Chapter 197 n.o.ble Concubine
197 n.o.ble Concubine
“Let her go.”
This sentence was directed at the housekeeper. “Her” referred to Miss Liu.
The housekeeper looked hesitant and subconsciously looked at Murong Yong from the corner of her eye.
Gu Yunzhen did not care about the nanny’s expression at all. She looked straight at Miss Liu, who was an inch shorter than her, and asked calmly, “Who did you say you are?”
!!
Miss Liu knelt on the cold and hard ground below with a plop. A line of crystal clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered like b.u.t.terfly wings.
Her pupils, washed by tears, were misty.
She sobbed and said, “I’m willing to be a slave and serve you for the rest of my life. I won’t be disloyal!”
“Be a slave?” Gu Yunzhen’s voice was as calm as a calm lake. “No need.”
“I’m a guest. There’s no reason for me to bring someone else’s cousin back to be a servant.”
“If you have the heart to sell yourself, you can go to the broker.”
Her tone was as gentle as ever, with a graceful and refined bearing, but also a hint of high and mighty alienation.
“That’s not my intention.” Miss Liu seemed to have been slapped in the face again, and her face turned even paler.
Two more lines of tears slid from her eyes, and they turned even redder. She was as beautiful and delicate as white plums dancing in the air, and she could only let the cold wind blow against her.
Murong Yong did not say a word. His face was expressionless as he quietly looked at Gu Yunzhen and Miss Liu.
Gu Yanfei did not give the Murong family any face at all and directly chuckled.
Murong Hui walked over and helped Miss Liu up. When she looked at her, her eyes were filled with pity.
When her gaze met Gu Yunzhen’s, she was furious. She raised her voice in dissatisfaction and reprimanded, “Eldest Lady Gu, what nonsense are you talking about? When did my cousin say that she wanted to sell herself?”
“My cousin begged you hard. It’s fine if you don’t agree, but why do you have to humiliate my cousin so aggressively?!”
Miss Liu grabbed Murong Hui’s sleeve. Her cherry lips were bitten white, and her slender body was trembling.
Gu Yunzhen picked up a white plum that had fallen on the stone table and spun it casually. She suggested indifferently, “Since Miss Murong is so kind, just agree to your cousin’s request.”
Her smile was still gentle, and her eyes became more distant, as if the two of them could not be seen at all.
As a servant, she would serve her for life without any ulterior motives.
“Second Brother…” Murong Hui’s face turned red as she looked at Murong Yong for help.
She… She… Gu Yunzhen actually wanted her cousin to be her servant!
Ridiculous, this was ridiculous!!
Murong Hui’s mouth opened and closed. No matter how shrewish she was, she was still unmarried. There were some things that she really could not say.
Miss Liu also looked at Murong Yong with a delicate gaze, her eyes filled with hope and tenderness.
“Enough,” Murong Yong finally said.
It was unknown who he was talking to.
He waved at the housekeeper to take her away.
The housekeeper immediately understood and summoned two burly old women. The two old women whispered, “Excuse me,” and nimbly restrained Miss Liu.
“Yong Lang…” Miss Liu called out to Murong Yong with teary eyes, filled with pain. Her expressive eyes seemed to be saying, “Yong Lang, why are you so heartless?”
However, she did not have a chance to finish her sentence. The old woman quickly covered her mouth and pulled her away almost rudely.
The entire process happened in the blink of an eye. The outside of the pavilion became empty. Only Murong Hui stomped her feet unwillingly and unhappily.
There was silence in the pavilion for a moment, until the man’s laughter cut through the air.
“Eldest Lady Gu.” Murong Yong smiled. His gaze landed on Gu Yunzhen’s face and he said seriously, “She’s just a cousin, not a n.o.ble concubine.”
His tone was solemn, as if he was promising something.
“Young Master, you don’t have to tell me that.” Gu Yunzhen revealed a gentle smile that did not reach her eyes. She said calmly, “I can’t make the decision regarding marriage.”
“However, as long as I’m not married, I’m still a delicate guest in your residence.”
“To let your cousin talk nonsense in front of guests, your family’s style is obvious.”
“I’m afraid I’ll have to part company with you.”
Gu Yunzhen did not give Murong Yong a chance to speak at all. She turned around and called Gu Yanfei over. “Yanfei, let’s go.”
She waved her hand and flicked her sleeve, leaving the white plum behind. She left without looking back.
Gu Yanfei followed silently with a smile.
The white plum that Gu Yunzhen casually threw down fluttered down like a feather and happened to be blown to the spot where Miss Liu had knelt.
Murong Yong did not force the two of them to stay. He only gestured again, and two maidservants left with Gu Yunzhen and Gu Yanfei.
He watched the sisters’ retreating backs and said nothing for a long time. His eyes were dark and unreadable, as if he was weighing and thinking about something.
The biting wind blew past, strong and powerful, sending ripples across the cold lake again and disturbing it.
“Second Brother, look at her…” Murong Hui suddenly stood up from her chair. She was so angry that her breath stuck in her chest. She could not help but stomp her feet a few times.
Murong Yong only gave Murong Hui a sideways glance, and Murong Hui fell silent like a mute.
Murong Yong’s eyes turned as cold as a cold swamp and he asked coldly, “Who released her?”
The housekeeper replied slowly, “I don’t know either… Second Young Master, I’ll order someone to investigate now…”
She also knew that the Gu family’s delicate guest was here today, so she had not dared to let her cousin out. She did not know what had gone wrong.
“Give punishment where it’s due,” Murong Yong spat out four more words lightly.
...
The housekeeper obeyed and acutely understood what her master meant.
If they couldn’t find out the truth, they would be the ones to be punished!
The housekeeper left. A maidservant who had just left behind Gu Yanfei and the others hurried over.
“Second Young Master,” the maidservant reported breathlessly, not daring to meet Murong Yong’s sharp eyes. “Eldest Miss Gu and Second Miss Gu went to the gate…”
Her shaky voice faded into the cold wind.
Before Murong Yong could speak, Murong Hui’s sharp voice had already blurted out. She was about to overturn the roof of the pavilion. “What?! These two ladies are really unruly.”
Murong Hui’s expression turned even uglier.
Gu Yunzhen’s actions were equivalent to slapping the Murong family mercilessly!
