Chapter VI: Utilization
The familiar mourning hall, the familiar Sumi, but at this moment, in the coffin on the mourning hall, it is no longer the clothes, but her dear mother.
Gu Huanyi sat on the ground with the coffin in his arms, whimpering.
She still remembered what Li Congxin said to her before she fell into a coma, he was right, she had a lot to do, even if her family died, she would hold up the lintel of the General's Mansion and win the reputation that the Gu family deserved.
But she felt so difficult and afraid, how could she, who had never experienced any wind and rain, carry such a heavy burden?
After crying for a while, Gu Huanyi suddenly remembered the prophetic letter that her mother handed her.
She stumbled to the rockery in the back garden, and the prophecy letter in the treasure cave was safely placed inside.
Gu Huanyi opened the letter with trembling hands, and read the letter carefully word by word.
The defeat of the Gu family army and the death of his mother Song died of illness, as the letter said, one by one.
What's next?
Was the Gu family convicted and exiled?
No way!
Father and brother are loyal and brave, sacrifice their lives for the country, and they are obviously heroes, how can they bear the shame of being a criminal minister?
She put the letter away and ran back to the study.
What used to be his father's academy has now become Li Congxin's office.
The black-armored soldiers outside the academy did not stop Gu Huanyi from breaking in, she pushed open the door suddenly, stared at Li Congxin and asked, "Have you found the evidence of my father's innocence?" If you can't find it, I can help you! Although I don't know about my father's affairs in the army, I can help you find someone to ask...... For my father's sake, they will tell me! ”
After saying that, she found that Yin Qiyue of Liangzhou Mansion was also in the study.
Qi Yue looked at her with a shocked expression, obviously not expecting that someone would trespass on the office of King Ming.
Gu Huanyi and Lord Qi looked at each other, and suddenly thought that the Tang family had made a big statement, saying that they would ask Lord Fu Yin to come forward and help the Gu family take over her family's property.
Lord Qi is the official of Liangzhou's parents, if Lord Qi is really on the side of the Tang family, Gu Huanyi can say that every day should not be called the earth.
She held on to the door frame, her fingers twitching nervously.
Li Congxin's gaze fell on her uneasy hand.
When she is uneasy or careful, she is used to picking her fingers.
Li Congxin noticed Gu Huanyi's feet again.
The white feet were bleeding from the fingertips and stained with broken leaves.
Gu Huanyi was stunned by Li Congxin's eyes, showing an embarrassed look, and shrunk his unshoed feet uneasily.
"Gu Huanyi." Li Congxin helplessly shouted her name and said, "When will you listen to my words and learn to cherish yourself!" ”
Gu Huanyi's eyes flashed.
Li Congxin not only didn't blame her for trespassing, but also cared about her in front of Lord Qi!
Gu Huanyi's heart was crossed, he staggered forward, grabbed Li Congxin's sleeve, his eyes showed a little cowardice and anxiety, and said: "Shizi, I'm afraid that there is no time, tragedies and disasters are coming to me one by one, if I don't act again, what will be waiting for me next?" ”
Li Congxin held her shoulders and asked her to sit down, and then said to Lord Yin Qi, "Please go to the front hall and wait for a while, I have something to talk about with Miss Gu." ”
"Yes, Shizi, Wechen obeys ......"
Lord Qi bent down and withdrew, and when he reached out and closed the door, he really saw that the prince of Ming was squatting in front of Gu Huanyi, holding her ankle to check her injuries......
Master Qi covered his mouth and withdrew, his face full of disbelief, he was stunned outside the study for a moment, and then muttered to himself: "Gu family, the number of qi is not exhausted......"
In the study, Li Congxin let go of Gu Huanyi's ankles, squatted down and raised his head, and looked at her at eye level.
"Miss Gu, are you still satisfied with my cooperation?"
Gu Huanyi nervously held the handrail and asked, "What, what?" ”
Li Congxin stood up and turned his back, walked to the window, and said, "Now the Gu family and the Liangzhou Mansion Yin know that this son treats Miss Gu very differently, even if the General's Mansion is in such a big disaster, no one in Liangzhou dares to despise Miss." ”
Gu Huanyi looked at Li Congxin's back uneasily, she couldn't see his expression, and she didn't know if he was angry.
As Li Congxin said, Gu Huanyi did have a mind and wanted to gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, but she didn't mean to, it was really Li Congxin who followed her wishes everywhere, so she couldn't help but want to take advantage of it.
When she went to Renyi Fang to find Gu Hui in the morning, she didn't have any other thoughts, she was lonely and brave just to avenge her mother.
But when she saw Li Congxin coming outside the Renyi Fang, she thought that since he had chased him here, it would be better to establish his prestige in front of the clansmen in the name of the son, lest they bully her as an orphan girl again.
And Li Congxin was very cooperative in riding a horse with her and personally brought her back to the General's Mansion.
At this time, she deliberately broke into the study, and after seeing it with Lord Qi's "own eyes", how the Liangzhou officials should treat her in the future is also to be considered.
Gu Huanyi straightened his back, forced his face, and said, "Since the prince sees through my mind and cooperates like this, it shows that the prince thinks that I am also useful." ”
Being in a high position, there will be a lot of thinking about every move, Gu Huanyi doesn't believe that Li Congxin is just kind enough to help her tide over the difficulties.
Li Congxin turned around and stared at Gu Huanyi, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What use value does Miss Gu think she has now?" ”
Gu Huan was speechless.
When her father was there, she was the eldest lady of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and when her father was gone, she was nothing.
Li Congxin is the son of the world, and he is a celebrity in front of the saint, what can he want from her?
She said aggrievedly: "The son of the world is far-sighted, how can I know what he wants? Or use the Gu family to suppress political enemies, or gain fame by avenging the Gu family's army, there are always benefits, it can't be someone who likes me and wants me, right? ”
Li Congxin was shocked, and after being stunned for a moment, he sighed: "Miss Gu is worthy of being a tiger girl, she is really amazing." ”
Gu Huanyi's mouth was quick for a while, and his face turned red after he finished speaking.
Such tiger and wolf words, in normal times, she would never be able to say.
But people are in a desperate situation, and it is possible to say anything or do anything.
She bit her lip and said: "The guards around the prince never stop me, you yourself have stood up for me several times, what I do is just to follow the trend, if the prince feels that he has suffered a loss, stay away from me in the future, I will not take advantage of you again!" ”
After that, Gu Huanyi left in frustration.
Li Congxin, who was "taken advantage of", was also a little annoyed when he stood in place, he had only been in Liangzhou for two days, and he showed a lot of horses and feet in front of her.
It was he who was too careless.
Coming out of the study, Gu Huanyi was very weak and a little afraid.
Won't she be too presumptuous and unscrupulous? What can she do if she annoys the only "backer" she can count on now?
But she still has to be cheeky, and she really can't pull down her face and then please Li Congxin.
