Chapter 039: Defeat (I)
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Gu Yaolian looking here with a red lacquer food box, looking puzzled and uneasy.
Ji Shi was a little surprised, "Why are you here?" β
Gu Yao was stunned, "Where does the eldest lady think I should be?" β
Ji Shi also realized that she had lost her words, and she frowned, "Aren't you soaking in the hot springs?" β
"Yes, I haven't used my lunch yet, so the third lady pulled me to accompany her to the hot spring." Gu Yao smiled gently, "I didn't eat lunch well, and I always thought about the taste of sour plum soup in my heart." β
The third lady was kind-hearted and personally instructed the kitchen to prepare some sour plum soup. Just now she said that she was tired and asked me to go and get it myself, so I went. β
"Aunt Ren and the eldest lady are so coincidental, why don't you use sour plum soup together? Aunt Li's craftsmanship is always not wrong. β
Aunt Li on Zhuangzi, it is said that there were people in the imperial dining room who worked in the ancestral dining room, and there was an ancestral secret recipe, which Pei Yu personally invited back.
Aunt Li is good at making desserts and soups, but because she is old and doesn't like the restraints in the Bofu, she has been raised in Zhuangzi.
Ji Shi stared at Gu Yaolian in front of him, anxious and annoyed.
Why is Gu Yaolian here? She clearly ordered people to be drugged? What the hell is going on.
Damn, what the hell went wrong?
"Mama Lan, why are you here in person?" Gu Yao saw that Ji and Aunt Ren's expressions were strange, and she sighed, "You have inconvenient legs and feet, I should have been a junior to see you." β
"Girl, what you say is a torment for the old slave." Mama Lan will also be completely sober at this time, someone is calculating her, wanting her to see something that should not be seen, and then let her pass the word to the Jiang family.
When the time comes, the Jiang family and Gu Yaolian's family affairs will be stopped, isn't she the culprit?
If this matter is true, she is naturally loyal to the Jiang family.
If it's fake? Wouldn't she become an accomplice?
Mama Lan was also shocked into a cold sweat, she pretended to be calm, and said with a smile, "I heard that the maid in the house said that the girl likes the taste of green plums recently, and it just so happened that the green plums on the Zhuangzi were ripe, so she sent them to the girl." β
"My wife always tells us that the girl is smart and filial, and a person like you is really like a bodhisattva."
Gu Yaolian lowered his head, but he was a little helpless in his heart.
The heart of a bodhisattva? Because of her kindness, did the Jiang family dare to hurt her so unscrupulously in the first place?
Because she will forgive, she will be considerate.
"Mama Yu, what did you just say?" Seeing that no one mentioned this, Gu Yao took the initiative to ask, "Why are you kneeling on the ground?" β
Mama Yu had already panicked and had no master, so she hurriedly kowtowed to Gu Yao, "Miss Biao spare her life." β
Gu Yaolian looked at Mama Yu, her eyes were red but her voice was very tough, "Mama Yu is an old man next to the eldest wife, and she is smarter than anyone else, how can she be clumsy like this today?" β
"Mama Yu is trying to ruin my reputation, and she wants to force me to throw myself into the river to prove my innocence."
When Ji heard Gu Yaolian say that he was going to throw himself into the river, his eyes suddenly brightened.
It's good to throw yourself into the river, but you will lose your life if you throw yourself into the river.
As a result, Gu Yaolian said the next moment, "But my father is coming back, he will definitely believe me, and my uncle and aunt will also believe in me." If something happens to me, they'll be heartbroken and find out the truth for me. β
Ji's face stiffened, and he muttered in his heart, can he come back sad if everyone is dead?
Besides, what if the truth is found? It's also a scandal to get out of trouble.
Ji seems to have forgotten that the person who is soaking in the soup spring pool now is not Gu Yaolian.
The surrounding atmosphere was very stiff, and the people swore that it was Gu Yaolian in the Tangquan Pool, but now Gu Yaolian appeared in front of them.
Regardless of who is in the pool, the situation is already obvious.
"Good boy." Aunt Ren finally spoke, she stepped forward and said to Gu Yaolian, "You go to the living room to talk to Mama Lan first, what is going on here ......"
Aunt Ren looked at the direction of the room, and her eyes were red, "I'll give you an explanation." β
"Say, what's the way?" Yuan Twelve came out of nowhere, he carried the placket behind the embroidered branch as if he was carrying something, and dragged the embroidered branch over, "You people are so vicious, not only to ruin our young lady's reputation, but also to ruin the entire Pei family?" β
"What are you talking about?" Ji immediately jumped to his feet, "Is there any room for you to speak here?" β
"I'm afraid the eldest lady has forgotten, the second master also said this to the little one back then, but what do you think of the result?" Yuan Twelve sneered, "The little one will take the girl back to the city tonight, and then tell the third master and the old uncle about this matter." β
Yuan Twelve was originally unruly, he had been by Pei Yu's side for many years, and his temperament had also converged a lot.
The young man is angry, ignores dignity and humility, and only sees good and evil in his eyes.
"You ......" Ji, who has always been domineering, has been so confronted by her subordinates, she roared, "If you talk nonsense, I will definitely sell you to the mine as hard labor." β
"If the eldest lady wants to sell me, she must have a deed!" Yuan Twelve threw the embroidered branch to the ground, "This treacherous thing, we can't afford to raise it in Chang'an Courtyard, so let's return it to the eldest wife." β
Yuan Twelve saluted Aunt Ren before saying, "Aunt Ren should persuade the eldest lady well, if something happens to our girl, does she think that the eldest lady and the second lady can be left alone?" But it's really not our girl who has an accident now, who is this person, I think these nonsense maids and Mama Yu know best. β
"Rumors are such a thing, and it is better to stop them in time."
Who are the people inside? The answer is self-explanatory.
Aunt Ren was the first to understand, but she could only endure it.
She's been pretending to be confused, but now she's trapped in it.
She didn't want the contradiction between the big room and the third room to become more and more obvious, only in this way would the old uncle be disgusted with these two children, and remember that he was far away and had a son.
It's her son who bleeds her bonesβ
Even if this child is not close to her, he only calls her aunt when he meets her, but after all, he is a blood relative.
So when Ji and Pei Ji were calculating her, Aunt Ren was willing to cooperate with them even if she knew.
The only thing she was a little disappointed about was that the girl she raised gave birth to wolf ambitions.
But it doesn't matter, it's not her child, she doesn't care.
But now......
"Someoneβsomeoneβ" A girl's voice came from the hot spring pool, her voice a little miserable, "what about people?" β
"Big lady save me-"
The girl cried and shouted, and Ji's face turned blue with anger, and she raised her feet and walked towards the inner room.
Gu Yaolian glanced at Yuan Twelve, asked him to stay where he was, and walked in with the Ji family.
Because someone will come to soak in the hot spring today, the veils in the house are almost all rolled up, and as soon as everyone enters, they see Pei Jiao standing with a dark-skinned man.
The man's face was fierce, and his upper body clothes were obviously torn, "You are a boudoir girl, do you want to be shameless?" β
