Ever since he saw that sharp sight in the carriage, Gu Nian inevitably had nightmares again, and the pain before death poured into Gu Nian like a tide.

For a few days, Gu Nian was a little embarrassed, Gu Shi'an was very nervous, and wanted to find a doctor for Gu Nian, but he was refused, and Gu Shi'an also ran into trouble.

Before the emperor issued a decree that Gu Shi'an would take over the position of Jinyiwei's commander, Gu Shi'an's name was only the unfavored third son of the Guogong Mansion in the eyes of the world, and he had been working as a petty official outside for many years.

Suddenly, he turned into a confidant of the emperor, and he sat in such an important position, he was busy with the Gu family before, and Gu Shi'an didn't care about the possible reactions outside.

So when Gu Shi'an settled down in the new house and went to the Yamen to take office two days later, he went to hand over to the former commander with the strange eyes of everyone.

After that, there were rumors in the capital that Gu Shi'an was ruthless and unfilial, and his mother was in the hall, and he moved out alone, such a person is really not worthy of being an official, and he is still in charge of Jinyiwei.

There were even several adults in the Ministry of Rites who impeached Gu Shi'an, saying that such a person was not worthy of being an official, because if he could be unfilial at this time, he would be disloyal in the future.

As long as he goes out, Gu Shi'an can face a lot of cold words.

Let's talk about the Gu family's side, Gu Ci originally thought that Gu Nian was talking and playing, after all, the abduction happened by accident, where did anyone deliberately stand up and be trafficked?

I just saw that my family was real, and I couldn't help screaming, "Why? Haven't you already lost money? Why do I have to suffer like that? ”

Where is the good thing about being trafficked? In case she doesn't come, she is really sold as a slave, and even worse, she is sold to Hualou, so how will she live the rest of her life?

But no one paid attention to her except the Yang family!

In order to let Gu Ci taste the bitterness, no one is allowed to protect her, but the Yang family is not at ease, so she secretly let people follow, but Gu Nian is not idle, anyway, she has already asked Xiao Yue to borrow someone, and it is nothing to borrow again, and she sent someone to secretly watch and make trouble on the road, so she can't let Gu Ci have a good time.

Xiao Yue enjoyed Gu Nian's unceremonious behavior very much, he felt that the Gu family would make such a fuss sooner or later, and it was also a reasonable thing, he knew that Gu Nian was powerful, but he had never seen Gu Nian so arrogant.

Although it is the reason for having Gu Shi'an as her backing, she is also in control of the scene on the field, there are many smart people in this world, smart girls, he has also seen them, but like Gu Nian, she is the only one.

He even gave birth to a hearty feeling, he seemed to live casually, but he saw too much of the battles in the palace and his mother's affectionate face.

Although he looks like he is living a wanton and chic life, he is actually bound by many things.

The more Xiao Yue thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, he opened his eyes and looked at the dark night, turned over and sat up, wanting to lie down again, and finally got out of bed with his clothes on.

"What's the news coming from Gu Wu's side?" He asked the guards standing outside.

The guard said, "Before the prince fell asleep, there was news from below that she was quietly going out with a shadow (astragalus)." ”

Xiao Yue frowned, isn't she very disciplined? He can't even spy at night, and he actually sneaks out with someone by himself?

He thought for a moment, put on his clothes and went out the door, tiptoe tapping, and disappeared into the darkness.

The moonlight was very good this night, and the moonlight shrouded the earth, and in the alley where Gu Nian had disappeared, Gu Ci was shrinking there.

"Gu Nian, you slut, you hurt me like this, I will definitely let you repay it a hundred times in ......the future."

Gu Ci's voice trembled, with a slight sob.

Xiao Yue stood in the shadow of the eaves, silently listening to Gu Ci's curse.

After a while, two slender figures came under the moonlight in the distance, Xiao Yue touched his chin, hugged his arms against the tile wall, and stared at the two of them getting closer and closer.

"Really? What are you doing scolding like that? Are you afraid of those homeless people, flower thieves don't know that there is a big girl shrinking here? Gu Nian stood in front of Gu Ci with a smile.

Gu Ci was squatting in the corner, hugging his shoulders and curling into a ball, when he heard her voice, he looked up in disbelief.

Gu Nian squatted down a little away from her and sighed, "Does this feel good?" What you've been through, I've experienced. Harm hatch harm catch. ”

"You slut." Gu Ci gritted his teeth and was about to pounce, but was grabbed by the astragalus and thrown back into the corner.

Gu Ci struggled and said angrily, "Gu Nian, you little slut, there will always be a day when you will beg me for mercy." ”

"Save it." Gu Nian stood up and patted the hem of her skirt, "Don't think about it in your life." ”

"Gu Nian, don't be too arrogant." Gu Ci gritted his teeth.

Gu Nian smiled, "Arrogant? ”

She looked up at the deep night sky, then smiled and spun around in place, "Gu Ci, do you know? That night, after I left here, I was already dead once. ”

"Gu Ci, do you know what it feels like to die? You have a human life in your hands, you say I'm arrogant? ”

"Listen to me, from the day I come back alive, there will only be my share in how I torture you, and there will never be anything you calculate about me."

Gu Ci looked at the smiling face under the moonlight, and regretted it for a while.

"Aren't you okay now? Died once? Fool whom? Do you think your dad will be able to do whatever he wants when he comes back? We'll wait and see. ”

Gu Ci grinned.

Gu Nian casually rolled his palms,

"When you die once, you'll know if I'm a liar,

You didn't design me once, but when I came back, you dared to do it again?

These hands look clean, right, but, you know what? Killed two people, and maybe more in the future.

Don't tell me you don't know how important a woman's name is, in the past, I didn't overshadow your brilliance, and what others knew was the three girls of Gu Fu, and she was unmatched.

No one paid attention to the five girls of the Gu Mansion, even if they had an impression, they just sighed, they were pitiful.

But why are you dealing with me?

You say I'm still fine, am I really okay?

Even if I stand in front of you now, the fact that I have been abducted and trafficked will never fade away from me, maybe after many years, people will forget it, but as long as the fact exists, it will be scarred. ”

"I want you to taste this forever scarred life."

Gu Nian said unhurriedly, what he said seemed to be very plain, but it was extremely sad to listen to, and there was a ruthless taste.

Gu Ci looked at her tremblingly, cowering in the corner of the wall and motionless, why did she attack Gu Nian? The reason, she can't tell.

Perhaps, she was jealous of her, jealous of her being a widowed and eldest daughter, but she could be raised by the eldest princess, and jealous that she said such a good family business.

Zhou Yuxuan's name, which lady in the capital doesn't know? She doesn't love Zhou Yuxuan, but she just can't see Gu Nian marrying him.

And her relatives, what kind of rotten person is that, why?

"Don't worry, although you let me die once, I won't let you die too, I will only let you ...... It's better to live than to die! Gu Nian clapped his hands and said with a smile.

She has lived so many lives, what pain has she not suffered? But the original 'Gu Nian' didn't suffer it, so she must collect debts for 'her'.

"Oh, your mother is afraid that you will be really wronged, so she sent a lot of people to follow you and protect you, and the traffickers are also looking for you, it doesn't matter, I also found someone to follow you, you have to worry."

Gu Ci looked at Gu Nian, who was the same as before, his lips trembled, his teeth touched lightly, and he made a 'gurgling' sound, and a fear came out from the depths of his heart.

Xiao Yue on the roof frowned and looked at Gu Nian, he had always been deviant, he lived casually, or wantonly, he wanted to kill people at will, but Gu Nian was even more casual than him.

It can even be said that she has a look of not caring and indifferent from her bones, not caring what others think of her, and not caring what the future will be.

It seems that the red dust of this world is nothing more than such a feeling for her.

Was it because poisoning made her like this? Or is it something else?

When he looked over again, Gu Nian had already ordered Astragalus to go back, and the slender and emaciated figure walked farther and farther.

"What? Does the prince like to look at the stars from the rooftop? I saw a figure walking out of the shadow of the roof opposite, and the voice was Gu Shi'an.

Xiao Yue still leaned on the spot with his arms crossed, half-ringing, and said slowly, "The moonlight is very good." ”

*

Gu Nian saw Gu Ci, went back and fell asleep, woke up the next day, and heard from Ah Jing outside that Mrs. Yu was here and was sitting in the flower hall in the front yard, and Gu Shi'an had already gone to the yamen, Gu Nian thought about it, washed and changed clothes, and went to the flower hall to see Mrs. Yu.

Old Madam Yu heard the rumors outside, and she was happy, thinking that Gu Shi'an would go back to the house to beg her, but she didn't see Gu Shi'an go back, so she rushed here.

Who knew that Gu Shi'an had already gone to the Shangya, and she sat in the hall for half an hour before she saw Gu Nian, who was belated.

As soon as Gu Nian entered the hall, he sincerely apologized, "Old lady, I've kept you waiting for a long time, I just moved in, it's still a mess, if you neglect the old lady, please forgive me." ”

Mrs. Yu has never heard Gu Nian call herself 'grandmother' since Gu Nian was abducted, and she didn't care about it before, but when she heard it today, her face darkened, and she had to rely on her hands to hold on to the armrests of the chair to talk about the anger that was about to explode and go out.

There are really no rules at all.

She said in a deep voice, "I have something to say to your father, you send someone to invite your father back from the yamen." ”

Gu Nian paused and said with a smile, "I wonder if the old lady has anything important to tell her father?" Can I convey it? Or the old lady can also take a rest here and wait for her father to go down, and I can ......"

The Yang family, who accompanied the old lady to come, said unhappily, "Xiao Wu, although your father has split up, the Guogong Mansion is still his home, your grandmother has raised him for decades, and although you were raised by the princess of the country, but your surname is Gu, even if we did something bad in the past, where did you learn the rules of calling your grandmother 'old lady' like this." ”

Gu Nian smiled, with a somewhat sarcastic smile,

"So, you and the old lady came here today to remind my father of the grace of nurturing for decades, and did you come to remind me of the rules?

I learned my rules from you.

Speaking of which, I forgot that there was still some family property that was not given to us when the family was separated, right?

Or did you send these here today? ”

Yang stood up, his face was pale, Gu Nian smiled, and said, "If you want to talk to me about the rules, and tell me about the grace of parenting, then forgive me for overstepping the line, let's talk about it well." ”

She turned her head to look at Old Madam Yu, who was staring at her fiercely, "Father and I never thought about what to do to the Gu family, we just wanted to live a few quiet days, since you want to talk about it, then spread it out and say it." ”

"Lest people outside say that my father is ungrateful, that I have no rules, and that I don't know how to be grateful."

Old Madam Yu suddenly stood up and said to the Yang family, "Eldest daughter-in-law, let's go, the Gu family doesn't know what sin they have done, there are such two things that have committed crimes and don't understand the rules, let's go, if we don't go, will we stay here and be insulted by the juniors?" ”

Yang stood beside Old Madam Yu, supported her, and glared at Gu Nian, "Xiao Wu, don't think that you can be rampant if you divide it, and don't think that you can have no scruples if your marriage has been decided, I want to ask Mrs. An Yuanhou, do you want a daughter-in-law like you." ”

Gu Nian smiled, don't say that her marriage with Cousin Xuan has been dissolved, she just wants to marry in, and she doesn't want to be wronged.

"How about me, I don't need you to comment yet, you said that you want to talk to me about the rules and parenting grace, I didn't say anything, and now I say that I insulted the two, so do I have to be the same as before, let me beat and scold?

Sorry, I can't.

Once upon a time, I thought that my relatives only had one fate, and I cherished the time we spent together, because in the next life, no matter what, we will never see each other.

But now I've figured it out, relatives like you, don't do it.

That's all I have to say, you can do whatever you want, you can report to the official, and let the imperial history say that I am not filial, anyway, now my father and I have been said to be incomplete. ”

After Mrs. Yu and the Yang family left, Huang Qi said cautiously, "Girl, you were really powerful just now." ”

Gu Nian smiled, it's not amazing, it's just that she is tired of dealing with the Gu family, and she thought that if she broke up, she would be able to stay away.

But she forgot that after all, Mrs. Yu is still her father's mother, and after she makes such a fuss, there will definitely be a lot of stopping, and they can also get a period of peace.

In the evening, after Gu Shi'an came back, someone naturally reported the matter to him, he frowned and went to Gu Nian's courtyard, Gu Nian happened to be taking medicine, and when he saw Gu Shi'an coming in, he hurriedly put down the medicine bowl, gave his eyes to Astragalus, and asked her to break it quickly.

It's just that the actions of the master and servant can not be concealed from Gu Shi'an, he reached out and took the medicine bowl, sniffed it, and said, "Why didn't you tell Daddy if you were uncomfortable?" ”

Gu Nian said, "It's nothing, don't you know that I always had nightmares some time ago, and my spirit is a little bad, so eat some soothing soup." ”

Gu Shi'an let out an 'oh', put down the medicine bowl, sat in front of Gu Nian, and looked at Gu Nian without saying a word.

After a long while, Gu Nian said crampedly, "Dad, what are you looking at me like this?" ”

Gu Shi'an reached out and touched Gu Nian's head,

"You are my daughter, and although we have little time together, you have forgotten what your father does.

As soon as you lie, you will pick your nails, so do you tell me yourself, or will I drag you down and torture you, or let Jinyiwei investigate......"

Gu Nian looked at Gu Shi'an with wide eyes, "Dad, it has nothing to do with the maid." "After that, let the astragalus go down.

She sighed and said, "Didn't I say it was okay?" ”

Gu Nian started talking about what she found out that Mama Chen had appropriated her, then how she found out that Mama Chen was wrong, and finally when it came to her poisoning, she hid it and didn't mention the part about Xiao Yue.

Gu Shi'an only felt that there was silence in his ears, his beloved wife had left her, and her only request before her death was for him to take good care of their daughter.

However, he did not do it, he went into self-imposed exile for more than ten years, and her daughter, as if both parents were dead, went from grandmother to grandmother's house.

She was mistreated, but she never said it, she endured it silently, she was designed by her cousin to be abducted, she escaped strongly, she was captured by human traffickers, she killed human traffickers!

She is a powerless little girl, how scared should she be when she kills?

But she had to, otherwise, she would be the one who died.

How was she in pain at that time, pain to the bone marrow?

Did she ever fantasize that someone could come to her rescue?

He thought he still had a chance to be good to her, and he thought she still had time to make up for the lack of fatherly love for more than ten years.

It turned out that he didn't have much of a chance.

Gu Shi'an's face was blue and uncertain, and he was gray, his eyes were not focused, he looked straight ahead, his mind was in chaos, as if he had a body, pulling, and a sharp blade was cutting through his heart and flesh.

He felt something rush up, and Gu Shi'an spurted out a large mouthful of blood.

Gu Nian was frightened and looked at the bright red on the ground in disbelief.

She hated herself for being too careless, how could she be discovered by her father, and her father really couldn't accept this blow.

She could feel Gu Shi'an's heart that wanted to make up for it, and she also enjoyed Gu Shi'an's warm fatherly love for her.

She hurriedly stepped forward and shook Gu Shi'an, constantly calling 'Dad.' Seeing that there was no response, she shouted loudly, 'Astragalus, Astragalus, come in.' ’

After Astragalus came in in a hurry, she said hurriedly,

"Dad knows about my poisoning, and he just vomited a mouthful of blood, you can take a look."

Huang Qi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to check Gu Shi'an's pulse, and said, "Girl, don't worry, the master is in a hurry, if you can't vomit out this blood, it's a big deal, the slave has a pill there, just go and bring it to the master." ”

Gu Shi'an spit out a mouthful of blood, but the person slowly came to his senses, he held Gu Nian's hand, looked at the bright red blood on the ground, and wanted to appease Gu Nian, but when he said it, his voice was extremely cold, "Where is that Mama Chen?" ”

Gu Nian was silent, how could she tell her father that there was a man who secretly broke into his daughter's room at night, and then his daughter took advantage of this man because of her weak strength, so wouldn't he be even more sad at that time?

After all, if he had been by his side, he wouldn't have suffered so many sins.

It just so happened that Astragalus took the medicine and hurriedly came in, and handed the medicine to Gu Shi'an, "Third master, you have taken this medicine, you vomited blood just now......

Gu Shi'an took the medicine and stared at the astragalus gloomily, and the astragalus moved uneasily.

"Do you know how to heal? Are you the son of the house? Who are the parents? ”

Astragalus stabilized his mind and returned neatly, "The slave maid sells herself, and her father is a wandering man, so he knows a little medical skills......"

Gu Shi'an stared at the medicine in his hand, and only after half a sound did he raise his hand and put it in his mouth and chew it slowly.

Gu Nian hurriedly poured a glass of water on the table and held it, "Dad, you drink saliva." ”

Gu Shi'an took the cup, put it on the table, still chewed the pill slowly, half a sound, swallowed it, and then picked up the cup and drank a few sips of water.

He looked at Gu Nian calmly and said, "What else I don't know, I said it today, my father can stand it." ”

Gu Nian hesitated slightly, and said with a smile, "No...... No ......."

Gu Shi'an suddenly quickly raised his hand and waved it at Astragalus, and Astragalus subconsciously tiptoed and dodged Gu Shi'an's attack.

"Huh." Gu Shi'an narrowed his eyes and suddenly chuckled, "You Fang Langzhong? ”

Gu Nian swallowed his saliva, "......"

Is it a blessing or a curse for my father to be so wise, to protect his shortcomings, and to be tall?

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin?" Gu Shi'an ruthlessly spit out four words, which made people can't help but guess the shadow area in Gu Nian's heart.

Gu Nian's ghostly expression made Gu Shi'an nod, stood up with his hands behind his back, and said, "You have a good rest, I'll go out for some things." ”

No matter how stupid Gu Nian was, she knew that Gu Shi'an must be looking for Xiao Yue, so she hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the hem of Gu Shi'an's clothes, and said,

"Dad, my daughter wants to go with me too."

Gu Shi'an looked at the moonlight outside, "It's so late, you don't want to go out, girls have to sleep more to be beautiful, I want your mother to ...... at the beginning."

Gu Nian refused, and looked at Gu Shi'an pitifully, "Mama Chen is now at the prince's place, I still have something to ask her." ”

Gu Shi'an turned around and left, Gu Nian thought that he would not take him there, "What are you doing?" Why don't you hurry up and keep up? ”

Gu Nian raised his head in surprise, followed, and said dog-leggedly, "Dad, I will definitely be fine in the future." ”

She suddenly remembered what happened to the old lady Yu and them during the day, and said cautiously, "Dad, grandmother and grandmother came during the day, and they ran away because of my anger, you don't blame me, right?" ”

Gu Shi'an then remembered what he came to Gu Nian for in the first place, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "In the past, my father was confused and made you wronged, and you can do whatever you want in the future,"

Originally, it was late at night, and a curfew had been implemented in the city, but what kind of person was Gu Shi'an, his identity was the best to use, and he arrived outside the Jin Wang's Mansion unimpeded all the way.

After getting out of the carriage, Gu Shi'an said to Astragalus, "You should know how to call the door, right?" ”

Astragalus nodded and went to the side door.

After a while, the door opened, Huang Qi stepped forward and said a few words, and then beckoned to Gu Nian's father and daughter, and after entering the door, he turned a few corners and saw Xiao Yue.

Gu Shi'an didn't have any greetings, and said directly, "I want to see Mama Chen." ”

Xiao Yue was originally sitting on the chair, but when he saw Gu Shi'an's father and daughter, his expression was indifferent and calm, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he also did not greet him, stood up, and led the two to a small torture room that was half hidden underground.

Mama Chen was the only one in the torture room, sitting on the ground with her eyes closed, her head against the wall, her waist tightly wrapped around the iron chains sticking out of the wall, her hair was slightly messy, her clothes were quite neat, and there was no trace of torture.

Gu Nian was slightly surprised, she thought that according to Xiao Yue's temperament, Mama Chen would definitely not be able to see it, Xiao Yue seemed to know her thoughts, and said lightly, "You said that I should be merciful." ”

If Gu Shi'an can come to the door, he must know everything.

Gu Shi'an stood in front of Mama Chen and looked at her condescendingly.

Mama Chen opened her eyes and looked at Gu Shi'an in surprise, and then her face was full of smiles, but her eyes were cold.

Gu Shi'an squinted his eyes, sat on the chair in front of her, and said slowly,

"I just want to ask you, why are you setting up this bureau? Nian Nian is taken care of by you from the infancy, so many years, even if you have a dog, you have feelings, how can you do it? ”

Mama Chen raised her head and squinted at Gu Shi'an, "If it weren't for her feelings, the fifth girl would have been dead a long time ago." ”

Gu Shi'an laughed and said, "Then you still want to thank you?" You said that your sister-in-law asked you to poison it, so let me ask you.

When did my sister-in-law start asking you to poison Niannian? And how did she give you the poison?

Is it given to you directly? Or was it handed over? What was given to you directly, where was it given? How many times have you given it?

If so, who is that person? How did you get the handover......

You poisoned Niannian, where did you put it? Food? With? There are also a lot of people waiting in her yard, how did you get the medicine in? ”

Gu Shi'an sneered, stared at Mama Chen, and asked a long list of questions.

Mama Chen leaned against the wall, laughed while listening, tilted her head slightly, and sneered,

"What's the point of asking that? What if you know? In fact, you know that it was not the Duchess of the Kingdom who poisoned it. ”

Gu Shi'an's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were sharp and cold, "Then you say, who poisoned him?" ”

Mama Chen laughed out loud, let out a heavy, long sigh, and said, "Want to know who poisoned you?" Dream. ”

She took a sip gently, "What's the matter, the people you care about are leaving you, it feels very bad?" The county lord is dead, the old man is dead, and your daughter is dying. It's all retribution. ”

"Retribution? Then what hurtful things have I done to repay me? Gu Shi'an asked her.

Mama Chen said with a smile, "In the future, you can go underground and ask the old man, he knows why the retribution has come to you." ”

Gu Nian had been standing on the side silently, and suddenly asked softly,

"Mama Chen, you said that you have feelings for me, so can you tell me how my mother died?"

Mama Chen looked up at Gu Nian in astonishment and laughed.

The county lord of Jingning has always been in good health, Gu Shi'an didn't do anything to be sorry for her, and she didn't die from a woman's most difficult birth, why did she die for no reason?

That's what Gu Nian wanted to ask.
