Chapter 29: Assassination of the Great Lady

The days of summer are particularly long, Gong Wumian slept in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, the sun had not yet set, and Mei Qin, who was beside the eldest lady, came to inform him that he was going to the old lady for a reunion dinner for dinner.

Gong Wumian knew that the so-called reunion dinner was just a show, and the family was not in harmony.

Gong Wumian leaned up on a harmless little face, and painted a little elegant makeup, but Xiao Yu's face couldn't hide things, and he looked preoccupied.

"A-Niang, you look like this, don't you want to see jackals, tigers and leopards." The smile on Gong Wumian's lips became stronger and stronger, and he even joked with A-Niang.

Xiao Yu looked at her, and suddenly felt a lot more stable, and helped to straighten out her dress by the way.

Later, the mother and daughter ordered two maids and walked to the old lady's yard.

Pass through the Pine Garden.

Gong Wumian walked calmly, but there were mixed feelings in his heart.

Wait, wait, and I'll see Big Brother again in a few days.

The old lady lives in the large courtyard on the west side of the house, called Xin'an Hall, the overall grace and elegance, all of which show the noble status in the Xinguo Mansion.

When Gong Wumian and Xiao Yu arrived, there was a peaceful atmosphere in the flower hall.

The old lady pursed her lips and chuckled, and Gong Jinzhi sat upright next to the old lady, but her face was expressionless and she didn't say a word.

Next to it is the second prince of the womb Wuyan, and Gong Wushuang is a mother and sibling, with a lively temperament, a dusty servant, thinking that he has just returned home, and is talking about the interesting things he encountered outside.

The position that was supposed to be the eldest lady was vacant, and Yu Rongyin had not yet arrived.

Gong Wushuang was wearing a white dress, his face was full of years of quietness, and at the moment he was quietly listening to his brother telling interesting stories, his eyes were full of worship, and from time to time he also smiled lightly with the old lady covering her mouth, so she looked gentle and virtuous.

Aunt Li looked unwilling, Xu had not yet come out of the previous matter, but Gong Wufang, who was sitting next to her, was happily picking a grape.

Aunt Wei looked around from time to time, so she saw the mother and daughter of the Xiaoyu family coming over for the first time, but she didn't say anything, just nodded, and Gong Wuwu, who was sitting next to her, lowered her head and wrung her hands crampedly.

Aunt Su always stared at the old lady's teacup, the old lady took a sip, she personally poured it full, and the palace Wushu on one side took the fan to fan the wind from time to time, and always fanned the palace Wushuang twice intentionally or unintentionally, and the two looked at each other tacitly and smiled.

Aunt Bai, who hadn't shown up for a long time, also came, holding her stomach with both hands, and her eyes looked at the palace from time to time.

This Aunt Bai didn't have much contact with her in her previous life, and later died of a blood collapse, adults and children were not saved, just an aunt who didn't live long, she wouldn't take it to heart.

There are two vacant seats next to Aunt Bai, which I think are reserved for her and A-Niang.

Looking at it this way, everyone has arranged it, but only the eldest brother who is bent on planning for him is missing-Gong Wuxian.

As soon as the mother and daughter entered the house, everyone looked at them together.

Gong Wushuang immediately got up, with a smile on his face: "Auntie, sister, come and sit down, I'm waiting for you." ”

Although she looked waiting, her words reminded everyone that they were late, so obvious, but in her previous life, she regarded this face as a relative.

Gong Wumian looked at the empty position and replied very obediently: "The eldest lady is still in the future, and Mian'er doesn't dare to make a mistake." ”

Sure enough, Gong Wushuang's smile froze on his face, and then he looked aggrieved, Gong Wuya glanced at Gong Wumian, and reached out to pull his sister back to the chair.

Xiao Yu bowed: "The concubine is to ask the old lady for peace." ”

Gong Wumian followed: "Mian'er greets grandmother." ”

The old lady seemed to be in a good mood and nodded: "Okay, sit down." ”

Gong Wufang, who was holding the grapes, put on an exaggerated smile in the spirit of slapping the horse: "It's been a long time since I've had a reunion dinner, thank you, grandmother." ”

Gong Wumian and Xiao Yu sat down separately, and when they heard this, they said without saltiness: "The eldest brother has not yet decided on the return date, and I don't know what kind of reunion dinner the third sister ate." ”

Gong Wuxian stood up suddenly, his fingers poked into the flesh of the grapes, and the grape skin that had been peeled for a long time was considered white, tilting his head angrily, and he couldn't remember the words of scolding for a while, so he had to stare angrily, eager to stare out of a hole in Gong Wumian's body.

The dazzling silver-haired hairpin swayed and swayed.

This hairpin...... Gong Wumian frowned, always feeling familiar.

Xiao Yu was under the table, pulled Gong Wumian's dress, and motioned her not to say anything, so as not to upset the old lady.

Aunt Bai, who was sitting on the side, naturally saw Xiao Yu's movements, and her eyes moved: "The eldest prince and Mr. Yang went to the field to procure, and it has been a few days since they sent a letter to their families, so they must be back soon." ”

"The eldest brother was ordered to go out to procure, and his words and deeds represent his father, who is the Xinguo Mansion, and he is the eldest son in the family, inheriting his father's high hopes, and the day he returns, he will also be the face of our Xinguo Mansion." Gong Wumian's expression eased, and as soon as she heard it, she heard that Aunt Bai wanted to provoke the relationship between her eldest brother and her father, and the child had not yet been born, so she wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so it seemed that she was going to get to know this Aunt Bai again.

Aunt Bai shut up, she never thought that she had a posture of drawing a knife for her eldest brother and younger sister before, but in a blink of an eye, it became righteous and awe-inspiring, and she was caught off guard when she switched to a fast start.

Gong Jinzhi said at the right time: "Okay, it's just a home-cooked meal, and if you have time to accompany your grandmother in the future, you will be filial to your father." ”

There is no mention of the palace without a martyr, which makes people confused about his attitude.

Gong Wuxian answered and sat down unwillingly, looking at Gong Wumian with a pair of eyes, as if he had been quenched with poison, and said with pity: "It seems that it is different to have a backer, the second sister has only been out for more than ten days, and she has such an opportunity, but I heard that the second sister is bold and reckless, and the regent is not to blame." ”

Gong Wumian: "I don't know who the third sister listened to?" Father, Mian'er felt that it was better to pinch the source, and they all said that the trouble came from the mouth, there were more long-tongued women in the house, and they might cause some trouble in the future, and it would affect the mansion, and the eldest brother would not be busy working alone in vain. ”

Aunt Li originally drank tea leisurely, but immediately choked: "Ahem, the important thing is ...... Old lady, look at this second lady now that she has no personal maid, her face is a lot haggard, and now she has returned to Lanyuan, she must be anxious and has no handy maid, so annoying people's pity, don't you feel distressed? ”

The words reminded the old lady of a scene in the ancestral hall, it seems that this girl already knew Xiaolian's pretense at that time, and her face was relieved: "Don't you say that I also want to give the second girl, red dyeing, Mei Ying." ”

Two maids walked out.

"The two of you will go to serve the second lady in the future."

These two maids Gong Wumian recognized, Hongzhan is the second-class maid next to the old lady, Mei Ying is the second-class maid next to the eldest lady, this is a person who has an eyeliner, it stands to reason that the second-class maid who came out of the old lady and the eldest lady's house will naturally be promoted to a higher level when she arrives in her room, but Gong Wumian has to keep the position of a first-class maid, because she has a more suitable candidate in her heart.

Gong Wumian pretended not to understand: "Grandmother, who were the two of them before?" ”

The old lady explained: "Hongran and Mei Qing are both second-class maids, and their eyesight is extremely expensive on weekdays. ”

Gong Wumian said with an understanding look: "Since grandmother said this, Mian'er doesn't dare to refute, in the future, they will be the second-class maids of Lanyuan, Mian'er thanked her grandmother, and the eldest lady rewarded her." ”

The old lady was stunned, it turned out that she was asking what level these two people would give in the future, but they were just two maids, so they went with her, and they didn't say anything.

At this time, a soft and weak voice sounded in the room, and Gong Wushuang said: "Shuang'er remembers that grandmother is going to give the second sister a good knife, but the granddaughter helps the second sister remember it." ”

"How can you forget" As soon as the old lady heard about the knife, her face couldn't stop the joy, and she took out the knife that had been prepared from her sleeve, and her eyes were slightly red for a moment: "This knife is your grandfather's favorite very much." ”

Gong Wumian got up from the chair, knelt down in front of the old lady, and put his hands over his head: "Mian'er thanked Grandmother." ”

The old lady nodded, and after the scene in the ancestral hall, she was a little more kind to Gong Wumian's granddaughter.

"Grandmother rest assured, since it is my grandfather's knife, Mian'er will never leave her body, and the knife is there." Gong Wumian, who took the knife, stood up.

At this moment, the graceful and luxurious eldest lady Yu Rongyin walked in from outside: "The concubine will drink the medicine first, it's too late, please forgive the old lady." ”

The old lady was just about to speak, her eyes and the palace were sleepless, but the next moment, her complexion changed abruptly.

I saw Gong Wumian pull out the knife suddenly, the blade was glowing with cold light, and the blade was more like a demon, waiting to devour the blood.

"Big lady." Her thin lips opened lightly, and a pair of cold eyes looked directly at Yu Rongyin, and the scenes of her previous life struck again.

The three words came out of her mouth, without a trace of temperature, and it seemed to be very icy.

Everyone was stunned, looked at the eldest lady in unison, and then turned their heads to look at Gong Wumian, not knowing what this cry meant.

"Huh!" Before everyone could react, Gong Wumian's feet moved, and he rushed out with a knife in his hand without thinking, and quickly stabbed at Yu Rongyin.

The knife was impartial, and it was heading towards Yu Rongyin's heart, and everyone's faces changed color suddenly.

Gong Jin slapped the table and stood up, with an angry face: "Stop!" ”

"Sleep!" Xiao Yu stood up suddenly, his face suddenly lost blood, his eyes turned dark, and he fainted.

"Ahh Everyone screamed and quickly got up, and stayed away from the land of right and wrong without hesitation.

"Mother!" Gong Wushuang and Gong Wuya sang in unison, Gong Wushuang was so frightened that he burst into tears for a while, and Gong Wuya rushed out: "Look for death!" ”

But he only had time to touch Gong Wumian's skirt.

It's closer to Yu Rongyin, it's closer! Gong Wumian's hand holding the knife tightened, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Ahh Yu Rongyin didn't expect Gong Wumian to suddenly assassinate her!
