Chapter 161: Confrontation

I found someone to remember, but it was so painful.

Until the middle of the night, Gu Qinghuan tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.

She simply got up, took a cloak and draped it over her body, and went outside the courtyard to breathe.

It's just that as soon as she pushed the door open, she saw a sneaky figure.

"Who?" Gu Qinghuan frowned.

The man's body stiffened, paused, quickly took the thing in his hand into his arms and hid it, and then turned around.

"Miss, it's a slave maid......" Zhiqiu's face appeared in Gu Qinghuan's sight.

Maybe it's because of the weakness of the heart, the apricot eyes that know the autumn are shining at the moment.

Gu Qinghuan turned her eyes and saw that Zhiqiu seemed to be holding a bottle with a lot of weight in her arms, and she was silent.

Zhiqiu noticed her gaze, his face was unnatural, and he opened his mouth to explain.

"Rest early." Gu Qinghuan didn't ask anything, and after dropping this sentence, he turned around and went back to the room.

When Zhiqiu reacted, Gu Qinghuan had already closed the door.

She subconsciously chased after her-

Maybe she was sensitive, but she really saw the disappointment in Gu Qinghuan's eyes.

Zhiqiu was a little scared.

It's not that I'm afraid that her secret will be exposed in front of Gu Qinghuan's eyes.

She was just scared, Gu Qinghuan was hurt because of her concealment.

After the incident seven years ago, Zhiqiu knows better than anyone how sensitive Gu Qinghuan is to the relationship between the people around him.

Ran to the door, but Zhiqiu hesitated.

It's true...... Do you want to say it?

Won't Miss blame her and drive her away?

Zhiqiu always remembered that day seven years ago, Gu Qinghuan angrily pushed her out of the room and slammed the door shut.

The sound of the door closing seemed to hit her heart.

To this day, Zhiqiu has not forgotten the palpitations in her heart the moment Gu Qinghuan closed the door.

It's like a patient with a heart disease, who suddenly falls ill and can't breathe in pain.

If she told Gu Qinghuan this secret that had been hidden for more than ten years, would Gu Qinghuan accept it, or would she think she was untrustworthy and push her away like she did seven years ago?

It's like a gamble.

Zhiqiu didn't know whether to knock on the door.

"Huh!"

But at this moment, the closed door was suddenly pulled open from the inside.

Zhiqiu was startled and hugged the bottle in his arms tightly, for fear of falling to the ground.

Raising his head, Zhiqiu saw Gu Qinghuan's tense face, hiding anger.

"Smack."

Gu Qinghuan grabbed her wrist, pulled her into the door, and then slammed the door shut.

"Missβ€”" Zhiqiu was surprised.

Since she came back from Guining Temple, it was the first time she had seen Gu Qinghuan look so angry and out of shape since she returned to Gu Qinghuan's side.

It's just that, without waiting for her to ask more, Gu Qinghuan snatched the bottle in her hand, strode to the table, pulled out the cork, and poured the contents into the teacup on the table.

"Boom la la ......"

A milky smell wafted out.

The warm milk was poured into the cup, and because Gu Qinghuan's movements were too urgent, a lot of them spilled on the table.

"Little, Miss......" Zhiqiu was taken aback by Gu Qinghuan's actions.

"Bang!"

Gu Qinghuan put the teacup down and said to her coldly, "Drink it!" ”

"Miss?" Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, and when she looked at Gu Qinghuan's churning undercurrent eyes, her heart beat involuntarily faster.

"Don't you like cow's milk?"

Gu Qinghuan carried the bottle with the weight of the bottle in his other hand, and said in a deep voice: "It's still hot, you specially heated it, right?" Why not drink it? Because your hot milk itself isn't meant to be drunk? ”

Zhiqiu's eyes widened: "Miss, you ......"

Opening his mouth, Zhiqiu swallowed hard, "Miss...... When did you find out? ”

Gu Qinghuan stared at her and didn't speak.

Zhiqiu felt a great pressure.

She knew that Gu Qinghuan was angry.

Very angry.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be. ”

Zhiqiu nodded, "The slave has always disliked drinking milk, and the reason why she buys that milk and makes it hot every day is not to drink it, but to ......."

As he spoke, Zhiqiu walked towards Gu Qinghuan, stretched out her hand, and spread it out in front of Gu Qinghuan's eyes.

The white and delicate palm looks like a noble lady, and it is extremely well maintained.

"Bubble hands." Zhiqiu said slowly.

Gu Qinghuan tightened his lips and stared at Zhiqiu, but he still didn't speak.

Last time it was just a glimpse, but now face to face, Zhiqiu clearly saw the disappointment in Gu Qinghuan's eyes.

And sad.

Zhiqiu's breath stagnated slightly, and she couldn't help but say, "Miss, the slave doesn't want to hide these ...... from you."

"But you've been hiding it from me." Gu Qinghuan interrupted her.

"Yes."

Zhiqiu lowered his head, "The slave will not defend herself for this." ”

Gu Qinghuan took a deep breath and asked, "Why?" ”

"Because the slave promised the lady."

Zhiqiu said: "If you don't encounter an inevitable situation, there are some things that you can't tell Miss......"

"Ma'am?"

Hearing this answer, Gu Qinghuan was slightly stunned, "You mean...... My mother? ”

Because of Hongluan's matter, Gu Qinghuan's mood has been fluctuating.

Outside the door before, seeing Zhiqiu's hidden appearance, Gu Qinghuan thought of Zhiqiu's concealment of her martial arts, and couldn't help but wonder about Zhiqiu's origin-

Even if Zhiqiu was willing to die for her in his previous life.

It's the same with Hongluan, isn't it?

Even if he is willing to die for her, he may be sent by someone else with ulterior motives.

So, there was the confrontation just now.

"Yes."

Zhiqiu nodded: "What the slave maid does, it's all Madame's orders, Miss...... I'm sorry, the slave didn't deliberately want to hide these things from you, and the slave didn't know ......."

You will be so hurt when you know the truth.

Zhiqiu regretted it a little.

Especially when she saw the pain in Gu Qinghuan's eyes.

"You...... It's my mother's dear person? Gu Qinghuan was stunned.

After calming down, Gu Qinghuan realized how reckless she was just now.

If Zhiqiu was really sent by someone else, she would expose it like this, and I am afraid that her life would be in danger.

Zhiqiu's martial arts are not comparable to Zhiyue, if Zhiqiu wants to make trouble, when Zhiyue rushes over, I'm afraid she will also be in a different place.

Fortunately, Zhiqiu is not an outsider.

It's the person her mother trained for her.

"Of course, the slave maid is the one that Madame gave to Miss."

When Zhiqiu heard this, he showed a puzzled look, "Miss...... Wouldn't it be a slave or maid who was sent by someone else......? ”

Gu Qinghuan was silent, she put the bottle in her hand on the table, sat down on the edge of the table, raised her hand to cover her forehead, and pressed her temples lightly.

After a while, she looked at Zhiqiu: "I want an explanation." ”

"Miss, it's too much!"

However, Zhiqiu didn't answer immediately, and was a little angry, "The slave trusts the young lady so much, but the young lady doesn't trust the slave at all?" ”

Gu Qinghuan knew that he was at a loss, so he did not refute.

"Miss......"

After Zhiqiu complained, he also calmed down, looked at Gu Qinghuan's depressed appearance, and couldn't help asking, "Did you encounter something?" ”

If not, how can you suddenly think about what you don't have?
