Chapter 122: Yesterday's Incident, Did You Know It Earlier?
The breeze rose, and the lake rippled slightly, and even the sounds that seemed to be in the air were a little erratic.
Gu Jinxi lay lazily on the railing with her hands, looking at the calm and waveless lake, her eyelids were lowered, and there seemed to be a meaningful smile on her face, "The left and right have long been the ones who should die, and the more life she has earned is considered to have been earned." However, Miss Ben was a little curious, this time the old lady of the Gu family didn't react at all, "What's more, she sent Gu Jinlan to Qin Xiang's mansion by mistake this time, and even fought for her the position of Mrs. Lan, even though Gu Jinlan's life in the future will not be better, but it is much better than being imprisoned forever in the land of the slap of Lanxin Pavilion, and this remnant of her life, isn't it."
"That's an order from the emperor himself, asking the slave to say that Aunt Liu's courage is really big enough, and even the wedding of the Seventh Prince dares to stir up. Speaking of this, the feather duster in Banxia's hand suddenly stagnated, and his mouth was deflated, "But then again, she is dead, but she is dead, and Gu Jinlan is worth dying when she turns over." "After all, not everyone is qualified to marry into the royal family, if it weren't for the fact that Gu Jinlan and Qin Xiang completed the ceremony of three bows and nine knocks, I am afraid that no matter what, Gu Jinlan would not have won the title of Mrs. Lan.
"Some things may not be as simple as you seem. The corners of Gu Jinxi's mouth were slightly raised, her tone seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, and her eyes were still dyed with a little bit of deep meaning. It's easy for Aunt Liu to die like this, otherwise even if the emperor lets her go, the prince and Chun Yuhong won't let her go, if she is smart, she knows what to do.
Thinking about turning his head to look in the direction of Shuixie Tinglan, Gu Jinxi's eyes darkened, his thin lips pursed slightly, and his eyebrows frowned, "What's the news over there?"
It's been half a day since she woke up, and there is no news from Shui Xie Tinglan, although she is no longer the willful little girl, but she can't help but feel a little lost in her heart, and there is a little worry.
Banxia pursed her lips and shook her head, "Everything is normal in the house, there is no special news, Miss, you just woke up, don't worry too much." β
"Probably not. Shuixie Tinglan's boy An's body is all right" Gu Jinxi's eyebrows frowned slightly, although Tiemu Yuanyuan had confirmed that the Gu worms in the kid An's body were not a big problem, but she didn't know anything about Gu worms in the end, and she was always a little worried. Fortunately, on that day, after the high fever on Xiao Zi'an's body subsided, everything returned to normal, if it weren't for the chaotic scene that night still in front of her, I am afraid she would have thought that all this was just a dream.
"The little master is very good. Banxia lowered his head, his thin lips pursed slightly, and his eyebrows frowned. But he soon relaxed, "Since the last time the nurse happened, Madame has been very nervous about the little young master, so she will take it with her wherever she goes." Steward Du also mentioned to his wife that the little master was young in the end, it was the age of noisy, and he always had to cry several times in the middle of the night, and asked a nurse to take care of the little master again, and the lady didn't have to be so tired, but Mrs. refused. β
"Hmm. β
Hearing this, Gu Jinxi nodded, her face was still expressionless, but her slightly lowered eyelids showed that she was not as indifferent as she appeared.
"Actually, the slave maid thinks that the violent death of the nurse that day may be a coincidence, is it a bit too much for the lady to be so a soldier. Banxia lowered his head, and after cleaning all the dust on the Bogu shelf in the house, he found an embroidery pier and held a basket, and was about to sew a new nightgown for Gu Jinxi.
It's autumn, and the night is as cool as water. Those thin nightgowns in the summer look inevitably thinner, and the clothes that Qingdai and she had worked on with a lot of effort to sew before were given to Tiemu Yuanyuan, and the two of them were hurrying to work in the world.
When Gu Jinxi heard this, she lowered her eyelids, her eyes condensed, "As the so-called careful sailing of the 10,000-year-old ship, since my mother wants to take care of it herself." What's more, it is an indisputable fact that someone poisoned the nurse, if it weren't for Tiemu Yuanyuan's erroneous discovery and Gu for the kid, I'm afraid that by the time we know, we will already be powerless. "The poison is not indissolvable, but the toxicity is fierce. Xiao Zi'an is young, and his body is when he is weak, if he is really poisonous, even if the master is alive, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to heaven.
What's more, when they were in Blue City before, didn't the four of their brothers and sisters also grow up with Su Yi taking care of themselves, not to mention that the conditions in the house are much better now than they were at that time.
There is also the person who poisoned the nurse that day, and there is no time to investigate after what happened yesterday, it seems that this Wuyuan is not the monolith she imagined, and it is time to tidy up the people in the house. Thinking of this, Gu Jinxi's face was difficult to see, there were not many people in the Wuyuan, except for Gu Ziqian who was invited to take care of the Wuyuan in the past, most of the others were brought out from the Gu Guogong Mansion, did these people have any spies planted by others, or was it really as Banxia said, it was just a coincidence, it was time for people to take a good look, Du Ruoqin was good, Ruoyun, Lu Ying. These people are all carefully cultivated by Ye Zhenniang after careful selection, isn't it
Hearing this, Banxia nodded, "Miss is reasonable, but in this case, Madam is too tired." Mrs. has lost a lot of weight these days, do you say that we should invite one" Saying that, it seemed that he noticed that Gu Jinxi's soul was out of the world, and Banxia immediately called out two times in a hurry, "Miss, Miss"
When Gu Jinxi heard this, she pulled her thoughts back from her contemplation, and looked up at Banxia, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her tail note was elongated, "Hmm"
Banxia was relieved when she saw this, "The slave said that Mrs. has lost a lot of weight in the past two days, do you have to find a way to make up for Mrs. The little master is always noisy at night, and if it goes on like this, Mrs. is afraid that her body will be dragged down." As he spoke, he looked at Gu Jinxi's still frowning eyebrows and pale face, "Miss, you haven't rested well, why are you staying in the blue sky and white day." By the way, the slave maid asked you just now, you still can't remember the last time you were at the post station, the eldest young master of the Su family was turned into a eunuch by Princess Xirou. β
"Hmm" Gu Jinxi nodded, turned his head to look at Banxia, and there was doubt in his eyes.
"The slave maid heard from others before that Xia Liangguo wanted to repent of the marriage but was rejected by His Majesty, but he also made an order to fulfill the marriage contract after the eldest young master of the Su family recovered from his illness. Banxia said, lowering her voice and said, "Miss, you said that the things of the eldest young master of the Su family have been cut off, can you still put them back, then Princess Xirou is really ruthless." According to that person's meaning, the eldest young master of the Su family can't get better for a day, and Princess Xirou can't get married, isn't this a widow in disguise."
"What do you know, you girl? Gu Jinxi raised her hand and gently poked her forehead, "Xia Xirou is not the princess of our Xichu after all, and now it looks like we have won the battle, so Xia Liang came to sue for peace, but there are many ways to do it secretly." β
Whether the marriage contract is done or not is just a matter of the emperor's words. What's more, wouldn't it be good to become a eunuch, but not necessarily, at least she knew, there were people in the world who could regenerate severed limbs, and her master Yaochen was one of them. It's just that Su Cheng is so lucky to meet such a nobleman, then I don't know, and it is impossible for her to make a move. She was a woman who had not yet come out of the court, and even if there were no men and women in the court, she could not destroy her reputation to heal that place. What's more, the Su family was afraid that they had already hated her, how could they believe it; speaking of Su Cheng, she remembered another person, the person who had sworn that day to believe in the prince, really got the antidote
Banxia saw Gu Jinxi start to play again, her brows were furrowed, and she was also a little absent-minded, the needle pierced her fingers, and she immediately exhaled in pain, "Ah"
"What's wrong" Gu Jinxi turned her head and shook her head at her movements, "Don't be careful." β
"Isn't this also worried about Miss. Banxia pouted, "Could it be that Princess Xirou and the eldest young master of the Su family are so deadlocked?"
The corners of Gu Jinxi's mouth hooked obliquely, "As the so-called self-inflicted sins can't live, what are they doing, what are they doing to us." We just need to take care of ourselves. β
If it weren't for Su Cen wanting to frame her, it wouldn't have made Su Cheng eat that cup of tea by mistake, and in the end, because of his anger, he actually wanted to use force on Princess Xirou, but then again, if it wasn't for Princess Xirou running to Su Cheng's room, maybe nothing would have happened, I can only say that people are not as good as heaven, and the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, who can live through the five watches
"Now that the palace gate has been released, who can cure the illness of Xia Liangguo's concubine, it is the first achievement. Banxia seemed to be joking.
"Okay, if you're really too idle, take care of this Wuyuan up and down again, and pay less attention to those who don't have. When Gu Jinxi heard this, he only raised his eyelids slightly, not even raising his head, his thin lips pursed slightly, and his eyes narrowed into a straight line, "Our identity is no longer what it used to be, and Luwuyuan is not the Gu Guogong Mansion of the past." β
If some words really reach other people's ears, it will be a real disaster. Now it seems that there may be people who don't care about Qin Rui's face like her, but the person sitting on the top of the throne she sees very clearly, how can a person with monstrous authority tolerate people and things outside her control. Thinking of what she heard when she secretly followed Aunt Liu last time, things, she has been restricted by who has been looking for something all these years, although she doesn't know what the thing in their mouths is, but from their conversation, she can hear that this thing is related to Su Yi. Will Aunt Liu know the truth about her mother's disappearance back then, and what is it that actually harmed the Gu family in her previous life, but also compensated the Su family, and even in the end, none of the two families survived.
Things are getting more and more confusing, and every time she sees that she is about to fall into the water, there will be some accidents, which will catch her off guard. And isn't Aunt Liu that person's spy, why would she serve the prince as the master, all of this, all of them are question marks, there are no answers, and there is no clue. And she, as if she had been forced into a dead end, couldn't struggle out.
When Banxia heard this, he immediately playfully stuck out his tongue and pouted, "The slave knows." β
"My mother, I haven't seen her much since I came back yesterday. Gu Jinxi frowned, turned her head to look at Banxia, and seemed to have some doubts in her eyes.
"After seeing off Mrs. Xie yesterday, Mrs. Xie said that she had been feeling uneasy. There were too many things that happened in a few days, so she took Little Master Zi'an to Tanzhe Temple, saying that it was to pray for the young lady and the three young masters. Banxia lowered her head, her hands were still flying needles, but her two thin lips kept opening and closing, "Steward Du and Mo Yu sent Mrs. there, Miss was too tired yesterday, and she rested when she came back, and Mrs. and the Third Young Master specially instructed not to alarm Miss." β
Gu Jinxi nodded when she heard this, since Du Ruo and Mo Yu had gone with them, there should be nothing to do, "Hmm." Lowering her eyelids, she was still a little uneasy in her heart, about Aunt Liu's death, she even regretted it a little, she should have asked the secret as soon as possible, who has been putting cold arrows behind the back of the Gu Su family, if this person is not removed, it is a cancer after all. The matter of the boy Ann's mother may not be manipulated by the black hand in the dark. Thinking of this, a touch of gloom flashed in her eyes, if things were really what she thought, then even if they had nothing to do with the Gu family and the Gu Guo Mansion, the potential danger still did not disappear, and it was even more hidden. As long as she thought of this possibility, her heart couldn't help but hang tightly again, sinking more and more, getting colder and colder. Even in the end, she couldn't help but shudder, since she was reborn, every step, seemingly coincidental, is under her control, but every time it comes to a critical time, there will always be one accident or another that interrupts her plan, are these really just coincidences?
"Miss, are you okay" Banxia looked at Gu Jinxi's face that suddenly turned pale, and immediately put down the needle and thread in his hand, moved the basket to the small table next to him and got up, and gently probed Gu Jinxi's forehead with the back of his hand, with a concerned face.
Gu Jinxi sighed heavily, lowered her eyelids and shook her head, "I'm fine." β
"Really" Banxia frowned, obviously not believing, "Miss, haven't you rested well, there is nothing important in the house for the past two days, if you are tired, go back to the room to rest for a while, there are two girls on the side of Shuixie Tinglan to take care of Ruoyun and Qinhao, it should be no big deal." β
Gu Jinxi gently brushed Banxia's hand away, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the bad premonition in her heart, "I'm really fine, maybe things have happened too much recently, and I'm a little tired." β
"Miss, don't think too much about it. Banxia hesitated, but still spoke, "Everything in the world, God has already arranged it in the dark, since it has been arranged, it naturally has its reason, even if you think about it too much, you don't know what will happen in the next moment, so we just need to cherish what is in front of us." "Just like her, when she was on the line of life and death, even she thought that she would meet Su Yi and Gu Jinxi when she fell, God had already written her fate, and she was destined to meet Mrs. and Miss, who were the saviors given to her by God.
When Gu Jinxi heard this, thinking of all the things, his face suddenly showed a touch of relief, and he nodded, "In the end, I'm stupid, I can't even understand this simple truth, it's not too early, go and tell the kitchen to prepare food." β
"Yes. When Banxia heard this, two essences immediately appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but raise his voice a few points. This is the first time since the last incident that my young lady has taken the initiative to ask for a meal.
With that excited look, Gu Jinxi couldn't help but shake his head.
The "crunch" door closes gently.
Gu Jinxi's eyes darkened, and he turned his head towards a corner of the house, "Since you're here, why hide and hide." Come out. β
"Xi'er, you" came and was dressed in a dark gray auspicious cloud pattern brocade suit, with a delicate waist seal, and a dragon pattern jade pendant symbolizing identity, but looking at Gu Jinxi's eyes, it seemed that there was something in his eyes, and he pursed his lips, but the words behind him were not spoken.
"The little woman didn't know, when it was rumored that she was as warm as jade, and the Seven Princes of Zhilan Yushu also had a habit of climbing people's boudoirs" Gu Jinxi lowered her head, lowered her eyelids, and a dark color quickly crossed the bottom of her eyes, and turned her head to look at the entire shallow pavilion, the guard protection of the Wuyuan Garden was naturally incomparable to the Gu Guogong Mansion in the past, and the Muxi Pavilion.
When Qin Xiang heard this, his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy, but thinking of his purpose and what happened yesterday, he couldn't even tell what he felt in his heart, "What happened yesterday, did you do it or not?"
The little woman couldn't understand what the Seven Princes were saying. Gu Jinxi lowered his head, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he raised his head to meet Qin Xiang's eyes, still clear and as always, still clear and beautiful face, still cold and calm expression, everything seemed to have not changed. No, it's since she woke up in the lake last time she's been the way she is now.
Qin Xiang's face was ugly, he lowered his head, and the hand hanging by his side was bent, but he didn't move after all, "Xi'er, you have changed." β
"People change. Gu Jinxi raised her head, the corners of her mouth seemed to be dyed with a faint smile, "Seventh Prince, haven't you changed too" Saying, her voice paused slightly, and without waiting for Qin Xiang to speak, she lowered her head, and her right hand unconsciously stroked the pure glass bead between her left wrist, trying to keep herself calm, "The Seven Princes in the past were indifferent and alienated to Gu Jinxi, and disdainful;
"I" was stunned by Gu Jinxi's words, Qin Xiangbei bit his lower lip tightly, and his eyebrows frowned slightly. Looking at the woman lying lazily on the beauty on the opposite side, she tilted her head so much, her clear and watery eyes looked at him so quietly, as if innocent and as if she was puzzled, the pain in her chest was like a pinprick in her chest, that feeling was like someone pinching his heart with her hand, and even he couldn't believe that the innocent woman in front of him was so vulgar in his heart in the past, and he felt that his eyes were dirty even if he looked at it more.
Is it punishment because he didn't care about her in the past, he disdained her, and sneered at her, so God arranged such a result to punish him;
His chest was torn, Qin Xiang pursed his lips, and looked at Gu Jinxi, his eyes were full of affection and remorse, "Xi'er, are we really unable to go back?"
"Go back" Gu Jinxi raised his head violently, his eyes blinked, and he looked at Qin Xiang innocently, "The little woman doesn't understand what you mean by this, Seventh Prince."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang lowered his head, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "That's it." "He didn't come here today for this, "What happened yesterday in the Seven Princes' Mansion, did you already know the prince's plan?"
Gu Jinxi lowered his head and laughed softly, with a strong sense of ridicule in his eyes, Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang, he really hasn't changed at all, selfish, self-interested, and will always only enjoy being loved. In this life, no, including the previous life, he doesn't love anyone, from beginning to end what he loves is power, status, in the final analysis, it's just him.
Whether it is himself, Gu Jinlan, or even Chun Yuyun now, in his heart, I am afraid that he has already weighed it well, who can bring him more opportunities, more support, and more possibilities to sit in that position. With his current status, he can still make that affectionate appearance, but it is really difficult for her.
The little woman didn't understand what the Seven Princes were talking about. β
"Gu Jinxi" Qin Xiang was finally completely annoyed, lowered his voice and roared.
The Seventh Prince reminded that the little woman knew what her name was. Gu Jinxi lowered her head, playing with the tassel of the jade pendant on her waist, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and her eyes seemed to be smiling, just looking at Qin Xiang quietly.
"You know, isn't it" Qin Xiang lowered his head, although it was a questioning tone, he already knew it, he lowered his head, "Although the crown prince and the imperial brother are interested in Chun Yuyun, you and the Nine Emperor Uncle must have known his plan for a long time, so we discussed it." β
Gu Jinxi's eyebrows were raised, he just looked at Qin Xiang quietly, the corner of his mouth was cold and the smile did not fade, he got up and moved elegantly like flowing water, walked to the table in the room and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, held it in both hands, and gently took a sip and another sip.
"How can I see it?"
Seeing this, Qin Xiang's originally hanging heart finally let go, as long as Gu Jinxi was willing to have a good talk with him, it would be easy to say; without Gu Jinxi's invitation, he directly found a chair opposite her and sat down, put one hand on the table, and lowered his eyelids, "The crown prince once proposed to me to change your appearance into a pure Yuyun, Li Dai Tao stiff" said, his eyes burned, staring at Gu Jinxi's expression tightly, and found that the expression on her face did not change in the slightest, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed and continued, "But I refused." β
"Uh-huh" Gu Jinxi's eyes were light, and he lowered his eyelids and looked at the teacup with a thin white porcelain embryo, but the orange-yellow transparent and clear tea exuded a faint fragrance, and raised his eyebrows to signal Qin Xiang to continue.
Qin Xiang didn't dislike it, he took the teacup, carried the teapot, and poured a large cup of tea fiercely, his face finally looked better, "Originally, I thought that this matter had come to an end, after all, Chun Yuyun was married by her father, and even if the prince had more friendship with her, she should disappear with this marriage contract or be buried in her heart forever." β
But that's how it happened. The corners of Gu Jinxi's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Qin Xiang with a thick mockery, "But what does the Seventh Prince mean by telling the little girl this, if you really want to clear your name, explain these things to Your Majesty." β
When Qin Xiang heard this, his brows, which had just been scattered, suddenly wrinkled tightly, and he looked at Gu Jinxi, "Don't you really know about this matter?"
"Should I know" Gu Jinxi's eyes were cold, looking at Qin Xiang with a thick mockery in his eyes.
Qin Xiang was immediately silent when he heard this, but soon he took a deep breath and laughed, "Hehe, the matter has come to this, Gu Jinxi, what's the point of you pretending again." Saying that, without waiting for Gu Jinxi to refute, "Although I don't know how you got out and replaced you with Gu Jinlan, Xi'er, in fact, I really" Saying that, he raised his head and wanted to grab Gu Jinxi's hand on the table, but Gu Jinxi deftly dodged it, and he could only withdraw his hand in a curt, "When the prince told me about that plan, I was really tempted." β
"What do you have to do with me" Gu Jinxi swallowed the last sip of tea slowly, raised his head and looked at Qin Xiang, there was no trace of friendship in his eyes, and even with coldness and displeasure, "Don't forget, the Seventh Prince, now I am the fiancΓ©e of King Rui, even if it is you, you have to call me the imperial aunt in the end."
Before the words fell, Qin Xiang's complexion was already difficult to see the extreme, "Xi'er, do you really have to be like this?"
"What do you mean I have to be like this" Gu Jinxi slanted the corners of his mouth, looking at Qin Xiang with a hint of mockery, "It's that the Seventh Prince inexplicably broke into the little girl's boudoir, and he has to say a lot of inexplicable things to the little girl." She lowered her head, "If the Seventh Prince really suspects the little woman, he can tell the matter directly to Lord Ande of Jingzhao Mansion, or directly tell His Majesty, the little woman believes that the way of heaven is clear, and there will always be a place for justice in this world." If it weren't for King Rui who happened to pass by yesterday, I'm afraid that the little girl and her mother would have to sleep in the wilderness, could it be that in the eyes of the Seven Princes, this is also the place in the southern suburbs that the little woman deliberately did, but it is not an ordinary person to go back. β
The voice landed, and the room was quiet.
Qin Xiang pursed his lips, but he couldn't say anything after all, he just looked at Gu Jinxi quietly, as if he wanted to see something from her face, lowered his eyelids, and even had some doubts in his heart, could it really be that he wanted to fork her and she didn't know anything;
"If the Seventh Prince has nothing else to do, please do it. Gu Jinxi lowered her head and made a gesture of invitation, "Although it is a blue sky and a white day, but this is the little woman's boudoir, if this is spread, I am afraid it will not be good." β
Qin Xiang lowered his head, "Xi'er, you"
"Even if I'm just the fiancΓ©e of your Nine Emperor Uncles now, if you don't call the little girl, Aunt Nine Emperor should also call Miss Gu. Gu Jinxi raised his head violently when he heard this, and looked at Qin Xiang's serious face, his dignified and elegant appearance, which made Qin Xiang couldn't help but look stunned.
"Miss Gu Gu. Qin Xiang stumbled, and finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"Seventh Prince, please" Gu Jinxi's tone suddenly increased.
"Yesterday's incident was ordered by my father to be thoroughly investigated, although Liu Hongyan stood up and took all the responsibility, but what is going on, my father is not so easy to fool, Miss Gu, you are so self-conscious. Qin Xiang said, turning around.
"As the saying goes, don't do bad things during the day, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Gu Jinxi looked at Qin Xiang's back as he left, propped his left elbow on the table on the teacup on the ground and the corners of his mouth, hiding the thick mockery at the corner of his mouth, "The clear ones are self-purifying, the turbid ones are turbid, and Jinxi has a clear conscience."
As soon as Qin Xiang left, Banxia immediately knocked on the door, holding the tray and approaching, but looking at Gu Jinxi's eyes changed a little, it seemed to be with a faint worry, and it seemed to be a little puzzled.
"If you have something to say, what are you looking at me like this" Gu Jinxi looked at the dishes sent by Banxia, which were fresh and refreshing, and it was appetizing to look at.
When Banxia heard this, his face became more and more ugly. Bringing the porcelain plate containing vegetables in the tray to the table, he raised his head and glanced at Gu Jinxi quickly, then lowered his head again, repeating the action just now.
Gu Jinxi was a little uncomfortable, and the chopsticks in her hand suddenly put down, and she raised her head to look at her, "Banxia." β
"Miss" Banxia pursed her lips and frowned.
"Say whatever you want. "Now in this shallow pavilion, there are only a few people coming and going, I want to say that the wall has ears, but the wall is so far away, it is difficult to hear, what is not easy to say.
Banxia Bei bit her lower lip lightly, frowned, and saw that Gu Jinxi was about to get angry, so she quickly lowered her head, "Miss, I was in the house just now, is there anyone else?"
"Uh-huh. Gu Jinxi raised her eyebrows, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at her quietly.
"Miss is angry, it's the slave who has trespassed. Seeing this, Banxia suddenly knelt on his knees, and his face turned pale. In the end, there is a difference between master and servant, and she should not interfere in the affairs of her own young lady.
Gu Jinxi stopped, "Okay, it's not that serious, tell me how you see it"
Banxia lowered her head, "When the slave came from outside just now, she seemed to hear a man's voice in the house, Miss, are you okay?"
"What can I do, it's just a psychopath. Gu Jinxi gave up weakly.
"The slave and maid understood. Banxia lowered her head and glanced around, "Now that Madam and the two young masters are not in the house, the guards in this shallow pavilion are weaker, and Miss Zhenniang is now Miss You, do you need to invite a few more guards?"
Gu Jinxi smiled softly and shook his head, "Those ghosts and ghosts, what you want to come to is that this shallow pavilion is covered with nets from heaven and earth, and they can't stop them; β
"Slaves are foolish. Banxia's thin lips pursed slightly.
"Alright, you're not going to worry about that. Gu Jinxi was holding the rice bowl, and as soon as he ate two bites, he heard Qing Dai come to report that the Seven Princes' Mansion and Mrs. Lan came to visit.
When Banxia heard this, her face suddenly turned ugly, "What is she here to do, Miss, shouldn't she be here to find fault?"
"Huh. Gu Jinxi lowered her voice and laughed softly, "What is she going to do, just go and see." As he spoke, he turned his head to Qing Dai and said, "Let Ruoyun welcome people to the Water Pavilion Tinglan, and wait for them, after all, she is the only wife of the Seven Princes now, so you can't slack off." β
Qing Dai lowered her head, still expressionless, and her tone was as good as ever, "Yes." β
"Dress up Miss Ben well, Mrs. Lan is a distinguished guest now, we can't be too rude. The corners of Gu Jinxi's mouth were slightly hooked, with a slight mockery. Before the boy's full moon ceremony, Gu Jinlan was always grounded in Lanxin Pavilion, and she was not even released on the day of the full moon ceremony, thinking that she had a complete epiphany. Although what happened yesterday will involve Gu Jinlan and she has a little responsibility, but the so-called flies don't bite seamless eggs, just like what she said to her in her previous life, she has fulfilled her.
Banxia nodded, and quickly took out the seemingly plain but very luxurious clothes from the wardrobe, the real gold ingots were pulled into filaments and woven by mistake with cloud brocade, and the skirt was embroidered with thick silk with large blooming red plums, which looked like fiery red lotus from a distance. This shirt and dress is not only gorgeous, but also able to resist knives and guns, and Qin Rui specially spent a lot of money in Jinxiufang to tailor it for Gu Jinxi.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye an hour passed.
Seeing that the sun was slowly slanting westward from the middle sky, Gu Jinxi gently pulled the tassel around her waist, and the two of them said, "Okay, it shouldn't be rude to see Mrs. Lan like this."
"Probably not. How could Banxia not know what her young lady was thinking, and echoed in a loud voice.
In the small hall near the lake in Tinglan, Gu Jinlan was already impatient, but thinking of the purpose of her trip, she could only suppress the anger in her chest, she bit her lower lip tightly, no matter what, in the battle between the Seven Princes, she won after all.
"I didn't know that Mrs. Lan arrived, and I missed the welcome, and I asked Mrs. Lan to forgive me. β
From afar, I heard Gu Jinxi's words without the slightest sincerity, and there was a little bit of ridicule in his words. Gu Jinlan turned her head to look at Gu Jinxi when she heard the sound, the milky white bandeau long skirt was covered with a lake green gauze dress, the goose yellow was lightly tied around her waist, and the steps on her head made a jingling sound with her footsteps;
The maid standing beside Gu Jinlan sensitively noticed the change in the momentum around Gu Jinlan, and immediately stood up and scolded coquettishly, "I don't salute Mrs. Lan when I see it presumptuously."
"Ying'er, stand down" Gu Jinlan heard this, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he lowered his voice and scolded lightly; he raised his head to look at Gu Jinxi, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and all the unwillingness and anger in his heart floated up, but he still had to endure it, "The maid is ignorant and offended my sister, and I ask my sister not to be surprised." β
When Gu Jinxi heard this, her eyebrows raised shallowly, "Sister Mrs. Lan is afraid that she has recognized the wrong person." β
"Sister, I" Gu Jinlan lowered his head when he heard this, his face couldn't help but darken, and there seemed to be a little flickering tears in his eyes, as if he was aggrieved and innocent; "Are you still blaming me, blaming me for marrying the Seventh Prince." β
Gu Jinxi looked at Gu Jinlan coldly, if it was really a dog that couldn't change eating, that pitiful appearance didn't even change in the slightest, and suddenly the corners of his mouth were hooked, sitting on the main seat, and before he could speak, he heard Ying'er, who had been reprimanded just now, speak, "Madam, you are Mrs. Lan of His Majesty's entitlement, and the mistress of the Seven Princes' Mansion who is also recognized by the Seventh Prince, she is just a commoner, why are you so polite to her." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Gu Jinxi, with a thick disdain in his eyes, "My wife calls you sister because she looks up to you, you"
"Oh" Without waiting for Ying'er to finish speaking, the corners of Gu Jinxi's mouth hooked obliquely.
"Slap" Gu Jinlan hurriedly got up and slapped Ying'er on the side of the face, there seemed to be something in his eyes, "Who allowed you to be so rude to Mrs. Ben's sister"
Ying'er suddenly knelt on the ground when she heard the sound, "Ying'er knows that she is wrong, and Mrs. is angry"
"Sister, the next person is not sensible, I" Gu Jinlan was at a loss like a child who had made a mistake, just looked at Gu Jinxi, "Sister, I, I'm not here this time, I'm really just"
"Is there enough of acting" Gu Jinxi finally couldn't stand it, held the teacup and took a sip of tea gently, and said lightly.
"Sister. In Gu Jinlan's watery eyes, tears fell, looking at Gu Jinxi, as if with a deep sense of disbelief, "Could it be that we really can't go back, obviously we weren't like this before, sister, do you forgive Lan'er, sister, are we still the same as before, okay?"
When Gu Jinxi heard this, she just laughed, dodging Gu Jinlan's outstretched hand, she really deserved to be a cheap man and a scumbag, this disgusting person's tricks were used so perfectly, "I, Gu Jinxi, have a brother and a brother in this life, but I don't have a sister." Mrs. Lan doesn't have to admit the wrong person, it's a small joke and a loss of royal face, that's not good. As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Ying'er, who was still kneeling on the ground, with a thick and unwilling smile in her eyes, and a rippling smile suddenly appeared on her face, "If Mrs. Lan has nothing else to do, then Miss Ben will be busy." β
"Gu Jinxi" When Gu Jinlan heard this, he finally couldn't help but drink softly.
"Don't pretend" Gu Jinxi's eyebrows were shallow, the tails of his eyes were frivolous, and he looked at Gu Jinxi with a strong taste of mockery.
Gu Jinlan's eyes were half-squinted, looking at Gu Jinxi quietly, his hands shrunk in his wide sleeves clenched into fists, "No matter what, after all, the last person to marry the Seventh Prince is me, it's me Gu Jinlan and not you Gu Jinxi"
"So" Gu Jinxi took a slow sip of tea and looked at her.
"What's so good about you" Gu Jinlan glared at Gu Jinxi with a crazy look on his face, "Since I was a child, all people have held you and spoiled you; brothers, even father, they only have you in their eyes, I am also his daughter, I am also their sister, why, why am I not convinced, I am not convinced"
Gu Jinxi had already heard enough about these, "So what?"
"So whatever is yours, whatever you want, what you love, I will snatch it. Gu Jinlan had a distorted smile on his face, "Don't you like the Seventh Prince the most, don't you have to marry him, ha, hahaha, I want to mess up your reputation, I want to make your reputation ruined, haha, haha, even if you ruin me, after all, I won, I won."
Gu Jinxi didn't speak, just quietly lowered his head and looked at the teacup in his hand.
"Look at you now, you're a broom star. Anyone who has a relationship with you is out of luck. If it weren't for you, Gu Guogong, whose father was still high, would have been smooth sailing for his brothers' careers, and if it weren't for you, how could the Su family end up like this" Gu Jinlan's eyes were round at the moment, and he leaned forward, as if he had entered a madness, pointing at Gu Jinxi, "What good are you, I came today just to see if you have fallen to such a point now, will you Gu Jinxi be as arrogant as in the past?"
When Gu Jinxi heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, looking at Qin Rui and Qin Xiang who came from afar, the corners of her mouth couldn't help showing a faint smile, and Gu Jinlan hung in the corner of her eyes, with a thick mockery, she shook her head, as if with a little pity, "Miss Ben really doesn't understand, what kind of situation Miss Ben has fallen into" said, looking at Gu Jinlan, she leaned up, "If it is the fall of Mrs. Lan to draw a clear relationship with the Gu Guogong Mansion and the Su family, then Miss Ben doesn't mind being reduced more completely"
Whether it is the Gu family or the Su family, they will always only become an obstacle for them
