Chapter 1846: 1846. Gu Xia Extra Chapter (48)

"Young Master."

After sending Dr. Shen away, Chen Ma carefully entered the room, knowing that the young master must have something to ask her.

Gu Junhang’s gaze settled on both of her swollen cheeks.

Chen Ma was getting old, her skin wasn’t very smooth and delicate, and was somewhat dark. However, the finger marks on her cheeks were still clearly visible.

At this moment, both sides were swollen.

In the Gu family, only a few people would dare to strike Chen Ma.

Gu Junhang’s eyes deepened as he asked:

"What happened to your face?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ma instinctively raised her hand to cover her face, with no intention of complaining.

She was a servant, although she had raised Gu Junhang. She always kept her place as a servant, never boasting about it in front of Gu Junhang, nor instigating the already poor relationship between him and his mother.

Hearing Gu Junhang’s question, she replied:

"It’s nothing, I just accidentally hit the staircase handrail when I was assisting the young mistress."

Because her face was swollen, her speech was somewhat unclear, as if she had a stone in her mouth.

Gu Junhang’s eyes darkened, "Chen Ma, I don’t like being lied to."

His stern gaze locked onto Chen Ma’s evasive eyes, his voice deepening, "Tell the truth!"

Gu Junhang seldom spoke harshly to Chen Ma. He saw her not as a servant, but as an elder.

Thus, this time, when he spoke with such a heavy tone, Chen Ma could not help but feel frightened.

Upon looking at the still unconscious young mistress lying on the bed, Chen Ma knew that even if she didn’t say anything, the young master would eventually learn the truth.

With that in mind, she confessed truthfully:

"It was... it was Madam who hit me."

Gu Junhang’s pupils constricted, as coldness and anger collided in his dark eyes.

"Tell me the details."

The coldness in Gu Junhang’s eyes intensified. His temperatureless gaze fell on Chen Ma’s face as he said:

"I want to know all the details of tonight’s incident, without any omissions."

Chen Ma hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Then, she told Gu Junhang in detail about the altercation between Xue Lan and Xia Yumo that night.

This included how Xue Lan demanded Qi Xiao’s card from Xia Yumo and how Xia Yumo was knocked unconscious by Xue Lan. She also detailed how Xue Lan desperately tried to wake Xia Yumo up.

Gu Junhang’s body temperature grew colder and colder.

Especially when he saw the slap mark on Chen Ma’s face that was originally meant for Xia Yumo, the temperature in his eyes dropped to freezing.

After a long time, he said to Chen Ma:

"I got it, you go rest first."

"Yes, Young Master."

Chen Ma took one last worried glance at Gu Junhang before she turned and left the room.

After Chen Ma left, Gu Junhang sat down beside Xia Yumo.

Seeing her pale face and the swollen bump on her forehead, he felt so distressed that he could hardly breathe.

Thinking of the clear finger marks on Chen Ma’s face, he could imagine the force of the slap that was originally meant for his wife.

At this thought, the coldness in Gu Junhang’s eyes increased even more.

He felt some regret, regret that he hadn’t insisted on her moving out of the Gu residence before he left home that day. If she had gone back to her own apartment or anywhere else, it would have been safer than staying at the Gu residence.

Before Dr. Shen’s examination was complete, his heart was filled with fear.
