Chapter 41: Begin the layout
"Ziyu, you go and call Chunlan over, Zilan, you go and bring me the jade that my father gave me." As soon as Gu Qingwan returned to her courtyard, she commanded. She had already guessed the Lu family's plan in her heart, and now she had already begun to lay it out, and when the time came, she would wait for the Lu family to suffer the consequences.
"Yes." Zilan turned around to get the jade, and Ziyu went out and called Chunlan.
Zilan quickly took the jade over and handed it to Gu Qingwan's hand, she took the jade in her hand and played with it, she remembered that this piece of jade was given to her by her grandmother on her eighth birthday, and it was worth a lot of money.
Gu Qingwan secretly clenched the jadeite, and the cold in her eyes, which was as deep as a black hole, slowly overflowed.
After a while, Chunlan came in, she walked to Gu Qingwan's side, and said, "Miss, are you looking for a slave?" ”
Gu Qingwan said, "Today, you will help me comb my hair, and comb me the most popular style in the capital." ”
"Yes." Chunlan took the ivory comb from Zilan's hand, walked behind Gu Qingwan, and began to bow her head to comb her hair.
Gu Qingwan closed her eyes and never spoke, Zilan and Ziyu stood on both sides, they couldn't help but feel nervous, and a slight cold sweat overflowed from their backs, the two of them knew that the eldest lady was going to make a move, but they didn't know what she would do.
"Pin this hairpin to your bun." At this time, Gu Qingwan reached out and took out a hairpin from the box and handed it to Chunlan backhanded.
"Yes, Miss." Chunlan reached out to take the hairpin from Gu Qingwan's hand-
Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, Chunlan looked down, and saw a piece of jade falling to the ground and breaking into several pieces, she was suddenly startled, and said in her mouth, "This, this ......"
"Bold minion!" Gu Qingwan slapped the table suddenly, startling Chunlan, and at the same time, Zilan and Ziyu's hearts were also shocked.
"Big, big lady......" Chunlan was stunned.
"This jade is a gift from my grandmother, it is priceless, and you are so bold that you broke it to vent your anger because you were dissatisfied! Do you still take me, the eldest lady, into account? Gu Qingwan raised her hand and slapped her in the face.
"No, it's not me, Miss, I don't know, I didn't know you had a piece of jade in your hand, I didn't touch it!" Chunlan fell to her knees in fright and quickly explained.
"You still dare to quibble, this jade was obviously broken by you! I'll see how you can compensate! Zilan, Ziyu, tie her up for me and send her to the old lady! Gu Qingwan commanded sharply, she just wanted to blame Chunlan for the fault of the jade breaking.
"Yes, Miss!" Zilan and Ziyu finally understood, the two hurriedly found a rope and tied Chunlan's hands behind their backs, Chunlan was frightened, how could she have seen such a powerful lady.
"Eldest Miss Mingjian, the slave really doesn't have a ...... Ziyu, you speak, you can see it too, I didn't break it......" Chunlan looked at Ziyu with a distressed gaze and said.
Ziyu dodged her gaze, quietly took a step back, and whispered, "Yes, you broke it." ”
"You ......" Chunlan didn't expect Ziyu to say that.
"Chunlan, this is the eldest lady's beloved thing, will she break it by herself? Ziyu and I both saw that you broke the jadeite, what dissatisfaction do you have with the eldest lady, and you actually did this kind of thing to vent your anger. Zilan asked.
"I, I ......" Chunlan suddenly understood, this was the eldest lady deliberately planting a false accusation, and she couldn't argue at all, so he said, "Miss, what do you have to tell the slave and maid, slave and maid, slave and maid must do their best to ......"
A faint smile slowly condensed from the corner of Gu Qingwan's eyes, and asked, "What conspiracy does the second lady have, what is the purpose of sending you to me?" ”
When Chunlan heard this, her eyes flashed, and she immediately knelt on the ground, crying, "Eldest Miss Mingjian, the slave doesn't know anything, she doesn't know anything." ”
"Heh......" Gu Qingwan sneered and said carefully, "The day before yesterday, yesterday, and today, you met with Mama Zhang behind the rockery, under the third willow tree by the pool, and under the plum tree in the backyard, and reported to Mama Zhang every day." ”
Chunlan was shocked, her face changed suddenly, she only said that this eldest lady was confused every day, and she didn't know what to say, but she didn't expect that her every move was in her hands.
She hurriedly defended with tears in her eyes, "Yes, it was Mama Zhang who sent someone to call the slave and maid over, saying that the second lady wanted to know what the eldest lady had done all day, and see what the eldest lady needed." ”
"Oh?" Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows and said, "So, the second lady called you over to care about me?" ”
"Yes, Mama Zhang said that the second lady knew that she had done something wrong and wanted to make up for the eldest lady." Chunlan shrunk and lowered her head and said, never daring to look at Gu Qingwan's eyes.
"It's a perfect rhetoric......" Obviously, Chunlan, the maid, can't think of such a seamless speech, someone must have taught her.
Gu Qingwan's eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly burst out with a trace of evil spirit, and said sharply, "Zilan, Ziyu, go and take out the poisonous snake that the second lady caught!" ”
"Yes, Miss."
After a while, Zilan and Ziyu came over with a black net, and a poisonous snake was wriggling in it, and Chunlan was so frightened that she almost turned her back when she saw the disgusting and terrible thing.
However, the snake's teeth have been pulled out and will not bite people, Chunlan just doesn't know.
"Tie her up, put this snake in her pants, and tie the hem tight!" Gu Qingwan commanded coldly.
"No, don't, don't ......" Her hands and feet were pressed by Zilan and Ziyu, Gu Qingwan bent down, pinched the snake's seven inches, pulled Chunlan's pants apart, and stuffed the cold snake into her pants at once.
"Ah......" As soon as the cold snake touched the skin, Chunlan screamed in fright, "Big, Miss......"
It can be clearly seen that there is something squirming in Chunlan's pants, and the cold snake body is crawling around her legs, Chunlan is so frightened that her hairs stand on end and shiver.
What a cruel, terrible way to extract confessions!
"Ah, spare your life, spare your life, eldest lady......" Chunlan was afraid that the poisonous snake would bite her, so she hurriedly shouted for help, "I said, I said everything...... Let me go, let me go......"
Chunlan screamed miserably, and Gu Qingwan only looked at her numbly and coldly.
"Miss, I said, I said......" Chunlan looked at her with a pleading look for help, this eldest lady's methods were too terrible, she gave in.
"Let her go first......" Gu Qingwan signaled.
Zilan and Ziyu let go of their trousers, and the snake slipped out of the trouser legs, Gu Qingwan bent down and pinched it, and threw the snake into the net.
Ziyu brought the water over, and Gu Qingwan washed her hands while asking unhurriedly, "Say, what did they let you do?" ”
Chunlan seemed to have died once, lying on the ground with a dead face, and said weakly, "The second lady asked me to report everything the eldest lady did one by one every day, and asked me to take a close-fitting ornament from the eldest lady." ”
Really!
These days seem to be peaceful, but in fact they are secretly plotting.
"What do they want from me?" Gu Qingwan asked.
"Say, I said that I was going to transfer it to the second lady, but, but what it was about, the slave didn't know." Chunlan looked at the snake and scared half her life away.
Gu Qingwan glanced at Zilan, and Zilan began to tie Chunlan's trouser legs, and said, "Eldest Lady has to listen to the truth, it seems that if you don't let this snake bite you a few more times, you won't tell the truth." ”
"No, no, no, I really don't know anything, spare my life, Miss......
Gu Qingwan raised her hand, and Zilan loosened her grip on Chunlan, after all, Chunlan was just the eyeliner they planted in Chenyue Garden, and they served her every day, they would not let such a slave know the details.
Gu Qingwan's eyes flickered slightly, and said, "Ziyu, go and bring my handkerchief, the one with my name embroidered." ”
"Yes." Zilan turned around and took out a handkerchief from Gu Qingwan's bed and handed it to Chunlan.
"Listen to the second lady's instructions and give her my veil." Gu Qingwan said.
"Miss......" Zilan and Ziyu looked at her in surprise, what does this mean by Miss?
Chunlan was so frightened that she kowtowed again and again, and said, "Miss, the slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare, the eldest lady spares the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid will never dare again, and the slave and the maid promise to be loyal to the eldest lady in the future." ”
But Gu Qingwan said, "Do as I say, give this handkerchief to the second lady, go and report to the second lady, don't mention a word about what happened tonight, otherwise I will definitely investigate this matter of breaking the jade." If you dare to disagree with me, this serpent is ready for you. ”
"Yes, yes, the slave will do it." Chunlan was already frightened and incoherent, and hurriedly ran out with a handkerchief to make a mistake.
Zilan asked worriedly, "Miss, is this Chunlan reliable?" Will she go to complain to the second lady? ”
Gu Qingwan said, "Don't worry, at least not now." ”
"However, we don't know what the second lady wants the eldest lady's veil for? They are in the dark, we are in the light, how can we guard against them? Ziyu said worriedly.
Gu Qingwan's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she thought about it, and said, "Now let's take one step at a time, I have everything planned." I'm tired, go and rest for a while. ”
Here, not long after Gu Qingwan entered the room and lay down, Gu Qingzhao came, when he came in, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles like a thousand suns, as soon as he walked into the room, he made people feel bright, he seemed to be the light that broke through the darkness, making people feel brilliant and warm, Zilan stepped forward and said, "Young master, you are here." ”
Gu Qingzhao looked expectant, the ice blue brocade robe made him more pure and flawless, he raised his head and looked at the back of the room, and asked, "What about my sister?" ”
"Back to the young master, the eldest lady is a little tired and has just rested." Ziyu replied, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the young master more.
"Oh." Gu Qingzhao nodded and said, "Then don't wake her up, I'll sit and leave, you go and get busy." ”
"Yes." After Zilan and Ziyu brought him tea and pastries, they retreated.
