"A sibling who grew up in the same family can do such a ruthless thing, without caring about sisterhood, such a vicious person, I still see it for the first time!"

Princess Guangning's voice was cold, but the words that came out made Gu Manman tremble.

At this time, a slim girl walked into the hall, wearing a moon-white gown, a light cyan pleated skirt, there was no bells and whistles embroidery on the clothes, just the lines on the material, and the combed bun was also very simple, only an inconspicuous ebony hairpin held her hair, and the earrings on her ears were pendants made of scattered pearls.

Princess Quang Ninh stretched out her hand and waved at the girl, "Good boy, come, let me see, my face is so bad, and I don't know how much I have suffered outside." ”

The girl Yingying bowed down, "Let the princess worry, I didn't suffer anything, but the wind under the bridge at night was a little cold......"

Hearing the girl's voice, Gu Manman's eyes widened instantly, didn't Gu Linlin escape? How dare she...... How dare you come home?

Princess Guangning stroked Gu Linlin's hand and said softly: "I'm scared, fortunately, now that I'm back home, no one will bully you anymore." ”

She comforted Gu Linlin before turning her head to look at Gu Manman, her eyes were quite sharp, "Although your mother is gone, it is inevitable that there will be chaos in the family, but at this time, brothers and sisters must respect each other and love each other and work together, so that your mother will not be difficult to see underground." ”

Gu Manman clenched his hand before swallowing the voice he suppressed in his throat and nodded lightly.

Princess Guangning moved her gaze and looked at Gu Yi, "You are even more of a brother, now that Ning Guogong is far away in Sichuan and Gui, you are the oldest in the family, and you have to take on the affairs that should be taken up, otherwise what will happen to the Ningguo Mansion after your father is a hundred years later?"

This kind of reprimand is like an elder admonishing a junior, but now in such a situation, Gu Yi can't be happy, but no matter how reluctant he is, a clan like Princess Guangning comes to reprimand him, which also gives him face, he can only swallow the bitterness and nod heavily.

The look on Princess Guangning's face softened a little, "Since you can save it, I won't tell you more, lest you think I'm verbose if I talk too much, but these two harmful Dao aunts can't stay, and I will take the two of them away in a while, which will save you trouble." ”

Gu Manman was shocked, those two sisters-in-law were bought by her, and they had always been harsh to Gu Linlin, if they were taken away, Bao Buqi would spit out something from their mouths, but she had just been reprimanded by Princess Guangning, how could she dare to say a word now?

After sending away the princess of Guangning, Gu Manman had a seizure at Gu Linlin: "I already knew that you were restless, so I put you in the Taoist temple and let you rein in your temperament, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious, the life in the Taoist temple is just a little more pure-hearted, how can you persecute you? I haven't said that you don't respect your sister-in-law, you don't respect your elders, and you actually use your mother's death to make a face, but you framed me, and you think that your worth can also rise when you catch up with Princess Guangning?

Gu Manman's fierce and vicious appearance frightened Gu Linlin trembling and retreated, and said in a loud voice: "Big sister, I didn't mean to, those two sisters-in-law said that they would send me to a place of secret prostitution, I was afraid to run away, and then because I was too hungry, I would go to get porridge with the victims, I didn't expect to meet Princess Guangning......"

Gu Yi's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle, "Manman, what are you doing here?"

Princess Guangning's words obviously already knew the ins and outs of the matter, and sent the third sister back to support the third sister, and to warn them that if they didn't rein in, they were afraid that the affairs in the mansion would be big, and then the Ningguo Mansion would really become the target of public criticism.

When did Gu Manman be slapped in the face like this, he couldn't release it with a breath in his heart, and now he was scolded by his brother like this, his eyes immediately turned red, and he shouted loudly: "Brother, do you even want to count me down?" Do you know that on the day of my mother's funeral, this slut looked like a withered person, as if she had spent a lot of effort to serve her mother, but let others talk about her mother's mistreatment of her concubine, and climbed up by stepping on her mother's face like this, how can you let me swallow this breath!"

Gu Yi had also heard about this, he thought it was the prince deliberately exaggerating, although he knew that there might be these things, but he wouldn't do it too obviously, he didn't want it to be like this.

His face immediately sank, "Linlin, your mother has always treated you well, is this how you repay your mother?"

Gu Linlin smiled coldly in her heart, the indifference to her was also exchanged for her acquaintance, if it weren't for this, the year her aunt went, she would have gone with her aunt a long time ago, where would she have lived until now?

The eldest sister and eldest brother now look like their mother-in-law is kind to her, which makes her feel disgusted when she sees it, but she is stronger than people, even if Princess Guangning is behind her to help her speak, now she is not good at fooling the past, thinking of Xia Chanyi's words, she can't help but be ruthless in her heart, and make a decision, sooner or later, it will be just a death, so if she dies here, she will also be unwilling.

She was silent for a moment, and only then did she whisper before Gu Manman couldn't help but get angry: "Mother's death is strange......

Gu Manman and Gu Yi didn't expect her to say such a sentence, and immediately paused there, "What did you say? Mother, she... ...... the hell she is?"

Gu Linlin raised her head slightly, with a look of timidity and fear in her eyes, "Originally, I didn't want to say it, because this matter is too big, if I say it, I'm afraid it will be bad for our family, but the eldest sister has been forcing me, and she also sent me to the Taoist temple, and the sisters-in-law in the Taoist temple are all vicious, and the food I eat every day is the worst, but they have been forcing me to work, you look at my hands......"

"Who wants to listen to you say that this is useless!" Gu Manman was furious, grabbed the gown on her body, and pulled her closer, "Tell me about the cause of my mother's death, if you dare to hide a little, I will teach you what life is better than death!"

Gu Linlin was dragged by her and didn't stand firm, and almost fell on top of her.

Gu Yi hurriedly went over to separate the two of them, and gently comforted Gu Linlin: "Third sister, don't be afraid, you can rest assured in the mansion in the future, Manman, she dares to bully you, I will be the first to spare her!" You say slowly, don't worry." ”

Gu Linlin laughed in her heart, one sang with a white face and the other with a red face, but she had a tacit understanding, but I don't know if you can be as indifferent as you are now after you understand the truth.

She pinched the folds on the gown in her palm and stroked it little by little, but her hand trembled a little, and she looked frightened.

After a pause, she whispered, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but what happened that day really scared me...... When my mother came back from the palace that day, I served in front of my mother, and although my mother was tortured with a cane, she was still very energetic, and I helped my mother to lie down on the couch, and accidentally touched my mother's wound, and my mother scolded me loudly......"

Gu Manman couldn't help but interject: "In this case, how could my mother suddenly die?"

Gu Linlin lowered her head, with a nasal voice in her voice, "Later, my father came back, and I had something to say to my mother, so let me go down first, I was worried about my mother's injury, so I went to the big kitchen and asked Chun Niang to cook some sweet soup with red dates and longan to replenish my mother's qi and blood, just when I brought the sweet soup to my mother, I heard that in my mother's room, my father and mother were arguing, and the people in the room also avoided hugging the house, I was afraid for a while, so I hid under the eaves." ”

As she spoke, she raised her head and quickly looked at Gu Manman and Gu Yi, with a look of great fear on her face, as if she knew some secret secret.

Gu Yi saw that she said that she stopped for a while, and became anxious, and asked repeatedly, "What did you hear?"

Gu Linlin flattened her mouth, tears flowed out, she hurriedly covered it with a handkerchief, and said sadly: "Father is scolding my mother, saying that my mother is a fool, and saying that my mother is dead, and the province will destroy the Gu family's scourge, I shrank under the eaves and listened for a long time, but I never heard my mother speak, I also said that my mother was sad, and I didn't dare to send sweet soup at this time, so I left quietly, and then I heard that my mother died, and I recalled what my father said at that time......

Gu Yi couldn't believe that his mother's death could be such a reason!

He repeatedly asked his father about the cause of his mother's death, and his father always said categorically that his mother died violently, but he knew that this violent death had always been an excuse for some big families, but the sadness on his father's face did not seem to be a fake, and he was afraid that his father would be sad, so he did not ask again.

He didn't expect things to develop like this, it was too unexpected for him.

Gu Manman's eyes widened even more, and he looked at her and said sharply: "You, you are talking nonsense! How could my father poison my mother? Did you take advantage of my mother's sadness to kill my mother?" The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, and affirmed, "It must be that you saw that your mother was injured and sad, and you killed your mother while she was unprepared! Now you dare to make up such a lie to coax me and my brother to see that I don't ...... you."

"Manman!" Gu Yi came to his senses and called out to her, "Don't mess around, where does the third sister have such great ability to kill her mother?" Do you think those maids and daughters in the mother's room are all dead?"

Gu Linlin hurriedly nodded and said: "I didn't say it before, I was afraid that the eldest sister would not believe me, and the eldest brother was still recuperating in the palace at that time, if I dared to tell the truth, my father would definitely not spare me, so I endured it and didn't say it, but the eldest sister thought about it, the filial piety clothes that my mother wore when she went out of the funeral were a high-necked filial piety clothes, and my mother never liked clothes with high collars, why did the filial piety clothes be high-collared?"

"What do you mean by that?" Gu Manman glared at her angrily.

She sighed, "Aunt Mei has been guarding her mother's coffin, others want to look at her mother's remains, she will always be on the side, I took advantage of her not paying attention, secretly pulled the collar down, and saw a circle of bruises on my mother's neck, I was scared to death, hiding in the room and stuffy day by day, this is how sick." ”

That's why she described her withering in the days of the funeral, as if she was seriously ill.

Hearing Gu Linlin say this, Gu Manman remembered that when she just came back from the nunnery, didn't her mother wear such a filial piety dress, she was going to change her mother's clothes, and her father also stopped her and said that her mother would be cold, she insisted on changing, and her father scolded her for being unfilial, saying that she had made her mother angry......

Gu Manman couldn't accept such a truth, she shook her head in a panic: "Impossible, how can it be my father's ......"

And Gu Linlin thought of the torment she had suffered in those days, and she had palpitations, "Originally, I had been hesitating, not knowing whether to say it or not, but the eldest brother and eldest sister pressed me like this, I couldn't help it, so I had to tell the story...... But even if we know the truth, what can we do? Can we still be disrespectful to our father?"

Gu Linlin wiped the tears on her face and said to Gu Yi: "And I don't think my father intended to kill my mother, maybe because I quarreled with my mother and lost my hand in a hurry, we still have to ......."

When Gu Yi heard her say this, his brows furrowed, "I know about this, you are not allowed to talk nonsense!"

Gu Manman's tears flowed out: "Big brother, my mother died so unjustly!"

Gu Yi looked at Gu Manman impatiently: "Even so, what can you do? Do you still want to attack your father? Father is the head of our family, without father, our Ningguo Mansion will be finished!"

So at this time, it's best not to act rashly, take your time in whatever you do, and wait until your wings grow and grow, and then talk about anything else.

He turned his head sideways to Gu Linlin and said, "I will investigate this matter clearly, if it is really as you said...... Then you can get this out of your mouth, and no fourth person will know about it, you remember!"

Gu Linlin nodded heavily, and looked at Gu Yi carefully, the young man's face was full of forbearance and helplessness, the yin owl in her eyes became deeper and deeper, and she silently let go of the breath she had been holding in her heart.

"Okay, Manman, you and the third sister should go back to the room first, and," Gu Yi reminded Gu Manman, "Don't bully the third sister in the future, otherwise I won't spare you!"

Gu Manman snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything unpleasant, just glared at Gu Linlin and left.

Gu Linlin walked behind carelessly, and when she lowered her head, Xia Chanyi's words still rang in her ears, "Even if you have the protection of Princess Guangning, I'm afraid Gu Manman will not give up, and you will not be sent to Guanli again, but life will not be any better, if you want to live well, only if they treat you as a confidant and let them completely trust you, can you live a comfortable life." ’

She thought about it, and only by telling the whole story would she gain their trust, although her grandmother was not her biological mother, but she was the biological mother of the eldest brother and eldest sister, she felt that it was better for her grandmother to die than to live, but others didn't think so.

Sure enough, the eldest brother and eldest sister believed her because of this.
