After lunch, Mrs. Gu was a little tired, and dispersed all the girls of the Gu family, leaving only Gu Qingwan to speak alone for a while, and then said that she was going to take a nap. It just so happened that at this time, the eldest lady sent someone to invite, and Gu Qingwan moved to the humble administration hall where the eldest lady was.

Gu Qingshu and the eldest lady sat next to each other on the couch and whispered something. Seeing Gu Qingwan coming in, Gu Qingshu stood up and pulled Gu Qingwan to sit down beside the eldest lady.

"Why don't you see Brother Qiao?" Gu Qingwan glanced left and right, and then asked.

Gu Qingshu covered her mouth and laughed: "When I fell asleep, I let the nurse carry him to the compartment, if you wake him up, it will be another trouble." After that, she glanced at the eldest lady again, "It's been half an hour since I spoke, I'll go and see Brother Qiao'er, third sister, you accompany your mother to talk." ”

Gu Qingwan knew that this was the eldest lady who had something to ask her alone, so she nodded with a smile.

If it was the rest of the Gu family, they would naturally not dare to speak to Gu Qingwan in such a tone, but Gu Qingshu was different. Over the years, Gu Qingshu has taken great care of the three girls, so Gu Qingwan also accepted her affection, and she has been in contact with Gu Qingshu since she left the cabinet, and the two of them talked very casually.

The eldest lady sent away the people in the house, and chatted with Gu Qingwan for a while, and then got to the point: "I see that your left hand has been stiff, is there any big problem?" During the palace banquet the day before yesterday, I only heard that something big happened in the palace, and it involved you, and I was really anxious, so I couldn't stay in the palace. When the old lady heard this, she was very anxious, and asked me to invite you to come and speak today. ”

After saying that, the eldest lady glanced at Gu Qingwan, her face full of doubts.

Although Gu Qingwan's wound is deep, it is not considered to be a wound, she is wearing a dress with wide sleeves today, except for the injured hand is a little stiff because she does not dare to move, people who don't know can not see that she has an injury on her hand.

The eldest lady specially sent someone to invite her to the Ruiwang Mansion, which was for the palace banquet. The movement in the palace is a bit loud, and I heard that it also involves the previous dynasty, and when this kind of rumor is rumored, knowing more is also considered to have grasped the opportunity. Although the eldest lady heard the rumors, she also knew nothing, and it was inevitable that she wanted to make up her mind about Gu Qingwan.

Since she has cracked this matter, she naturally wants to get to the bottom of it.

If she was another girl from the Gu family, maybe she would have confessed to the eldest lady, but Gu Qingwan had already been disappointed in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and felt that she didn't need to think about the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion at all. Besides, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is obedient to the Huaiwang Mansion, and now that the Huaiwang has an ambiguous attitude, how can Gu Qingwan tell the truth to the eldest lady.

If you don't tell the truth, you have to say something. Gu Qingwan came today to say these words to Princess Huai through the mouth of the eldest lady, so she learned the words of the good relationship with Ke Yunyan in front of the eldest lady.

In the end, seeing the eldest lady's solemn face, she lowered her voice and said: "What kind of character Princess Huihe is, the eldest aunt also knows, if I am really framed for killing the horse, I am afraid that she will let me die at that time, how can I wait until Prince Jing comes back from the south." Niangniang is only the daughter of the princess, and although there is no injustice in her actions, she is not biased. Concubine Xian did this because she wanted to spoil the mother-son relationship between King Jing and Niangniang, and she used human lives to pile it up, which can not be described as vicious. ”

The eldest lady also had a solemn face, and after thinking for a moment, she patted Gu Qingwan's hand and said with pity: "Poor one, I'm afraid you have also been frightened a lot." I also met Concubine Xian a few times when I was in the boudoir, and she was very easy to get along with. Over the years, she has been known for her kindness in the palace, but she didn't expect ......"

No matter how kind a person is, as long as he has a trace of ambition, how can he not be tempted by such a big temptation as the throne in front of him? Gu Qingwan was a little disappreciative in her heart, but she just listened to the meaning of the eldest lady, and seemed to be thinking about dealing with Concubine Xian.

After asking clearly, the eldest lady revealed the matter in one word, and then talked to Gu Qingwan about the rest. While he was talking, he saw a maid open the curtain and whispered, "Madam, the fifth girl is asking to see you outside." ”

The eldest lady glanced at Gu Qingwan, and was about to refuse, when she saw a little more smile on Gu Qingwan's face: "Since it's the fifth sister, let her come in and talk, no matter what, you can't let her run for nothing." ”

The eldest lady's face froze, and she nodded to the maid waiting at the curtain with a wooden face.

Not long after, Gu Qingyan stepped in with broken steps, and when she saw Gu Qingwan, she smiled very embarrassedly: "I originally wanted to talk to the eldest aunt and the eldest sister, but I didn't expect the third sister to be here, I think it was to disturb your interest." After that, she hesitated again and hesitated, "Otherwise, I'll come back another day to talk to my eldest sister." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to leave.

After today, Gu Qingshu returned to Ning and didn't know what day it was, Gu Qingyan took Gu Qingshu as an excuse to want someone to keep her.

Gu Qingwan smiled at the corner of her mouth but didn't speak, the eldest lady glanced at Gu Qingwan, and thought that Gu Qingyan was going to marry to the Liguo Mansion in the future, she sighed in her heart, and then said: "Qingyan, you wait, your eldest sister doesn't know when she will go back to the house next time, you sit here, I will send someone to invite your eldest sister to come over." Besides, you and Qingwan think that they haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's stay and talk together. ”

Gu Qingyan paused, then smiled at Gu Qingwan, and sat down under Gu Qingwan.

"I don't know why the third brother-in-law didn't come today, the eldest brother-in-law and the fourth brother-in-law are talking to the eldest uncle and father outside." Gu Qingyan said a few words to the eldest lady, then turned her head and asked Gu Qingwan.

Gu Qingwan glanced at Gu Qingyan, and then said indifferently: "Whether the prince comes or not, but it is not for me to decide." ”

"How could my sister not be the master? The third brother-in-law must listen to the third sister in everything, who doesn't know that the prince is ......" Gu Qingyan suddenly silenced when she said this, only covered her mouth and smiled, but she didn't say any more, but the meaning in her voice was self-evident.

The eldest lady listened on the side, but secretly scolded Gu Qingyan for being stupid.

Gu Qingwan, who was not welcomed at home before, turned into a princess, and pressed Gu Qingyan everywhere, which made the little Sun family die. This time Gu Qingwan returned to Ning, the old lady was afraid that Gu Qingwan would block her heart, so she actually ordered the little Sun family not to leave Jinhui Hall, how could Gu Qingyan endure this breath in her heart.

It's just that Gu Qingyan will marry the eldest son of the Liguo Mansion in a few days, and Gu Qingwan also had some thoughts about Xie Ziran back then, which made Gu Qingyan proud again for a while. Probably because she has been suppressed for a long time, she is proud of it, but it is inevitable that she will get a little carried away.

"The slave maid heard that today the uncle also invited the son of the Xie family to come over." As soon as Gu Qingyan's words fell, the maid beside her answered.

Gu Qingwan raised her eyes and looked, but she could barely remember the maid named Liyun beside Gu Qingyan. The maid beside Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingyan's most impressive one is a person named Xingyu. It was picked by Xiao Sun personally for Gu Qingyan, Xingyu, who spoke sharply and tactfully, was very difficult to deal with.

It's just that Xingyu has reached her age, and she was released out of the house with that batch of maids half a year ago to marry herself, so only Liyun is left with Gu Qingyan's side.

Compared with Xingyu, Liyun is not a little worse.

Hearing Li Yun mention Xie Ziran, Gu Qingyan's face turned red again, and her eyes involuntarily drifted towards Gu Qingwan. Back then, Gu Qingwan admired Xie Ziran for a long time, but the falling flowers were intentionally ruthless, with Gu Qingwan's character, how could Xie Ziran look down on her.

Speaking of which, she can have today's good marriage, thanks to Gu Qingwan.

Gu Qingyan was very proud in her heart, looking at Gu Qingwan's eyes, there was a little disdain in her eyes, what if it was the princess, her husband was a fool, and her sweetheart belonged to her in the end, Gu Qingwan was just a pitiful person in front of her.

The eldest lady naturally heard the meaning of Li Yun's words, and her face couldn't help but turn cold. Regardless of whether this maid's words were instructed by Gu Qingyan before, such a presumptuous maid, their Gu family really can't afford it.

Just as the eldest lady was wondering whether to let Old Madam Gu come forward to send Li Yun to marry, she heard Gu Qingwan say coldly: "I didn't expect the fifth sister to know so clearly about the affairs of the outer courtyard, it must be that the little Sun family taught her too well." ”

Gu Qingwan glanced coldly at Liyun, who was shrinking behind Gu Qingyan, then turned her head and smiled at the eldest lady: "It's not too early, before going out, the prince told me to go back early, and after I said hello to the old lady, I went straight back to the house." ”

Without waiting for the eldest lady to react, she took Baotian and Jin Hai out of the Humble Administrator's Hall.

The eldest lady glanced at Gu Qingyan quite complainingly, she still had a lot of things to ask Gu Qingwan, but now looking at it, it seems that she can't keep people anymore. It's the same if you ask again in the future, anyway, Gu Qingwan is a person who can carry it clearly, and the big room and the second room are very clearly separated, and she has never given her a look.

Thinking like this, the eldest lady was still a little interested, so she waved her hand and said to Gu Qingyan: "Your eldest sister hasn't come out yet, there must be something delayed, you go back first, and I'll tell your eldest sister that you came to look for her later." ”

Anyway, the purpose of her coming was not to talk to Gu Qingshu, hearing this, Gu Qingyan nodded, and walked out quickly.

The maid next to the eldest lady saw that the eldest lady sat for a long time but did not speak, so she reminded her when she was worried, and only after a while did she hear the eldest lady say quietly: "The Duchess of Liguo looks very good at talking, but she is also an inconspicuous person, but she is actually powerful." If the fifth girl's character does not change and marries into the Liguo Mansion, I am afraid that she will suffer. ”

Weiyu smiled and said: "The left and right are not the business of our big house, and this family matter is not the thread drawn by the lady, what is the lady worried about the second wife?" We already have the in-laws of Rui Wangfu, if we grasp this well, the family affairs of the five girls are just icing on the cake. ”

Previously, the eldest lady did not like the Liguo Mansion, Gu Qingyan's family affair was brought by the little Sun family herself. Then Gu Qingyan suffered any grievances in the Liguo Mansion, and she could ignore it.

"It's me who wants to be left." The eldest lady thought about it and stood up with a smile, "Let's go, let's go and see Brother Qiao." ”
