Chapter 34: Bringing Up Old Things
"Sister Ruo'er is really, don't you know that the most important thing in the girl's family is the reputation and reputation?" Gu Fei had to say the next sentence, but considering that the two girls who had never married were present, and his own officials were also there, he swallowed the rest of the words back.
It's just a matter of chatting with the woman, it's her own niece, although she doesn't have any feelings and doesn't like it, but in the end, it's her brother's blood, and it's a girl surnamed Gu.
Gu Xiangyi smiled lightly and said, "I feel that the third sister is also confused for a while. ”
"What a fool. Gu Fei said: "At the beginning, I saw that she was very high-spirited, and I beat her openly and secretly, but I did this, and I wanted to say that I would send her directly to the Lu family and see if the Lu family was willing to ask for it." ”
My father said the same, but my mother didn't want to. ”
"She can't even raise her daughter well, is she willing to take her turn?" As soon as Fu was mentioned, Gu Fei was deeply unhappy in his heart.
Before coming, Gu Xiangyi and Pomegranate took a lot of effort to pick a basket of apricots, but they were taken down by several people in a blink of an eye, and the apricot kernels were piled up on a small plate.
Pei Yan still had to go to the office, and after he left, Gu Xiangyi pondered for a while and asked, "Does my aunt remember Mother Ye?"
Gu Fei was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect this person to be mentioned, and he didn't expect it to come from Gu Xiangyi's mouth.
"Naturally, I remember, she is my nurse, and she has been serving by your mother's side since I got married. Gu Fei's eyes were deep, he raised his head as if he was recalling something, and said slowly: "She could have married me at the beginning, alas, I won't talk about this, Sister Xiang, what are you asking about this?"
Gu Xiangyi didn't hide it, and said frankly: "Mother Ye has something to do with her mother being framed, and it is also related to her mother's death, so I want to find her and ask about the old things back then." ”
As soon as Mother Ye was mentioned, Gu Fei felt uncomfortable, and together with Pei Qingxue, she frowned slightly, and followed anxiously.
Over the years, she has heard the three words of Mama Ye in her mother's mouth more than once, all of which are full of praise for Mama Ye's kindness and measure, which shows that Mama Ye is deep-rooted in her mother's heart, and she is by no means the image of a bad slave.
"At the beginning, the second brother and sister were so crazy that they didn't even ask me, and they drove Ye's mother out of the house directly, now don't say it's you, it's not easy for me to find her, I haven't even heard from her for a few years, I'm just thinking, I don't know if she's still in the world, and I feel uncomfortable when I think about it. ”
Gu Xiangyi realized that she was uncomfortable in her heart, and hurriedly persuaded: "Auntie, don't blame yourself, it's okay if you find it, it's also God's decision if you can't find it, Mother Ye has nothing to do with us." But my mother's death has always been a pimple, and I must be proud of her. ”
Seeing that she had come to pretend to be in her heart recently, Gu Fei asked straight to the point: "If you have anything to ask your aunt for help, just say it, you are not allowed to be polite." ”
"I can't hide anything from my aunt. Gu Xiangyi bowed her head slightly, and said embarrassedly: "I came today to ask my aunt to check Mother Ye's traces, if you can't find it, don't be afraid, and ask my aunt to go back when she is free, and tell her in front of her mother that she has found Mother Ye." ”
"This is..."Gu Fei didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood: "Are you trying to make your mother get out of the way?" do you suspect that she did it?"
Pei Qingxue looked at the two of them and was a little overwhelmed for a while.
She knew that Song's death was her mother's heart disease, and she also knew that her mother had suspected Fu, but in the end, Fu was her own brother and sister, even if she found out, what could she do? It was nothing more than a few times of making a big noise, and it could still make a good life for the family? But now that Xiangyi's sister is suspicious of Fu's head, if she really finds out something, she will inevitably have to let her mother support her.
There are many facts of crushing and framing each other in the mansion, and there are several cases of such a thing as making a human life, and it is easy to find out, but it is not easy to punish. People's lives are gone, can they still make Fu's life unbearable? What is the use of arguing and scolding a few times without pain?
As soon as he heard it, he knew that Gu Fei was a smart person, Gu Xiangyi nodded slightly, and said, "What my aunt said is true." ”
"Then, if it is found out, what do you want to do?" Gu Fei asked seriously.
She knew in her heart that it was one thing to not deal with the Fu family, but if she sacrificed the reputation of the Gu family to seek justice for the Song family, it would be almost impossible.
It's not that she doesn't feel sorry for the Song family, it's not that she doesn't want to avenge the Song family, but people have been dead for many years, and what they do now is in vain, even if it is to kill the Fu family, what's the use? Instead, there are many things to sacrifice these people who are still alive.
"Think about who harmed my mother, so that I can find a way to get justice for my mother. Gu Xiangyi said honestly and did not hide his heart.
Gu Fei nodded, looked at Gu Xiangyi's eyes a little complicated, and said, "Your mother may not be a thing that was framed and killed, or maybe it was really because she was weak and committed suicide because she felt that she couldn't survive." ”
"That is also a rumor that took away her hope of life and drove her to a dead end. Gu Xiangyi knew what her aunt was worried about, and said: "Aunt rest assured, if this matter is really done by the Fu family, then I will make her pay, but I will not kill her, and I will not let my father leave her house, but this suffering and inner condemnation will definitely not run away from her." ”
Hearing this, Gu Fei seemed to be a little relieved.
When leaving Pei's house, Gu Xiangyi saw Pei Yi again. He was dressed in a crescent-white brocade robe, standing in the pavilion like a pine and cypress, and turned his head when he heard the footsteps, just in front of her eyes.
"When did the sixth sister come?" Pei Yi took the initiative to ask.
He is a person who has few words, once Ning Chu has met him a lot, but he has rarely heard him talk about anything, compared to his peers, he is a little less anxious and lively, a little more calm and old, and lives like an elder.
Such a person actually took the initiative to talk to him, which made Gu Xiangyi slightly stunned, and somehow felt a little empty-hearted.
"Seeing that the apricots at home are well fruited, I sent some to my aunt and uncle to taste. After thinking about it, she felt a little rude, and she added: "Come back later, pick more, and bring a portion to my cousin." ”
Pei Yi nodded slightly: "Okay." ”
He didn't say a word more.
After she left last time, Pei Qinghui made trouble at home for several days, for a while Zhang Luo went to cry under her mother's tablet in the family ancestral hall, and for a while she was going to go to the Gu family to make a fuss, and a lot of objects that could be smashed in the house were smashed, and she also said ruthlessly that Gu Xiangyi would wait for the door of the Pei family, and she would definitely beat her and not know where to open the door of the Pei family.
Pei Yi was a little worried that his cautious sister would really do this, so his eyes stayed on Gu Xiangyi for an extra moment, wanting to remind her to pay attention to safety, but he still didn't say anything.
What's the use of saying this kind of thing, if Pei Qinghui really wants to clean her up, she won't just be reminded to hide.
When Gu Xiangyi was about to leave, Pei Yi quietly followed, thinking that if something like that really happened, he could still come out to adjust one or two.
As he expected, Pei Qinghui heard that Gu Xiangyi was coming, and rushed out despite the persuasion of the maid and mother-in-law, still holding a guy in his hand, a wooden beauty hammer that knocked on his back and legs, and it was estimated that he took it out easily.
"Gu Xiangyi!" Pei Qinghui shouted behind her, and sure enough, she stopped.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Gu Xiangyi was not afraid of her coming hard.
Pei Qinghui took two steps forward, walked very close to her, didn't say a word of nonsense, and raised her hand to fight. But the beauty hammer did not hit Gu Xiangyi's body, but was tightly grasped by her hand and broken in response.
This made Pei Yigang's footsteps that wanted to take a step forward suddenly stopped, and he hid behind the corridor to see what else would happen.
"You!" Pei Qinghui blushed, and raised her other hand to hit her face: "You bastard, filthy slut, see if I don't tear your face!"
Looking at her coldly, Gu Xiangyi threw the beauty hammer on the grass on the side, his face expressionless, cold as frost.
Being stared at by the other party like this, Pei Qinghui felt a chill and came straight to her, and her raised hand was slowly put down, not daring to say anything more.
In this family, everyone let her, in order not to ruin her reputation, Gu Fei can be regarded as fulfilling her obligations as a mother-in-law, and has never abused her, which makes her even more arrogant. And her father and brother are busy every day, and they are all men, how can they raise her? Not to mention the maids and maids and servants in the family, no one dares to provoke her.
But it was Gu Xiangyi, who dared to slap her last time, and this time she must have dared to do something to her, and she was the one who bullied the soft and was afraid of saying it.
"Looks like the last slap didn't get you dressed. ”
Seeing that she was scared like a chick stared at by an eagle, Gu Xiangyi only felt funny, and quickly raised a hand, so frightened that she covered her face and squatted on the ground, shaking uncontrollably.
Shame is a trivial matter, but being soft in front of Gu Xiangyi is a big thing.
Pomegranate looked at Pei Qinghui coldly, and let out a mocking laugh uncontrollably. And Pei Qinghui, who realized it later, blushed, didn't get up, and didn't trouble Gu Xiangyi anymore, so she turned her head and ran away with her face covered, and the sound of crying could be heard in half the yard.
No one knows that Pei Yi, the cold-faced son of the Pei family, has been watching Gu Xiangyi's every move behind the corridor, only Pei Yi himself knows that on the night after Gu Xiangyi left, he had a dream, and in the dream he was still Gu Xiangyi, who was neither humble nor arrogant, she smiled and talked to Pei Yi, holding half a basket of apricots and handing them to him, asking him to taste whether the apricots were sweet or not.
After the Pei family's servant sent Gu Xiangyi and Pomegranate back home, he went straight to Gu Fei's room and truthfully replied to Pei Qinghui's attempt to beat someone.
"Is she still so disobedient?" Gu Fei suddenly slapped the table: "It seems that I am really soft on her, dare to do something to Sister Xiang'er, it should be punished, as a noble daughter of the Hou Mansion, she is so timid and competitive, she should also be punished!"
On the same day, Pei Qinghui was punished for copying Buddhist scriptures, and he also went to the family ancestral hall to reflect.
Reflection naturally will not reflect and understand, she is now full of hatred for Gu Xiangyi, and feels that Gu Fei treats the people of her old Gu family like a mustard to the daughter of the Pei family who is not her own.
