Chapter 429: Condolence
Master Chu, Mrs. Chu, Chu Moxing, and Chu Yueli came to the Gu Mansion in a car.
Gu Mansion changed to a plain overnight, and the original lofty style turned into deep grief.
Because the eldest princess went to the Chu Mansion early in the morning to kill Chu Lianying, Chu Yueli was delayed for some time when she arrived at the Gu Mansion, and many people had already come to the Gu Mansion to mourn Gu Hou.
Chu Yueli is dressed in a dark green dress, and her face is not rubbed with rouge, but it is like a beautiful jade carving, which is brilliant in its own splendor. She walked into the gate of the Gu Mansion in full view of everyone, and followed the little maid all the way to the mourning hall.
Outside the mourning hall, there were ministers waiting to worship, all with sad expressions, as if their own son was lying in the coffin.
In the crowd, Gu Jiuxiao's white linen suit was particularly eye-catching.
He stands straight, like a silver gun that has been on the battlefield for many years, which not only makes people retreat, but also has a painful story that is difficult to tell. When he saw Chu Yueli, his eyes suddenly shrank, obviously he didn't expect Chu Yueli to come. However, in the next second, the eyes were shockingly cold. Anyone can clearly feel Gu Jiuxiao's hatred for Chu Yueli.
Originally, everyone still suspected that Gu Hou's death was related to Gu Jiuxiao, after all, there was only one position of Hou Ye, who didn't want to enjoy such dignity?! For the sake of glory and wealth, how many brothers have turned against each other and killed each other. It's not unusual. Looking at Gu Jiuxiao's appearance now, it is obvious that he ...... It's not like that. He obviously hated Chu Yueli, who killed Gu Hou.
Mrs. Chu and Lord Chu were frightened by Gu Jiuxiao's eyes, and they both lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
In front of everyone's eyes, Chu Yueli looked calm, lowered her eyebrows, and honestly followed Mrs. Chu's side, ignoring Gu Jiuxiao's gaze, but sighed heavily in her heart, and said secretly: He doesn't believe me after all.
In the study, the eldest princess heard that Chu Yueli was coming, so she whispered a few words to Mama Li.
Mama Li walked out of the study, came to the mourning hall, and said to Chu Yueli: "Third Miss, please come with the old slave." ”
Chu Yueli bowed her head slightly and left with Mama Li. The two came to the hut behind the mourning hall, Mama Li took out a set of fine linen clothes, put them in front of Chu Yueli, and said, "The eldest princess instructed the young lady to change her clothes." ”
Chu Yueli said: "The eldest princess sincerely invited me to come to condole, but she wants to let the guests wear linen and filial piety, what is the reason?" ”
Mama Li said: "The eldest princess appreciates the face of the third lady, and she must accept it." As for the meaning of the eldest princess, I think the third lady knows it in her heart. ”
Chu Yueli sneered and said, "It's really the first time I've been worried about being so good and being favored by the eldest princess. ”
Mama Li sank her face and said, "Worship in the mourning hall, please respect the third lady." ”
Chu Yueli looked eager for knowledge, and asked, "What do you mean by the word self-respect?" ”
Mama Li lowered her voice and said, "Third Miss......"
At this moment, Gu Jiuxiao walked into the house and interrupted the conversation between the two.
Mama Li said: "Ninth master? ”
Gu Jiuxiao said: "Go out." ”
Mama Li hesitated.
Gu Jiuxiao's eyes swept away coldly.
Mama Li was horrified, and obediently retreated outside the house, but she didn't dare to leave, and hurriedly sent someone to tell the eldest princess.
In the house, Gu Jiuxiao walked towards Chu Yueli step by step, until he was one step away, stood still, stared at her eyes and asked, "You still dare to come?" Raising his hand, he pinched her chin, "Is it that the Ninth Master spoils you too much, so that you don't remember what you have done?" ”
Chu Yueli looked back at Gu Jiuxiao's eyes and said, "My memory has always been very good, and I know exactly what I have done. What has not been done is also clear. ”
Gu Jiuxiao suddenly became furious! Let go of Chu Yueli's chin, and it will be a big mouth! Slap it hard!
The corners of Chu Yueli's lips were broken, and a line of blood flowed out, which was particularly eye-catching. She wiped the blood with her thumb, put it in her mouth, licked and swallowed, and said: "Gu Jiuxiao, I don't hide, not because I can't hide, and I don't owe you anything, I just give you a way to vent, but I also advise you, don't take my tolerance as your capital to distinguish between right and wrong." ”
Gu Jiuxiao's eyes shrank, grabbed Chu Yueli's collar, pulled the person closer, gritted his teeth and said, "What a sharp tooth!" Reversing black and white, you really have it at your fingertips. But I'm not blind! Only hate...... At that time, instead of stopping you, he escorted you away! Chu Yueli, do you have any sincerity for me?! ”
Chu Yueli knew that even if she knelt on the ground and shouted that she was wronged, Gu Jiuxiao would not believe her. Moreover, what he asked was that she was a little sincere to him, and Chu Yueli didn't want to lie to him on this issue. More than once, she wanted to make it clear to him that he would retreat to a far position and not be taken advantage of by her. Yes, she knew his mind, so she ...... Took advantage of him. Now, things are pressing to this point step by step, but she can no longer use his sincerity towards her and retreat.
Gu Jiuxiao saw that Chu Yueli was silent, and knew that she had no true feelings for him, and the heart that was still looking forward to it was completely dead at this moment. He felt as if he had become a walking corpse, and if it weren't for his blood-stained robes, he would have lost the meaning of life.
He pulled Chu Yueli's collar, dragged her to the door, pushed her out, and said, "Wuzhong, let her wear linen and filial piety, and kneel in front of the eldest brother." ”
Wu Zhong responded: "No! As soon as he waved, a guard rushed up and wanted to forcibly put on a linen dress for Chu Yueli.
Chu Yueli stood up straight, looked at Gu Jiuxiao, and slowly opened her arms, like an emperor waiting for someone else's wide clothes.
Gu Jiuxiao's heart trembled slightly, but he turned his head ruthlessly and walked towards the mourning hall.
After Chu Yueli was dressed, the guards were about to push her to walk quickly, Chu Yueli avoided the hand that slapped her injured shoulder, and said proudly: "I'll go by myself." ”
When Chu Yueli appeared in everyone's eyes again, she had already changed her dress. This kind of thing has always belonged to the unique dress of the closest people, and even those concubines in Gu Boxi's backyard did not have this qualification.
Wu Zhong led Chu Yueli to the side of Gu Boxi's grave and said, "Kneel!" ”
Chu Yueli stood still and didn't move.
Gu Jiuxiao said: "It seems that the third young lady's knees can't bend, Wu Zhong, you help her." ”
As soon as Wu Zhong raised his foot, he kicked towards Chu Yueli's popliteal fossa.
Chu Yueli was kicked, but instead of kneeling on the ground, her knees bent and she straightened her legs.
Wu Zhong was about to kick again, Chu Yueli suddenly turned his head to look at Wu Chong, his eyes were cold and domineering, which made Wu Chong's feet heavy and did not lift them.
Chu Yueli turned her head, looked at Gu Boxi's coffin, and said, "Gu Hou is a gentleman, such as grinding, gentle and kind, and virtuous. The little woman Chu Yueli, although she had no chance to marry Gu Hou as his wife, admired Gu Hou's character and regarded him as her brother, so she knelt here today, full of admiration. With that, in the stunned eyes of everyone, he slowly knelt down and straightened his back, as if he was doing something that made people feel proud.
Everyone turned their heads to each other and had a different opinion on this rumored woman who was full of notoriety. Perhaps, the words of the market are not credible.
