Chapter 38: Conspiracy (1)
Gu Qingwan fiddled with her nails, didn't even look at her, and said casually: "Are you really Miss Ben unable to see your intentions?" Those who know the times are Junjie, and the current deed of sale of your family is in my hands, and you should know what to do. Say, what did the Lu family have in mind when they arranged you in Luofeng Garden? ”
Xiao Lu knew that now that the second lady had fallen, how could she still care about the life and death of their subordinates, and now the real master of the Hou Mansion was no longer the second room, the eldest lady was giving her a chance to reform herself, she must seize it, so she kowtowed and said: "Eldest Miss, the second lady sent a slave maid to monitor Young Master Zhao's every move in Luofeng Garden, and the slave maid deliberately guided Young Master Zhao to say the wrong thing in front of the old lady, instigated Young Master Zhao to skip class and not study, and deliberately taught Young Master Zhao to do wrong things, If you want to teach him to be a gentleman who doesn't learn and don't know how to do it, you have to separate the relationship between Young Master Zhao and the eldest lady. even let the slaves and maids drug Young Master Zhao's meals every day, so that Young Master Zhao's body became weaker and weaker, and in the end, when his body collapsed, he couldn't compete with Young Master An for the position of Hou Ye. ”
Ziyu Zilan and the two girls listened to it in horror, but they didn't expect the second lady to have such a mind, it was simply vicious. The position of the Marquis of Zhenyuan has always been inherited by the long house, but I didn't expect the second lady to covet the position of the marquis.
Although Gu Qingwan was angry, she didn't show half a point on her face, she had long known the ambition of the wolf son in the second room, but she didn't expect that she had already started planning now, she thought of her lost brother, who was also the handiwork of the second room, and now the second room has begun to attack Gu Qingzhao, so during this time, Liu's condition has been getting worse because of the cold, and now that I think about it, someone must have done it.
"The slave maid has only started to take medicine in the last two days, Young Master Zhao is not affected by the medicine much now, as long as it stops, Young Master Zhao's body will not be damaged in the near future. In the past, it was the slave maid who was blinded by lard, so she betrayed her master, and asked the eldest lady to give the slave and maid a chance to reform themselves, and the slave and maid were left to the eldest lady in the future. ”
Gu Qingwan nodded with satisfaction, "You are a smart person, now Miss Ben will give you a chance to reform yourself." ”
gave Zilan a look, and Zilan was ordered to walk up to Xiao Lu and give an ear to give instructions.
Xiao Lu looked up at her in surprise, although Gu Qingwan was smiling, the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and there was a shocking condensation in her deep eyes. In an instant, Xiao Lu only felt that she was falling into the cold winter, and she suddenly realized that this eldest lady was really not simple, and the second lady was destined to fall into the hands of the eldest lady.
……
On the wall of Shengjing City, there are several human heads, which have begun to rot under the scorching sun.
The crowd of onlookers pointed to it and talked about it.
"Whose head is hanging on it?"
"Hey, that's the Marquis of Zhenyuan, his family, and the generals who died with him."
"These are all heroes who guarded the border and resisted the Turks, why did they die so miserably!" Some people sighed, and the tone was regretful and incomprehensible.
"Shhhh The whisper was heard by the officers and soldiers, and he died. I heard that it was Gu Shilang, the younger brother of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who presented the letter to the Holy Lord that the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the King of Yunnan were going to rebel, and Gu Shilang killed his relatives to expose the rebels, and the Holy Lord rewarded him and gave the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan to Gu Shilang. ”
"But who doesn't know that Marquis Zhenyuan is a great hero, how can he rebel?"
"You don't know this, how can the Holy Lord allow him to live."
"Alas! It's really a pity, now the border pass and the Turks have been defeated and retreated, it is said that the Holy Lord has sent envoys to sue for peace, if the Marquis of Zhenyuan is here, how can these barbarians be so arrogant! ”
She was drowned in the crowd, staring at the walls with grief and despair in her eyes. She clutched her sleeves tightly, tears blurred her vision, her nails pinched her palms fiercely, and she bit her lip tightly for fear that she would cry.
Her father, stepmother, uncles, and two of her maidservants were all dead, and now she was the only one left in the entire Gu family's house.
She wants revenge! She wants revenge!
"Miss Gu, let's go, we have to go to Chenzhou to find the master quickly, you can rest assured that the master will help you take revenge."
"Let's go, Miss Gu."
She took one last look at them deeply, imprinted deeply in her eyes, and remembered them firmly.
Gu Qingwan woke up from her dream, sat up from the bed suddenly, hugged the quilt tightly with her hands, and gasped for breath, the sweat of the bean was dripping down her cheeks, her hair was also wet with sweat, and a large piece of it was wet under her body.
The sound of her getting up alarmed Zilan and Ziyu, who were guarding outside, and when they came in, they saw their young lady sitting on the bed in a daze.
"Miss, are you alright......" Zilan and Ziyu asked nervously as they stood beside the bed.
Yes, she had nightmares again, a whole nightmare, the fragments of the past and present lives were chaotically tangled, she dreamed that her father was killed, the door of the long house was beheaded, she dreamed that Zilan Ziyu died tragically under the knife of the officers and soldiers in order to protect her out of the city, and dreamed that Zhao'er was struggling in pain in the sea of fire, shouting his father and mother, but at that time his parents were still at the border, and he also shouted "Sister save me!" At that time, she was still asleep and didn't know that Luofeng Yuan was on fire, the people in the house were all from the second room, and the entire Hou Mansion was in the hands of the second room.
It's ridiculous that she really thought it was just an accident at the time.
In this life, she will make these people pay for their blood debts, and none of those people can escape.
"The quilt and clothes are wet, Ziyu, you hurry up and get clean ones to change, carefully Miss has a cold." Zilan put on a golden raccoon dog fur for Gu Qingwan and helped her sit up, while Ziyu went out with the futon in her arms.
Zilan helped her sit down on the low couch beside her, took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her face, and asked, "Is the eldest lady having nightmares again?" ”
"yes, I'm having nightmares again." Her face was as white as wax, without a trace of blood. She didn't tell Zilan what she dreamed of, she just looked out the window and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"It's four watches." Ziyu walked in with a clean futon and said, "Miss, it's not dawn yet, you can rest again." ”
"Don't sleep, I'll go to Luoxingyuan, and in half a moment, my mother will get up, and I want to go and see her." A gleam flashed in her eyes, and now it's time to find out the inner ghost of the Falling Star Garden.
"Yes, I'll comb the eldest lady's hair." Zilan took the bronze mirror and said.
Gu Qingwan closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, and asked, "Where did Chunlan and the others go, I only saw the two of you." ”
"Miss, Sister Chunlan, they're keeping vigil outside." Ziyu replied.
Gu Qingwan heard her say this, opened her eyes, and glanced at her, Ziyu seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly lowered her head.
"Go through the back door, don't alarm the others." After combing her hair, Gu Qingwan commanded.
"Yes."
After passing through a few side rooms and a verandah, the group of three walked out through the back door.
Ziyu turned on the light in front, Gu Qingwan stepped on the bluestone road, the morning dew in the early morning wet the upper and skirt corners, when she walked to the Luoxing Garden, the maid Xia Zhu who was wearing a stone blue skirt was obviously taken aback when she saw her, and said after a while, "Big, eldest miss, why are you here?" ”
Gu Qingwan's gaze stayed on her face for a moment, and she said coldly, "What, I can't come?" ”
When Xia Zhu heard this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "The slave and maid don't mean this, the slave and maid don't mean that, the slave and the maid will go and inform the eldest lady." ”
Xia Zhu hurriedly entered, and in a panic, he tripped on the threshold.
Zilan muttered, "What's wrong with this sister, she seems to be flustered." ”
"Yes, it seems that I was surprised to see the eldest lady, the eldest lady is the mother of the eldest lady, isn't it normal to come and ask for good morning?" Ziyu also didn't understand the authenticity.
At this time, the curtain was lifted, and the two maids came out and said formally, "The eldest lady invites the eldest lady in." ”
Gu Qingwan nodded and walked in, only to see the eldest lady Liu leaning on the red sandalwood chair carved by the Qingluan Peony Group, she was wearing a large-sleeved skirt with a purple embroidered hundred butterfly pattern brocade face, a bun of ingots on her head, a golden hairpin on both sides, and a Chaoyang five phoenix hanging bead hairpin.
Mama Zhou was pounding her back, she was coughing from time to time holding her chest, and she was still explaining that Mama Zhou should pay more attention to Gu Qingzhao's diet, she was also only in her early thirties, Lu was like a twenty-year-old woman, bright and moving, while Liu's face was as white as wax, and she looked like she was already old.
Gu Qingwan thought of the ending of Liu's mother and son in the previous life, and she didn't feel a sour in front of her, tears flowed down, she knelt on her knees, kowtowed deeply, and said, "Mother." ”
"Wan'er, why are you here so early?" Liu Shi heard her voice and slowly opened her eyes, she has been getting along well with Gu Qingwan recently, and she also treats Gu Qingwan as her own daughter, "Get up and sit." ”
"Yes." Gu Qingwan got up, her eyes were a little red, and there were a little tears in her eyes.
"Has my mother been feeling better lately?" Gu Qingwan asked with concern.
Mama Zhou on the side answered: "Miss, Madame's health has not been good since she had a cold, and it has been getting worse and worse recently. ”
"Have you seen it with a doctor?"
"Looking for Dr. Lu, Dr. Lu said that if you take a few patches of medicine to sweat, you can get better, but I have been taking medicine for half a month, and the eldest lady's disease is getting more and more serious."
At this time, the maid Xia Zhu walked in with a bowl of medicine in both hands, stood in front of Liu, and said, "Madam, it's time to drink the medicine, drink it while it's hot." ”
"Ahem......" Liu coughed lightly twice and reached out to take it.
"This medicine is too bitter, you go to me and get some rock sugar candied fruit, and let the eldest lady eat it." Gu Qingwan suddenly stopped the bowl of medicine and ordered.
"This ......" Xia Zhu didn't expect Gu Qingwan to suddenly make such a request, so he said, "Just eat something indiscriminately, I'm afraid it will lose its medicinal properties, so don't do it." ”
