Chapter 4: Inch by Foot
I don't know if it was because of excessive blood loss, or because she took the medicine prescribed by the doctor, Gu Jinli slept groggily all night, and didn't wake up until the next day.
Aiyue and Hexiang stayed by the bed all night, and when they saw Gu Jinli open their eyes slightly, they immediately said excitedly: "Miss, you finally woke up!" ”
"Love Yue ......" Gu Jinli opened her mouth and found that her voice was so hoarse and dry.
He Xiang hurriedly got up and poured a cup of tea for Gu Jinli, and carefully helped her sit up, "Miss, you drink some water to moisten your throat first, and the slave will go to the kitchen to cook something for you in a while." ”
Gu Jinli took Hexiang's hand, took a few sips of tea, looked at the two maids' eyes were blue, their faces were tired, and they just wanted to tell them to go down to rest, but they heard a familiar voice that couldn't be more familiar.
"Sister!"
Gu Jinli's eyes darkened, and when she looked at it, the hypocritical and pretentious face of the eldest lady really appeared at the door.
And the woman standing beside the eldest lady, with a slender waist and red lips, is the real prime minister, Gu Jinxiu.
Behind the two, there were three or four little maids holding a stack of gift boxes in their hands.
Gu Jinxiu quickly threw herself into Gu Jinli's arms, crying so much that pear blossoms rained: "Sister...... Woowoo...... My mother and I rushed over as soon as we got the news, and you have no idea how worried we are about you! ”
"Woo...... It's good that you're okay sister......"
Because Gu Jinli took Gu Jinxiu's sin, their identities were completely reversed, and now Gu Jinxiu is no longer Gu Jinxiu, but the second miss of the prime minister.
Gu Jinli's wound was deliberately cracked open by Gu Jinxiu, and the pain made her frown.
Pursing her lips, she said softly: "Gu Jinxiu, there are no others here, don't act." ”
After hearing this, Gu Jinxiu finally stopped her tears and left Gu Jinli with a sneer.
Looking her up and down, Gu Jinxiu bent the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "Tsk, I didn't expect King Ning to let you survive last night, it seems that your life is really big!" ”
Gu Jinli didn't bother to pay attention to Gu Jinxiu, but instead looked at the smiling lady, spread out her palms, and said lightly: "Bring the things." ”
The eldest lady glanced at the maid, and her tone was like a gift: "Ming Tao, take it to the eldest lady." ”
The maid named Ming Tao nodded, then held a brocade box in front of Gu Jinli, opened it and said, "Miss, this is your jade pendant and jade Xiao." ”
In the brocade box, a delicately textured, warm and simple jade pendant lies quietly inside, exuding a faint light with the blue and blue jade flute.
Gu Jinli took the box with trembling hands, hugged it tightly, and her eyes were moist.
"Cut, isn't it just a broken jade pendant? It's not a rare thing......" Gu Jinxiu looked at Gu Jinli's tearful appearance in the corners of her eyes, pursed her lips disdainfully, and wanted to taunt her a few more words, but was interrupted by the eldest lady raising her hand.
The eldest lady coughed lightly, stepped forward and sat on the edge of Gu Jinli's bed, held her hand and said kindly: "Jinxiu, don't worry, your father has already entered the palace, and he will definitely seek justice for you." ”
Gu Jinli withdrew her hand and shook her head with a smile, "Jinxiu doesn't want any justice, as long as my mother gives me the 300,000 taels of silver that she promised Jinxiu." ”
The eldest lady's face stiffened, and she combed the broken hair in Gu Jinli's ear behind her ear, and said with a smile: "Jinxiu, you also know that although your father has been an official in the court for many years, he has always been honest and honest, and the usual expenses in our house are also ......."
"It is said that my mother's dowry back then was all priceless things, and if she sold them, she could buy most of the shops in the capital." Gu Jinli moved, leaned lightly on the soft pillow that Aiyue cushioned behind her, and stared at the eldest lady with a faint gaze, "Don't say that this is only 300,000 taels, which is 500,000 taels, and it is a drop in the bucket for my mother." ”
"If the mother is reluctant, then ......" paused, she looked at Gu Jinxiu, and said coldly: "The debt owed to Yin Suwan can only be repaid by the second sister!" ”
"Little slut, you don't want to get an inch!" Gu Jinxiu's body trembled, and she pointed at the tip of Gu Jinli's nose and scolded.
In front of everyone, Gu Jinxiu has always been knowledgeable, gentle and lovely, but only Gu Jinli knows what kind of ugly face she hides under that beautiful mask.
"Shhh", Gu Jinli gently removed Gu Jinxiu's hand, glanced out the door, and said unhurriedly: "If you don't want your mother's intentions to be in vain, you can make a louder voice, so that Qi Hao can know who hurt Yin Suwan!" ”
When Gu Jinxiu heard this, her heart rose to her throat, and she subconsciously glanced at the door, and when she saw that no one was relieved, she immediately said angrily: "Now everyone in the world knows that you are Gu Jinxiu, don't try to get out!" ”
Gu Jinli didn't speak, just smiled lightly and looked at the eldest lady with an ugly face.
