Chapter 988: Chapter 986: Disloyal and Unrighteous
Wen Congruiâs gaze, like an arrow, straight towards Lan Shu on the ground, eyes like theyâve been poisoned, making people dare not look directly.
Lan Shuâs body went stiff, nearly unable to breathe; she had never seen the young master with such a cold and disgusted expression, looking at her as if looking at some filthy thing.
"Young Master..." Lan Shuâs eyes were filled with tears.
"Discussing gossip is not befitting a gentleman. You spread rumors over a thousand miles away; did you understand the inside story? Can you guarantee that what you heard is the real truth? Can you be sure that is everything?"
"You cannot guarantee it, yet it has already spread to the house, and as it spreads within the house, who do you think is offended? Itâs the Wu Family, itâs Wufu and Mrs. Zhou. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, the Wen Family has already offended people because the source of the words came from the Wen Family." Wen Congruiâs voice was like ice: "Where does this place the Wen Family? This is disloyalty to the Wen Family. Who gave you the courage?"
Lan Shuâs face turned pale, she kowtowed several times in succession, and defended herself: "Young Master, this servant only casually mentioned it to the Old Madam, and did not spread it outside."
"Werenât you someone who studied poetry and books? Do you not understand the principle of âwords from my mouth do not go past your earâ? Do you not know one becomes ten, ten becomes a hundred? There are many mouths in the house, and everyone talks; can you guarantee tight lips on everyone? Lan Shu, you are already loose-tongued, let alone others?"
"Young Master..." Lan Shu was full of shame and anger.
"Do you know what people are saying?" Wen Congrui sneered: "People want to ask me how to teach out a gossip-mongering shrew like you."
Lan Shu bit her lip, tears continuously rolling down.
"What was your purpose in spreading news back home? To let the Wu Family know? As you wished, the Wu Family must have known." Wen Congrui said coldly: "And it was learned from the mouths of people from the Wen Family."
"Young Master..."
The disgust in Wen Congruiâs eyes was evident, "I donât need a loose-tongued servant girl who canât keep her mouth shut by my side, nor dare to use one. Pack your belongings immediately and go back to the Wen Family."
"Young Master!" Lan Shu was greatly shocked, crawled a few steps, and said while crying: "Young Master, this servant knows her mistake, this servant wonât dare again! Young Master, donât drive this servant away, this servant wonât dare again."
"Lan Shu, Iâve already given you two chances."
Lan Shu stiffened, bit her lip and said: "Young Master, I beg you to give this servant one more chance, otherwise, this servant will only die to end it."
Wen Congrui sneered: "Donât try to threaten me again with the same act; do you think it still works? If you truly want to seek death, stay far away; the Wen Family doesnât need a disloyal and unrighteous servant girl like you."
Lan Shu felt a chill in her heart: "Is Young Master truly so ruthless?"
"Get out." Wen Congrui flicked his sleeve.
"Young Master, this servant has served you for so long, are you truly going to abandon this servant over such a trivial matter? Young Master, this servant promises..."
"Your promises are worthless. If it werenât for considering the years you served me and being given by the Old Madam, your fate wouldnât be returning to the Wen Family, but instead being sold out! If you plead again, Nan Shan, call the broker, the brothel lacks people." Wen Congrui said coldly.
Hearing this, Lan Shuâs face turned deathly pale, looking with disbelief at the young man before her.
So many years of sentiment couldnât compete with a minor matter; he was so ruthless as to want to sell her to such a filthy place?
"Young Master..." Lan Shu intended to speak again but was forcibly dragged away by Nan Shan, covering her mouth.
