notorious, and Gu Qiheng's future may also be affected.
No, we can't let Fenxiang report to the official.
Liu Ruyan raised her feet to look for Gu Qiheng, but unexpectedly, Gu Qiheng had already hurried over before she walked out of the house.
"Hengro..."
"Snapped!"
Liu Ruyan called out softly, but was met with a solid slap.
Liu Ruyan ignored her anger and pushed Ling'er out first, enduring the pain and closing the door.
"Liu Ruyan, if you kill me, what good will it do to you? If I die, your glory and wealth will be over. Do you understand?"
Facing the furious Gu Qiheng, Liu Ruyan did not show any strength, and knelt down in front of Gu Qiheng in tears, "Henglang, it was me who failed to discipline Ling'er, but what happened has already happened. We must find a way to stop it instead of blaming each other. "
"Yu Jinxi has planned everything. If we are suspicious of each other, she will be proud of it."
Gu Qiheng said angrily, "Stop it? How to stop it? Everyone has entered Qi's house, do you want me to rush into Qi's house and rob people?"
"Henglang, you and Mr. Qi are officials in the court. If you don't look up and see each other, you come to the door in person. No matter what, Mr. Qi will give you some thin noodles. When the time comes, you will say that it is a matter of jealousy between the maids. Master Gu's family Don’t know anything.”
Liu Ruyan said, "If that girl Fenxiang is held accountable, take Ling'er to make amends with her. Even though Mr. Qi has a high and powerful position, he can't really become your mortal enemy because of a girl."
"If Mr. Qi doesn't believe it, just say... about Xuan'er."
Gu Qiheng asked with a puzzled look, "What does this matter have to do with Xuan'er?"
Liu Ruyan looked at Gu Qiheng and said with tears in her eyes, "You said something happened to Xuan'er. You have been busy asking for a doctor these days. You really don't know what happened outside."
"You must mention it in front of Mr. Qi. Mrs. Qi proposed to let Xuan'er go hunting in the winter to gain experience. No matter what, you must make Mr. Qi believe that Xuan'er was injured because Yu Jinxi had selfish motives and did not want him to go to the winter hunting. It’s about hunting.”
Gu Qiheng was shocked, "How can you say this? If you tell me, Xuan'er will be ruined for life."
Liu Ruyan shouted, "It's already ruined, are you afraid of getting worse? You only need to tell Mr. Qi that the family scandal should not be made public. You can only tell him about this matter, and then take the opportunity to bring Fenxiang back home."
"As long as Fenxiang meets the official, she will definitely reveal everything about the Gu family. Yu Jinxi has been waiting for this moment. As long as there is some news, she will kill you and me. Fenxiang has passed the Qi family's door, then Yu Jinxi We have to go through the Qi family to get Xuan'er injured, so that we have a chance of winning."
Liu Ruyan said sternly, "You said you acted carefully, but I'm afraid she already knows that Xuan'er is your son."
Gu Qiheng was shocked when he heard this, "How is this possible? I have always hidden it well, there is no way she will know."
