Chapter 2616: Aiding and Abetting Evil

At that moment, suddenly, there was the sound of clashing weapons outside.

And Xiao Jiu’s voice cheering: "Come on, come on, kill that wicked old woman! Let her stop aiding the tyrant."

The two of them didn’t know what was happening outside, and while they were staring at each other, they suddenly felt a violent tremor on the roof.

Immediately after, a dark shadow crashed down from the roof...

Roof tiles clattered down continuously...

Frightened, Gu Lingqiao screamed, wrapping her arms tightly around Lin Kong’s waist.

Lin Kong glared disgustedly at Gu Lingqiao in his embrace. Time was pressing, and if they delayed a second longer, their lives would be at risk. He couldn’t worry about so much and, taking Gu Lingqiao with him, leapt to avoid the falling roof tiles and the dark shadow.

"Master, I apologize for my tardiness, please forgive me."

Suddenly, a woman’s voice echoed in the room.

The two of them focused and saw that it was the Old Maid.

Gu Lingqiao was puzzled and blurted out, "Nanny, why are you here?"

The Old Maid glared at her with her triangular eyes and said grimly, "Of course Miss Gu wouldn’t want me to come, then no one would expose your plots and schemes."

Gu Lingqiao felt a bit guilty, and her gaze wavered as she said, "Nanny, what are you saying? I don’t understand."

Old Maid: "Keep pretending, I’ll tell the Master all about your plots and schemes."

"What? So petty, isn’t it just because I made you drink some laxative?" Gu Lingqiao mumbled, pouting.

The Old Maid looked at Lin Kong and said, "Master, did you know? The little kid in this woman’s belly is not yours."

"What? What did you say? Say it again." Lin Kong’s expression seemed shocked.

"It’s true, I’ve already found out. It’s the Prince’s. This little cheap person dares to blame this bastard on you, Master. She truly deserves to die." The Old Maid said through gritted teeth.

Gu Lingqiao nearly fainted at this news. What on earth happened? Why is this Old Maid framing her?

Recovering, Gu Lingqiao couldn’t help but fly into a rage, cursing the Old Maid: "Old witch, stop talking nonsense. I’ve tolerated you for a long time. Usually acting outrageously in front of me is one thing, but today in front of Brother Kong, you’re still talking rubbish. Do you believe I won’t tear your smelly mouth apart?"

Last time Xiao Jiu said the Old Maid beat her up, and she hasn’t settled that score yet. Now she’s slandering, saying the little kid in her belly isn’t the Master’s. Isn’t she trying to kill her? This Old Maid is truly malicious.

"What, you think after serving you for two days, you’re the Master now? Don’t be afraid to tell you, my Master will always be the State Preceptor."

Finally, the Old Maid looked down on Gu Lingqiao and said, "A lowly person like you doesn’t deserve it."

Gu Lingqiao: "Oh...! Brother Kong, she... how could she insult your Tingting? Tingting is carrying your child! Quickly punish her. She’s too outrageous, disrespectful. How will Tingting command respect when she marries into the National Adviser’s Mansion?"

The Old Maid couldn’t help but laugh: "With your lowly status, wanting to climb up to our Master? Try in your next life."

It turned out that this Gu Lingqiao’s real name was Tingting, and she came from an ordinary family. Once, while Lin Kong was eating outside, he saw a large crowd gathered, and inside was a beautiful young girl dressed in rags, with a stinking corpse next to her. On the ground was written that she was selling herself to bury her father.

Lin Kong felt compassion and casually threw ten taels of silver onto the ground, considering it a good deed of the day.
