Chapter 154 A small fight
"Ha!" Gu Wen sneered, "Don't worry, you won't die."
The confidant looked at him strangely and said nothing more.
Wang and He's cheeks were swollen from being slapped. When they heard the servants shouting that people from the Dali Temple were coming, they thought they were saved. But after waiting for a long time, no one stopped them, and they became even more desperate.
Lin Shuning looked past the crowd, towards Gu Wen, and nodded in thanks.
Gu Wen's heart was beating like a drum, and he smiled back with red ears.
About half an hour later, Gu Wen slowly started to send people to pull the people apart.
Wang's eyes were bloodshot. She spat a mouthful of blood at Gu Wen and said incoherently, "I knew you had feelings for that little bitch. You helped her... helped her harm me. As the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, you turned a blind eye to the mob bullying and beating us. Just wait, I will definitely report you!"
Madam Liu rolled up her sleeves and said, "I slapped you so many times, but I still can't shut you up!"
Pretending to take action again.
Wang had been frightened by the beatings and begged for mercy in fear: "I was wrong, I was wrong! Don't hit me... don't hit me!"
Gu Wen stopped Madam Liu and half bent down.
For the first time, that face that had always been as gentle as jade showed a cold smile: "I do love Miss Lin, and I did it on purpose today. This is the retribution you deserve. Go and report it, but who will believe it?"
Wang's eyes suddenly widened, she gasped violently, and finally her eyes rolled back and she fainted from anger.
He, who was standing next to her, was afraid that after Wang fainted, everyone would transfer their anger to her, so she quickly followed suit, rolled her eyes, and pretended to faint.
Gu Wen stood up and ordered in a cold voice: "Come here, carry Lord Lin's wife and concubine away. As for the one who beat people..."
He paused, glanced at the ladies, and slowly said, "After recording the confessions, I will let you ladies go home. It's not a big deal, just a small fight between women."
The corner of his confidant's mouth twitched. This was not just a small fight, it was clearly a gang fight.
But these two people really deserved it.
If he wasn't a member of the Dali Temple, he would have taken advantage of the chaos to kick him a few times.
Lin Shuning came to Gu Wen's side and saluted him: "Thank you for what happened today, Master Gu."
"No need to thank me." Gu Wen held her arm and helped her up.
Lin Shuning smiled politely, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "What did you just say to Wang?"
"Nothing," Gu Wen shook his head, avoiding the question and changing the subject, "In the future, I'm afraid your life in this mansion will be even more difficult. Have you thought of a way out?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I'm not in a hurry. They can't do anything to me for the time being." Lin Shuning said.
With the money she has now, she can buy herself a new mansion at any time, it just depends on whether she is willing to do so.
Seeing her confident tone, Gu Wen felt relieved and looked into Lin Shuning's eyes seriously and sincerely: "If there is anything you need my help with, Miss Lin, please feel free to ask."
Lin Shuning nodded: "Thank you, Master Gu."
The trusted guard had already recorded the confession. Gu Wen glanced at her, then raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Then I will take my leave first."
After saying this, he directed everyone and led the ladies away in a large group.
Before leaving, Mrs. Liu nodded at Lin Shuning. She was the one who hit Wang the hardest just now. Lin Shuning had a good impression of her. The clinic's business was getting bigger and bigger. In the future, there might be opportunities to cooperate with the Liu family.
After everyone left, the Shangshu Mansion became quiet.
All the servants stood trembling by the side. Someone bravely asked, "Miss San... Miss San, Madam and Aunt He are seriously injured. Should we invite a doctor to see them?"
"Call a doctor?" Lin Shuning sneered. When the original owner was tortured and covered with bruises and dying, who called a doctor for her?
"No need, this injury won't kill anyone.
By the way, you guys go count all the gifts that the two of them have received during this period, report to Butler Liu, and ask him to return them intact. For things like brocade, exchange them for silver. Otherwise, they won’t let it go easily.”
The servants looked at each other, hesitant, and Matron Jiang was the first to respond loudly: "Yes, Third Miss."
"Lian'er, let's go."
When passing by Nanny Jiang, Lin Shuning lowered his voice and said, "Come to me after you've dealt with it. I have something to ask you."
Nanny Jiang nodded calmly.
……
After returning to the villa, Lin Shuning stretched lazily in a happy mood.
This time it was a complete victory. Seeing the miserable looks of Wang and He, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
No one in this entire Shangshu Mansion deserves sympathy. They are all murderers who killed the original owner.
This injury and humiliation are not even one-tenth of what the original owner had suffered.
Not long after, Nanny Jiang's stealthy figure appeared at the door.
She walked in, looking back every few steps, as if she was afraid of being discovered by others.
Lin Shuning looked at her with amusement: "Are you so afraid of being discovered?"
Madam Jiang wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "Miss Third, my lady hates you to the core now. If she finds out that I came to see you secretly, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."
Lin Shuning raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry, she doesn't have the time to send someone to follow you now. She asked you to come here today because she has something to ask you."
"Miss San, please speak."
"You are also an elder in this mansion. You should know what happened when Wang was pregnant with me, right? I want you to tell me everything in detail." Lin Shuning said in a deep voice.
Madam Jiang was stunned for a moment: "Why is the Third Miss asking this for no reason?"
Lin Shuning frowned.
Nanny Jiang immediately realized that she had said too much, and hurriedly said in a sheepish tone: "I had just entered the mansion not long ago, and I didn't know much, but I remember very clearly that when the lady was pregnant with you, the master was still a third-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel. At that time, He was in favor, and it was because the lady was pregnant that the master was willing to spend more time on the lady.
Later, the lady followed the master back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, but they encountered a rebellion on the way. When everyone followed the master all the way north, the lady got lost halfway. When she was found again, you had already been born. "
Lin Shuning frowned, "That means when Wang gave birth, not only was there no midwife, but no one from the mansion was present?"
"Yes." Nanny Jiang nodded.
Lin Shuning subconsciously clenched her sleeves. If it was really as Nanny Jiang said, then there would be no clues to investigate further. How could she find the biological parents for the original owner in such a vast sea of people?
She pondered for a moment, and seemed to have caught some key fragments in her mind. She hurriedly said, "After Wang gave birth, did she have any new maids or servants around her? Otherwise, how could she, a woman with a big belly, give birth to a child in such a turbulent time, and how could she travel hundreds of miles to find you? There must be someone helping her."
Lin Shuning narrowed her eyes dangerously, and her tone revealed a threat: "Madam Jiang, since you have pledged your loyalty to me, you should answer my questions without reservation and in detail."
