Chapter 926: Chapter 920 Miss Biao Steals a Man

"But what is this behavior of Gu Youyou? It’s far worse than a secret exchange; it’s pre-marital affairs. Soaking her in a pig cage would not be too much."

She knew this girl was bold, but she had never imagined she would be this daring.

How could she dare...

Madam Lin was at a loss for words for a long while, her face turning from red to pale, then from pale to ashen.

Xiang Chun was trembling with fear upon hearing these words.

Jin was the mistress’s lover? And they had... they had even shared a bed? How could she not know?

As her personal maid, not knowing these things, she didn’t know how Madam would deal with her.

She was scared to death.

"Xiang Chun, why are you trembling? Don’t you plan to give your mistress a proper explanation?"

Startled, Xiang Chun hastily kowtowed, "Madam, spare my life, please spare your servant..."

"Kneel and speak properly. Whether I spare you depends on your performance."

"I’ll tell, I’ll tell everything!"

So Xiang Chun betrayed Gu Youyou as well.

"Mistress has always been strange; ever since I came to her courtyard, I have slept especially well at night, never waking before dawn. I’m not afraid of being laughed at by Madam, but... one night I ate too much watermelon and... I wet the bed and didn’t even wake up..."

Saying this, Xiang Chun cautiously looked up at Madam Lin, whose face was still an iron blue, her gaze ferocious like she could eat someone.

Xiang Chun was on the verge of tears as she continued, "Mistress has a specialty; every night she rewards me with a delicious bowl of soup. I suspect... it’s that soup that has something wrong with it... wuwu, I really didn’t know about the mistress stealing a man..."

Luckily, Gu Youyou wasn’t here, or she would be furious to death.

She had been so good to Xiang Chun and Searcy, yet they just sold her out like that, Searcy saying she had a lover, Xiang Chun saying she was stealing a man; what a display, what a fine display from each and every one of them.

"So you mean to say she’s been having secret meetings every day within the manor?" Madam Lin said through gritted teeth.

Xiang Chun cried out, "Madam, I really didn’t know, I only knew that after drinking the mistress’s soup, I would sleep especially soundly."

Madam Lin almost fainted with anger, lying back in her chair and had Hen Xiang pour her a cup of water.

After some time, she gradually regained her composure.

Such shameless acts had never been dared in her world, yet someone had done it right under her nose; how could she bear it?

She felt like a failure as a butler.

Eventually calming down, she felt that this matter should not be leaked.

There were four people in the room; Hen Xiang was her own person.

She stared at Xiang Chun and Searcy, "If anyone lets even half a word of today’s events leak out, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Xiang Chun hurriedly said, "I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare utter a single word."

Searcy snorted coldly but said nothing.

"Go, go, go!" Madam Lin shooed them away, irritable.

This matter was of great importance, and she felt that it required careful consideration.

The Empress was usually pleasant to everyone, but to reach her position, could she really be as charitable as she seemed?

If she were truly kind-hearted, how could Xiao Qinqin have died outside years ago?

The slap she received during the day had awoken her; the Empress was inherently a tyrant, only putting on a show of charity. But after repressing it for too long, once she encountered something or someone that endangered her, her true nature would reveal itself.

She told herself to go home and thoroughly investigate Gu Youyou, but the things she found out today, she could not report truthfully to the Empress.
