The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1875: Chapter 1875: Utter Humiliation (3)

Lord Jiang exhaled deeply, his face turning quite unsightly. He previously thought that the thief might have come here to seek Talisman Water, so he could search for some clues. However, he didn’t expect that there was such a... Hurriedly, he stepped inside.

Soon, cries of surprise were heard from inside, followed by someone breaking out of the window. However, they were pinned down by those guarding outside, without even a chance to make a sound.

Lord Jiang quickly withdrew, his old face flushed with embarrassment. He glanced at Gu Qingheng with some frustration: ”The people inside... let the people by Madam Gu’s side come in and help.” He didn’t bring maids with him for this task.

Gu Qingheng nodded and glanced at Gu Qiao beside him.

Gu Qiao turned and left, soon returning with Lun Yi and Hong Yi.

This time, Yang Ruxin specifically brought these two maids along. After all, with the Chief of Staff’s madam having an affair with another man in the nun’s temple, if Lord Jiang first privately informed Gu Sheng, the news might be blocked. But since Lun Yi and Hong Yi belong to the Noble Consort Jin and Noble Consort Shu, respectively, if they found out, might they take some action?

Therefore, today’s incident can also be considered a test.

In fact, she never understood the motives of the Noble Consort Shu in her dreams, even Gu Qingheng was puzzled. Since it was unclear, it was necessary for the other side to know more, then they would act, and as soon as there was an action, there would be traces to follow.

Lun Yi and Hong Yi never expected the woman inside the room to be the Second-rank Chief of Staff’s Madam Gu.

Actually, Lun Yi didn’t recognize Zou Qiuyue, but Hong Yi did. It was a year ago in the Glazed Palace, when Zou Qiuyue came in to pay respects, she had seen her once. Looking now, where was the high-and-mighty demeanor of the Chief of Staff’s madam from before?

”What’s wrong with you?” Seeing Hong Yi staring blankly, Lun Yi nudged her, ”Hurry up and dress her first.”

Hong Yi certainly wasn’t foolish enough to let others know she recognized this woman, so she quickly nodded.

In fact, Zou Qiuyue’s mind was clear, but because it was too intense, she had no strength in her body. So when she knew someone had come, she couldn’t even get dressed quickly, nor even speak a word.

Now seeing the two maids come in, her heart sank to the ground. There were female watchers, so she... But before she could come up with a strategy, the two maids nonchalantly went about their business, dressing her piece by piece, even tidying her hair before leaving.

But at this moment, Lord Jiang was in a dilemma. Although every noble household had its scandals, those were internal matters, while externally, everything appeared glossy and smooth.

Take Gu Sheng, for instance. It was said that his eldest son coveted his stepmother’s beauty and committed an indecent act, leading to the eldest son being expelled from the family without hesitation. But then?

He couldn’t help glancing at Gu Qingheng. Naturally, he was one of the few who knew the insider story. No matter how he looked, Gu Qingheng seemed like a noble and honorable figure, whereas Zou Qiuyue... Tsk tsk, it seemed there was more to that story back then.

However, now wasn’t the time to gossip. Lord Jiang quickly came to his senses but still coughed twice awkwardly, then glanced at the people around: ”That... Congxin, you make a trip back to the city.” They hadn’t caught the thief, but instead uncovered an affair, especially in front of someone from Jiu E, this time, they had lost face massively.
