The person who came was Zhou Yu beside Old Madam Gu, which was not unexpected by Gu Yu.

It's just that this person ...... Is it really Zhou Yu?

Gu Yu tightened his brows, and silently put away the twenty pieces of Saeki paper that he had written, and at this time, Zhou Yu's voice came from outside the door and asked, "Is the eleventh lady still inside?" ”

"In ...... In ......" answered her by the trembling voices of two servants.

"Eleven ladies are kneeling in the ancestral hall, but you are lazy and sleeping here, is this your duty as a servant?"

Zhou Yu's voice suddenly turned sharp.

The two servants were so frightened that they confessed one after another, and the sound of their palms came from there.

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, and was about to walk towards the ancestral hall as soon as she took a step, but saw Gu Yu walking out with Miao Wei's support.

Zhou Yu's eyes quickly glanced at Gu Yu's face, but seeing that his face was pale and slightly haggard, it was obvious that he hadn't slept well, and asked suspiciously: "Did the eleventh lady really kneel here all night?" ”

Gu Yu hadn't spoken yet, but Miao Wei replied with red eyes: "My lady hasn't slept all night, and even her legs are weak, why is she still asking like this?" Do you suspect that my lady is lazy? After saying that, he cried profusely.

Zhou Yu suddenly raised her eyebrows, revealing a face full of displeasure, she was the old man next to Mrs. Gu, and no one in the entire Gu Mansion dared to speak to her like this, let alone a little slave beside a concubine.

If there is a master, there is a servant.

However, it was inconvenient to attack at this time, and Zhou Yu turned her attention to Gu Yu again.

"I don't know if the third lady punished the lady for copying the scriptures, but has she finished copying them?" She asked again.

Gu Yu asked Miaowei to hand over a thick stack of Saeki paper to Zhou Yu's hand, and Zhou Yu saw that the paper was densely covered with fonts, and it looked very sloppy, and she didn't realize that the corners of her mouth showed a hint of schadenfreude.

She also put away these Saeki papers, glanced at Gu Yu again, and said with a smile: "Okay, the old lady asked me to pass on a word, the lady sincerely admits her mistakes, she is very pleased, and hopes that the eleventh lady can learn poetry and etiquette well in the future, and learn how to be a person with the tenth lady, the eleventh lady is also about to reach the age of the lady, maybe the old lady can still be the master to find a good family for the lady!" ”

After speaking, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she handed the Saeki paper in her hand to a servant woman beside her, then raised her arms flat in front of her with her sleeves, turned around and walked forward with small steps.

After Zhou Yu left, Gu Yu also sank his face and walked back to his Dusk Pavilion, but when he just stepped into his bedroom, it was dark in front of him, and his whole body fell to the ground.

There was an exclamation in his ears, and he was in a hurry.

Gu Yu also fell into the boundless darkness, and he didn't know how long he slept until the sound of the recitation of the "Praboruo Heart Sutra" came into his ears, and the night seemed to be torn apart, and a ray of dawn shone like a bright lamp.

Gu Yu walked in the direction where the voice came from, she held on to the stairs as if she had passed through a deep corridor, and her feet fluttered like floating clouds, making her move forward quickly, until a door in front of her opened widely, allowing her to see a house standing on top of a rockery.

This house, she knew, was the Mulan Pavilion where her biological mother, Shen, was imprisoned.

So, she opened the door and rushed into the room again, only to see a man with long hair draped and dressed in a gorgeous black gold silk robe standing in front of Shen with his back to her, and Shen's limbs were still shackled with iron shackles, and her hair, like seaweed, half covered and half covered her pale and delicate face covered in blood.

"Isn't there nothing wrong with saying it? I can still set you free, and let you be as freshly dressed and angry as before, and the end of the world. ”

Suddenly, a hoarse voice like Zhong Xin's low whistle sounded in her ears.

Gu Yu frowned unconsciously, and slowly approached the man with her back to her, and just as she was about to walk in front of the man, she saw Shen Shi raise her head and laugh loudly, this laugh was so hideous, and so grief-stricken, like a ghost crying wolf's cry and crying low.

At this moment, the man suddenly leaned forward, waved his long sleeves forward, and grabbed one hand tightly around Shen's neck.

"Shen Jiaoniang, do you think that if you pretend to be crazy and stupid, I can't help you? Don't forget, you also have a daughter......

Shen's face, who was strangled by his neck, turned red in an instant, his pupils gradually bulged, and a large area of white was revealed in his eye sockets.

Stop it! Stop!

Gu Yu shouted in her heart, raised her feet and strode towards the man, but her feet slipped, and her body floated like a piece of paper.

"Lady, lady, wake up!"

Someone was calling her, someone was pushing her arm, she seemed to fall from the sky, a heart seemed to jump out of her heart, and the boundless fear made her sit up suddenly.

"Lady, are you having nightmares again?"

Close to her ears was Chen Yu's voice, Gu Yu took a deep breath, barely frightened, there seemed to be smoke curling in front of her, she raised her eyes to look at the Ruijin incense burner that was floating with wisps of cigarettes.

"Sister, remove this incense burner!" She said.

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, as if she wanted to persuade her, but she saw Gu Yu looking at her, her eyes were full of coldness and stubbornness.

"Take it off, I don't like it!" She said again, her tone resolute and unresistible.

Chen Yu said yes at this time, and Ling Miaowei moved the incense burner out.

"Close the door!" After Miaowei went out, Gu Yu ordered again.

Chen Yu knew what she wanted to ask, said yes, went to close the door, and ordered that no one in the courtyard should come in and disturb them.

"Now, you can say it, right?"

When Chen Yu turned around, Gu Yu asked straight to the point.

Chen Yu's face was suddenly covered with sadness and sorrow, she walked in front of Gu Yu, suddenly bent her knees, knelt on the ground and saluted Gu Yu, before she raised her head and replied: "Lady, before you say it, you must promise me one thing first." ”

Judging from Chen Fei's solemn face, what she asked her to agree to must not be a trivial matter, since Chen Yu knelt down and begged each other, she expected that she would not be able to do it.

So how serious is what happened to Shen, and what kind of secret is hidden?

Gu Yu looked at Chen Yu and paused for a long time before replying, "Okay!" I promise you. ”

Chen Yu nodded tearfully, raised her eyelashes again, her eyes became solemn, and she said: "Lady, no matter what I say today, Lady must bury herself deep in her heart, as if she had never heard anything." ”

Gu Yu still wanted to listen to her words, but when she stopped speaking, she couldn't help but question: "That's it?" ”

After Chen Yu was silent for a moment, she suddenly gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Don't go to save your biological mother!" ”

Gu Yu frowned, and then continued, "Lady, you are just an unfavored concubine in the mansion now, with a low status, you can't save your aunt!" After that, he changed his words and said, "Don't blame her, even if she goes crazy, I still hope that you can live well." ”

It turned out to be for her good? Gu Yu smiled bitterly...... Is Shen really good for her?

After being silent for a while, Gu Yu said hello again.

Seeing that her expression was calm and sincere, Chen Yu's heart seemed to relax a little, but when the words were about to come out of her mouth, the endless sadness and melancholy came to her heart again, making her unable to declare it for a while.

Gu Yu got up and walked in front of her, stretched out his hands and held Chen Yu's thin hands, pulled her up, and said in a low voice: "Say it!" Sister, I said that I will live well in the future, and I know how to make myself live well...... And I've seen her and almost died at her hands, what could be worse than that? ”

"So, you don't have to worry about me."

Chen Yu looked at her, her heart ached, and she hurriedly shook her head: "No, there is nothing worse, lady, in fact, you should have been ...... is the concubine of the Gu family, and your aunt is the wife of Lord Sanlang. ”

Gu Yu was slightly startled, so he listened to her continue, "Originally, your mother and Gu Sanlang were also your father who made a marriage contract, and the two families also exchanged Geng posts, the Tao is a match made in heaven, just wait for the lady and Lu to marry, but I didn't expect that on the day of the marriage in the church, the Gu family actually sent a letter to the lady, saying that the lady 'has no noble fate, and if you are noble, you will not be Gu Sanlang's wife, so she lowered the lady to a noble concubine and carried her into the door from the back door of the Gu mansion. ”

"Enter the back door of the Gu Mansion, is A-Niang also willing?" Gu Yu couldn't help but answer, with the proud nature of the Shen family, how could he be willing to be a concubine.

Chen Yu shook her head, closed her eyes as if she was heartbroken, and after a moment of relief, she continued in a deep voice: "At that time, your mother's dowry had all been carried into the Gu Mansion from the main gate, but it gave the Yu family enough face, and your mother, because she read the letter that the Gu family gave her, suddenly became silent, and recognized the Gu family's arrangement of taking his wife as a concubine. ”

"Why? Did A-Niang and Yu marry into the Gu family together? After that, Gu Yu shook his head again, "No, A-Niang is not married to ......."

A concubine is not considered to be married, but this is obviously a humiliation, the Gu family is a first-class scholar in Wu County, how can they do this kind of thing of taking their wives as concubines?

In the current era, good concubines can be corrected, and Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty also opened a precedent for placing the left and right wives, but he categorically did not reduce his wife to a concubine.

Chen Yu nodded: "Yes, on the same day, the Gu Mansion held a wedding, and it was the Yu family who wore a white silk wedding dress and worshiped Gu Sanlang instead of your mother." ”

In today's world, because the scholars advocate the Xuan, the royal family and the scholars take relatives, women are wearing white yarn, white hubs, white juan, and purple tassels, which is also the fashion of the times that the scholars pay attention to "based on nothing, and returning to the truth" to pursue fresh and elegant.

"Why? Why would A-Niang agree? Gu Yu turned to the previous question.

But it is also the most critical issue.

And Chen Yu, who was asked this question, her face was even more heavy and heavy, and a piece of water vapor came out of her eyes.

"Because of your maternal grandfather, your aunt was forced to make a deal with the Gu family." She said.

"What deal?" Gu Yu asked after him.
