Chapter XXIII
Gu Qingwan said: "Old lady, this is the congratulatory gift I want to give you." It's just that Bang'er has limited money, and he can't let the craftsman make a better screen for you, don't blame me. ”
"Bang'er has a heart." Ma Shi stared at the screen without turning around, and replied to Gu Qingwan with a straight nod.
Everyone looked at Gu Qingwan in admiration, and praised her for her delicate thinking, and the congratulatory gift she gave had a very good meaning.
Gu Yan looked at Gu Qingwan, who was in the limelight, and clasped her hands. When did Gu Qingwan be able to quietly put things in her territory? In the attic of the rain pavilion, except for her two personal maids, she never allowed others to come up, could it be... Gu Yan stared at Gu Qingwan gloomily.
Zhou looked at Gu Yan who was trembling while holding herself, she had to find a way to stop these people's mouths, and the matter of Yan'er must not be spread, otherwise, her life would be ruined.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Third Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Lord of Si Pian, and the ladies are polite, the Hou Ye and the side lady still have things to deal with, why don't you please go back first, I hope you forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." Gu Qingwan bowed generously to everyone.
These ladies saw that Gu Qingwan's posture was generous and elegant, without pretentiousness, although they gave an eviction order, they were not disgusted. Everyone couldn't help but have a better impression of Gu Qingwan. This elegant posture and calm demeanor still has half of the rumored appearance of three daughters?
However, everyone admired and appreciated, but they were still interested and left. The crown prince Zhu Tianqi and the ninth prince Zhu Tianyang also left. In addition to Ma, Gu Mingzhen, and Gu Qingwan, there were only two outsiders present, Zhu Tianyi and Wang Silian.
Zhu Tianyi originally wanted to leave, but when he saw Gu Yan's eyes eager for him to stay, he couldn't bear it, he thought that Gu Yan must have been frightened after such a big thing, so he still stayed to comfort her.
Zhou took Gu Yan back to Jinrong Garden to freshen up, and after settling her, he went to the front hall of Nanhou Mansion to find out the truth. She must find out about this matter, and she will definitely not let go of Gu Qingwan. No, and Gu Yan!
Gu Yan, who was lying on the bed, had empty eyes, although she didn't yell anymore, but the whole person seemed to have been drained of her soul, and only a shell remained. The hatred in her heart kept growing, she hated, she hated. She hates Gu Qingwan, Gu Yan, Ma, and Gu Mingzhen, but what she hates the most is her mother-in-law, Zhou!
If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been insulted by a bunch of brutes! If it weren't for her swearing that she would ruin Gu Qingwan, she wouldn't have gone to see the excitement! Even now, she is going to be kicked out of the Hou Mansion, but she can't even protect herself!
What's the use of her wanting such a waste mother!
In the hall of Nanhou Mansion, last time Gu Qingwan appeared here for Gu Yan, this time, it was still for Gu Yan, and the eye-catching Zhu Tianyi still appeared here. It's just that there is one more Wang Silian, and the protagonist who was interrogated this time was also replaced by someone else. Today, she is just a spectator, a bystander!
Gu Yan knelt on the ground, her eyes were sad, and she kept crying.
Wang Si saw it and said distressedly: "Yan'er, don't cry, no one wants this kind of thing to happen, it's okay if you explain it clearly to everyone, after all, you are also a victim." Wang Silian also looked at Gu Qingwan intentionally.
The corners of Gu Qing's lips hooked slightly, it seems that this Wang Silian is planning to support Gu Yan! Hehe, another white lotus. Is it true that people are divided into groups?
The old lady Ma rubbed her eyebrows irritably, and said impatiently: "What are you crying about? It's really useless, just crying! ”
Gu Yan was immediately silenced, lowering her head and whimpering.
Zhu Tianyi looked at Gu Yan with a swaying posture, her eyes were filled with distress, and she said: "Lord Si Lian is right, Yan'er is also a victim in this matter, and the Hou Ye and the old lady don't blame her anymore!" The floor is hard and cold, and Yan'er is weak, so let her get up first. ”
Gu Yan looked at Zhu Tianyi happily, she didn't expect the third prince to help her speak and trust her so much. Gu Yan looked up and saw Zhu Tianyi looking at her and nodded, as if she was assuring her that she would be fine with him.
Gu Yan lowered her head shyly, and her originally pale face instantly climbed into a slight flush.
Zhu Tianyi looked at Gu Yan's reaction with satisfaction, he enjoyed this feeling of conquering others. In the past, as long as he beckoned, he could have any kind of woman he wanted, including those self-righteous Shengjing talented women, such as Gu Yan.
However, now with such an exception, whether he was deliberately flattering or as cold as before, he was no longer in the eyes of the woman who had chased him before.
Zhu Tianyi looked at Gu Qingwan, who was standing on the other side as cold as ice, as if something important had been lost, but he didn't have time to grasp it.
Gu Mingzhen looked at the third prince and thought for a while, and was about to raise his hand to let Gu Yan get up, but was interrupted by a sharp voice: "Who allowed her to get up?" ”
Gu Mingzhen raised his eyes and looked at the door, only to see Zhou, who had changed his clothes, walking in angrily, looking at Gu Yan who was kneeling on the ground condescendingly, and suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped Gu Yan fiercely.
Gu Yan faced this sudden slap, and before she was ready, her body was beaten to the side. She immediately covered her face, her eyes were misty, "Madam, Yan'er is wronged." ”
"Madame, you can't be so unreasonable. This matter has nothing to do with Yan'er. Why don't you go to the real murderer? Wang Silian said indignantly, looking dissatisfied with Wang's righteousness and standing up for his friends.
Zhu Tianyi looked at Wang Silian thoughtfully, he and Wang Silian grew up together, but he didn't find out that Wang Silian was so empathetic, reasonable and righteous before.
Wang Silian looked at Zhu Tianyi looking at herself, and smiled faintly at him, nothing else.
"Si Pian County Lord, this seems to be a family matter in Nanhou Mansion, right? Don't say it's you, even if the queen mother comes, you can't care! Zhou looked at Wang Silian coldly, and secretly thought that she had ignored Gu Yan, a slut, before, and actually climbed up to Wang Silian!
However, what about climbing up to Wang Silian? Her sister is the current queen, and her father is the prime minister of the dynasty! Who would dare not give her face? Don't give the Zhou family a face?
Then he said to Gu Yan: "Wronged? You are in the same room as Yan'er, why don't you stop you when something happens to you?"
"I... I was unconscious and had no idea what was going on. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw... See..."Gu Yan whispered.
"Hmph, you think I'm going to believe you? Now that you're unconscious, can't you see the three brutes of such a big person? Why... Why is it only my concubine who suffers? The more Zhou said the back, the more sad his expression became.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, something happened to Gu Yan, and Zhou's heart is afraid that it will be crushed, right? However, she just sighed that she would not sympathize with the Zhou family. For she has said before, If no one sins against me, I will not offend anyone: and if anyone sins against me, I will treat him in his own way. It was the Zhou family who came to provoke him first.
Let her bear the consequences of the evil planted by the Zhou family! Gu Qingwan looked at everything that happened in front of him lightly.
The old lady Ma said in annoyance: "Shut up! How long is it going to be troubled? Come, bring the three brutes in. ”
In less than a cup of tea, the three men were tied up and taken to the hall, beaten all over their bodies, and when they saw Gu Mingzhen and Zhou, they kowtowed and begged for mercy.
The hatred in Zhou's eyes splashed, these three people were found by her in the beggar's nest in the broken temple in the east of the city, in order to wait for Gu Qingwan to be humiliated, so that she could clear her suspicion, so she said that Gu Qingwan did not know the inspection. But now, because these three people didn't know Gu Qingwan, they spoiled their daughter, as long as she thought of the bruised look when she scrubbed her body just now, her heart felt like it had been cut by a knife.
When she finds the evidence, she will definitely not let go of Gu Qingwan's slut, let alone the three beasts in front of her!
Zhou kicked one of them down, his eyes were about to split, "Say, who asked you to come?" Who gave you the audacity to insult Miss Houfu? ”
The person who was kicked begged for mercy again and again, "It's the second miss, it's the second miss who said that she was lonely in the Hou Mansion and asked me to wait to come and be a companion." ”
"Presumptuous! You said that the second lady asked you to come, but is there any evidence? If Ben Hou finds out half of the lie, he will immediately drag it out and beat him to death! Gu Mingzhen's thick eyebrows furrowed and shouted loudly.
He had a total of four daughters, and the reputations of the two daughters were ruined all of a sudden, and Gu Qingwan was Shengjing's notoriously unattractive and immoral, leaving only a nine-year-old Gu Yan. In any case, he has to pay attention to Gu Qingwan.
"There is something, there is evidence. In the mezzanine of the small clothes, there is a token given by the second lady. Another man said.
Gu Mingzhen's eyes signaled, and immediately several servants took the man down to find the token.
Moments later, the man was carried back again.
The little guy presented the wrapped "token" to Gu Mingzhen, which was a handkerchief. Gu Mingzhen was so angry that he didn't even look at it, he directly grabbed the handkerchief and threw it on Gu Qingwan's face. Angry roared, "Bastard, what is this? ”
Gu Qingwan turned sideways to avoid it, there was no trace of emotion in his clear eyes, "I don't know what this is." ”
Zhou stepped forward, pointed at Gu Qing, his hands trembled, and said sadly: "Second Miss, I treat you well on weekdays, why do you want to take revenge?" ”
"I said, I don't know what it is, and it's not mine." Gu Qingwan said flatly.
"You still dare to quibble, you..." Zhou bent down to pick up the handkerchief thrown on the ground, and was about to take it to Gu Qingwan to question him face to face, but found that something was wrong.
Zhou spread out the handkerchief and looked at it three times over and over again, for fear of missing the slightest detail.
Gu Mingzhen and the others also looked closely at the Zhou family, who was obviously not in the right momentum, only Gu Qingwan stood aside calmly, if it weren't for the veil on her face at this moment, I was afraid that everyone would be able to see the sneer on her face.
"It's... It can't be, it can't be. How so? How could it be..."Zhou Shi clutched the handkerchief tightly, raised his head suddenly, and slashed at Gu Qingwan fiercely, it was she who asked Mama Hu to secretly take out Gu Qingwan's handkerchief and hand it over to the three beasts, why did it suddenly become Yan'er's handkerchief?
