During this period, Lord Lai was severely troubled by the matters of the Old Gu Family, especially since he highly valued his descendants. The situation regarding Gu Chengzhi pushed him to the brink of collapse.
He restrained the urge to shout and asked Steward Yue expectantly, "The situation with Chengzhi is false, right? You're deceiving me, aren't you? He's fine; he's a normal child!"
Upon hearing this, Steward Yue looked at Lord Lai silently for a long time before asking him, "Are you accusing me of deceit, my lord?"
He had been working with Lord Lai for ten years, and although he wouldn't call it selling his soul, he had always been diligent and never messed up any task.
However, Lord Lai seemed to have lost even the most basic trust in him.
Without trust between a steward and his lord, what's the point of continuing? Better to split and go separate ways.
