Chapter Twenty-Nine: Counterattack
"This is very good, can Jia Gongzi say that in the law of the Great Zhou, my sister disrespects her cousin, wantonly slanders her cousin's reputation, disregards human ethics, intends to discredit the family, has no respect for the elder, is disloyal and unfilial, unkind and unjust, what kind of crime should it be?" Gu Qingwan was still smiling, but the smile had not reached the bottom of her eyes, and a cold glint appeared in her eyes, which made people dare not look directly at her.
Her voice was still neither high nor low, but these words smashed into everyone's hearts, as soon as Gu Qingyue heard it, she knew that Gu Qingwan was going to fight back, and she would never allow Gu Qingwan to charge herself with such a crime, otherwise her life would definitely be ruined.
So Gu Qingyue cried loudly: "Sister, what do you mean by this? Where did Qingyue disrespect you? Where is there no respect for the elders, and how can they smear the family? You want to put such a crime on me, your heart is so vicious! ”
"Sister, don't worry, I'll give you a clarification!"
Gu Qingwan straightened up, Qing Lingling's voice was like jade shattering ice, and it was straight to people's hearts, "First of all, you slandered me in public for bullying the small, bullying others, and being arrogant, but do you have any evidence?" Just because you and your handmaid are kneeling and crying outside, you want me to bear such a bad name, what is your intention? Is it kneeling and crying, everyone should believe you, is it really a crying child who has milk to eat? This is disrespectful cousin! ”
"Secondly, you look at the Shu brocade and Su embroidery you are wearing, it is worth more than a thousand gold, and ordinary people can't buy things even if they have money, when do you go out for a banquet, isn't it full of splendor? Look at me again, it's just ordinary silk, and you still want to slander the second aunt for loving me more than you, where do you put the second aunt's pity? How sad would the second aunt be if she heard it? This is disloyalty and unfilial piety! ”
"Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, the second aunt is in charge, grandmother, my father and second uncle are in charge, how can I bully you? If you are really wronged, why don't you go and explain to your father, second uncle and grandmother, you have to cry outside and grab the ground, can't the elders in the family make decisions for you? I have repeatedly advised you to go back to your home, but you have ignored it in order to give me notoriety! You're not smearing the family, you don't have respect for the elders, what is it? ”
"A dignified concubine, but she wants to learn the style that can't be put on the table, kneel in public, you are shameless, I can't afford to lose this person in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion!"
After Gu Qingwan finished speaking, she turned her head in disappointment, as if she didn't even bother to look at this sister who had made the family lose face.
Many spectators finally woke up, this Gu Qingyue is really vicious! Obviously, Gu Qingwan was rumored to be an arrogant and domineering woman in the past, but now she has to bear the notoriety of bullying her sister and make a lot of noise outside, doesn't it disgrace the family?
The nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which family does not attach importance to reputation, all believe that family ugliness cannot be publicized, even if they are wronged, they should seek justice from the elders in the family, not messing around outside, which will only make people look down on them!
Facing everyone's pointing and pointing, Gu Qingyue knew that the general trend had gone, she looked at Gu Qingwan with a hateful expression, but she didn't expect that arrogant and domineering, elm-headed slut, would have such a thought, she and her mother were too careless, thinking that Gu Qingwan was still the original Gu Qingwan.
Now that Gu Qingwan has buttoned down such a big hat, her reputation will be ruined, and if this matter is known by her grandmother and father, especially by her uncle, she and her mother will be punished.
originally thought that as long as Gu Qingwan's reputation was ruined, her father and grandmother would only blame Gu Qingwan for disgraceing the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, and she would definitely not be implicated, and as long as she put on a posture of defending her sister and not caring about her later, she would definitely win everyone's appreciation and kill two birds with one stone, but she didn't expect Gu Qingwan to be so sharp and sharp-tongued, and she would talk about the laws of the Great Zhou.
"Master Jia, you haven't answered my question yet!" Gu Qingwan's eyes stared coldly at Jia Renyi, who was silent on the side, she would definitely not let go of this person who dared to accuse her indiscriminately.
When Jia Renyi heard that Gu Qingwan was pointing the finger at him again, he suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, he really shouldn't have been involved in this matter, and now he has caused trouble for himself, because he just accused Gu Qingwan of bullying his sister.
"I ...... I ......" Jia Renyi couldn't even say a word.
Ji Rou stood up indignantly at this time and said, "Miss Gu Er, you really make me feel ashamed of you like this, what do you look like crying, don't rely on your young age, you can slander others at will if you can cry!" She is your own sister, how vicious you are! ”
"You...... You talk nonsense, you ...... You have all been deceived by her, woo woo ......" Gu Qingyue couldn't pretend to be innocent anymore at this time, showing a resentful expression, as if everyone in the audience had bullied her.
Others don't know, but Gu Qingwan knows that Ji Rou has a sister in her family, who is also the same as Gu Qingyue, and often makes Ji Rou suffer dumb losses, so Ji Rou is so disgusted with Gu Qingyue and takes the initiative to stand up for her.
Ji Rou rolled her eyes disdainfully and said to the nobles, "Did you hear that?" We are all fools, we have all been deceived, it's really funny, Miss Gu has no mother since she was a child, but this Miss Gu Er's mother is the head of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, can her daughter suffer such a big grievance? We're all stupid! ”
Gu Tianyuan handed over the entire Gu family to the second room to take care of, and the Lu family was not the head of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Everyone also nodded, thinking that what Ji Rou said was reasonable, how could anyone who had his mother alive be bullied by a sister who had no mother's protection! If Second Mrs. Gu was really so good to her niece, then why didn't she bring Miss Gu to the banquet in the past, and she always brought her own daughter to participate?
"That is to say, at such a young age, the eldest lady of the Gu family is pitiful, without the protection of her mother, she has to be insulted by the sister in the second room, how can this be reasonable!" On the side, the young lady of the military department's squire family, who was good friends with Ji Rou, Feng Chuchu opened his mouth to agree.
Everyone also began to talk about it, and what they said was all accusing Gu Qingyue, public opinion is like this, whoever has the upper hand will favor whom, and sympathize with the weak, a young lady with both parents, and a young lady whose mother died early, who is the weak, isn't it clear at a glance?
Gu Qingyue finally couldn't resist it, she cried even more, fell into Chun'er's arms, sobbed vigorously, and said, "I'm not alive anymore, how can you reverse right and wrong, black and white?" Sister, you are so vicious, you slander me like this! ”
"Yue'er, you are enough, at this time, I still keep saying that I am vicious, if I am really vicious, I should go to sue the official, the law of the Great Zhou, for your behavior, the lightest should be sentenced to a hundred lashes, am I right, Jia Gongzi?" Gu Qingwan led the conversation to Jia Renyi again.
At this time, everyone paid attention to Jia Renyi again, and seeing his embarrassment, they resignedly said, "This ...... I...... You are sisters, or you value harmony, and peace is precious! ”
At this time, he persuaded people to value peace, didn't he just accuse Gu Qingwan of being vicious?
Seeing this, Zhao Yueli hurriedly called the little maid and said, "Invite this Jia Gongzi out, the banquet has not started yet, and male guests are not accepted in the back garden!" ”
The little guy wanted to step forward to pull people, Jia Renyi glanced at Gu Qingwan and Zhao Yueli hatefully, and then brushed his sleeves and left, and then glanced at Gu Qingyue with pear blossoms and rain stupidly, although she is only a thirteen-year-old lady, she has been so moving, and she will definitely be a big beauty in the future.
Gu Qingyue saw that the last person who spoke for herself was driven away, and looked at Zhao Yueli pitifully, and said, "Sister Yueli...... Whining...... Yue'er is wrong, Yue'er shouldn't have made such a fuss at your family's banquet, but, but Yue'er didn't mean it, Chun'er was also upset for me, don't blame her! ”
Seeing that Zhao Yueli was also on Gu Qingwan's side, Gu Qingyue simply put the blame on Chun'er, and refused to admit that she had slandered Gu Qingwan.
Before Zhao Yueli could speak, she was blocked by Gu Qingyue, and her face was a little unsightly for a while, a maid dared to do this, it was not instructed by the master, when she Zhao Yueli really had never seen the world?
Chun'er heard this, and hurriedly said, "No, Miss Zhao, if you want to blame, blame the slave!" The slave maid just can't get used to the eldest lady's actions, and it has nothing to do with the second lady of my family, but the slave maid is not as articulate as the eldest lady, and she doesn't know any laws, and the slave maid only wants to seek justice for the second lady! ”
Gu Qingwan stared at Chun'er coldly, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Chun'er, you slave has a bad mind, and you are trying to take advantage of Yue'er's young and ignorant to harm her!" You just hated me last time because you didn't respect the master, and beat you thirty boards, so now provoke Yue'er to hate my sister, what a slave, I will definitely show my second aunt and grandmother when I go back, and sell you, lest the good young lady be taught bad by you! ”
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qingyue suddenly had an idea, since Gu Qingwan can't be destroyed today, then she can't carry her disrespectful cousin and smear the family's notoriety.
So he looked at Gu Qingwan pitifully and said, "Sister, Yue'er is wrong, Yue'er never thought of slandering her sister, it was Chun'er who made trouble here on her own initiative, and I hope that my sister Mingjian, don't misunderstand Yue'er!" ”
Chun'er looked at Gu Qingyue in disbelief, she didn't know that she was betrayed by her master at this time, she glanced at Gu Qingwan in a panic, and seeing that the ridicule in her eyes was so obvious, she quickly knelt down and begged: "No...... Miss, the slave maid didn't, the second miss, why did you treat me like this, the slave maid is all for you, you want the slave to take the blame for you! ”
"It's obviously your fault, it's you who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy as soon as you came in, and kept saying that my sister bullied me, not because you were punished by your sister last time and held a grudge, I'm young and ignorant, so you blame me for discord with my sister, you are ill-intentioned!" Gu Qingyue looked at Chun'er with an angry expression, as if Chun'er had really done something to betray her master.
Gu Qingwan shook her head secretly, Gu Qingyue was really a vicious person, seeing that everyone was accusing her of slandering her sister's reputation, she was powerless to win back a city, so she had to push Chun'er out as a scapegoat, so she had to scheming!
But this is also in line with her wishes, Now she is still young, if she cares about her, she will only be laughed at by others, saying that the two young ladies of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion are not in harmony, the younger sister calculates the elder sister, and the elder sister calculates the younger sister, so that the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is ashamed, and the father is ashamed. And in a few years, others will forget about this stubble, and Gu Qingyue will still be able to thrive in the aristocratic circle.
