Chapter 807: He’s a Servant of Concubine Gu’s Courtyard
Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhou Dafu thought that since he was brought in by Nanny Xu, this servant must be from Madam’s courtyard.
He was immediately a little dissatisfied. He glared at Nanny Xu and said, “Aren’t you going to bring the indenture over?”
Nanny Xu darted a look at Gu Qiuyue and answered respectfully and confidently, “Master, this woman belongs to Concubine Gu’s yard, and you have to ask Concubine Gu for the indenture. I can’t just barge into Concubine Gu’s yard, lest I break the rules.”
Zhou Dafu was stunned and turned to look at Gu Qiuyue. “Your courtyard?”
Gu Qiuyue bit her lips, feeling a little indignant. However, she still nodded slightly.
Zhou Dafu frowned even more. Gu Qiuyue had always given him the impression that she was gentle and kind. Although she would occasionally behave inappropriately, she had lived in the countryside in the past and had never learned the rules. He was still tolerant.
But now, this beggar-like servant in front of them was actually from her courtyard??
How was this possible?
He felt a little awkward, but with Dai Wenhuo around, he could only suppress these emotions. He said to Gu Qiuyue in a low voice, “Since he’s a servant in your courtyard, why don’t you take out the indenture?”
Mrs. Zhou also smiled and said, “That’s right, Sister Gu, quickly take out the indenture. Old Master has already discussed it with Young Master Dai. Now that this servant has been sold to Young Master Dai, you don’t want Old Master to go back on his word, right?”
As expected, Zhou Dafu’s expression instantly darkened. “Aren’t you going?”
Gu Qiuyue could only leave the front hall unwillingly. She ran back to call Mrs. Ren, but the other party still did not wake up.
She could only return to the front hall with the indenture. At this moment, Steward Zhou had already ordered someone to bring a stretcher over.
Gu Yundong and Dai Zhong personally helped Bian Han onto the stretcher. They only let go when he was comfortable.
After that, they were just waiting for Gu Qiuyue’s indenture.
Seeing that she was slow, Zhou Dafu became even more displeased. “You’re so slow. You’re not up to standard.”
Mrs. Zhou immediately covered her mouth and laughed silently. Gu Qiuyue’s face turned red and her fingers trembled slightly.
She suddenly raised her head and didn’t hand over the indenture in her hand. She only said to Zhou Dafu, “Master, these are my people after all. Why didn’t you ask me when you sold them to others?”
Zhou Dafu’s expression changed drastically. He was actually questioned by a concubine in front of Dai Wenhuo??
Mrs. Zhou even covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed silently. Now, Old Master would know how embarrassing it was for him to take in a country woman who did not know the rules, right? He deserved it.
Zhou Dafu cared about his reputation. How could he tolerate Gu Qiuyue’s provocation? “Even if I sell you, I don’t need to ask you.”
Gu Qiuyue gasped and her body swayed.
What was the meaning of this?
She was about to lose her balance, and the indenture in her hand was snatched by Zhou Dafu.
Mrs. Ren, who had finally been woken up by various methods, rushed in. “Master, I have something to say.”
Zhou Dafu was very irritable. He had sold two servants, but all of them dared to come out and provoke him. Who was the master of this house?
However, Mrs. Ren was someone by his deceased mother’s side. His mother valued Mrs. Ren very much. Before she died, she even instructed him not to disappoint her.
For the sake of the Old Madam, Zhou Dafu said with a dark expression, “Speak.”
