Cai Zhu was asked first.
Cai Zhu’s worried face was brightened up, when she assumed that Madame Gu asked her first to get her justice done. She threw a provocative look at Gu Chaoyan just to see if Lady Chaoyan was panicking.
Cai Zhu had decided that if this ugly woman begged her, she might forgive her. So she did not answer the question directly, instead she waited for a little while longer.
During this interval, Gu Chaoyan did not even spare a look at her.
That displeased Cai Zhu so she said furiously, “Madame Gu, you have to help me! I am your eldest maid and my duty was to ask Miss to come here. But she slapped me right on the face.”
Madame Gu looked at Gu Chaoyan, wondering if she had got so arrogant just because of her relationship with the Wang Family.
Gu Chaoyan did not have the intention of dodging Madame Gu. She was a frank person and a profit lover like Madam Gu would not defend her beloved. She was furious at the moment, because she felt humiliated. She never cared a thing about the life and death of Cai Zhu.
She had thought about giving up Cai Zhu if she never mentioned a thing.
But since Cai Zhu decided to mention it, Gu Chaoyan had no intention of letting the revenge go. So she said straightforwardly to Madame Gu. “Grandma, I slapped her because I had to.”
“….”
“I am the Miss of the Gu Family, ugly yet still the blood of the family, the Miss. This maid pays me no coutersey and calls me names. If the maid dares to bully me now, I am worried that she will bully you in the future if I don’t give her a lesson.”
“….”
“Also, since I have saved the Young Master of the Wang Family, and the Wang Family approves of me. Then it is a reasonable thing that the Gu Family and the Wang Family are going to be involved in the upcoming future. But this maid claims that I am trying to suck up to the Wang Family. I am the Miss of the Gu Family, so does she mean that the Gu Family are all sucking up to the Wang Family? It is we, the Gu Family who are the saviors of the Wang Family. This maid is looking down on us all!”
“….”
“This maid is totally impolite. The two slaps on her face were not a serious punishment, because I wanted to wait for you to deal with her! But she is now bad-mouthing her Miss!” Gu Chaoyan said in a wronged tone, yet her words made total sense.
Madam Gu’s face already turned pale. She pointed at Cai Zhu who had gotten so frightened that she dropped to her knees. “How dare you, useless maid! How dare you humiliate the miss of the Gu Family and the whole mansion. Someone!”
Hearing Madam Gu’s tone, Cai Zhu understood that she was not going to get away with it.
She did not dare to beg for mercy from Madame Gu, but went to catch Gu Chaoyan’s legs and said, “Please, Miss, it is all my fault, please spare me! I don’t dare to do anything any more!”
Before Gu Chaoyan was able to talk, Madame Gu already said to Chen Fu in a furious tone, “Take her out and beat her to death!”
Gu Chaoyan did not blink a thing. She was a kind-hearted person, but she was resolute as well. Else she would not have been a killer in her previous life.
If Cai Zhu had chosen to conceal the whole incident, she would not have mentioned anything either. However, the maid chose the opposite, so Gu Chaoyan had to get her killed in her own defense.
Cai Zhu had begged for mercy from the wrong person. If she had turned to Madame Gu, her life might have been spared.
Because Madame Gu…
