The two of them had just walked to the kitchen door when they heard Auntie Cao’s incredulous voice.
"What did you say? What nonsense are you spouting?"
Auntie Cao’s words were filled with surprise, as if she could not believe what she had heard at all.
Qiao Nian and Gu Zhou looked at each other, then moved closer to the kitchen door to continue eavesdropping.
"I’m spouting nonsense? Heh, let me tell you, I’m the most awake now!"
This was a man’s voice. His voice was a little old, and his tone was filled with displeasure, as if he didn’t agree with Auntie Cao at all.
Qiao Nian pursed her lips slightly. She had a feeling that the two people in the kitchen were talking about Lu Qi.
Bam—
A crisp slap resounded throughout the room.
After a few more seconds, Auntie Cao’s angry voice came from the kitchen. "Is there something wrong with your brain? What you’re saying is all nonsense. I’m telling you, quickly shut up. I’ll go and confess to Matriarch!"
"Confess? What are you talking about?" The man sounded anxious. "I came to tell you this tonight. I just wanted to say that I’m leaving. I just feel that I’ve let you down for the rest of my life..."
Auntie Cao’s sobbing voice came from the kitchen. "You’re really muddle-headed. How could you leave me alone? How could you do such a thing? I don’t want you to leave. Don’t worry, I’ll confess. For the sake of our past relationship, Matriarch will definitely forgive me. I might not have the good days I have now, but you’re different. You can still be the butler. As long as you’re no longer muddle-headed, nothing will happen to us."
"No, it’s too late." The man didn’t seem to agree with Auntie Cao’s suggestion.
"It’s not too late. As long as I take the initiative to confess, it’s not too late."
"It’s useless for you to help me confess. The young masters are so smart. They’ll definitely find out that I was the one who did it. When that happens, they’ll definitely be even angrier. Stay here. You’ll definitely be doing well by Matriarch’s side."
