CHAPTER XLV
"The old lady is already in the dining room, and the lady and the young master are waiting for the young lady." Bi'er's tone was not good, with some sarcasm.
Su Jinshi didn't blame her, she just ran out of the study in a hurry, and when she got to the courtyard, she looked back at the study again, and felt that it looked like a man-eating monster.
Bi'er followed Su Jinshi out, seeing that her expression was abnormal, she was also curious in her heart, and instinctively looked in the direction that Su Jinshi was looking, but Su Jinshi had already walked away, Bi'er muttered a few times in her heart, and followed.
When they arrived at the dining room, Mrs. Gu and Gu Shengyun had indeed sat down, Mrs. Gu was angry, and said in a strange way: "My daughter-in-law here has a really big face, just let her mother-in-law wait, even her father-in-law has to wait." ”
When Su Jinshi heard this, she was a little angry in her heart, but she also endured, she sat down and whispered to herself: "I didn't ask you to wait for me." ”
Although the voice was very low, the two people sitting could hear it clearly, that Mrs. Gu's face was blue and white for a while, and Su Jinshi didn't care about her, took the chopsticks and started eating.
"It's really uneducated." Mrs. Gu said a word and began to eat as well.
Su Jinshi was eating and thinking of the dream she had in the study, she only felt very weird, she looked at Gu Shengyun with her spare eyes, but saw a normal look on his face, and she was even more puzzled in her heart.
This meal can be eaten, Mrs. Gu doesn't like Su Jinshi in her heart, and she even picks her thorn at the dinner table, but Su Jinshi doesn't pay attention to her, but Mrs. Gu feels uncomfortable.
"Bi'er, help me back to the house, I just want to talk to you about marrying Yu Shengyun." Mrs. Gu put down the dishes and chopsticks and said with a smile to Bi'er.
Bi'er was a little flattered, the joy on her face could not be hidden, she immediately walked to Mrs. Gu's side, took her hand, and helped her up, "Bi'er, but Mrs. is in charge." ”
Bi'er lowered her head shyly, but her eyes were still looking at Gu Shengyun, and when she saw Gu Shengyun also looking at her with a smile, her heart was even more excited.
Su Jinshi was a little bored watching the master and servant singing double reeds, she said lazily: "That's okay, if you enter the door one day, I'll give Bi'er a congratulatory gift." ”
Mrs. Gu wanted to be angry with Su Jin, but she saw that she didn't care at all, and the fire in her heart kept burning, and she couldn't put it out.
Bi'er helped Mrs. Gu to leave, Su Jinshi tidied up her clothes, turned around and left, when she passed by the study, she took a few more looks, and finally left quickly.
Because Bi'er was going to marry Gu Shengyun in a few days, Mrs. Gu changed to a maid to serve her, this maid's name was Lian'er, who was originally in the mansion, but was called over to serve Su Jinshi, and now is the first time Lian'er has served people, and her hands and feet are a little clumsy.
Lian'er carefully untied Su Jinshi's bun, but it still hurt her, Su Jinshi frowned, and saw the little girl's panicked face from the mirror, and she didn't plan to care, she just said: "Be careful next time, don't pull my hair away." ”
Su Jinshi just said casually, and Lian'er knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Su Jinshi and said, "The young lady is angry, Lian'er didn't mean it, and I ask the young lady to punish it lightly." ”
Su Jinshi frowned, she thought about it, she didn't seem to say anything about punishing her just now, why did she kowtow?
Lian'er was still kowtowing, her head slammed on the ground, making a dull sound, Su Jinshi immediately jumped up, walked to the other side, frowned and said:
"You get up, I didn't want to punish you, I just asked you to pay attention next time."
Lian'er was terrified, but she didn't dare to kowtow, she just knelt there, looking at Su Jinshi pitifully with a pair of eyes.
Su Jinshi's heart became more and more irritable, and he only felt that the people in this Gu Mansion had brain problems, and all of them were abnormal.
"Stop kneeling, get up." Su Jinshi said impatiently.
Lian'er seemed to be a little angry when she saw Su Jinshi, so she also got up, she stood aside in fear, Su Jinshi sat in front of the dresser again, seeing that Lian'er wanted to come over but couldn't come, Su Jinshi only felt tired.
"You don't help me untie this bun, do you want me to sleep like this?" Su Jinshi rolled his eyes at her, "I don't beat you and scold you, why are you so afraid of me?" ”
Lian'er immediately walked over, her hands trembling to untie Su Jinshi's bun.
"Don't move yet." Su Jinshi changed directions, faced Lian'er, and said, "Why are you so afraid of me?" Isn't it just to untie your bun? It's not for you to do things that hurt nature. ”
When Lian'er heard the words "hurt the heavens and reason", her face suddenly turned pale, and she stammered, "Young lady, rest...... Rest your anger, young lady rest your anger! ”
Su Jinshi saw that Lian'er was really scared, and she couldn't help but be suspicious, didn't this little girl know something?
"Lian'er, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Su Jinshi immediately said softly.
When Lian'er heard Su Jinshi's gentle voice, she was not so afraid in her heart, but she was still a little afraid.
Su Jinshi saw that Lian'er was thin, her face was thin and thin, and her eyes were very blank, she took a handkerchief on the table, handed it to Lian'er, and said softly: "You wipe your face clean first." ”
Lian'er looked at the handkerchief, she actually cried, she squatted down, covered her face with her hands and cried in a low voice, Su Jinshi saw her so pitiful, although she was a little irritable in her heart, but she also comforted: "Don't cry, if there is any grievance, I will call the shots for you, okay?" ”
As soon as she said this, Lian'er cried louder, and Su Jinshi couldn't, so she could only wait for her to cry for a while before giving her the handkerchief, but Lian'er didn't use the handkerchief to wipe her face, but wiped it twice casually with her sleeve.
When Lian'er's mood calmed down, Su Jinshi was about to ask something, but Gu Shengyun came in.
As soon as Gu Shengyun came in, he saw the bruises on Lian'er's forehead and the red eyes, frowned and said, "What's the matter?" How did you serve, why didn't you even untie your bun for so long? ”
As soon as Lian'er saw Gu Shengyun coming, her face turned pale again, and she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll definitely serve the young lady!" I beg the young master not to punish me. ”
Su Jinshi looked at Lian'er's abnormal appearance, thought about it in his heart, and said, "Lian'er, you go down first, and come back tomorrow morning." ”
As soon as Lian'er heard Su Jinshi tell her to go down, she hurriedly thanked her and left the room in a hurry.
Su Jinshi looked thoughtfully at Lian'er's back and fled, and had doubts in her heart, she saw that Gu Shengyun was still standing there, so she said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Gu Shengyun walked to Su Jinshi's side, put his hands on Su Jinshi's shoulders, and laughed in a low voice: "Jinshi, you see that this girl won't serve you at all, I'll help you untie your bun." ”
He didn't care whether Su Jinshi refused or not, he helped Su Jinshi untie his hair bun, although Su Jinshi was unhappy, but this Gu Shengyun's technique was better than that of Lian'er.
After he was relieved, Su Jinshi stood up, looked at Gu Shengyun coldly and said, "Now you can go." ”
"Why am I leaving? This is my home, you are my lady, where will I not sleep here? Gu Shengyun looked at Su Jinshi with a smile.
I had that dream in the afternoon, Su Jinshi was already very irritable, at this time she didn't want to go around in circles with Gu Shengyun anymore, she said directly: "Gu Shengyun, I tell you very clearly, I hate you, I don't want to be in the same room with you, can you stay away from me?" ”
Gu Shengyun was not angry, he sat on the chair and poured himself a glass of water, and said with a smile: "My lady, your mouth is really stubborn, if you hate me, why do you want to marry me?" ”
"Whether I marry you or not is my business, but just because I marry you doesn't mean that I like you, Gu Shengyun, if you have to stay here, then I can only go out by myself." Su Jinshi almost roared.
Since she married into the Gu family, she has been very unhappy all day long, watching this acting, watching that bluff, sometimes she even feels that the entire Gu family is problematic.
Gu Shengyun's face finally sank, when he got up and walked towards Su Jinshi, Su Jinshi couldn't hide from being pinched by him, Gu Shengyun's tone was as cold as water, "Su Jinshi, don't toast or eat and drink, don't think about going out when you enter this Gu family." ”
"In addition, I know all those careful thoughts in your heart, don't think about playing tricks in front of me."
The candlelight flickered, and the bright and dark points of light seemed to be beating on Gu Shengyun's face, but those eyes were unprecedentedly cold, the first time Su Jinshi saw Gu Shengyun like this, she suddenly felt that she was extremely stupid.
Gu Shengyun let go of his hand, his expression became gentle, but his tone remained the same, "Su Jinshi, I don't want you now, it doesn't mean that I won't want you in the future." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Su Jinshi stood in place stunned, a little unsure of what to do.
It was the first time she felt so stupid, because she involved her family in this case, she thought she was secret, Gu Shengyun and Nian Qiang were in the dark, but she didn't know that Gu Shengyun had already known about her actions, maybe Zhao Wenshui had been bought by him.
Even if she found evidence and found ironclad evidence that Gu Shengyun had killed someone, he would not have been imprisoned.
For the first time, she felt powerless and useless in what she was doing.
**
On the morning of the second day, Lian'er called Su Jinshi up tremblingly, and helped her comb her hair bun, Su Jinshi was thinking about what Gu Shengyun said all night last night, naturally she didn't sleep well, although Lian'er was clumsy and hurt her several times, fortunately, the combed bun was not bad.
Idle and bored during the day, although Su Jinshi was in a bad mood, she was also a lot more relaxed, she sat in the courtyard basking in the sun, but her eyes looked at the study again.
She remembered the dream she had yesterday afternoon, she was afraid of that study but wanted to go in, Gu Shengyun was at home on weekdays in that study, maybe there would be evidence in that study.
"Young lady, the slave maid brought you some peaches." Lian'er took a pot of peaches and put it on the table beside Su Jinshi.
The sun was just right, and there was a faint smell of flowers in the air, Su Jinshi returned to her thoughts, she looked at Lian'er's somewhat frightened appearance, and couldn't help asking, "Lian'er, why are you so afraid when you see me?" ”
Lian'er's body trembled, her eyes flickered a little, but she shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
Su Jinshi sighed, "Okay, if you don't want to say it, I won't force it, but if someone bullies you in the future, you will sue me, and I will be angry for you, after all, you are my girl, and I will protect some of them." ”
Lian'er opened her mouth in some surprise, but after a while, her tears came out, "Young lady, I'm ...... I'm sorry for you! ”
Su Jinshi raised his eyebrows, and saw Lian'er kneel down again, "Don't kneel to me, I can't stand it, get up quickly." ”
Seeing that Lian'er was up, Su Jinshi asked, "Why are you sorry for me?" ”
Lian'er pursed her lips, a little reluctant to say, Su Jinshi saw her like this, and shook her head, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you, and don't forget what I just said, don't hold it in your heart if you are bullied, just talk to me, I'm also a young lady." ”
After speaking, Su Jinshi took a peach and was about to eat it, when he saw Lian'er crying again, Su Jinshi saw that her head hurt like this, and she wanted to leave when she stood up.
"Young lady, if you can trust me, I will talk to you." Lian'er's voice was a little choked, and her hands were tugging on her sleeves, looking very nervous.
Su Jinshi sat down, gave her the handkerchief, and motioned for her to wipe her tears, but Lian'er still wiped it with her sleeve.
"Young lady, in fact, I came here because the old lady sent me, as long as I am an eyeliner, tell the young lady every move, the old lady also said that the young lady is ......" Lian'er paused, looked at Su Jin cautiously, and saw that she motioned for herself to continue, she said: "The young lady is a demon." ”
When Su Jinshi heard this, she immediately laughed, she looked at Lian'er funny, and said, "Are you so afraid of me because of this?" ”
Lian'er saw Su Jinshi's smiling eyebrows and eyes, which looked so good in the sun, and she was immediately ashamed, and she nodded.
"Since I'm a demon, aren't you afraid that I'll eat you?" Su Jinshi was joking, very easy-going.
Lian'er's courage was also a little bigger, and she smiled, "Don't be afraid, even if the young lady is a demon, she is also a good demon!" ”
Su Jinshi was really happy now, but thinking of what happened last night, she changed her words and asked, "Then why are you so afraid of Gu Shengyun?" ”
When Lian'er heard this, her smile froze on her face, her face turned pale, she refused to speak, and Su Jinshi guessed when she saw it: "Did you see him do something unseemly?" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was no blood on Lian'er's face, her hands trembled, her eyes dodged, and she just refused to speak.
Su Jinshi knew that she must know something when she saw her appearance, she put down the peach, grabbed Lian'er's hand, and gave her a hint of stability, Lian'er looked at Su Jinshi a little confused.
"Lian'er, I just said, you are my girl, I will protect you, and now you don't believe me like this?" Su Jinshi's eyes looked at Lian'er sincerely.
Lian'er's tears fell all of a sudden, dripping onto Su Jinshi's hands, which were very hot.
Su Jinshi sighed, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force it, but those things are buried in your heart, I don't think you feel good." ”
Lian'er sniffed and said softly: "Young lady, now that you are married to the young master, this life is decided, the wrong things that the young master did in the past will be changed in the future, young lady, you are a good person." ”
Su Jinshi didn't expect Lian'er to say this, although she said it confusingly, she also understood that Lian'er must have known something, otherwise she wouldn't have sued her like this.
"Lian'er, you are also a good girl, but my marriage does not mean that I can only stay here in this life, Gu Shengyun has done something, I also know in my heart, you must also protect yourself." Su Jinshi said gently.
Lian'er nodded, Su Jinshi turned around, and saw the study again, she thought about it and walked there.
Lian'er also followed Su Jinshi into the study, but Su Jinshi said, "Lian'er, you go out first." ”
Although Lian'er was confused in her heart, she didn't dare to disobey the order, so she walked out, and Su Jinshi sat in the place where Gu Shengyun usually did, looking at those books in a daze.
If she was Gu Shengyun, how would she hide the evidence of those crimes? Although Gu Shengyun looked very gentle and polite, those cases were handled very rudely and even a little venting.
Such a person, calm on the outside but turbulent on the inside, he is a little too confident, otherwise he would not marry her into the door, he let her in and out of the Gu Mansion, he spread out this qiē to show her.
A person of his calibre might put the evidence in the most obvious and yet subtle places.
Su Jinshi stood up, she walked around the study, carefully observing every corner, and finally locked on his desk.
Gu Shengyun's desk is not like an ordinary desk, as if it is specially customized, the desk is a little heavy, there is a solid wood block in front of the desk, and from the back, there seems to be a vacant place in the middle.
Su Jinshi stretched out her hand and patted the one-sided wood, but she heard the hollow sound inside, her heart beat like thunder, and she immediately ran to the door to close the door, and then walked to the desk.
She tried to move the wood, but found that it didn't move, and she frowned and thought, could it be that there is a mechanism?
Su Jinshi sat in Gu Shengyun's position again, thinking in his heart, this Gu Shengyun is a cautious person, and he will definitely not put the organ in a place that others can see at a glance, he often sits on this desk, could it be that this organ is on this desk?
Su Jinshi lay on the table, imagining how she would arrange the position of the organ if she was Gu Shengyun, and everything on the table was placed in an orderly manner, almost the same as Su Huaijin's.
Su Jinshi couldn't think of it for a while, so she moved the things on the table at will, and she didn't find where the mechanism was, she was a little irritable in her heart, and casually lifted the wooden board in front of her, but heard a slight sound, Su Jinshi was still wondering, but saw the front half of the table slowly sinking in.
She stared at that place tightly, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, Su Jinshi's heart was beating wildly, and when the front was completely sunk in, revealing the compartment of the desk.
Su Jinshi looked inside, and was suddenly dumbfounded, and his heart was flustered.
