Chapter 11: Sowing Discord
"Miss, Madame is so good to you, in the past, the things purchased in the house were shared by several young ladies together, but this time I let the young lady pick first. β
"Miss Qinglian is Madame's biological daughter, so it seems that Madame treats Madame better than her own daughter. β
Along the way, Xiuhong kept nagging about Lin's goodness in Gu Shuiyue's ear.
Gu Shuiyue stopped and stared at Xiuhong for a while.
"You take them back to the courtyard first, and I'll walk alone." β
Xiuhong left, and Gu Shuiyue's ears finally became quiet.
Under the vermilion carved corridor, a young woman in a white cloak stood there, staring at the red plum blossoming in the distance, the white frost climbed up her face, the spring rain of March fell into her eyes, and in the depths, there were inexplicable emotions entangled.
Gu Shuiyue's footsteps paused, the woman standing in front of her was none other than the fourth aunt of the Gu Mansion, the Chen family, the only person in this mansion who regarded her as a human being. Gu Shuiyue still has some impressions of this Chen family in her memory, unlike other aunts, the Chen family is not willing to marry into the Gu family. She does not compete for favor, nor is she favored, nor does she have children, her sense of presence in this Gu Mansion is very low, and her life is not much better than the original Gu Shuiyue.
Gu Shuiyue walked over and stood side by side with her.
The two stood silently in the corridor for a moment.
"Watch out for the Great Lady. Chen said in a low voice.
Her voice was very low, and it quickly dissipated in the wind, and Gu Shuiyue turned her head to look at her. A smile bloomed on Chen's cold white jade-like face: "It's getting colder and colder, so the eldest lady should go back early, don't be cold." β
Gu Shuiyue could distinguish between good intentions and bad intentions, even if Chen didn't remind him, Gu Shuiyue knew that Lin was kind on his face and vicious in his heart. Still, she accepted the kindness from Chen. She has always loved and hated clearly, others are good to her, she is also good to others, and others are bad to her, and she will return it twice.
Gu Shuiyue nodded at her and turned to leave.
It wasn't until Gu Shuiyue's figure completely disappeared that Chen turned his head to look at the direction she was leaving, with a hint of expectation on his face.
She had been in this dark Gu Mansion for too long, so long that she thought she was going to rot here, until this Gu Shuiyue appeared, she seemed to see a little light.
A glint of resentment mixed with madness flashed in her eyes, and this light quietly grew in the corner where no one could see.
"Grandmother, that Gu Shuiyue is too arrogant, she really thinks she is a princess, who doesn't know, King Yun can't like her at all, and she will not be favored when she marries into King Yun's mansion. Not only did she take away the silk I liked, but she wanted to live in my yard. Grandmother, you must be the master of Yan'er!"
Gu Qingyan was lying on Old Madam Gu's knees, her eyes were red, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
Old Madam Gu is nearly fifty years old, but her eyebrows are beautiful, and she can vaguely distinguish the elegance of her youth, she stroked Gu Qingyan's head, and said with a look of affection: "Yan'er, who told you these words, Gu Shuiyue asked you for it." β
"She didn't tell me in person, the third sister said that she wanted a yard with mountains and rivers, and only my yard in the whole house was like this, isn't it clear?"
Old Madam Gu suddenly realized, she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to raise this little granddaughter to be such a simple mind: "Yan'er, don't Gu Qing pity what the mother and daughter say, you just think it is, otherwise you won't know if you are used as a gun by others." β
"Grandmother, Yan'er is not so stupid, and the third sister is not lying, she picked up all the things she bought in the mansion today, and Yan'er didn't get any of them!" Gu Qingyan said angrily.
Old Madam Gu thought that Gu Shuiyue was indeed a little uncomfortable, but she didn't want to be Lin's knife yet, so she said, "Yan'er, if you have anything you like, it's good for grandmother to buy it for you." β
Gu Qingyan stood up angrily, how much Mrs. Gu loved her before, and now she also stood on Gu Shuiyue's side, Gu Qingyan felt abandoned by the whole world, so she turned her head and rushed out.
"Grandmother doesn't call the shots for me, I'll go by myself!" Gu Qingyan yelled.
Gu Qingyan left from Old Madam Gu, and went to Gu Shuiyue with a group of people.
"Gu Shuiyue, get out of here with me!"
Gu Shuiyue heard a loud roar, and when she walked out, she saw Gu Qingyan standing outside the door, with five or six servants behind her, looking menacing.
Gu Shuiyue looked at her. She thought that it would be Mrs. Gu who would trouble her next, but she didn't expect it to be Gu Qingyan herself.
"Gu Shuiyue, I'm going to teach you a good lesson today, so that you know who the young lady in this mansion is!" Gu Qingyan said viciously.
"Fourth Miss, don't do this. Xiuhong hurriedly stood up and stood in front of Gu Shuiyue, looking like a protector.
"Get out of here, come on, call me!" Gu Qingyan said angrily.
The subordinates behind her rushed up to catch Gu Shuiyue. Gu Shuiyue's body was almost recovered now, so naturally it was impossible to be restrained, and she quickly dodged the attacks of those subordinates.
Gu Qingyan was so angry that she turned her head and was about to rush towards Gu Shuiyue.
"Fourth Miss, the eldest lady is the fiancΓ©e of King Yun, she seems to have had an accident, and all of us have to die. The embroidered red protector was heartbroken, and directly stabbed Gu Qingyan with a hairpin in his hand.
In a flash of light, Gu Shuiyue finally understood Gu Qinglian's conspiracy.
What kind of person is Old Madam Gu, easily sowing discord can't provoke Old Madam Gu's hatred for her at all, and once Gu Qingyan has an accident and touches Old Madam Gu's bottom line, then Old Madam Gu will never let her go!
The Lin family is indeed much smarter than the Ma family, she wants to get rid of Gu Shuiyue, but she is not stained with blood at all, but wants to borrow the hand of the old lady Gu!
The hairpin in Xiuhong's hand was exactly what she wore on her head, and when it pierced into Gu Qingyan's body, no one could tell.
"Yan'er!" Old Madam Gu screamed in panic.
The whole yard was already in chaos, but now it's even more chaotic!
Gu Shuiyue's hand reached over directly, blocking the hairpin that Xiuhong stabbed at Gu Qingyan, and kicked Xiuhong out with one kick.
Gu Qingyan stood there, completely stunned. A drop of red blood fell to the ground, Gu Qingyan finally reacted, and sat on the ground with a butt.
"Yan'er, my Yan'er. Old Madam Gu hurriedly hugged Gu Qingyan into her arms, a little panicked.
After she was sure that Gu Qingyan was intact, she went to see Gu Shuiyue. I saw that Gu Shuiyue was stabbed into a wound on her hand, and blood was flowing down her fingers. Gu Shuiyue's face was normal, she directly took out the handkerchief in her sleeve and covered the wound on her hand, her movements were very skillful, as if it was not the first time she was injured.
"Xiuhong, you dare to murder your master, what crime should you be guilty of!" Gu Shuiyue's cold gaze fell on Xiuhong.
Xiuhong was kicked very lightly, and her face was completely white.
She already had the chance to win, as long as she stabbed the hairpin into Gu Qingyan's body, the eldest lady would find a good family for her. However, she didn't expect Gu Shuiyue to react so quickly, and the eldest lady asked her not to look down on Gu Shuiyue, and the reason was here. She was already scared stupid, but she deserved to be the big girl who followed the Lin family, and she reacted quickly.
She knelt down towards Gu Shuiyue: "The slave maid saw that the fourth lady was going to hurt the eldest lady, and the protector in her heart wanted to do such an extreme thing, the slave and maid were wrong, please punish the master." β
She protects the Lord, but the way she protects the Lord is a bit extreme. Gu Shuiyue is a smart person, and she has also flattered Gu Shuiyue a lot during this time, making Gu Shuiyue feel that her identity is different from the past. Whether it is Liwei or because of arrogance, Gu Shuiyue should protect her.
Moreover, she is Gu Shuiyue's maid, and everything she does represents Gu Shuiyue's meaning.
Gu Shuiyue looked at Old Madam Gu: "Embroidered red bully, but she was placed by Madame to serve me, I have no right to dispose of her, old lady, what do you think should be done?"
Old Madam Gu's face was already very ugly. When Gu Shuiyue said this, she immediately thought of the joints. She knew that the Lin family wanted to sow discord, but she didn't expect the Lin family to be so bold and dare to hit Gu Qingyan!
The embroidered red's face became even whiter.
"Vainly trying to kill the master, the crime deserves death, come on, drag this girl out and beat her to death!" Old Madam Gu ordered.
Old Madam Gu was angry and killed Xiuhong, just to warn the Lin family.
"What, Xiuhong is dead?" The teacup in Lin's hand fell to the ground, and the hot tea fell to her feet, but she seemed to be unaware.
It was a game she had carefully set up.
The reason why she did this was not only to make the old lady hate Gu Shuiyue. She knew the old lady's methods, if Gu Shuiyue offended the old lady, it would be impossible for her to leave the Gu Mansion alive. There is another reason, she wants to make Gu Shuiyue an obstacle. Gu Shuiyue's temperament changed drastically and killed Gu Qingyu, if Gu Qingyan died at her hands again, it would be demonic possession. When such a reputation spreads, it is no wonder that Yunwangfu does not withdraw from the marriage.
What she didn't expect was that Gu Qingyan was fine, but Xiuhong died. Xiuhong is the smartest girl around her!
Xiuhong died, and the old lady also ordered someone to send Xiuhong's hairpin with the intention of assassinating Gu Qingyan to the Lin family. The implications are complicated. In addition to warning, there are other meanings.
Lin stared at the blood-stained hairpin, looking very uncomfortable. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to kill Gu Shuiyue, but she didn't expect that she offended Old Madam Gu and got a warning.
"Mother, what should I do now?" Gu Qinglian was also a little worried.
"Sure enough, I still looked down on Gu Shuiyue. Lin said, a vicious meaning flashed in his eyes, "No matter what, Gu Shuiyue can't stay!"
