Chapter 103: Surrender
Gu Qingwan had a hint of praise for Xiaolan, this girl was just the most ordinary little maid in the backyard, in terms of appearance, she was not as good as her sister Lingxiu, and the work she did was just a rough job that no one wanted to do like cleaning the backyard, how could she see that the powerful people around her were Zilan and Ziyu? It seems that Little Green doesn't know what to do, but this sister is not bad.
She suddenly asked: "You saw your sister being killed last night, why did you go to Begonia Garden in the first place?" ”
Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Gu Qingwan to suddenly ask this question, so she only said truthfully: "Because the slave knows that the second master loves the third young master the most, the only one in the family who has power and is willing to be the master of the slave is the old lady!" The old lady is a believer in Buddhism, and she will definitely blame the young master for killing people, so that the house will be polluted with filth and punish him! ”
Gu Qingwan nodded and was a little more sophisticated about this inconspicuous-looking little blue, a rough girl who hardly touches her master on weekdays can grasp the thoughts of every master in the house so clearly, it can be seen that her observation is subtle, and it can also be seen that this is a girl with a very brain.
"You're smart, but sometimes people are too smart, I'm afraid you're going to get into trouble!" Gu Qingwan sighed, a luster of unknown meaning flashed in her eyes.
Xiaolan trembled slightly, and her heart was furious when she was looked at by Gu Qingwan's terrifying eyes, but in the end, she knew that since the eldest lady was willing to let her come to see her late at night, she intended to help her, so she mustered up her courage and said: "Miss, the slave knows that it is difficult for you to trust the slave and maid for a while, but over the years, the slave and maid have also mastered a lot of lady's affairs through their sister, although it is not much, but it must be helpful to the young lady, all the slave and maid want is to settle down!" ”
"Well, seeing that you are also a pitiful person, I will not scare you! It's just that now the girl around me is enough, and there is no shortage of you, but my sister is now suffering from a vicious disease and is sick in bed, if you can serve the second lady, it would be excellent! Gu Qingwan said with a sudden smile.
Xiao Lan looked at Gu Qingwan in surprise, but suddenly seemed to understand something, frowned worriedly, and asked, "How could the second lady be willing to let the slave maid serve the second lady, she is afraid that she has long been jealous of the slave maid because of the matter of the slave maid's sister!" ”
Gu Qingwan shook her head and said, "Your sister is your sister, you are you...... The second lady is the second lady, and the second lady is the second lady, do you understand? ”
Xiaolan still couldn't react, and looked at Gu Qingwan suspiciously, not quite understanding what she meant.
Gu Qingwan sighed before explaining: "If you follow me, the second lady will try her best to get rid of your whole family, because Xiao Lu knows too many things about her, can she not be afraid of you?" But if you go to the second lady now, and take the initiative to serve the sick second lady, not only will she not kill you, but also reuse you well, and in the future, the second lady's illness will be cured, and you will also become the most powerful girl in front of the second lady because of your companionship in times of crisis, this is a good deal, don't you understand? ”
Gu Qingyue didn't know what evil she had fallen, her high fever did not go away, she kept falling asleep, and occasionally she woke up and yelled, the maids in her house were all injured by her, and basically no one dared to approach her.
Xiaolan opened her mouth slightly, looking at Gu Qingwan, feeling that this eldest lady was not the same person she knew in the past. They have the same appearance, but they have very different styles. She was obviously calculating something, but it was as if she was thinking about others.
Xiaolan lowered her head slightly, thought for a long time, and then kowtowed to Gu Qingwan and said, "Miss, the slave understands, thank you for saving your life!" It is difficult to repay the slave and maid for their death! ”
Gu Qingwan smiled slightly, she didn't seem to take it to heart, she just said: "Serving the second lady is not a good errand, how to gain the trust of the second lady I can't help you, everything depends on your own ability......"
Xiaolan nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, the slave has her own way, and the slave will also help the eldest lady to serve the second lady well, and she will not disappoint the eldest lady!" ”
Xiao Lan's eyes flashed with a sincere luster, and from this moment on, she had already identified Gu Qingwan as the master. Although she only said a few words, it was these few words that showed her the way.
In fact, with Xiaolan's ability, she will never be just a rough girl all these years, she just sees the backyard of the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion too clearly, her sister has taken refuge in the second lady and helped her do a lot of things that should not be done, she is wise to protect herself, she just wants to settle down in the mansion, and she doesn't want any glory and wealth.
But Xiao Midori died, and was killed by the master she took refuge in, and as a sister, there was no way to avenge her, but she had to clean up the mess for her and keep her parents at home. That's why she found Gu Qingwan and prepared to stand in line in this complicated inner courtyard struggle.
Gu Qingwan did not disappoint her, she not only helped herself find the best way to survive, but also quietly wanted to insert herself into the enemy's camp, such a smart and resourceful girl was the master she wanted to take refuge in.
Xiaolan is a very discerning girl, she believes in her choice, and is willing to work hard for this choice, the second lady is ruthless, the third young master is vicious, the second lady and the second lady are the same, but because she is young, she has no brains, and the only eldest lady who is quiet but gradually reverses the situation stands out and becomes a new force in the backyard of the Yuanhou Mansion in this town.
The old lady didn't think about it, but she finally gave up, because there was no shortage of powerful and loyal girls in front of the old lady, and she had long been useless, and only the eldest lady was the best choice.
Gu Qingwan took Xiaolan's series of expressions into her eyes, and had to praise, this girl has a very sharp mind, if she can really use it, it would be excellent. The reason why she didn't put it by her side was because she didn't believe her, so she would never accept someone who came to take refuge halfway, but it was extremely useful to put it next to Gu Qingyue, if she turned against the water, she had a way to kill her, if she was loyal, she would have one more help, and she wouldn't lose anything.
Xiaolan achieved her goal, thanked Gu Qingwan, and left quietly, and when she returned to the next room, she thought about it all night, and still made up her mind to do what Gu Qingwan said.
After Xiaolan left, Zilan asked uneasily: "Miss, do you really believe this Xiaolan, the slave maid sees that she is not a fuel-efficient lamp!" ”
Gu Qingwan smiled and said, "So what, she will be Gu Qingyue's person in the future, and if she doesn't worry, then Gu Qingyue is not worried, what does it have to do with me?" ”
"Huh? Then why did you save her? Zilan was a little puzzled.
Gu Qingwan didn't speak, but Mama Qin opened her mouth to explain: "Why can't you see this clearly, the nails that were sent to the door on your own initiative can be used for a good time, take 10,000 steps back, and if you don't need to pull it out in the future, throw it away, this is a big bargain, how can you not take advantage of it?" ”
Zilan suddenly realized, sincerely admired her own young lady, let herself go out and spread a few words, and killed Xiao Lu, who had been betraying the second young master, and even let the third young master be severely punished, so that they suffered a secret loss and could not find anyone to reason.
Now there is a smart and clever Xiaolan who took the initiative to surrender, which is really a lot of money! Miss is really far-sighted, her kind of cleverness is really beyond her reach!
It was late at night, Gu Qingwan finally rested with peace of mind, this turmoil finally came to an end, and she also had time to arrange Zhao'er's future.
Early the next morning, Gu Qingwan woke up, ate some breakfast casually, and instructed Mama Qin to put the big white goose she raised a few months ago in a cage, and then prepare to go out.
Ziyu looked at the white and beautiful big white goose in the cage, it was really a little strange, and asked, "Miss, where are you going to take some geese?" ”
Gu Qingwan smiled and said, "Go and release the goose!" ”
Ziyu scratched her head, she really didn't understand, but seeing that Gu Qingwan seemed to be very happy, she also became happy, maybe Miss likes geese now.
With Zilan and Ziyu, I went to Minghu, which is not a scenic spot, but it is better than nature, beautiful and quiet. Let the family who followed wait in the distance, Gu Qingwan only took Zilan and Ziyu to the river alone.
"Herd the geese into the lake and let them splash in the water!" Gu Qingwan said with a smile.
Zilan and Ziyu hurriedly opened the cage, and the big white goose squeaked happily, and then consciously swaggered down the lake.
Unlike other places, although it is not yet summer, the lake is still relatively warm, which may be related to the fact that the water of Minghu Lake is mostly underground springs.
There were very few people who came here in the morning, so Gu Qingwan quietly watched a few geese playing in the water by the lake, and occasionally hummed a little tune or two.
Not long after, I saw an old man wearing a gray cotton cloth not far away, followed by a seven or eight-year-old boy, coming here along the lake.
"Sir, sir...... You see, the white goose is so well raised! The little boy chirped behind the old man and looked delighted.
The old man looked at the big white goose in the river with his eyes, almost couldn't move, and looked around carefully, but saw that there were only a few little girls enjoying the scenery by the lake not far away, and frowned slightly.
"Whose goose is this, why did you put it in Minghu?" The old man seemed to be deliberately putting his voice very bright, and he kept looking at Gu Qingwan, as if he was testing something.
Zilan was about to reply, but was stopped by Gu Qingwan, and she continued to watch the big white goose quietly on the side.
When the boy saw that no one was talking, he was even more happy, and pulled the old man's clothes, and said: "Sir, this goose is estimated to have been lost and ran to play, why don't we take the goose away, if you leave it alone, it's a pity, the weather is getting colder and colder, and you will freeze to death!" ”
The old man nodded in agreement, and deliberately raised his voice again, echoing: "Hey...... All beings are equal, since we see it, let's be compassionate! ”
The little boy took out a packet of food from his bosom to lure the geese and sprinkled it in the water, and in a short time the big white geese came together and swam in the direction of the food to the shore.
