‘So, she did not really do that for you!’
Of course, if Gu Shi dared to say this, Gu Yiyi would desperately fight him. He thought about it and managed to swallow the words. He glanced at Feng Ruqing, bitterly.
His eyes seem to blame Feng Ruqing for taking away his baby girl’s heart.
Feng Ruqing was stunned. “Chen’er, I did not offend Tian Shen Manor’s manor master, right?”
Why did she feel that the manor master was staring at her so sharply?
Was the manor master gay? Did he like Nan Xian? Did he hate her because of her relationship with Nan Xian?
Well, it was possible.
Unfortunately, the state preceptor liked women. Jiu Ming seemed to like men. Should she introduce him to Gu Shi? They might end up being a great couple.
Gu Shi had regained his gaze from Feng Ruqing. He then smiled. “The daughter of the Qin family is really kind.”
Qin Fei’er’s maid—Liu Xia’s heart ached when she saw her young lady had been kneeling since just now. When she heard what Gu Shi had said and seen his smile, she quickly lifted Qin Fei’er from the ground.
“Young Lady, the manor master is praising you.”
She could not help but glare at Luo Li proudly when she said this.
She did not have to say too much. Anyone could see her young lady’s kindness, even the manor master was soft-hearted to her.
“Thank you, Manor…”
Qin Fei’er bent down weakly. Gu Shi spoke again before Qin Fei’er could thank him.
“Young Lady Qin is really kind. You used morality to threaten a girl and let her take all the blame. Why? Can’t she cry or say it out loud if she was aggrieved? Why did she have to listen to you? Why should she accept the apology of the person who has hurt her?”
Qin Fei’er’s smile froze. She felt very uncomfortable since her waist was not completely bent.
What made it more intolerable was the shame.
If the manor master wanted to speak, why not finish all at once? Why embarrass her?
“Furthermore, what makes you think that I will let Qin Xiaoyue go if Young Lady Luo pleads for her? Anyone who hurts my daughter must die and those who plead for her should also die. In this case, will you still force Young Lady Gu to plead for her?”
Gu Shi’s smile slowly disappeared as he looked at Qin Xiaoyue with a condescending attitude.
Qin Xiaoyue’s face grew even paler. He clenched his fists, tightly.
The manor master had already spoken. What else could she say? If she asked Luo Li for help, would it not make others think that she wanted to force her to death?
But she just wanted to let her aunt live, even if her aunt was guilty, it would still be better than dying. She really did not have other motives.
Was she wrong?
Qin Li’s eyes were getting cold. He just remained silent as he faced Gu Shi.
“Manor Master.” Wen Yu could not bear to see her daughter being criticized. “My child—Fei’er did it out of kindness. Why did you not let her go? Why are you so merciless toward a girl?”
Gu Shi sneered, “Merciless? I can’t compare myself with Qin Fei’er. You know that she is a girl, too. What about the girl from the Luo family? If Young Lady Luo has really promised to help her, I will not let the Luo family go. If she refuses, then the younger generation in Tian Shen Manor will isolate her. Why does she have to take responsibility when it was not her fault?”
He really hated those women who would always cry and would not do anything. Those women who pretended to be delicate and weak but actually were pushing you to hell saying that everything they were doing was for your sake.
