Chapter 27: On the eve of the Lantern Festival
"Fourth sister!" Gu Qingxue's words were interrupted by Gu Qinglai Shengsheng halfway through, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the voice, and they all cast their eyes. Gu Qinglai coughed lightly and forced himself to show a calm appearance.
"Fourth sister, since this matter is your fault first, you will obediently admit your mistake, presumably the eldest sister will not pursue it." Gu Qinglai looked at Gu Qingxue and said in a deep voice, between his words, he actually wanted to put all the responsibility on Gu Qingxue.
"Second sister, what are you talking nonsense! Aren't these all the ideas you gave me? It was you who asked me to buy this man and put the snake in the yard of my big sister! Why is it that I am at fault now? Gu Qingxue looked at her with a shocked face and asked, she originally thought that Gu Qinglai would protect her, but who knew that something happened and pushed her out like this!
Gu Qinglai was even more angry when she heard this, she almost vomited blood, if she could, she really wanted to rush up and sew up Gu Qingxue's unobstructed mouth now!
"The fourth sister is confused! It's your personal maid who kneels here! It's you who have a grudge against your big sister, and now that your tricks have been exposed, and you are afraid of being punished by your father, why bother to drag me into the water? Gu Qinglai held back the anger in his heart, and in a blink of an eye, he changed into a tearful appearance, looked at Gu Qingxue and sobbed and said.
Gu Qingxue couldn't help but be stunned when she saw her face change so quickly, and she forgot to defend herself for a while.
"Daddy! This matter really has nothing to do with my daughter! My daughter has always respected her big sister, how could she do such a thing that is unconscionable. Gu Qinglai lifted the hem of her skirt and walked to the front, Shi Shiran knelt down, looked at Gu Shuyuan and said with rain.
Gu Jiuge was condescending, glanced down at her, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.
One day, she will completely tear apart Gu Chiang Rai's hypocritical mask and see how she still cries!
"Second sister, you are so ruthless! On that day, it was you who asked Song Lao Wu if there were any poisonous snakes in his house, and then gave me this plan, but now you are pushing everything on me! It's in vain that I trust you so much! Looking at Gu Qinglai's appearance of pear blossoms with rain, Gu Qingxue finally came back to her senses and pointed at her and roared angrily.
Gu Jiuge didn't say anything when he saw this, just watched them fight in the nest.
"Enough! Both of you go to the ancestral hall and kneel!" Don't come out without my orders! Gu Shuyuan was angry, pointing at the two of them and scolding angrily. Thinking of Fang Cai's scene, his scalp was still numb, if Gu Jiuge didn't notice it, wouldn't those poisonous snakes want to eat Gu Jiuge raw!
He never thought that the person who designed to frame Gu Jiuge was also his daughter! What kind of chaos has become of this backyard, he doesn't dare to think about it at all!
Seeing that Gu Shuyuan was really angry, the Gu Qinglai sisters didn't dare to say anything, so they could only go to the ancestral hall with tears in their eyes. The Li family and the Jiang family were distressed and angry, but they didn't dare to show it in front of Gu Shuyuan.
"Send him to the Punishment Department! As for this slave who eats inside and crawls outside, he will be punished with thirty rods! After disposing of the two Gu Qinglai sisters, Gu Shuyuan thought of the two people kneeling on the ground.
The two of them were so frightened that they almost fainted, but they couldn't even say a word of begging for mercy.
"Gu Zhong, you stay and check the yard of the eldest lady, don't have some snake and scorpion filth." After driving everyone away, Gu Shuyuan looked at Gu Zhong who was standing on the side and ordered in a deep voice.
Gu Zhong nodded and watched him leave.
Half an hour later, Gu Zhong came to Gu Jiuge. After saying that there was no danger, he turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly he remembered something, he lowered his head and pondered for a long time, looking like he wanted to say and stopped.
"Whatever you have to say, just say it." As smart as Gu Jiuge, how could he not see his thoughts.
"Miss, Song Lao Wu and Luo Yu were not caught by their subordinates at all. By the time I found them, they had been knocked unconscious and left in the back garden. Gu Zhong said in a deep voice.
Gu Jiuge couldn't help frowning when he heard this, raised his hand to wave him back, and then fell into deep thought.
Who will help her this time? not only wrote a note to tell her about Gu Qingxue's release of the snake, but also knocked Luo Yu and Song Lao Wu unconscious, all of which was too strange. And Gu Jiuge knows her current situation very well, due to the killing and framing of the Jiang family, her reputation in the royal city can be said to be extremely poor, everyone is eager to see her ugly, how can anyone help?
And this person must be not small, otherwise how can he come and go freely in the Prime Minister's Mansion without being discovered!
"Miss? The night is dark, and the slave and maid will wait for you to sleep. Seeing that Gu Jiuge's brows were tightly knit and he had been stunned, Huiqiu stepped forward and reminded softly.
When she said this, Gu Jiuge came back to his senses and really felt a little tired. She couldn't figure out something, she simply didn't think about it anymore, since that person intended to help her, it would naturally appear when the time was ripe.
Nothing was said all night.
Gu Jiuge also woke up the next day and heard that Gu Qinglai and the two of them were suffering a lot in the ancestral hall. Although it is now past the middle of winter, but the early spring is still very cold, the two of them just knelt on the ground all night, ugly left and right body is a little unbearable, when they found in the morning they had passed out.
Gu Jiuge didn't care about these, after all, what she had suffered in her previous life was far more violent than these. And now, she is just slowly returning the pain on her body.
In Penglai Courtyard, Jiang Shi has been guarding the bedside, and he was relieved after seeing Gu Qinglai wake up.
"Mother! I hate Gu Jiuge's slut to death! Gu Qinglai opened his eyes and saw Jiang's family, and tears suddenly welled up. Thinking of the grievances he had received in the past few days, he hated Gu Jiuge even more in his heart.
"Don't worry, my mother will definitely get justice for you!" Jiang wiped his tears when he heard this, and said very distressed when he held her hand.
"Mother, what do you want to do?" Seeing Jiang like this, Gu Qinglai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and only after recovering his senses did he look at her and ask in a low voice.
"It's the Lantern Festival in a few days, and this time, I'm going to make her look good!" Jiang Shi said through gritted teeth when he heard this, his eyes full of calculated cruelty. Gu Qinglai reacted immediately after hearing this, with a smug look on his face.
The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, which made people shudder.
"Miss, sir, please go to the warm pavilion. said that the second aunt had made the clothes for the Lantern Festival tomorrow, and let Miss choose it. On this day, Gu Jiuge was reading a book in the house when he heard Hua Chun talking while trotting.
Hearing the three words of the Lantern Festival, Gu Jiuge's hand flipping the pages couldn't help but freeze, and the memories of her previous life were overwhelming, making her a little breathless.
"Miss, let's go! The three young ladies have arrived, they are not good masters, what if there is only one of the worst left for the young lady in the end! Seeing that Gu Jiuge didn't seem to hear it, Hua Chun hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her to go out.
Gu Jiuge was troubled by her, and his mood was better, he looked at her with disgust, and followed her out helplessly. Seeing this, Huiqiu hurriedly pulled over the silver fox and followed.
When Gu Jiuge arrived at the Warm Pavilion, everyone had already gathered. Since the last time they knelt in the ancestral hall, Gu Qingxue and the others had been honest for two days, and when they saw Gu Jiuge coming, they glanced at her and consciously stood aside.
"The eldest lady is finally here, and she is waiting for you. You are a sister after all, if you don't come, they won't dare to choose first. As soon as Jiang saw Gu Jiuge coming in, he hurriedly greeted her, took her hand and said very affectionately.
She had a smile on her face, but between her words, she was accusing Gu Jiuge of taking Qiao to make her big and hanging them all here. Gu Jiuge naturally heard what she meant, withdrew his hand quietly, and strode to Gu Shuyuan's side to stand still.
"Ge'er, look at these clothes, which one do you like?" Gu Shuyuan really loves her, and there is a feeling of love between his eyebrows and eyes.
Gu Jiuge smiled lightly when he heard this, and then his eyes fell on the clothes held by the maids. The first two pieces are pure white, but the workmanship is extremely exquisite, and the embroidery on them is also lifelike, the atmosphere is luxurious but not ostentatious, which shows that it has taken a lot of thought. The last two are a little less colorful, one in pink and one in goose yellow.
Gu Jiuge's gaze looked at the four pieces of clothing, and when he glanced back, he saw that Gu Qinglai had been staring at the second piece of clothing, and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile. In terms of subtlety, these two clothes are similar. But the skirt of the second piece is specially embroidered with large blooming peony flowers, bright red lined with pure white, which is indescribably beautiful.
And this is what Gu Qinglai likes the most.
"Then this one." Gu Jiuge raised his hand and pointed at it, and landed steadily on the second piece of clothing.
Gu Qinglai frowned slightly when he saw this, and glanced at Gu Jiuge with resentment. Jiang Shi was also a little stunned, she remembered that Gu Jiuge's favorite thing in the past was jewelry, so she deliberately added a lot of pearl glass to the first white dress, who knew that Gu Jiuge had actually changed sex.
"Miss, it's all because the concubine is not in good health. This dress is custom-made according to the size of the second lady. This dress is made according to the eldest lady's preference, doesn't the eldest lady like it? Jiang Shi hurriedly stepped forward to stretch out the first white robe, looked at Gu Jiuge and asked with a chuckle.
Seeing this, the corners of Gu Jiuge's lips hooked slightly, this dress is decorated with so many pearl glasses, it looks pretty good at first glance, but if you look closely, it will inevitably be vulgar. In his previous life, the Jiang family was like this, and he deliberately made pure white clothes for her and Gu Qinglai. Gu Jiuge was already covered up, and he had no talent, wearing this white dress with heavy makeup on his face, which was indescribably weird and ugly.
On the contrary, it was Gu Qinglai, who was like a fairy descending to earth under her background, and I don't know how many people's eyes were lost.
Reborn in a lifetime, the Jiang family wanted to redo the old trick, but they didn't know that she was no longer the stupid and brainless Gu Jiuge.
Jiang Shi was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Gu Jiuge, but he still held on to the smile on his face, for fear that Gu Jiuge would see that something was wrong.
"If that's the case, so be it." After a long time, Gu Jiuge said with a chuckle.
