"Ma'am."

Gu Mingxiu raised his head and heard the voice of Ling Qiao coming from outside the door. She sat on the edge of the bed and didn't move, her eyes stared at An Li who entered the door, and opened her lips: "Mother, are you unhappy?" ”

An Li was slightly stunned, stepped forward and touched the top of her hair: "Yiyi hasn't woken up yet, and my mother is a little worried." ”

"But didn't my mother see my father, and didn't my father comfort my mother?" Gu Mingxiu blinked in confusion, tilted her head slightly and looked behind her, "Hmm... Didn't my father come with his mother to see Yiyi and Xiu'er? ”

The person standing beside her was silent for a moment and smiled: "Your father he..." An Li pondered for a moment and pulled out a weak smile, "Your father is too busy, he..." Xiu'er, you have to be considerate. ”

Gu Mingxiu pursed her lips and her eyes fell on the maid on the side: "Mo'er, you say, what happened at dinner?" ”

"What's the matter somewhere?" An Li looked at Mo'er, the personal maid who had served him for many years, and shook his head slightly to signal silence.

Gu Mingxiu glanced at An Li, turned her gaze to Mo'er with a smile, and her tone became more and more light: "What my father said, what Aunt Qing said, what my second sister said, tell me word by word." ”

obviously felt that her daughter's mood had faded, and An Li couldn't help but feel sad in her heart. Gu Mingxiu has been in the temple for many years, and his temperament is more sensible than that of children of the same generation, but he is also well-behaved and caring. And in the past few days, An Li could clearly feel the changes in Gu Mingxiu, and the moment he returned to Yangzhou, the strangeness gradually expanded.

At this moment, Gu Mingxiu's tone was lightened, and the whole person had a sense of oppression, which actually made An Li stunned for a moment.

Mo'er has been with An Li for many years, and she also likes this lady very much. She is a subordinate, so she can't say no, but when Gu Mingxiu asked, Mo'er felt that there was no need to add fuel and vinegar to herself, and she could also make the fourth lady feel the grievances of her wife.

She was blessed and told all the things that happened at dinner.

An Li sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the sleeping Gu Liyi, his eyes gloomy. Gu Mingxiu glanced at Mo'er calmly, turned her head to look at An Li, and said softly: "Mother, Yiyi won't wake up tonight, we'll come back tomorrow." I've been really busy these days, so I'll have a good rest tonight, otherwise I won't have time to take care of Yiyi, okay? ”

Catching up with his daughter's concerned eyes, An Li smiled: "Okay, you can rest early." ”

"Mo'er, when you go back, prepare some pastries for your mother, you must not be full for dinner." Gu Mingxiu helped An Li to get up, looked at her with a smile, and said a little naughty in his tone, "You can't prepare more, lest your mother eat and accumulate food, and you will have to lie down with Yiyi tomorrow." ”

She blinked her eyes, very innocent, and her tone was full of seriousness, which made An Li feel sad, nodded her nose with a smile, and sighed: "You." ”

Seeing An leave far away, Agarwood accompanied Gu Mingxiu to the other side.

"In the past few days, you have to pay attention to the people in the two courtyards of Zhilan Courtyard and Qingyuan, especially the things sent to your mother." Gu Mingxiu walked on the path and spoke lightly.

Zhilan Courtyard is Gu Changge's courtyard, and Qingyuan is Dong Qing's courtyard.

"Yes." Agarwood replied, and she asked in a low voice, "Don't you need to pay attention to the master?" ”

Judging from Fang Cai's conversation, the master of the Gu Mansion did not value An Li and An Li's two daughters very much, and was even a little impatient. Agarwood thought to herself, the situation in the Gu Mansion was even more complicated than she thought.

Gu Mingxiu glanced at her and smiled faintly: "Why bother, my father won't do it yet." After all, I haven't been in the way of his eyes for the time being, and I haven't stood in the way of Gu Changge. ”

Agarwood frowned and said puzzledly: "Girl, you are the Miss of the Gu Mansion." ”

"Yes, but if the mother dies and Aunt Qing straightens up, then won't Gu Changge become the eldest daughter?" Gu Changge replied quickly, her tone was brisk, but it made people feel complicated.

Staring at the Mingxin Pavilion not far away, he saw Mo Zhu guarding the door with a lamp in his hand, Gu Mingxiu blinked, and his tone was light: "Besides, for Gu Qingyuan, I may not be his daughter." ”

Agarwood couldn't help but look at Gu Mingxiu when she said this, and surprise flashed on her face.

Gu Mingxiu didn't speak again.

Gu Qingyuan didn't like his mother, and even hated his mother very much. At the beginning, Gu Qingyuan married An Li, but he took a fancy to General An's Mansion behind An Li, thinking that he could rely on the General's Mansion to rise to the top. However, General An didn't look down on him, and even broke off the father-daughter relationship with An Li, and was unwilling to help him.

General An's contempt was a shame for Gu Qingyuan, and he turned this shame into hatred for An Li. I thought that General An would not be so ruthless, and he would take care of a little bit of flesh and blood, and Gu Qingyuan would be able to get by with An Li. But now that he and An Li have two daughters, General An's family has never softened at all.

An Li has no backer behind him, and for Gu Qingyuan, there is no need to act.

He hated An Li, and he didn't even want to make a show when An Li went home. Because of disgust, I don't even want to admit it with my two children, and I don't want to love it.

Gu Qingyuan doted on Dong Qing and also doted on her three children.

For him, Gu Mingxiu and Gu Liyi were never his daughters, they were props he could use, and they were the stepping stones he used to pave the way for Gu Changge.

But who paved the way for whom in this life? Father, you have to be careful.

Gu Mingxiu had a good night's sleep.

When she woke up the next day, An Li accompanied Mrs. Gu to recite the scriptures, and Dong Qing sent someone to tell her that her husband had been invited, and he would come to the house to teach in a few days. The people all sent over, and it became a little lively when they heard it outside.

Mo Zhu waited for her to make up, and Mu Lan came in and told her that Gu Liyi had woken up.

There was a black peach hairpin lying on the dresser, and Mo Zhu was about to pick up and tie up Gu Mingxiu's hair, when he saw that Gu Mingxiu had already picked up the wooden hairpin and played with it in his hand. Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and her expression was rather cold.

Mo Zhu thought about it for a while, and found another hosta from the jewelry box and inserted it for her.

Mu Lan stood aside and watched, and Agarwood walked in and said in a low voice: "Girl, those two have already gone to the Lijin Courtyard." ”

The two sisters in her mouth were naturally Gu Changge's two sisters.

Mo Zhu frowned: "Girl, let's go over quickly, the second miss and the sixth miss are not good at stubble, don't let them teach the fifth miss badly, and ruin your relationship with the fifth miss indiscriminately." ”

She followed Gu Mingxiu that day, and she really saw Gu Changge's ability. Gu Xiaodie is unforgiving, unreasonable and nonsense, the two sisters are talking a few words in and out of her family Miss everywhere, Mo Zhu deeply thinks that Gu Changge is different from the rumors outside, he is a difficult person to get along with.

Gu Mingxiu was not in a hurry, just played with the hairpin, and said lightly: "Mozhu, I have never asked you, why did Yiyi fall into the water that day?" ”

Hearing this, Mo Zhu's face changed, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "The girl told me to come back and look at Miss Five, but that day Miss Five thought I was an eyesore and let Miss Six's maid drag me away." I...... I am not doing well, so I ask the girl to punish me. ”

"Keep combing your hair." Gu Mingxiu said lightly, Mo Zhu was slightly stunned, and saw Gu Mingxiu raise his eyes and glanced out through the window, the meaning was unknown. Agarwood instantly realized that she was the closest to the window, and silently made a lip shape: someone was eavesdropping.

Mo Zhu's expression froze, and he glanced at Mu Lan. Agarwood didn't speak, just slapped the window, and the crisp sound of the porcelain bottle breaking immediately came from outside the courtyard, accompanied by a small female voice.

"Muran." Gu Mingxiu said coldly.

Mulan quickly ran out, and her scolding could be heard outside. Gu Mingxiu sneered and said coldly: "Guess how many of the people sent by Aunt Qing can be used?" ”

Mo Zhu got up and continued to comb her hair, thought about last night's observations, and shook his head: "The slave thinks that it can't be used." ”

When I went out of the room after breakfast, I saw several people kneeling in the courtyard, all of whom bowed their heads and did not dare to speak. Mu Lan stood on the steps with a straight face: "How many things are there for the girl?" There are so many of you who smash them at will, and you only divided them yesterday, and you dare to be sloppy today, how can you be expected to serve the girl? ”

An Li has no temper and treats people gently, which also makes these people think that the fourth lady is easy to deal with. Mo Zhu glanced at the kneeling person on the ground, and sneered slightly in his heart.

Anyway, they are not their own people, and they just use this group of disloyal people to establish their own girl's prestige, so as not to make people think that she has lived in the temple for many years and has no temper, and she is very easy to bully.

Today, the warm light is warm, and the small pond is murmuring, but you can take off your cloak and change into thick clothes.

Withdrawing his gaze from the person who was cleaning outside the courtyard, Gu Changge looked at the person sitting in front of him gently: "You look much better today, and it's not bad to think of that prescription." ”

Gu Liyi just looked at her, but didn't speak.

"Fifth sister, it's all my fault....Are you angry?" Gu Xiaodie saw that Gu Liyi didn't speak, and her expression was a little anxious and worried, "Yesterday, the second sister has been guarding you, she accompanied the fourth sister to visit her grandmother, and she will come to guard you after the fourth sister goes back to rest, don't scare her." ”

As if touched by a certain word, Gu Liyi glanced at Gu Xiaodie in a daze, and then said softly: "I'm fine." ”

"It's okay if you're okay," Gu Changge breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "It's all Xiaodie's fault this time." ”

"Where is my fault!" Gu Xiaodie was anxious when she heard this, and said unconvinced, "If it weren't for the fact that the fourth sister had to have so many people around her when she came back, and no one cared about us, it wouldn't have caused the fifth sister to fall into the water." Come back, come back, where do you want so many people to serve. ”

Gu Changge shook his head: "Where can you say that?" The fourth sister has just returned home, there must be a lot of people who are not used to it, how can you blame her? ”

Gu Xiaodie pursed her lips: "Second sister, you will think so kindly." She is very capable, she can steal your reputation, where will she not get used to it. She leaned back, hugged Gu Liyi's arm and complained, "The fourth sister has always been accompanied by her mother, just leave us in the house." When she bullied Aunt Qing yesterday, she was fierce, fifth sister, didn't you see it. ”
