Chapter 2705: Weirdo

The Weirdo rolled on the ground, covering himself in dust, wailing and crying like a ghost, looking quite pitiful.

The townsfolk seemed to understand a bit and began accusing the Gu family residence: “You’re just judging people by their appearance, he’s already pitiful enough, yet you poison him, that’s just too much.”

The servants looked at each other, amazed by the old man’s ability to twist truth, casually overturning their previous statements with just a few words.

If this keeps escalating, it will damage Old Master Gu’s reputation.

Some servants gathered together, whispered for a while, then one of the servants turned around and ran inside…

Obviously, the Weirdo was making things worse, beyond their ability to handle, so they decided to report to the Master.

Old Master Gu had been beaten and scared, still lying in bed and hadn’t gotten up.

Most exaggerated was that since being savagely beaten by Long Rui, Old Master Gu now cannot sleep without a hundred Hidden Guards surrounding his room, always feeling unsafe, always fearing that as soon as he shut his eyes, he would get beaten up again.

And then there’s that little female ghost, his room is covered with talismans.

Those Hidden Guards were driven somewhat neurotic by Old Master Gu.

Old Master Gu called for guards dozens of times in a single night; every time he called, someone had to appear immediately, and if there was any delay, he would immediately fly into a rage.

The entire Gu’s Mansion was made edgy by Old Master Gu, everyone’s nerves were tightly strung!

Afraid they’ll be summoned to serve by Old Master Gu in the next second.

Since Aunt Yu died, Old Master Gu fell ill again.

These days, the Eldest madam was in high spirits, hoping the Master stays ill, so he wouldn’t go around being frivolous and flirtatious, which makes her angry.

The maid respectfully said, “Madam, it’s Shichen Chinese Time for the Master to dine!”

The Eldest madam, dressed in silk attire, wore jewelry and a Gold Bracelet on her hand, presenting herself as a noblewoman.

“Hey, it’s time to feed the Master.”

The Eldest madam stood up from the stool, about to leave the room, when the servant guarding the entrance hurriedly walked in to report: “Madam, it’s not good, there’s an incident.”

Before the madam could speak, the Old Maid beside her shouted angrily: “Bold servant, how dare you barge into the madam’s room?”

The servant was startled, only then realizing in his hurry, he had rushed into the madam’s room.

The servant quickly retreated to the doorway, standing there in apprehension: “Madam, there’s an incident.”

The Eldest madam, with an imposing aura, said displeased: “What’s the matter? You look so panicked, don’t forget, this is Gu’s Mansion, not an ordinary wealthy house.”

The servant, sweating profusely from the reprimand, kept nodding: “Yes, yes!”

The Eldest madam glanced at him and asked again: “Tell me, what’s exactly happened?”

The servant, relieved, began narrating in detail: “Madam, there’s a Weirdo at the door claiming we poisoned him, demanding compensation.”

“Just drive him away, no need to report such trivial matters to me, the Master is waiting for me to feed him!” The Eldest madam, hearing this, seemed a bit impatient, reporting trivial matters to her, what’s the use of them?

The servant, helplessly anxious, thought, if they could chase him away, they wouldn’t have come to report.

“Madam, please take a look, things are quite chaotic outside, many townspeople are gathering at the gate watching the commotion, and their words are particularly unpleasant, really don’t know what else to do, so came to ask Madam!”
