Chapter 272: The Sisters (Part 1)
Gu Mingzhu looked at Gu Mingyu, who seemed to have changed into a person, was taken aback, nodded and said, "Yu Niang, get up and sit down and talk." ”
Gu Mingyu lowered his head and got up, and sat down on the couch on the side, but he never raised his head, and only spoke in a low voice for a long time: "County Lord......"
He hesitated, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say it.
Gu Mingzhu looked at her lightly, and didn't speak, waiting for her to continue, but to see what the General's Mansion was forcing her to say.
It's just that Gu Mingyu hesitated for a long time before he said softly: "Is the county lord okay in the palace?" I know it's too late for you to enter the palace, so I can't come over to say goodbye to you......"
Her voice grew softer, her head still buried low, and she couldn't see her expression.
Gu Mingzhu paused for a moment, and slowly showed a smile: "It's all good, thank you Yu Niang for remembering." ”
Gu Mingyu raised his head at this time, and the smile on his pale and thin face was as stiff as a paper shell: "You shouldn't have entered the palace, the people in this mansion are sinister, and there are calculations everywhere, but the palace is even more dangerous, and if you are not careful, you are afraid that it will cause a big disaster, you just want to avoid them, and you should not enter the palace." ”
Gu Mingzhu didn't expect her to say such a thing, and looked at her for a while before smiling slightly: "Yu Niang is different now than before." ”
Gu Mingyu's smile became more and more cold: "It's nothing different, it's just that I understand it more." ”
"The old lady asked you to come over, she must have something to say to me, maybe she asked you to catch up with the old days." Gu Mingzhu smiled a little kinder, and instructed the maid to bring the pastries that Mama Han had just taught to make to Gu Mingyu.
Gu Mingyu's smile slowly dissipated, a look of disgust flashed on his face, and he said in a low voice: "They have their plans, but I don't want to help, my mouth grows on myself, is it possible that they can still force me to say." ”
Having said that, her face was bitter.
Before coming, Mrs. Gu summoned Gu Mingyu to Songshou Courtyard, and carefully instructed her, among the four sisters of the Gu family, Gu Mingyue was still in Qinglian Temple, Gu Mingli hurt her face again, now only she can come to the county lord's mansion to talk to Gu Mingzhu, and she must persuade Gu Mingzhu well, but she can't forget the nurturing grace of the Gu family once she gains power, and she will have to rely on the support of the Gu family to have a long time in the future.
Looking at Gu Mingyu's reluctant look, Old Madam Gu turned even colder: "The mansion is not raising you for nothing, you are all useless, you can't even earn back the mansion with a little face, what use do you want!" ”
and Mama Sun also came to her yard with her maidservant in person, begging her to come over and talk to Gu Mingzhu about letting Gu Mingyue go back to the house, saying that it was her aunt's meaning, she was so sick that she didn't expect anything else, so she looked forward to letting Gu Mingyue serve her filial piety in front of her.
But A-Niang never thought that she was also her own daughter, she hadn't been to the side hospital these days, she had never sent anyone to ask, and she didn't know how tormented she was.
After all, one is her aunt and the other is her own sister, but she has never cared about her life and death.
Gu Mingzhu looked at Gu Mingyu's lowered eyes and smiled indifferently: "Yu Niang's temperament is still so refreshing, but seeing that you have lost a lot of time these days, I think it is because of my wife's illness." ”
"It's just that the lady is sick to this point, I'm afraid I can't plan for you, Yueniang is cultivating in the Qinglian Temple again, and the old lady is afraid that she is too busy taking care of the house and has no time to be distracted, you have to plan more for yourself." Gu Mingzhu looked at her, "If you have any difficulties, you might as well go and tell your father, although he ......"
"But after all, I am looking forward to your well, after all, I will not be so confused that I will not help you when I look at you in embarrassment, with him, the old lady and those will have scruples after all." Gu Mingzhu's smile faded a little, "It's just that you still have to pay more attention to many things, but you can't be as reckless and impulsive as before, after all, this life is lived by yourself, and you can't be at the mercy of others." I'm in the palace, I'm afraid I can't help you if there's anything, but if you need it, you can have someone deliver the news to this house, and if I know, I'll also come up with ideas for you. ”
Gu Mingyu sat there stiffly, listening to Gu Mingzhu say these words, she didn't raise her head for a long time, but her shoulders were gently shaking, as if she was suppressing something.
She didn't expect to hear these words, these words were originally very common between sisters, but she never thought that it would be Gu Mingzhu who told her that after seeing the matter of Luo and Gu Mingyue clearly, it would be Gu Mingzhu who reached out to give her warmth and comfort.
She held back the tears in her eyes, and only raised her head for a long time, and whispered with red eyes: "Thank you Lord County, you still don't have to, I don't want to embarrass you." ”
She was just reckless in the past, not stupid, and she also knew that if she was closer to Gu Mingzhu, the more she would become the handle in the hands of Old Madam Gu and Luo, and she would make it difficult for Gu Mingzhu.
She slowly straightened up: "The county lord must be careful in the palace, I, I will retire first." ”
She got up and curtled her knees, and quietly withdrew with her maidservant.
Gu Mingzhu didn't call her again, just watched her go out.
"County Lord, the third lady doesn't seem to be quite the same." Xiao Kui blinked at Gu Mingyu who was walking away, and said softly.
Gu Mingzhu sighed lightly: "I'm afraid that I have been wronged over there these days." ”
As soon as she came in, Gu Mingzhu saw that she was still wearing an old dress, and the jewelry on her head was not as fashionable as before, and it seemed that this season's new clothes had not been made.
After all, Luo's illness became like that, and he was deeply disgusted and despised by Mrs. Gu, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect herself in the mansion, Gu Mingyu's temperament is straightforward and will not be fake, Mrs. Gu has never liked her, with the situation in the mansion over there, Gu Mingyu is afraid that she is the most wronged.
Mama Han also came in at this time, and when she heard Gu Mingzhu's words, she also sighed: "The third lady is also a pitiful, her mother and sister are like that, and no one really takes care of her, and I don't know what situation she will fall into in the future." ”
The county lord was also helpless in the past, but after all, there was still an identity, and Mrs. Gu and Luo didn't dare to practice it openly, but the third lady ...... Thinking of this, Mama Han shook her head, and said that the status of the Gu family's lady is noble and everyone envies, who knows that the hardships in this may not be as beautiful as it seems.
Gu Mingzhu frowned and didn't speak, but she also thought of it, with Old Madam Gu's temperament, if she knew that Gu Mingyu was useless, she didn't know how Gu Mingyu would be sent down for the sake of small profits, but she was afraid that her life would be ruined.
