Chapter 13 Choice
It's different from the cold look when I usually see her.
Gu Qinghuan still remembers that that day, Gu Jingxing's face finally had a little more human touch, but it was so sad that she didn't even notice it at the time, but tasted it after repeated memories in the later years, scared.
The first time she noticed it, she thought it was ridiculous.
How could the eldest brother, who has a cold face all day long, is confident in everything, and is neither humble nor arrogant in front of the emperor, nor frightened by humiliation?
But later, she kept recalling that scene, and finally determined that her brother was really afraid at that time.
It's just that by the time she realized this, it was too late.
Her brother is dead.
On a bright spring morning.
I still remember that at that time, Gu Jingxing squatted in front of her and asked softly, "Qinghuan, are you afraid?" ā
This brother, who had a cold face to her for eight years, suddenly reached out and touched her head, and after being opened by her, he was not annoyed, but said softly: "Don't be afraid." ā
After speaking, Gu Jingxing got up, left her with a broad and tall back, walked out with a steady step, and pushed open the door.
Then, there was a lot of noise.
Gu Qinghuan shrank in the corner for a long time, and didn't dare to look out, but gradually heard the sound of the dispute outside.
Soon, the two officials entered the house, different from the ferocity that ran rampant outside before, but they were still polite to her, and took her out of the Gu Mansion-
A long, long time later, Gu Qinghuan knew that after Gu Jingxing left the room that day, he faced the group of officials who were holding chicken feathers as arrows, and threatened and intimidated each other with words.
He quietly stuffed the jade pendant that he liked the most, which he had worn on his body for more than ten years and was priceless, to the leader.
Under coercion and temptation, this group of arrogant officials became more honest.
Otherwise, the official who broke into the house that day would not have been so polite to her.
Maybe, in the face of her, a noble girl who has fallen into trouble, she will say something unbearable, and even rub the oil to get started-
When she was in the theater, she didn't hear similar examples.
At that time, Gu Qinghuan knew that the eldest brother, who usually looked at the estranged brother, used his way to protect himself when he didn't know.
It's a pity that everything is too late.
Even if she understands and regrets it, but no one is there, she wants to make up for it, but she has no chance!
Seeing the vague figure approaching, Gu Qinghuan's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't hold back any longer, tears burst out of his eyes.
"Miss!" Zhiqiu was frightened, this, what's wrong?
It's fine on the road, how can you ...... as soon as you come back?
Could it be because I was framed three days ago, I felt too wronged, and I held it back until now, and after seeing the eldest young master, I finally couldn't help it?
That damn mastermind!
Zhiqiu just wants to pull that guy out and beat him up now!
Dare to let Miss be so aggrieved!
Except when Miss was eight years old, she had never seen Miss so sad and helpless!
Ahead, Gu Jingxing walked over with a cold face, but when he saw Gu Qinghuan crying suddenly, a trace of panic flashed on his face, and he hurriedly quickened his pace, he forgot the purpose of his coming to pick up Gu Qinghuan, and said: "What's wrong?" Did anyone bully you? ā
Hearing this familiar mellow voice, Gu Qinghuan's tears fell even more fiercely, and she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe it, she shook her head: "It's not ......"
"It'sā"
Gu Jingxing's eyes were sharp, and when he saw a little red on Gu Qinghuan's sleeve, he grabbed her wrist and twisted his eyebrows: "Blood? ā
While speaking, Gu Jingxing swept his cold eyes to Zhiqiu on the side, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you encounter?" ā
"Slave maid......" Zhiqiu was just about to speak.
"It's a long story."
Gu Qinghuan interrupted Zhiqiu, she finally stopped crying, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Brother, I have to go to see my grandmother now, I have something to say." ā
"Grandmother ......"
Only then did Gu Jingxing come back to his senses from his worries, and remembered the purpose of him coming out alone to find Gu Qinghuan, "You can't go to see grandmother." ā
Gu Qinghuan was not angry, and asked calmly, "Why?" ā
Seeing Gu Qinghuan's indifferent appearance, Gu Jingxing was surprised in his heart, he thought that Gu Qinghuan would make trouble with him.
Younger sister......
Something is different.
Gu Jingxing's eyes were a little more probing, and he said: "You have already caused a lot of trouble to the family by sneaking away from Guining Temple this time, I know that you want to beg your grandmother to let you go home, but you must return to Ning Temple now before things get serious, I have prepared a carriage for you, just stop at the back door, you go with me......"
"Brother." Gu Qinghuan interrupted Gu Jingxing's words.
Gu Jingxing paused slightly, and suddenly reacted to one thing-
Gu Qinghuan has already called him brother three times!
This......
How can it be?
Although Gu Qinghuan is his sister, it is natural to call him a brother.
But since the incident seven years ago, Gu Qinghuan has never called him again, even if there is something to avoid, at most it is a "hey" word!
Today it is so unusual......
At the risk of being beaten by Gu Qinghuan, Gu Jingxing reached out and stroked Gu Qinghuan's forehead: "You...... You okay? Did you feel any fright on the way back? ā
Gu Qinghuan: "......" Why didn't she find out before, her brother was so ......
Make people want to take a punch?
"Brother, I'm not kidding you."
Gu Qinghuan took a deep breath and took Gu Jingxing's hand away, "I'm going to see my grandmother." ā
"Nope."
Gu Jingxing rejected her again, although she was dizzy by Gu Qinghuan's words of "brother", Gu Jingxing still tried to keep her sanity and not be led away by her sister.
"There are a lot of people in Yunmengzhai, and you will only be wronged if you go."
Gu Jingxing said in a deep voice: "Qing Huan, you pushed the daughter of the Marquis of Wuding into the water, if it wasn't for the father who came to apologize in person, the Marquis of Wuding would have gone to the Holy Lord to complain!" Grandmother asked you to go to Guining Temple to face the wall, but also to protect you, if you stay in the imperial capital, you will be targeted, resentful and revenge-"
"Brother."
Gu Qinghuan gently interrupted Gu Jingxing, and his eyes, which were still glowing with residual water, stared straight at him, as if they wanted to see him through.
It could be seen that Gu Jingxing was a little flustered.
At this time, Gu Qinghuan's calm voice without emotion sounded in his ears, and he couldn't tell what it was like: "Do you want to make the same choice as seven years ago?" ā
Gu Jingxing was shocked, the indifferent expression on his face was almost shattered, and his pupils trembled slightly: "Qinghuan ......"
There was a deep sense of guilt in his voice.
"I don't want to cry out to you like I did seven years ago, I know that no matter what I say, you will always only do what you want."
Gu Qinghuan's eyes were calm, "But I still have to say - it wasn't me who pushed Miss Chu into the water, brother, if you believe me, don't send me to Guining Temple, take me to Yunmengzhai to find my grandmother." ā
After speaking, Gu Qinghuan stopped speaking, and stood quietly in front of Gu Jingxing, looking like he was following Gu Jingxing's disposal.
Gu Jingxing looked at Gu Qinghuan in front of him, maybe he had been running around for a long time, his little face was pale and tired, but he had an unyielding strength, and he looked at himself and didn't retreat, which made Gu Jingxing feel a little distressed.
Is it to send her to Guining Temple? Still is......
