NovelEnglishChapter 278: Problems
The moment Gu Chaoyan finished speaking, the air froze.
Mrs. Liu burst out in anger. Instead of remaining friendly, she pointed at Gu Chaoyan and interrogated. “Who are you? You are talking nonsense here!”
“Someone, come and slap her!” Mrs. Liu said furiously. When she noticed Hanxiang’s hesitation, she more or less understood that Hanxiang did not pass the examination, but she still had some hope inside her, assuming that Hanxiang refused to talk because of Li Yuanxiang’s presence.
Unexpectedly, however, this woman revealed the truth in public!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMrs. Liu immediately became furious! After all, this plainly-dressed girl, who hung out with Li Yuanxiang, must have been born from a common family. She could not have any supporting background and punishing her was not going to bring her any trouble.
Liu Zongyuan did not stop her. It was just an ordinary girl who could be punished if his wife wanted it. He was very furious that Hanxiang did not make it, but he could punish her when she returned home, not here in public!
Hearing the order, Mrs. Liu’s maid came towards Gu Chaoyan.
Sword One was about to stop her when Zhou Huaiyu’s voice arose from a short distance away. “What are you doing here? Are you having fun?”
The words had just been spoken when Zhou Huaiyu appeared in front of the group.
Seeing Zhou Huaiyu. Liu Zongyuan showed a bright smile and greeted Zhou Huaiyu. “Lord Yu, what are you doing here?” Then he answered with a smile. “We are not doing anything here, I am just here picking up my girl for home.”
With Zhou Huaiyu standing in front of them, Liu Zongyuan did not dare to mention that they were about to bully a girl.
Well, he was also sure that this girl did not dare to mention the bullying either.
The Liu Family were not someone that commoners dared to offend. So this girl should understand what she was supposed to do.
With a smile on his face Zhou Huaiyu looked at Gu Chaoyan and Li Yuanxiang.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGu Chaoyan let out a confused sound and then said as she turned to Liu Zongyuan and his wife, “Officer Liu, are you going home now? Your wife has just said that I should be slapped in the face. Have you changed your mind?”
The words had just been spoken when Liu Zongyuan and Mrs. Liu’s expressions changed. They turned pale and started to panic.
Zhou Huaiyu soon stopped smiling. He sized up Gu Chaoyan’s face and understood that she had not been slapped. However, even if that was the case, Zhou Huaiyu was still annoyed. If he had not happened to come to Gu Chaoyan today, Liu Zongyuan would have bullied the girls! Liu Zongyuan did have many staff with him, guards and maids, but Gu Chaoyan was alone with Li Yuanxiang.
“Officer Liu, is that true?” Zhou Huaiyu inquired.
Liu Zongyuan got so anxious that sweat came dripping alongside his forehead. He kept wiping the sweat from his head. He did not know what Lord Yu was like as a person. He might want to help this pretty-looking girl.
Mrs. Liu, however, was not afraid. This girl was just a commoner, and her husband was an officer with fourth rank, could Lord Yu favor the girl instead of them?
“Lord, that is true! But I did so only because the girl is talking nonsense and spreading rumors about our family. That was why I decided to punish her!” Mrs. Liu said with a natural tone.
