Chapter 237: Not Pushing Hard

After the eldest lady and Mo Zhiyan had eaten, they just walked into the courtyard and met Gu Nianshi.

According to the past, whenever I saw the eldest lady when I thought about it, I would take the initiative to salute from afar.

But today, the eldest lady and Mo Zhiyan, who Gu Nian saw clearly, turned her face and turned her head, pretending not to see it.

Seeing this, the eldest lady frowned, and scolded coldly: "Reading the time! ”

Gu Nianshi's footsteps paused, and as if he hadn't heard, he continued to walk towards the third aunt's yard.

His rude behavior made the eldest lady unhappy.

If only there was no one else around, but Mo Zhiyan was in front of her.

The eldest lady is not only the hostess of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also Mo Zhiyan's mother-in-law.

Mo Zhiyan just got married, although the eldest lady was more satisfied with how she treated people and things.

However, the eldest lady must maintain her majesty as a housewife no matter what.

Especially in front of these juniors, otherwise their wings will be stiff in the future, and they will not have to kick their noses and faces one by one?

"Stop!" The eldest lady took three steps and two steps, with a calm old face, and went towards Gu Nianshi angrily.

Gu Nianshi couldn't avoid it anymore, so he could only lower his eyes, didn't look at the eldest lady, and didn't say a word.

"Why don't you salute when you see your mother? Still pretending you can't hear? The eldest lady snorted coldly and said sharply: "Do you read all the books you read on weekdays?" ”

I have to say that the eldest lady's words are very detrimental to her image of an elegant and dignified lady in the capital.

However, this also shows that she is really angry at this time.

"I've never heard of a dog reading when I was reading, and it seems that my mother is really well-informed." Because the eldest lady secretly poisoned the third aunt, Gu Nianshi has been holding her breath these days.

If it weren't for the third aunt who persuaded Gu Nian from time to time not to be rash, otherwise he would have been unable to sit still according to his temperament.

Although Gu Nianshi has a gentle temperament, once an honest person goes crazy, he will also be crazy.

In the past, he spent most of his time reciting poems, and people actually spent more time in the poetry club than at home.

Therefore, in Gu Huai's eyes, he is just a person with no great potential.

And Gu Chengen is the son-in-law, not only deeply valued by Gu Huai, but also appreciated by the old emperor.

But Gu Chengen has no lofty ambitions, he doesn't like officialdom, he just wants to live a dull life.

He rarely pays attention to the intrigues in the backyard.

It's just that this time the eldest lady poked his life.

In his life, the third aunt and Gu Jinyao occupy a very important position.

However, Gu Jinyao died in an accident.

Now, the only person who lives with him is the third aunt.

The eldest lady made a move on the third aunt, which made it difficult for him to greet the eldest lady with a smile.

Of course, over the years, his respect for the eldest lady has come from the heart.

On the one hand, the eldest lady will act on the spot, although the methods behind the scenes are vicious, but on the surface, everything is thoughtful, so that people can't make mistakes.

On the other hand, although the third aunt is all clever, she also knows that she can't pull Gu Nianshi into the struggle in the backyard.

After all, he is simple-minded and doesn't like these conspiracies and calculations.

In matters between women, it is good for her and Gu Jinyao to participate.

Moreover, Gu Nian is a man, and he should put all his energy on making meritorious contributions.

For this reason, the third aunt wanted Gu Nianshi to gain fame.

However, Gu Nian had no intention of entering the court, and after a long time, the third aunt was too lazy to nag.

However, after Gu Jinyao's death, when the eldest lady proposed to let Gu Huai find a job for Gu Nian in the court, she was still moved.

However, she didn't expect that the eldest lady not only lied to her, but also poisoned her.

The third aunt doesn't dare to act rashly now, because the eldest lady has already moved to kill, and for the time being, she and Gu Nianshi's mother and son are critical to save their lives.

It's just that Gu Nianshi is a person who can't hide his emotions in the end, and his joys, angers, sorrows and joys are very easy to show on his face.

His confrontation with the eldest lady is also the most deviant thing he has done over the years.

"Bastard!" When the eldest lady heard this, she was really even more angry.

She raised her hand and slammed it on Gu Nianshi's face, and two cold lights danced in her old eyes.

"Mother......" Mo Zhiyan was angry when she saw the eldest lady for the first time, and she was so frightened that she covered her mouth with a look of disbelief.

Gu Nianshi's face instantly left five finger prints of the eldest lady, as well as a blood mark that was forcefully scratched by her thin nails.

Strongly suppressed the shock, Mo Zhiyan whispered: "Mother, don't be angry, second brother ...... He...... He shouldn't have the intention of annoying you. ”

Although everyone lives under the same roof, because Gu Nian is a concubine, he generally does not eat in the main courtyard except for family banquets.

Therefore, apart from one or two encounters, there is not much communication between them.

However, as the eldest sister-in-law, seeing that her brother-in-law was going to be beaten, it seemed a little inappropriate if she didn't reconcile it.

Moreover, how to say that they are all a family, isn't it good to be amiable? Why the tension?

Gu Nianshi was slapped in the face, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the eldest lady's eyes cold.

He sneered, but he was not afraid of death and said: "Mother's slap is not hard enough, if you don't get angry, you can beat it again!" ”

Since it was in the courtyard, there were a lot of people coming and going.

Everyone looked around quietly, occasionally pointing and talking a few words secretly.

Maybe it's the slight provocation in Gu Nianshi's sneer, the eldest lady never thought that when she followed the rules and kept to herself, today she would dare to disobey herself in public as if she had fallen into an evil spirit, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Son, kneel!" ”

Gu Nian did not kneel, but still stood straight.

"Someone is coming, the second son is guilty of committing a crime, he has no respect for his elders, and the family law is serving!" The eldest lady squinted her eyes and saw the housekeeper standing in front of the people watching the excitement, so she waved her hand.

The butler listened, hesitated and did not step forward.

Seeing that the housekeeper was stunned, the eldest lady was even more angry, and said to the housekeeper: "Why, one by one, can't move?" ”

When the butler glanced at his neck and looked fearless, he had no choice but to answer: "Yes, madam." ”

"Mother, aren't we going to the Guogong Mansion again? If you don't go, it's going to be late. Mo Zhiyan saw that the eldest lady was serious, and couldn't help but turn her head to Gu Nian and said, "Second brother, you quickly admit your mistake to your mother." ”

"I'm not wrong, why should I admit it?" Gu Nianshi's face was half swollen, and when he saw that the housekeeper had come back with an iron whip, he even exuded an aura of looking at death as if he were at home.

At this point, Gu Nianshi had a great sense of disappreciation, and if Mo Zhiyan spoke for him again, she would inevitably make the eldest lady dissatisfied with her.

She closed her mouth knowingly and took a step back without a trace, which was an indirect statement of her position.

"Torture!" The eldest lady gave the butler a look and said coldly.

The whip in the butler's hand is not an ordinary whip, but one that Gu Huai asked Gu Chengen to bring back from the Criminal Department a few years ago to deter his subordinates.

However, it seems that it was only used once or twice.

But today, it has to be used on Gu Nianshi, which can't help but make people a little scared.

Gu Nian is approachable and has a good reputation in the house.

The housekeeper saluted him and whispered, "Second son, I'm sorry." ”

With that, he swallowed and raised his whip.

Although the force of his fall was not great, the iron thorns on the whip still punctured Gu Nianshi's clothes.

Seeing the butler's mercy, the eldest lady's face became even more difficult to see: "What, you haven't eaten?" ”

Under the sharp eyes of the eldest lady, the housekeeper was too weak to look at Gu Nian, so he had to obey the order.

I only used two percent more strength in my hand than just now, and with two whips down, Gu Nianshi's body finally saw red.

He snorted in pain, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and still looked at the eldest lady with unconvinced eyes.

"Reading the time!" At this time, the third aunt who got the news ran out of her yard.

When she saw the housekeeper whipping Gu Nian, she hurriedly ran over, and while trying to snatch his whip, her eyes were red, and she asked angrily: "You are presumptuous, you dare to do something to the second son!" ”

On the way here, the maid had already explained the reason why Gu Nian was beaten.

However, the third aunt didn't dare to vent her anger on the eldest lady, so she could only spill it on the housekeeper.

When the housekeeper saw the third aunt snatching the whip, he let go of the boat and looked at the eldest lady with a pretended embarrassment: "Madame......"

"Hmph, I'll give the butler the guts!" When the eldest lady saw that the third aunt had taken away the whip, she said to the housekeeper, "Go, get the whip back!" Keep fighting! ”

"Big lady, what did you do wrong? You're going to hit him like that! Seeing that Gu Nianshi's clothes were stained with blood in many places, and there was a five-fingered slap mark on her face, the third aunt was very distressed, and her tone of voice to the eldest lady was not good: "Nianshi is not your own child, but you have also called your mother for so many years, how can you be so ruthless!" ”

"Mother, I'm fine." Gu Nianshi caught a glimpse of the third aunt coming barefoot, and her face was indifferent just now, and she immediately worried: "It's you, your body is not well, the ground is so cold, how can you throw it barefoot?" Go back and rest. ”

"Reading the time...... Woo woo...... "After hearing Gu Nian's such intimate words, the third aunt couldn't stop crying.

Holding Gu Nianshi's hand, she choked up and said, "Go, go back with your mother, and your mother will give you medicine." ”

Before Gu Nian could follow the third aunt to leave, the eldest lady shouted: "Butler, without my order, you are not allowed to stop, continue to fight!" ”

"The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, I don't put my mother in my eyes at all today, if I don't teach him a good lesson on behalf of the master, won't all the people in this house learn the same in the future?"

"Who dare!" When the third aunt heard this, she immediately stretched out her hand to protect Gu Nianshi like a hen protecting her chicks, and glared at the housekeeper fiercely.

The butler being caught in the middle is actually the most embarrassing, and he is very nerve-wracking.

In his selfish heart, he didn't want to torture Gu Nianshi.

But the eldest lady is aggressive here, if he doesn't do it, he may be the unlucky.

"Third aunt, you better give me back the whip, don't make Madame angry again." The housekeeper also meant to say this, but in the ears of the third aunt, he was speaking for the eldest lady.

"Get out!" The third aunt was so anxious that she slapped the housekeeper out of control.

"Ouch!" The housekeeper was also not young, so he couldn't dodge it, and he was hit on the arm.

He clutched his arms and shrunk to the side in fright.

It hurts, but at least you don't have to be in a dilemma.

It's just that the third aunt's move is like adding fuel to the fire.

"It's the other way around, it's going to be the other way around!" Seeing this, the eldest lady was furious.

"Come on, take down the third aunt and this son-in-law!" In a fit of rage, she said to the person who was stunned.

The people in the house are still more afraid of the eldest lady, and they are all things that worship high and low, and they are all bent to welcome.

Besides, the third aunt is just a concubine, how could they offend the eldest lady for the sake of Gu Nianshi?

As soon as the eldest lady gave an order, four or five subordinates rushed towards the third aunt and Gu Nianshi.

"Don't look away, go away!" The third aunt was hysterical while brandishing an iron whip.

She was sick and had no time to dress up, so her loose hair was now loose with her frantic movements.

The way the cloak is spreading, it really looks like crazy.

"The third aunt is crazy, hurry, hold her!" The eldest lady rolled her eyes, suddenly pointed at the third aunt, and said loudly.

Since the relationship between the mother and son is so deep, as long as one of them is grasped, the other will not be a problem.

There were many people, although the third aunt said that she had a whip in her hand, she was still pressed to the ground after a while, and Gu Nianshi was also kicked on the leg bone by a subordinate and knelt down.

"Butler!" Seeing that the third aunt and Gu Nian couldn't struggle, the evil anger in the eldest lady's heart faded a little.

She raised her chin and motioned for the butler to bring the whip over, and then took it upon Gu Nianshi with her own hands.

"Reading the time!" The third aunt's face was pressed hard to the ground, and tears mixed with dirt stained her face.

As the eldest lady dropped more and more whips, the blood on Gu Nianshi's clothes began to spread.

"Reading the time!" The third aunt cried hoarsely, and tried all her strength to break free from the claws of her subordinates, but in vain.

Gu Nianshi knelt at the feet of the eldest lady, but his eyes fell on the third aunt.

He gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice: "Mother, don't cry, my son doesn't hurt!" ”

These words were comforting the third aunt, but they made the eldest lady's hands stronger.

"When I read it......" The third aunt cried into tears, which made Mo Zhiyan feel sad for a while.

Mo Zhiyan held the handkerchief and looked away in a complicated mood.

She didn't know why Gu Nianshi was rude to the eldest lady today, she only felt that it was really unwise for him to contradict the eldest lady in public.

Of course, the eldest lady didn't think about poisoning herself when she was Gu Nian and the third aunt found out.

After all, over the years, she had never missed someone to kill.

After receiving nearly a dozen whips, Gu Nianshi finally couldn't hold on.

His body swayed, and his vision blurred.

"Bang!" and pour it backwards.

And the eldest lady beat her wrists sorely, she fainted when she saw Gu Nian, and finally found a sense of accomplishment.

Satisfied, she threw away the whip, she glanced at the people present who were already frightened and didn't dare to breathe, and said quietly: "Today, whether it is the son, the young lady, or the maid in the house, if anyone dares to ignore the height of the sky and break the rules of the prime minister's house, Mrs. Ben will not be soft!" ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly lowered their heads and said in unison, "Yes, madam." ”

Raised her feet and walked in front of the third aunt, and then the eldest lady said condescendingly: "The third aunt is insane, she actually wanted to commit violence to Mrs. Ben just now, as if she was crazy, from today onwards, she is not allowed to step out of the yard again!" ”

"Housekeeper, take the third aunt and the second son back, and find a few people to guard them strictly!"

At this time, the third aunt was already crying so much that she couldn't make a sound.

She was like a dead fish that had turned its belly over, lifeless.

"Yes." The housekeeper sighed and led his subordinates to take the third aunt and Gu Nianshi back respectively.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one can fight against the eldest lady.

The third aunt is not crazy, and now she is already a crazy person.

And Gu Nianshi, with such a "crazy girl" who is difficult to protect, his future life will not be much better.

The people seemed to have met Gu Nianshi's future, and everyone looked at each other, and most of them had the same look in their eyes.

The eldest lady finished her authority, straightened her clothes, and said to Mo Zhiyan: "Let's go, go to the Guogong Mansion." ”

Mo Zhiyan nodded silently, consciously following the distance of two steps behind the eldest lady.

In the Fuyuan Courtyard, Aiyue remembered Qi Hao's words, and in the past two days, she has followed the cook in the kitchen to cook some meals for Gu Jinli that can make her appetizing.

Coming in with fruit porridge, she stepped forward and said, "Master, you taste it, this is sweet and sour, but it's delicious." ”

Gu Jinli took her eyes off the medical book, glanced at the porridge cup, and asked, "What are these red, red, green and green?" ”

"This green, it seems to be called a kiwifruit, it is said that this fruit was originally born in the country of Yun, but on the border of the country of Qi and the country of Yun, there are also many people who exchange materials with each other, and it has been passed on for a long time."

"However, the water and soil of our country are not suitable for growing kiwifruit, so the yield of this fruit is very small, and not everyone can eat it."

"The prince said that this fruit is nutritious, but it is too sour if eaten raw, so the slave and maid mixed it with rose dew, and added grapes, grapes, figs, and ......."

Seeing Aiyue counting all kinds of fruits with her fingers solemnly, Gu Jinli laughed out loud: "It's really hard for you, remember it so clearly." ”

Aiyue shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "The slave and maid can't help it, after all, the prince said that if the slave and maid don't serve you well, they will drive the slave and the maid out." ”

After that, she pushed the porridge cup in front of Gu Jinli again, "Drink it quickly, otherwise it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

Catching a glimpse of a blister on Aiyue's hand, Gu Jinli's heart was moved, "After a while, you take a bottle of ointment from the cabinet and wipe your hand yourself." ”

Aiyue grinned, "Hehe, it's out of the way." ”

Gu Jinli tasted it and nodded, "It's much better than those big tonic soups and the like." ”

"Drink well, the slave maid makes it for you every day." When Aiyue heard this, her eyes were as bright as little stars.

Fruit porridge is actually not as good as Da Tonic Soup, but it is lighter in taste, and Gu Jinli is not sick to his stomach when he drinks it.

Aiyue didn't dare to tell Gu Jinli, in fact, this fruit porridge seemed to be full of fruits, but in fact, she and Hexiang added tonic soup and diced meat to the porridge.

The taste of the tonic soup was masked by the fragrance of the fruit, and the diced meat was deliberately cut into very small and fine by Aiyue, so it was mixed in the porridge, so it was not discovered by Gu Jinli.

In addition, Aiyue also asked the housekeeper to move all the supplements that are beneficial to the pregnant woman's body in the warehouse to the Fuyuan Temple.

Now, in the entire mansion, except for Qi Hao, Gu Jinli has the highest status.

Not only because she is the woman who Qi Hao holds in the palm of her hand, but also because she is pregnant with the little son of Ning Wangfu.

Therefore, everything in the house is also focused on her.

"That's right, master." Aiyue suddenly remembered the news she heard from the other little maids, and couldn't help but gossip: "Jiang Gongzi is dead." ”

Gu Jinli lowered her head and drank porridge, but she didn't react, and asked casually, "Which Jiang Gongzi?" ”

"Oops, how could you forget? It's that annoying Jiang Yuansheng! Aiyue glanced out of the door and continued to dance with her eyebrows: "Two nights ago, Jiang Yuansheng was killed on the street. ”

Because Gu Jinli was pregnant, Qi Hao didn't want some inconsequential people and things to affect her, so she didn't let the news from the outside reach Fuyuan Courtyard.

However, for things outside, people will secretly talk about it.

Passed around, those who don't know will know.

"Two days ago?" Gu Jinli was stunned, and her eyes moved slightly: "Has the murderer been caught?" ”

"It looks like a woman." Aiyue pursed her lips and said disappreciably: "This case is handled by the eldest prince, what if you catch it?" People are dead anyway. ”

After a pause, she sighed with emotion: "It's a good thing that Jiang Yuan is alive and dead, otherwise if he is alive, I don't know how many women from good families will be infected by him!" The murderer is also for the people, I hope the eldest prince will not embarrass others too much. ”

Gu Jinli pursed her lips when she heard Aiyue mention Gu Chengen, and said lightly: "Okay, things that have nothing to do with us, don't pay attention to them." ”

Jiang Yuansheng's character is extremely poor, and he is indeed innocent.

It's just that when she suddenly heard the news of his death, Gu Jinli was not very happy.

Perhaps, in her heart, she still feels that death is the most cruel punishment for a person.

Seeing that there was still a lot of porridge left in the porridge cup, and most of the diced meat and supplements were sinking underneath, Aiyue quickly stopped the topic and asked, "Master, can you drink some more?" ”

Gu Jinli wiped the corners of her mouth, shook her head and said, "I can't drink it." ”

"Or the slave will accompany you around?" Aiyue thought for a while, clapped her hands, and said, "Didn't you always say that you were going to visit Miss Lin in Youyou Valley before?" It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's do it now! ”

Gu Jinli always said that she would go to see Lin Sheng with Qi Hao, but because of such and such things, she has not been able to do it until now.

Youyou Valley is not something that ordinary people can find, but before Lin Sheng left, he generally told Gu Jinli about the location of Youyou Valley.

Gu Jinli has a good memory and should be able to find it.

Hooking her lips, she glanced at the beautiful sky outside, and said with a smile: "Okay, you ask Hexiang to prepare some of Lin Sheng's favorite pastries and bring them to her." ”

"Xiaohong's injury hasn't healed yet, so I won't take it with me, and I'll take it next time."

"If Lin Sheng sees Xiaohong, he will definitely be happy."

Xiaohongtong is human, Lin Sheng is also interesting, Gu Jinli can imagine the picture of one person and one fox playing together at that time.

This means that Hexiang will stay in the mansion to take care of Xiaohong, and Aiyue can follow Gu Jinli to Youyou Valley.

"Great!" Aiyue nodded excitedly and trotted out of the room.

Qi Hao went to the barracks and didn't come back, and Gu Jinli couldn't send someone to send a letter to disturb him, so he picked up his pen and wrote a note and pressed it on the table.

Qin Feng was the person assigned by Qi Hao to Gu Jinli's side, and she also vaguely knew that Qi Hao had also arranged people to protect her in the dark, so she didn't have to worry too much about her personal safety.

After Aiyue packed up her things, the two of them took a carriage and set off for Yoyo Valley.
