Delivering a letter

Guan Meipo took that letter which personally transcribed by Xu Shiye, all the way to the Chen family with muttering, looking at the grand door in front of her, she still could not help but murmur: “This Xu Shiye could have something to do with that woman, otherwise why would he personally write the letter for that woman?”

Anyone who worked as a manservant for a wealthy family, especially as a concierge of this kind, was a bit discerning; therefore, before Guan Meipo who had her head bowed in thought, arrived at their door, the Chen family’s gatekeeper already saw her, then when she got closer, knowing that she should be here to find them, he directly greeted her and said with a smile: “Da ren, you have come here to our mansion, what is your business?”

His words interrupted Guan Meipo’s train of thought, and also caused her to instantly come back to her senses, directly handing over the letter she had cupped in her hand, “This is from the newly coming female prisoner. She said that it must be handed over to Master Chen.”

The gatekeeper looked at the letter in his hand, and was obviously a bit at a loss as well. But Guan Meipo didn’t give him a chance to ask questions, and after handing the item over, she directly turned around and left; anyway, her letter had already been delivered, and the rest was none of her business.

Looking at the back of Guan Meipo who left with big strides, the gatekeeper then looked at the letter in his hand, and finally scratched his hair in agony, he still decided to give this thing to the housekeeper to make things difficult for him.

Madam Chen, who was in her room, letting her little maids pinch her shoulders and rub her legs, suddenly heard from outside that the housekeeper was asking to meet.

Mrs Chen pondered for a couple of seconds and asked the little maids around her to step back before summoning the butler to come in.

After that butler came in, he first performed a salute before pulling out a letter from his arms and directly said, “This was sent over from Yamen side, saying that this letter is from a female offender, it was sent for master. I don’t know how to deal with it, so I’ve come to ask for Madam’s opinion.”

As soon as Madam Chen heard this, her face, which was originally somewhat loose, instantly became serious, and she hastily waved away the maids on the left and right. She said as she beckoned towards him, “Bring it over.”

“Yes.” The butler didn’t make any pretense, and with a quick step forward, he directly passed the letter to Madam Chen.

Madam Chen took the letter, and at first was a little hesitant to open it. What if it was opened and could not be restored? As a result, she saw that the seal of the letter was not sealed and it was very easy to restore it, so she no longer hesitated and directly opened it and took out the letter from inside.

The housekeeper was tweaking his ears and scratching his cheeks (in anxiety or delight) as he looked at it, very curious about the content inside, but he only saw Madam Chen snorting coldly and cursing in a low voice, “That bitch, in her dreams!”

Madam Chen originally wanted to tear the letter. She wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but soon, not knowing what she had recalled, suddenly she stuffed the letter back and sealed it to its original form before she handed it over to the housekeeper, “I have not seen this letter.”

The housekeeper first froze when he heard this, then as if he thought of something, he hurriedly nodded and said, “This time, I’ve come here for the purpose that I am going to ask the madam for advice on this quarter’s branch.”

Madam Chen hooked the corner of her lips, very satisfied with this knowledge of him.

Gu Mansion,

Inside Gu Lang’s study, Gu Lang was in the middle of formulating a plan for Chen Xing’s next stage of literacy when he heard several knocks sound at the door of his room.

“Come in.”

The next second the voice rang out, Qiu Jiu walked over. Wearing a gray linen coat, that person didn’t get up, with an indifferent face, and the whole person just looked uninterested in anything.

Qiu Jiu walked over to Gu Lang, who was writing without stopping, and said softly, “Gongzi, as you expected, that woman has asked the guard in the prison to send a letter for her to the Chen Mansion.”

“Oh, is that so?” Gu Lang’s writing brush did not stop, and even became more and more flowing like floating clouds and water (natural and spontaneously), “And was it sent in?”

“It was sent.”

“Very good.”

Gu Lang collected the last stroke and looked at the ten words he had written, feeling extraordinarily satisfied.

Qiu Jiu looked at the man in front of him, and still couldn’t help but ask, “Gongzi, why did you help her?” He felt that according to Gongzi’s character, he should have killed her instead and directly made her beg for her life. (have a fate worse than death)

Gu Lang raised his eyes to look at the subordinate in front of him, and there was detachment between those handsome eyebrows. He laughed softly, but it added a bit more coolness, “How do you know that I’m helping her?”

Helping that woman to deliver a letter and letting people from Chen’s family rescue her, isn’t that helping her?

Qiu Jiu looked at the young master in front of him, even after following him for so long, he still couldn’t figure out his thoughts until now.

Perhaps because he saw through Qiu Jiu’s doubts, so Gu Lang slightly lowered his eyebrows and softly said: ”If I want that Chen family to save her, then it’ll be considered that I’m helping her. If that Chen family doesn’t save her, moreover even still treats her as a hidden danger, and finds out that she happens to be in jail right now, what do you think will happen to her?”

“Naturally, it’s to speed up the speed of her disappearance!”

Qiu Jiu understood in an instant, and at the same time felt a cold chill run down his body as he looked at his family’s young master, always with a bit of awe. No matter how long he had followed his family’s young master, every time he experienced his family’s young master’s scheming, he would feel his hairs stand on end!

Gu Lang looked at Qiu Jiu in front of him, who was looking at him adoringly, and gently hooked the corner of his lips. What he was going to do was more than that.

Just when the atmosphere in the study room was somewhat frightenedly quiet, a cat’s cry suddenly came from the doorway, followed by Chen Xing poking his head out while holding Xue Qiu in his arms.

Chen Xing grabbed Xue Qiu’s little paw and waved it in Gu Lang’s direction, smiling brightly, “We’re going to eat ah!”
