Chapter 1688 - 1688 Begging 2
1688 Begging 2
Qing looked at Gu Chaoyan with a look of guilt. She wanted to say something, but she could not utter a word. She was somehow feeling more anticipation than guilt.
Her parents were born in the Lin Family, and the Lin Family had treated her parents well. That was why she could serve Madame Lin at a young age and then the Elder Miss. That was an honor few servants were able to have.
Because of what the Lin Family did for her, Qing took care of her Elder Miss so well. On the other hand, her contract was in the charge of Elder Miss, and she could only serve Elder Miss throughout her life.
Elder Miss was a nice lady and did not treat her as a maid, but as her sister. She even gave her freedom.
Because of that, she should never betray Elder Miss, but… but she could not control herself. Even though she had been telling herself what she should do, she could not control herself physically.
She had to betray Elder Miss in this life of hers.
In her next life, she was going to serve Elder Miss again.
Qing looked at Gu Chaoyan bitterly. “Elder Miss, I… I am sorry!”
Having said that, Qing kept kowtowing until she had blood on her forehead, but she did not seem to notice it. It seemed as if only in this way, could she feel better.
Next to her was Sword One. She wanted to help her up, but she could not do a thing, except take a step aside and look away.
This was something happening between Qing and Elder Miss. Something only they could solve together.
After that, there should be a settlement.
Gu Chaoyan went forward and placed a compassionate hand on Qing’s forehead. Qing stopped herself, and saw blood on Gu Chaoyan’s hands. It was wet and sticky, but she did not care.
Gu Chaoyan took out her handkerchief and dabbed Qing’s forehead. Then she took out cream from her sleeves and put it on for her, saying gently. “Qing, don’t be sorry. You have done so much for me at the Gu Mansion. If you like him, go with him then. I have Sword One and others, all I want for you is that you can get what you want.”
As Gu Chaoyan spoke, she put the cream on for Qing and adjusted her clothes, taking a deep breath. “Get ready, I will take you into the court and we will talk to him.”
Having said this, Gu Chaoyan thought of how Sword Two told her that she tried to get into the court with her name but failed. She said eventually, “If you can’t think of anything in the future or fail, tell me. I will help you no matter what. Don’t stay alone and work so hard, got it?”
Qing nodded with tears in her eyes.
She understood. She understood what her Elder Miss was saying.
Only Elder Miss treated her this well in her life.
Elder Miss was not a talkative person, but she still told her so much, as if she were a mother marrying her daughter off.
“Let’s go.” Gu Chaoyan urged as she saw Qing’s changing expression.
