It was already afternoon when she left Shen Yuxuan, Yao Menglin frowned a little tiredly, but when Gu Ruyu looked at her, she smiled like a flower.

"What's the matter, I've got dirt on my face?" Finding that Gu Ruyu's gaze was fixed on her face, Yao Menglin took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe it.

"It's not dirty, it's not dirty, I just saw my sister-in-law beautiful and refined, and I was fascinated all of a sudden."

Gu Ruyu replied with a smile, but the angle of the corner of her mouth was very far-fetched. Yao Menglin was surprised in her heart, it was just the difference between inside and outside the door, and this Gu Ruyu's expression changed really fast. One morning in Liu's room, Gu Ruyu was laughing constantly, her face was like a flower, but there was a trace of melancholy between her eyebrows that could not be hidden.

Regarding Gu Ruyu's judgment of the two of them, Yao Menglin did not ask, the lesson of the previous life, more things are better than one less!

Stepping, Yao Menglin whispered as she went down the steps: "I have something to look at, but this spring scene is not as charming." If you are like a jade and Yaxing, would you like to go with me to the rest garden? Until he got down the steps, he didn't get a response from Gu Ruyu, and it wasn't until he was about to leave Shen Yuxuan that Gu Ruyu hurriedly came and grabbed Yao Menglin's arm.

The rest garden, the garden of the Gu family, accounts for half of the entire Gu Mansion, which is very large.

"My sister-in-law invited me to visit the garden, why didn't she wait for me?"

The words were full of the shyness of the little daughter, but the complexity that flashed in her eyes did not escape Yao Menglin's eyes after all. I don't know why, one afternoon with Gu Ruyu today, Yao Menglin always felt that her expression was abnormal, and she wanted to speak many times. I invited her to visit the rest garden this time, so I wanted to see if she really had something to say, and I also wanted to see if I could help her create an opportunity to speak.

The two sisters-in-law walked hand in hand, all the way to the pavilion in the garden. The two sat on the benches, but there was silence.

Yao Menglin glanced at Gu Ruyu and saw that she was deliberately looking into the distance, but her expression was full of uneasiness. didn't speak, only looked at Huizhu for a while, and then also looked into the distance.

"Sister-in-law......" After a long time, Gu Ruyu opened her mouth. I saw her wringing a handkerchief, biting her lip, and finally said dryly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law is curious about me...... I judged the two of you when I was in Shen Yuxuan......"

Yao Menglin smiled faintly, tried her best to make her expression softer, stepped forward to sit down against Gu Ruyu, and stroked her hair that was blown up by the breeze.

"Ruyu has something on your mind?"

Yao Menglin knew that it was not appropriate to ask too much at this time, otherwise once the atmosphere at this time was broken, Gu Ruyu would really not speak. She vaguely felt that what Gu Ruyu wanted to say was what she had always wanted to know. Looking at Gu Ruyu's eyes, there was love and encouragement, Yao Menglin only hoped that this would make Gu Ruyu more open.

"Good sister-in-law, you are a smart person, are you ...... Didn't you notice that I'm not the only one in this Gu Mansion who has something on his mind? ”

There was another rhetorical question, and Gu Ruyu's eyes were red. Yao Menglin was startled and quickly settled down. Gu Ruyu is right, up and down the Gu Mansion, whether it is the master or the servant, they all seem to be caged with a layer of hearts.

After careful speculation, it is not difficult to guess the reason.

Looking at Gu Ruyu's anxious eyes, Yao Menglin groaned for a while, and said tentatively: "It's because ...... Because...... Your big brother? ”

Yao Menglin had long wanted to find out about Gu Beichen's matter, but today she found an opportunity, and after turning around in her heart, she still asked cautiously. Gu Ruyu didn't answer, but the crystal tears fell down.

It's really for Gu Beichen's business!

Seeing Gu Ruyu like this, Yao Menglin couldn't help but think, didn't she marry and become a **? When doubts arise, they linger, and it seems that this is the only way to explain the Gu family's actions - Gu Beichen is dead, so he doesn't care about marrying her.

Is this family affair a secret marriage?

"Uncle, he...... But something happened ......"

The one who asked was Huizhu who was standing aside, she knew Yao Menglin's thoughts, but it was not good for such a thing to be asked by a knowledgeable young lady after all, and none of them was sure if Gu Ruyu was another temptation from the Liu family. So, she deliberately made a taboo to ask these words, but she didn't wait for Gu Ruyu to reprimand, so she slapped her mouth.

"Bah, baa, this old mouth is broken, our uncle will live a long life, a long life......"

For the sake of truth, Huizhu slapped herself in the face vigorously, but after two blows, blood spilled from the corners of her mouth. Yao Menglin was distressed for a while, but she also knew that she couldn't cross the Gu family to stop her. Fortunately, Gu Ruyu was extremely innocent, and she didn't worry about Huizhu's "abrupt" words, but wiped her tears and quickly grabbed Huizhu's hand.

"Oh, I can't do it, I can't do it...... I don't blame you, I don't blame you......"

"The slave deserves to die, cursing my uncle like this, it's really damned, damn it......"

Huizhu simply knelt down, she was naturally doing it for Gu Ruyu to see. Like Yao Menglin, since she entered the Gu Mansion, she also doubted Gu Beichen's condition, even if she was far away, it was impossible for the Gu Mansion to keep silent about him. Now that she has said this, Huizhu feels that she has the responsibility to ask everything that should not and cannot be asked on behalf of her own young lady.

Gu Ruyu was so anxious that her little face turned red, and she used Yao Menglin's strength to pull Huizhu up.

"Mama, don't say that, my eldest brother is already ...... It's already ......" Gu Ruyu couldn't say anything when the words came to her mouth, fine beads of sweat slipped down from her smooth forehead, and after a long time, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind: "Good sister-in-law, I'll just take you to see!" ”

Yao Menglin really didn't know that there was a hole in the garden of the Gu Mansion, and followed Gu Ruyu to the rockery where they met last time.

"Sister-in-law, can you avoid it?"

Gu Ruyu was embarrassed, but Yao Menglin chuckled and agreed to her request. However, before he turned around, he heard a slight dull roar, and then turned back at Gu Ruyu's request, and a door appeared behind the rockery. Looking inside through the door, the side of the door is more prosperous, and there are already fragrant grass and flowers.

"Sister-in-law, come with me." Gu Ruyu was still melancholy, but her brows were frowning and her expression was firm. He walked towards the door, and said as he walked: "The courtyard here was originally used by you and your eldest brother to get married, but the world is unpredictable, and no one would have thought that there would be such a change." ”

"What happened?"

"Big brother, he...... He...... He fainted the day before he got married......"

Yao Menglin didn't know whether she should cry or laugh, it turned out to be such a result. fainting, not death, but if you don't wake up for the rest of your life, you still have to be a widow. But then again, what she was really worried about was not the matter of widowhood, she was only worried that if Gu Beichen really died, would she still be able to use the Gu family to avenge herself.

Following Gu Ruyu all the way, walking through a few corridors, a clear river appeared in front of you, and the other side of the river was a dense bamboo forest. The breeze is blowing, and the river surface ripples, and the refracted spots of light fall right on the emerald green bamboo leaves, like a dream. Pacing across the wooden bridge and into the bamboo forest, I saw an elegant courtyard from afar, and the three words "Xinyou Pavilion" were clear and true.

With the breeze blowing and her hair flying, Yao Menglin became curious about Gu Beichen for the first time.
