In the increasingly hazy night, Shu E looked at Mrs. Gu's lotus-colored skirt, and could still make out clearly, she was walking towards the north wall.

Shu E watched Mrs. Gu's figure become more and more blurred in a daze, and she didn't think too much, so she followed with steps.

"Mrs. Dong, please stay."

Shu E just quickened her steps to follow, and didn't think of lightening her steps, but Mrs. Gu seemed to be deaf to the footsteps behind her, and just walked forward. Shu E couldn't, so she had to shout again.

Mrs. Gu really slowed down slowly when she heard the sound, but she didn't turn around, so Shu E didn't see the smile on her face.

"I don't know if Mrs. Anguo stays together, what do you mean?" Mrs. Gu asked.

"Mrs. Dong came to Cao's Mansion this time, but no one in the mansion knew about it?" Shu E asked. If it weren't for the fact that no one in the house knew about it, why would Mrs. Gu be afraid of people who went to night to see it?

"Didn't Mrs. Anguo know the truth? It's not too late for you to hurry up and tell your old lady at this moment. Mrs. Gu turned around and smiled.

Shu E's heart shook suddenly, remembering what Xiang'er said that she had already taken the medicine, and hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Dong has quietly visited Cao's Mansion more than once, right?" ”

"Visiting Cao's Mansion?" Mrs. Gu's words were full of playfulness: "Yes, if your lord and wife have also put these places-" Mrs. Gu said as she stretched out her hand from left to right, pointing to the house in the wall where Yang Xinyuan and Shuyan were located, "if it is Cao's mansion." ”

Your old lady, how unfamiliar such words seem.

Shu E asked again: "Xiang'er is the person that the master found for Miss Shuyan, and now it seems that it is also Mrs. Dong's person, and it was Mrs. Dong that you sent-" Shu E lowered her voice, and her tone became very serious: "Do you take care of the girl?" ”

"Yes, the girl of the Cao family, and the child named Minghe, are really not worry-free." Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "Not only do her parents have to worry about her mother and son, but I, as an aunt, can't rest assured for a moment." ”

It seemed to be a very kind word, but when it came out of Mrs. Gu's mouth, it made Shu E feel weird in her heart.

"Since Mrs. has the heart to take care of her face, why don't she hide it from her?" Shu E paused for a moment and continued: "She doesn't know your intentions, Mrs. Lu Dao, nor the relationship between Lu Dao Xiang'er and you, right?" ”

Mrs. Gu laughed lightly and said to Shu E: "Mrs. Anguo is smart and clever, and I heard that she is also very good-looking, and she will definitely make great achievements in the palace in the future." It's just that I advise Mrs. Anguo that since she has this rich life, it is good to live and enjoy it. Since the scenery is back to save her relatives, Mrs. An Guo can only be happy and happy, enjoy the flowers, play chess, and find a good pastime, which is not better than anything, why bother to take care of this kind of idle thing in Caofu that is neither willing to see people nor unseemly? ”

"Idle business—is Mrs. Dong keeping me out of the way?" Shu E asked.

"If Mrs. Anguo doesn't want to sit in peace and enjoy Qingfu, then you have to leave it to you. It's just-" Mrs. Gu lowered her voice and said, "It's a pity that Mrs. Anguo is so self-invoking. ”

"Is Mrs. Dong trying to persuade Shu'e not to interfere?" Shu E asked.

Mrs. Gu took two steps towards Shu E, and walked less than two feet in front of Shu E. Under the faint light, Mrs. Gu's face was a little clear, and I saw that she had a kind of pride and fierceness on her face that was very similar to Shuyan: "At this moment, it is a good word to persuade you, if Mrs. Anguo insists on it again, my speech is not as good as yours, so I have to hide it clumsily." ”

Is it a good word of persuasion? Why is that tone so persistent, so hard? Shu E looked at her aunt blankly, as if she felt stranger than the first time they met.

Shu E sighed slowly and said softly: "Since Mrs. Dong wants to persuade me, she needs to at least give me a reason, and it is reasonable. ”

"I can't imagine that a little maid in Cao's mansion is so uninteresting." Mrs. Gu chuckled, but then withdrew her smile, and her eyebrows were like frost: "I just respect the title and grade given to you by the Queen Mother and the emperor, but I just let you have more than me, but it is just for the sake of your ...... Hmph, what kind of reasonableness does it take to stop you, the fake Mrs. Anguo, from meddling in her affairs? ”

Mrs. Gu said and gently clenched her palms, and said leisurely: "The little girl was proud when she entered the palace, don't forget, I still have a handle in my hand." As he spoke, he changed his gentle tone and said with a smile: "Mrs. Anguo, I would like to advise you that you cherish this God-given glory, don't meddle in things, and don't cause trouble." ”

"There may be trouble, but things are not idle. In fact, if Mrs. Dong is willing, she can treat this as an idle matter and ignore it. Of course, Mrs. Dong's identity is placed here, after all, you are the daughter of the Cao family, and you are the aunt here, if you want to take care of it, no one can say anything. Of course, you can also think of this as a handle and hold it firmly in your hands. Shu E said and took two steps forward, leaned over to Mrs. Gu's side, and whispered: "It's just that Mrs. Dong should not forget that the two mansions of Cao Dong are built against each other, and the two families of Cao Dong live next to each other. When the Dong family first went to Beijing, Mrs., you led the young master and girl to live in the Cao Mansion, and this matter is well known. The girl of the Cao family was pregnant before entering the palace, and she was dropped again, such a big thing, I don't know if it will implicate the Dong Mansion? Will it implicate Qinghe County? ”

"You ......," Mrs. Gu's eyebrows slowly gathered.

Being so close, Shu E could clearly see the anger on Mrs. Gu's face. Shu E couldn't imagine what twists and turns there would be in the middle of things, but Mrs. Gu's hostility towards Cao Fu became more and more obvious.

The handkerchief in Shu E's palm was already wet, she was not afraid of the Qin beauty who killed Xiaoyingzi, the talented people who made it difficult for her at the beginning, and the Yang Jieyu who harbored evil intentions, because she had no weakness in front of them, and she had no reason to lose. She can choose to endure silently, or she can choose to fight back with confidence, or even go toe-for-tat with them, her language and momentum are as sharp as them.

But in front of Mrs. Gu, she had no way to fight back calmly. This is not only for the sake of Mrs. Gu's so-called handle, which is genuine and well-founded, but also because it is a secret that she is determined to keep at the risk of her life. Even if there are treacherous and vain and conspiracy in Cao's mansion, as long as there are people she cares about, she is willing to acquiesce to all the darkness that she does not want to admit and do not want to see.

It's just that the person in front of her is something she is never willing to resist and hostile. She is her aunt, she is like Shuyan, like Dong Qingning, but Shu'e has already seen that she is most like herself.

It's not something that looks and expressions are as simple as that. It's an unintentional demeanor, a smile when you're in love, and even a-for-tat tone of speech.
