Chapter 242 Is This Your Fault?

Guo was startled.

She just stood up, but several stewards and maids rushed in from the hall.

"Madam, I don't know what happened to the koi fish in the pond, they all jumped out suddenly."

"Madam, the porcelain in the storeroom was smashed by someone."

"Madam, all the food in the kitchen was overturned on the floor."

"Madam, the old lady was scalded by tea, I want you to ask a doctor for her."

...

Guo's eyes went dark and her body swayed.

If the maid beside her hadn't helped her in time, she would have fainted.

Guo slowed down and looked at Ling Chu suspiciously. Somehow, she suddenly thought of what she said just now, "I'm afraid that you, the Duke of Zhao, can't bear it."

Before she came, everything was fine in their Duke of Zhao's Mansion.

But after she came, so many changes happened.

It was originally heard that it was because this bitch was punished by her relatives that she was sent to the Taoist temple for foster care. Could this be true?

Seeing Guo in a daze, the maidservant beside the old lady could not help but urge, "Madam, the old lady is still waiting for the imperial physician..."

Guo came back to her senses, and did not bother to think about Ling Chu anymore. She hurriedly asked someone to invite the imperial physician, and then went to deal with those unexpected accidents.

I don't know if she was afraid that Ling Chu would kill Zhao Jingming, so Guo also called him away.

Everyone left, and in the flower hall, besides Ling Chu, there was only a little maidservant.

Ling Chu was not annoyed. She found a seat and sat down. She asked the little maidservant to serve her tea. After drinking a few sips slowly, she put the big shovel and the small hammer back into the system.

As soon as she entered the door of the Duke of Zhao's mansion, she put an invisibility talisman on the big shovel and the small hammer and let them play around.

The accidents just now were their masterpieces.

Originally, she did not let them go to the ancestral hall, after all, the dead are the greatest.

However, Dachan acted on his own. Seeing that the old woman who was in charge of the ancestral hall was talking nonsense with the little maid and belittling Ling Chu, he decided to scare her.

The old woman was preparing lamp oil at the time, and Dachan suddenly appeared and hit her in the face. In panic, she accidentally knocked over the lamp oil.

The little maid with her was also scared. In a hurry, she knocked over the candle beside her, and happened to ignite the overturned lamp oil, which caused a fire.

After scaring the old woman and maid in the ancestral hall, Dachan swung around and shoveled all the ornamental koi in the pond onto the shore.

The porcelain in the warehouse and the food in the big kitchen were smashed by the small hammer.

As for the lady, because Ling Chu exposed the fact that the prince of Zhao was kept by someone, the maids who served her knew that she was angry with Ling Chu.

Today, when they heard that she smashed the sedan chair again, the maids were scolding her to please the lady.

In a fit of rage, Xiaochui smashed the leg of the maid who cursed the most.

The maid was about to serve tea to the lady, but was hit unexpectedly, and the teacup in her hand flew straight towards her.

The tea, by chance, all hit the lady's arm.

After Guo dealt with those accidents, she returned to the flower hall. Seeing Ling Chu still sitting there leisurely drinking tea, the anger in her heart kept rising.

"Come here, send Aunt Ling to the courtyard of the deceased prince." Although she suspected that those accidents were caused by this bitch, Guo felt that she was just a lowly commoner, and she didn't believe that their first-class Duke's Mansion couldn't control her.

Guo was not in a hurry to torture Ling Chu now. Anyway, after entering her house, there would be many opportunities in the future, and she had countless means to deal with her.

Ling Chu originally thought that Guo would be somewhat taboo about her fate, but she didn't expect that she was wrong.

Seeing that the maids were about to start a fight, Ling Chu took out a small hammer and knocked them over without saying a word.

"Madam, I am not here today to be your concubine, but to ask for the high interest rate for my maid."

Guo's face was cold, "What interest rate? I don't know what you are talking about!"

Ling Chu took out the IOU for the interest rate of Zhou Banqin's family.

"It is illegal to lend money privately. Under the feet of the emperor, in the imperial city, the wife of the Duke of Zhao dared to knowingly commit a crime. If this matter gets out, I wonder how the emperor will punish you, the Duke of Zhao's mansion?"

Guo glanced at the IOU with contempt, "The handwriting on the IOU is not written by me, and there is no my name on it. Do you think you can threaten me by making up something casually?"

Ling Chu smiled playfully, "Didn't the Duke of Zhao lend money privately? But why did I hear rumors that your Zhao's mansion was kind today and didn't want all the money it lent out in order to help those in need.

And the principal and interest that have been collected will be returned. Could it be that I heard it wrong?"

Guo sneered. Is this bitch mentally ill? That's more than 100,000 taels. She would be crazy to not want it.

At this moment, there was a sound of gongs and drums outside the gate of the Zhao's mansion.

The gongs and drums were so loud that Guo frowned.

Ling Chu smiled happily.

Not long after, the gongs and drums stopped. But the gatekeeper suddenly rushed in with sweat all over his forehead, "Madam, it's bad. There are many people outside, they... they said they came to thank you for your kindness."

Guo stared at the servant in confusion.

The servant was so anxious that he was fuming, "Madam, those people said that in order to help them, you didn't want any interest on the loan, and you would return all the money you had collected before."

Guo's face changed, and she cursed subconsciously, "They are just a bunch of low-class people, and they still dare to dream. I will take back all the money.

What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take people to drive them away."

The servant looked sad, "Madam, you can't do that. In order to thank you and the Duke, they are now kneeling in front of the door and kowtowing. And on the way here, they kept beating gongs and drums, making too much noise. In addition to those who borrowed money at interest, there were many onlookers watching."

Guo was furious and turned her head to glare at Ling Chu fiercely, "Did you do that?"

Ling Chu smiled, "Why, didn't Madam just say that the Duke's Mansion did not lend money at interest? So you are fooling me? Madam, instead of questioning me here, you might as well think about how to deal with it.

Lending money at interest is illegal..."

Guo wanted to strangle Ling Chu to death.

The wife of the Duke of Zhao heard about what happened outside and hurriedly asked the maid to come and asked Guo to handle it properly.

The incident was too big, so Guo couldn't just ignore it.

Outside the gate, there were crowds of people, some of whom had borrowed money from a loan shark, and some who had heard the news and came to watch the fun.

When they saw Guo coming in, everyone immediately swarmed around her, thanking the Duke's wife for her kindness.

Listening to the compliments, Guo was furious. But in front of so many people, she couldn't get angry, and had to force herself to smile.
