“Bring her in. The rules of the Beiming Family cannot be broken…” Butler Luode was all business, leaving no room for negotiation.
“Wait a moment. This has nothing to do with her. I was the one who bumped into her and caused her to spill the water. If you want to punish someone, punish me. Don’t fire her.”
Gu Qingxin stood up, treating the matter with utmost seriousness. It was indeed her fault and the maid was innocently dragged into the situation. She wouldn’t let anyone else bear the consequences of her own mistake.
“Miss Gu must be joking. You are the young master’s woman. How dare 1 punish you?” Luode’s tone still remained calm, but he didn’t even glance at her.
His words stated that he dared not, but his attitude showed no respect…
“What are you all still doing here!”
The voice of Beiming Han came, though not loud, it dripped with an oppressive aura which made everyone involuntarily bow their heads.
“Young Master…” Butler Luode greeted him respectfully.
“Luode, have you grown senile? You know she’s mine, yet dare to cause a ruckus here. Who gave you such audacity? Huh?” Beiming Han looked at him coldly, the raised tone of his voice mirroring his simmering anger.
“This servant dares not!” The butler’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat. Over the years, he had been managing all the domestic affairs of the North Garden, and Beiming Han had never interfered until now. This was the first time he had lost his temper.
“If this happens again, roll out of North Garden!” Beiming Han grabbed Gu Qingxin’s wrist and walked towards the dining room.
His words made Butler Luode shudder involuntarily. Over the past few years, his young master’s temper had become increasingly unpredictable. Beiming Han rarely interacted with him, but whenever he did, it sent chills down his spine, inducing fear from the depths of his heart…
Gu Qingxin looked back worriedly at the innocent maid she caused trouble upon. She wondered if the maid would still be fired.
“Young Master, the incident just now was my fault. Can you speak to Butler Luode and ask him not to fire the maid?”
“You’re still fit to plead on behalf of others while you’re in trouble yourself!” Beiming Han’s strides were so large that Gu Qingxin struggled to keep up, almost stumbling in the process.
This little girl was so naive. She was his woman, if she simply mentioned his name, Luode would not dare to lay a finger on her. Yet, she foolishly stood there, trying to reason with him!
Luode was such a stickler for rules, respecting them as if they were his faith. Unless you used authoritative power to suppress him, reasoning with him would be as futile as playing the piano to a cow.
“That’s not fair. The maid is innocent. She was implicated by me for no reason. If she really loses her job because of me, I would feel terribly guilty.”
“That is your problem!”
Gu Qingxin,”…”
1 can’t expect him to show a shred of kindness, can l!
After breakfast, Aunt Zhou carried a bowl of medicine soup which she placed in front of Gu Qingxin, saying, “Miss, this is contraceptive soup…”
The moment Gu Qingxin heard these words, her face flushed crimson. She kept her head down, too embarrassed to raise it. Such things were especially sensitive to her due to her young age…
She had just taken the soup yesterday afternoon, and last night, he had had his way with her once more. If things continued at this rate, she wouldn’t be able to live without this medicine.
No one knew that Gu Qingxin actually hated taking medicine. She picked up the bowl and tried to gulp it down in one go, as she did previously. However, she barely took one sip before the bitterness of it made her want to vomit it up…
So bitter!
“Aunt Zhou, are you sure this is the same contraceptive soup as before?” Gu Qingxin’s little face was scrunched up as though she had eaten a sour bun.
“Yes, it’s the same.”
Aunt Zhou spoke with a firm voice, albeit the young master had instructed her to add bitter gourd into the soup….
