Chapter 1126: Chapter 1125: She Is the One Everyone Curries Favor With
Madam He calmly listened to Chu Xiran’s explanation and said, "So that’s how it is. How could the young lady be so careless? Look, she’s even bleeding."
The servants in the old mansion were all cunning like foxes.
Even though they knew that Gong Qingwan was responsible, they still changed the story.
It was as if all of this was Chu Xiran’s own doing.
Chu Xiran felt aggrieved, but she couldn’t say much. She listened to Madam He’s arrangements and said, "Someone, hurry in and bring the young lady medicine!"
As soon as the call was made, the servants waiting at the door rushed in. They knew exactly what was going on but didn’t say a word.
They eagerly supported Chu Xiran and said, "Young lady, let’s go!"
Chu Xiran looked back at Gong Qingwan and said, "Aunt... I’ll come back to see you later..."
In her heart and eyes, there was only Gong Qingwan.
Even with her weak body, she had to endure patiently.
Gong Qingwan lazily lifted her eyelids, thinking that this child was too hypocritical!
After all the years she’d been with Chu Xiran, she hadn’t learned anything good, but her fawning skills were perfectly honed.
Gong Qingwan waved her hand and said, "Go on!"
Once the words were spoken, Chu Xiran followed the servants out with an embarrassed look.
...
After Chu Xiran left,
The room fell silent.
Gong Qingwan rubbed her temples and said, "Summon the daughters of the Gong Family."
The Gong Family...
Those were the young ladies that Madam always looked down upon, complaining they were taught to be arrogant.
"Madam, your health is what’s most important now..." Madam He sighed but did not hesitate and quickly set about the task.
She understood that Gong Qingwan’s purpose was to demonstrate the seriousness to Chu Qinyou and Chu Xiran!
Through practical actions, she was showing them that the Chu Family was not irreplaceable; the Gong Family’s children could also step up at any time.
Whoever Gong Qingwan wished to elevate, she could elevate them!
Regardless of power or influence, it was useless.
Indeed, old ginger is spicier...
Gong Qingwan collapsed onto the sofa and closed her eyes tightly. Her head was about to explode with pain. She said, "I don’t want to be this exhausted, but there’s no choice."
No one under her command was reliable, even her own niece, whose mind was filled with schemes against her.
Gong Qingwan had occupied this position for many years; how could she not know that true feelings had long ceased to exist?
Madam He circled behind her and pressed her shoulders, saying, "Madam, you’ve labored for so many years, what’s the point..."
What was the point of fighting for this position, of antagonizing Li Yan?
Was it all just for the money...
No one knew Gong Qingwan better than Madam He, no one was closer to her than Madam He.
Yet...
Even Madam He couldn’t see through Gong Qingwan, let alone anyone else.
"There’s not so much ’what’s the point,’ nor so many ’because.’ I want to do this, so I’ll continue."
Gong Qingwan flashed a cold smile and continued, "Madam He, you know, I can’t fall. If I do, it would be self-destructive."
No one would tolerate her.
Even though she had just put on a pitiful act as if nothing mattered, Chu Xiran would still not care a bit.
As long as Gong Qingwan remained in her position, she was the one everyone wanted to curry favor with.
But if she fell! It would be like a tree falling with monkeys scattering, a wall collapsing with crowds pushing it down.
