2241 Chapter 2240-don’t believe
Que ‘er knelt on the ground, her hands supporting her body as she trembled. “This servant, this servant knows. When I first went to a certain time last summer, this servant was helping you take a bath and found the wounds on your body. This servant then asked you. It’s just, it’s just Yingluo.”
Que ‘er raised her head and looked at Gu Xin timidly. She was a little scared and did not know what to say.
just say it, ” Gu Xin said gently. no one here will do anything to you.
After speaking, Gu Xin glanced at Madam Yun and second Madam Feng.
After que ‘er heard Gu Xin’s words, she calmed down a little and said, ” “That time, this servant was beaten by young lady. Young lady used a whip, Wuwu.”
“Impossible!” Second Madam Feng interrupted que ‘er’s words and denied without hesitation. although Jinshu has been raised to be unruly and arrogant, she has never used something like a whip. Our Feng family is a family of poetry, books, and etiquette. No one would use a lady who is said to be an unmarried woman, not even a son. You lowly hussy, do you think that you can speak nonsense just because the letter is gone?”
“Second taitai, this servant is not speaking nonsense. What this servant said is true. Young lady really knows how to use a whip.” Que ‘er retorted.
Second Madam Feng wanted to hit someone but was stopped by Gu Xin, ” second mistress, calm down. Let que ‘er finish.
Yun-Shi also pulled on second taitai and dissuaded,”Second sister-in-law, please calm down. Let the princess finish her questions.”
Que ‘er’s body shivered as she looked at Gu Xin. She was afraid and did not dare to continue.
But when she saw Gu Xin’s sharp gaze, she did not dare to say anything.
Therefore, he said with a trembling voice,”there’s a whip hidden in the lady’s room.” Every time she was unhappy or had new injuries, she would use the whip to hit the servant. She requested that this servant was not to tell anyone, not even this servant’s sister Ying ‘er. This servant has never told anyone. Perhaps without this incident, if the wounds on young lady’s body were not discovered, this servant would never have said it in this life. Second taitai and first taitai, please believe this servant.”
Gu Xin rushed to ask before Madam Yun and second Madam Feng could speak, ” “Miss Feng San was injured. As her personal maidservant, you should know. Did miss Feng San usually go out alone? You won’t bring any of your maids?”
“No,” que ‘er shook her head. Other than sleeping at night when young lady does not allow the servants to sleep in her side room, young lady is not alone at any other time.”
Gu Xin turned to look at Madam Yun,’Lady Feng, how’s your family’s security? If someone sneaks into your mansion at night, will your guards be able to notice?”
Madam Yun was stunned, and then said with some shame, ” “The guards in the house were all promoted from servants, and all of them are under the charge of Butler li. Caretaker li was the commander of the guards in the family. He had come from the battlefield and was responsible for training the guards. He had a dog at home. Logically speaking, if someone broke into the mansion at night, the dog would definitely find out. However, in the past few years, there had never been a case of a thief breaking into the house. Caretaker li is quite capable.”
Butler li? ” Gu Xin furrowed her brows, ” how old is Butler li? ”
Madam Yun said, ” housekeeper li should be in his 30S. He joined the Army at the age of 15. When he was 20, his parents died in an accident. Our old master once received kindness from his parents, so he let him come to our house to be the head of the guards. At that time, he just finished his five years of service.”
