The starlight hung in the air at a few o'clock, vaguely lonely.

The little maid had just watered the flowers in the yard and was about to lift the wooden bucket when the hidden courtyard door was kicked open with a "bang". The mean-looking two grandmothers led a group of people to stand at the door menacingly, glanced at the maids cleaning in the courtyard, and walked straight to the main hall.

"What are you doing!"

Mu Lan was in the outer hall, and when she heard the voice, she quickly opened the curtain and walked out. Seeing that so many people were actually coming straight to the hall, her face sank, and she snatched the broom in the hand of the stunned little girl in the corridor, and shook it forward: "What are you doing!" Who told you to break into my girl's yard?! Are there any rules?! ”

Mama Buyi was taken aback, stopped and steadied herself, looked at Mu Lan with a smile, and snorted softly: "The old slave is ordered by the old man to invite the fourth lady to go to the ancestral hall to kneel." She waved her hand and motioned for the people behind her to step forward, "The master said, before the fourth lady admitted her mistake, she knelt in the ancestral hall, please don't get in the way of our affairs." ”

Mu Lan glared at Mama fiercely and knocked the broom out: "I think which of you dares?!" ”

Originally, everyone was in a circle, and there were many people behind Mu Lan. She threw it like that, scaring those who came up in place, Mu Lan stretched out her hand and crossed her waist, and shouted someone to stop her: "Block me, I see who dares to touch our girl today!" ”

Mama Buyi was frightened by Mu Lan's pungency, and she didn't step forward at this moment, but just laughed: "I was ordered by the master, are you going to disobey the master's orders?" ”

"What did my girl do wrong?" Mu Lan had a little scruple in her heart, but now she couldn't care about it at all, she sneered, "The girl only fell ill yesterday, and today she will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, is this the girl's life?" Little Peach! Go, go and invite the old lady! Let's see who dares to rely on Madame not to bully us girls! ”

"Yes!" A little girl with clear eyebrows replied, put down the broom in her hand and ran out the door.

Mama Buyi hurriedly made a look, and immediately someone stepped forward to grab Xiao Tao and pushed it inside. The two strong men walked to the door and closed the door, staring at the people inside.

Mama Buyi said with a smile: "The old lady said, don't alarm the old lady, and ask the fourth lady to come with us, don't toast and don't eat and drink." ”

Mu Lan's face was ugly, and she glared at her fiercely. Seeing this, Mama Buyi's face sank, she stared at Mu Lan, and her tone was quite arrogant: "You little, if you don't punish you today, you really don't know who the master of the Gu family is!" ”

With that, he waved his hand, and the people behind him stepped forward to pull Mu Lan and the other maidservants.

"Presumptuous!"

The crying had just started, and a cold scolding came from inside, with an indifferent chill, which forced the smugness that Mama Buyi had just put on her face stiffly. The curtain was lifted, and the agarwood came out, letting the people behind him come out.

The cloak girl walked out slowly, and stood still on the steps step by step. Her face was obviously still a little immature, but her eyes were as colorful as frost and snow, and they fell coldly on the cloth cloth. The little girl's posture was very steady, looking down at them condescendingly, full of urgency.

Mama Buyi couldn't help but feel afraid, and when she thought of her purpose, she immediately raised her courage again: "Fourth Miss——"

"Did I let you speak?" The long eyelashes suddenly turned, and his gaze fell on her carelessly, Gu Mingxiu had a cold smile on his lips, "Who is the master of the Gu Mansion, is it you?" But whoever gives you the courage to move my people in my court. She smiled slightly, her voice cold and piercing, "Agarwood." ”

Agarwood nodded, stepped forward and gave Lady Buyi a neat slap, directly knocked the person over, and planted it on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up: "Four, fourth miss, the old slave is-"

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Agarwood stepped forward and grabbed her collar, and simply gave her two slaps, instantly spitting blood from the mouth of the cloth cloth, trembling and kneeling on the ground and not daring to raise her head.

Gu Mingxiu said lightly: "Did I let you speak out?" ”

The courtyard was instantly silent, Gu Mingxiu's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "No matter what happens, I am still Miss Yan of the Gu Mansion, who gave you the courage to bully me." ”

Everyone didn't dare to speak for a while, Gu Mingxiu stepped up, went down the stairs and stopped beside Buyi's grandmother. Mama Buyi trembled, but she didn't dare to say a word, and when she was afraid, she heard Gu Mingxiu say lightly: "The rules are here, but since Mama is on my father's orders, then I don't care." ”

Mama Buyi didn't dare to speak, she just lowered her head and nodded vigorously.

Gu Mingxiu said lightly: "Let's go." ”

Mama Buyi was beaten, and she didn't understand the meaning of Gu Mingxiu's words for a while, so she fell in place and didn't dare to move.

"Didn't you say you wanted me to go to the ancestral hall? Mama doesn't lead the way, do you want me to invite? ”

Mama Buyi couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly got up, but she didn't dare to look at Gu Mingxiu, and walked forward with a hunched body: "Don't dare, don't dare, please come with the fourth lady and the old slave." ”

"Don't follow," Gu Mingxiu raised his eyes to look at the three maids behind him, and said lightly, "Father is going to punish me for kneeling alone, presumably you are not allowed to enter, and there is no need to alarm grandmother, grandmother should sleep at this moment." You take care of the yard and do whatever you have to do. ”

Miao Lan was anxious to cry, and Mama Buyi's voice was still a little trilling: "The master said, let the fourth lady kneel alone, and no one is allowed to accompany her." ”

Miao Lan and Mo Zhu are the maids of the Gu Mansion, but Agarwood is not. She stepped forward and walked behind Gu Mingxiu, and said softly: "The slave maid followed the girl and guarded at the door of the ancestral hall, and the girl was also relieved." ”

Agarwood knows martial arts, Gu Mingxiu thought about it, and nodded.

Mama Buyi sent Gu Mingxiu to the door of the ancestral hall and closed the door, not daring to go in at all to stare at Gu Mingxiu if she really knelt all night. This fourth young lady really scared her and didn't dare to say more.

The night was as cool as water, and the branches that grew out of the high wall slanted into the roof, and the shadows blurred on the ground, like ghosts. Rows of candles illuminated the ancestral hall, and the surroundings were quiet, without a sound.

Gu Mingxiu knelt quietly in the ancestral hall.

Lowering his eyes and staring at the patterns on the skirt, Gu Mingxiu stretched out his hand to rub the patterns, without a trace of emotion on his face.

She also knelt in the ancestral hall in her previous life, for the sake of the cultural meeting. It's just that at that time, Mrs. Gu didn't have expectations for her, An Li was angry because of her private meeting, and Gu Liyi and Gu Jing's life led her to treat her sincerely in the mansion.

She knelt for a night and almost lost her life.

Later, An Li became terminally ill, and she knelt in front of the Buddha for a day and a night but failed to change An Li back. After marrying that man, because he was sick, she prayed in front of the Buddha and knelt for three days without eating or drinking.

For Gu Mingxiu, kneeling in the ancestral hall is not a big deal.

She raised her head slowly, her dark eyes staring faintly at the cards in the hall, and there was no awe in her eyes. She just stared at that place indifferently, with a faint mockery and indifference on her face. is like a lonely lotus under the thousand-year-old ice, forcing people and full of killing intent.

It's just that the people she treated sincerely in the previous life never reciprocated with sincerity, and even hated each other. In this life, these people still don't have much repentance, and now she kneels in front of the ancestors of the Gu family, hoping that these people can see clearly that this is what the Gu Mansion owes her, and owes her and An Li.

The ancestral hall was empty, and Gu Mingxiu lowered his eyes and slowly relaxed his body.

With her body now kneeling all night, something is bound to happen. Gu Mingxiu took a pill before he came, which eased his condition slightly. Her body didn't have to be in the previous life at all, and some would even make her wonder how long she could last in this life.

It's about the price of being born again.

Gu Mingxiu sighed softly. With her protection and agarwood secretly staring, Dong Qing and the others can't find a chance to attack An Li in this life, so An Li will definitely be able to live for a long time. She asked Gu Liyi to coax Gu Jing to leave, but she was afraid that Gu Jing would fall out with Gu Qingyuan in advance and even ruin her plan.

Gu Mingxiu wanted to use his life to let An Li see Gu Qingyuan clearly.

A few bits of broken ice appeared in the sight, fleeting. She slowly leaned to the side, holding her hands on the ground. The long hair fell to the ground, and the fingertips touched the ground, and the biting coolness instantly went straight to the bottom of my heart. Gu Mingxiu pursed her lips, raised her hand to cover the corner of her lips and coughed lightly, the smell of blood surged up her throat, she pursed her lips and forced her to retreat.

The candle flame jumped slightly, and the girl's weak figure slowly fell to the side.

Diali stretched out a hand and caught her body steadily. The Xuanxi Dayu spun to the side, bringing Gu Mingxiu's entire body together in the Dayu. The half-kneeling boy hugged the man in his arms, and the girl leaned quietly on his chest, and from a distance it seemed that the two were intimate, like lovers.

The flickering candle flame reflected on the young man's face, half of the mask was illuminated, and half of it was hidden in the darkness. There is no smile in his eyes, which have always been smiling, and even a sharp and cold anger, with a faint bloodthirsty coldness.

He said lightly, "Come out." ”

A person appeared silently behind him, and the tall man pushed the person he was holding to the side, squatting beside the young man on the spot, bowing his head and saying nothing. The person who was pushed glared at the man, reluctantly took out the medicine box on his back, squatted down to check Gu Mingxiu's pulse, and was happy when his eyes fell on Gu Mingxiu: "Master, where did you find the sick Xi Shi?" ”

Raising his eyes to meet the young man's unsmiling gaze, the young man shivered and hurriedly lowered his head to see the doctor.

He subconsciously frowned, and the young man had already asked coldly, "How?" ”

The young man lowered his head and put his things away, took out a small white porcelain bottle in the medicine box, poured out two pills from it and carefully fed them to Gu Mingxiu, and instructed: "It melts in your mouth, don't worry." ”

After a pause, he looked at Gu Mingxiu with a bit of inquiry.

"Master, if I say that this girl is already a dead person..... do you believe it?"

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
