Chapter 1: Start Again
Gu Qinghuan clutched the edge of the copper basin tightly and looked at the reflection reflected in the water.
A fourteen-year-old girl is the age of a flower, and her appearance is as delicate as a flower.
Eyebrows are far away, a pair of peach blossom eyes are full of affection, looking forward to brilliance.
Qiong nose and red lips, snow skin cream......
When I was young, although I didn't have the mature style ten years later, I had a bright and flamboyant style that I never saw again.
But a year later, her father and brother were framed and beheaded, and she was stripped of her lowly status and reduced to a drama.
Ning Youwei, who will soon sit in the position of the superintendent of the East Factory, joked to his colleagues after getting drunk, using that tone that seemed to be pity and cruelty: "The eldest lady of the Ning family is so graceful, if she is raised in the deep boudoir and is her eldest lady, it will be first-class, but if you enter a lowly place like Pingle Pavilion...... Scold. β
Later, it was really said by the eunuch.
She closed her eyes, and what came to her mind was a pair of teasing eyes under the stage of Pingle Pavilion!
Miss Jiang, who used to eat at the same table and flattered her, sat under the stage and smiled meaninglessly: "Your face is very similar to a friend of mine in the past, I want to reward you more!" β
Then, there was the sound of the copper plate falling to the ground.
Ding, ding......
One after another, beating on her heart like thunder and a drum!
At the end of the play, she had to force a smile and say, "Thank you for the reward." β
The fingers under the wide sleeves pinched the palm!
Humiliation!
After another two years, she relied on this "first-class and first-class" face to climb all the way up from the bottom of the theater where anyone can step on it......
In the end, even Miss Jiang and her father could only snot and tears in the end, kneeling at her feet like a mourning dog, begging her to spare the lives of the entire Jiang family!
The memories of her previous life, one after another, flashed in her mind, and the quenched golden hairpin that was finally fixed in her hand penetrated the heart of Prince Si Xiuyuan, and a large piece of blood stained her sight!
Then, she bit through the poison pill hidden in her mouth......
"Squeak......
Behind him, the wooden door of the guest hall was pushed open from the outside.
Gu Qinghuan suddenly woke up from his memories.
The next moment, as if he had been as skilled as after thousands of exercises, Gu Qinghuan's body was relaxed and natural in an instant.
All the strange expressions converged and turned into calm, so that people could not make mistakes.
She turned her head and saw a woman about eighteen or nineteen years old in a blue skirt walk in.
The woman looked mediocre, with a pair of apricot eyes but smart and lively, making people close, she was carrying a food box in her hand, and when she came in, she saw Gu Qinghuan standing on the ground in single clothes and barefoot, she was surprised: "Miss! β
Hurriedly put the food box on the table on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to help Gu Qinghuan to the side of the bed, and the woman said: "Miss, the slave knows that you are angry in your heart, but no matter how angry you are, you can't joke with your body!" It's only early spring, and it's still cold, so what if it's cold......
helped Gu Qinghuan to sit on the edge of the bed, and the woman went to get a clean handkerchief to wipe her feet, even a speck of dust would wipe it clean for Gu Qinghuan, extremely meticulous.
Gu Qinghuan lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the woman, and there was a trace of complexity in his faint eyes.
This is one of her personal maids, Zhiqiu, who was brought back to the Hou Mansion by her mother before her death and specially trained for her.
In his previous life, because of the change when he was eight years old, he became angry with Zhiqiu, who spoke for his father and brother, and became estranged from her.
But Zhiqiu is still loyal to her.
Until death, it has not changed in the slightest.
It's someone you can trust.
"Zhiqiu."
Gu Qinghuan opened his mouth: "Clean up and go home." β
Zhiqiu had just finished wiping Gu Qinghuan's feet, and when he heard this, his hand shook, and the handkerchief fell to the ground.
There was no time to pick it up, so Zhiqiu hugged Gu Qinghuan's calf tightly for the first time, as if he was afraid that Gu Qinghuan would pull out his legs and run away.
She raised her head and persuaded: "Miss, the slave knows that you complained about the old lady sending you to Guining Temple, but the old lady is also for your good, after all, there was such a thing at your banquet, and the old lady was also afraid that you would be pushed into the storm, so she sent you to Guining Temple to avoid trouble......
That was three days ago.
On March 7, Gu Qinghuan's banquet.
As the daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an, this banquet gathered almost the powerful ladies of the entire imperial capital, and it was very lively.
But it's such a grand banquet, and an ugly thing happened!
Even after many years, Gu Qinghuan closed his eyes and still remembered the scene at that time-
On that day and the feast, she was the protagonist, wearing the most expensive light violet silk robe in the Linlang Pavilion.
In order to complete this gorgeous costume, Linlang Pavilion also transferred ten of the best embroiderers, with exclusive top-secret embroiderers, with gold as the thread, on the long clothes secretly embroidered flowers, if there is light sprinkled on the surface of the silk, there will be dazzling golden light flashing, like the sparkling waves on the water, gorgeous flowers followed by the appearance.
Even if she didn't care much about dressing up, she showed everyone this gorgeous dress with the intention of showing off that day.
However, halfway through the banquetβ
"Gu Qinghuan!"
A piercing scream of rage, from far to near.
Gu Qinghuan raised his eyes and saw a wet figure rushing towards this side, it was actually the daughter of the Marquis of Wuding, Chu Xuan, who left the table halfway!
At this time, Chu Xuan was soaking wet, there were only one or two beads left on her head, and her hair was scattered like a female ghost, and she was extremely embarrassed!
What's going on?
Everyone was stunned.
Gu Qinghuan was also stunned.
Taking advantage of this time, Chu Xuan rushed to her and threw her to the ground!
The ladies at the table didn't react, and they saw the two fighting on the ground!
When Qiu Zhiyue pulled the two apart, Gu Qinghuan found that the clothes he liked were torn by Chu Xuan, and he couldn't help but be annoyed: "Chu Xuan! You fell into the water and were taken by a female ghost, are you crazy?! β
"Am I crazy? I think you're crazy! He actually pushed me into the water for the unpleasantness just now! β
Chu Xuan was even angrier than her, and yelled directly at her: "If my maidservant hadn't arrived in time, I would have died!" β
When the words fell, everyone was shocked.
Gu Qinghuan was also blindsided: "I'm ...... When did it push you? β
"If it's not you, who else can there be?!"
Chu Xuan said angrily: "Before I was pushed into the water, I saw a purple corner of my clothes!" Who is here today, apart from you and Cai Yuping, who else is wearing purple clothes?! Cai Yuping didn't leave, right? But you left here before and went to change your clothes! β
"I didn't!" Gu Qinghuan was shocked, but also angry-
Because she had never done anything like that!
However, the subsequent development of the matter far exceeded Gu Qinghuan's expectations.
Under Chu Xuan's clamor and the anger of Marquis Wu Ding, Gu Fu had to search on the spot, and in the end, a lot of evidence pointed directly at the same person-
Gu Qinghuan!
Although she repeatedly argued that this matter had nothing to do with her, there were all the evidence, how could anyone listen to her "quibble"?
In the end, Yong'an Hou personally came to apologize, Gu Qinghuan was sent by her grandmother, Yong'an Hou's mother, and Mrs. Gu He to Guining Temple to copy Buddhist scriptures.
Gu Qinghuan thought to herself that she was right, this matter had nothing to do with her, she was just framed!
After arriving at Guining Temple, he refused to copy the scriptures and pray for blessings, but he just made a fuss and shouted to go back, and the means of hunger strike were used, but Gu He's family in the imperial capital still refused to let go.
After tossing like this for a month, it was Zhiqiu who ghostwrote and completed the one hundred and eight Buddhist scriptures for her before she was able to return home.
It's just that when she goes back in a month, her already bad reputation will make things worse and worse!
Her father and brother were also affected because of this.
And this is only the beginning, and then there are more blows and changes......
Until she and Si Xiuyuan died together, and then opened her eyes, from the twenty-seventh year of Yongren to the twenty-first year of Yongren!
Now, how can she sit still and wait for everything to happen all over again?
If the memory of the previous life is correct, there is something about the purple corner of the clothes that Chu Xuan saw......
She's seen it too!
From the hands of Cai Yuping's personal maid Qingyao!
Although it was a long time ago, it was only a glimpse, but she was extremely sensitive to purple during that time, so she remembered it, and she hasn't forgotten it until now!
Moreover, if she guessed correctly, Qing Yao definitely did not return the dress to Cai Yuping in the past few days.
Therefore, she has to go back as soon as possible before Qing Yao disposes of the clothes and get this crucial piece of evidence to prove her innocence!
