Chapter 121 The pregnancy period is more than a month earlier than Gu Shi knew
This was the tone she used before asking her servants to do something.
Invisibly, several people seemed to be entangled by poisonous snakes and immediately kowtowed like crazy, "Miss, we are wrong, please forgive us, Miss?"
"Spare you?"
Yu Yuexi sneered, "Okay, it depends on your performance."
As she spoke, she pointed at one of the maids and ordered arrogantly, "You, go find some needle and thread."
Xiao Hong felt something was wrong when she heard it, "What does Miss need needlework for?"
"You're such a gossiphead! This mouth of yours needs to be sewn shut."
According to Yu Yuexi's personality, once the needle and thread come, she will really start sewing.
The little maidservant didn't dare to go, so she kowtowed on the ground with the other two maidservants and admitted her fault. "Miss, I am wrong. I really know I am wrong. Please have mercy on me."
The little maidservant who was pointed at by Yu Yuexi just now even had her head broken, and tears mixed with blood dripped onto her clothes and onto the ground.
There was a bloodthirsty glimmer of excitement in Yu Yuexi's eyes.
Bending down, he reached out and pinched the little maid's chin. "If you gossip, you should be prepared to be discovered. I'm being merciful by not beating you to death. Don't be ungrateful."
"Miss, I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please have mercy on me."
The more the little maid begged for mercy, the more excited Yu Yuexi's eyes became.
"I think you have a good tongue. I really want to see if your tongue is different from ours..."
As soon as she finished speaking, before the little maid could even beg for mercy, a foul odor hit her nose.
Yu Yuexi frowned in disgust and looked in the direction where the stench came from.
The other little maid kneeling beside her seemed to be frightened and stunned. Her face was pale, her eyes were lifeless, and there was a puddle of water under her body...
"Unlucky things..."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Shi's voice came from behind her.
"What's all the fuss?"
Yu Yuexi's face, which had been ferocious just a moment ago, suddenly returned to a simple and harmless look.
She quickly released her hands that were clamped on the little maid's face, turned around and saw Gu Shi coming back with Wang Ying. She walked up to Gu Shi with surprise and grievance.
"Uncle Gu, Yueyue didn't expect you to come back."
Gu Shi glanced at Yu Yuexi.
Just now he clearly heard the little girl's vicious words about sewing the servant's mouth shut, but the little girl in front of him had pure eyes and a bright but cautious smile.
Gu Shi couldn't help but start to wonder if he had just been hallucinating.
The stench filled his nose, disrupting his thoughts.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in dissatisfaction, "Where is the housekeeper? Why is there such a smell in the yard?"
Mrs. Xin came over upon hearing the noise, holding the powder bandage left over from when the little medicine boy had bandaged Yu Yuexi's wound.
"Your Majesty."
Xiaohong received a warning from Yu Yuexi's eyes and immediately knelt on the ground.
"My lord, blame this servant for not being careful or respectful.
These little maids are so ignorant of the world, gossiping about their master behind her back. I just wanted to teach them a lesson, but after just a few words, they kept begging for mercy and even disturbed the young lady...”
Gu Shi frowned slightly.
There were quite a few servants in his yard.
But no servant had ever looked so terrified when being scolded.
In a blink of an eye, he saw that almost all the servants of Luoxia Garden had come and knelt down after hearing the news. He glanced at Yu Yuexi who was looking at him with admiration on her face, and Gu Shi felt upset.
He only said one sentence, "Although the Rongjunwang Mansion is strict, it is not unkind. I have scolded you, and I know I am wrong, so let it go."
"My daughter thinks so too." Yu Yuexi looked at the maids with a look of pity, "Xiaohong is indeed a bit strict."
Xiao Hong kowtowed again, "It is my fault, please forgive me, young lady."
Yu Yuexi waved her hand and said, "Forget it this time. Everyone, leave."
Several maids, including Xiaohong, retreated as if they had been pardoned.
Yu Yuexi looked at Gu Shi with hope in her eyes, and seemed very happy about Gu Shi's sudden arrival.
"Uncle Gu, do you want to talk to Yueyue about something?"
"You kid, you're still being stubborn with your daddy." His arm tightened, and Gu Shi could no longer think about anything else. He could only hold his forehead with his hand, then spoke with heartache, "Your mother is still worried about your injury. I just asked Doctor Liu, and he said that the wound on your face is suitable for gold wound medicine. I asked Chen Shiliu to go to the warehouse to get it and bring it to you later. You are still young, so you must not leave any scars."
"Uncle Gu..." Yu Yuexi's voice was a little choked, "You are so good to Yueyue."
"Silly girl, you are your mother's child, and you are my child. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?" Gu Shi touched Yu Yuexi's head lovingly.
Yu Yuexi's face was touched again.
Gu Shi said a few perfunctory words and told Yu Yuexi to have a good rest before leaving with Wang Ying.
The two of them returned all the way to Chuihua Gate. After making sure that there were no other servants nearby, Gu Shi whispered instructions to Wang Ying.
"Go and find out what happened in Luoxia Garden just now."
After a pause, he emphasized, "Pay special attention to the three little maids kneeling on the ground."
Wang Ying retreated silently.
I don't know when the red clouds dyed half of the sky red.
All Gu Shi could think about was the scene he had just seen in Luoxia Garden.
My thoughts have already drifted back to seven months ago.
Obviously, everything was so beautiful at that time.
How come everything has changed in just a few months?
...
Night falls.
Main courtyard.
Cui'e saw Doctor Liu off and hurried back.
"Miss, I have already taken care of Doctor Liu, he won't talk nonsense.
When I came back, I also stopped by the study. They said the prince had gone out for something urgent."
Su Liuxi's heart tightened, "Did they tell me where the prince went?"
Cui'e shook her head, "No."
Gu Shi’s whereabouts are becoming more and more erratic.
Sometimes it is completely out of Su Liuxi's control.
Su Liuxi felt increasingly insecure.
"Could it be that the person behind Gu Xiaoxiao is causing trouble again?"
She murmured, then looked at Cui'e.
"How's the thing you were asked to do going on?"
"I have prepared everything. We can start digging tonight."
"Do it neatly."
"Yes."
at the same time.
In the small courtyard at the end of Yueya Lane.
Doctor Liu carried his medicine box and respectfully reported Su Liuxi's condition to Shen Muxi.
"...So, the baby in her belly existed more than a month earlier than Gu Shi knew about it?" Shen Muxi tapped his knuckles lightly on the table, the smile on his lips deepening.
