Seeing that the maid refused to kneel down, Gu Jingxing said angrily: "Are you deaf? How dare you not listen to my words!"
"Kneel down yet!" After Gu Jingxing said that, Gu Ming stepped forward and slapped the maid on the face. Although Gu Ming didn't look big, he was very powerful and slapped her in one go. Fall to the ground.
The maid covered her face with one hand and shouted loudly with red eyes, "Young master is too unreasonable. Even if this slave is at fault, it should be the eldest daughter's punishment. It's no one else's turn."
When Gu Jingxing heard that she dared to talk back to the sullen servant, he pointed at her and said to Gu Ming beside him: "Hit me. I want to see if you dare to gossip again."
Without saying a word, Gu Ming kicked him over and punched and kicked the maid who was lying on the ground. The maid held her head and rolled on the ground, screaming incessantly.
The other maid who was there just now left unknown when. It was not that there were no maids passing by in the distance, but they all avoided it after seeing Gu Jingxing.
This young master is now the old lady's pet peeve, but he just wants to teach the maid a lesson. No one will take the initiative to make him angry. It must be said that the maid has no eyesight.
But the scream was really too sad, and the people who heard it were terrified. Gu Ming was probably worried about attracting people, so he grabbed her hair and lifted her up. He covered her mouth and whispered: "What's your name? Are you afraid that others won't know that our young master is here? Still want to call her?" I advise you to give up, not to mention that the eldest girl is not here, so what if she is here, is it possible for you to scold the eldest young master for something like you? "
The maid was so frightened by the beating that she cried and shook her head violently. Her face was bruised and swollen, with tears and mucus mixed with blood. She looked very scary.
As evening approaches, there is a cool breeze blowing outside the house. A white peony is inserted sideways in the narrow-necked pink beauty vase on the window sill, and its petals sway with the breeze.
There was silence in the house, with the faint fragrance of ink wafting out.
Beside the book desk, Gu Mingmou put down the pen in his hand a little tiredly, picked up the large letter he had just written, looked at it, and put it aside.
Although it is a virtue for a woman to have no talent, the Gu family can be considered a scholarly family. Her literary talent is not that great, but she is literate.
of.
She practiced calligraphy just to meditate, but the calligraphy was not really beautiful. In the past, her father commented that she had no character. She tried hard for a while, but later she found that no matter how hard she tried, her father just took it for granted, and Gu When Mingyue made a little progress, her father would be overjoyed, and she no longer had that thought.
I don't know why lately, I always think about things in my previous life, probably because the time of my mother's death is getting closer and closer, and I feel uneasy.
Although her mother seemed fine, she could never settle down.
At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside. After a while, Xiuyue hurriedly walked in, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She didn't bother to wipe the sweat, and said to Gu Mingmou with an ugly face: "Girl, problem occurs."
"What's the matter? Tell me?" Gu Mingmou folded his sleeves with his hands, looked down at his ink-stained fingertips, and asked in a calm tone.
"The eldest young master's servant beat Hongxing, the third-class maid in our yard. I went to see her just now. There was no good spot on Hongxing's body, and her hand was trampled to pieces."
"What's the reason?" Gu Mingmou's expression did not change after hearing her description, as if he was unmoved.
Xiuyue continued: "I heard that the eldest young master overheard Hongxing and the maid from the same village chatting, and they probably said something bad about Aunt Zhang. The eldest young master was furious for a while... "
Seeing Hongxing's tragic situation, Xiuyue was angry, but she always kept her identity in mind and did not dare to reveal her emotions at all.
"Go and see her first." Gu Mingmou stood up and went to the servant's room with Xiuyue.
At this moment, Hongxing has been placed in the hospital. Since she suffered a flesh injury and there was no doctor to see her, she looked very scary at first glance.
When she saw Gu Mingmou coming over, she burst into tears. While crying, she said, "Please make the decision, girl. Please make the decision for me, this slave."
The maids who came with her all showed signs of sympathy. Gu Mingmou remained motionless, but looked at her coldly and asked, "Have you ever discussed Aunt Zhang with anyone in private?"
"Girl..." The maid probably knew that she was wrong, but she always held on to the illusion that Gu Mingmou might want to be tolerant of her in her current miserable state. Unfortunately, her current master had already become cold.
Heartbroken.
Hongxing just cried, Xiuyue looked impatient and scolded: "Why are you crying? The girl didn't answer quickly when she asked."
After Xiuye left, all the maids in the yard listened to her arrangements. Hongxing didn't dare to cry when she opened her mouth. She could only tell the situation at that time without hiding anything.
After Gu Mingmou heard what happened, she didn't say anything. She didn't even punish Hongxing. She just sent for a doctor to prescribe some gold sore medicine for her.
After leaving the servant's room, Gu Mingmou turned around and told Xiuyue to go out and inquire. It didn't take long for Xiuyue to come back. This matter had already spread among the servants in the mansion, so it didn’t take much effort to find out. The matter was not very different from what Hongxing said, but Xiuyue understood it more carefully, and many Hongxing did not notice it. She also reported the details to Gu Mingmou.
After returning home, Xiuyue stood still in front of Gu Mingmou and reported everything in detail. The matter was not complicated at all. Hongxing made the mistake first, and Gu Jingxing's little brawler followed. But the maid who was caught together with Hongxing was ignored by everyone.
As the eldest girl said before, there are no coincidences in this world. Too many coincidences are conspiracies.
The maid who was not punished, and the young boy Gu Ming who knew that Hongxing was a big girl but still beat and kicked her. It's okay to say that Gu Jingxing is young and doesn't know the rules just after returning home, but Gu Ming's uncle is the steward of the master. Even if the people in the eldest girl's yard make big mistakes, they have to go to the eldest girl first. How can he Dare to take action
Or maybe he actually did it on purpose, just to completely break up the relationship between the eldest girl and the eldest young master
After finishing what she had learned from the inquiry, Xiuyue hesitated for a moment and then added some of her guesses. Gu Mingmou glanced at Xiuyue and did not deny her statement.
"Go to Mingxuan Pavilion and invite the young master here."
Xiuyue did go to Mingxuan Pavilion. After hearing what she said, Gu Jingxing didn't ask any questions and just took Gu Ming and followed her back.
In fact, after beating the person, he began to feel uneasy. Although he was just a maid, and it was the other person who was wrong, his person struck first and beat the person like that. Even though Gu Ming repeatedly said that nothing would happen, he still felt uneasy, but now that Gu Mingmou sent someone over, he was relieved.
