Baby Chu was clamoring for his mother, and even Butler Fu couldn’t coax him.
Gu Jinglian could not take it anymore and shouted, “Stop crying! If you continue crying, you’ll never see her again!”
Baby Chu sobbed and asked innocently, “If Baby Chu stops crying, will he be able to see Mommy?”
“As long as you don’t cry!”
Baby Chu immediately nodded his head gravely. “Okay! Baby Chu won’t cry!”
It was a promise!
Gu Jinglian walked out of the bedroom and immediately ordered, “Clean that woman up.”
“…?” Butler Fu was confused when he heard this.
He had just heard that a bold woman had trespassed the Gu residence.
Old Master had this woman taken to the cellar. He had heard that this woman was Baby Chu’s biological mother, but he had not had the chance to find out the truth!
“The woman that Old Master mentioned, could it be the woman you locked in the basement?”
“That’s right.”
Gu Jinglian said with disgust, “Baby Chu is clamoring for his mother. Go and clean her up. Don’t bring her here all bloody!”
“Yes, I understand.”
Butler Fu obeyed fearfully and watched Gu Jinglian leaving the room, heading off to god-knew-where.
Naturally, he did not dare to ask where his master was going.
On the way to the cellar, Butler Fu’s imagination ran wild. He wondered what kind of woman she was, to have been pregnant with Old Master’s child.
She should be a pretty woman?
Old Master was very particular about this aspect of a woman.
The contraceptive measures were carried out appropriately, having this happen was inconceivable.
The old master had a foul temper, and he had no patience for women.
It wasn’t that he was born this way, but rather, this personality had been cultivated from a young age growing up in the Gu family.
The violent environment had made him a perverse person.
However, Butler Fu knew in his heart that the old master was not a bad person. It was just that he was used to having his way. He was used to being pampered. People would always give him exactly what he wanted.
Thus, he was used to having the last say in everything.
He had a cold and aloof personality, or perhaps he had a soft side, but he was stingy with words.
He would never allow himself to show too much tenderness.
Firstly, it was because of his status.
He was the supreme leader of the Gu Clan. As the head of the Gu Clan, he had to live up to the image of his status.
Secondly, many people in the Gu family were watching him.
Just like the leader of a pride of lions, only the most ruthless one would be respected by the others.
Except that, he was only human after all.
Eventually, his heart softened.
Butler Fu walked to the dungeon, the few people guarding Chu He were immediately relieved when they saw him. “Butler Fu, you’re here! What did Old Master say?”
“How is she?” Butler Fu asked.
“Butler Fu, why don’t you take a look first? She fainted again just now. We don’t know what to do either.”
“Old Master said to take her back to the room.”
Butler Fu walked up to Chu He and bent over to look at her.
“Could this person be dead?” Butler Fu sounded worried.
He saw that she was covered in injuries, her hair was in a mess and covered her face. There was a pool of salt water under her body and the three whip marks on her back was a glaring sight. Her torn flesh and blood made a blurry mess.
This was a lady!
How could they be so heavy-handed?
“She’s still breathing, but… I was a little harsh just now. I don’t know…”
While he was speaking, Butler Fu was already turning her over.
It would have been fine if he had left her as she was.
However the moment he turned her over, Butler Fu was greatly startled.
