At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Yue returned home after finishing her work.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw several maids gathered in groups of three or four, whispering something.
She frowned with some displeasure. Her parents would be back soon, and they hated to see people doing other things during working hours.
But before I walked over, I heard them whispering.
"Do you think the young master really likes Gu Yufei?
Hearing this, Zhao Yue couldn't help but slow down her pace, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and her eyes widened.
Master? Brother!
I just heard a few people continue talking.
"Of course she is. Someone saw her limping out of the young master's room before."
"Limping? Doesn't Gu Yufei already have a daughter? Could it be that..."
"Hey, she must be pretending to be innocent in front of the young master. That woman used to be like this, staring at the young master every day, like a fangirl. Now that she's lucky, of course she's started to play tricks."
"Hey, don't look at others with such a dark mind." Someone retorted.
"Maybe... maybe the young master is just so powerful!"
This remark caused the other maids who had gathered together to blush.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" She blushed and was afraid of the speaker.
"Oh, oh, I heard that the young master locked that little girl Gu Xiaohan in the pigsty. Is that true?"
"Of course it's real. Butler Li did it himself, how could it be fake?"
"...You said, Gu Yufei is trying to climb up the social ladder, so she doesn't even want her daughter anymore?"
"Maybe. Anyway, that woman has been thinking about how to seduce the young master every day. Now she finally gets what she wanted. Of course, she has to deal with the trouble quickly."
"Hey, is that so? But wasn't this the order from the young master?" Someone covered his mouth in surprise.
"Tsk, how could the young master, who is such a good man, give such an order? That woman Gu Yufei must be shameless. After seducing the young master, she didn't care about her face anymore in order to get close to him. She even didn't want her daughter anymore."
Zhao Yue couldn't listen any longer, and an incredible light flashed in her eyes.
How is it possible that my brother is getting involved with a maid named Gu Yufei?
Zhao Yue's first reaction was disbelief.
Listening to the maids' solemn promises, I couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
"What are you doing, gathering together?"
She walked over with an indifferent look in her eyes, and the coldness in her eyes seemed to freeze people, which scared the maids.
"It's still working hours, you should know the rules of your father and mother!" She looked at them coldly and uttered words without any emotion.
"I'm sorry miss, we'll leave right away."
Several left in a panic.
"Tsk, who is she? She's just a woman adopted by the master and the mistress, but she's actually acting like a young lady."
Someone whispered.
"I can't help it. The young master dotes on her."
"Humph, this woman is so lucky to have such a good brother like the young master."
"Okay, shut up now. No matter what she is, she is still a lady. Stop making up stories."
Zhao Yue didn't hear what the others said. She stood there, looking upstairs. Her changeable expression showed that she was not at peace at the moment.
Zhao Yue knew that her brother had taken in a woman who had a daughter as a maid a few years ago out of pity for her. The woman had a daughter and was said to have been harmed by someone and got pregnant before marriage, so she was kicked out of the house.
I didn't expect that!
This woman actually has such a mind.
Zhao Yue's face looked very unhappy.
Absolutely not.
"Such a woman is not worthy of my brother from any angle."
She took two deep breaths. She knew her brother well. He would never do such a thing as throwing a little girl into a pigsty. So the only person who could do that was Gu Yufei.
What a vicious mother.
That's right, it's delusion.
She actually did something like throwing her daughter into the pigsty!
It's better for people like this not to have any delusions!
In the past, she felt sorry for Gu Yufei and helped her a lot, but she never expected that this woman was actually playing with her behind her back. This was absolutely intolerable!
She clenched her pink fists so tightly that she almost left bloody marks on her fair.
She gritted his teeth and walked towards Zhao Yan's room.
What I hear now are only the one- sided words of those people. For some questions, it is better to ask the parties involved directly.
She rushed into Zhao Yan's room in a hurry.
"Brother!" Zhao Yue rushed in naturally. She had broken into Zhao Yan's room like this many times before.
"They said you have a crush on Gu Yufei. Is that true or false?"
Zhao Yue was very nervous when she asked directly.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Zhao Yan's eyes as he lay on his recliner.
"Will you never learn something as simple as knocking on a door?"
After knowing the plot, Zhao Yan found it difficult to look at his sister directly.
In the plot, Zhao Yan beat and scolded his adopted sister, which could be described as abuse.
Despite being an adopted daughter, she is treated worse than a maid. At least a maid gets a salary, but in the plot, Zhao Yue's treatment in the Zhao family is "we pay your tuition fees, and you have to behave well outside and don't appear to be unkind."
It is natural for Zhao Yue, who grew up in such circumstances, to hate the Zhao family and Zhao Yan.
Being scolded, beaten, and ridiculed by Zhao Yan at home every day, and having to act like her family is treating her well when she goes out, this would make her a twisted person.
Even if you adopt a cat or dog, you know you don't have to love it, but you don't hurt it!
It is understandable that she finally joined forces with the protagonist to seize the Zhao family's property.
But understanding is one thing, and accepting or not is another.
From the perspective of the original Zhao Yan in the plot, suddenly one day, his parents brought back a non-blood- related sister to him, intending to take away his parents' love.
How should he feel.
Even though his parents adopted Zhao Yue for other purposes, Zhao Yan couldn't accept it.
In the end, he died in such a miserable way, at the hands of his non- biological sister, and even his family property was taken away.
The current Zhao Yan is not the Zhao Yan in the plot, but as the user of the identity of Zhao Yan, he still puts himself in the position of Zhao Yan in the plot.
He shook his head and threw these messy things away. For some things, one can only say that everyone has their own stance!
And in the end, Zhao Yue has taken on the responsibility of taking care of her parents, which is not bad!
