Shen Zhongbai didn't like her and Gu Zhihua didn't just happen in a day or two. No matter what the woman brought back looked like or why she was given a title, Gu Zhihua had no right to interfere. After all, she did not even act as a servant in front of Shen Zhongbai. Not as good as anything.
"Where are we going? Is there a place for me in this prince's palace?" Gu Zhihua wiped her tears. She naively thought that as long as she married Shen Zhongbai, she would be able to live a good life. Love is It will happen sooner or later.
Sure enough, her innocence and childishness let her know that some things are not what she takes for granted.
Qing Luo was helpless. After following Gu Zhihua for so many years, she had never seen her smart. She was usually very smart, but when it came to matters that really required wisdom, she was so stupid that she couldn't even save her own face and dignity.
"Madam, it's better to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now that Your Highness is doing this, I guess I can't save my face. From my perspective, it will be better if you go back. It would be great if His Highness comes to you. Even if he doesn't, you can at least If His Highness can feel your determination, maybe he can take you seriously?" Qing Luo said to herself. She knew that Gu Zhihua had no idea. If that was the case, then she thought maybe she could What about giving her a good suggestion
Gu Zhihua nodded suddenly, now he could accept the advice no matter who gave him, so the two of them set off quickly, taking advantage of the rising sun in the morning, and embarked on their way home.
That night, Gu Qiang was sent back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Probably because this matter was very embarrassing, everyone kept silent about it.
Prime Minister Gu sent a letter saying that he would stay in the palace for a few days. Probably the emperor felt very sorry about this and decided to entertain Prime Minister Gu well.
The courtyard was deserted. Gu Qiang was already very cold and quiet. Now he was sitting in the courtyard playing with the books in his hands. He could only hear the chirping of insects around him.
Tingfeng came out of the room, put her thick clothes on Gu Qiang, and then whispered: "Girl, it's too dark, you'd better go back to the house."
Unexpectedly, before Gu Qiang had time to get up, she saw Chui Xue running in from outside, panting as if something big had happened.
This girl Chui Xue is not as stable as Ting Feng. Whenever something unimportant happens, she will be nervous for a long time.
"How's it going?" Gu Qiang stood up, stretched, and asked calmly.
"There is news coming from the front yard. The old lady seems to be in a hurry. She is desperate." No one in this yard treats the old lady very well. It is expected that she is seriously ill now, and there is no need to make a fuss. Yes, it was just that some changes suddenly made this little girl who had not experienced much in the world nervous.
As the eldest granddaughter of the old lady, Gu Qiang had to be present, so she tightened the thick clothes around her body and said helplessly to Gu Su Liang in the back room: "Liang'er, come with me. There are so many things to do these days." Something has been done.”
After a while, Gu Suliang put on her clothes and walked out of the room, bleary-eyed, as if she had just woken up.
When I arrived at the old lady's yard at night, I found that the yard was very dark and not as brightly lit as Gu Qiang imagined. If the old lady really passed away soon, she would definitely have to call her because she liked to show off her personality. All my children and grandchildren are waiting here.
Calculating, this old thing didn't live very long. Guys like her who always do bad things should have accepted their fate of dying early. God is fair. Even if this bad guy is arrogant, he can't be too arrogant. Oh my god.
She gave Gu Suliang a gesture and walked to the main hall.
Like a cat in the dark night, Gusu Liang jumped onto the tree next to the wall and began to search around. First, he became familiar with the surrounding terrain. This was Shen Qianshan's teaching.
Gu Qiang only stayed in the main hall for a while when he heard someone speaking in the side hall. It was the voice of the old lady, because her voice was very unpleasant. After all, the old lady had drained the last of her water, just like a plant. Like a dead tree.
"I looked like I was going to die, but you finally got your wish?" The old lady's hoarse voice came, which made Gu Qiang's heart tremble. When people finally die, everything is meaningless.
But when a young person faces death, what kind of courage does it take to face it
With a slight cold snort, Mr. Ye was not as complimentary as expected. It seemed that he no longer had the patience to pretend to be respectful to the old lady, and said directly in a cold voice: "Yes, old man, you are finally going to die, and now you are going to die again." You don’t have the ability to cause trouble with me anymore, do you?”
Gu Qiang was silent. A maid wanted to come up to receive Gu Qiang, but was frightened by her movement and backed away.
Is Mr. Ye already so arrogant now? Even if the old lady is going to die, what if all this is her fault
I don’t know whether Ye finally couldn’t help but want to explode, or there was no face-to-face respect between her and the old lady in the first place
The old lady was so angry at Ye's words that she coughed twice, as if she wanted to get some water. Gu Qiang saw Ye standing in front of her through the crack in the door. She did not hand over the water, but He swept the water to the ground with his hands, laughed twice, and even his voice changed. It was a sneer, but there was a cry in his voice, as if he was helpless and desperate.
"Why bother with this? I am already the one who is going to be in the coffin. What's the use of arguing with me? Who is right and who is wrong? It doesn't matter anymore, does it?" The old lady continued to cough, and she could no longer breathe. , Gu Qiang saw through the crack in the door that the old lady's neck was tight and her face was purple.
Ye seemed to have calmed down at this time and said to the old lady: "You are still so excessive and always do what you want. Have you ever thought that you have come to this end because of yourself?" !”
Although Ye had just calmed down, she seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes were scarlet with excitement. Gu Qiang could only see her back. At night, the surrounding darkness filled the air like mist. Her back In the dim light, it trembled and trembled.
"What do you mean you asked for it? I am... dying of old age, ahem, hahaha." The old lady laughed. Even if the god of death had already walked in front of her, she could still accept her ending. This made Gu Qiang's heart If she moves, if she walks in at this moment, maybe the old lady can be rescued. Although she may not live for long afterwards, in the eyes of a dying person, as long as she can survive, even if it is just one more second, You probably have to fight for it, right
Thinking about the current situation, Gu Qiang had no intention of going in.
Because she seemed to have discovered something different. For example, at this moment, Ye's whole body was trembling with anger, and she said with a trembling voice: "You clearly know that I hate your son, and you also know that we are not suitable at all, but for Your selfish interests have harmed so many people. Now you have seen that that little bitch Gu Qiang is so powerful that the entire Prime Minister's Mansion cannot contain her. If she knows that you have framed her mother, you Do you think you will be at peace if you die?"
It seemed that the air in the room suddenly cooled down. Gu Qiang stood at the door, clenching her fists and standing there quietly. She was cold from head to toe. Her mother's departure seemed inevitable, even at that time she She was still so young that she had no idea what kind of woman her mother was in her heart and what kind of story she had. All she had was resentment towards the mother who left early.
This is also the reason why she liked Ye so much before. When everyone has parents, Gu Qiang must have them. This is like a part of life, it should exist, and Ye just fills this gap. , As a result, for a long time, Gu Qiang didn't know what kind of role his mother was.
Now that she heard the conversation between Mr. Ye and the old lady, she felt a chill all over her body. She couldn't help but want to go in and ask what happened back then, but she still stayed there obediently. She felt that her legs were sore and her heart was sore. It was beating wildly, and she could hear the sound of her heart.
"I don't take that bitch seriously at all. Gu Qiang is just like her mother. She doesn't have much future. When it comes to Gu Zhihua..." When the old lady said this, she stood up with difficulty, and then looked straight up. With Ye's family.
Probably because she was about to die, she was very ferocious and her eyes were cold.
Ye met the old man's eyes and wished she could go up and kill her with her own hands, but she didn't do so because she had too many things in her heart that she wanted to sort out with the old lady, it was like a ball of cotton stuck in her heart. Chest, suffocating her.
"How is Zhihua?" When Mrs. Ye mentioned her precious daughter, she became nervous. The old lady smiled and lay down on the bed again. It was a mahogany bed, with an oil lamp burning at the head of the bed, and the light flickered. The photo of her old face without makeup was very scary.
"She is not my son's child at all. Don't think I don't know. You were so good with that man before you got married that you wanted to stay together all day long. But after you came here, you gave birth prematurely. Gu Zhihua? My son is stupid, but I have a clear mind. It seems that you can't deceive me." When the old lady said this, she used too much air and started coughing again. Her whole body shrank together. When a maid heard the old lady's voice, she rushed in and then took Ye Shi pushed it aside and began to look at the old lady's condition with concern.
Ye stood there as if she had lost her soul, her eyes were cold, and her whole body seemed to be frozen. The maid pushed her and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the maid next to her had quick eyes and quick hands and supported her.
She held her head and was supported by the maid as she walked out, and happened to bump into Gu Qiang who wanted to go in.
Gu Qiang's face turned pale. She wanted to hide away, but she found that due to the old lady's sudden cough, all the maids had gathered here. The lights were brightly lit around her. Gu Qiang bit her lip, her heart was in chaos, but her face was calm. A symbolic nod was considered a greeting.
