Chapter 44: Rescue
Passing by the lotus pond, it was dark all around, Gu Yan hid in the grass, hoping that she could have a chance, she believed that no matter what situation she encountered, she could resolve it.
At this moment, there was a shouting and scolding with a strong wind, and before the people around could understand what was going on, there was a huge sound of falling water, and a woman's scream came, followed by the sound of splashing, and the sound of calling for help.
At this time, the direction of the lotus pond suddenly became a mess, Gu Yan quietly poked her head out, and saw a woman standing on the edge of the lotus pond with her toes high, pointing at the woman who fell into the water and scolding, the words were unsightly, as if she was saying something like seducing her man.
But if there is no one to save the woman in the water, she will die.
Gu Yan's heart was crossed, no matter whether she sneaked in or not, at least she couldn't watch this woman drown, right?
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Yan rushed up, plunged into the water, and swam towards the woman with all her might.
The woman was very nervous, and the people around her obviously didn't want to save herself, and even hoped that she would fall into the water, and suddenly someone appeared to save herself, as if she had found her own life-saving straw, and when Gu Yan approached, she was wrapped around her neck.
After being surrounded by a woman, Gu Yan felt that she had some difficulty breathing.
But fortunately, this time Gu Yan was prepared, and said to the woman with difficulty: "Relax and relax, don't be nervous, you can hold your breath and take a look." ”
The woman was nervous, but after hearing Gu Yan's calm words, she finally slowly gave up the struggle and swam to the shore with her.
In fact, Gu Yan is also afraid of water, she was pushed into the water by Gu Zhihua without preparation, facing the fear of the darkness around her, and the despair of no one to rescue her, in the end, she could only watch the helplessness and unwillingness of watching herself sink.
Gu Yan also knew that she was afraid of more things, but this time, no matter what happened to her, she would not be afraid anymore, because fear corresponds to death, she doesn't want herself to die, not everyone can have a chance to do it again.
The two of them were like carrying stones, and when they were about to reach the shore, the woman who suddenly stood on the shore and scolded rushed up like crazy, and wanted to kick Gu Yan and the woman's head, Gu Yan quickly dodged, but she didn't expect that the woman in her arms didn't dodge, the woman's body was already frozen a little stiff, and this kick kicked her down.
Just when Gu Yan was about to lose the strength to grab this woman, Liu Shiyan arrived in time and ordered the guards behind him to pull Gu Yan and the woman up.
Gu Yan climbed up from the water with difficulty, sat on the ground and coughed twice, and then spit out a lot of water from her lungs, but fortunately, there was nothing serious.
The situation of the woman over there was not so optimistic, the woman was lying on the ground, her face was pale, and the clothes on her body were already wet and hanging on her body because of the tossing, outlining her delicate figure. There was even a spring on the chest, but fortunately, it was already dark at this time, and no one around noticed the woman's rudeness.
Liu Shixiao saw that the woman had nothing to do with it, so she thought of something, rushed to the woman who was screaming, gave the woman a hard slap, hit the woman to the ground, and said loudly: "Are you crazy?" Why? ”
The woman covered her face, tears fell at once, and said to Liu Shichi: "My lord, I am your wife, don't you feel sad about me like this?" Why do this to me? If you don't love me at all, why do you want to marry me? ”
The woman's voice is very loud, with unparalleled despair, and she can't accept that her man has a tryst with another woman at night, if this woman is just a simple woman, it doesn't matter, if she is single, she can also use this woman as her concubine, but this woman is another man's, this kind of nondescript thing, if it is spread out, it is simply a slap in the face Liu Shichi's wife, no woman wants others to think that she is not worthy of her man.
It turned out that this woman was Liu Shixiao's wife, probably because she didn't like him and Mrs. Li Li in the evening tryst, so she pushed Mrs. Li Li into the water out of jealousy.
In other words, this woman is also powerful, if Mrs. Li Li is poured to death in this mansion, maybe after the word is spread, the matter between Liu Shixiao and Mrs. Li Li will be completely exposed, and her good life will be regarded as the end of her life, besides, when men at this time face women, they originally like good-looking women, which is very normal, and there is nothing unacceptable.
Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, although what Liu Shixiao did was really disgusting, but this woman always had to think about the overall situation.
Liu Shixiao's face was obviously unbearable, so he waved his hand and said to the guard next to him: "Take Mrs. down for me, lock me in the firewood room for reflection, and release it when the reflection is good!" ”
The woman who was called Madame was crying all the time, and when she was pulled down, she was still muttering something, but Liu Shihina didn't pay attention to it at all.
Instead, he hurried to Mrs. Li Li, held her in his arms, felt distressed, and asked, "Ru'er, are you okay?" ”
The lady called Ru'er was not as fragile as she imagined, shook her head and smiled and said, "I'm fine, but I want to thank this girl for saving me, is she from your house?" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to Gu Yan next to him, whose face was also very pale, and asked.
The moment Liu Shixiao slowly turned her head to look at Gu Yan's face, it was as if she had been electrocuted, and she was full of excitement, and then stammered and asked, "Aren't you the woman who came with the Nine Princes?" Why are you here? ”
Gu Yan smiled awkwardly, in fact, she had thought of countless reasons and wanted to have a good talk with Liu Shixiao, but she didn't expect that it would be such a scene in the end, which was indeed a little embarrassing.
Gu Yan got up, the sore pain in her lungs was no longer taken care of at this time, she smiled at Liu Shixiao and said, "Lord Liu, this disaster is actually as long as you donate a little food. ”
Liu Shiyan knew that Gu Yan came over because of this matter, and suddenly her face was very bad, and she said to Gu Yan with a cold face: "Girl, I respect you as the person next to the Nine Princes, and today I will ask you, did I cause this disaster?" If not, why would I use my net worth to help those people? Obviously, I shouldn't be the one responsible for the disaster this time, right? How many people in this capital have money and food, why do I need to give food? ”
In fact, what Liu Shiyan said is not wrong, people's food and family wealth are obtained by their own hard work, there is indeed no need to take it out to help the world and save the people, people take it is friendship, not to take it is duty, if you must ask people to take it out, it is indeed a bit excessive.
"Lord Liu, after this disaster, all the economic strength of the capital will regress for a long time, and then all the people will be in difficulty, your family is dominant, that is, if the royal family and the imperial court find out, it must be sanctioned, I think that when others expose and attack you, it is better to take the initiative, which is not only good-looking, but also has the initiative." Gu Yan is still making the last effort, in her opinion, it is inevitable to attack all the officials, whether it is the prime minister or the general, in the case of the court has no money, it is more or less to express, the court is this place, it is rich, and its subordinates are naturally rich, if it has no money, can it still live so happily in these official families?
Liu Shiyan looked at Gu Yan silently, and after her face wandered, she finally asked, "Who are you?" ”
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, is this asking her family, and then preparing to take revenge on herself? You must know that this Liu Shihina can do this kind of thing to collude with other people's women, which means that he is not a decent gentleman, that is to say, it is not easy to impress him, and the easier way is to put the truth in front of him, which he can accept.
Since he can walk in, he is not afraid that Liu Shixiao will retaliate against him, so he said: "I am a girl from the Gu family." ”
"The girl of Prime Minister Gu's family?" Liu Shihina asked.
Gu Yan nodded.
Liu Shiyan smiled for a moment, and then said: "Sure enough, a woman who can mix with the Nine Princes and be so dignified, only the women of Gu Chengxiang's family can have this honor to be with the Nine Princes." ”
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what Liu Shiyan meant by this, and another point was that she didn't say which one she was at all, so he said such a thing, which made people feel a little strange and hasty.
"Did you agree?" Gu Yan didn't want to be led astray by this willow chick, so she asked.
Liu Shixiao squinted her eyes, and at this time, Mrs. Ru'er, who had been in Liu Shixiao's arms, raised her head and said to him: "My lord, just fulfill this girl's wish, just take it as a reward for saving my life, what do you think?" ”
Liu Shiyan didn't expect Ru'er to be able to help Gu Yan speak, thinking that no matter what this girl said, she also saved her life, no matter how she came in, at least she didn't do anything to be sorry for the Liu family, her suggestion can be considered.
So Liu Shixiao looked at Gu Yan, and then said: "I decided to help you after listening to Ru'er's words, you go back first." ”
Gu Yan was relieved, as the saying goes, the wind on the pillow is really true, she has said so many big truths, the head of the analysis is the way, it is not as good as a word from a woman, although it feels ridiculous, but after all, this time is considered a success, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Liu Shihina and said: "That's really thank you Lord Liu." ”
