I’m worth hundreds of millions, what’s wrong with having hundreds of millions of vests?

Chapter 244 Although some people in our Gu family are not good people...

Wang Ma's hands clenched her apron: "Miss Ji, she...she..."

However, Wang Ma stopped talking just as she started, stammering and unable to utter a word. She bit her lips tightly, holding her apron tightly and staring at her toes.

This action of hers made the sharp-eyed Ye Wan notice at a glance a faint red mark on her hand, the color seemed to have been covered by foundation.

Maybe it's because I have to wash my hands many times when cooking, so it was washed off a little, but you won't notice it unless you look carefully.

Ye Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, touched Shen Qingzhou's hand on her waist, and tapped it gently.

The man beside her felt her movement, turned around and met Ye Wan's gaze with some confusion.

Ye Wan gently stroked the same area on his hand as the red mark on Wang Ma's body, then raised her chin slightly towards Wang Ma, motioning him to look there.

Naturally, Shen Qingzhou understood her intention instantly and immediately looked at Wang Ma's hand. When he looked at it, he noticed the red mark.

He turned back and nodded to Ye Wan, then spoke to Wang Ma: "Wang Ma, how did you get the scar on your hand?"

After all, it is a matter concerning the inner residence of the Gu family. It is not easy for Ye Wan to bring it up, so she will say it herself.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ma was stunned, and then she covered the back of her hand as if to hide her mistake.

"I..." Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on the back of her hand, she lowered her head and thought for a while, then said to Lin Yueqian, "Can you let the young lady go out and I'll talk to you later?"

"Grandma Wang~ There's no need to say this behind my back~" Gu Xiyue sat on Gu Lingjing's lap, her legs swinging as she spoke. She looked like an innocent child of her age.

However, the words she said were somewhat incompatible with her age: "Grandma Wang, you also know that I will inherit the family business in the future. I have seen too many such means. Don't be afraid that I can't accept it~"

After that, she changed the subject: "As for how you got this scar, it's up to you whether you tell us or not, but you have to remember who pays you your salary."

These words were rather ruthless, and Wang Ma resigned herself to her fate and moved her left hand away from the back of her hand.

"It was Miss Ji..." Aunt Wang sighed and lowered her eyebrows. She gently stroked the red mark with her hand and said in a deep voice, "She is quite picky about food. Some of the dishes I cooked at that time were not to her liking. She spilled the food and got burned."

When Ye Wan heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

The area where Wang Ma was burned was closer to the thumb and index finger, which means that Ji Fu most likely knocked the food over into Wang Ma's hand when she was holding the food. Another possibility is that she simply poured the food directly into Wang Ma's hand.

No matter which possibility it was, whether it was wasting food or bullying people, she had gone too far in this matter.

The maid just now didn't mention the incident of Wang Ma being scalded, probably because it was said before that Ji Fu would eat in the room when only she and her uncle were there.

And Aunt Wang was the unlucky number two who was implicated by her unhappiness when she brought her food.

This Ji Fu is quite interesting.

She has only been in the Gu family for a few days. She doesn't know much about her uncle, but Gu Sui has never introduced anyone in the Gu family except her uncle. Yet she dares to attack an old man in the Gu family. I don't know why she is so fearless. Does she think of herself as the mistress of the Gu family?

Ye Wan glanced at the faces of the other people present, and sure enough, most of them had a hint of anger on their faces.

It was normal that the expression on the face of the person who was already asleep did not change. It was a bit strange that Mr. Gu, who had just said that he did not like Ji Fu, was still drinking tea calmly after hearing this.

After all, Mr. Gu has a very bad temper. Logically, he should have started scolding Ji Fu by now.

Could it be that his recent trip has calmed him both physically and mentally?

Ye Wanyou and Xu Ai looked at Mr. Gu in confusion, and found that the water level of the cup of tea in his hand that Lin Yueqian had just filled had not dropped at all.

Ye Wan gently poked Shen Qingzhou's hand on her waist and was about to ask him to drag Old Man Gu into the water, but Gu Lingjing beside Old Man Gu spoke to Old Man Gu before they did: "Grandpa, you just told my dad that you don't like Ji Fu, is it because you have already seen that he is such a person?"

Before Grandpa Gu could respond, he saw the cup with the same amount of water as Ye Wan, and poured another cup to Grandpa Gu, replacing the cup in his hand. There was a hint of teasing in his tone: "Grandpa, you'd better not drink this cup. I feel like there's something wrong with this cup. I've been drinking for a long time and it's not even a little bit less."

After he finished speaking, he was glared at by Mr. Gu: "You are the only one with a big mouth?"

Everyone laughed, and Aunt Wang, who had been nervous all the time, seemed to relax a little.

Since the master's family didn't like Ji Fu either, she, who was always bullied by Ji Fu, would not be fired and face the dilemma of finding a job in middle age.

It was also because the Gu family was generous. Since he could say in front of a servant that he didn't like Ji Fu, he would not hesitate to fight back when Ji Fu made things difficult for him. Or it was because he had the support of the Gu family, Ji Fu learned to restrain herself and no longer had the opportunity to make things difficult for him. In serious cases, he would even be kicked out of the Gu family.

Thinking of this, a genuine smile finally appeared on Wang Ma's face.

Seeing Wang Ma like this, Mr. Gu didn't care about his embarrassment just now. He smiled at her and said slowly: "Little Wang."

"You have been working in our Gu family for so many years, you should know that although some people in our Gu family are not good people..." He glanced in the direction of Shen Qingzhou, but quickly retracted his gaze and continued, "But the family tradition is still very good. At least everyone has the three views they should have. Not just any Tom, Dick or Harry can become my granddaughter-in-law."

Shen Qingzhou:? "No? Grandpa, were you talking about me just now?"

"What else?" Old Master Gu rolled his eyes, as if he was a dirty thing and didn't even look at him. "Don't you know who you are? If Wanwan hadn't married you, I wouldn't have let you into the house."

Shen Qingzhou:? It seems like this stinky grandpa doesn’t quite understand what kind of person my wife is.

Before Shen Qingzhou could refute again, Mr. Gu looked at Wang Ma again: "Xiao Wang, you can go back first. Don't worry, she won't have the chance to make things difficult for you again in the future."

Aunt Wang stood up, tears welling in her eyes, and bowed deeply to Mr. Gu: "Thank you, Master."

Seeing her about to go back to the kitchen, Lin Yueqian stopped her with some concern: "Auntie Wang, in your condition... can you still cook? If not, it's okay to let someone else do it."

Aunt Wang shook her head with a deep smile on her face, even the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes spread out: "Don't worry Miss Yue Qian, it's okay, I applied medicine, it's almost healed, and it doesn't hurt, it just looks scary. That's why I covered it up."

Seeing Lin Yueqian nodded, Aunt Wang turned around and prepared to go back to the kitchen, but turned back halfway.

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, she hesitated for a while, hesitating: "There is one more thing..." She glanced at Ye Wan and Shen Qingzhou who were pressed together, "I don't know whether I should say it..."

Ye Wan and Shen Qingzhou looked at each other, eyebrows slightly raised. Although she and Shen Qingzhou had their own rooms in Gu's house, they rarely lived in Gu's house before or after marriage. How could they have their own affairs here?

Shen Qingzhou asked directly: "What's the matter?"

"It's just... I sometimes see Miss Ji lingering around your room door. Before, because it was on the same floor as Miss Ji's room, I didn't pay much attention to it. I just thought she just happened to walk there."

As she spoke, Wang Ma's hands unconsciously clenched a little, "But I saw her yesterday trying to open Miss Wan's door, but she failed because it was probably locked. When I went over, she glared at me fiercely and went back to her room without saying anything."

Shen Qingzhou nodded: "I understand, you can go down."
