Chapter 42: Coma
The carriage entered Yangzhou City in the early morning.
In the end, he was worried about Gu Mingxiu in his heart, and because he had never been away from this daughter for too long, An Li arranged for a carriage to return home early in the morning. Gu Liyi stayed awake all night, thinking of his sister's intention to let him do this, but he never objected, but was the one who agreed with him the most. Gu Jing didn't have any opinions, and followed the two of them.
He was accompanied by a gentle young woman who was holding her sleeping daughter in her arms.
The closer she got to Yangzhou City, the more intense the exploration of the young woman's eyes became.
Gu Liyi's gaze occasionally swept over the young woman, but she didn't speak.
She did meet this Xu family in Baiyuan Temple yesterday, and Xu's daughter was born round and cute. She pretended to meet the little doll by accident, played with her for a while, and waited for the peace that came to find her. When Ann left, the young woman who was smiling and watching them play changed a little in an instant.
Gu Liyi didn't do anything else, and after seeing that the two met, he planned to follow An Li to say goodbye, but it was this Xu who took the initiative to make friends with them, and he was very enthusiastic. The female doll liked to play with Gu Liyi, and refused to leave noisily, so An Li invited the young woman to come to Gu's house to stay for a few days.
Xu readily agreed.
This is the current situation.
Gu Liyi sighed silently in his heart, afraid that only when he saw Gu Mingxiu could he understand the mystery of this. She lifted the curtain and looked at the Gu Mansion getting closer and closer, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually subsided. Blinking his eyes, Gu Liyi breathed a sigh of relief.
She was about to lower the curtain and froze suddenly.
There was a maid standing at the gate of Gu's mansion, wandering back and forth incessantly. Her face was very worried, the anxiety between her eyebrows was not hidden, her eyes were slightly blue, and she looked like she had been crying for a long time.
The uneasiness in Gu Liyi's heart instantly expanded: "Mu Lan?!" ”
"Fifth Miss!" Mu Lan turned her head to see a few people, and tears fell instantly. As soon as the carriage stopped, Mu Lan ran over in two steps, and suddenly knelt down in front of Gu Liyi, who got off the car, and choked up: "Fifth Miss, madam, go and save the girl, the girl has been locked up in the ancestral hall for a night!" ”
"What did you say?!" Gu Liyi's face froze.
An Li had already turned his head and ran towards the ancestral hall, and the young woman had just gotten out of the car, and a little dark color flashed in her eyes. She handed the young girl in her arms to the maid behind her, and after a few words, she turned her head and hurried to follow.
At the same time, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the silence of Keei-in. Shuangxi, who was ordering the maid under the corridor, raised her head, saw Mo Zhu walking quickly, knelt down in front of her silently, and said with a little worry: "Sister Shuangxi, please save my girl." ”
"What's going on? What happened to Miss Four? Shuangxi hurriedly helped her, frowned and said, "Mozhu, don't worry. ”
The maids around the four girls are one steady and the other lively. Shuangxi has seen so many times, but he often sees Mu Lan's angry appearance, but it is rare to see Mo Zhu have such a gaffe.
"The lord didn't know what he heard last night, so he tied the girl up and took her to the ancestral hall and knelt down all night. The girl didn't let us disturb the old lady last night, but until now the girl is still kneeling in the ancestral hall and not letting people go in to see ......" Mo Zhu held Shuangxi's hand slightly, and his tone was a little bitter, "Sister Shuangxi, you know my girl's body, please ask the old lady to save the girl." ”
Shuangxi's face changed instantly, and he said comfortingly: "Mozhu, you wait for me for a while, and I will go to invite the old lady now." ”
With that, he hurriedly turned around and went into the inner room.
Old Madam Gu is now very satisfied with Gu Mingxiu. I have examined the bearing and etiquette of this concubine, and because of the fact that the literary meeting shines. Old Madam Gu didn't say anything on her face, but she had told them many times in private that Gu Mingxiu would take on the future glory of the Gu Mansion, and she had already ignored Gu Changge between her words.
Shuangxi has followed Mrs. Gu for many years, and still pinched Mrs. Gu's thoughts.
Looking at her back, Mo Zhu silently clenched his fists.
Dong Qing sent someone to look at the Mingxin Pavilion, and only relaxed slightly in the morning. Mo Zhu and Mu Lan ran out under the cover of others, one stood at the door and waited for An Li, and the other came to Jingrong Courtyard to invite Mrs. Gu.
Dong Qing wanted to teach Gu Mingxiu a lesson, but with the help of Master Gu's hand, he didn't expect to make things bigger.
Gu Mingxiu would not give her this opportunity.
She turned her head to look in the direction of the ancestral hall and muttered softly, "Girl, hold on a little longer..."
The guards at the door changed a few rounds, and Mama Buyi had already dozed off in the middle of the night, but after a night of vigilance, she slept soundly against the door, and was not alarmed by any sound at all.
Agarwood stood silently aside, like a wooden stake. Her gaze turned to Mama, but it was slightly deep, revealing a little coldness.
Footsteps rang out in the distance.
Agarwood turned her head to look in an instant, and saw the figures of An Li and several people.
An Li's face was very ugly, he pursed his lips tightly without saying a word, and walked over quickly. Gu Liyi followed the small steps beside her, looking like she was about to cry.
Gu Jing was young, he couldn't hide his emotions, but his steps were fast, and his eyes turned to Agarwood to confirm that she was Gu Mingxiu's maid, and immediately ran over to confirm with her: "The fourth sister is inside?!" ”
In the end, Mama Buyi was awakened passively, opened her eyes sleepily, and impatiently taught: "Which one doesn't have long eyes early in the morning....." Without finishing his words, he met Gu Jing's angry eyes.
She woke up instantly, but at this moment, she couldn't remember the horror of last night, and hurriedly stood up to stop Gu Jing, who was about to break inside, and her tone was still a little contemptuous: "Seventh Young Master, this is the master-"
Gu Jing was not a son-in-law, nor was he favored by Gu Qingyuan, and he was even cold. If it weren't for An Li's support, where would the people in the mansion still remember that he was a young master, but in the end he despised his attitude.
"Get out of the way!"
Without waiting for Gu Jing to speak, An Li had already arrived in front of him.
An Li has been married to Gu Qingyuan for many years, and he has always been gentle and gentle in front of people, rarely angry, and has almost never lost his temper with any of his subordinates, unlike Dong Qing's combination of soft and hard, but it is easy for people to forget that An Li is the master.
But An Li's face sank at this moment, and the anger that belonged to Jiangmen was enough to deter others.
Mama Buyi couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously let go of her: "Husband, madam...."
Gu Jing had already opened the door and ran in quickly, and Gu Liyi followed behind.
An Li was anxious to see Gu Mingxiu, ignoring the grandmother who was paralyzed on the ground, and Xu, who was one step later, glanced at the grandmother thoughtfully, and instructed the agarwood who was guarding the side and said: "Let's take care of the people first, presumably the lady will be tried in a while." ”
Agarwood glanced at her: "Yes." ”
"Fourth sister!" Gu Jing hurriedly stepped into the door, and his face changed when he touched the scene inside.
Gu Mingxiu should have fainted on her knees, her knees still on top of the futon. She lay quietly on her side, her arms resting lightly on her cheeks, her inky hair scattered behind her, and her cloak silently covering her body.
Gu Jing's body was still thin, and it was still a little difficult to help Gu Mingxiu up. Gu Liyi came over to help in a panic, raised his hand to hold Gu Mingxiu's hand, and choked up: "Sister embroidery? Sister embroidery, wake up, don't scare me, sister embroidery! ”
"Get out of the way." An Li hurriedly came over, whispered a word to Gu Liyi and the two, leaned over and took Gu Mingxiu in his arms, got up, left the ancestral hall, and rushed to Mingxin Pavilion.
Gu Liyi hurriedly stood up and followed, Gu Jing saw that her face was not good, and raised his hand to hold her hand.
Subconsciously glanced at Gu Jing, Gu Liyi's tears fell suddenly: "Little brother, I touched Sister Xiu's hand, there is no temperature at all, it is cold, I am so afraid..... if I don't say go to Baiyuan Temple..."
It would be nice if she hadn't listened to Gu Mingxiu's words.
Gu Jing shook his head: "Fifth sister, it's not your fault. ”
A chill appeared on his immature face, and a heavy disappointment burst out of his eyes.
It's the man's fault, the man they call Father.
Mu Lan was instructed to invite a doctor outside, and when the doctor came, An Li happened to carry Gu Ming into the courtyard.
She hurriedly led the doctor into the courtyard, and behind her, Mo Zhu followed Mrs. Gu to the entrance of the courtyard.
Untied Gu Ming's embroidered cloak, An Li carefully put the person on the bed, and hurriedly let the doctor behind him step forward. She stared at the doctor who took the pulse, not caring about anything else.
Seeing that she looked lost, Xu Shi hurriedly stepped forward and whispered comfortingly: "Don't worry, if you sit down, you will be tired all morning." ”
An Li's face was pale, he shook his head, and said softly: "I just hugged her, she was cold and cold, without a little warmth, if not... If I hadn't been able to hear her breathing..."
"Don't worry, I look at the goodness of this little girl's life, it must be a sign of great blessing, where is it so easy to go, don't scare yourself with cranky thoughts."
Xu comforted An Li, turned his head and looked to the side again. Gu Liyi's two sisters and brothers and the three maids were all around, staring at the doctor who took the pulse.
She sighed in her heart, stepped forward and said, "It's easy to make mistakes when so many people are guarding, why don't you wait here?" ”
After saying that, he pulled Gu Liyi and Gu Jingyi to sit at the small table on the side, turned his head and looked at Agarwood again, and said, "When I came just now, I saw many people guarding your courtyard, do you still recognize people?" If you recognize it, you will catch it, and when you want to use it, you will not be afraid of fewer people. ”
Mo Zhu nodded: "I remember those people." ”
Agarwood nodded, followed Mozhu out and called a few servants to arrest people.
Old Madam Gu was supported by Shuangxi and had already walked to An Li's side, and she couldn't help but look at the person on the bed.
The little girl, who was fine a few days ago, is lying silently on the bed at the moment. Gu Mingxiu's complexion was originally white, and he often used fat powder to cover his sick appearance, and he looked quite cute, but now his face was snow-white, and his lips were even more bloodless.
She frowned, "What the hell is going on?!" ”
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
