Chapter 768 Fear
Meng Yunlan had never heard of such a secret medicine. She felt that Fu Ze was just fooling her. She looked at Gu Qianling: "There is such a secret medicine? Could he have made it up? What kind of secret medicine is this? It doesn't even have a name."
Gu Qianling frowned slightly. "I have indeed heard of this secret medicine, but I have never seen it in person. It is said to be expensive and rare, and only a few people possess it. How could Qianhan..."
Fukuzawa didn't care whether the two of them believed it or not, and he didn't explain anymore. He had already said everything he needed to say according to his master's instructions, and then he left with his men.
After he left, Meng Yunlan immediately asked the maid to check the bodies of Nanny Ping and Shancha.
After checking, the maid Bai Shao came back to report, "Young Madam, Madam Ping and Shan Cha are indeed not injured, and their blood is indeed chicken blood."
Meng Yunlan didn't believe it: "How is it possible that there is no injury?"
Gu Qianling said, "I've already said it before. Second brother knows what's going on and won't really torture your maid. He still cares about your face, so don't dwell on this matter anymore."
"Why am I the one holding onto this? Didn't my second brother arrest and interrogate my people for no reason? Furthermore, they were all fine when he took them away, but they were unconscious when he brought them back. Is he trying to give me face? He's slapping me in the face!"
"So what do you want to do? Are you going to go find my second brother and slap him in the face? If you can really do it, I won't stop you, but if you can't, don't make things worse and lose face. It won't make up for the loss."
"If I can't do it, can't you do it for me? Who is my second brother making such a fuss about? He's trying to get back at his wife, so he's giving me a hard time! Even someone as cold as him knows how to protect his wife, but you, on the other hand, appear to be gentle and loving to me, but every time something goes wrong, you always tell me to be tolerant and forgiving! I've endured so much for so many years, and suffered so many grievances, isn't that enough?"
A hint of displeasure crossed Gu Qianling's gentle face. "So you feel that you've suffered a lot of injustice in the Duke's Mansion? You didn't say that before. Your satisfaction with me and the Duke's Mansion was all fake, right?"
Meng Yunlan choked: "Are you going to quarrel with me? Is now the time to say this? The most urgent thing now is that you go to your second brother and ask him why he hit me in the face like this? Am I not being good enough to him as his sister-in-law?"
Gu Qianling suddenly stood up and said, "Of course you treat Qianhan very well. Otherwise, why would you personally go to give him your favorite blood bird's nest, and why would you go to his yard to get close to him?"
He said this calmly, his voice was the same as before, gentle and soft, and he didn't seem angry at all.
But Meng Yunlan immediately heard his dissatisfaction.
She was about to explain when she heard Gu Qianling say, "But you seem to have a strong prejudice against your sister-in-law, and you've repeatedly targeted her. You slapped her in the face, so my second brother slapped you in the face. It's only natural."
"How could I be targeting my sister-in-law, Gu Qianling? Why don't you even believe me?!"
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Yunlan, don't think that everyone else is stupid. Second brother's reputation as a genius is not undeserved. The fact that Second brother's wife can suppress Second brother proves that she is also extremely intelligent and talented."
"You, what did you say? You actually praised Shen Wantang like that?!"
"Stop it, don't make such a fuss. You've caused such a mess at home, I'm exhausted just watching you. I almost don't want to come back."
After Gu Qianling finished speaking, he walked away.
Meng Yunlan watched him leave, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.
What she said to Gu Qianling just now was, of course, not just because she was slapped in the face by Gu Qianhan, but Fu Ze said that Gu Qianhan gave her nanny and maid a secret medicine that could make them speak the truth!
All her affairs were done by Nanny Ping and Shancha, and they both knew almost all her secrets.
If the secret medicine really worked, wouldn't Gu Qianhan know all her secrets now? She secretly set up obstacles for Shen Wantang and instructed Qiao Zhiyu to seduce Gu Qianhan, so wouldn't he also know?
Meng Yunlan had a bad feeling in her heart. She was eager to know what had happened and whether Nanny Ping and Shancha had said anything they shouldn't have.
"Bai Shao, go find a way to wake up Madam Ping and Shan Cha, the sooner the better!"
"Yes!"
Bai Shao retreated in a hurry and brought people to give Ping Ma and Shan Cha medicine, pour cold water on them, prick them with needles, and cut their fingers to let the blood.
After working for a full hour, they finally woke up both of them.
She brought the man to Meng Yunlan, who questioned him personally.
But after asking for a long time, Nanny Ping didn't say a word, but just stared at Meng Yunlan blankly like an idiot.
Shancha's situation was even worse. She kept talking nonsense and didn't know who she was when asked.
Meng Yunlan's face was very ugly: "Gu Qianhan, you are so vicious and cruel that you have driven my maid and nanny crazy!"
"No, that's not right. Qianhan is not that kind of person. He wouldn't treat me like this. In the entire Duke's Mansion, the person he respects the most is me!"
"It must be Shen Wantang. She was the one behind this. She was the one who instigated Qianhan to slap me in the face!"
Bai Shao's face was pale, showing a sense of sadness and fear, as if a rabbit had died and a fox had mourned the loss.
She and Shancha have always been Meng Yunlan's right-hand men. They usually walk around the Duke's Mansion with a domineering attitude and are very majestic. Even if they say that they are maids of the Duke's Mansion's eldest young lady, people still look up to them and are very polite to them. No one ever dares to give them a cold shoulder.
The two of them and Nanny Heping have always looked down on Shen Wantang. Ever since they heard that the second young master was discussing marriage with the second young lady of the Shen family, they have looked down on her.
After Shen Wantang married into the family, Meng Yunlan disliked Shen Wantang, and her confidants looked down on her even more, so they secretly made things difficult for Qionghuayuan.
No matter whether it was the rations distributed by the mansion or the meals prepared by the kitchen, what Qionghuayuan received was always the worst.
But Shen Wantang seemed to have endured it all, and didn't say a word to Madam Gu or the Second Young Master. She made up for the missing rations with her own money. If the meals were bad, she would buy the ingredients and cook them herself, and never complained.
They felt that Shen Wantang was easy to bully, and that she came from a poor family and had no one to rely on, so they became more and more aggressive and looked down on Shen Wantang more and more.
Yesterday, they followed their master into the second young master's study courtyard, but Shen Wantang was stopped outside. The pride and disdain in their hearts reached its peak.
But today, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse!
Nanny Ping and Shancha were both forcibly taken away by Gu Qianhan. When they were brought back, they were almost dead!
