220: A Strike Back 2

A Strike Back 2

Fury arose inwardly. Lianxiang was her maid, and everyone in the Gu Mansion respected her because of her social status. However, a visit to the Qiong Pavilion left her with a wound on her face. And it was this ugly girl's job! Of course that pissed her off.1

Lianxiang had been distressed, but when she heard that the Second Lady was trying to help her, she turned arrogant and pointed at Qing. "She did it!"

Qing had been panicking since she was worried that her Miss had to suffer from this problem. However, then she was pointed at by Lianxiang who was lying to everyone.

Gu Ruxue got even more furious. "Someone, slap her now!"

Dressed in a white, plain blouse, Gu Chaoyan was standing here steadily. Seeing that Gu Ruxue was going to hit Qing, she said, "Hang on!"

Faced with Gu Ruxue's fury, she said calmly, "She lied to me, so I made her slap herself."

Seeing Gu Chaoyan's expression, Gu Ruxue became even more furious. How dare this ugly girl slap her maid!

Instead of thinking about visiting the court now, Gu Ruxue's expression became so twisted. "So you hit my maid for no reason? How powerful you are to have slapped the maid! Lianxiang is my maid, I am definitely going to seek justice for her!"

Gu Chaoyan looked at her twisted face in composure. She started to feel sympathy towards this girl.

Her maid was lying in front of her, so she apparently was not a devoted maid at all.

Gu Chaoyan continued calmly, "I got her slapped, because she lied to her master!"

"I didn't!" Lianxiang answered hurriedly and flopped to the ground. "Second Lady, please help me!"

Seeing the chaos going on for a long while, Madame Gu became displeased. She clicked her cane and asked, "Chaoyan, if you slapped Ruxue's maid for no reason, apologize to her!"

"I did not." Gu Chaoyan explained calmly.

"You didn't? Then prove to me! Otherwise you should never have slapped my maid!" Gu Ruxue said and looked rather unconvinced. She knew that this ugly girl could not present any proof. "Sister, you have to be careful about making up a lie. You dislike me, so you slapped my maid."

Gu Ruxue's words convinced everyone.

That was true… Gu Chaoyan was the lineal daughter, the Elder Miss of the whole mansion. However, she was not as excellent as Second Lady, and her public reputation wasn't that excellent either. The Second Lady was going to marry Lord Ling and if they were lucky, Lord Ling was going to take the throne and her children would be imperial offspring. If any of her children took the throne, she was going to spend the rest of her life in glory. That was why she was so hated. It was easy to understand…

For one moment, everyone in the front yard turned a strange look at Gu Chaoyan.

Sword One got so furious that her hair stood up. How stupid were these people from the Gu Mansion! Their masters were so stupid and so were their servants. She truly had no idea how her miss stayed smart under such circumstances.

Gu Chaoyan was still standing there calmly, ignoring the peculiar look from the others. With eyes upon Lianxiang, she said composedly. "I can definitely prove that she is lying to her master. She is not only lying to me, but also to you Madame Gu and all of you guys."
