Chapter 37: Losing face
The five carriages parked at the gate of the mansion were the ones who came from Cangfu to give the dowry.
Gong Wumian Qi knot, this is to let her choose between the marriage contract and the blood jade spirit snake, if it is an ordinary girl's family, she must choose the former, but she did not hesitate to choose the latter.
If this matter is to come forward as a prince, it will be easier to do, although it will be true, no one dares to object, but if it comes out of her mouth, it is not in the eyes of the two parents, it is for the great unfilial piety, and no one in Kyoto will dare to come to the door to propose marriage in the future.
But compared with the previous life, I don't know how much better this result is.
As soon as she approached the carriage, she alarmed the little girl in Cangfu who was waiting here, and the little girl and the coachman in the five carriages turned their heads to look at her, showing the appearance of Amitabha Buddha, who will wait from morning to night for the dowry, these two young ladies can be regarded as back.
However, as soon as the subordinate guarding the door saw her, his whole voice trembled: "Second, Miss Two......" It seems that she was surprised that she could come back.
As soon as Gong Wumian entered the Yi Gate, he heard a sonorous and powerful voice coming from the courtyard: "The servant saw with his own eyes that the regent threw the second lady into a mass grave, master, madam, second miss, she's really gone." ”
As soon as his voice fell, all of a sudden, there was a maid crying in the courtyard, and I didn't know that I thought it was really dead.
A voice in a hurry blurted out: "Enough, grandma is a bear, I don't believe it." ”
Gong Wumian's originally angry face suddenly burst into a warm smile, yes, after being reborn, she hadn't had a chance to hear Cang Li speak, and she had forgotten that this man who looked mature and steady on the surface would be full of foul words in a hurry, probably because there were more people in contact with the market, and she was taught by words and deeds.
Because of this habit, Cang Mu said that he didn't know how many times, but he couldn't change it, those mantras seemed to take root in his head, and he came and went, and almost everyone in Kyoto knew that he liked to speak foul words but had no malice.
She cleared her throat, not loud or small, enough to catch everyone's attention.
"Sleep!" Cang Li subconsciously shouted, and was a little embarrassed, before going out, his mother specially told him not to speak rudely, and I don't know if she heard it.
The people who fell to their knees and wept all turned their heads together, and gasped like a ghost, it was the maids of Orchid Garden.
Yes, she was taken away by the regent in full view, and at that time, she was dying in the eyes of others when she broke her tendons, plus the butler's oil and vinegar, everyone realized that she had offended the regent, and was atrocious by the regent, she should have died thoroughly, I never expected her to come back.
Gong Wumian raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't see the eldest brother, and locked his eyes on the body of the eldest lady Yu Rongyin not far away, and saw her rubbing her eyes with her hands from time to time, as if she was grieving, her eyes were red and swollen, but she couldn't squeeze out a tear anyway.
When the eldest lady saw that it was her who came back, her eyes immediately widened, and her face was full of incredulity: "Why did you come back ......"?
A sentence was just about to blurt out, but found that the old man had already greeted him, and the eldest lady hurriedly closed her mouth, and also walked towards her with a roar, and by the way, he glanced at the little guy who was kneeling on the ground, as if he blamed him for not doing things well.
The little guy's face was bloodless, he really couldn't figure out what was going on, a moment ago he announced that she was dead, and now she appeared in front of everyone, making what he said a lie, but how could he come back? For a while, his face was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
Gong Jinzhi walked towards Gong Wumian, leaning on his body, although he frowned, but his eyes were full of surprise, looking at the muslin wrapped in her hand, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, he stretched out his hand to comfort her like a loving father, but his brows were locked deeper, and he raised his hand in an instant and slapped him hard: "I believe that the face of the Duke of the Kingdom has been lost by you!" ”
Then he flicked his sleeves angrily, and turned around indifferently to apologize to Cang Li: "Please go to the side hall and wait." ”
Cang Li naturally didn't want to leave, if he usually stood like a clay sculpture, but at this time he didn't make an elbow, because he remembered the important things he came to today, Xin Guogong was his future father-in-law, and his father-in-law opened his mouth, how could he refute face, so he had to follow his subordinates to the side hall, and when he left, he didn't forget to nod to Gong Wumian, signaling that everything had him.
Gong Wumian consciously ignored it, but he was a little stunned by his father's slap, originally thought that his father was referring to her coming back so late from a woman who had not left the cabinet, but when he saw his gaze skimming the purple shirt on her body, he suddenly realized.
The man's gown, the light is a little dim, the color of this gown is a little unrecognizable for a while, and my father secretly said that she ruined the family style.
She understood, and someone understood.
The eldest lady covered her mouth in surprise, as if she had discovered something terrible, but she also pretended to help: "If you don't come soon, hurry up and take the second girl to change the eldest son's robe on her body." ”
For a while, her return to the house was not important, but the long gown she was wearing became the focus of everyone's discussion, and Gong Wumian silently took out the golden needle.
The little maid who was kneeling on the ground got up and ran to Gong Wumian's side, circled her left and right three times, and then shouted excitedly, unable to hide her excitement: "Big lady, this caftan is obviously much longer than the eldest son's usual gown, it can't be the eldest son's, the slave understands, the second lady can come back from the mass grave, she basically met the wild man in the mass grave, and even did that kind of unsightly thing with the wild man." ”
Gong Wumian's fierce gaze was fixed on the face of this little maid, this little guy she recognized, it was a dog that the eldest lady often released to bite people, the slander of the previous life and the hatred of this life, the unwillingness of the two lives broke out, and he suddenly shot out, and slapped the little guy in the face accurately.
In front of a babbling little guy, her anger didn't need to be concealed at all.
"You are the eldest lady's right-hand man, you must have followed me on the orders of the eldest lady and protected me thoroughly, but as soon as you came back, you told everyone that I was dead, and now you see me coming back and try your best to ruin my reputation, are you destroying my relationship with the eldest lady or do you have other plans!"
The little guy's face turned from red to blue and purple, and he knelt on the ground, struggling hard: "...... Big lady, save the minions, save the minions......"
Gong Wumian raised her eyes to look at the eldest lady, hum, a raccoon dog, when the two of them looked at each other, the golden needle in her hand had fallen on the top of the little girl's head, one forced, the little girl had no time to react, and the person had fallen to the ground and there was no sound.
The eldest lady screamed and took two steps back and hid behind the master, Gong Jinzhi motioned for someone to come forward to check, and got the conclusion that the person had lost his breath, and immediately became angry: "Come on, tie up this evil obstacle for me, dare to disregard people's lives, what else can't you do!" ”
Gong Wumian's gaze swept over everyone, and there was a look in his eyes who dared to step forward to try, and no one dared to take a step for a while.
"Father, is this trying to kill relatives in righteousness?" She asked her father sonorously: "Father believed that little guy's words, and felt that the long shirt on my body had lost your face and disgraced the Xinguo Mansion, right?" ”
Whether it is in the past life or in this life, the father believes in the big lady and the little girl, but he just refuses to believe in her daughter.
"Heh-" She sneered: "Mian'er thinks that her father still carefully identifies this long robe, if the regent knows that he was slandered as a wild man by the little guy next to the eldest lady, and gave him the reputation of a gangster girl in a mass grave, what would he think, but my father only believed in the words of a little guy, and indiscriminately wanted to kill his relatives in righteousness, but I killed this little guy, obviously for my father, for the sake of the Xinguo Mansion, my father never believed me, does my father really think that when the regent hears about it tomorrow, Will the Shinkoku Mansion still stand unharmed in Kyoto? ”
Gong Jinzhi motioned to the person holding the lamp to approach the cheongsam, and sure enough, he saw the purple cheongsam clearly, and the only one who could wear the purple caftan in Qingshu Country was the regent!
He looked at his second daughter with a shocked and complicated expression, and was even more shocked by what she said.
He re-examines this daughter, but finds that she has never believed her, as she said, is she disappointed in him as a father?
Gong Wumian tilted his head and knelt on the ground, his voice was crying: "Big lady, you love Mian'er the most, you tell Mian'er, did Mian'er do something wrong?" Isn't this guy damned? Or in the eyes of my father and eldest lady, my concubine daughter is not as important as a little girl, and she deserves to be compensated for him? ”
"If that's the case, then it's better to die!"
Gong Wumian said and pulled off the hairpin on his head and was about to pierce it towards his heart, and a pair of beautiful eyes squeezed out two tears, I saw pity.
"Second sister, don't do stupid things." Gong Wushuang came out of nowhere and went straight to Gong Wushuang.
Gong Wumian's eyes tightened imperceptibly, and she knew that the mother and daughter were acting one by one, and neither of them was missing.
Now that Gong Wushuang's pear blossoms are rushing over with rain, he should want to play a deep sisterhood, but a pair of eyes looked at his father intentionally or unintentionally, staring closely at his father's every look.
It turned out that he wanted to redeem the image of a good daughter in his father's heart, Gong Wumian snorted coldly in his heart, as the saying goes, he can't bear the wolf if he can't bear the child, since he wants to act in front of her, then pay the price.
She struggled violently a few more times, and in the eyes of outsiders, she was greatly stimulated.
It's desperate enough to think about it, and finally came back from Qingxin Nunnery, got rid of the charge of murder, and was named a poison doctor because he saved the regent, but he was abolished by the regent, thinking that he offended the regent, and it is estimated that there will be no chance to turn over, and now he is not trusted by his father, and he is on the verge of collapse.
"Ahh Ahh
With her movements, Gong Wushuang's face turned pale in an instant, and he let out a scream that was higher than a voice, and the scene where Gong Wumian wiped her tears in turn did not appear, but the hairpin tied in his hand deepened a little, and he was very distressed, and he couldn't say a word when he pounced.
"Sister...... Sister? Gong Wumian was flustered as if he had just seen that the person who came was his sister, and he pulled out the hairpin and threw it to the ground.
In the future, this hand will be crippled even if it does not leave a scar.
Gong Wushuang screamed again, she always felt that Gong Wumian was deliberate, but there was something more important at the moment, and she understood that the opportunity could not be missed, and she endured the pain: "Sister, sister beg, don't do stupid things, no matter what happens, you still have your sister, mother, and father." ”
What a sincere call, Gong Wumian was unmoved in his heart, and his heart was cold.
She still remembered very clearly that it was this hypocritical woman who wanted her to eat her eyes, who would have thought that this seemingly beautiful and delicate woman in front of her, who looked like a white lotus, was so insidious and vicious.
"Father's ......"
Gong Wushuang let out a coquettish cry, and Gong Wumian let go of her very cooperatively, lest the more he looked at her, the more evil he would make in his stomach.
Gong Wushuang held the waste hand in front of his father step by step, his teeth couldn't stand the chattering, but he still couldn't stop kowtowing, Chu Chu was pitiful: "Father, daughter, daughter and sister have been in deep love since childhood, beg, beg father to spare sister, daughter willing, willing to substitute for sister, beg father not to be angry......"
Gong Wumian silently counted five in his heart, and sure enough, Gong Wushuang's body fell softly, and he also very skillfully avoided a fallen leaf.
Gong Jin's hand quickly picked up the eldest daughter: "Go to the side hall and ask the second aunt to ......"
