Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Gu Lingqiao was completely stunned. What was going on? After hearing her confession, wasn’t Brother Rui supposed to be truly grateful, immediately send the matchmaker and a betrothal gift, and then carry her in a grand sedan chair into the house?

"Brother Rui, what are you talking about?" Gu Lingqiao stomped her foot, almost dying of anger. It must have been that wretched Princess Consort who seized the chance when she wasn’t paying attention, whispered things she shouldn’t have into the Prince’s ear, which was why he had such a reaction.

Long Rui stood up, holding Xuexue’s hand, and walked out of the hall.

Gu Lingqiao was gnashing her teeth in hatred, having toiled all morning and ended up with nothing. The duck head still couldn’t be avoided and was waiting for her ahead!

She stormed out, and as she passed the steward, she deliberately stomped on his foot hard.

She was relatively petite and lightweight, and the steward, a grown man, of course didn’t take it to heart, but he felt strongly resentful of Gu Lingqiao’s behavior. This girl was really cunning, actually reversing right and wrong, saying he had served her uncooked food. To avoid eating duck heads, she even came up with such a dirty trick.

The steward knelt on the ground, his leg was numb, and he shakily stood up while a few servant boys went to support him.

"Get lost, you traitorous lot." The steward was still angry; when Gu Lingqiao asked them to testify just now, they all backed her, clearly engaging in traitorous behavior.

A few servants stood aside with their heads lowered, and one of them said quietly, "Miss Gu’s question wasn’t really wrong, could we say no?"

The steward grew even angrier: "You damn fool, when have I ever served her raw food? She’s lying blatantly and you help her, too disheartening. Tell me, have you accepted any benefits from her usually?"

The servants quickly shook their heads: "No, no."

The steward didn’t believe it: "If not, why would you go against your conscience and speak for her?"

The servants earnestly said: "We didn’t know Miss Gu said you fed her uncooked food, we thought she meant you personally served her the meals, we did see you serving her meals yourself."

Upon hearing this, the steward almost wanted to curse: "Just because of this, you claim you saw it with your own eyes?"

They nodded in unison: "That’s right."

The steward was so infuriated he could die; with such idiotic subordinates, he was truly unlucky, really not fearing godlike enemies, just pig-like teammates.

A few servants surrounded the steward, saying in unison: "Steward, don’t be angry, we didn’t do it on purpose."

They were thinking that they still had to rely on the steward in the future, to have good days, maintaining a good relationship with the steward was essential, having inadvertently offended him just now, they were all trying to make amends, hoping the steward would have the largeness of heart to not hold a grudge.

The steward was so angry his nose was crooked, he pushed them away forcefully: "Get away."

The steward’s figure gradually disappeared, and the few servants helplessly wanted to cry, why were they so unlucky? Stumbling into such unlucky situations, it was like the saying, taking a bullet even when lying down.

"Steward’s angry, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Work more, talk less!"

The few servants were dispirited, some even started resenting Gu Lingqiao, all because of that damn woman, intentionally misleading them.

They couldn’t think of a better solution, so they would just try not to appear in front of the steward often, but they were responsible for the cleaning of the hall and courtyard, and the steward often wandered in these spots, the chances of not being seen seemed quite slim.
