Gu Qinglai helped Mingyue trembling and walked back, but on the way back, she met Xuan Lang, who was about to leave, and endured the pain in her knees, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Third Highness!" Gu Qinglai called out delicately, Xuan Lang paused when he heard this, turned his head and saw Gu Qinglai staggering over.

"Third Highness, you also saw it today, the eldest sister is becoming more and more arrogant in the house, and she is often beating and scolding our sisters." Gu Qinglai covered his mouth and sobbed and said, and he choked up several times when he said that he was emotional, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"There's something strange about her." Xuan Lang said in a deep voice when he heard this, if Gu Jiuge knew that he was going to come to the door in the past, he would definitely be happily guarding the door to greet him, where would he be so cold and alienated as today.

"Okay, you can go back and rest." Gu Qinglai wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Xuan Lang say in a deep voice. Gu Qinglai couldn't help but be stunned, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that his brows were tightly locked, and he left with a thoughtful face, without a word of concern from beginning to end.

"Miss, let's go back first." Mingyue saw Gu Qinglai standing in place, stepped forward and whispered.

Gu Qinglai came back to his senses and nodded, but as soon as the two of them walked out a few steps, they heard a scream from the garden, as if it was Gu Qingxue's. Gu Qinglai was puzzled in his heart, and hurried over, but saw Gu Qingxue sitting on the ground with a pale face.

"It happened...... Yes! Gu Qinglai stepped forward to ask, but before he could finish his sentence, he screamed. Looking at the snakes spitting red letters all over the ground, Gu Qinglai was so frightened that he almost fainted.

Those snakes were slowly crawling over, and Gu Qinglai and the others were already so frightened that they softened their legs, so they only sat on the ground and screamed.

"What are you doing! Help me up! Gu Qinglai swallowed and spat hard, looked at Mingyue and shouted loudly. But now Mingyue was scared enough, and she was relieved by her roar, and stepped forward to help her up.

"Oops! Collided with the two young ladies, the little one damn the little one! As soon as Gu Qinglai gained a firm foothold, she heard a hurried voice, and she looked up to see a middle-aged man running over, followed by two young children.

"You let these snakes out? Damn it! Gu Qinglai roared angrily, eager to pull the man in front of him out and beat him up.

Song Lao Wu apologized again and again when he heard this, and together with the two boys, he grabbed all the snakes on the ground and put them in a bamboo basket. Seeing that those snakes were all caught, Gu Qinglai and Gu Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, but they still didn't dare to step forward.

"Don't be afraid, two young ladies, these are vegetable snakes, not poisonous. It was a small negligence on the part of Fang that allowed these vegetable snakes to escape. Song Lao Wu looked at Gu Qinglai, and the two bent down and explained again and again.

"How can there be such things in the house! What if it hurts someone! Gu Qinglai took a deep breath, straightened his back, looked at Song Lao Wu and scolded angrily.

"The third aunt likes to eat snake soup, so we will send some in regularly. However, they are really not poisonous, and the two young ladies can rest assured. Song Lao Wu hurriedly said when he heard this, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. The two in front of him are both young ladies from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and if something goes wrong, his head can't afford it.

Gu Qingxue couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, she didn't know that the Li family still had this habit.

"Okay, okay, let's go, it's crazy to look at these things." Gu Qingxue didn't think much about it, and waved his hand again and again to let him leave quickly. As long as she thought of Fang Cai's scene, she felt her scalp tingle.

"Wait!" As soon as Song Lao Wu turned around, he heard Gu Qinglai's voice behind him, and turned back with doubts.

"Does the young lady have any other orders?" Song Lao Wu arched his hand and asked.

"All your snakes there are non-venomous?" Gu Qinglai asked in a deep voice, as soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned, and Song Lao Wu didn't expect why she, a boudoir lady, would ask these questions.

"Naturally not, some are poisonous, and a bite will give you half a life. I don't know what the young lady is asking for this? Song Lao Wu thought for a while and then bowed his head and replied.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about snake soup to make up for my body, so just ask. Where you live, I can send you some in when the time comes. Gu Qinglai said in a deep voice, as if he was deliberately covering up something.

"The small one is in the east of the city, and the young lady will know after a little inquiry. If it's nothing, the little one will retire first. Song Lao Wu didn't notice anything, and left after saying it.

It wasn't until Song Lao Wu walked away that Gu Qingxue stepped forward.

"The second sister asked what this is for, what is so good about that thing, I lost my appetite when I saw it." Gu Qingxue said with disgust, she really couldn't figure out why Gu Qinglai asked this.

"It's really scary to look at, but I'm afraid it's even more poisonous." Hearing this, the corners of Gu Qinglai's mouth rose slightly, and there was a calculating look between his eyebrows. Gu Qingxue became more and more confused when she heard this, and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Fourth sister, come here." Gu Qinglai stretched out his hand to beckon her to him, leaned over and whispered something in her ear. After listening to her words, Gu Qingxue's face showed an excited look.

"It's still the second sister who is smart!" Gu Qingxue said very happily, her eyes full of excitement that could not be hidden.

"This is a good opportunity, the fourth sister should not miss it in vain." Gu Qinglai said with a chuckle when she heard this, Gu Qingxue nodded again and again, went up and grabbed Gu Qinglai's arm, and the two sisters left very closely.

In the twilight, a person came to Song Lao Wu's shop in the east of the city, she covered her face with a light veil to cover her face, but she knew that she was from a big family. At that time, Song Lao Wu was just about to close the shop, and when he saw her coming, he welcomed people in after hesitation.

"What is the reason why this girl has come here today?" Song Lao Wu couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he didn't dare to provoke her at will.

"Take these silver treasurers Song, send some poisonous snakes to the courtyard of the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight, and I will wait for the Song shopkeeper at the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time." The man placed a purse full of silver on the table, looked at him and whispered.

Song Lao Wu was half frightened to death when he heard this, how dare he do such a thing? If something happens to the young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, then wouldn't he invite death?

"This nobleman, please raise your noble hand and let go of the small one, you don't dare to do such a thing!" Song Lao Wu was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and said anxiously.

"The shopkeeper is confused, I am the eldest lady's personal maid, these are the orders of the eldest lady, and I don't want you to kill people and set fires, what don't you dare to do. If I'm not mistaken, Shopkeeper Song's business should be sluggish, and this silver is enough for you to make a living for a year. The visitor chuckled and said, Song Lao Wu was a little moved by what she said, looking at the purse on the table, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

"At the end of the day tonight, at the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the shopkeeper should not be mistaken." Seeing this, the visitor was very satisfied and said, and then left.

She went out and looked around, and hurriedly left, completely unaware of the flashing of a tall figure not far away.

In the Drinking Song Garden, Gu Jiuge is practicing calligraphy, in her previous life, her favorite thing is to practice calligraphy, self-cultivation, and the most important thing is that Xuan Lang likes it. Because Xuan Lang always said that she had no talent, because of his words, Gu Jiuge practiced day and night. But when she brought the results of her hard work to Xuan Lang, he was praising Gu Qinglai's dancing style.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiuge's wrist slammed, and the ink dripped down, soaking through the paper.

"Miss, what's the matter?" Seeing her in a daze, Huiqiu put the cloak in her hand over her, and then asked softly.

Gu Jiuge came back to his senses when he heard this, and shook his head gently.

"Yikes! What people! There was an exclamation from outside the door, Gu Jiuge frowned slightly, and hurriedly went out.

The moon is bright and clean, reflecting the clear light all over the ground. Gu Jiuge raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't see anything, and when he turned his head slightly, he saw a sharp arrow stuck in the wooden pillar in front of him.

Gu Jiuge was slightly shocked, and hurriedly pulled out the sharp arrow and took off the paper on it. Unfolded it, his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"What time is it?" Gu Jiu Ge asked in a deep voice.

"Miss, it's almost time." Hua Chun said stunned.

"Huiqiu, I haven't played chess with my dad in a while, you go and invite my dad over." Gu Jiuge folded the letterhead and put it close to him, and then looked at Huiqiu and said softly. Although Huiqiu didn't know why she wanted to play chess with Gu Shuyuan on a whim, she still obediently went to invite.

Over there, Gu Shuyuan saw that Gu Jiuge sent someone to invite, and he was also rarely interested, and followed Huiqiu to the Drinking Song Garden.

"You're in the mood today, why did you think of playing chess with your father." When Gu Shuyuan entered the door, he saw that Gu Jiuge had already set up the chessboard, and said with great relief. In the past, Gu Jiuge always avoided him, but now that he was so close to him, he was naturally happy.

For this daughter, he always tried his best to love him. Not for anything else, just because she is the child of herself and Zhao Lin. In Gu Shuyuan's eyes, Gu Jiuge is far more important than the other daughters.

"I can't sleep, Daddy won't blame me." Gu Jiu Ge said with a chuckle, and stepped forward to help Gu Shuyuan to sit down on the soft couch. Gu Shuyuan rubbed her head very lovingly when she saw this, and the father and daughter sat opposite each other, reflecting the warm yellow candlelight, with a kind of gentleness that had been quiet for years.

Looking at Gu Shuyuan, who was sitting opposite, Gu Jiuge couldn't help but feel a sour nose. If she had been smarter in her previous life, Gu Shuyuan would not have died tragically. This man who loved her with his life was finally pushed into the boundless abyss by her own hands.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Gu Jiuge's face was not good, Gu Shuyuan asked with some concern.

"It's nothing, just a little trance. In the past, my daughter was too unfilial, and she did many things that made her father sad. Gu Jiuge shook his head and said, his tone was so thick with guilt and sadness that he couldn't dissolve.
