Chapter 259: Kiss Like a Stranger

But I saw that the atmosphere in Gu Mansion was different from usual, like a backlog of dark clouds, which made people breathless.

Several aunts and ladies sat in the hall, Gu Yuqing had already returned to the palace to be on duty, and Gu Zhongnian returned to Shangshu Mansion on business, and he was not at home.

I didn't see Liu Rushuang, and I was probably still recuperating in my room.

In the center sat an old lady with gray hair.

The old lady has dark skin, small and thin, sharp and sharp eyes, and a hairpin in the back of her head.

Although the body shape is not as tall as Gu Zhongnian, the contours of his facial features are somewhat similar to Gu Zhongnian, and his lips are as thin as Gu Zhongnian, which gives people the same mean and unkind feeling as Gu Zhongnian.

It's not a good stubble at first glance!

It is even more different from the old ancestor with kind eyebrows and graceful eyes.

Although Gu Zhongnian is mean and unkind, he is a filial son.

More than ten years ago, after Gu Zhongnian became Wang Xiaolian's son-in-law and made a fortune, he returned to his hometown, built a mansion, and purchased land.

He also gave a large sum of money to his brother in the country, so that his old mother and brother could live a good life.

It was only during the Qingming Festival that Gu Zhongnian went home to sweep the tomb and visit his mother by the way.

Since Liu Rushuang straightened up, every year when he returned to his hometown to sweep the graves and save his relatives, he brought back to the countryside with large bags and small bags to honor the old lady and Gu Zhongnian's brothers.

showed more respectful filial piety to the old lady in the countryside, and in the eyes of the old lady, she became a virtuous and good daughter-in-law.

Moreover, he will also take a concubine for the lord in a timely manner, which is even more rare and virtuous.

Yesterday, Gu Qingcheng left the Gu Mansion with his front foot, and the old lady came over from Qinzhou.

As soon as the old lady entered the Gu Mansion, she saw Liu Rushuang's skin and several granddaughters' different injuries, Xin Yao's hair that had been cut off, and heard Xin Yao crying that it was Gu Tingcheng who seduced and instigated His Royal Highness the King of Nan'an, so they could only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

Liu Rushuang and her granddaughters cried all night, and said that Gu Tingcheng did not abide by the women's way and did not return at night, and Gu Tingcheng really did not return all night.

The old lady was already angry.

Gu Chengcheng didn't return all night, Gu Zhongnian thought that she was back in the palace again, so he didn't care about the private affairs of Chengcheng, let his wives and concubines take care of his mother, and after picking up the wind and washing the dust for his mother that night, he went to the Shangshu Mansion to deal with official business as usual the next day.

After the old lady finished breakfast, she waited in the hall to see if Gu Qingcheng would come back.

At this moment, the girl next to the old lady was holding the family law in her hand, and she wanted to wait for Gu Qingcheng to enter the door and reward her with a dismount.

The atmosphere was solemn, as if he was waiting for Gu Chengcheng to come to the door.

As soon as Gu Qingcheng entered the door, Gu Chuyao and Gu Xinyao had a sneer on their lips; Gu Leyao lowered her face slightly, not daring to look at Gu Chengcheng.

As soon as the second aunt saw Gu Tingcheng, she gave her a look and signaled Gu Tingcheng to be cautious.

"Lord Anping, this is an old lady." Steward Li said attentively, "Call grandma quickly." ”

Steward Li is a person with vision, and he is a person who tends to be inflammatory, since Gu Tingcheng was honored as the county lord of Anping, he is respectful to Gu Tingcheng, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest on the surface.

Gu Tingcheng took Feihong Feiyan and took the initiative to kneel down and kowtow, looking at the old lady and shouting happily: "Chengcheng has seen grandma." ”

No matter what the reason, his father left him in the countryside and ignored him, but Gu Chengcheng still longed for the love of his grandparents.

Although the death of Zhi Ruoyun and Jin made Gu Tingcheng hate Liu Rushuang, he didn't even want to set foot in this family.

However, the name grandma is kind and warm after all, and Gu Qingcheng longs to get that warmth.

The old lady's eyes converged and looked at Gu Qingcheng for a long moment before she gritted her teeth and said, "Sure enough, it's a fox, you are the girl who can't die?" ”

She is very angry at her age, not only does she not have good words in her mouth, but her anger spreads around her.

Gu Qingcheng felt a stump in his heart, the smile on his face slowly faded, and he couldn't hide his disappointment and looked at the old lady.

I saw the old lady glaring at her and said sharply:

"Okay, you slippery dead girl, stabbed your sister and poisoned your eldest sister, ruined your eldest sister's life, relying on her own good looks, she seduced and instigated King Nan'an to cut her sister's hair. He also spread rumors and caused your mother to be punished so severely.

How can you be like your dead mother, your heart is like a snake and scorpion, how can my Gu Mansion tolerate such a vicious person as you! ”

The old lady slapped the table in front of her and gritted her teeth and scolded, so she immediately jumped up and personally sent Gu Qingcheng away.

Gu Tingcheng's heart suddenly chilled, the grandmother who had never met before, when they met, they didn't ask her how she had spent more than ten years, but instead scolded her.

And scolded her for being as vicious as her dead mother.

It's okay to scold her, but her mother has died in vain for so many years, and she has never been wronged, how can she allow others to curse her dead mother again.

Disappointment, grievance, and anger suddenly welled up in my heart, forming a thick mist of tears that rushed straight to my eyelids.

Gu Tingcheng swallowed slightly, still suppressing the tears of disappointment, anger and grievance.

After all, it was her grandmother, she had just arrived, she didn't know what was going on, she was provoked by Liu Rushuang, and she didn't care about the old man.

"Grandma, you are new to the city, and some things may not be clear, things are not as grandma has heard. In the future, I will slowly explain to my grandmother. Gu Qingcheng said patiently and softly, and a bleak smile appeared on his face again.

"It's really sharp-toothed, slippery and cunning!" The old lady rebuked harshly.

The old lady has never paid attention to her granddaughter, and only feels sorry for Gu Yuqing, the male grandson.

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng dared to refute his mouth, he even offended her majesty.

She stretched out her hand and pointed at Gu Qingcheng again, looked at everyone in the hall, and said in a fierce voice:

"Look, look! A little slut like her, who is disrespectful, vicious, shameless, and doesn't return at night, should be beaten to death if she insults her family, so as not to embarrass our surname Gu! ”

Several aunts looked at each other.

The other aunts all looked at the second aunt and wanted the second aunt to dissuade the old lady, after all, the second aunt is now in charge.

"The old lady is angry, Allure is the lord of Anping County appointed by His Majesty, the old lady...... It's better to be careful. The second aunt reminded the old lady not to scold Allure too much.

Several aunts also nodded with the second aunt, signaling the old lady not to criticize the county lord of Anping.

"You fox, how dare you speak for that little slut?!" The old lady glared at the second aunt angrily, and glanced at several aunts again.

As a result, several aunts were silent and did not dare to speak.

Gu Xinyao cried with a sad face, looking pitiful and bullied:

"Yes, grandma, the second aunt is right, but he is the lord of Anping County, who is personally appointed by His Majesty.

The poor mother was not only severely punished by her, but also has difficulty moving.

The eldest sister and the fourth sister were also traumatized, and they were also smeared by rumors, and their attempts to marry a good family in the future came to naught. ”

Gu Xinyao paused, wiped away a handful of tears, touched her short hair, and continued to cry pitifully:

"As for me, the king of Nan'an was so deceived by her that he cut my hair, and the happiness of my life was ruined by her, and it was even more hopeless to marry a good family.

Women all over the world want to become the princess of Nan'an, such a coveted family affair, she dares to withdraw casually.

When people enter the palace, they will fascinate the emperor and obey his words, after all, with the support of His Majesty, stepping on us is like stepping on an ant.

The county wants us to kneel, we dare not get up, the county wants us to die, and we have no way to live.

Grandma, people are already the lord of Anping, we can't afford to provoke them!

It's not easy for you to come all the way, you can get rid of your anger quickly, don't even get tired of grandma when the time comes. ”

The second aunt's original intention was to persuade the old lady to stop and not to be too much to Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Xinyao's remarks seemed to follow the meaning of the second aunt, but it added fuel to the fire, making people feel that Gu Qingcheng was oppressing them with the identity of the county lord of Anping, making them dare to be angry and dare not speak, and even forcing them to have no way to live.

"What a misfortune for the family!" The old lady beat her chest and paused, so angry that she burst into tears: "She dared to retreat easily from the family affairs given by her parents, she was really a disobedient daughter!" ”

“…… Grandma, don't listen to Xin Yao distort the facts. Gu Qingcheng said in a shallow voice without grievances, looked at Gu Xinyao coldly, and wanted to stand up.

"Give me a good kneel!" The old lady pointed at Gu Qingcheng and shouted, "If I don't speak, you can't get up!" ”

Gu Tingcheng knelt down helplessly, and said aggrievedly: "Grandma, don't listen to them as soon as you come back. ”

"Shut up, dare to say that your sister is telling right and wrong? You are so vicious, what more vicious thing can you do! The old lady was furious, and she jumped up, and the spittle spewed high for half a day: "Do you think that the county lord of Jin Feng will cover the sky with one hand?" It's not your turn to show off your little slut! ”

The old lady looked at the grandmother beside her, commanded her servants, and said sharply:

"Go! Beat me to death this little slut who is bullying, disrespectful, disobedient and unfilial, and I can't be buried in the ancestral grave of the Gu family if I die! ”

The two servants came out of the countryside with the old lady, and they were in good health, and they had always only known to obey the old lady's orders, and they did not know the details of Gu Qingcheng, and they were ready to listen to orders at any time.

The old lady gave an order, and the two servants walked to Gu Qingcheng's side.

One wanted to hold Gu Chengcheng, and the other wanted to raise the family law and wanted to beat Gu Chengcheng.

"Who dares to hurt our county lord!" The geese shouted angrily.

Feihong Feiyan watched their county lord get angry, and couldn't bear it anymore, seeing that Gu Qingcheng was about to be beaten, Feiyan jumped up, swept the wolf's legs, and kicked the two slaves to the ground.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around, it's really the other way around! Even the girls are so rampant! The old lady pointed at Feihong Feiyan and scolded, so angry that her fingers trembled, "They don't dare to treat you, but I, an old woman, dare to treat you!" ”

She was wrapped in monstrous anger, Huo Di came out, rolled up her sleeves, she was used to living in the countryside, her body was hard, and as soon as she snatched the family law from the slave's hand, she hit Gu Qingcheng.

Although the old lady is in her sixties, she has strength under her hands, and when the whip falls, she is also vigorous.

Feihong Feiyan immediately pounced on Gu Tingcheng, grabbed the old lady's whip, and protected Gu Qingcheng with their bodies.

Fei Hong said solemnly: "Old lady, although you are the grandmother of the county lord, the county lord is the seal of His Majesty, and he has a fate. Hitting the county lord is like slapping His Majesty in the face, and the Gu Mansion may be questioned for their whole family. Old lady, you have to think about it! ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and was frightened by Feihong's words.

After a while, when I came back to my senses, I felt that she dared to speak to herself like this, and she glared at her teeth in anger.

The old lady vigorously pulled home the method, the old lady used force, and Feihong Feiyan did not dare to make a strong effort, for fear of falling the old lady.

In this way, the whip returned to the old lady's hand.

"You dead girl, dare to threaten the old woman with the emperor?" The old lady pointed at Feihong Feiyan with a whip, "I'll kill you two first!" ”

was so angry that he whipped Feihong Feiyan fiercely.

Feihong Feiyan didn't dare to resist, and both of them were whipped.

Zhiruo and Yunjin had just been killed by Liu Rushuang, and Gu Qingcheng hadn't yet sought justice for them.

Now that the two girls Feihong Feiyan are being whipped for her sake, how can Gu Qingcheng not feel distressed and angry!

"Grandma, stop!" Gu Tingcheng saw that his grandmother still wanted to continue beating them, so he grabbed the whip that the old lady waved down again, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Grandma, if you really want to beat Allure, then hit it, don't be angry with the girl in Allure." ”

"Okay, do you think I don't dare? No one in this family dares to mess with you, so I, an old woman, will fix you!

The old woman is already a person who has stepped into the coffin with one foot, I see what the emperor Lao Tzu can do with me, an old woman! ”

The old lady raised the whip and whipped Gu Qingcheng.

The whip naturally fell on the two guardian girls of Feihong Feiyan again.

"Grandma, don't go too far!" Gu Qingcheng said awe-inspiringly.

Huo Ran stood up, threw aside the whip that had snatched the old lady, helped Feihong Feiyan, and glared at his grandmother angrily, his eyes full of tears.

Other people's grandmothers are kind and generous, how can a grandmother I have never met have no humanity at all?

When you meet, you don't ask about it, it's either scolding or beating!

Gu Tingcheng's tears of disappointment and sadness finally slipped down.

"Yo he! You are glaring at me like this, is it possible, you still want to kill my wife and me? The old lady and Gu Qingcheng's eyes were-for-tat.

"What?!" Before Gu Qingcheng could argue, Gu Xinyao screamed and rushed over.

"Gu Tingcheng, you are really rebellious, you even want to kill grandma?" Gu Xinyao rushed over and spread her arms in front of the old lady.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng looking at her coldly, she obediently swept the old lady's back: "Grandma, don't be angry, don't be angry." ”

Gu Qingcheng looked at Gu Xinyao who was hypocritically in front of his grandmother angrily, and said coldly:

"Gu Xinyao, you just sow discord. I'll see what else you can do! ”

"Gu Qingcheng, my hair has been cut by you, if you want to kill or shave, and if you have any evil methods, you can do it to me. I'm not afraid! Gu Xinyao is not afraid to die in order to protect her grandmother, "Grandma is old, but she must not be humiliated by you!" If you dare to hurt grandma, I'll fight with you! ”

"Xin Yao, my good granddaughter." The old lady looked at Gu Xinyao distressedly and cried, "You can't be murdered by that little slut for grandma!" ”

"Grandma...... With grandma here, Xin Yao is not afraid. Gu Xinyao hugged her grandmother and cried.

Gu Qingcheng looked at them and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Gu Xinyao, I really underestimate your acting skills!" ”

"You little slut, you are unforgiving! Xin Yao has been so harmed by you that she doesn't even have her hair, and you are still so blind now?! The old lady was furious, and raised her whip at Gu Qingcheng again.

At this time, Liu Rushuang dragged her steps with the support of the girl, and walked out with difficulty, looking sick and haggard, kneeling in front of the old lady pitifully, crying:

"Mother, daughter-in-law knows that mother is distressed daughter-in-law and distressed daughter-in-law and distressed your poor granddaughter.

But Allure is indeed the lord of Anping who was personally appointed by the emperor, and we really can't afford to offend.

If you whip down, your daughter-in-law and your granddaughters will be worse than dead, and maybe your head will fall to the ground. ”

When Gu Tingcheng saw Liu Rushuang, he was really an enemy who was very red-eyed when he saw him!

Thinking of those two girls being ravaged and tragically dying, I can't wait to skin her immediately!

The old lady saw Gu Tingcheng glaring at Liu Rushuang angrily, her daughter-in-law was so miserable, her granddaughters were so pitiful, and she was really distressed by the old tears.

The old lady was forced to throw the whip helplessly, patted her thigh and cried loudly, while pointing at Gu Tingcheng and scolding bitterly:

"The Gu family is really evil, how come you are such a vicious little slut! Why didn't you go with your dead ghost mother in the first place, but you could have saved this time and scourge my children and grandchildren here! ”

The old lady's words were like an awl piercing into Gu Qingcheng's heart, painful and cold.

This is the real grandmother she desperately wants to meet?

Such relatives are stranger than passers-by, and more distressing than enemies!

The old lady looked at Gu Qingcheng and continued to grit her teeth and scold:

"My old woman can't beat you as a little slut, but I can still punish you to the Gu ancestral hall and kowtow to your ancestors and confess!"

Disappointment, sadness and anger towards Liu Rushuang rolled in, Gu Qingcheng looked at the old lady without humility or arrogance: "Allure is not guilty!" ”

The old lady pointed at Gu Qingcheng and jumped up angrily: "You unrepentant evil obstacle, relying on the title, do you think the old woman can't help you?" ”

The old lady scolded while looking at the stone pillars in the hall: "The old woman died headlong in front of you, I see how you explain to the people of the world, and no one dares to defend you, a disrespectful obstacle!" ”

The old lady said this, and wanted to crash headlong into the big pillar of the hall.

But she was held back by the two mothers who served her.

Gu Qingcheng really understood his grandmother's power at this moment.

Gu Tingcheng said helplessly: "Grandma, don't force each other to die, Allure can't afford to force grandma to death." If you want to punish the city, you will go to the ancestral hall behind the city, kneel and think about it behind closed doors. ”

The corners of Liu Rushuang's daughters finally turned into smiles.

After a pause, Gu Qingcheng said to the old lady again:

"Grandma, no matter what misunderstanding you have about me, Allure will tell you once again that I didn't harm your daughter-in-law and granddaughter, everything is their own fault!"
