Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 499: Never Able to See Through Him (4)

Two bodyguards were holding the maid, as Chi He brought the vase over to her nose.

The maid immediately held her breath, daring not to inhale.

"Don’t, young master, please don’t..."

"Don’t worry, we at Feng Residence may lack other things, but we definitely have no shortage of bodyguards strong as bulls, as many as you need."

"I’m not... I beg you, young master, please!" The maid seemed to be getting dizzy.

It really is that potent, scaring her until she paled instantly!

"Young master, I beg you..."

"It seems you are well aware of the potency of this fragrance?" Gu Beicheng’s eyes suddenly turned cold, "Speak, why did you frame Ling Qian and Nian Nian?"

The words ’framed them’ relaxed Xia Yinian’s entire body, as if she had lost all strength and slumped onto the sofa.

"Nian Nian!" Gu Lingqian wanted to support her, but seeing she was alright, his attention also fell on the maid. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

It was indeed a setup; they were truly framed. Now, does Uncle know already, and does he believe them?

Being vindicated of the false accusations brought no joy at all, instead, it complicated his feelings.

Does Uncle know Nian Nian was wronged, so they... made up, right?

Actually, it’s good news that they made up, but he just feels a bit... well, a bit... stifled, but it’s really nothing, just a tiny bit.

Chi He brought the vase over again, and the maid had just barely regained her composure. Looking at Gu Beicheng, tears immediately started to flow.

"I initially did not know what use the flower had, but after... after everyone found out something went wrong, sob..."

Actually, in a grand household, some news can easily leak, but it’s limited to a few maids in good relations with each other.

That day, someone saw the young master leaving Young Master Ling’s room with a bundle of blankets. There were maids cleaning on the second floor, just that they were too frightened to show their faces.

"I knew something happened that day, so I was sure the items I delivered had a problem, young master, there’s no use asking who asked me to deliver the items, she has shown me great kindness, I won’t tell."

The maid knelt down, crying, and kowtowed to Gu Beicheng: "Young master, I implore you to forgive me, please."

"When I took those things up there, I really didn’t know there was a problem, but afterwards... young master, please spare me."

While the maid continued crying and begging for mercy, a servant suddenly rushed in, frantically saying, "Seventh Young Master, the Old Madam... the Old Madam has had an accident!"

...

The Old Madam vomited blood, and now she’s in the medical room, just revived, and the situation is finally a bit stable.

Gu Beicheng went in, as the Old Madam had requested to see him,

Everyone outside was anxiously waiting; the Old Madam only wanted to see Gu Beicheng, refusing to meet anyone else, even the Old Master was denied entry.

So now, in the medical room, it was just the two of them, and the doctor giving her a transfusion.

Later on, even the doctor was sent out, it seemed like the Old Madam had something to tell Gu Beicheng.

The family waited outside, while the Old Madam refused to meet them.

Xia Yinian sat outside on a chair, her expression still somewhat dazed.

Gu Lingqian didn’t know what to say when he saw her like this.

Everyone else had left, only the Old Madam’s sons, the Old Master, along with Gu Lingqian and Xia Yinian remained.

Eventually, Gu Lingqian sat down next to her and quietly said, "Now that the wrongful accusation has been cleared, you... should be a bit happier."
