Chapter 109: Might Shift the Blame on Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Mother, we met Lil’ Han just now and even sent him home,” Lingbao said as she spread her arms and hugged Gu Qingxue’s neck tightly.

Gu Lin and Dumby looked at Lingbao enviously.

They also wanted to be hugged by their mother, but they were all boys, so they could only give their mother’s embrace to their younger sister.

Gu Qingxue’s expression changed, and she looked up at Cui’er, who was not far away, looking a little unnatural.

She immediately realized what had happened. Gu Qingxue put down Lingbao in her arms, and instructed Lan Wen, who was following behind her, “Take the Young Masters and Young Miss to wash up first.”

“Mother, aren’t you going to sleep with us?” Dumby asked expectantly, tugging at Gu Qingxue’s sleeve.

Gu Qingxue bent down and stroked Lingbao’s head, “Of course, I’m going to accompany you. Go back and wash up first. I want to tell you a story when I get back, okay?”

“We still need to listen to the story of the monkey king,” Gu Lin requested.

“Okay, go and wash up first.” Gu Qingxue handed the three children to Lan Wen with ease. She looked at Cui’er and said, “Cui’er, come with me.”

“Yes, Eldest Miss.” Cui’er nodded respectfully and followed Gu Qingxue.

After bringing Cui’er to a place where no one was around, Gu Qingxue saw that she was nervous. She did not beat around the bush and said, “From the looks of it, you should have sent Lil’ Han back to the prince regent’s manor.”

Cui’er was very surprised. “Eldest Miss, do you also know the identity of that Young Master?”

“You don’t have to care about that. You just need to know that if you tell others about what happened today, your life will be in danger. You just need to keep your mouth shut,” Gu Qingxue said calmly.

Cui’er’s legs gave way, and she fell to her knees with a thump. “Eldest Miss, this servant doesn’t know anything!”

“Yes, you just don’t know anything. You only brought Lil’ Lin and the others out to play tonight. You haven’t met any other children, and you haven’t been to any places you shouldn’t have been.” Gu Qingxue’s dark eyes flickered with a profound light, “Do you remember?”

“Yes, this servant will remember everything! Thank you for your reminder, Eldest Miss,” Cui’er hurriedly agreed.

Gu Qingxue was finally relieved and watched Cui’er leave.

After Cui’er left, the voice of the little butler rang in Gu Qingxue’s mind.

“Host, the Eldest Madam is still trying to harm you. If you directly exposed your relationship with that big fish it’s guaranteed that the entire GU family will be respectful to you. Then, we don’t have to be so careful, right?” The little butler clearly could not understand why did Gu Qingxue not use her backer.

Gu Qingxue turned around and walked toward the courtyard where she lived. She did not speak, but communicated with the little housekeeper with her mind, “Do you think Madam Kou is scary or that Young Master is scary?”

“Of course, it’s that big fish! If he didn’t have a high status, the system wouldn’t give him so many points,” the little housekeeper said matter-of-factly.

“The Young Master doesn’t want anyone to know that he was poisoned. Since that’s the case, I’ll have less contact with him. Otherwise, if he were to be exposed one day, the blame might fall on me. I won’t cause trouble for myself.” Gu Qingxue had already analyzed it, she knew that the Young Master was not someone to be trifled with, so she would avoid him if she could.

“I see.” The little butler suddenly understood.

“You came out just in time. I was about to ask you, I cured the Imperial Duke Zhan’s wife today, so why didn’t the system give me any points?” Gu Qingxue questioned.
