Chapter 54: Preparing to Return to Beijing
"What you said is true?"
"I saw it with my own eyes."
A smile filled the corners of his eyes, and his lips were a little proud. Gu Changge didn't have a warm and generous appearance at the moment, but he looked a little yin and yang, which made people very uncomfortable at first sight.
Gu Changge raised his hand and brushed his sideburns, and slowly touched the embroidery frame in front of him: "I can see very clearly, there is no cinnabar mole on her chest, and besides, she said it herself... She said that she wanted to seek justice for Gu Mingxiu, but she was clearly not Gu Mingxiu. ”
She said yes.
Gu Xiaodie clapped her hands and laughed, and then got up and hurriedly said, "Let's go, we'll go and demolish her now!" ”
"You girl, what's the hurry?" Dong Qing hurriedly grabbed the little girl who was about to leave in a hurry, and shook her head funny, "Don't be in a hurry at this time." ”
"Auntie, how can you not be in a hurry?" Gu Xiaodie shook her hand dissatisfied, frowned and said angrily, "Didn't you see how she followed us every day after she returned home?" At the literary meeting, at the birthday banquet, she stole the limelight of the second sister everywhere, not to mention, but also gave us a look at her face. ”
"Phew! It's clear that she is not a serious young lady, but she dares to bully us like this! ”
Gu Xiaodie stared outside, as if she could stare at Gu Mingxiu in the Mingxin Pavilion through the closed door. She thought about the events of the past few days and felt more and more angry, and said, "Since it's not Gu Mingxiu, we're going to demolish her!" ”
"How to debunk?" Dong Qing asked her.
Gu Xiaodie looked at Dong Qing strangely: "Naturally, I went to tell my father and grandmother." ”
Dong Qing shook his head: "It's to demolish her, but it's not that way." She raised her hand to take her daughter in her arms, stroked her hair, and sighed slightly, "What your grandmother said is also good, I should also take care of you, it's not good to be in such a hurry all the time." ”
Gu Changge is the hope of the future, Dong Qing and Gu Qingyuan have been cultivating her all the time, sparing no effort to pave the way for her, and only occasionally mentioning a few words about Gu Xiaodie. Seeing that the innocent and lovely girl was not pure-minded, but she didn't have the scheming and temperament like Gu Changge at all, it made Dong Qing a little helpless.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Changge smiled slightly: "We have to think of a way to let our father know that Gu Mingxiu is not her daughter, but her mother lived with her outside, but she has been raised in Gu's mansion." ”
"Daddy didn't like Gu Mingxiu in the first place, and he was going to be furious when he thought about it." Gu Xiaodie lay in Dong Qing's arms, looking at the confidence in Gu Changge's eyes, she couldn't help laughing, and said firmly, "At that time, I will see how long she can be majestic." ”
"You guys get along with your 'fourth sister' these days, let her go more, try her more." Dong Qing smiled slightly, with a bit of deep meaning in his eyes.
The two of them instantly understood, and Gu Changge smiled: "Yes, auntie." ”
The mother and daughter, who were in a hurry when they came, changed their leisurely appearance when they went out.
When Agarwood presented to Gu Mingxiu, she was foreshadowing the two patterns she had just drawn and hung them on the table. The wind blew the petals off, Gu Mingxiu turned his head to look at the wind outside, and said leisurely: "Let them be, maybe they thought they had found a big handle to bring me down, they thought they could raise their eyebrows..... let them be happy." ”
"Doesn't the girl care?" Agarwood asked.
Gu Mingxiu instructed Mo Zhu Haosheng to look at the drawings, shook his head and said, "If you don't have that mind, they won't have trouble in the next few days." ”
"Does the slave still need to monitor the movements of the three courtyards?"
"Keep watching."
She took two steps, froze in place, and stared thoughtfully into the distance: "Count the hours, at this time....she should have returned to Jingzhou." ”
Agarwood didn't know why, but didn't ask.
As Gu Mingxiu said, at this moment, someone in Jing Zhou's General's Mansion is angry.
The teacup in his hand smashed to the ground with a "snap", and the hot water flowed down the ground. The dark tea leaves stick to the porcelain cup, which looks particularly embarrassing. One shoe stepped on a broken cup, not caring that the rim of the shoe was wet with tea. The middle-aged man didn't hold back his anger, just stared at the woman on the side: "Is she really living this kind of life now?" ”
The man standing next to the woman also had red eyes and asked her, "Is that how she was treated?" ”
The young woman nodded, patted the man's arm, and said softly, "I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears." ”
But it's Xu.
Xu sighed lightly and said, "That Gu Qingyuan didn't have any friendship with his sister-in-law when he saw it, and he didn't show any affection at all. It's all a posture of spoiling a concubine and killing a wife, where is there a half-point husband and wife affection? It's a pity for the sister-in-law, and she has to show mercy to the aunt, and endure it everywhere, but she can't end up with half a point. ”
The middle-aged man in the hall kicked the broken teacup under his feet irritably, and whispered, "That's not how I heard about it!" ”
This person is the general who moved to Jingzhou, and Anli's father. The one with red eyes was Xu's husband An Zhixing, and the one who stood opposite An Zhixing and never said a word was the eldest young master of the General's Mansion, An Zhikang.
"In the past few days in the Gu Mansion, I have also asked people to inquire, that Gu Qingyuan was originally good to my sister-in-law, but... After the sister-in-law broke off the relationship with the general's mansion, she was cold. My sister-in-law has lived in Chongming Temple for eleven years, and Gu Qingyuan has never sent anyone to take a look, let alone go in person. ”
Xu Shi paused and said softly: "It has always been....Gu Qingyuan really married his sister-in-law because of the general's mansion." ”
Hearing this, An Zhixing's voice was even more aggrieved: "But when I wrote to Ah Li, she always said that she was very good!" The correspondence, which lasted for a few months, was finally terminated by General Ahn's furious discovery of it.
"You're such an idiot." Xu Shi looked at her husband helplessly.
An Zhikang, who had been silent for a long time, said slowly: "Ah Li is afraid that we will be worried, and he is also afraid of implicating the General's Mansion, so he lied to you so much." ”
The indifferent-eyed man touched the dagger on his waist and sneered: "Speaking of which, it's just that Ah Li has cut off contact with us, and those villains think that she has no one in the background and can be bullied at will!" Speaking of this, An Zhikang couldn't help but glared at General An, "And Dad, he ruthlessly broke off the relationship with Ah Li back then, and he didn't allow us to communicate." ”
General An glared back, but did not speak.
He also felt sorry for this daughter. She invalidated a good family affair back then, for the sake of that stupid scholar, General An was so angry that he wanted to kill her. said that it was a severance of relations, but it was also a momentary anger, where did I know that An Li was very angry, but he really kowtowed and left the general's mansion.
General An held his breath, really didn't care about this daughter, and left Yangzhou with the whole mansion, and no one in the mansion was allowed to have any contact with An Li.
In the end, it is his own daughter, but he refuses to bow his head like this.
An Zhixing hated and said: "Dad! Aren't we going to bring Ah Li back? She's so unhappy there, do we really care about her anymore?! ”
"Pick up? Pick up what?! General An said angrily, "It's she who refuses to ask us for help!" How are we going to pick it up?! If she refuses to come back with us, shall we go and have a closed door?! ”
An Zhixing was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and said hurriedly: "Isn't it possible to make Ah Li suffer there?!" ”
"I don't think so." Everyone's eyes fell on Xu's body, Xu shook his head, and said slowly, "My sister-in-law's eldest daughter is very smart, and I look at it cute, but...her body is not very good, I have been looking at her such a weak body in the house in the past few days, just because of a few words from that aunt, she was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and she knelt for a whole night, and almost lost her life." ”
She didn't know what she remembered, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "That child is very sensible, and she told her sister-in-law that she would not resent her father, but she was slapped indiscriminately by Gu Qingyuan." The sister-in-law watched from the side, trembling with anger, and looked a little cold to Gu Qingyuan. ”
"He still dares to hit Ah Li's child?!" An Zhixing's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was extremely angry, "Is it really when there is no one in our family?!" ”
Xu ignored her husband: "I asked Xiu'er, and she said she wanted to leave the Gu Mansion." Xu Shi paused and said, "Gu Qingyuan must have done a lot of things to them that made them feel cold, that kid....he has no nostalgia for Gu Fu at all." ”
It can also be said....that child has no father-daughter affection for Gu Qingyuan at all. The child didn't feel like a child to her, but there was something strange about it, which made people incomprehensible.
Xu didn't say this: "Xiu'er is well-behaved and sensible, but she is much wiser than ordinary children, and it makes people feel distressed to look at." ”
"Xiu'er?" An Zhixing repeated it and asked her, "Ah Li's child?" ”
"Well, my sister-in-law's daughter is called Mingxiu, and there is another one called Liyi." Xu Shi said softly, "Xiu'er's body is very weak, and she has to rely on medicine to recuperate, and she can't be happy and sad, but where can Gu Fu live in peace?" I'm afraid there will be a few more of them... The kid won't last long. ”
The last sentence was faintly choked, and the three big men in the classroom changed color in unison.
An Zhixing looked at his wife in disbelief, then turned his head to look at General An, and said angrily: "Dad! What are you waiting for?! If so....if you won't go, then I'll—"
"What are you?!" General An shouted.
He raised his hand and slammed his fist on the table, and sneered: "Gu Qingyuan deceived me into settling down, do you really think that no one will take care of Ah Li?" Since he likes that aunt and that aunt's children so much, then don't take possession of our family! Ah Li and Ah Li's children, and they were all brought back to the General's Mansion to raise! ”
Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and An Zhixing was overjoyed: "Yes!" Father! ”
"If Ah Li still refuses to come back with us....." An Zhikang frowned, glanced at his happy brother, and hesitated.
"Then he tied it back." General An's fists clenched unconsciously, and he frowned and said, "Ah Li must reconcile with Gu Qingyuan this time, even if he uses some means, he will definitely bring Ah Li's mother and daughter back!" ”
General An's eyebrows were heavy and he said coldly.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
