Chenxing started to panic as her mories gradually beca clearer. She slapped her own head fiercely; it was that jerk Shaocheng who had knocked her out.
Chenxing hurriedly put on her shoes and walked out of the bedroom, looking for soone in the dining room.
Shaocheng and Hua Hua were sitting in the dining room eating.
Chenxing approached Gu Shaocheng with increasingly hurried steps. He casually pulled out a chair for her, but before Chenxing could sit, she asked anxiously, "Shaocheng, what happened last night?"
"It’s nothing, sit down and eat," Gu Shaocheng said with a nonchalant smile.
Chenxing’s eyes widened: "It’s nothing? What do you an by that?"
"I’ve taken care of it, it’s all fine now, you little dummy, don’t you understand?" Gu Shaocheng gestured, and imdiately a servant ca over to add a bowl and chopsticks. The servant, carrying the bowl, walked with a limp.
Hua Hua took a sip of milk and asked, "What do you an it’s nothing? Bro, did sothing happen?"
"It’s nothing."
"It’s really strange, has everyone in the Gu Family twisted their ankle? Why did I see so many people limping today, could it be they’re cursed?" Hua Hua pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth and expressed his confusion.
Chenxing let out a sigh of relief and sat down to eat.
Only after hearing Hua Hua’s comnts did she start to pay a bit more attention, and it seed that there might be sothing to it.
Gu Shaocheng ate calmly, serving food to Chenxing. Full of unanswered questions, Hua Hua couldn’t help but turn to the servants behind and ask, "Are you guys cursed?"
The servants quickly shook their heads.
"Did you twist your foot?"
"Reporting to Young Master Hua, I have rheumatism, just that it’s acting up, causing my knee to hurt a bit," the servant replied in the calst voice possible.
Hua Hua said, "Could it be that everyone got rheumatism?"
"That’s enough," Gu Shaocheng slightly lifted his head and instructed the house steward behind him: "Notify everyone, take a day off today, go and rest."
"Sir, I... I’m fine," the servant’s face changed in alarm, afraid of having said sothing wrong.
Gu Shaocheng’s face softened: "Go on, take enough rest, then continue with your work at your respective posts."
Hot porridge was placed in front of her, and after eating a couple of spoonfuls, Chenxing found it very appetizing. She had already guessed that sothing must have happened at the Gu Family after she was knocked unconscious by Shaocheng last night. Could it be that they were punished with kneeling? It seed Gu Shaocheng, oh so feudal, would resort to kneeling as a punishnt on a mont’s notice. What era was this? However, this was a longstanding rule of the Gu Family, not sothing he had invented on his own. It was a legacy from the ancestors, and he simply used it because he found it useful. What’s wrong with that? He’s not soone you can argue with on certain topics; this man is completely irrational in so aspects.
Chenxing recognized the servant, the one who served them als every day.
"Right, Mother Wang, if you’re not feeling well, you should go rest. With you limping like that, you won’t be able to work properly. What if you end up breaking the dishes later, that would be a loss, wouldn’t it? Go on, we can clean up by ourselves later. When Shaocheng and I lived outside, I cooked, did the dishes, and took care of everything myself, we’re not that spoiled."
This ti, the servant excused herself. The four serving servants left sluggishly, barely able to move their feet.
Hua Hua thought to himself with a silent complaint: Combining kindness with severity, what ga was big brother playing? Could it be that a big incident happened in the Gu Family last night? He had no idea what had happened. Hmm, I should ask third brother later, he must know.
