"Well, it's hard work."

Gu Mingxiu blinked, revealing a slightly embarrassed smile. She grabbed An Li's palm and complained to her in a low voice: "There are suddenly a lot of people in the courtyard, I can't remember any of them, for fear that I will often make jokes by calling the wrong person." ”

It's Miss Chang, but there are so many people in the courtyard who don't know her.

Dong Qing's face turned pale and tried to explain: "Siniang, you just came back...."

"But the people my aunt picked are not quite in line with Siniang's heart." Gu Mingxiu's gaze fell on Dong Qing, and he smiled slightly, "I can't blame my aunt, after all, Siniang has just returned home, and this kind of thing will be arranged by my mother in the future, lest someone say that Siniang will embarrass her aunt in the future." ”

Dong Qing stood in place, and heard Old Madam Gu say lightly: "You are Miss Gu Mansion, which one dares to talk about you like this?" Her gaze fell on Gu Mingxiu, which was also a little meaningful.

The atmosphere seemed out of place, Dong Qing smiled awkwardly, sat down in the chair in silence, and did not speak more.

Gu Mingxiu knew that Dong Qing was afraid that he wanted to tear himself apart at this time. Obviously, everything was arranged, and when she looked at it, she was about to pull her down into the mud, and she was in the situation she is in today, not only lowering Gu Changge's status in Old Madam Gu's heart, but also handing over the power in her hands.

She was afraid that she couldn't figure out why An Li, who had always been cold and didn't like to take care of things, suddenly changed his temper.

Gu Mingxiu slowly straightened out his clothes, and raised his eyes to meet Gu Qingyue's gaze, timidly, but with a little complicated feelings. The two of them happened to meet each other, Gu Qingyue quickly turned her gaze, she stood up cautiously, and said softly, "Grandmother, Qingyue will go back first." ”

Old Madam Gu's gaze fell on the quiet Gu Qingyue, with a little sigh, and waved her hand lightly: "I got some new tea yesterday, I can't get used to it, you like to study these, take it back to the courtyard." ”

"Yes, Qingyue thanked her grandmother." Gu Qingyue's voice was a little joyful, and she was forcibly suppressed by herself, she hung her head, and she couldn't see her expression at all.

Gu Xiaodie's face was disdainful, as if she wanted to snort coldly, but she couldn't help but look ugly when she remembered Fang Cai's treatment, and twisted her head to the side. Gu Mingxiu didn't speak, and looked thoughtfully at the departing third sister.

There is only one lady and one aunt in the Gu Mansion. Gu Qingyuan originally had a childhood sweetheart's playmate, and he was deeply loved by Mrs. Gu, but not long after marrying in, he died of frail health not long after giving birth to his daughter. was originally raised by An Li's side, but later An Li took her away, and the third sister was a little older, so she was raised in her own yard.

Gu Qingyue was cowardly and timid, looking like she didn't need anyone to worry about it.

"Grandmother, then we'll step back too." Gu Changge stood up, patted Gu Xiaodie behind him, and spoke softly to Old Madam Gu, without the slightest resentment between his eyebrows, "Mother, fourth sister, let's go back first." ”

Dong Qing blessed his body and left with the three of them.

Looking at Dong Qing's gentle and virtuous back, Gu Mingxiu's eyes were gloomy, and a few smiles flashed. I don't know if her third sister, who is good at forbearance, knew that it was this seemingly gentle and harmless aunt Dong Qing who killed her mother back then, how would ..... behave?

"Four girls."

Old Madam Gu's faint voice sounded, Gu Mingxiu raised her eyes, stood up and bowed her head softly: "Grandmother." ”

"You're still a sister after all, and you can't have a bad relationship with your sister." Old Madam Gu looked at her meaningfully, and her tone was very indifferent, "If the sisters in the family are not in harmony, it will be disdainful of them outside." ”

"Siniang knows." Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly, and her tone did not have the slightest complaint or dissatisfaction, "After all, there is a gap of eleven years, it is inevitable that there will be a little estrangement, it is Siniang's fault, and it is very normal if there are some small troubles and small grievances." ”

Old Madam Gu nodded: "It's good if you can understand." She rested her head on the palm of her hand and closed her eyes lightly, "I'm a little tired, you guys should go back too." ”

"Yes."

Out of the yard, the mother and daughter walked side by side in the backyard. Gu Mingxiu held An Li's arm and smiled slightly: "Mother, you don't like to take care of these things in the backyard, and you won't make trouble with your aunt, but now it's for Xiu'er, do you blame Xiu'er?" ”

"Silly girl, what are you talking nonsense to your mother." An Li looked down at her well-behaved appearance, raised his hand and gently patted the back of Gu Mingxiu's hand on his arm, and his eyes were a little complicated and fleeting, "My mother doesn't like it, but it doesn't mean that others can easily bully you." ”

Gu Mingxiu suffered such a big grievance, but instead of looking for her, she had to find Mrs. Gu to be the master, just because she had no power in her hands and couldn't be the master.

"I thought... She's going to be a good person. An Li couldn't help but sigh lowly, she met Gu Mingxiu's quiet eyes, and said softly, "Xiu'er, my mother knows your ......" She paused, raised her hand and touched Gu Mingxiu's hair, and said softly, "You promised your mother, you won't hate your father, will you?" ”

There was a slight change in mood under his eyes, which quickly made An Li completely unaware. The quiet little girl looked up at her mother-in-law with a clean smile on her face: "Well, I promised my mother-in-law." ”

She never hated Gu Qingyuan, and she didn't even want to share this kind of affection with the person who was her father.

But what she wants is that Gu Qingyuan is more uncomfortable than death.

Mother, you have to take a good look at the person you gave birth to a child for him, he doesn't love you, and he doesn't love the daughter you gave birth to.

Smack-

The red plum on the table was overturned, the delicate ceramic bottle fell to the ground, the water spread along the floor, mixed with a few falling petals, and the beautiful plum blossom was crushed and crushed, lying in the ceramic fragments.

Gu Xiaodie stood in front of the table, looking coldly at the flowers on the ground, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes: "Throw it away!" I threw all the things Gu Mingxiu sent! ”

"Enough!" Gu Changge snorted and glared at Gu Xiaodie.

"Second sister!" Being drunk coldly, Gu Xiaodie was slightly stunned, and grievances flashed on her face, "Gu Mingxiu deceived people too much, first stole your limelight, and now hurt your aunt!" Grandmother didn't know what kind of ecstasy she was given, but now she was helping Gu Mingxiu! She glared at the flower viciously, "She's a sick seedling!" Why didn't you die in Chongming Temple?! ”

"Obviously, she should be a straw bag like Gu Liyi!"

Dong Qing was so annoyed by her that he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the aggrieved look on Gu Xiaodie's face. Holding her daughter into her arms to comfort her, she said softly: "It's that you are too ignorant, and some things are not the right time." Your grandmother... But shrewdly. ”

"It would be nice if Daddy was here, if Daddy was here, he wouldn't let us be wronged!" Gu Xiaodie grabbed Dong Qing's clothes and said hatefully.

Gu Qingyuan went out of the hospital, and he probably couldn't come back in a few days.

His eyes flashed with a hint of contemplation, Dong Qing looked at Gu Changge: "But it's also a little strange, according to our news, Gu Mingxiu really didn't learn anything in the temple, but now he ......" Every time the people she kept in the temple passed on the message, they talked about how weak Gu Mingxiu was, how sick she was, and she was in a daze all day long, or she slept deeply.

"The fourth sister plays chess very well." Gu Changge seemed to fall into a memory, and said lightly, "She is quite organized, and she doesn't look like she's in bad health, and she obviously had a serious illness before she came back." ”

"This fourth sister...."Gu Changge said quietly, "Is it the fourth sister?" ”

What she said was very strange.

Gu Xiaodie raised her head from Dong Qing's arms and glanced at Gu Changge strangely, but saw a faint smile on Gu Changge's face, looking a little cold. She remembered Gu Mingxiu's smile, as well as the murderous intent in her eyes, pointing coldly at each of them.

"Madame should not find someone to cheat...."

"But what if Mother herself doesn't know?" Gu Changge said softly, "The fourth sister is so frail, it is not difficult to be killed. And what does this fourth sister want to do in exchange, we don't know, if she has a bad heart, wouldn't we be very dangerous? ”

Dong Qing glanced at Gu Changge's expression, and gradually calmed down a little on his face: "I remember that Siniang has a cinnabar mole on her chest, red like blood. ”

"Gu Liyi is her own sister, I'll look for her later." Gu Changge calmed down and began to instruct Gu Xiaodie, "Gu Mingxiu used to write letters to her, and she can check them up." She curled the corners of her lips slightly, and the smile she showed became more and more indifferent, "After all, the fourth sister went to Chongming Temple when she was so young, and what she looks like now may not be." ”

"But... What if she is really Gu Mingxiu? Gu Xiaodie couldn't help but ask.

"So what?" Gu Changge smiled faintly, his eyes fell on Gu Xiaodie, and his voice contained a hint of ruthlessness: "Even if she is, she must not." ”

For a moment, she didn't understand the meaning of her words, Gu Xiaodie frowned: "How could it not be .....?"

Gu Changge didn't speak, Dong Qing looked away and quietly glanced at Hongmei on the ground: "Madame was busy doing things for your father before she was pregnant with your fourth sister, but she didn't know her whereabouts during that time. How do we know who my wife has been in contact with for eleven years, your fourth sister...", she said meaningfully, "I can't say, it's not your father's own flesh and blood." ”

Gu Xiaodie's eyes widened and she looked at Dong Qing in disbelief.

Stroking his daughter's hair, Dong Qing smiled slightly: "Even if the lord has no feelings for his wife, he can't stand being cuckolded." If he really found out something..... old man would be furious. She muttered in a low voice, "There are thousands of ways in the world, and it depends on whether you dare to do it." ”

"There are some things that you have to grasp by yourself."

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
