If it was changed to something else, at another time, Gu Weiqing dared to stumble on her, she could have called Xi Yiqian to solve it, but now Xi Yiqian's anger towards her has not subsided, and this matter involves that wild seed, Xi Yiqian will probably not be on her side. So if she wanted to go back to Ange, she could only go out in person and go to Gu Weiqing to solve it in private.

Because of the anger in his heart, Zhong Shunhua didn't close his eyes almost all night. Before dawn, she got up and went to Ningtai, but as soon as she got out of Jindu, she saw a long queue of cars in front of her, stuck there motionless.

Impatiently, she instructed the driver, "Go down and see what's going on." ”

After a while, the driver came back dejectedly, "If you go back to Mrs., there was a car accident in front, and six cars collided in a row, and it is estimated that it will be blocked for half an hour." Why don't you send you back first? ”

Zhong Shunhua waved his hand, "No need, we'll wait here." ”

Half an hour later, the car was finally able to move, but it didn't take long for the driver to brake again, and Zhong Shunhua roared angrily: "What's the matter?!" ”

The driver who walked in front to open the way for Zhong Shunhua came over tremblingly to apologize, "Madame, there is a pile of glass shards in front, we must clean it up immediately, otherwise our tires will be punctured." ”

Zhong Shunhua rarely did not get angry, and lightly ordered them to clean up the debris. Stopping and stopping all the way, Jindu to Ningtai was originally an hour's drive, and Zhong Shunhua took a full morning to arrive.

When he arrived at Ningtai, Zhong Shunhua said to the driver: "You don't have to go to Juxiangyuan, go directly to Gufu." ”

Although the driver didn't understand why Zhong Shunhua changed his mind, he knew that it was better to follow this master and do more with less talk, so he drove the car to the gate of Gu's mansion according to her instructions.

When the gatekeeper saw the Overseer's wife visiting, he hurriedly went in to report the news. Zhong Shunhua didn't wait for him, and broke into the mansion directly, as she expected, Gu Weiqing was unusually well-behaved and accompanied Xi Yiqian for lunch.

When Xi Yiqian saw Zhong Shunhua, she was surprised for a moment, and then asked with a cold face, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhong Shunhua ignored her, stared at Gu Weiqing and said: "A six-in-a-row, three piles of glass shards, Weiqing, my aunt really underestimated you before, it turns out that you are so capable......"

Gu Weiqing blinked his big eyes with an innocent face, "What did you say?" Why can't Wei Qing understand? ”

Zhong Shunhua laughed twice, turned his head and motioned for him to come over and speak, "Then let's talk about something you can understand." ”

Gu Weiqing held his mother's hand tighter, and said with a smirk: "What can you and I say?" There is no mother who can't listen. ”

Zhong Shunhua blushed and wanted to drag Gu Weiqing out, but now Gu Weiqing is no longer a child, how can Zhong Shunhua be able to drag it if he wants to?

Xi Yiqian sensed that something was wrong, and shouted, "Stop!" A man who hasn't been home once in 800 years is back today, and a person who rushes into the house can't even say hello, what the hell is going on with the two of you? Be honest! ”

Zhong Shunhua glanced at Gu Weiqing, and saw him staring at the bluestone on the ground meticulously, and couldn't help but roar: "Why don't you speak?" Isn't it possible to speak well on weekdays? ”

Gu Weiqing smiled lightly, "Since ancient times, it has been the wicked who sue first and bite back. I don't care about it, so naturally I have to give up this right to sue first to the wicked. ”

Zhong Shunhua trembled with anger, pointed at Gu Weiqing and said to Xi Yiqian: "Listen, this is the good son you taught, he is really good at talking!" ”

Xi Yiqian was also very dissatisfied with Gu Weiqing's attitude, and reprimanded: "Is this the attitude of talking to the elders? Don't you apologize to your Aunt Lu?! ”

Gu Weiqing seemed to be very puzzled, "I only said that the one who sued first should be the wicked, and I didn't name him, saying that the wicked person was Aunt Lu." My aunt insisted on putting the hat of the wicked on her head, so why did she want me to apologize? ”

After arguing with his mother, Gu Weiqing didn't seem to be happy, and asked Zhong Shunhua again: "You shouldn't be a thief, right?" ”

"You!" Zhong Shunhua pointed at Gu Weiqing for a long time, but he couldn't say a complete sentence, so he could only brush his sleeves and say, "I won't make this senseless argument with you." I have come to ask for someone today, and if you give me back the person I want, I will leave immediately. ”

Gu Weiqing looked puzzled again, "Someone?" Who do I want, you ask? ”

Zhong Shunhua kept comforting himself, and when he was under the eaves, he had to bow his head, so he said, "An Ge." ”

Gu Weiqing was still pressing step by step, "An Ge? Isn't that the owner of Wazuban? You should go to Helingfang when you are looking for her, why did you come to me to find her? ”

Zhong Shunhua said angrily: "You don't pretend to be stupid, An Ge is here with you!" I don't understand, why do you have to protect that slut?! What's in it for you? ”

Gu Weiqing smiled slightly: "Then I also want to ask you, why do you have to find the owner of a small song and dance workshop?" For this reason, he did not hesitate to condescend to the noble and came to Ningtai in person. ”

Xi Yiqian heard the clue in her son's words, and frowned slightly. Zhong Shunhua was completely driven crazy by Gu Weiqing, and he didn't care if Xi Yiqian would blame himself, so he simply told the truth.

"Yiqian, that day I used Xiang'er to mock Tong Yuqing, it was my fault, I apologized to you, but what happened to Weiqing leaving the slut who harmed Xi'er?"

Xi Yiqian said with a cold face: "Wei Qing, you go down first." ”

Zhong Shunhua shouted: "Why let him go? Ange is still in his hands! Are you trying to shield him? ”

Xi Yiqian's voice was an octave higher, "Your Overseer's wife has been doing it for a long time, and there is no one in her eyes, right?!" I asked Wei Qing to leave because I wanted to save face for you, since you don't appreciate it, then I don't need to keep this skin for you! What did you promise me after Qingchen left? When Zhi'er left Jindu, what did you promise me? Have you ever promised me that you would let my son live? Have you ever promised me that as long as Zhi'er returns to Yaochen Island, you will not hurt him again? Oh, you don't have to do what you say, do you? Then I don't have to let Huai Jue try his best to mediate in front of Lu Tiansheng to save your life and Wu'er's position as the prince?! You dare to swear by Wu'er's life, didn't you plant that dark stake to ask for Zhi'er's life in the end? Are you embarrassed to come to my house and shout for someone?! ”

Zhong Shunhua hesitated for a long time before he found a set of defensible arguments, "Anyway, that slut betrayed me and hurt Xi'er, not for others, for Xi'er, you should let me deal with that slut, right?" ”

Xi Yiqian asked, "What do you want to do?" Make her an adult too? Have you forgotten why Wu'er turned against you? ”

Zhong Shunhua was poked in the sore spot and cried: "You have been loved by your husband and loved by your children all your life, so naturally you can't understand my feelings." What qualifications do you have to stand here and teach me?! You just stand and talk without back pain! ”

Xi Yiqian laughed angrily, "It turns out that you think that everything you get today is caused by others, and you don't have any responsibility for yourself, right?" When Lu Tiansheng approached you, did I remind you that he approached you for your identity as the eldest lady of the Zhong family? When you married Lu Tiansheng, did I remind you that since you married him, you should respect him and defend him? But have you heard half of me? When you're happy, say he's different and extraordinary. When you are unhappy, just say that he is from a humble background, climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, just say it, and say it in front of outsiders. Ordinary men can't stand this, let alone a man who is so arrogant? If you don't use his dignity as a rag, will he walk away in a fit of rage? If he doesn't leave, will he meet Qingchen in Ningtai? You only complain that others treat you unfairly, but how do you treat others? In addition to being reincarnated in a way that doesn't suit your heart, have you ever done anything to be sorry for you? How noble are you when you take all your resentment against his parents out on him? In the past, Huai Jue told me that you were not, and I still argued with him, thinking that no matter how big your mistake is, it will not be as big as Lu Tiansheng's sin, but now it seems that I am really blind. You and Lu Tiansheng are really a perfect match, just as brazen and ungrateful! ”

Zhong Shunhua came to his senses after being scolded, grabbed the corner of Xi Yiqian's clothes, and sobbed and said, "Yiqian, I'm ...... I don't mean to hurt you...... I just want to protect my sons and daughters from harm, you ...... Don't be angry, as long as you're not angry, Ange...... I'll leave it to you, and I will have no complaints no matter what you want......"

Xi Yiqian finally stopped questioning Zhong Shunhua, and said to his son: "Weiqing, you go and bring that dark stake here." ”

Gu Weiqing hesitated a little, "Mother, An Ge already knows that he is wrong......

Xi Yiqian interrupted him and said again, "Bring her here!" ”

Gu Weiqing didn't know what his mother wanted to do with An Ge, but he knew that it would definitely be better for her to fall into the hands of her mother than in the hands of Zhong Shunhua, so she brought An Ge over according to her mother's instructions.

When An Ge saw Zhong Shunhua, she shook subconsciously, but she covered it up well, and then knelt on the ground to salute Zhong Shunhua and Xi Yiqian, "An Ge greets Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu." ”

Xi Yiqian put down the teacup and swept An Ge with her eyes, "Are you guilty?" ”

An Ge knelt on the ground and said, "Looking back on Madame's words, the sinner is convicted of the guilt and is at the disposal of Madame." ”

As soon as Gu Weiqing wanted to speak, he was stared back by his mother's eyes, and Xi Yiqian said lightly: "Okay, come here!" Drag this woman down and give her fifty strokes! ”

Gu Weiqing couldn't care so much, so he rushed forward and said, "Mother, Uncle Liang has already tortured her, and if she is punished with fifty rods, she will be killed!" ”

Xi Yiqian said coldly: "For the sake of her own selfish desires, it is already a big sin to betray her master, not to mention that this master is still her former life-saving benefactor?" Even if I just give her death, it won't be too much! Besides, how do you know that the fifty rods will kill her, not save her? ”

Gu Weiqing was stunned for a moment and muttered, "What do you mean......"

Xi Yiqian looked at Zhong Shunhua and said word by word: "No matter whether she is dead or alive after the cane punishment, her past merits and demerits will be written off, and no one will be held accountable." ”

Zhong Shunhua didn't say anything, and Gu Weiqing felt that his mother's decision might not be a bad thing, so he stood aside and watched the punishment quietly.

The thick and wide bamboo board fell on An Ge's body, and after a few strokes, she had already opened her skin and flesh, and after fifty boards, she fainted and was dying. Gu Weiqing was very happy to see that she still had a breath of air, and hurriedly hugged her to find a doctor.

After they left, Xi Yiqian said to Zhong Shunhua: "No more and more and no more." This is the last time I believe in your promise to me, and if you let me find out that you lied to me, I will never treat you as a friend again. The life and death of you and your son have nothing to do with me anymore. I'm tired today, and I can't send it if I walk slowly. ”

Xi Yiqian went back to her room and took a nap, and as if she heard the sound of rustling in her sleep, she struggled to open her eyes. Gu Huaijue saw her sleepy-eyed appearance, and her unsmiling face slowly softened.

Xi Yiqian smiled lazily, "Why are you back?" ”

Gu Huaijue's smile spread, "Come back and see if my big housekeeper is tired." ”

Xi Yiqian wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his broad shoulder, "On weekdays, Yiling helps me take care of everything in the house, and you and Hong'er guard outside, I'm really used to being idle, and it's so tiring to deal with a Zhong Shunhua." ”

Gu Huaijue smiled and didn't speak, Xi Yiqian felt strange, "At this time before, you would say a lot of bad things about her, why didn't you say it today?" ”

Gu Huaijue patted her on the back lightly and said, "No matter how much I say, it is no more convincing than your own experience of her unreasonableness." If you have already learned her madness for yourself, why should I bother to say anything? ”

Xi Yiqian sighed, "For decades, we have been trying our best to mediate among them, sometimes thinking about their faces, I am really disheartened, if it weren't for the three innocent children of Wu'er, Zhi'er, and Xi'er, I really want to leave it alone." ”

Gu Huaijue also sighed, "No matter what, we can't let go of the love of classmates back then." At that time, the four of us were so good friends. ”

Xi Yiqian recalled that good time and sighed: "Yes...... At that time, Lu Tiansheng and we were both orphans, and we could afford to go to school only with the support of Mr. Zhong. The eldest lady of the Zhong family had a whim for some reason, and wanted to come to our humble school to see how the children of poor families lived. This whim stayed with us for three months. Later, I found out where she thought, she was clearly forced by her father to experience the hardships of the people's livelihood. There are more than 100 people in the class, and she only values the three of us, of course, the one who favors her the most is Lu Tiansheng. Strange to say, I was the worst girl in the class to her, but she was the best to me. ”

Gu Huaijue said with a smile: "If you have the intention to plant flowers but not bloom, you have no intention of planting willows and willows." Others are desperately trying to please her and want to ascend to the sky in one step, but she is used to seeing such a face and thinks you are very special. ”

Xi Yiqian chuckled, "Actually, I just want to save money to please her to support my sister, if it weren't for Yiling, maybe I would have bought her those gifts." Maybe I was too stupid at that time to think of hugging her Buddha's feet and saving me from the sea of suffering. ”

Gu Huaijue hugged her tightly, "So it makes sense to say that fools have foolish blessings." ”

Xi Yiqian pushed him away, "Who do you say is stupid?" ”

Gu Huaijue hugged her with a smile and coaxed: "I'm stupid, I'm stupid, I'm stupid to be blessed to marry such a reasonable and virtuous helper as you." ”

Xi Yiqian slapped him with a smile on her face, "By the way, why did you come back so early today?" Isn't the government office busy? ”

Gu Huaijue hugged her and replied, "Didn't I hear that a crazy man who didn't know what to do came to the house to make a fuss?" I'll take the time to come back and see you. I left all the affairs of the government office to Hong'er to deal with. Hong'er has really made great progress in the past few years, many things are more thoughtful than I thought, and in another three or five years, I will completely hand over the official office to him, and then I can take you to travel all over the world and live a few days of leisure. ”

Xi Yiqian said: "When it comes to Hong'er, I really should be grateful to Yiling. If she hadn't given birth to such a capable son for you, Qing'er and Hui'er, which one could help you support such a big family business? ”

Gu Huaijue's face was displeased, "How can you say that?" Although Qing'er is embarrassed and useful, but Wei'er is not, as long as he beats more, he can't be alone. ”

Xi Yiqian rubbed her temples and said, "My son knows in my heart that no matter how you beat, Wei'er's temperament is too gentle and not suitable to be the head of the family." Now this is just right, Hong'er is the main attacker, Wei'er is the main defender, one is going against the current, the other is going downstream, the two brothers are in harmony, enough to ensure the safety of my Gu family for a hundred years. As for Qing'er, he is a person who is about to stand up, and he has been wandering outside for many years, and he will not be stupid enough to starve to death, as long as it is not too excessive, it is not impossible to let him do whatever he wants outside. ”

Gu Huaijue held her hand and said in a low voice: "What Madame wants and what she wants to be her husband coincides with, is this considered a heart-wrenching heart?" ”

Xi Yiqian shook off his hand and said angrily: "How old are you?" Still like a child. ”

Gu Huaijue lay on her lap, "Aren't I just a child with you?" Have you forgotten that you said you were going to raise me as a child? ”

Xi Yiqian remembered her childhood joke and laughed, "I don't remember." I only remember that today is the ninth day of the new year, and according to the agreement, you should go to Yiling. ”

Gu Huaijue's smile disappeared instantly, and he was silent for a long time before saying, "Qian'er, I'm sorry." ”

Xi Yiqian hit him again, "How many times have I told you?" Don't say sorry to me for this anymore. If you want to say it, I will say it to you. I want you to save my sister, and I want you to feel sorry for me. But where is the use between us to say sorry? ”

Gu Huaijue's heart was very warm, and he sighed: "Compared with Tiansheng, I am really much lucky. ”

Xi Yiqian is also full of tenderness, "Compared with Shunhua, how can I not be lucky enough to live three lives?" ”

The afternoon sun shone on them, enveloping them in eternal warmth, diluting the years and singing about love......

The battle of Dongjing ended with Yang Hao's defeat of King Duluo. During the celebration banquet of the Overseer's Mansion, Tong Yuqing was hesitating to find an opportunity to ask Yang Hao Yao Yao's whereabouts, so he ran into him head-on and simply asked him.

Yang Hao was very confused at first why Tong Yuqing cared about Yao Yao, but later remembered that Yao Yao was Tong Yuqing's personal maid, so he replied frankly: "Zheng Feng was sent by King Duluo to fight in the front, in fact, he wanted him to be cannon fodder. The soldiers and horses of the original tiger pass were already left because of the war of the past year, and this time they were swept away at all. Zheng Feng died under my gun, and I was not responsible for the task of counting the families of the enemy soldiers, so I don't know if Yao Yao is dead or alive. Second young grandmother, do you need me to help you check? ”

Tong Yuqing was sad in her heart, and shook her head lightly, "No need, you can go and get busy." They can't find you, and they're in a hurry. ”

Yang Hao smiled: "I just came out to breathe, otherwise I would have been entangled by those guys, I didn't die in battle, but I would have been drugged to death by them." ”

Tong Yuqing said: "By the way, when you come back this time, you will not only gain fame and fortune, but you can also hold a beauty." Ziting and I are really happy for you and Ye'er, congratulations in advance. ”

Yang Hao bowed slightly, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank the second young grandmother for interceding for me in front of the Overseers, if it weren't for you and the Second Young Master, the eldest lady and the aunt, I wouldn't have known where the Overseers were buried, how could there be a good time today?" ”

Tong Yuqing helped him up and said, "Then you also want you to win the battle on the front line, besides, the words are all said by Qiao Xuan and Xi'er, if you want to thank them, you should also thank them." Ziting and I didn't say anything in front of my father, so I couldn't help you. ”

Yang Hao said: "The eldest lady and my aunt, I will naturally go to thank you." But you and the second young master, I must also thank you. Today is too hurried, it is inconvenient to give you a thank you gift, another day, I will bring Ye'er to the door to thank you. ”

Tong Yuqing couldn't resist his enthusiasm, so she could only say: "It's good that you and Ye'er can come, and there is no need for thanks." ”

The two walked back, chatting about some official matters, not wanting to bump into Bai Qiaoxuan, Tong Yuqing heard him say that he was here to find Yang Hao, so he guessed that he was also here to find out Yao Yao's whereabouts, so he let the two of them talk, and he went back to the table first.

After Yang Hao came back, he heard some rumors about Bai Qiaoxuan and Tong Yuqing, and he didn't believe it very much, because with his understanding of Lu Tiansheng, it was impossible for him to watch his most beloved son suffer such a big grievance and sit idly by, but seeing Tong Yuqing's way of avoiding suspicion, he was a little suspicious in his heart.

Bai Qiaoxuan looked at his expression and guessed what he was thinking, but he didn't want to explain anything to him, so he asked Yao Yao directly.

Yang Hao said what Fang had just said to Tong Yuqing, but Bai Qiaoxuan's answer was different, he hoped that Yang Hao could help him find out Yao Yao's whereabouts.

Yang Hao readily agreed, and a day later Yang Hao told Bai Qiaoxuan that before the war, Zheng Feng sent Yao Yao out of Huju Pass, and Yao Yao escaped into the empty door after hearing the news of Zheng Feng's death.

Bai Qiaoxuan sighed after hearing this, "This may be the best ending for her......

After Yang Hao left, Bai Qiaoxuan was about to go upstairs to the room, and as soon as he walked around the corner, he felt that someone was there......
