Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Clouds Rise
The candle flame on the candlestick was scorching and jumping, reflecting the two strings of tears that slipped on Gu Yuqing's pale face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The eyelashes that looked like a feather fan trembled uncontrollably, and tears flowed down her cheeks, as if they could not flow endlessly.
In the previous life, he was forced to death by Xiao Duo and Gu Yuhe together, and Gu Yuqing was not as sad and breathless as he is now.
Although she was in great grief in her heart, Gu Yuqing knew that she had more important things to do tonight, and she had to cheer up.
Letting the tears flow freely for about a cup of tea, Gu Yuqing finally wiped away the tears with a handkerchief, and glanced at Gu Yuhe, who was sitting on the ground and curled up in a ball, Gu Yuqing got up and prepared to leave.
When he got up, his sleeves swept over the tea cup on the small table, and the tea cup slid over the edge of the table, "clanging" to the ground, the tea in the cup that had been cold splashed everywhere, and the tea cup was also broken into countless pieces and scattered on the ground.
Such a voice suddenly sounded in the originally silent room, and for Gu Yuhe, it was tantamount to a thunderbolt directly above her head.
Gu Yuhe's frightened heart suddenly couldn't stand it, and he wanted to raise his eyes to see Gu Yuqing, and had the courage to ask her why he wanted to ask her like that, but before the words could be spoken, the person fainted and fell to the ground.
Gu Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and looked down at Gu Yuhe who was planted at her feet, and the light in her eyes was dim.
After a long time, he finally took a deep breath and sighed slowly, raised his feet and left, and his eyes were already clear when he left.
Smart people are always easier to get out of a predicament than ordinary people.
The moment Gu Yuqing opened the door of the house, a cold wind blew on her face, and the cold wind carried a thick moisture, and the moisture was mixed with the fragrance of flowers, which made people feel transparent.
I don't know when the wind outside turned out to be so strong.
Instructed the maid who was waiting outside to take care of Gu Yuhe, Gu Yuqing walked along the corridor to the flower hall, and along the way, his eyes fell to the sky along the swaying branches, and just as a bright lightning bolt split the sky, illuminating the sky white.
It's another stormy night, and it looks like the rain will be no less intense tonight than last night.
"Miss, why did you come out like this, and you didn't add a single piece of clothing. Jixiang brought a cloak and hurried after him.
When Gu Yuqing heard the auspicious voice, she paused and looked back at her.
The lightning swept through the sky, and in the dazzling white light, Ji Xiang suddenly felt that Gu Yuqing was extremely thin, her slender waist was full of hands, and her already small face and chin became more and more pointed.
Jixiang's nose was sour, and he hurried to catch up.
It would be nice if Madame was still here, why should Mademoiselle be like this.
With his mind crossed his mind, Ji Xiang had already walked to Gu Yuqing's side and carefully put on the cloak for her.
"When did you come back?," Gu Yuqing asked as she tightened her cloak, and walked towards the flower hall with her steps under her feet.
Jixiang followed Gu Yuqing's side and replied: "Mama Zhao has been killed with a cane, and the slave maid ordered someone to wrap her in a straw mat and throw her to the mass grave in the suburbs, and the bloodstains in the courtyard on the east side have also been cleaned up, and the slave and maid have just returned." ”
"I saw from afar that you were not wearing a cloak, so you wore a single coat and walked in the cloister, and the slave and maid went back to the house to get the cloak and hurried over. When the slave maid returned to the house, she met Mama Huang who was also going in, and Mama Huang said that she would take the second lady back to the ancestral house tonight. ”
Looking up at the weather, Ji Xiang said softly: "It looks like it's going to rain a lot, Mama Huang is old after all, or let the slave send the second lady over." ”
Gu Yuqing didn't worry about Mama Huang.
It's just that she knows in her heart that Mama Huang has already made up her mind, and it is useless for her to say anything more.
Unless she presses her as a young lady, she must obey, but...... Gu Yuqing couldn't do that kind of thing.
Fortunately, Fengtai is not too far, and it is a big road from Kyoto to Fengtai all the way, and the road is easy to walk.
With a sigh in her heart, Gu Yuqing shook her head, "No need, you have other things to do." ”
Gu Yuqing said so, and Ji Xiang didn't say much.
After a few turns, they arrived at the flower hall, and when they entered, the kumquat and green chrysanthemum were already waiting inside
Looking at the kumquat green chrysanthemum's loose hair and untidy clothes, Gu Yuqing knew that they followed Gu Yuhe all the way back to Tongyuan from the east side courtyard, and they didn't have time to freshen up.
Seeing Gu Yuqing coming in, Kumquat Green Ju hurriedly saluted Gu Yuqing.
Gu Yuqing was in the flower hall, accustomed to sitting in the second place, and the vacant main seat was covered with her mother's favorite creamy yellow cushion embroidered with begonias.
And today, her eyes fell on the burning begonias, Gu Yuqing only felt that the blooming begonias were scorching, her eyes were sour and astringent, her nose was also sore and uncomfortable, her throat was like a sponge that was absorbing water, and it hurt for her to swallow saliva.
Mother, my daughter misses you so much, and my daughter wants you to hug me.
……
After staring at the begonia for a long time, Gu Yuqing finally forcibly endured the tears floating in her eyes, and her gaze fell on the kumquat green chrysanthemum, and her eyes were already clear.
"In the past, every time the second prince came, he didn't avoid you, right?" Gu Yuqing said in a cold voice.
Kumquat and Green Chrysanthemum both nodded, and Kumquat said: "Yes, if the second prince needs it, the slave maid and Green Ju will also make tea for the second prince." ”
Gu Yuqing sneered in her heart.
Xiao Duo is really bold, isn't he afraid that Kumquat Green Ju will expose them to himself?
Or is he determined that even if he catches them on the spot, he will choose to turn a blind eye for the sake of Jinghe's reputation.
"Did the second prince promise you benefits or the second lady promised you benefits, and you didn't even come to tell me when such a thing happened. In fact, when asking such a question, Gu Yuqing was purely curious.
Regarding Xiao Duo's private meeting with Gu Yuhe, her anger has long passed, and what she wants to seek now is to teach Xiao Duo a hard lesson.
Kumquat green chrysanthemum was so frightened that his legs and feet weakened, and he knelt down.
Kumquat was more courageous than Green Ju, and said with a sad face: "The slaves and maids are lost for a while, and they will be bought by a few pairs of earrings rewarded by the second lady, and the eldest lady spares her life." ”
A couple of pairs of earrings......
Gu Yuqing was speechless for a moment, and couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
I don't know if they are ignorant or they are fearless, such a monstrous thing, a few pairs of earrings can buy them without saying a word.
It seems that the subordinates of this Hou Mansion still need to be rectified.
Gu Yuqing had no intention of dwelling on this matter any longer, not to mention that she didn't mean to do so.
"If the second prince doesn't come tonight, if he comes, I want you two to pretend to be casual and lead him to the backyard of the east courtyard, can you do it?" Gu Yuqing picked up the tea cup at hand with just the right temperature, took a sip, and the fragrance of tea filled the tip of his tongue.
