Chapter 110: Bad News
"Girl, these days, Mrs. will ask Sister Xinghua to go to her from time to time, what are you going to do?"
The Mid-Autumn Festival seems to have passed for a few days, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of September. There was an autumn rain at night, and when I woke up in the morning, there were a lot of dead leaves piled up in the yard.
Gu Qiluo sat in front of the window, the window was open, the fresh air after the rain poured into the house, which also brought a burst of cold, and the chrysanthemums under the corner of the wall were blooming, she looked at it in a trance, I don't know why, since I got up early this morning, I always felt a little restless.
"Girl. Girl. ”
Chunyu stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her, finally regaining her senses. Looking back, she asked in a trance, "What did you say?" ”
"The slave maid said that Mrs. Xinghua has been calling Sister Xinghua over at every turn for the past two months, and I don't know what kind of heart she has." Chunyu said it again, she couldn't help it, she was always worried about this matter these days, but the girl didn't seem to know, and she didn't ask Xinghua more.
Chunyu has a lot of affection for Xinghua, and she has always looked forward to being able to marry Gu Qiluo with the other party. Although she knew from the beginning that Xinghua and herself were different people, after such a long time, she saw that Xinghua was also doing her best for the girl, so she felt that the other party had also changed her original intention and was loyal to Gu Qiluo. Who knew that now Mrs. Lu's power is down, but she still refuses to stop, relying on her identity as a wife, she has repeatedly called Xinghua over, how can this not make her worried? What if the other party tempts with heavy profits, and Xinghua can't stand it?
"What do you care about your wife's heart? The important thing is what Xinghua thinks, don't you believe your Xinghua sister? ”
Gu Qiluo smiled. To be honest, she doesn't have much of the heart to pay attention to Mrs. Lu's small actions now, firstly, she trusts Xinghua. Second, she always has nightmares these days, which makes her very worried about Xiao Jiangbei's safety. There was no news from the other party in the newspaper twice in a row, which made her have a very bad premonition.
"Slave maid...... Of course, the slave trusts Sister Xinghua, but ...... But Mrs. is the most insidious, what if she tempts Sister Xinghua with heavy profits? When Chunyu said this, he lowered his head, feeling that he was sorry for Xinghua for saying this. seems to say that she is a person who values profit and forgets righteousness, and is suspected of provoking. But she was afraid that if Xinghua was really tempted, it would be bad for the girl. The girl was stupidly kept in the dark, trusting her as always, and finally suffered a loss. So I can't help but remind you.
Gu Qiluo saw Chunyu's tangled appearance, how could she not know what she was thinking? I couldn't help but shake my head and laughed: "You." Don't worry about apricot blossoms. She has an idea in mind. When the words fell, I suddenly saw Xiaocao running into the yard, with tears on his face, and he couldn't breathe.
Gu Qiluo felt a "buzz" in his brain, and the ominous premonition in his heart became even stronger, and he quickly stood up and came to the outer room, and as soon as he arrived at the door, Xiaocao broke in from the outside. It happened to hit her.
"Girl, girl. Oh no. When she looked up and saw that the person who collided was Gu Qiluo, Xiaocao didn't apologize, but grabbed her sleeve and cried loudly: "The second son of the Xiao family...... The second son died in battle...... Woowoo woo ......"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Chunyu caught up behind Gu Qiluo, and as soon as he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and shouted: "The second son's martial arts are so powerful, the Tartars are terrified, how can he die in battle?" Where did you hear the nonsense from? I didn't ask clearly, so I came and chewed my tongue with the girl, beware of me beating you. ”
"Yes...... It's true, on the street...... It's all over the streets. Woo woo woo ......" Xiaocao wiped her tears, panted and choked up: "I went to the street with Granny You to buy vegetables today, and the people on the street spread it all over, saying that it was the news from the palace last night, woo woo...... I didn't believe it either, so I went to the Xiao family to inquire, the Xiao family was already in a panic, and the crying could be heard outside. ”
"No, it's impossible, the second master is so powerful, how could he die in battle? It must be the wrong messenger, it must be ......" Chunyu was stunned, but subconsciously didn't want to accept the news. Suddenly, Gu Qiluo's body shook in front of her, and she was about to fall, she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and was about to speak, when she saw Gu Qiluo covering her chest violently, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".
"Girl...... Girl. ”
Chunyu was stunned, her legs were weak, and the master and servant sat on the ground together. And here Xiaocao was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly remembered that he should hurry up to find a doctor, so he turned around and ran out, shouting: "Oh no, the big girl vomited blood, come to the doctor." ”
"Girl, don't scare me, this is ...... It's not quite that yet, maybe...... Maybe it's still a rumor, it's those who have lost their conscience and wish that the second master would die in battle, so the rumors are spreading, girl, you must hold on. Chunyu was so frightened that she cried, holding Gu Qiluo's hand, she felt that it was cold, it was not as warm as a living person, and she only felt that her scalp was numb.
"What's wrong with the girl?"
Xinghua's voice came, and as soon as Chunyu saw her, the fear and worry in her heart immediately exploded, and she shouted at Xinghua: "Do you still know how to come back?" What is your wife looking for in you? You've been delayed with her until now? You...... You might as well go to her to serve, and save yourself from having a backbone when you want to hurt the girl. ”
These words were like a sharp knife, poking at Xinghua's heart, only to make her face suddenly turn pale, standing there snorting and panting, unable to say a word for a long time. After a long time, she stepped forward to help Gu Qiluo and said softly, "What happened?" Girl, what's wrong with you? ”
"I'm fine." Gu Qiluo's whole body was soft, and it seemed that it took a lot of effort to even say such a few words, and suddenly Xinghua exclaimed: "Girl, you vomited blood, this ...... What the hell is going on? What happened? ”
"Woooooooooo......oo Sister Xinghua, Xiaocao said...... said that it was spread everywhere on the street, and the second son ...... The second son died in battle, woo woo woo ......"
Chunyu whined and cried, she also knew that she was too undeserved to be angry at Xinghua for no reason just now, especially with such heart-wrenching words, even if she doubted it in her heart, she would never be able to say it. Because at this time, he pulled Xinghua's sleeve and cried: "I said the wrong thing just now, sister, don't blame me, it's really ...... I was scared and worried, I ...... I felt like the sky was falling......"
Xinghua gasped suddenly, and subconsciously shook her head and said, "Impossible, how can a person as powerful as the second son die in battle?" This is absolutely impossible. Girl, about the second son, is there still less groundlessness? This must also be a rumor made by a dog thief who should be cut with a thousand cuts. ”
"It was said that the news came from the palace, and the Xiao family already knew about it, and now it is a mess, and their cries can be heard outside." Chunyu shook his head, and worked with Xinghua to help Gu Qiluo up and place him on the bed. After a while, Mrs. Lu and Gu Jinxiu waited for the news and rushed over, pretending to comfort a few words, but their eyes were full of schadenfreude.
"Big sister, don't be sad, if the second brother Jiuquan knows that you are so sad, he will also be uneasy."
Gu Jinxiu pretended to be comforted, there was indeed a smile in her eyes, and before the words fell, Gu Qiluo, who had been softening and was half-lying, sat up suddenly, and gave her a slap without saying a word.
Gu Jinxiu was beaten, since she was a child, no one has touched a finger of her, even if she was exposed because of the bead string before, she was only locked up for a few days, and Master Gu and Mrs. Lu had never beaten her, but she didn't expect to be slapped by Gu Qiluo on such an occasion today.
Stunned for just a moment, Gu Jinxiu immediately came back to his senses, and suddenly his blood surged, and he was about to step forward to return the color, when he heard Gu Qiluo scream: "Who said he died?" What is under the Nine Springs? Did you see it with your own eyes? Just curse him to death? What good is it to you that he is dead? You dare to say such heart-wrenching things in front of me, Gu Jinxiu, are you still human? Is your conscience eaten by dogs? ”
From the moment Gu Qiluo appeared in front of everyone when she entered Beijing, no matter when and where, she was calm and dignified, even if she was scheming, she was also calm. It seems that such a gaffe is like a shrew, and even her voice is sharp, and everyone has never seen it. Because of looking at her red-eared red ears and red willow eyebrows for a while, her expression was a little hideous and fierce, and she didn't feel a chill in her heart for no reason.
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't kill him. Gu Jinxiu felt that she was even more wronged than Dou E, but she was just a few words of "kindness" to comfort her, and she invited such an unwarranted disaster. The hateful woman was heartbroken at this moment, and she actually beat and scolded herself, did she really think that she was still the second young grandmother of Xiao Mansion in the future, and even her mother had to let her score three points?
After Gu Qiluo finished scolding, she gasped a few breaths, her body was still trembling, without a trace of strength, but she stubbornly straightened her back, her eyes fell on Gu Jinxiu, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Third sister, do you dare to say that you didn't think about him before?" You dare to say that you don't want to take me and marry him instead? Now, even if he dies in battle, you ...... Don't you feel a little sad and painful? So what did you work so hard for? Just to marry him to enjoy the glory of the second young grandmother of Xiao Mansion? You...... You're a wolf-hearted, I'...... How could I have a sister like you? ”
"Big girl, we know that you are in extreme pain at this moment, so we don't know you in general. But you can't spew blood like that. Mrs. Lu said with a calm face.
Gu Qiluo turned his head and stared directly at Mrs. Lu, only staring at the poisonous woman's heart, and just as she was about to say a few decent words to leave, she heard Gu Qiluo mutter: "You are not a little sad, not at all." After she finished speaking, she sneered and said: "Sure enough, there must be a mother and a daughter, hehe, I should have expected it a long time ago, where do you two mother and daughter really like him and value him?" will unscrupulously want to replace me, you just value the position of the second young grandmother of the Xiao Mansion, and value the glory that may become Mrs. Hou in the future, and now that he is dead, what do you have to be sad about? If you can't get it, you can't get it, and then you can find the next one. (To be continued......)
