Gu Zheng sized up Qiao Xi and stared at her for a moment before smiling meaningfully. âSo thatâs how it is!â
Qiao Xi was slightly guilty from his gaze, but she did not want to be discovered, so she said righteously, âI did sleep at 10:30 pm, but I wasnât used to suddenly changing beds, so I woke up in the middle of the night. I played games for a long time and only fell asleep at two in the morning. Is there something wrong with that?
âAh Zheng, youâre too suspicious. I just had insomnia, but you suspected me of doing something bad outside. You have to change your habit.â
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Zheng laughed out loud. His voice was hearty, and his chest trembled slightly. He said happily, âXi Xi, you look so cute when you explain in a panic.â
Then, Gu Zheng said slowly, âI didnât say that you went out to do bad things. You seem to be a little guilty after explaining so much, though.â
Qiao Xiâs expression suddenly stiffened. As expected, nothing could be hidden from this bastard. She even hated herself for explaining too much. Gu Zheng did not say that she had done something bad, but she seemed to have confessed.
Qiao Xiâs throat seemed to be blocked, and she remained silent for a long time.
Suddenly, Song Shiyu shouted from outside, âPresident! Something big has happened in the main residence. Letâs go take a look!â
The corners of Qiao Xiâs mouth instantly curled up, but she still had to suppress her smile with all her might in front of Gu Zheng, so the corners of her mouth twitched.
For some reason, it was a little later than she had expected, but what should have happened still happened. Lu Yan was blind and his identity was exposed. At the same time, Old Master Lu was unconscious again. The Lu family was probably going to turn the world upside down!
Qiao Xi forced herself to think about sad things before managing to control her smile. She pretended to be alarmed and said, âAh Zheng, something big must have happened in the main residence. Letâs go quickly!â
Gu Zheng nodded as usual.
Qiao Xi sighed in her heart. Song Shiyu had come at the right time. Otherwise, she really did not know how to explain it to Gu Zheng. She quickly got up, put on her clothes, washed up, and followed Gu Zheng out without makeup.
On the way, Gu Zheng glanced at her and asked softly, âXi Xi, you seem to be looking forward to it. Could it be that you know what happened in the main residence?â
This bastard was testing her again!
Qiao Xi calmed down and smiled sweetly. âHow could I know? Itâs just that I hate the Lu family, so Iâm definitely looking forward to their misfortune! Is there a problem with that?â
Gu Zheng nodded thoughtfully, but Song Shiyu pursed his lips. When he came in, he did not say whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that happened in the main residence, but Young Madam was very sure that the Lu family had encountered misfortune. Wasnât it obvious enough?
When they were about to reach the main residence, Qiao Xi realized that she had said something wrong. She hurriedly changed the topic. âAh Zheng, whatâs going on in the main residence so early in the morning?â
Gu Zheng turned his head to look at her and asked with a smile, âXi Xi, you donât know?â
Qiao Xiâs entire body trembled as she was quick to respond, âI donât! I donât stay in the main residence. How would I know whatâs going on there?!â
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. âFrom what you said just now, I thought you knew very well!â
Qiao Xi lowered her head and did not retort anymore. She knew that she was not Gu Zhengâs match.
The two of them arrived at the main residence. At this moment, many people were gathered outside the door. The villa was already in a mess. Lu Xiangâs flustered voice and Lu Yanâs angry roar came from inside.
Qiao Xi stood outside the door and pretended to be curious. âAh Zheng, whatâs wrong with them? I hear Lu Yan shouting that he canât see. He was fine yesterday, so how can he not see today?â
Gu Zheng said slowly, âHe must have done too many bad things. Even the fairy canât stand it anymore, so she made him blind.â
Qiao Xiâs heart trembled: ââ¦â
Fairy? Was she talking about her?
She pretended to be calm. âThatâs right! Eyes are windows to the soul. Whatâs the use of a heartless person like Lu Yan having eyes? By the way, doesnât Old Master Lu dote on Lu Yan very much? Why do I only hear Lu Xiangâs voice but not Old Master Luâs?! Old Master Lu is too heartless. His own grandson is blind now, but heâs not saying a word.â
A smile appeared in Gu Zhengâs eyes, and Qiao Xi beamed.
The two of them entered the main residence and saw the chairs in the living room. The tea set and ornaments on the table had all been smashed into pieces, and the floor was covered in fragments.
The servants hid in a corner and trembled. No one dared to make a sound. Lu Xiang pointed at the crowd and questioned, âTell me! Why did Ah Yan suddenly lose his eyesight? What did you feed him or what did you use on him?â
