TSBFL Chapter 103
Chapter 103.3: 丫鬟 [Maid]
As soon as he saw that the situation is not right, as if he made a common mistake, it’s already enough to sell her out yet why do they still have to make this maid mute? There must be some big secrets that are only known by this maid, now selling her yet still want to do so, they must be afraid that she would leak things out.
So, he sneaked behind the servant woman who came to take away the person, and found an opportunity to knock the woman out, and brought this maid out, because he did not know how to arrange the place for this maid, thinking of Qiu Jiu’s original entrusy or order, he brought the person directly to the Gu residence.
After Gu Lang finished listening, his expression was calm, no reaction at all.
On the contrary, it was Chen Xing who nodded along with him, thinking that this part of the experience was just a strange and twisted one, and it sounded very exciting.
Gu Lang took out his own money pouch from his sleeve, took out a silver ingot from it, handed it to the man, and instructed in a low voice: “Tough for you, leave the rest to us, just pretend that you have never touched this matter.”
After that man left with the silver money given by Gu Lang, Gu Lang then looked at Chen Xing who was frowning beside him, and softly comforted, “Don’t worry, when this maid wakes up, we will be able to figure out what happened.”
Hearing Gu Lang’s words, Chen Xing shook his head and calmly said, “I’m not worried, I just don’t quite understand why he could be so cruel.”
As Gu Lang listened to Chen Xing’s question, his eyes flickered slightly for a few moments, but in the end, he did not say anything more. How should he explain to Chen Xing, in some people’s eyes, human life is like a piece of grass (mere nothing; trash), the loss of an incompetent maid would not be as important to them as the loss of a piece of satisfying clothing.
Gu Lang did not respond, Chen Xing who was worried also did not notice, his mind is now all on actually what this maid knows, so she treated like this.
The good thing is that although the maid’s condition looked serious, her life force is hard to defeat. Less than two days of effort, she already woke up.
At first, when she was awake, the maid was still a little bit panicked. She was very resistant to everything around her, until the doctor who took care of her told her that it was Chen Xing and the others who saved her, only then did she panic and climb up, she wanted to kowtow to them.
Seeing this maid’s action, Chen Xing hastily held her, somewhat can’t bear to say: “Treat me like this. I didn’t do it on purpose, but Miss said that if I didn’t do it, she would sell me out, so I had to go with her. Who knows, Young Miss will do this to me.”
Chen Xing’s mind ‘buzzed’, although all his suspicions became true, he still did not dare to believe it, he turned his head to look at Gu Lang, who had been standing beside him, wanting to listen to his opinion.
Gu Lang raised his eyes to meet Chen Xing’s enquiring (seek for opinion) gaze, glanced quickly at the terrified maid, and then met Chen Xing’s clear eyes, gently hooked his lips, and said in a warm voice, “Now, since we already have witnesses, it’s time for us to seek justice for ourselves.”
