After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him

The people he placed in the house could never get close to Qu because of the maids who came with her as dowry.

Keeping these girls will cause a lot of inconvenience in the future.

It would be best if we could eradicate them one by one.

Since he has this opportunity today, he must not miss it!

Thinking of this, Wen Hongshen spoke.

"Since my cousin's mother doesn't believe Hong Shen, then Hong Shen has nothing else to say. However, your partiality today really hurts Hong Shen's heart... It seems that there is no need for Hong Shen to live at home."

After saying this, Wen Hongshen bowed deeply to Qu.

"Thank you for your care over the years, aunt. Hong Shen is leaving now!"

He turned and walked out, full of confidence.

Qu was a pushover and treated him as well as her own children.

She absolutely couldn't bear to see the person she had watched grow up leave.

He was confident that Qu would call him, so he walked very slowly.

As soon as Qu called him, he brought up the old matter again and forced Qu to choose between Ginkgo and himself.

however……

One step, two steps, three steps...

Wen Hongshen had already walked to the door, but Qu Shi had not called him yet.

He couldn't turn back at this moment, so he could only grit his teeth and continue walking out.

But until he walked out of the gate and returned to his own courtyard, he didn't hear a single word from Qu.

Damn it! Is Qu crazy?

Could she really bear to leave on her own?

Or, is she really aware of her identity?

Wen Hongshen's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

He walked into the study in two steps and took out a letter from home from a box on the bookcase.

The letters from home were all intact inside, with no signs of having been opened.

Of course, he didn't know that Ginkgo was very meticulous in his work. After taking the letter back, he deliberately returned it to its original place without any mistakes.

Wen Hongshen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the letter from home had not been touched.

Qu didn't call him. I think she also had some doubts about Ginkgo, so she wanted to find out the whole story before coming to find him.

However, Ginkgo could not escape the charge of theft, as he had already placed the wolf-hair brush under Ginkgo's pillow.

Thinking of this, Wen Hongshen sat upright at the desk in the study, waiting for Qu to come to him with an apology.

……

In Qu's room.

After Wen Hongshen left, Qu said, "Ginkgo, get up and take me to your room."

Ginkgo's eyes opened slightly.

"Ma'am, you don't believe me?"

"It is because I trust you that I asked you to take me with you. Let's go quietly so as not to alarm others."

"Yes……"

Ginkgo agreed, but her heart was full of doubts.

If you trust her, why do you go to her room?

Soon, the two of them avoided others and came to Ginkgo's room.

She was Qu's maid and had her own independent little house.

The cottage is tidy and you can tell that he is a clean and self-disciplined person.

Because the room was tidy and clean, the two of them quickly found the small wolf-hair brush.

Just put it under Ginkgo's pillow.

"lady……"

Ginkgo's legs went limp and he knelt on the ground.

"I didn't take that pen, and I don't know why it appeared here, Madam, please believe me!"

"Ginkgo, get up. I believe you. This pen must have been placed here by Wen Hongshen, who wanted to frame you."

Qu stretched out her hand and helped Ginkgo up.

Ginkgo still had tears on her face. She felt relieved when she heard this. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why did he want to frame me? I've never been disrespectful to him."

"That's because you are too loyal. If you leave, he will be able to place someone else to serve me. Then everything about me will be controlled by him."

As Qu spoke, she broke the small wolf-hair brush.

Ginkgo was shocked when he heard this.

"I didn't expect my cousin to be so scheming! You usually take good care of him, but he treats you like this!"

"Because he wants to pave the way for his biological mother!"

Ginkgo was so angry that his teeth were about to break.

If the Madam doesn't believe her about what happened today, both she and the Madam will be in crisis.

After a moment of silence, Qu said, "Ginkgo."

"The slave is here!"

"Take a few taels of silver to Wen Hongshen and help him pack his luggage. Just tell him... I made him sad. Since he wants to leave, I don't have the face to stop him. This few taels of silver is my gift for his travel expenses. After giving it to him, you can send him away!"

Ginkgo's eyes lit up and he answered with a resounding "Yes!"

……

Tingfeng Courtyard.

Wen Hongshen sat quietly practicing calligraphy while waiting for Qu to come.

He seemed calm, but his messy handwriting betrayed his inner thoughts.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Wen Hongshen was delighted.

coming.

He knew that Qu treated him like her own son and would never bear to let him leave the Hundred Households Mansion and wander alone outside.

Is this not?

Isn’t it here now?

He coughed dryly and continued to pretend to concentrate on practicing calligraphy.

"Cousin?"

Ginkgo's voice came from outside the door.

Wen Hongshen was slightly stunned.

Why is it not Qu, but that girl?

Could it be that Qu couldn't bear to part with this girl and wanted her to come and apologize to him so that he could let the matter go?

Wen Hongshen's expression turned grim.

Just pass it by? Not that easy!

Qu must choose between him and that lowly maid!

Moreover, if Qu wanted him to stay, she would not only have to sell the maid, but also apologize to him in person, so that he would reluctantly forgive her and stay.

Wen Hongshen put down his pen and calmed his breathing.

"Come in!"

Ginkgo steps in.

"My cousin is safe and sound."

Wen Hongshen gently lifted his eyelids.

"Where's Madame?"

"If she really wanted me to stay, she should come here in person instead of asking you to come here."

"Also, no matter what you say, I will never forgive you for stealing."

"I, Wen Hongshen, never look at someone's background, but only at his character."

"Ginkgo, I'm sorry I can't agree with your character."

"Whether you want to explain or beg for mercy, I won't listen to a single word."

"So you should just go back! Instead of wasting time begging for my forgiveness, why not go back and tell your wife everything I said."

Wen Hongshen said this, just waiting for Ginkgo to kneel down and beg for mercy.

He believed that Qu had sent someone to check Ginkgo's room.

The evidence is conclusive. Even if Ginkgo has an explanation in his heart, it cannot be washed away even by jumping into the Yellow River.

However, after Wen Hongshen finished speaking, he did not see Ginkgo crying bitterly.

On the contrary, he clearly saw that the corner of Ginkgo's mouth twitched visibly, revealing a very incredible expression.

"What's your expression?"

"Don't you know how to repent?"

"You are really... hopeless!"

"It's a pity that my aunt trusted you so much!"
