Chapter 47, acting
The wind rattled her hair, and the air smelled faintly of grass.
In the morning, under the ancient trees of Xiaopo.
The man who couldn't see his face clearly raised his hand and slowly picked up a strand of her hair, and his eyes fell on her. Before he could speak, the girl in the small jacket and long skirt took a step back to avoid his touch, and said lightly: "Self-respect." β
It was her voice, cold and indifferent, with a bit of panic that could not be concealed.
The person on the other side seemed to sneer lowly, but did not go any further or do anything transgressive. He stood calmly in place, looked at her lightly with his arms crossed, and his tone was a little helpless: "You have thought about it...... I'm leaving, and I don't know what year or month it will be when I say goodbye this time. β
"What's the matter?" She said lightly, "I'm always here." β
He chuckled again: "Gu Mingxiu, do you want to leave the Gu Mansion?" β
- Gu Mingxiu.
Two voices, familiar and unfamiliar, overlapped and fell into her ears through the distant gap in time and space. The bottom of his eyes struggled a little uneasy, and he quickly lowered his eyes and didn't look at the person in front of him. Gu Mingxiu easily broke free from the other party's restraints with a little force, moved a few steps back, and widened the distance between the two, and then she said lightly: "What if you want, what if you don't want to?" β
Xiao Wang Shen Huai was not aroused by her actions, he still supported his cheek with one hand, and put the other hand on the side carelessly: "Since you and I are allies, if you want to, I will naturally help you." With a meaningful smile on his lips, Shen Huai raised his eyes to look at her, "After all, it's going to serve the Gu Mansion in one pot, and this king can't do anything to stab you." β
Are there still fewer people he stabs in the back?
Gu Mingxiu thought about the rumors about the person in front of him, and didn't answer the question: "I want to solve the Gu Mansion with my own hands." β
A few hints of surprise flashed in his eyes, as well as a little imperceptible thought.
Shen Huai looked at her expression: "This king is really curious, what did Gu Fu do....It actually makes you hate it so much." Aren't you surnamed Gu, not Gu Qingyuan's daughter? β
"Does Your Highness think Gu Qingyuan regards me as a daughter?" Gu Mingxiu asked rhetorically, his eyes were as calm as frost and snow, "What Gu Fu owes me and owes my mother, I will definitely let them repay it with my own hands." β
Her voice was a little soft, but it made people shudder.
Shen Huai looked at her thoughtfully: "You need to leave the Gu Mansion, this fire will burn to yourself sooner or later." β
Gu Mingxiu's expression was faint, and Shen Huai said again: "That lady has already embarked on the journey home, Jing Zhou is a long way from Yangzhou, if General An hears this, there will be movement within a month." β
"You ....." Gu Mingxiu paused, "..... do you know His Majesty's attitude towards the General's Mansion?" β
She originally wanted to ask Shen Huai how he knew about this and whether he had a spy by her side. However, after thinking about it, if His Royal Highness King Xiao, who was in charge of the Jinyi Guard, wanted to know these things, wouldn't there be a lot of information uploaded to him. Moreover, it was not unusual for him to arrange manpower around him in order to deal with the Gu Mansion.
Gu Mingxiu didn't fully believe that Shen Huai didn't have the slightest precaution against her.
She believes in the end.
Shen Huai said: "General An is loyal, and the general's mansion is full of loyal and brave people. Glancing at Gu Mingxiu, he casually picked up the apple on the table and put it in his hand to play, "The so-called suspicious person is not needed, General An was pulled up by the imperial brother, you don't have to worry." β
Gu Mingxiu looked at him: "Your Majesty has never suspected the General's Mansion once?" β
Shen Huai said: "Never." β
She fell silent, and her mood suddenly felt a little indescribably sad. In the previous life, General An had never betrayed the Son of Heaven, but she went to ask for help, and it took a long time for her grandfather to agree to serve that man. My grandfather didn't know that the Son of Heaven was forced to abdicate from the palace, and later he was suspicious of this matter, so he ended up beheaded.
It's her fault.
Gu Mingxiu's eyes were gloomy.
The top of her head was rubbed coldly, and she raised her head and met Shen Huai's gaze. The young man who stood up and bent down slightly looked at her with a smile, and there was a bit of teasing in his eyes: "You little girl, what are you doing with such a lifeless appearance?" It's cute to see you coquettish to others, when will you be the same as this king-"
The little girl's gaze was cold, and she suppressed a little anger.
His Royal Highness King Xiao, who was very knowledgeable, evoked a casual smile, glanced outside the courtyard, straightened up and said, "In some time, it will be Mrs. Gu's birthday, you should be careful." β
The big palm gently rubbed her head again, and Shen Huai's tone was a little more different: "You ....."
He paused, casually padd the apple in his hand, then ignored Gu Mingxiu, who looked inexplicable, turned around and jumped up the tree easily, and his figure disappeared into the leaves.
Gu Mingxiu stared at the place where the other party disappeared, and pursed her lips slightly.
When Agarwood came in, she saw her girl staring at the tree above her head with a strange look. She subconsciously glanced at it, but didn't find anything wrong: "Girl, Miss Fifth is here." β
"Hmm." Gu Mingxiu paused and asked her, "Agarwood, have you found anyone coming?" β
"The slave didn't notice anything wrong." Agarwood shook her head, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Girl, has anyone broken in?" β
"A disciple." Gu Mingxiu closed his eyes and covered the book on the side, and there was a hint of annoyance in his tone, "Go and raise a few dogs, and keep them in the yard to take precautions." β
Agarwood was inexplicable: "Yes." β
She was about to retreat after she was blessed, Gu Liyi hurriedly ran over, and held Gu Mingxiu's hand nervously: "I just heard from them that the second sister and the sixth sister are coming to see you in the afternoon." They must be fine, I'll come over with you first, and thenβ"
Gu Mingxiu blinked and looked at the agarwood.
Agarwood immediately realized: "The second miss and the sixth miss are indeed on the way to Mingxin Pavilion." β
After pondering for a moment, Gu Mingxiu looked at his sister with a smile: "Yiyi, let's quarrel." β
In a sense, this is the first time that Gu Changge and the others have officially set foot in Mingxin Pavilion to meet this sister. Mu Lan was talking to Ling Qiao in the courtyard, and she was very surprised to see the two of them, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Second Miss, Sixth Miss." β
Seeing Ling Qiao, Gu Changge's eyes changed slightly: "The fifth sister is also here?" β
"The fifth sister seems to be getting very close to the fourth sister recently." Gu Xiaodie looked at Ling Qiao and said with a smile.
Without waiting for the two to reply, Mo Zhu hurriedly walked over from the corridor: "Come and find Madame, the girl and the fifth miss - the second miss, the sixth miss?" Mo Zhu hurriedly stopped, his expression was a little embarrassed, "It's inconvenient for the girl to see the two young ladies now..."
"What is the reasoning? You can see the fifth sister but you can't see us? Isn't the fourth sister still holding a grudge against us? Gu Xiaodie raised her eyebrows, snorted lightly and crossed the ink bamboo and rushed inside, "They are all my own sisters, I want to ask the fourth sister for an explanation!" β
"You just said that you were going to find your mother, but the fourth sister is uncomfortable again?" Gu Changge kept up with Gu Xiaodie's pace, and asked Mo Zhu, who was very anxious to follow him, with worry on his face.
Walking through the corridor, I heard the faint sound of dispute at the entrance of the backyard.
Gu Changge's steps paused, and Gu Xiaodie had already stepped in.
Smack-
A porcelain cup smashed open at Gu Xiaodie's feet, and the fragments splashed everywhere, startling her. Anger suddenly appeared on her face, Gu Xiaodie stopped and stared wide-eyed to find the culprit.
The two people who were arguing didn't notice the appearance of the person at all.
"You're enough!" Gu Liyi turned her back to the two of them, and brushed Gu Mingxiu's hand away, "Always find my mother to intercede!" Obviously you are a sister, even if you are embarrassed by everything, even if you are sister, you still have to provoke me and my second sister! Now you still say that, do you feel the slightest bit guilty? β
Gu Mingxiu's face was pale, and he opened his mouth to refute something, his eyes swept over them behind him, and his face showed a little panic: "Yiyi, don't quarrel yet...."
"You're deceiving people too much!" Gu Liyi didn't understand why Gu Mingxiu's anger suddenly dropped, "You just rely on your body to be bad, and you always let your mother favor you!" I listened to my mother's words, accompanied you shopping, accompanied you to the cultural meeting, and I was still worried about you when you knelt in the ancestral hall....but you always put the mistake on the second sister! β
The accusations were heard clearly, Gu Changge and Gu Xiaodie glanced at each other, and there was a bit of pride in their eyes, and they were quickly suppressed, not revealing half a point. Gu Changge shook his head, and the two walked over.
"The second sister always accompanies me, you don't want me with your mother, only she and the sixth sister play with me, fourth sister, why can't you try not to bully the second sister? You're reallyβ"
The more Gu Liyi spoke, the more angry he became, Gu Mingxiu could only clench the scroll in his hand, and seeing the two people standing next to the moon gate coming over, Gu Mingxiu suddenly panicked and said sharply: "Shut up!" β
She had never been so strict, and it actually made Gu Liyi stunned.
Seeing this, Gu Changge said softly: "Fourth sister, fifth sister." Her voice was a little worried, and she quickly stepped forward to support Gu Mingxiu, who was not in a good state, and said worriedly, "Fourth sister, don't be excited." β
"Fifth sister, you can't be angry with the fourth sister." Gu Xiaodie stood next to Gu Liyi and pulled her sleeve.
Gu Liyi was a little surprised and nervous when she saw the two of them, but at this moment, listening to the two of them talking, they were all helping Gu Mingxiu, and her eyes couldn't help but widen, and her eyes instantly turned red: "You....she is clearly a bully!" Now you don't help me like my mother, but she bullies people like this, but I can't even speak? β
Stomping his feet, Gu Liyi pushed Gu Xiaodie away: "Gu Mingxiu!" I hate you! β
Then he turned and ran out.
When Gu Mingxiu heard this, her body collapsed slightly, and she couldn't stand a little unsteadily even if she was supported by others: "Yiyi...."She choked up, "I obviously want to protect you, how could it...." she raised her hand to cover her lips, unable to speak.
Seeing this, Mo Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to support Gu Mingxiu, and said anxiously: "Second Miss, it's really inconvenient for my girl to see you now..."
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
