Old Madam Gu was taken aback by Gu Qingwan's posture, but she didn't expect Gu Qingwan to kneel down in front of her: "Old lady, if I didn't happen to come over today, and the second wife did such a vicious thing today, wouldn't it be just that?" ”

"This matter is not something that you can manage as a girl." Old Madam Gu immediately gave an order, and then instructed Yuzhan, "You hurry up and send the third girl back to Yuanxiang Pavilion." ”

Yuzhan glanced at Xiao Sun, who was kneeling down with his head half-covered and his face covered, and his steps were a little heavy, but he still followed Old Madam Gu's words, stepped forward to help Gu Qingwan, and persuaded: "The girl still listens to the old lady, I will send the girl back to Yuanxiang Pavilion." ”

Gu Qingwan broke free of Yuzhan's hand, knelt up straight, and said very clearly: "Old lady, things are so big, who can you hide it from alone?" I met Mrs. Cao in the verandah just now, and she said that I was not a good person, and she looked down on me on weekdays, saying that I really regarded myself as something. ”

When Old Madam Gu heard this at first glance, she was also furious in her heart.

"Third girl, don't talk nonsense, your Aunt Cao is the most polite person, how could she say such a thing?" Xiao Sun saw that Gu Qingwan was deliberately provoking, so he spoke out to defend it.

Gu Qingwan sneered: "I didn't know what I meant at the time, but I just listened to the words of the second wife, but I understood everything." The second wife said that your sister is the most polite person, but this person who knows etiquette is the one who has the idea of cheating on marriage, and the second wife also helped her plan to harm me for the rest of my life. ”

Gu Qingwan took Aunt Cao's mistake. Xiao Sun couldn't breathe smoothly when she blocked it, and his face was blue and white.

"I don't understand, I am the concubine of the second room of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, how dare Mrs. Cao hide it like this." After that, she said to Mrs. Gu again, "Old lady, if the second lady doesn't know about this matter, I don't believe it." ”

Xiao Sun suddenly became anxious: "Old lady, I really don't know about this matter, don't listen to the nonsense of the third girl." ”

was bumped into by Gu Qingwan again, and Old Madam Gu had a headache. sighed and said, "Three girls, your mother may not know this matter so clearly. This family affair is only a verbal matter, and it will not cause any substantial damage to you and our house, and we will no longer have dealings with the Cao family in the future. ”

Gu Qingwan laughed angrily instead: "Then according to grandmother's wishes, will this matter be stopped, just let the Cao family slap our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?" The tone in which Mrs. Cao spoke in the verandah, as if our family was holding her. "I hate it again." Even if I'm not a 'good person', it's not the turn of the Cao family to pick and choose, and their Cao family really thinks that they are the same person on the table as our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. ”

"Three girls, what are you talking nonsense about, you can't say anything more about self-deprecation in the future." Old Madam Gu hesitated for a while, but still reached out and gently patted Gu Qingwan's back.

Old Madam Gu reflected on Aunt Cao's words. I was also very angry in my heart. It's just that she understands that Gu Qingwan wants to use Aunt Cao to drag Xiao Sun's family into the water. She doesn't care about the Cao family, it's just that this little Sun is her niece, and it is the continuation she personally picked for Gu Mingli later.

Both the Cao family and the Xiao Sun family could secretly teach them some lessons afterwards, but Gu Qingwan meant to make a big deal about this matter, which was definitely not allowed by Old Madam Gu.

"Well, I know the merits better than you do. You really shouldn't have made a conclusion after listening to a few words. After that, his face sank again, "Besides, you shouldn't have entered my house without passing the word." ”

Old Madam Gu didn't like her, Gu Qingwan naturally knew it in her heart, but she didn't expect that Old Madam Gu was still defending the Little Sun clan at this time. I'm afraid that it's not to protect the Xiao Sun family, but at this juncture, Old Madam Gu still can't slap herself in the face, and she wants to turn a big thing into a small thing.

Xiao Sun naturally heard what Old Madam Gu meant, and his face made a sad expression: "Third girl, whether you believe it or not, this matter is indeed hidden from me by your Aunt Cao." You know in your heart what I've done to you all these years, and I just want you to have a good home, so how could I deliberately harm you? ”

Gu Qingwan turned her head to stare at Xiao Sun, and said sarcastically: "What Aunt Cao is not Aunt Cao, I never remember that I have relatives from outside the door." My mother only had two older brothers, and she never had any sisters or sisters. ”

The biological mother of the three girls, He, has only two brothers, and that generation has never even had children.

Xiao Sun's face turned white when he heard this, but he didn't know how to respond to Gu Qingwan, so he could only cover his face and cry.

Old Madam Gu has never liked Gu Qingwan to mention the He family, nor did she like Gu Qingwan to mention her biological mother He, but now that the Guan family has returned to Beijing, she said that she would often take Gu Qingwan to the He family to walk around. Thinking about it this way, Gu Qingwan's emotions should also be calmed down.

Gu Qingwan saw Xiao Sun's crying, but she wasn't ready to let go of Xiao Sun's so easily, she pinched herself hard, and began to sob: "If you say how the second wife has treated me all these years, the second wife knows it in her heart. Don't mention anything else, just talk about this matter, if Mrs. Cao really sees that the second wife is good to me, why would she bully me like an orphan girl. ”

This was too damaging, Xiao Sun was angry, and Old Madam Gu also stopped it: "Qingwan, this is too much." ”

Gu Qingwan knew that she was too late, so she cried on Old Madam Gu for a while, and said, "Since the old lady doesn't want me to get involved in this matter, I will go back to Yuanxiang Pavilion today." It's just that if the second wife doesn't give me an explanation, I won't just forget it. The old lady also knew that I was a stubborn temper, so I didn't want to pick myself up without knowing it. ”

Old Madam Gu felt that her head hurt again, but she couldn't wait for Gu Qingwan to leave, so she hurriedly signaled the jade cup to send Gu Qingwan back to the Yuanxiang Pavilion.

Gu Qingwan followed Yuzhan out of Tansong Courtyard, and her tears never broke along the way, she held Guiye's hand, and complained as she walked: "I don't even remember what my biological mother looks like now, if the second wife is really good to me, why don't I often mention my mother." I originally thought that she didn't want to see the child from the original match, but I didn't expect the second wife to be so vicious, this is trying to push me into the fire pit. She is good now, even the old lady wants to hide it, if it weren't for the old lady thinking about me, I'm afraid I would have been doomed a long time ago. ”

These words were said intermittently, and they did not stop along the way, and they did not say what Xiao Sun did, only that Xiao Sun had evil intentions. Yuzhan persuaded her a few times on the side, but when she saw that it was useless, she could only give up.

There has always been only Gu Sanniang who cried angrily, but it was the first time that the third girl had tears on her face, and there were many maids who secretly watched along the way.

Before Gu Qingwan arrived at Yuanxiang Pavilion, what she said on the road spread all over the inner courtyard, but she didn't know what the second lady had done to the third girl, so she could only have different opinions, but she revealed a lot of old things about the little Sun family.

Yuzhan sent Gu Qingwan back to Yuanxiang Pavilion, thinking that Old Lady Gu was also uncomfortable at this time, so she hurried back.

After Gu Qingwan entered the house, Gui Ye ordered Hongjin to fetch water to come in, and then locked the door of the house. Gu Qingwan's throat was already hoarse, and a few cups of tea couldn't relieve the burning pain in her throat.

Crying is also a very physically demanding thing, she originally just wanted to do it, but for some reason she couldn't stop crying and crying. Gu Qingwan freshened up again, and then half lay on the couch to rest.

Even if Old Madam Gu would be angry, she would have to take care of the He family behind her. Besides, this matter was originally done by Xiao Sun's inauthentic family, even if she denied it vigorously, and let Aunt Cao take over all the things alone, but how could she escape the involvement.

Besides, she cried all the way from Tansong Courtyard to Yuanxiang Pavilion, I am afraid that it will alarm many people.

After that, Gu Qingwan was unwell and recuperated in the Yuanxiang Pavilion for a few days, but even the old lady Gu was exempted from it in the morning and dusk. She talked very much that day, but after that, she stopped bothering Xiao Sun, as if she had forgotten about it.

Old Madam Gu was relieved, and felt a little more pity for Gu Qingwan in her heart, and took advantage of her physical discomfort to send her a lot of good supplements and medicinal materials, and specially took two hundred taels of silver to subsidize her flowers.

Seeing this, Xiao Sun's family had to endure the pain and send Gu Qingwan a lot of flowers in private.

Although she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, Old Madam Gu hated deception the most, and she didn't plan to let go of the Cao family and the little Sun family.

The Cao family was really unlucky during this period of time, and after Cao Zhixiao returned to Beijing to report on his work, he did not have the will to be awarded an official for a long time. Although he took the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and walked around, when he first had an eyebrow, he found out that he was corrupt in office, and the evidence was conclusive.

In the past three years, the Qing Governor's Mansion has 100,000 snowflakes of silver, and no foreign official is really clear-sleeved, which shows that someone is against him.

But at such a critical juncture, he couldn't even enter the door of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion. Even if he doesn't rely on the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, as long as he dredges up and down, such a thing can be turned into a big thing. Unexpectedly, at this time, many Jiangnan officials were involved in bribery cases, which were handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department for handling.

Because there are many implications, even the saints are alarmed.

Originally, it was a demotion at most, but Cao Zhixiao was dismissed and imprisoned, and Aunt Cao sold her property and spent money to redeem Cao Zhixiao.

When Cao Zhixiao came out of the prison of the Criminal Department, not only did he lose his official position, but half of his family property was lost out of thin air, and the outer room and outer room he kept outside were all betrayed by Aunt Cao on the spot, and he had long since disappeared.
