"Sister Chunhe, I want to see my mother. I have something important to say. Get this lowly maid out of the way."
Gu Yue looked excited and pointed at Guo Taohua, with eyes that wished she could eat him alive.
She has grown up so big, how has she ever been so angry.
In the past and now, none of the servants in the mansion supported her.
Now, does a little lowly servant girl dare to block her way and seek death
"Miss San, please speak in a low voice. You woke up the wife, Miss San, you are fine, but the slaves are going to die."
Chun Heke was polite, but didn't let Gu Yue in.
Gu Yue stared, "Sister Chunhe, are you also stopping me from seeing my mother?"
Chunhe raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Third Miss, please don't wrong the servant girl. How dare the servant girl stop the third lady. It was the wife's own orders. She will not see anyone unless it is the master. Third Miss, please go back."
"You're talking nonsense. How could my mother not see me? You must have slandered in my mother's ears and made her misunderstand me. "
"Third Miss, be careful, if there is nothing you say, you have nose and eyes, where will the servants go to avenge their grievances?"
Chun He stabbed Gu Yue lightly.
Gu Yue was greatly stimulated, "You lowly servants, even I dare to stop you. Who gave you the courage? Believe it or not, I will make your life worse than death."
"Hey, the third girl is threatening people, it's really scary. The slaves are so scared!"
The servant girl Xia Cao heard the movement and came out from the ear room, mocking Gu Yue brightly.
Gu Yue was shocked and couldn't believe it.
When did the maid in Furongyuan become so bold that she dared to mock her openly.
She is mother's precious daughter, are these lowly servant girls really not afraid of mother's questioning
"You, you lowly servant girls who bully the Lord..."
Xia Cao sneered, "Slaves don't dare to bully the master. Instead of yelling here and arguing for the wife to rest, you might as well go back to your room and think about what you have done these days. Do you know that the wife is mad at you gone."
Gu Yue scolded Xia Cao angrily with staring eyes, "You are talking nonsense, my mother is not feeling well, it is because of too much work, it has nothing to do with me."
Xia Cao snorted, "Excuse me, third lady, for whom does the wife work hard every day? It's fine if the third lady doesn't understand the wife, and she looks clean, so she won't be afraid of hurting the wife's heart."
"Shut up and don't frame me."
Gu Yue violently pushed Guo Taohua away, and rushed towards Xia Cao standing under the eaves.
Guo Taohua staggered and almost fell to the ground. She quickly came back to her senses, and chased after Gu Yue and hugged Gu Yue from behind.
"The third girl is not allowed."
"Let me go, you bitch."
The servant girl Putao rushed into the yard, helped Gu Yue, and stretched out her hand to hit Guo Taohua, "Let go of my girl. You will pay for your life if you hurt my girl."
Guo Taohua was unmoved, anyway, she hugged Gu Yue tightly.
"Stop!"
Chunhe roared angrily, and the fight finally stopped.
Chunhe was so angry that there would be trouble wherever the third girl went.
Chun He stared at Gu Yue, "Miss San, my wife let you in."
Gu Yue was pleasantly surprised, her eyes lit up, "I knew it was your fault, how could my mother not see me."
Chun He was expressionless, "Miss San, don't gossip, you'd better go in quickly. My wife is very upset to be woken up by your ridicule."
Gu Yue shrank her neck and asked in a low voice, "Mother was really resting before?"
Chun He nodded, "The servant dare not lie to the third girl. However, the third girl doesn't believe what the servant says."
Gu Yue snorted, "Who let that lowly maid block my way and prevent me from coming in. If I was allowed to come in at the beginning, and I saw my mother resting with my own eyes, I wouldn't make such a fuss."
Chun He secretly rolled her eyes, opened the door curtain, and invited Gu Yue in.
Gu Yue walked into the bedroom.
Mrs. Xie was lying on the bed, looking sick.
"Yue'er is here, sit down."
"Is mother's health critical?"
Xie looked at Gu Yue, "I just woke up when I fell asleep."
Gu Yue looked ashamed, lowered her eyebrows and said pleasingly: "It's because of the daughter's fault that she disturbed the mother."
"It's okay, I'm awake anyway. You'll come over now, but is there something wrong?"
Xie's expression was indifferent, and his tone was a little alienated and indifferent. No longer the kindness and intimacy of the past.
Gu Yue didn't seem to notice, she just poured out what was in her heart.
"Mother, my daughter heard that the Luhou Mansion came to propose marriage and wanted to marry the second sister. How can this be possible. The second sister is a sick child, so she is not qualified to marry into the Luhou Mansion. If she really married, wouldn't she be inferior to her daughter?" She doesn't even have face with her mother."
Xie took a deep look at Gu Yue.
Although she agrees with Gu Yue's statement, she really doesn't like Gu Yue's attitude, as well as Gu Yue's way of doing things.
Mrs. Xie asked, "You came to see me for this reason?"
Gu Yue froze for a moment, then nodded heavily, "Mother, the marriage in Luhou's mansion should be rejected directly."
Mrs. Xie smiled, "You came here in such a hurry, you've just taken care of this matter. The second girl's marriage has to be approved by your father. Don't worry about it, go back to your room and prepare the wedding dress."
"Mother?"
Gu Yue didn't understand, "Is mother willing to watch the second sister marry into Luhou's mansion?"
Xie said: "Whether I want it or not is not important, your father has the final say on this marriage."
"But… "
"No but."
Xie interrupted Gu Yue, "Go back if you have nothing else to do. I'm tired and want to lie down for a while."
Gu Yue was tongue-tied, and it was only at this moment that she realized that Xie's attitude towards her was much colder.
Reminiscent of the attitudes of the maids, Gu Yue shivered instantly and turned pale.
She was trembling, uneasy, apprehensive, and flustered, "Mother, are you unhappy? Is it because of your daughter that you are angry? My daughter corrects, she must correct."
Xie raised her eyelids, "Don't think too much about anything you don't have. My mother is not feeling well these days, and the doctor told me to rest. Yue'er, you are being harassed so I can take a rest, okay? Wait until I recover. , and prepare a dowry for you."
Gu Yue looked at Mrs. Xie eagerly, with pitiful and innocent eyes.
Xie Shi has long been immune to similar eyes, and has been able to calm down like water.
When a person is completely disappointed in another person, no matter what the other person does, it can't arouse the slightest ripple in his heart.
"Mother, my daughter wants to be with you."
Mrs. Xie shook her head, resolutely refusing to answer, "You are here, I don't have a good rest, and I always think about your dowry. You should go back to your room, and I will ask you to talk another day."
Gu Yue was pitiful, but she didn't get any sympathy and pity from Mrs. Xie.
Gu Yue left the bedroom in panic and fear, her eyes were red.
Chun He sent her out, "Third Miss, please."
Gu Yue stared at Chunhe with red eyes, lowered her voice and asked, "Did you speak ill of me in mother's ear?"
Chun He frowned, "Third Miss, don't talk nonsense."
"It's really not you?"
Chunhe was a little impatient, "Miss San, you should understand that my wife is sick and in a bad mood. When my wife recovers, everything will recover."
"Really?"
Gu Yue was at a loss.
Chunhe nodded again and again, "Of course it is true. Miss San, hurry back."
Gu Yue was at a loss, and left the Furong Courtyard in a daze.
call!
Chunhe let out the breath he was holding in his heart.
It can be regarded as sending the third girl away.
Xia Cao came to Chunhe's side and complained: "It means you have a good temper and talk so much nonsense with her. My wife has given up on her now, so why do you bother with her?"
"Don't care if the wife has given up on her or not, she is always the master and the wife's own daughter."
"The third girl looks like a real daughter, she is clearly here to collect debts."
"You don't say a few words. Careful wife will punish you if she hears it."
Xia Cao laughed, "Sister Chunhe, if my wife gets angry, you have to take care of me."
"You need to be careful when you speak, so that I can take care of it for you."
Xia Cao nodded, "Don't worry. Next time the third girl comes over, I will definitely not show up. Let him quarrel, quarrel."
Chunhe looked helpless, "You, I don't know where you got so angry."
Xie didn't fall asleep all this time, so he sat on the bed and closed his eyes to rest his mind.
Chunhe sat on the footstool, doing her needlework. From time to time, he raised his head to look at Xie Shi.
It was dark and gloomy.
I heard people say that in such weather, it should be snowing soon.
Xie's heart felt empty, feeling like he had nowhere to live.
Maybe it was because of Gu Yue's anger. During this period of time, Xie's condition has not been good, and he is always unable to cheer up.
She thought that when the master came back, she would have a good talk with the master about the marriage in Luhou's mansion.
I don't know what attitude the master has towards this marriage.
I hope the master can object to this marriage.
The maid Dongmei came back from the outside and hurried to the bedroom, "Ma'am, it's not good. Uncle and master came to the door, looking very fierce, and said he wanted to find the master."
Startled, Mrs. Xie sat up abruptly, "You said uncle is here? Can the concierge let him in?"
"The concierge refused to let my uncle come to the door, so my uncle just let someone call in. Now the outer courtyard is full of trouble."
Mrs. Xie turned pale with shock, "Master Uncle called in? Is this serious?"
"Slaves dare not lie to the wife."
"Where is the master? Where is the master?"
"Master just returned home."
Mrs. Xie was very flustered, something must have happened, otherwise the eldest brother would not be able to tear himself apart and send someone to call the door directly.
The master must have done something to implicate the elder brother.
case!
Xie remembered the case.
She doesn't know the details of the case, but she knows that the master has been busy with a big case recently, leaving early and returning late every day.
Could it be that the master took the opportunity of handling the case to harm the elder brother
"Quick, help me up quickly. I'm going to the outer courtyard, I have to stop the master and uncle."
Chunhe hurriedly supported Xie Shi and put on the cloak for Xie Shi. Then he hurried out with Xie Shi.
In Zhilan Courtyard, Qingmei was panting for breath.
"Miss, it's not good. Mr. Xie came to the door with someone, and said he wanted to talk to Mr. Xie. But the servant girl saw Mr. Xie's posture, and it was obvious that if there was a disagreement, he would do it."
Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, "Master Xie called?"
Qingmei nodded repeatedly.
Gu Jiu sneered, "Who gave him the guts? Don't all the officials in the East Palace advertise themselves as gentlemen? Could it be that Mr. Xie has lost his mind and lost even the least face, so he brought someone directly to the door. It seems that your eyes are red from anxiety. Don't be too busy, follow me to the outer courtyard."
When she heard that Gu Jiu was going to the outer courtyard, Qing Mei became worried again.
"It's not appropriate for the girl to go to the outer courtyard. In case the master blames me..."
"When is this, and what's more important."
Gu Jiu was very straightforward, put on a cloak, put on a brass heater, went out against the cold wind, and rushed to the outer courtyard.
"Gu Zhili, brother-in-law Gu, today is a rare opportunity, I just want to have a good talk with you."
In the flower hall of the outer courtyard, Xie Mao stared at Mr. Gu with gloomy eyes.
Mr. Gu stood under the eaves with a straight face, unmoved.
"Xie Mao, you are also an official of the imperial court, and you actually brought someone to attack my mansion. Do you really think that this official can't cure you?"
Xie Mao smiled coldly, "Master Gu is majestic, I'm terrified. Of course you can punish me. What you're doing now isn't just to avenge yourself, to kill me and my whole family."
Mr. Gu smiled mockingly, "Xie Mao, let me remind you. I owe it to you to be able to sit in this position. You have today, and you are to blame."
"you… "
Xie Mao gritted his teeth.
He approached step by step.
Gu Quan led people to stand in front of Master Gu, "Master Xie, please be careful. If you do something, don't blame the little ones for being rude to you."
Xie Mao snorted coldly, "Get out of the way, I am not insane, I won't do anything to your master."
Gu Quanyi spoke righteously, "You don't even want to touch my master."
Xie Mao laughed mockingly, "Master Gu, are you so afraid of me?"
Master Gu frowned, "Let him come over."
"Master?" Gu Quan worried.
Master Gu stared at Xie Mao, "It's okay, I don't think he would dare to do anything under the noses of everyone."
Gu Quan had no choice but to lead someone out of a passage.
Xie Mao laughed out loud, "Brother-in-law Gu is really courageous."
Mr. Gu sneered, "I just know that you are just stern, and you don't have the guts to hurt me."
Xie Mao's face collapsed and he snorted.
He approached Mr. Gu, lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "My good brother-in-law, it is enough for you to investigate the case and find the Xue family, but whoever asked you to investigate deeply, you actually found the name of Donggong.
My good brother-in-law, are you really not afraid of death? You are not the only one who wants to bring down the Eastern Palace these years, just look at what happened to them.
Brother Gu, do you really want to be with those unlucky ghosts? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your wife and children.
If there is something wrong with you, what will you ask my sister, nephew, and niece to do? I heard that Yue'er has just engaged in a marriage. If something happened to you, the marriage might be blown up. "
Master Gu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Mao indifferently, "You are threatening me."
Xie Mao laughed, "No. I just remind you brother-in-law, enough is enough, and don't hesitate when it's time to stop. Only in this way can you live a long life."
Mr. Gu smiled coldly, "Your Donggong's own buttocks are not clean, you don't know how to wipe your buttocks secretly, but you come to threaten me. Did His Royal Highness ask you to do this, or did you make up your own mind?"
Xie Mao stared at Mr. Gu viciously, "Brother Gu, don't gossip, will you stop?"
Mr. Gu suddenly grabbed Xie Mao by the collar and lifted Xie Mao up, "Are you afraid? You, Xie Mao, are sometimes afraid. When you plot against me again and again, you should think of the consequences.
It was you who personally pushed me to the position of governor of the capital, if I don't take this opportunity to do something, wouldn't I be sorry for your kindness. Listen to me, it's not over yet. "
Xie Mao's eyes widened, "Are you really not afraid of death?"
Mr. Gu heheed twice, "Of course I am afraid of death. However, after the investigation of the case, I no longer have the final say. Xie Mao, you are so smart, don't you even understand this truth? Next, guess what will happen?" What's the matter? I advise you to wash your neck and wait to die."
"You don't want to kill me." Xie Mao's expression was extremely fierce, and he shook off Mr. Gu's hand viciously.
He straightened his collar and stared at Mr. Gu, "According to your wishes, there is no need to discuss this matter."
Master Gu snorted, "You still ask about something you already knew. Are you out of your mind?"
Xie Mao's eyes were crazy, like a cornered gambler, without the slightest bit of reserve and restraint as an official.
He pointed at Mr. Gu, "Just wait for me, we are not done with this matter."
Master Gu looked contemptuously, "Do whatever you can, I will wait for you. On the day you die, I will personally come to burn incense and paper for you. I will take care of your wife and children."
"Gu Zhili, you are shameless! I will never let you succeed, you are delusional." Xie Mao roared wildly.
"Brother!"
Mrs. Xie rushed to the flower hall of the outer courtyard and saw this scene.
Mrs. Xie panicked, and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, master, don't argue. If there is any conflict, can't you sit down and discuss it?"
