Xie Shi was tired and slumped on the chair.
After taking a few breaths, she said to Gu Shan, "Shan'er, help your sister up."
Gu Shan stepped forward and helped Gu Yue, who was beaten stupidly, "Third sister, I will help you up."
Gu Yue silently pushed Gu Shan away, and stood up while supporting the table.
Xie asked with a straight face, "Yue'er, do you know why I beat you?"
Gu Yue raised her head, weeping silently, her eyes full of grievances.
Xie snorted coldly, and took out the yellow handkerchief from his bosom, "Do you recognize this handkerchief?"
When Gu Yue saw the handkerchief, there was something she didn't understand.
Her face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she couldn't even speak.
"Mother, I, I..."
Xie's face was stern, the anger that had subsided suddenly reappeared.
"Do you know where I found this handkerchief?"
Gu Yue lowered her head, in a state of confusion. For a while, I don't know what to do, how to say.
"This handkerchief fell out of Xie Xian's arms. If I hadn't been quick to grab the handkerchief and hide it first, your father and your second uncle would have known about this handkerchief. Have you thought about the consequences? "
Gu Yue's small face was snow white, obviously she was terrified.
"Mother, here, this handkerchief fell in the yard a few days ago, but I haven't found it yet. My daughter doesn't know why it ended up in my cousin's hands."
Gu Yue forcefully defended, tears fell down, pitifully.
But Xie didn't believe it.
Snapped!
Xie slapped the table with his palm, and the teacups jumped, making the sound of porcelain colliding.
That voice was frightening to hear.
"Up to now, you still dare to quibble."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Gu Yue.
"what… "
Gu Yue screamed in shock, frightened out of her wits. I was even more afraid than when I was beaten before.
Mother never touched her.
Today, mother not only moved her hands, but also threw a teacup at her.
The teacup rolled on the carpet, soaking the carpet with tea, leaving a large tea stain on the rich carpet. It looks very obtrusive.
Gu Yue was so wronged that she burst into tears. She slid softly to the ground and knelt in front of Mrs. Xie, "Mother, my daughter knows her mistake."
"Cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry. Is crying useful? Is it useful to just say you know your mistakes?"
Mrs. Xie was furious, got up, came to Gu Yue, grabbed Gu Yue's hair, and asked with a ferocious expression: "What's so good about Xie Xian, why do you have a crush on him
In vain I have taught you for more than ten years, who is not good for you, and you actually have a good for a waste.
You threw my painstaking efforts for so many years on the ground, and stepped on two feet, do you know that my mother's heart is bleeding. "
"Daughter is wrong, daughter will never dare again."
Gu Yue is really scared!
Her eyes were cloudy, her makeup was smudged, her hair was loose, and her clothes were wrinkled.
She looked at Mrs. Xie anxiously, "Mother, give your daughter one more chance. My daughter won't dare to mess around again."
Xie snorted coldly, "Tell me, why did you date Xie Xian? Why did you fall in love with him?"
"My daughter didn't like him."
Up to now, Gu Yue can only desperately deny it.
"Daughter dare not lie to mother, daughter really didn't like Xie Xian. Xie Xian belongs to the second sister, daughter just wanted to see how bad Xie Xian was, and wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule second sister.
The daughter really didn't know how that handkerchief got into Xie Xian's hands. Xie Xian must have framed me. "
Gu Yue's eyes were crazy, and the more he talked, the more he felt that this was the case.
She was deceived by her own lies, no, she was brainwashed by her own lies.
If you want to brainwash others, you have to brainwash yourself first.
Only in this way can she firmly say that Xie Xian is setting her up.
Mrs. Xie stared at her, "You and Xie Xian really have nothing to do?"
Gu Yue nodded frequently, "My daughter swears, my daughter has only met Xie Xian twice, but there is absolutely no personal relationship."
Xie stared at Gu Yue firmly.
Gu Yue's heart was pounding, beating wildly.
But her expression is very real.
Xie suddenly laughed, "It's cold on the ground, what are you doing kneeling?"
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xie helped Gu Yue up with her own hands, dusted off her body, and arranged her clothes and headgear. He also took out a handkerchief to wipe off the crying makeup on his face.
Afterwards, Mrs. Xie asked softly: "I treat you so harshly, do you hold any grudges?"
Gu Yue shook her head cautiously, "Mother did this for the good of her daughter."
Xie said with emotion: "For you two sisters, I am heartbroken. Do you know that this handkerchief was almost found by your second uncle.
If he finds out about this handkerchief, he will definitely use it as a threat to force me to marry you to Xie Xian.
You are my mother's darling, and you will marry into a princely family in the future, how could you marry that prodigal son Xie Xian. Xie Xian is only worthy of marrying that sick child, Gu Jiu. "
Gu Yue lowered her head, with tears still on her face, but her heart suddenly calmed down. It seems to have grown up in an instant.
Xie took Gu Yue's hand and asked her to sit beside Gu Shan.
Mrs. Xie sat at the top and looked at the two daughters.
She suddenly discovered that Gu Shan had grown up a bit and looked much better than when she was a child.
"Xie Xian is incompetent, the master is furious, and has already rejected the marriage between Xie Xian and Gu Jiu. Thanks to my busy work for so long, it was all ruined in the hands of Xie Xian, and I am so angry. Shan'er, you have too many ideas. What should I do next?"
Gu Shan was a little surprised, but she realized it in a blink of an eye, and said calmly: "Now, it's better not to move."
"yes?"
Xie was noncommittal.
She stared at Gu Yue again, "Yue'er, copy the family rules a hundred times after you go back, and don't ask someone to write it for you. During this period of time, you should not go out, cultivate your self-cultivation, and sharpen your temper."
Gu Yue panicked for a moment, which was equivalent to grounding her.
She replied in a low voice, "Daughter listens to mother."
Xie nodded, "When copying the family rules, don't forget to reflect.
This time, even though there is nothing wrong between you and Xie Xian, it is your fault that you carelessly kept your personal belongings and caused today's misunderstanding.
You have to realize your mistakes deeply. Before speaking and doing things in the future, go through it in your mind first, think twice before acting. Remember? "
"Daughter remember." Gu Yue responded with a low eyebrow.
Mrs. Xie said "Yes", "Both of you step back. Don't talk about today's matter."
"Thank you mother."
Gu Yue and Gu Shan got up and left the upper room together.
The two sisters walked in the garden, one behind the other.
The maids followed at a distance, never taking half a step closer.
Gu Yue stopped and didn't look back.
She pinched the tender leaves of the flowers, gritted her teeth and asked, "Fourth sister, what do you want to do with me all the way? Haven't you seen enough of my jokes?"
Gu Shan took a few steps forward and met Gu Yue face to face, "Third Sister, are you dating Cousin Xie in private, is it the same as before, you have to snatch everything that Second Sister has but you don't?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Gu Yue snapped, "Gu Shan, figure it out, I'm your real sister. Who are you speaking for?"
Gu Shan said calmly: "From the perspective of the third sister, no matter how I think about it, I can't understand why you fell in love with Cousin Xie.
After much deliberation, there is only one reason, you want to grab Xie Xian, you want to see the pitiful appearance of the second sister when she was betrayed by Xie Xian, and you want to see the jokes of the second sister.
Anyway, the more pitiful she is, the happier you are.
It's a pity that the marriage was blown, and the second sister will not marry Xie Xian. The three elder sisters worked hard to plan a game, but the bamboo basket fetching water was all in vain, what a pity! "
Gu Yue snorted coldly, "Have you finished?"
Gu Shan said solemnly: "Third sister, you don't need to target the second sister everywhere. The second sister is not in good health, and coupled with the decline of the Su family, her marriage is definitely not as good as yours. Why are you doing this?"
Gu Yue glared at Gu Shan fiercely, "Shut up. What do you know? You don't know anything, you can only play tricks on you. Get out of the way! I feel disgusted when I see you now!"
Gu Yue stretched out her hand and pushed Gu Shan away.
Gu Shan's feet were unstable and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he supported the flowers next to him.
When she stood up, Gu Yue had already walked away.
Gu Shan frowned, stomped her feet, and went to talk to her eldest sister, Gu Zhen.
