However, they still saw the two people who were called out by Mrs. Zhou clearly. The two of them were dressed ordinary and not too conspicuous. They looked like guests who had come to stay.
After hearing the instructions, the two of them lowered their heads and went to the second floor.
Not long after, Mrs. Zhou and the others went up.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Curious, Tong Shuitao silently fell behind her.
She only stuck her head out and saw Mrs. Ren’s eyes wide open in horror. She was pressed down and gagged by the two people who had gone upstairs first. There was no way to inform others at all.
Those two people might have some skills. When they attacked, they were clean and efficient, not giving Mrs. Ren a chance.
Then, Mrs. Ren’s face was filled with disbelief as she watched Mrs. Zhou push open the door with Nanny Xu and the butler…
Tong Shuitao still wanted to go in and take a closer look, but Mrs. Zhou probably knew that family scandals could not be publicized. She got someone to surround this area, not giving anyone a chance to watch the commotion.
As soon as she entered, the door closed.
Tong Shuitao sighed regretfully. She went downstairs listlessly and sat opposite Gu Yundong.
“Miss, aren’t you curious?”
“What’s there to be curious about? I’ve already guessed. Besides, there’s nothing to see here.” They weren’t a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and she didn’t have a good figure. It hurt her eyes to look at her.
Gu Yundong waited for a while before Mrs. Zhou came downstairs.
Not only her, but also Zhou Dafu.
Zhou Dafu was forcefully woken up by Mrs. Zhou. His hair was still wet from the tea.
In the end, he did not drink much. After a while, he woke up.
But at this moment, Zhou Dafu’s face was ashen.
Behind them were Steward Zhou and Mrs. Ren, who were being escorted. Steward Zhou still had footprints on his body, and Mrs. Ren had a palm print on her face. Both of them looked desperate.
On the other hand, Gu Qiuyue tilted her head and seemed to be unconscious. Just like that, she was dragged out by the two old women.
The group of people hurriedly left the Auspicious Inn without even looking at the lobby downstairs.
As soon as they left, discussions broke out in the inn.
“Isn’t this the Old Master of the Zhou Mansion? What happened?”
“I heard that a maidservant stole their things and ran away. Mrs. Zhou came to arrest her.”
“Wow, that must be a treasure. Otherwise, why would Old Master Zhou and Madam Zhou come personally?”
“Eh, was Old Master Zhou here?”
“What do you think was stolen?”
It was unknown what had been stolen, but that night, the Zhou Mansion was robbed.
It was said that the thief went to the Zhou Mansion to search first. The next day, the news of Old Master Zhou being cheated on by his concubine spread on the street.
It was the thief who found out. When he went to the Zhou Mansion, he happened to see Zhou Dafu dealing with Concubine Gu.
It was said that Steward Zhou and Mrs. Ren were both beaten 50 times each. However, halfway through the beating, the two of them couldn’t hold on and died.
Zhou Dafu wanted Concubine Gu to pay with her life. These days, adultery was a serious crime, especially when Concubine Gu was a concubine.
Concubine Gu refused, and somehow, she bumped into a pillar, and then she was gone.
When the news reached Gu Yundong, she was about to leave.
Gu Dajiang had already finished his vacation and went to Tianhai Academy to study.
Hence, both father and daughter knew that Gu Qiuyue… was dead.
