Chapter Twenty-Seven: Disappointed
After a burst of Sissisoso's sound, Liu Jing walked out. Because she has never smeared lard mixed with the ash at the bottom of the pot on her face, and she has not painted her face and thrush, Liu Jing, who has changed back to men's clothes again, has a surprisingly white and tender face, and her eyebrows and eyes are too beautiful. In this way, she no longer looks like a teenager, but a woman in her brother's robe.
But Liu Jing is not in the mood to pay attention to this now. After she changed into a man's robe and walked in front of Gu Cheng, she gave him a deep squeeze and said in a clear voice, "I'm disturbing Gu Lang today." With that, she turned, and though her face was pale, she walked out with a steady step.
Gu Cheng opened his eyes, he looked at Liu Jing's straight back, watched her take a deep breath, pushed open the door of the study calmly, and watched her walk slowly to the courtyard.
As soon as Liu Jing left the courtyard where Gu Cheng lived, she was stopped by the three sisters-in-law who were outside. The sister-in-law surnamed Min was okay, she was left behind, just turned her head sideways and looked at the big tree next to her, while the other two sisters-in-law blocked Liu Jing left and right.
Looking at her dressed as a man, they showed a trance-like expression at the same time, and a sister-in-law asked, "It turns out that you entered the mansion as a man...... Say, what is your relationship with Gu Lang? ”
The other sister-in-law stared at her vigilantly and asked softly, "You have known Gu Lang for a long time?" You can't grow up together, right? ”
Liu Jing was depressed at this time, and she was not in the mood to deal with them, of course, she didn't dare to offend them. At that moment, she shook her head and replied softly: "My family and the Gu family, who have been neighbors for two months, were originally neighbors for two months, and it was I who knew that Gu Lang came to Wu County, so I wanted to ask him for help......"
As soon as her voice fell, a woman immediately said disdainfully: "It turned out that I came to fight the autumn wind." ”
"I'll just say, how could a noble person like Gu Lang know a broken family like you?" Is she ruined? When her parents were in the past, you only had to look up to your kind of house!
However, these Liu Jing will not say it. She stood there with her eyes downcast, silently allowing them to attack.
Seeing that Liu Jing's face was pale and her expression was sad, the two sisters-in-law also understood: she must have not received any benefits from Gu Lang.
Thinking about it like this, the second daughter was in a good mood, and immediately waved her hand to get out of the way, "Let's go, let's go, don't be an eyesore here." "Don't approach Gu Lang shamelessly in the future!"
In the last sentence, when the sister-in-law said it, although her voice was thin, her tone was unusually vicious. Liu Jing was stunned, she really didn't want to make trouble, so she nodded hurriedly and said crisply and seriously: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I don't dare." She smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't dare, in the future, I won't approach Gu Lang again." ”
The sister-in-law smiled proudly, and before she could reply, the sister-in-law of the Min family on one side suddenly called in a trembling voice: "Gu, Gu Lang, what's wrong with you, why are you here?" ”
As soon as this call came out, several people froze. The sisters-in-law slowly turned their heads and looked at the pale and noble handsome young man who walked out of the courtyard and was standing quietly at the gate of the garden without knowing when.
Under the sun, Gu Cheng's face became more and more pale and transparent, and this kind of face made him feel vulnerable. However, his dark and dark eyes looked at Liu Jing and the others, but they were cold! It's an indescribable chill and ice! It was as if he was suppressing boundless anger.
He just stood there, handsome and elegant, pale and fragile, but the four women brushed their bodies coldly. In the extreme silence, Gu Cheng arrogantly withdrew his gaze, turned around gracefully, and flicked his sleeves back into the courtyard.
Looking at his back, a sister-in-law said in a trembling voice: "Is Gu Lang angry?" He must not like us being so jealous. "He looked at me like that just now, it's terrifying......"
The sisters-in-law were scared, so they couldn't take care of Liu Jing. Seeing that their attention was no longer on themselves, Liu Jing walked away, and in a blink of an eye, she left the Min Mansion.
It wasn't until she got into her own carriage that Liu Jing thought: What has happened in the past six years? Ah Cheng: He has become such a stranger.
Just thinking of this, Liu Jing thought of his cold and ruthless words just now, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Shaking her head, she thought tiredly: It's been six years, he's not him anymore, I'm not me, what else do you want to do? In a blink of an eye, she thought again: I tricked and deceived him when I was young, and now he is taking the marriage contract as a child's play, trying to mislead my youth...... We don't owe each other. Anyway, I won't have a few chances to see him again in the future, so I'm still concentrating on how to rescue my father.
The carriage returned to Liufu in Liu Jing's trance.
As soon as she entered the house, Liu Jing walked towards her room. Mother Liu had long known that she was back, and had been waiting for Liu Jing to come out. But until night, Liu Jing was still in the study.
Liu Mu couldn't help it, and in the sunset, she pushed open the door and walked in.
Her daughter was standing quietly by the window, gazing at the sky outside. Mother Liu came in, and she didn't know anything yet.
Pressing the uneasiness in her heart, Liu Mu called softly: "Jing'er! ”
After two calls in a row, Liu Jing woke up from her trance, and she looked back at Liu Mu.
Mother Liu asked worriedly, "Child, what's wrong with you?" Isn't it not going well to lock yourself in your room as soon as you enter the door? Is that Gu Erlang? ”
Liu Jing nodded, she stepped forward to help her mother sit on the couch, and she also sat down opposite her, and then, Liu Jing whispered, "He is Gu Erlang, but he doesn't agree to dissolve the marriage contract." As soon as she said this, Liu Mu said in surprise: "He forgave you?" Is he still willing to marry you? ”
Liu Jing shook her head again, and she thought on the way that Gu Cheng couldn't tell her mother about the reasons he said, let alone tell her mother what he said about delaying her for five years and then dissolving the marriage contract...... Mother is very angry, if she knows that Gu Cheng thinks so, I am afraid that she will run to make trouble regardless of it. If you really want to make a fuss, even if Gu Cheng himself is silent, those who want to please him will become an obstacle to his rescue of his father.
After being silent for a while, Liu Jing whispered in Liu's mother's puzzled eyes: "He only said one or two words to me, anyway, he didn't agree to dissolve the marriage contract, and he didn't want to help us rescue my father." ”
Mother Liu was greatly disappointed when she heard this.
Afraid that her mother would not give up, in order to save her father, she quietly begged Gu Cheng, and then was stimulated by Gu Cheng to say something irreparable, Liu Jing said again: "Gu Cheng is very popular with those sisters-in-law now." When I came out, they stopped me, first asked me what my relationship was with Gu Cheng, and when they saw that I denied it, they warned that if I approached Gu Cheng again, we would not be able to stay in Wu County. Mother, that Gu Cheng is so handsome, I inquired that whenever anyone approaches him, those sisters-in-law will send someone to investigate the details. Now Gu Cheng is clearly unwilling to help his father, mother, don't go to him, don't ask Gu Cheng when the time comes, but let those sisters-in-law investigate us. It would be bad if they knew that I had a marriage contract with Gu Cheng, and they couldn't get angry and turned to harm my father in prison. ”
Mother Liu has been obedient to her daughter for a while, and when she heard this, she nodded in fright and said, "Okay, mother won't go, mother won't go." Just as she spoke, Mother Liu was already in tears...... God is pitiful, when Zhilu Dao's daughter may have met Gu Erlang himself, she was so expectant. Now, it's down again.
Just when Liu Mu was secretly weeping and the exhausted Liu Jing was speechless, a brisk footstep came from outside.
After a while, a servant woman rushed over, and she shouted happily to Liu Mu and Liu Jing, "Master Mother, Da Lang, Lao Wu, they are back." ”
What the?
Liu Jing stood up suddenly, she strode out, and asked urgently as she walked, "Are you all back?" ”
"Yes, they're all back."
"But anyone is hurt?"
"No, no."
As she spoke, Liu Jing had come to the hall, and there was a chatter on the floor outside the hall, and the servants of Liufu had been with each other for many years, and they had long been like relatives with each other.
Seeing Liu Jing appear, everyone hurriedly got out of the way.
When Uncle Wu and the others saw Liu Jing, they hurriedly turned around and saluted her, and Uncle Wu, who was tired of dust, took the lead and called, "Da Lang, we are back." ”
Liu Jing hurriedly stepped forward, and after a little support, she looked at Uncle Wu with concern and asked anxiously, "Uncle, how is the situation?" Turning her head, she hurriedly ordered: "Quick, prepare to cook, and bring some drinks, let everyone warm up first." ”
Uncle Wu looked at Liu Jing, who was getting more and more organized, and his eyes were red. He said softly: "Da Lang, there is really something wrong with Liu Er and Ah Wu!" ”
In the silence, a person behind Uncle Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Those two ungrateful people! Dalang, you don't know what to do, after we found Xiahe Village, we found that Liu Er and Ah Wu's families all lived in big houses, and the family was full of new clothes. I heard from the villagers that they have bought dozens of acres of land in the past few months. If they hadn't betrayed their adults, where would they have gotten all this money? ”
When Liu Jing heard this, she turned her eyes to look at Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu nodded, and he said hatefully: "This is indeed the case, I asked the date, and it happened that the adults were imprisoned, so they went back to their hometowns, and then they bought houses and land." ”
Liu Jing thought that her father was kind-hearted and never treated his subordinates lightly, but he was so plotted by this villain, and he was angry at the moment. She asked, "What about Ah Er and Liu Wu, have you seen it?" ”
Uncle Wu shook his head, and he said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because they are not in Xiahe Village that we are back. Da Lang, I have inquired, Ah Wu opened a shop in the town and went out to buy goods, and his family said that he would not come back in a month or two. As for that Liu Er, he has now become a steward next to Min Saburo of the Min Mansion, but he is majestic. However, I also inquired when I entered the city just now, and he has not been in Wu County these days. ”
It's Min Mansion again!
Liu Jing thought: It seems that my father's imprisonment may really be related to the Min Mansion.
