Chapter 222 Poisoning
Chapter 222 Poisoning
At this moment, Su Yue was reclining in a chair in a lazy and leisurely posture.
She gently waved the fan in her hand, a faint smile playing on her lips, watching the two young maids before her with great interest.
He thought to himself, "This is really interesting!"
It should be noted that Madam Gu's actions were clearly an attempt to use her beauty to seduce him.
It's a pity that Su Yue is not the real Gu Yuan.
If she were truly Gu Yuan herself, she might actually be deceived by the two sisters and fall into their carefully woven trap.
After all, Chunhua and Qiushi look so alike that it's almost certain they are twin sisters.
The two sisters are remarkably beautiful.
Chunhua, in particular, appears innocent, naive, and cute at first glance, but in reality, her attire is extremely seductive.
The tight-fitting dress perfectly outlined her slender waist, while a glimpse of snow-white skin was faintly visible at the neckline, making people's imaginations run wild.
Even a casual glance at it can make your bones feel like they're about to go limp.
Qiu Shi became even bolder, directly using her eyes to seduce him.
Su Yue coughed twice, deliberately clearing her throat, and said, "Ahem~ Qiu Shi! Look at the flowers in this yard, they are blooming so beautifully, I really love them!"
It must have been Aunt Jiang who carefully arranged for it to be planted. Oh dear! We really should thank her properly.
Here's what I'll do: Go quickly and dig up the most lush and vibrant flower stalk in the yard, then take it to Aunt Jiang as a token of my gratitude.
However, after Su Yue finished speaking, she found that Qiu Shi was standing there blankly, not moving at all.
So, Su Yue couldn't help but look up at Qiu Shi. Just then, their eyes met.
Qiu Shi looked troubled and replied in a coquettish voice, "Third Young Master~ Look at the sky, it's already so late. I think it would be better if we helped you to rest first. How about we wait until tomorrow morning to deliver the flowers to Aunt Jiang? What do you think?"
Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Shi eagerly stepped forward and reached out to tug at Su Yue's clothes.
Su Yue was secretly amazed. This little girl was too bold. Did she want to force herself on her?
Hehe! Although she also quite liked such a beautiful woman, compared to her, she still preferred the well-behaved Chunhua.
Thinking of this, Su Yue's lips curled up slightly, and she softly uttered two words: "Dali".
Dali, who had been waiting on the sidelines, had actually been itching to get rid of Qiushi a long time ago.
Hearing Su Yue call her, she rushed forward without saying a word, grabbed Qiu Shi who was desperately tugging at Su Yue's clothes, and then swung her arm forcefully. With a "whoosh," Qiu Shi flew straight into the flower bushes, scattering petals everywhere.
"Ouch! I'm going to die from this fall!" Qiu Shi was thrown face-first into the mud by Dali.
After getting up, he looked at Su Yue with a wronged expression.
Su Yue ignored her completely and then looked at Chunhua.
Chunhua felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at, and quickly ran into the flower bushes to pull Qiushi, who was still looking at Su Yue with a wronged expression.
The two bowed to Su Yue from a distance and then quickly found tools to dig up the flower.
"Hmph, these servants! They need to know their place, or they won't even know how they died!"
"Alright, alright, remember to deliver these flowers to the designated place. Look at the sky, it's getting late. Dali, come help me back to my room to rest."
Su Yue stood up, stretched lazily, then swayed her hips lazily before swaying as she walked into the house.
The next morning, before the sky had even begun to lighten, a sudden, urgent, and loud knocking startled Su Yue awake from her sleep.
She groggily opened her eyes, muttering to herself, "Who is this? Disturbing my peaceful sleep so early in the morning!"
Muttering to herself, she reluctantly crawled out of her warm bed, slipped on her shoes, and went to open the door.
When she struggled to open the door, she could see, in the dim light of dawn, that several servants were standing in a row outside.
Su Yue couldn't help but feel surprised and confused. She blinked her sleepy eyes and asked in confusion, "What's going on here...?"
At this moment, one of the servants stepped forward and said respectfully, "Third Young Master, the Marquis is waiting for you in the front hall."
When he raised his head, Su Yue took a closer look and exclaimed, "Oh my, isn't this the same Uncle Zheng from the Gu family whom I mistook for my father yesterday?"
"What could your lord possibly want with me so early in the morning? I haven't had enough sleep yet!" Su Yue couldn't help but let out a big yawn, her eyes watering, looking extremely tired.
However, when Su Yue asked him, Uncle Zheng simply bowed slightly and replied mysteriously, "Third Young Master, you will know the details when we get to the front hall."
After saying that, he adopted a "no comment" attitude.
"Alright! Since that's the case, then I'll go with you and see what's the matter that requires someone to come looking for us so early in the morning. Dali, keep up!"
Su Yue shook her head helplessly, thinking that nothing good would come of it anyway.
Since that cheap, scumbag father is asking, it's not right not to go.
Su Yue went back inside to tidy up, and then, together with Dali, followed Uncle Zheng to the front hall.
When Su Yue stepped into the front hall, she quickly scanned the room and found that the people sitting inside were almost the same as yesterday, except that Old Marquis Gu was not there.
She had intended to find an empty seat like the others, but just then, she suddenly heard Lord Gu stand up abruptly and let out a deafening roar: "Kneel down!"
The sudden roar made Su Yue instinctively pick her ears. Who was that person calling?! The voice was so loud.
At this moment, because Lord Gu stood up, the seat he had been sitting in became empty.
Seeing this, Su Yue walked over without hesitation and plopped down on the chair.
The moment her bottom touched the chair, she felt a sharp gaze shooting at her like an arrow.
Looking up, I saw that Lord Gu's face had turned ashen, his hands were trembling with rage, and the finger pointing at Su Yue seemed to be bent slightly with anger.
"You...you...you kneel down! You just got home and you dare to harm your mother! It seems we have no choice but to use family discipline!" Lord Gu's eyes widened in anger, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
