"Aren't servants human beings?" Gu Changsheng raised his head and asked, staring at Han Yuqing with cold eyes. The Gu family never punished servants easily. His mother's sudden rage today must have been instigated by someone.
Han Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Third cousin, you are so kind."
"No, this is not kindness. All beings are equal. The same sun shines on the palace as well as the thatched cottage. We are just lucky to be born into a rich family as masters. It is too rude to beat and scold the servants at every turn. Who is not born by parents? Miss Han, can you punish the servants at will?"
Gu Changsheng recovered after taking the medicine. Although his voice was not loud enough, his tone was stern enough and Han Yuqing was speechless after hearing his questions.
The servants in the room were all moved by Gu Changsheng's words: After being slaves for so many years, this was the first time their master stood on their side and spoke for them!
"Sure enough, Miss Han is still as arrogant as she was when she was a child, and looks down on people of lower status than herself." Gu Changsheng concluded with a sneer.
Han Yuqing's face quickly turned pale: "Third cousin, what do you mean?"
"Don't talk about appearance in front of an ugly person, don't say stupid things in front of a fool, this is the basic etiquette of being a human being, didn't the Han family teach you?" Han Yuqing took two steps back and suddenly realized. He remembered, he always remembered!
Everything she said and did, how she had ridiculed him, teased him, and looked down on him... He remembered it all!
No wonder he treated her so coldly and embarrassed her in public several times. So, so... Han Yuqing's eyes went dark and she could hardly stand.
Xing'er quickly supported her.
Madam Gu didn't understand what they were talking about, and she didn't want to find out more. At the moment, she was only concerned about her son's health and said, "Changsheng, take a rest. Don't get angry anymore. Doctor Tong is really something. Why hasn't he come yet?"
Just then, a servant came to report: "Madam, Doctor Tong is here."
"Please come in." Mrs. Gu hurriedly stood up and made room for him, and Han Yuqing also moved aside.
Doctor Tong came hurriedly with a medical box on his back, and smiled when he saw Gu Changsheng: "The Third Young Master is awake?"
"Yeah." Gu Changsheng stretched out his wrist consciously.
Doctor Tong felt his pulse and said, "It's nothing serious. He was just too angry and his anger got to his heart. Madam, the Third Young Master is in a delicate state. Don't let him get angry again."
"Yes, yes, yes." Mrs. Gu responded repeatedly.
"It's nothing serious. Take medicine every day and take more medicinal baths. After the winter, your body will be stronger." Doctor Tong just gave some instructions and left without even prescribing any medicine.
Madam Gu asked, "Doctor Tong, don't you need to prescribe medicine?"
"Not for now. The Third Young Master has all the medicine here. I'll send more when they are almost used up. Madam, don't worry. Although I don't come to your house often, I always think about the Third Young Master and will never let him run short of medicine." Doctor Tong said.
"Okay, Qingtong, please see Doctor Tong off." Mrs. Gu gratefully stuffed some change into Doctor Tong's pocket.
Doctor Tong didn't hesitate to take the money and left the house with Qingtong.
Gu Changsheng glanced at Han Yuqing with cold eyes: "Why don't you leave?"
Han Yuqing was so embarrassed that she was about to cry, and tears kept welling up in her eyes.
Mrs. Gu loved her son more after all. After weighing the pros and cons, she said to Han Yuqing, "Yuqing, you go back first."
"Yes." Han Yuqing bowed and hurried away with his maid.
