Chapter Seventy-Four: The Temptation of the Great Lady
"Miss, you're finally awake. As soon as Lu Shui saw Gu Zhirong sitting up from the bed, he stepped forward quickly, and while hanging up the curtain, he kept saying like pouring beans in his mouth: "Miss, don't you know, something big happened today." ”
"What's wrong?" Gu Zhirong frowned slightly, the exciting revenge journey from yesterday morning to this morning replayed in her mind. She thought about every detail, except for being almost caught by the patrol sergeant, the whole "crime" process was perfect, and she didn't know which link went wrong.
Lu Shui was still chattering: "Miss, the slave maid heard the news in the outer courtyard early in the morning, and now the streets and alleys of the capital have spread all over the city, saying that Abi was found early this morning and thrown in the stinky ditch at the head of the village, not only naked, but also a man like her next to him, the two slept together and slept soundly." The grandmother who got up early to find out about this almost fainted when she saw it, and shouted desperately, not only the whole village was alarmed, but even several people from the next village came to watch the excitement...... Hahaha, I'm laughing to death. ”
The more Lu Shui spoke, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but squat on the ground and hold his stomach and laugh.
Mu Jin walked in with a copper basin of water to wash Gu Zhirong, and when she saw the appearance of green water, she couldn't help but smile and scolded: "Look at this girl is getting more and more crazy, as the so-called evil has evil retribution, the time has not come, and now Abi is not happy to be retributed, what's so strange about this." ”
She approached Gu Zhirong, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Miss is careful, and she does things well, and she hasn't shown a flaw in this matter until now." Listening to the rumors outside, there are more people who clap their hands and applaud, presumably Abi's brother and sister-in-law are not treated well in the neighborhood on weekdays, but now that she has fallen into this situation, the people in the village are gloating. But Miss is still careful, I heard that Abi's brother and sister-in-law came to beg the eldest lady in a panic early in the morning, according to the eldest lady's temperament, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be tempted, and the young lady must think of a way to deal with it first. ”
Gu Zhirong nodded, and she looked at Mu Jin approvingly. This girl is really thoughtful. If you say that in recent times, who has had the deepest holiday with Abi is, of course, himself, because Abi once framed himself, and now Abi has such a thing, it is obvious that he has been made like this at a glance, and most people will suspect him.
However, in order to really confirm her crimes, she also needs evidence, and she can guarantee that the eldest lady will not get any evidence.
"Mu Jin, you go over the treasure cabinet at the back and bring the dark green bottle on the top. Gu Zhirong commanded.
Mu Jin's eyes lit up, nodded, took it and handed it to Gu Zhirong.
Gu Zhirong poured out some, applied it to his face, and then drank some, still letting Mu Jin put it back in place. Then he asked Mu Jin, Lu Shui, Cai Qing, Snow Goose, Jade Cicada and others to come over and give advice.
It didn't take long to hear someone outside report loudly: "Fifth Miss, the eldest lady has come to see you." ”
Snow Goose Lushui hurriedly rushed to the courtyard to greet the eldest lady. Cai Qing and Jade Cicada worked together to help Gu Zhirong get up and change her clothes.
The eldest lady walked straight in with Cai's mother, Cai Qing and Jade Cicada hurriedly knelt down and saluted, Gu Zhirong leaned on the side of the bed, panting and said: "Uncle Niang, please forgive my niece for being rude, my niece is a sick person, I am afraid that she will be too sick to be too big uncle, so Uncle Niang should go to the hall to talk." ”
Seeing that Gu Zhirong's face was pale, her lips were chapped and bloodshot, and there were several extraordinarily large blisters on her face, Cai's mother felt disgusted when she saw it, and she was really worried that the illness would pass on her, so she hurriedly said to the eldest lady: "Big lady, the slave maid sees that these five girls are really sick, and this illness will not be better for a while, let's go to the hall and talk." ”
The eldest lady didn't seem to hear Cai's mother's words, walked straight over, and actually helped Gu Zhirong to lie down with her own hands: "You are sick, don't be so polite, lie down quickly." His words were gentle, as if Gu Zhirong was his own daughter.
Gu Zhirong was stunned for a moment, looked at the eldest lady fixedly, and said for a while: "Thank you, auntie." ”
The eldest lady tucked the quilt for her: "Look at your child, they are all a family, how can you be so polite? Why haven't you seen this for a few days, this face has actually lost a circle, how can this hand be skinny?"
That eyes were full of distress.
Gu Zhirong's tears burst out of his eyes, and he choked up: "Niece...... The niece thanks the eldest aunt for her concern, but the niece is like this now, and I am afraid that the birthday of the concubine will not be able to go. ”
The eldest lady patted her hand: "Good boy, don't think so much. Yesterday, what did your second sister say to me, saying that at the last group meeting, the third prince blamed your second sister and fourth sister for not bringing her sister well, so this time you must go to the banquet of the concubine Niangniang, and you must be in the limelight like last time to win glory for our Yuanning Marquis Mansion. ”
Gu Zhirong looked at the eldest lady gratefully: "It's just that my niece looks like this now.......
Looking at the extra few huge pus on Gu Zhirong's clean forehead, the eldest lady frowned slightly, but still said: "Don't worry about this, you child, just like your mother, your mind is too heavy, now you don't have to think about anything, just take care of it." Regarding your illness, Imperial Doctor Hu in the palace has already handed over a note, saying that to cure your illness as soon as possible, you have to find a strange doctor, called Wu Yang, I heard that this person specializes in treating incurable diseases, and there is no strange case that cannot be cured by him. After noon tomorrow, I will ask Cai's mother to take you over, and I will definitely be able to take care of your illness. ”
Gu Zhirong's face showed a look of joy, she stood up, the pus on her forehead was one step closer to the eldest lady, she grabbed the eldest lady's hand mercilessly: "Uncle, my niece is very grateful, if I can cure my niece's strange illness, my niece will definitely be filial to my eldest aunt in the future......"
The eldest lady endured it for a while, but finally withdrew her hand, and she stood up: "You take care of it, and if you need anything, just tell the kitchen." I have instructed the kitchen to respond to the requests of Miss Five, and to do whatever she wants, without reporting to me. ”
Gu Zhirong cried: "Thank you, auntie." ”
At this time, Cai's mother had retreated outside to wait, and when the eldest lady saw that she had finished explaining, she stood up: "You take care of it, and I will come to see you in two days." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Gu Zhirong hurriedly asked the green water to be sent to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady walked out of the yard and walked for a while, then stopped, turned her head slightly sideways and asked Cai's mother on the side: "What have you found?"
