In the bedroom, Gu Jiu was nestling in Qingmei's arms, and there was a shocking bruise on her neck.
The moment Gu Jiu saw Master Gu, tears fell down in a flash.
She wept silently, her eyes were dim with tears, and her eyes were full of admiration. She has a sickly look on her face that makes people feel pitiful.
Seeing Gu Jiu, Master Gu was startled.
He didn't care much about this daughter. His daughter was ill, and he didn't come to see her a few times.
It's just that I didn't expect that Gu Jiu would be so sick and weak after not seeing him for just a month or two.
It was said that Gu Jiu was recuperating from her illness. Judging by her appearance, she didn't recover from her illness, but her body was damaged.
Gu Daren frowned suddenly, the anger towards Gu Jiu in his heart disappeared in a blink of an eye.
But he still had a straight face, "What's going on?"
Gu Jiu signaled Qingmei to help her up, and bowed to Master Gu with a weak face, "My daughter will not be able to be filial by her father's side in the future, please forgive me."
"Nonsense. If you are sick, take care of your illness. What short-sightedness are you looking for? It's just nonsense."
Although Master Gu's tone was stern, there was also a father's concern for his daughter in his words.
Gu Jiu smiled desolately, and tears fell slowly, drop by drop. Gu Jiu with this appearance is so wronged and helpless, which makes people feel extremely distressed.
"It's not that my daughter is talking nonsense. Even if my daughter doesn't commit suicide today, I'm afraid she won't live for a few more days."
After finishing speaking, Gu Jiu picked up the handkerchief, covered her mouth, and coughed.
The part of the arm exposed outside the sleeve was thin and slender, not at all what a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl should have.
Master Gu frowned, and looked at Gu Jiu again. This is his daughter? Why is it getting weaker and weaker after recuperation. Didn't the doctor say it's just a general cold
Mrs. Xie stood beside Mr. Gu, saw this, and hurriedly said: "Second girl, you can't talk nonsense! You are still young, so don't think about it. Hurry up and lie down on the bed and drink the medicine."
Gu Jiu glanced at Tao Hong who was still kneeling on the ground, and said softly, "Return to Madam, I dare not drink medicine."
"If you're sick, how can you not take medicine. You child, you have a stubborn temper." Xie clearly cared, but he was actually accusing Gu Jiu of playing petty temper and causing trouble, which is outrageous.
Gu Jiu coughed lightly, and her whole body became more and more weak.
She bowed her head slightly.
Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.
When it comes to acting, Gu Jiu thinks he has never lost.
I have never lost in my previous life, and I will not lose in this life.
Since she woke up in the early morning, she has been thinking about this matter, how can she let Mrs. Xie end it with just a few words.
"My wife misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to take medicine, but I don't dare to drink it."
Xie scolded angrily, "You're talking nonsense again. Why don't you dare to drink the medicine that the doctor specially prescribed for you. Are you accusing the doctor of incompetent medical skills, or are you blaming me and the master for not taking good care of you?"
"I… "
"You are simply messing around! The doctor has already ordered you to have a good child. Look at you, you have disturbed the whole family, and even the master has been alarmed by you. Don't you know what's wrong?"
Xie asked repeatedly, Gu Jiu cried silently, very pitifully. She was clearly a poor little girl who was treated harshly by her stepmother.
Xie secretly thought, the little girl knows how to cry and cry all day long, it's bad luck. After the master is gone, I will clean you up.
Gu Jiu looked at Master Gu weakly, "Father!"
How desperate, sad, terrified, and terrified this father is.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xie was very angry. If she dared to pretend, she was about to reprimand when she opened her mouth. Unexpectedly, Master Gu suddenly raised his hand to stop Mrs. Xie.
Gu Jiu looked at Mr. Gu. Since she woke up, she spent most of her time thinking about Mr. Gu's character, how to play this scene so as to impress him.
Mr. Gu, Gu Zhili, is an official of the third rank, and is currently the governor of Jinzhou.
Mr. Gu's ability to occupy a high position at such an age depends on his own ability and Zumeng.
Master Gu's father, that is, Gu Jiu's grandfather, and the current Pingnanhou are brothers of the same mother.
Ping Nanhou is the eldest son, and Gu Jiu's grandfather is the second son.
Later, the two brothers separated, and Gu Jiu's grandfather lived in Beppu. The two mansions in the capital are separated by a courtyard wall.
Speaking of which, Gu Jiu can be regarded as the queen of the Hou family.
As for Mr. Gu, who grew up in the Marquis Mansion, he is well-informed and knows a little about his private life.
So when Gu Jiu showed fear in his eyes, it instantly touched a certain corner of his heart.
"Second girl, you just said that it's not that you don't want to drink medicine, but you don't dare to take medicine. Why?"
"Master..." Mrs. Xie was anxious.
Master Gu waved his hand to stop Xie Shi from speaking, and even sat down on the chair in front of the desk, as if he wanted to patiently listen to Gu Jiu's story.
Gu Jiu blessed his body, and he was so tired that he was out of breath with just this simple movement.
Her weak appearance further showed that she said that she did not dare to drink the medicine before, because she was afraid that there was something inside.
Gu Jiu took a handkerchief and wiped away tears, "Father Rong said, after my daughter got sick, the servant girl Taohong has always been in charge of decocting and feeding the medicine.
Every time my daughter drank the medicine, she felt sleepy. After waking up, I felt heavy again, palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and was always out of breath.
At the beginning, the daughter only thought that she was weak and could not stand the power of the medicine. It's just that as time goes on, now my daughter can't even get out of bed.
My daughter also asked the doctor, and the doctor said that her daughter just had a common cold. But why is the condition getting worse and worse. The daughter didn't want to cause more trouble, let alone doubt the people around her. But today... today..."
Gu Jiu broke down in tears.
Master Gu asked, "What happened today?"
"Today, my daughter found out that her name is the second daughter of the Fuzhong, but in the hearts of some black-hearted people, I am afraid that she is not as good as a maid. They wish that their daughter will die soon. After death, they will not have to wait around day and night, and relax. Song will find a new master."
"Where did you say that?"
Gu Jiu wiped away her tears, and pointed to the medicine bag placed in a corner of the shelf, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, my daughter would not believe it. There are such vicious people in the world. They all hope that their daughter will die early."
Mrs. Xie interjected, "Second girl, don't talk nonsense. From top to bottom, everything is in order in this mansion, and everyone abides by their duties. Why are there black-hearted people? Who would dare to wish you an early death."
Gu Jiu said softly: "My wife is busy managing the important affairs of the house all day long, so it is inevitable that the situation of Zhilan Courtyard will be negligent. The black-hearted person, seeing that his wife has never asked Zhilan Courtyard, naturally has two hearts."
"Master, listen to this, she is accusing me, a mother, of not caring enough about her! Master Mingjian, I work hard every day and discipline my children, how have I ever slack off." Xie wiped her tears with a handkerchief , a look of being wronged and heartbroken.
Gu Jiu said lightly: "My wife misunderstood. It is because my wife is tired and thin from working day and night that I dare not disturb my wife with the little things around me. If I distract my wife, it will be my fault."
Mrs. Xie wanted to say more, but Mr. Gu didn't bother to listen.
He raised his hand to stop, "Bring the package on the shelf."
The housekeeper, Gu Quan, stepped forward and took off the medicine bag.
Master Gu said with a straight face, "Open it!"
The medicine bag was opened, and it was full of medicinal materials, and it was obviously moldy and spoiled.
In an instant, Master Gu's face darkened.
Qing Mei immediately knelt down, "Master, please be the master for my girl. Today, the servant was ordered to go to the storeroom to get medicinal materials to make medicine for the girl, and the woman in the storehouse directly threw these medicinal materials to the servant girl.
The servant wanted to reason, but the mother-in-law said that Taohong usually used such medicinal materials to decoct the girl. Anyway, it would not kill anyone, so why should the servant be special. The servant has no choice but to bring back the medicinal materials first. "
"You're talking nonsense!" Tao Hong suddenly yelled, "Master Mingjian, this servant has never given a girl decoction with moldy and spoiled medicinal materials."
But Qingmei said, "If the servant girl speaks a false word, she will be struck by lightning."
Taohong's expression turned pale, and she pointed at Qingmei, "Why did you want to kill me? I know, you hate me for taking your place, so you wait for an opportunity to take revenge on me. I'm going to fight you."
Taohong pounces on Ome.
Qingmei shouted exaggeratedly.
"Stop her!" Master Gu was furious.
The boys rushed forward, controlled Tao Hong in twos and twos, and blocked her mouth by the way.
Mr. Gu slapped the table hard, it was too shameful.
Even if he didn't care about his daughter, he wouldn't allow his servants to abuse her like this.
And this maid named Tao Hong is simply lawless. Dare to hit someone in front of him, one can imagine how arrogant he is on weekdays.
