Shen Bai's face was tense, and the momentum around him was frighteningly cold.

Lujian and Chabai had never seen her like this, so they were so frightened that they stopped what they were doing, and looked at Li Shan suspiciously, isn't this person the young master's little servant? What are you doing secretly using the young master's prescription behind your back?

Shen Bai's chest was surging with anger, knowing that Li Shan couldn't speak, he drank two cups of tea and rinsed his mouth, but his mouth was still bitter, so he asked Lujian to take candied fruit to relieve his taste, and rewrote it for Chabai to grab the medicine to boil.

Both of them left, and Shen Bai looked at Li Shan with a cold face: "It was the master behind you who asked you to do this, is he afraid that I will expose my identity?" ”

Li Shan lowered his head, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, Shen Bai turned around in place twice with his hands behind his back, and he was still very angry after thinking about it, and couldn't help but kick Li Shan hard.

Li Shan didn't hide, she kicked him to the ground, and he didn't resist, he immediately got up and knelt in front of Shen Bai, like a dog that wouldn't bite.

Shen Bai became more and more irritable, and a deep sense of powerlessness rose in his chest.

What's the use of her hitting him? He is just doing what he is told, and the real abomination is the master behind him!

Shen Bai's fists were loose and tight, and he squatted down in front of Li Shan for a long time, and asked with burning eyes, "Why do you want to do things for him?" Is there something you want from him or is you fed a deadly poison that needs to be taken from him on a regular basis? ”

Since that person can send Li Shan to Taifu's mansion, even if Shen Bai kills Li Shan, that person can still send other people.

As long as there are people around, there will always be hidden dangers, and it is not enough to just distance yourself, you must completely remove this eyeliner.

Li Shan raised his head and looked at Shen Bai in surprise, as if he didn't expect Shen Bai to say such a thing.

Shen Bai knelt down on one knee and said word by word: "I'm different from the people behind you, I don't want your life, and I won't restrict your freedom, if you want something, you might as well say it generously, if I can help you achieve it, why don't you consider serving me?" ”

Shen Bai's tone was very calm, and after kneeling, he was slightly shorter than Li Shan.

Li Shan's eyes flashed, obviously touched by Shen Bai's words.

Shen Bai was not in a hurry to ask for an answer, and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "You can think about this matter slowly, I won't drink this bowl of medicine, and it doesn't matter if you tell the master behind it, this doesn't prevent me from proposing just now." ”

Shen Bai stood up after speaking, saw that Li Shan was still kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "Get up, it's cold on the ground." ”

Li Shan retreated, Lujian quickly took the candied fruit back, Shen Bai just ate one, and Shen Ruxiu walked in with a calm face.

Shen Bai spit out the nucleus and let Lu Jian go out first, the door was closed, Shen Ruxiu just wanted to get angry, Shen Bai said softly: "Dad, that little guy named Li Shan moved my prescription, he was sent into my house by you, I want to ask if you know about this?" ”

Shen Ruxiu swallowed the anger on the side of his mouth, and looked at Shen Bai suspiciously: "He poisoned you?" ”

That's not what I know?

Shen Bai had a measure in his heart, stuffed another candied fruit into his mouth, and said vaguely: "It can be regarded as poisoning, but it won't be fatal, I just want me to cut off the sunflower water, so as not to accidentally show my feet." ”

The folds of Shen Ru's eyebrows are deeper, Kwai Shui is indeed a very fatal problem, Shen Bai was also cold before, and Kwai Shui hurt a lot when he came, it was okay when he was in Tai Academy, if he entered the office, it would be too easy for people to see the flaws.

Shen Bai kept eating in his mouth, and Yu Guang kept observing the changes in her father's expression, seeing that his father's face was becoming more and more solemn, he said with a smile: "Dad, don't you think it's better for me to cut off Kwai Shui, right?" ”

Shen Ru has become a two-time parent, not a young man who doesn't understand anything, he should know that cutting off Kwai Shui means violating the laws of nature for women, and he will really turn himself into a monster who is neither male nor female.

Although Shen Bai drank this medicine voluntarily in his last life, Shen Ruxiu, who became a father, did not stop it, and if he was seriously calculated, he also indirectly sacrificed Shen Bai for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji.

In this life, Shen Bai wondered if her father would choose to sacrifice her again.

Shen Bai's tone was a little cold, and Shen Ruxiu looked at her steadily: "Why do you think so?" ”

Why?

Shen Bai said coldly: "The stepmother is about to give birth, she gave birth to your own flesh and blood, for the newborn bloodline, for the stability of the country, for the Taifu Mansion so many people, wouldn't my father think so?" ”

She has been pushed on such a road of no return since birth, which is full of thorns and hardships, but no one can help her, not even someone to talk to.

In the previous life, Gu Hengzhou was the only light and warmth for her, and she silently looked up to him and chased him from afar.

Later, the light fell, and she also fell into purgatory.

No one ever expressed love for her, no one was determined to protect her, and although she didn't have much resentment, she still felt sad occasionally.

If you really don't like her, why let her be born?

Shen Ruxiu choked up at her question, and his heart seemed to have been beaten with a heavy hammer.

The newborn baby is indeed innocent, the stability of the country is indeed important, and the dozens of lives up and down the Taifu Mansion should indeed not be implicated, but this fourteen-year-old child also has the same blood as him, and it is he who has watched her go from toddler to being able to go everywhere to uncover the tiles.

He has taught countless students, it can be said that the world is full of peach and plum, he has read the teachings of those sages more than anyone else, and always remember not to bully the lonely and weak to show strength, how can he be ashamed to sacrifice his own children to protect others?

Shen Ruxiu clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "It's not your fault, no matter when, you shouldn't bear the consequences, if something really happens in the future, I will naturally bear it!" ”

Shen Ruxiu's tone was firm, Shen Bai's heart was slightly warm, and he didn't confuse the memories of the previous life with the memories of this life, and quickly suppressed those negative emotions, and said to Shen Ruxiu in a warm voice: "Dad, it's the end of the year soon, and the Sun family is about to give birth, after His Majesty's birthday, you might as well take a few days off to accompany her at home." ”

Shen Bai had never cared about the Sun family, let alone the New Year, and suddenly spoke so loudly and angrily, Shen Ruxiu immediately became vigilant, and asked suspiciously: "What kind of moth do you want to make trouble?" ”

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "It's not that I want to make trouble, it's someone else who wants to make trouble, I'll remind you first, don't jump in anger when there is any wind and grass at that time, and lose the demeanor of the Taifu." ”

Shen Ruxiu: "......"

What's the use of protecting this rebel?

Shen Ruxiu rushed to Shuyun Garden angrily, but he didn't have time to teach Shen Bai a lesson, but he held his breath and came back to his senses after a long time out of Shuyun Garden, but he didn't have the idea of teaching Shen Bai a lesson, and all his thoughts were used to think about what bad things Shen Bai was going to do.

The rain only stopped for a while, and then it began to fall again in the afternoon, and the chill of late autumn came with the wind and rain, giving the whole of Hanshang Kyoto a hint of depression.

The next day, the rain did not decrease but became heavier, Shen Bai estimated that Hanchen would not come out of the palace in the rain to play, and after breakfast, he took a carriage to the Guogong Mansion, but he didn't expect to see another carriage at the gate of the Guogong Mansion.

The carriage was much more elaborate than Shen Bai's, with delicate bronze bells hanging at the four corners of the eaves, and pink tassels, which was very elegant at first glance.

Shen Bai jumped out of the carriage by himself, took the umbrella handed over by Li Shan and opened it.

The groom on the opposite carriage put the footstool, the carriage curtain was lifted, and a little maid wearing a pink coat and pigtails came out first, and after holding the umbrella, the beauty in the carriage slowly came out.

The beauty was wearing a blue embroidered white magnolia short gown, covered with a long skirt of the same color, not yet engaged, with a beautiful hair tied to a fallen horse bun, only a white jade hairpin on her head, and her white and lustrous earlobes were decorated with red and gorgeous coral earrings.

Shen Bai was most pitiful and cherished the jade, and when he saw the horseman standing aside in a daze, he immediately walked over with an umbrella, and said with concern in his mouth: "It's so cold, why did Miss Jiang go out, the girl's family is weak, what if she is infected with the wind and cold?" ”

The incense incident in the paddock was finally explained as a misunderstanding, after all, her father was a captain, and Jiang Qinse was not punished, but after returning home, her personal maid was killed with a cane, and she was also grounded for two months, and she was only released in the last few days.

Jiang Qinse won the title of the first talented woman in Hanjing when she was just in time, and she has always been the image of the unattainable flower of Kaolin, because of this incident, she has become a laughing stock in the family, in just two months, she has lost a lot of weight, and her slender waist looks more and more untidy, as if it will break if she is slightly broken.

The little maid couldn't recognize Shen Bai, seeing that she was well-dressed, and was about to say thank you with a smile, Jiang Qin stared at Shen Bai and said coldly: "Men and women don't kiss, please stay away from me." ”

Jiang Qinse's face was covered with a thin veil, and his expression was not real, but his tone and eyes expressed resistance.

Shen Bai knew why she was awkward, and she didn't care at all, so she cheekily raised the umbrella in her hand to Jiang Qinse's side and persuaded her kindly: "I know that Miss Jiang doesn't want to see me, but you must always take care of your own body, you get off the bus first and stabilize it, and then I'll leave, okay?" ”

It is said that reaching out does not hit smiling people.

Shen Bai's face was about to burst into laughter, and his words were all for Jiang Qinse's sake, Jiang Qinse had always been cold and generous, and it was not easy to shirk again, so he could only hold his breath and get out of the carriage.

The little maid took an umbrella to her, Jiang Qinse took it and opened it, this umbrella is also very beautiful, the umbrella surface is painted with a very meaningful splash of ink landscape painting, the umbrella handle is carved with delicate koi, the umbrella is decorated with two red beans, the tassel is gently shaken, and Jiang Qinse's hands are also slender and beautiful.

In the end, she is the first talented woman, and even her hair is exquisite.

Shen Bai secretly muttered in his heart, without Jiang Qinse's reminder, he obediently took back the umbrella, took three steps back, and said politely: "Miss Jiang take your time, I'll go first." ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he left without hesitation, and the little maid took the gift from the car and got out of the car, and asked Jiang Qinse curiously: "Miss, who is this son?" Why does the young lady look very unkind to see him? ”

Jiang Qinse's eyebrows were cold, and he scolded in a low voice: "Don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked, otherwise you won't know how you died in the future!" ”

The little maid still remembered the sister who was killed by the cane before, so she lowered her head in fright and admitted her mistake vigorously: "Please forgive Miss!" The slave knows the mistake, the slave knows the mistake! ”

Jiang Qinse raised his hand to signal the little maid to stop, and walked into the Guogong Mansion.

Yesterday she went down to pay her a prayer, and the porter led her directly to the gate, but instead of going to the east courtyard, she went to the west courtyard.

Bypassing the zigzag corridor, Jiang Qinse was finally taken to Ye Wanyu and Gu Huaijin's courtyard.

Gu Huaijin went up, and the subordinates brought her in directly, there was already a maid waiting at the door, and when she saw her coming, she immediately pushed the door open, and Ye Wanyu's cheerful voice immediately came: "Cersei is here!" ”

Jiang Qinse took the umbrella and stood at the door, took the gift from the maid and walked in.

The house was surprisingly warm, a fire was lit, the carbon was excellent, there was no smoke at all, it was the snow carbon that Qizhou paid tribute to, and the yield was extremely low, less than two hundred stones a year, except for the royal family, only a few ministers could get a little.

Last year, Jiang De'an got five stones, his father and brother got one point, and Jiang Qinse only got a little, which was only used to entertain passers-by in the coldest time, but he didn't expect Ye Wanyu to use it so early, which shows how generous His Majesty's reward is to the Guogong Mansion every year.

Jiang Qinse's eyes flashed slightly, she took off her veil, a smile appeared on her face, and she said softly: "I'm really sorry to bother Madame again." ”

Ye Wanyu shook her head again and again: "What's not to bother, I don't have anything to do at home all day, it's great to have someone to talk to." ”

Jiang Qinse has a high status, although Ye Wanyu is an elder, she doesn't dare to be slow, she let people prepare fruit tea snacks early, seeing Jiang Qinse carrying a gift in her hand, she subconsciously wanted to take it, and couldn't help but say: "I'm very happy to be able to come, why are you still seeing you like this, what kind of gift do you bring." ”

Jiang Qinse took the things over by Ye Wanyu, and then said: "This is the medicine that the younger generation entrusted someone to catch, I heard that the effect of analgesic and dampness is very good, yesterday His Royal Highness said that the prince of Zhen Guogong has an old disease, and the climate will be painful and unbearable as soon as it is wet and cold, and the younger generation thought that he might be able to use it, so he took the liberty to send it over, and Mrs. Lao boiled it for the Lord Guogong to drink and try, if it is effective, the younger generation will definitely offer the prescription." ”

For the big brother again?

The smile on Ye Wanyu's face faded a little, but she still said eagerly: "I have a heart, I will ask someone to boil a bowl for the eldest brother later, it is raining outside, so let's stay and eat together at noon." ”

"No need, the younger generation has not yet decided on a marriage, and it is already presumptuous to come to the door, and I should never stay for dinner again." Jiang Qin Sewen said with a smile, thought about it and added, "By the way, the younger generation sent the medicine just to thank His Royal Highness the Prince for helping him in the paddock before, and the lady doesn't have to let others know that it was the medicine sent by the younger generation." ”

The eldest lady of the Jiang family is the first talented woman in Hanjing, with her own reserve and pride, if the matter of her personal delivery of medicine is publicized, I am afraid that the entire Hanshangjing people will laugh at her and want to marry Gu Hengzhou.

The people who went to the Jiang family to propose relatives were about to step on the threshold of the Jiang family, and she has always been the only one who picks people, how can she surrender her identity?

Ye Wanyu knew what she was worried about, and nodded again and again: "Okay, I know, I naturally won't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, it's still early,

You don't have to be in such a hurry to leave, just sit down for a while. ”

Ye Wanyu warmly retained, Jiang Qinse didn't want to be too indifferent, sat down reservedly, and didn't take snacks to eat.

Ye Wanyu put things aside and asked the topic she was most concerned about: "I heard that there are two younger sisters in the family, are they talking about marriage now?" ”

Jiang Qinse is the daughter of the Taiwei, and her talent and appearance are the most top-notch, Ye Wanyu knew that her two sons could not climb high, so she set her eyes on her two younger sisters.

Although those two girls are concubines, I heard that their talents are also very good, and the most important thing is that if they marry them, they will have the Taiwei of the head of the three princes as their in-laws, and in the future, they will not have to be said to be living in the second room all the time.

Jiang Qinse's eyes flashed with coldness, she just wanted Ye Wanyu to do her a little favor, but Ye Wanyu wanted to climb a good family business, and the abacus was too good.

Jiang Qinse lowered her eyes and pretended to be shy: "These things are all grandmother and mother looking at each other, how can the younger generation have the right to say anything, Mrs. This sentence stopped the younger generation." ”

Ye Wanyu also knew that she was a little too anxious, although she had the opportunity to attend the banquet with these ladies on weekdays, she couldn't say a few words, and there were many girls who wanted to marry Gu Hengxiu and Gu Hengdu, but none of them she could see, Gu Hengxiu had been sick recently, and Ye Wanyu unconsciously thought of giving him joy.

The words had already been spoken, Ye Wanyu simply didn't hold it, her eyes were red in front of Jiang Qinse, and she sighed and said: "Cersei, I won't hide it from you, Brother Xiu'er has long reached the age of discussing relatives, his character is well-known in Beijing, although he is not as popular as Xingyuan, he is also a talent, anyway, Cerse and we will be a family in the future, if you can help Brother Xiu'er, I will definitely help wherever I can help in the future!" ”

Ye Wanyu said this bluntly, Jiang Qinse frowned, she did think that Gu Hengzhou was a good candidate for a husband, but she didn't have the intention of not marrying him, Ye Wanyu's words made her feel very harsh, she couldn't help but say: "Madame, what are you talking about, I'm just here to repay His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness, and I don't have any other ideas, my sisters are all assertive, I really can't help Madame." ”

After Jiang Qinse finished speaking, he broke free of Ye Wanyu's hand, and said coldly: "The juniors shouldn't have come today, this medicine lady is willing to boil it, whether she wants to burn it or lose it, it has nothing to do with the juniors, there are still things at home, and the juniors will leave first." ”

After Jiang Qinse finished speaking, he didn't stop and strode away.

Ye Wanyu didn't expect her to be so angry, and she also felt that she had been swept away, so she sat in the house with a calm face and didn't chase her out.

After a while, Gu Hengxiu came in from outside the house and asked gently, "Why is my mother's face so ugly, I just saw Miss Jiang leave from the courtyard, but what did she say that made my mother unhappy?" ”

In the past two days, the temperature has dropped sharply, Gu Hengxiu's face has become more and more pale, Ye Wanyu looked very heartbroken, and didn't want him to think about it anymore, so she barely squeezed out a smile: "Miss Jiang has an excellent character, how can it make me unhappy, it's just that my body is a little uncomfortable." ”

Gu Hengxiu walked over to help Ye Wanyu rub her shoulders, and said softly, "Mother is unwell, but is it because the uncle and eldest brother have been in the limelight recently?" ”

Gu Hengxiu's words were a bit too straightforward and harsh, Ye Wanyu's brows furrowed even tighter, although she wanted to find a good future for her two sons, so that she could face the world with her eyebrows raised from the big house, but she also knew that now was not the time to break up with the big house, and Gu Hengxiu, as a man, should be broad-minded, and should not care about the shortcomings of her parents like her.

Thinking of this, Ye Wanyu restrained all her anger, gently patted the back of Gu Hengxiu's hand, and said calmly: "When they are in the limelight, it means that our Guogong Mansion has face, and it is too late for my mother to be happy, where can I be unhappy because of this?" ”

Gu Hengxiu paused slightly, then gently pressed Ye Wanyu's neck socket with his elbow, and said lightly after a while: "But the Guogong Mansion belongs to the uncle and the eldest brother, not ours." ”

Ye Wanyu's eyelids jumped, her back was a little stiff, she turned her head to look at Gu Hengxiu, trying her best to calm down: "Xiu'er, the Guogong Mansion is our home, we and the uncle have always shared honor and disgrace, why did you suddenly say such a thing?" ”

Gu Hengxiu squatted down in front of Ye Wanyu, he was already seventeen, and after squatting, he was not much shorter than Ye Wanyu, he was a young man who had grown up.

His appearance inherited Gu Huaijin, full of bookishness, elegant and introverted, because of illness, his face was a little pale and he looked like white jade.

Every time she saw this face, Ye Wanyu couldn't help but feel two points of pride, this is the child she raised when she was pregnant in October, he just didn't have a good background, otherwise he should also enter the Tai Academy to study, and he should have gained fame at a young age, and he should have become a young girl in Beijing who is vying to marry Ruyu Langjun.

Gu Hengxiu took Ye Wanyu's hand and put it on his face, and said bewilderingly: "Mother, uncle is uncle, we are us, everyone in the capital says that we rely on them like parasites, doesn't my mother want to shut up these people?" ”

Sick, his face was a little cold, and his words were gentle but without a trace of emotion, so cold that he seemed to have completely changed a person.

Ye Wanyu was inexplicably a little scared, and wanted to withdraw her hand but was held tightly by Gu Hengxiu, Gu Hengxiu gently rubbed her palm, and said with attachment like a child: "Mother, you have always loved me the most, I don't want to be left behind by my eldest brother for the rest of my life, although I can't gallop on the battlefield like my eldest brother, but I can gain fame and contribute to His Majesty and Zhaoling's Jiangshan Sheji in the court, can you help me?" ”

Ye Wanyu only gave birth to two sons, Gu Hengxiu and Gu Hengdu, but with Gu Hengzhou, she actually took three sons with her.

Gu Hengzhou has always been calm and responsible, both civil and military, and never let them worry, Gu Hengju, as the boss, naturally receives more care, his temper is the biggest, and he is also the most heartless and the most sloppy among the three.

Gu Hengxiu is in the middle, he can't compare to Gu Hengzhou, and he can't be as carefree as Gu Hengdu, and being caught in the middle has always been the most sensible and Ye Wanyu's consideration.

Ye Wanyu remembered that when Gu Tingge came back ten years ago, His Majesty gave him a dagger full of gems, and after Gu Tingge came back, he gave the dagger to Gu Hengzhou.

Ten years ago, Gu Hengxiu was only seven years old, and he was just a child, he had always regarded Gu Hengzhou as his eldest brother, and it was normal to want to have the same dagger.

Ye Wanyu originally wanted Gu Hengzhou to lend the dagger to Gu Hengxiu to play for two days, but Gu Huaijin was furious, hit Gu Hengxiu a few times, and punished him to go to the ancestral hall to kneel.

That night, Gu Hengxiu had a high fever and smallpox, and almost lost his life, Ye Wanyu stayed in front of the bed every day and watched him wash his face with tears.

Later, Gu Hengxiu finally woke up, and rubbed her palm like now and said, "Mother, I don't want my eldest brother's things anymore." ”

Thinking of the old things, Ye Wanyu's heart was like a knife, and she nodded hurriedly: "Mother naturally loves Xiu'er the most, Mother's Xiu'er is the smartest, no worse than anyone else, no matter what Xiu'er wants to do, Mother will stand with Xiu'er!" ”

After receiving such an answer, Gu Hengxiu's eyes lit up: "Can that mother not tell her father about these things?" ”

Ye Wanyu hesitated, she was a woman in the back house, and she had long been accustomed to discussing all matters in the family with Gu Huaijin, and the words that Gu Hengxiu said today were enough to surprise and frighten her, and if she hid it from Gu Huaijin, she was afraid that something big would happen.

Gu Hengxiu knew what she was worried about, and held her hand and analyzed it seriously: "Dad is too conservative and cautious in this life, so he has only achieved the position of a servant in the ministry until now, I don't want to work hard all my life, and in the end I will be the same as him, and he pays too much attention to family affection, and only thinks about the uncle and eldest brother, and there is no place for me and my younger brother at all." ”

These words poked Ye Wanyu's sore spot, she has been married to Gu Huaijin for many years, Gu Huaijin has not taken concubines, nor has she messed with flowers and grass outside, although she is not considerate enough many times, but she is much better than most men, the only thing that makes her dissatisfied is this, she is too good to the big house, much better than her son.

Ye Wanyu didn't say anything, Gu Hengxiu continued: "Mother, I know that we have been able to live a good life for so many years because of the uncle who is guarding the border pass, I will not harm the lives of the uncle and the eldest brother, I just want a chance to get ahead!" ”

Like falling into an evil spirit, Ye Wanyu's ears kept echoing the words "get ahead".

Yes, her son is outstandingly knowledgeable, and he is originally a dragon and phoenix among people, why should he always be inferior?

He won't hurt anyone, he just wants a chance to get ahead, what's not to do?

This thought became more and more firm in her heart, the hesitation on Ye Wanyu's face gradually dissipated, she held Gu Hengxiu's hand instead, and said word by word: "Xiu'er, you are not wrong!" You are still young, you should give it a go for your future, you can rest assured, your mother will do her best to help you. ”

Gu Hengxiu breathed a sigh of relief, showed a happy smile, and knelt on Ye Wanyu's lap and said, "Thank you, mother." ”

Ye Wanyu talked to Gu Hengxiu for a while, and after a quarter of an hour, Ye Wanyu was a little sleepy, Gu Hengxiu asked her to rest and get up to leave.

Walking out of the room, it was still raining outside, and the maid who was waiting outside the door immediately helped him hold an umbrella and send him out, and when he went out of the courtyard door, the maid asked in a low voice: "Second young master, do you want to continue to add that kind of medicine to Madame's tranquilizer incense these days?" Madame has been very short-tempered these days, and she has quarreled with the master several times. ”

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops fell on the umbrella and made a crackling sound, Gu Hengxiu covered his lips and coughed lightly twice, his face became more and more pale, and the chill came to his face, and he said softly: "The dose can be a little less, but it can't be stopped." ”

The maid didn't agree immediately, her face was embarrassed, Gu Hengxiu turned her head and looked at her with warm eyes: "What, is there any problem?" ”

His eyes were dark and clear, full of soft kindness, and the maid was a little bolder, and said in a slur voice: "Young master, the slave maid heard...... I heard that if this medicine is used too much, it will make people lose their minds and become insane, and Madame has already used it a lot, in case ......"

"You think I'm going to poison my mother?"

Gu Hengxiu asked, his expression was no different from just now, and there was even a melting warmth in his eyes, but his tone was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air into ice slag.

The maid realized that she had said the wrong thing, and subconsciously wanted to kneel, Gu Hengxiu reached out to hold her hand holding the umbrella.

The maid is not very old, she has never had a skin-to-skin relationship with a man, and she is also a second young master with a noble status and a handsome face, her body froze instantly, her face was dyed red, her eyes were running around, and she didn't dare to look at Gu Hengxiu.

The corners of Gu Hengxiu's lips were slightly hooked, and there was a doting look in his eyes: "Silly girl, that's my mother, how could I harm her?" As long as this matter is over, stop taking the medication immediately, and no one will notice anything abnormal. ”

The maid's face burned badly, and she nodded again and again: "What the second young master said is that the slave is too worried." ”

Gu Hengxiu still didn't let go of her, but raised his hand to help her hook a strand of hair from her sideburns behind her ear, and her warm fingertips slid down her ear pinna, and gently pinched her earlobe twice.

Now even her neck is red, and the maid can't help but let out a delicate hum, and her legs are weak.

Gu Hengxiu calmly withdrew his hand, took the umbrella and held it by himself, and said, "I will never forget what you have done, and when the matter is over, I will ask my mother for you and give you the name you deserve." ”

Birthright?

The maid was from a humble background, and when she heard this, she suddenly felt like a cloud, feeling that she was hit by a pie falling from the sky, and she had no worries or worries, and said firmly: "The slave does not seek fame, and is willing to be a cow and a horse for the second young master!" ”

The maid's reaction was expected by Gu Hengxiu, his expression was unwavering, and he said, "You go back, leaving for too long will arouse suspicion." ”

The maid bowed and ran away happily.

Gu Hengxiu walked towards his yard with an umbrella, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the water dripping from the edge of the umbrella splashed up and quickly wet the hem of his clothes, he coughed lightly, and the gentle pampering of Fang Cai turned into frost hidden in his eyes.

Winter is just around the corner, and his plans are almost complete......

Shen Bai was taken by his subordinates to see Gu Tingge again, but this time she didn't want to talk about any government affairs, she took out a needle bag from her pocket, and said to Gu Tingge: "Uncle Gu, the younger generation knows a little about the art of Qihuang, I heard that you have an old disease, and you will be miserable when it comes to rainy weather, can you let the junior treat you with an acupuncture?" ”

There are only two people living in the east courtyard, Gu Tingge and Gu Hengzhou, in addition to a large open space with wooden stakes, there are also many empty rooms, Gu Tingge can't be idle, after getting up in the morning, he first found an empty room and played a set of punches, sweating, just took a shower and changed his clothes at this time, heard Shen Bai say this, and looked her up and down: "You want to stick a needle on me?" ”

Shen Bai nodded.

Gu Tingge asked again: "How many people have you been stabbed before?" ”

Shen Bai raised two fingers.

At that time, Gu Hengzhou was slashed on the shoulder on the battlefield, and his shoulder hurt badly on a rainy day, but when he returned to Beijing, it was too little, and Imperial Doctor Li only gave him two injections.

Shen Bai actually didn't have much chance to see Gu Hengzhou, but he also coerced and enticed Imperial Doctor Li to teach her this set of acupuncture techniques.

There was no patient for her to try her hand, she could only prick herself, and then she finally learned to help Gu Hengzhou pierce him twice before he got married, and then she never had a chance to use it again.

Gu Tingge didn't know what was going on, and his eyebrows raised slightly: "You dare to stick a needle in me after only two people?" ”

Shen Baiman didn't care: "The younger generation is not an outsider, everyone knows the roots, if there is any problem, Uncle Gu can kill the Taifu Mansion immediately, what else is there to be afraid of?" ”

Why aren't you an outsider? The child is quite good at setting almost.

Gu Tingge didn't believe that Shen Bai would have any advanced acupuncture techniques, so he looked away and said, "I don't have any pain on my body. ”

Shen Bai immediately raised his eyebrows: "Uncle Gu, you can doubt my medical skills, but you can't hide from the disease, to put it mildly, your body is related to the Jiangshan Sheji of Zhaoling, to put it mildly, you are in pain, Brother Gu is also uncomfortable, if you don't feel sorry for your body, can you not feel sorry for your son?" ”

Well, the topic is back on the hook.

Gu Tingge still wanted to refuse, but Shen Bai grabbed his hand and coquettishly: "Uncle Gu, just let me try it once, if it doesn't work, I'll chop off this hand on the spot to make amends for you, okay?" ”

Shen Bai opened his mouth to say this kind of thing, Gu Tingge's heart moved slightly, what he hated most in his life was this kind of person who just talked big with his brain.

Wanting to teach Shen Bai a lesson, Gu Tingge rushed to Gu Si, who was waiting outside the door, and said, "Bring me my big knife!" ”

Gu Si responded and left, Shen Bai didn't feel scared at all, he opened the needle bag in a nutshell, took out the one on the edge and said to Gu Tingge: "Uncle Gu, please take off your shirt first." ”

Gu Tingge untied his belt and quickly took off all his shirts, revealing his broad and stiff shoulders and hundreds of scars crisscrossing it, and he could hardly find a good piece of meat.

Shen Bai gasped, Rao was also shocked by such a body after living for two lifetimes.

Gu Tingge asked, "Scared?" ”

Shen Bai pursed his lips without saying a word, and found the acupuncture point on Gu Tingge's shoulder and pricked the first needle.

Gu Hengzhou got up early to deal with a little official business in the study, and after breakfast, he went to find Gu Tingge, and when he walked halfway, he saw Gu Si carrying Gu Tingge's big knife and walked out, frowned suspiciously, and stopped Gu Si and asked, "What's wrong?" How did you get this knife out? ”

Gu Si said: "Early this morning, Young Master Shen came again, took out a needle bag from his arms and said that he wanted to give an injection to Lord Guogong to remove the pain, but Lord Guogong didn't believe it, so he said that if there was no curative effect, she would chop off a hand to make amends to the adult, and the adult asked me to carry the knife over." ”

“……”

Gu Hengzhou's face was expressionless, and he really wanted to beat that little liar immediately.

She learned the way from which charlatan who cheated on the street, and dared to come here to show off?

Gu Hengzhou's face was not good, and Gu Si asked hesitantly, "Is there anything else going on with the prince?" ”

Gu Hengzhou took the big knife from his hand and said in a deep voice: "I'll just bring it to my father, you can do something else." ”

Gu Si took the order to leave, Gu Hengzhou took the big knife to find Gu Tingge, stepped into the house, and saw Shen Bai standing behind his father with a horse step, and his back was already densely covered with silver needles.
