When Gui Mingyue was at a loss, full of weakness and grief, someone suddenly touched her in the back and stuffed a small brocade box into her hand. When Gui Mingyue looked back again, the person was gone.

Gui Mingyue looked puzzled, and didn't have the heart to think about it, so she opened the brocade box in her hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

One of Jin Qi'er's hands was pulled out, and as the sharp blade in the hand of the executioner's mother-in-law approached, Jin Qi'er gritted her teeth and closed her eyes tightly, just waiting for the heart-rending pain.

With the "Smack! There was a crisp sound, and then I heard a "bang" and the handle of the knife hit the ground, and the mother-in-law who was in charge of the execution "whined" and covered her cheek with one hand, and the other hand was anxious to cover her feet, crying loudly in pain.

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around, it's the other way around! "Mrs. Ji trembled angrily, is this Gui clan crazy!

"The eldest lady is angry slowly, you want to be fined Jin'er, after all, because you haven't seen the night pearl in my treasury with your own eyes," Gui Mingyue raised the box in his hand and said, "Look, what is this?" ”

In the box was a night pearl larger than a fist, which was radiating a brilliant glow in this tense night.

It's truly unparalleled!

"Wow, there really is such a rare night pearl!" The eyes of the aunts in the back were straight, and they couldn't help but exclaim.

"This, this, impossible, I obviously ......" Hongluan in Gui Mingyue's courtyard couldn't help but exclaim, and then consciously covered her mouth quickly, fortunately, she had been quietly hiding in the corner to watch the excitement, and it was not very eye-catching.

Hongluan quietly looked around, and when he saw that no one was looking, he felt a little more at ease, and took advantage of no one's attention, so he slipped out gently. She obviously stole the pearl this night and hid it in a place where no one knows, how could it get into the hands of the young grandmother? Thinking about it in my heart, I couldn't help but sweat again.

When Mrs. Ji saw this bright night pearl, she couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

These useless minions really raised them for nothing, and in a place like the West Courtyard, they can't even steal a night pearl!

With this night pearl, what the eldest lady said, she couldn't slap her face, so she had to let Jin Qi'er go with hatred. I had been preparing for tonight's events for so long in advance, but I didn't expect that the bamboo basket would be empty, and I would lose face in front of those nobles in the capital, adding a few laughing stocks to them after tea and dinner.

It seems that to deal with this tricky and arrogant couple, you have to come to the dark.

"Hey, it's all gone, it's all gone!" When several aunts saw that this good show ended so hastily, they yawned and left boringly.

Gui Mingyue has experienced this half-night battle, and she is already exhausted. Gui Mingyue sent the frightened Jin Qi'er to sleep, and she entered the house accompanied by her eldest sister Gui Jingxue, and the two sisters sat at the table and were speechless for a long time.

"Young grandma, someone outside the courtyard came to report, saying that the eldest young master was left overnight by the saint, and he will probably return tomorrow, so let you rest quickly." It was the second-class maid Suo'er who came in to pass the news, and the two of them were the two of them after the eldest lady left, and then they entered the warehouse, preparing to take stock of the things in the warehouse overnight.

"Then, Yue'er, you should rest quickly." Gui Jingxue knew that she had a tough battle to fight tomorrow.

"Eldest sister, I want you to sleep with me." Gui Mingyue had a thick nasal voice, and in the face of her relatives, she couldn't help but feel a little weak, because after tomorrow, in this Hou Mansion, she was no longer allowed to have half a trace of weakness.

Gui Jingxue sighed, no one in their family could resist the coquettishness of their sister, not even her.

"Okay, you wipe your face first, and then go to bed." Gui Jingxue looked at her lying on the bed, listless, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

Taking the handkerchief in Grandma Jiang's hand, Gui Jingxue twisted Gui Mingyue and wiped it herself.

"And rub the rose dew." Gui Mingyue hummed and chirped.

"Who is this coquettish idiot? In front of that Mrs. Hou, how can you not know that you are softer and more careful, so hard-hitting, have you ever touched someone? This is the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion, if you are bullied, a portal like ours, where will I go to support you! Gui Jingxue couldn't help but scolded bitterly.

"Oh, eldest sister, aren't you here to support Yue'er today?" Gui Mingyue's best thing is to get inches, and as she spoke, she stepped forward and hugged Gui Jingxue's waist, muttering, "Eldest sister, hurry up, your face is going to dry......"

"It's true, the night in this Hou Mansion is really uncomfortable, dry and cold, na! Wipe it down and go to sleep. As she spoke, Gui Jingxue unconsciously started to wipe her evenly.

"Grandma Jiang, you step down, take someone to guard outside the warehouse, and the idle people can't get close!" Gui Jingxue commanded.

"Yes, Miss." Grandma Jiang took the order to go out, hey, the eldest lady is dignified and generous, and she is also sitting upright when she enters the house. My young grandmother is okay in front of outsiders, she looks quite capable of bluffing, especially when she doesn't smile, she has a great sense of majesty.

But as soon as you get back to your room, that'...... It's hard to put into words.

It's like a different person, you want to stand and not stand, you want to sit and not sit, and you love to be coquettish to her and that girl......

Now that such a thing has happened in the courtyard, although the night pearl finally came into the hands of the young grandmother, but the young grandmother in the prime of the day neglected to discipline those flowery maids, and the cattiness in it was related to them.

On the second day, in the early morning, the silver pendant and the tortoiseshell came to the young grandmother with dark green eyes and a serious face.

Gui Mingyue was under the service of Jin Qi'er, washing and dressing.

"There's a lot missing." Before the two of them could speak, Gui Mingyue said lightly.

"Young grandma, how do you know?" Tortoiseshell asked in surprise, it was indeed missing possessions, but fortunately the box containing the silver ticket box and the box containing the Kunshan white jade was placed in the dark compartment.

"Tell me, what's missing?"

"Young grandma, there are a total of two five-song plum blossom-shaped jade cups, two lotus leaves and begonia silver candlesticks, a Ruyi Yuntou gold cup, seven gold ingots, two pearls, and about a handful ......of cat's eye gems" After speaking, the silver pendant's face was even more gray, and he had scolded himself thousands of times in his heart.

Gui Mingyue knew that Yinshen'er often went to the inspection warehouse in Su Rili, and she would go too. The missing things are probably not stolen in a day, they must have accumulated over time, making it difficult for her and the silver pendant to find.

"Tell me to go down, the West Courtyard is closed today, and no one outside is allowed to come in except for the eldest young master; The people inside, except for the eldest sister, are not allowed to go out. Also," Gui Mingyue said slowly: "Let all the subordinates go to the courtyard immediately and wait." ”

"Yes, young grandma!" Silver pendant said solemnly.

"Eldest sister, let's go have breakfast." After Gui Mingyue finished washing, she said softly to Gui Jingxue.

"Okay."

"Tell them, don't make a sound, otherwise, I'll pull out his tongue," Gui Mingyue took the eldest sister's hand, and when she walked out of the door, she said in a voice that happened to be heard by the chattering people in the courtyard: "They should also know that I faced the eldest lady last night, and my temperament is like this, whoever dares to touch my brow again today, I will first use his net worth and life to eliminate my evil breath!" ”

At the end of the day, Gui Mingyue's voice already contained a strong killing intent.

They all heard the rumors, and some people saw it with their own eyes, knowing that the young grandmother and the eldest lady had torn their faces, and according to the ruthlessness of the eldest lady, they failed to put the eldest young grandmother and the place to death, which shows that the eldest and young grandmother is not as ignorant and easy to talk about as in Su Ri.

Listening to her vicious words again, these slaves, who were themselves fierce and inward-looking, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, were so frightened that they immediately silenced, and they didn't dare to gasp.

The Gui Mingyue sisters had breakfast leisurely in the dining room, and after they finished eating, they ordered Jin Qi'er to cook Longjing new tea.

At this time, Ji Yunyi hurriedly strode back. When he came in, he grabbed Gui Mingyue's hand and looked at it anxiously.

"Yue'er, are you okay, did the eldest lady do anything to you last night?" When Ji Yunyi mentioned the eldest lady, a trace of ruthlessness burst out of his eyes.

"She didn't do anything to me, I have to thank you for sending me the Night Pearl......" Gui Mingyue said slowly.

"You know everything?" Ji Yunyi's eyes lit up.

This night pearl is not her own, Gui Mingyue recognized it at a glance, fortunately, Lian and Second Mrs. Ji only heard about it, and they didn't see their own one on the bright side, so they didn't know that this night pearl was bigger than their own, and it was more dazzling.

Speaking of which, the entire Dadong Dynasty, except for the palace, is estimated to be able to have such a rare treasure as the Wu family.

And whether it is the palace or the Wu family, they all have a relationship with Ji Yunyi that cannot be underestimated.

This point, Gui Mingyue guessed correctly, that night Ji Yunyi received a report from the person sent by Ji Yunlang in the palace, when even if he pleaded with the saint, and learned that the Queen Mother also happened to have such a night pearl, the Queen Mother naturally didn't say a word, and handed over the night pearl to the emperor.

Then Ouchi's guards brought the Night Pearl to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion unnoticed, and finally handed it over to Gui Mingyue in time.

It's no wonder that as soon as he turned around, the person disappeared, and it turned out that he also alarmed the Ouchi master.

Gui Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh.

Ji Yunyi sighed, in fact, the saint didn't know the scene of his family, and he also knew the difficult situation of the two of them in the town's Guohou Mansion, and he had not approved Ji Yunyi's request to open another mansion, also to stabilize Ji Houye, now Ji Houye seems to be cowardly and incompetent, and does not ask about court affairs, but in fact, he has great military power, and his relationship with the courtiers is complicated, and even the relationship with the old ministers of the eldest prince's line is also quite close.

The new emperor's ascension to the throne is not stable, and these old ministers are still unmoved.

Ji Yunyi knew the emperor's hard work, but let him watch his wife being bullied, how could he not be in a hurry in his heart.

Seeing that no one next to Ji Yunyi was holding Gui Mingyue's little hand, and the expression of the left and right relatives was not enough affection and apology, Jin Qi'er was already commonplace, what should he do.

It's just that Gui Mingyue thought that the eldest sister was still sitting next to her, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and coughed: "Have you seen the eldest sister?" ”

Ji Yunyi found that her sister-in-law was still beside her, and she saw Gui Jingxue's face not changing and tasting Longjing, as if she didn't see Ji Yunyi's flattering virtue just now, maybe she was used to it, because her sister Gui Mingyue occasionally had the same virtue as this kid when she faced her mother at home......

This couple is really alike......

"I've seen my aunt, I made you smile last night, is it okay for breakfast?" Ji Yunyi didn't know how to deal with women other than Gui Mingyue, so he had to learn from Wu Jingnan's appearance and say gently with a hint of respect.

Although this sister-in-law is five or six years younger than him.

"She grew up pampered at home since she was a child, her father and eldest brother doted on her, and she was very angry, and her life was always smooth sailing, and the faces she saw were all smiling or stammering. How could he ever be humiliated like mud on the soles of his feet? Gui Jingxue didn't pay attention to his question, just put down the teacup and said slowly: "The eldest prince is a world-famous general in my dynasty, and his prestige has long made the small border country timid, but if he can't even protect his wife, how can he protect the world of the Great East?" ”
