Chapter 1661: Something Went Wrong (4)
Zou Qiuyue took the tea, drank a sip, and then nodded, "The nurse must know, my mother died early, and the later stepmother wasn't easy to get along with. I treat the nurse like my own mother. What I have today, I've fought for myself, so I will absolutely not allow anyone to disrupt it, and everything of the Gu Family will belong to Che'er."
Just then, a servant came in to report a matter, causing Zou Qiuyue to temporarily set aside the issue.
However, after dismissing the group of servants, she saw Ajue rushing in, "Madam..."
"What happened?" Mrs. Niu frowned, "So flustered, where's your decorum?"
Ajue then hurriedly slowed her pace but still looked anxious, "Madam, there's a letter from outside."
"Quick, give it to me." Zou Qiuyue was momentarily taken aback and suddenly stood up, making a big movement that knocked over the teacups on the table, spilling half of the tea, wetting her sleeve, but she couldn't care about that now.
Mrs. Niu sighed, quickly stepped forward to steady the teacup, preventing it from shattering on the ground.
Ajue hurriedly took out a note from her chest and handed it over.
Zou Qiuyue took the note but then calmed down, gesturing to Ajue.
Ajue turned and went to the door to keep watch.
Zou Qiuyue finally opened the note, the contents were simple, only a few short lines, yet her face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly.
"Madam." Mrs. Niu quickly supported Zou Qiuyue.
"I'm fine." Zou Qiuyue frowned, then waved her hand, "My cousin is in trouble." Saying this, she glanced at Mrs. Niu, "Nurse, find an opportunity to go out and send him some medicine, check the situation..."
"I understand, Madam." Mrs. Niu hurriedly nodded.
Just then, the servants' greetings came from outside, Gu Sheng had arrived.
Zou Qiuyue quickly stuffed the letter into her mouth, swallowing it with a few gulps, choking so much her eyes welled with tears.
When Gu Sheng entered, he saw his wife looking mournful, and immediately frowned, "What's going on?" As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Niu and Ajue, "How are you serving her?"
Mrs. Niu and Ajue quickly knelt down.
"Brother Sheng." Zou Qiuyue simply let her tears fall, "I just feel a bit upset, it's not their fault..."
Gu Sheng then waved his hand.
Mrs. Niu and Ajue quickly got up, tidied the table, and served new tea before withdrawing.
"What is it about?" Gu Sheng liked this wife, although her background wasn't as noble as Shu Manzhi, her looks were much more alluring, and she understood him well. The key was that she truly adhered to him, treating him as her world. She was the woman he loved without any family interest involved, making him not feel inferior, and she was always so understanding. So, seeing her cry, after all these years, he still felt his heart ache.
"Brother Sheng." Zou Qiuyue walked over and hugged Gu Sheng's waist, "I know, the eldest master is still alive, even holding an official position..."
"That traitor is no longer part of the Gu Family." As soon as Gu Sheng heard it was about this matter, he reached out to embrace Zou Qiuyue, "You are Mrs. Gu, and my son is only Che'er."
