"Madam, the eighth young master was beaten by the third young master."
The servant girl Dongmei stood in front of Mrs. Xie and said tremblingly.
Gu Yue and Gu Shan looked at each other.
Gu Yue said: "The third brother is so domineering, he didn't fight enough outside, and he went home to beat the eighth brother. This matter must not be let go."
Gu Shan frowned: "Let's ask what's going on first, I think third brother won't hit someone for no reason."
Xie was leaning against the head of the bed with a gloomy expression.
She stared at Dongmei and asked, "What's going on? Why did the third child and the eighth child fight?"
Dongmei looked hesitant.
Xie scolded angrily, "Are you dumb?"
Dongmei hurriedly said: "The Eighth Young Master ran to Zhilan Courtyard and threatened to beat the Second Miss. After the Third Young Master found out, he rushed over and beat the Eighth Young Master."
Hearing this, Gu Yue cursed secretly, the eighth brother is really useless, he can't handle even small things well.
Gu Shan hurriedly asked: "Master Eighth, are you okay?"
Dongmei shook her head and said, "The eighth young master is fine, but I am sorry to come to see my wife."
Gu Shan laughed, "Brother really, don't you know that everyone is worried about him?"
With that said, Gu Shan looked towards Mrs. Xie.
Xie's expression was gloomy and he didn't make a sound.
She looked at the servant girl Chunhe indifferently.
Chunhe understood, and hurriedly said: "My wife is not feeling well, so I will invite the master over here right now. I will work hard on the third girl, and the fourth girl will take care of the wife."
Gu Yue nodded and said, "Sister Chunhe, go quickly, we are here to guard you, so you don't have to worry."
Chunhe left in a hurry.
Xie closed his eyes slightly, clenched his fists in his sleeves.
Can Chunhe invite the master here
Chunhe came to the outer courtyard and met two brothers Gao Sanfu and Gao Erfu.
"Second year in charge, why are you back? You don't even go to greet your wife."
Gao Erfu felt guilty and did not dare to see Mrs. Xie. But not afraid of Chunhe.
He said casually: "I'm tired of staying in the country, and I'll go back to the city for two days. Chunhe, don't talk nonsense in front of your wife. If your wife asks, just pretend you haven't seen me. Next time I will send it to your house." food."
Chunhe laughed, "Second year housekeeper, you said that. If my family doesn't receive food in a few days, I'll tell my wife about your sneaking back to the city."
Gao Erfu laughed, "Don't worry, there will be a grain truck coming into the city tomorrow, and it will be delivered to your home."
Chunhe smiled and left contentedly.
Gao Erfu hurriedly asked his younger brother Gao Sanfu, "Is there anything wrong?"
Gao Sanfu looked at him with great disdain, "Get out of the house quickly, so that no one can see you. I'll send you the deed of prostitution of Nanny Gui and the other three later."
Gao Erfu had a hippie smile on his face, and he didn't care at all, "My good brother, this matter depends entirely on you."
Gao Sanfu said impatiently: "Don't make trouble for me. There will be another time..."
"I promise there will be no next time."
Gao Erfu left the Governor's Mansion with peace of mind.
Chunhe came to the study in the outer courtyard and asked Mr. Gu to go to the upper room.
"My lord, my wife is ill. Please, my lord, go and see my wife."
Chunhe said with a low eyebrow.
Master Gu frowned with a serious expression.
Chunhe continued: "My wife has already regretted it. These days I don't think about eating and drinking, and I keep thinking about the master. Please ask the master to visit the wife."
Master Gu put down the document in his hand, pondered for a while, then got up, and walked outside in silence.
Chunhe was dumbfounded, not knowing why.
The butler Gu Quan reminded, "Hurry up and go to the room to inform the wife, so that the wife is ready."
Chunhe came back to his senses, happy and excited.
Sure enough, the master is still thinking about the relationship between husband and wife for many years with his wife. It appears that the rain will soon pass.
Chunhe went back to the upper room first, "Madam, the master is here."
Xie was overjoyed, and hurriedly sat up from the bed and tidied up her clothes.
"Is my face ugly?" she asked.
Gu Yue hurriedly said: "Mother looks good anytime."
However, Gu Shan said: "My mother has a sick face, and my father will definitely feel distressed when he sees it."
Xie grabbed Gu Shan's hand and asked excitedly, "Really?"
Gu Shan nodded again and again, "Really."
Xie Shi smiled with satisfaction.
Gu Yue secretly glared at Gu Shan, knowing that she was playing tricks.
Gu Shan lowered her head, not to argue with Gu Yue
Mr. Gu walked with the wind, and strode into the bedroom.
The light in the bedroom then dimmed.
The moment Mrs. Xie saw Master Gu, tears fell down her cheeks.
She looked at Mr. Gu with tears in her eyes, with a pitiful expression and endless thoughts in her eyes.
After many days, the master was finally willing to step into the door of the upper room and come to see her.
"master!"
A cry, full of longing, remorse, self-blame, and joy.
Xie looked at the tall man in front of him eagerly like a little girl who had just begun to fall in love.
Master Gu frowned, but he was very happy in his heart.
Xie's gentleness and the admiration in his eyes are what he likes.
With a straight face on purpose, he sat down on the edge of the bed.
"I heard you were sick?"
While weeping, Mrs. Xie said with a smile: "Master came to visit my concubine, my illness will recover soon."
"Nonsense, a husband is not a doctor, how can he cure diseases. If you are not healthy, you have to see a doctor."
Mrs. Xie nodded slightly, "I listen to the master. Dr. Xu prescribed the medicine, and I will take it on time every day."
Mr. Gu hummed, he seemed a little dissatisfied, but at the same time he seemed very satisfied.
He asked with a serious face, "What did Doctor Xu say?"
Mrs. Xie opened her mouth, but said, "The concubine's body doesn't matter."
Chunhe was quick-witted, and hurriedly said for Mrs. Xie: "Doctor Xu said that the wife is weak and needs to rest. But the wife can't let go of the affairs of the house. She works hard every day, and she has to worry about the second girl. It's a pity that the second girl doesn't understand the wife. A lot of hard work."
Gu Yue shook her wit and said, "Father, the second sister just returned home, and she made my mother angry. The second sister is too ignorant."
Master Gu frowned, his face extremely ugly.
Knowing that something bad was going to happen, Mrs. Xie hurriedly yelled at Gu Yue.
"Shut up, Yue'er! Your second elder sister just came back from the Tianmen Temple. She is exhausted, and she is not considerate. You just don't know how to be considerate, and gossip behind your back. I teach you how to love sisters on weekdays, have you forgotten? "
Gu Yue's face was visibly panicked, "Mother, calm down. The daughter also feels unworthy for her mother, and she speaks out loud for a while."
Xie was annoyed, "How dare you say..."
"Forget it, don't scold Yue'er."
Master Gu stopped her, "Yue'er is also thinking of you, even if there is something wrong, you should still be considerate of her filial piety."
Xie's heart was secretly happy, and she said gratefully: "It's still the master who has insight. Sometimes the concubine is too anxious, anxious to make plans for the second girl, but never really think about what the second girl wants.
She is not in good health and can't stand a little breath. If something goes wrong, I keep everything in my heart. I'm really afraid that she will get sick.
Today she is willing to have a heart-to-heart talk with my concubine, although the words are a bit inappropriate, but my concubine is very happy.
After so many years of hard work, it's not easy for the second girl to finally speak the truth to me. "
After finishing speaking, Xie wiped the corners of his eyes with a considerate and tolerant look.
Even if she was wronged by her stepdaughter, as the head of the house, she would not be as knowledgeable as a little girl.
Master Gu patted the back of Xie Shi's hand, "Madam, you have worked hard."
Mrs. Xie became excited, and shook her head slightly, "It's not hard for me to share my worries for the master."
Mr. Gu said: "Let's leave it at that for the second girl's matter. Madame take good care of her body and come to visit you again for my husband's sake."
Full of disappointment, Mrs. Xie asked eagerly, "Master, won't you stay for dinner?"
"I won't stay today, the yamen still has a lot of business to deal with, so I'll rest in the study tonight."
Master Gu seemed to be trying to appease Mrs. Xie by mentioning that he would sleep in the study tonight.
Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Master should also take care of himself."
"Don't worry about me, take care of your illness. Yue'er, Shan'er, take good care of your mother and don't make your mother unhappy."
"My daughter obeys my father's orders."
Gu Yue and Gu Shan stood up and said in unison.
Master Gu comforted Mrs. Xie again, and then left the upper room.
Xie's body relaxed, and he chose a comfortable position to lie on the head of the bed, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Although the master didn't stay for dinner, it's a pity. But aside from this point, today's meeting went well.
It went smoothly beyond her imagination.
It's good that the master started to care about her again and be considerate of her.
Aunt Bai's happy days came to an end.
The corner of Xie's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smug smile.
Aunt Bai is a bitch, after this time is over, she will take good care of her.
…
Mr. Gu returned to the study in the outer courtyard and tapped lightly on the table.
The butler Gu Quan stood by and waited on him.
Master Gu asked suddenly: "What do you think of the performance of the second girl in recent months?"
Gu Quan thought about this question for a while, and finally said concisely: "The second girl has grown up."
Master Gu laughed when he heard the words, "It has indeed grown up."
There are strategies, means, and learned to play tricks.
On the surface, what happened at Tianmen Temple seems to have been arranged by Gu Ting.
But Mr. Gu knew that Gu Ting didn't have that brain. It must be Gu Jiu who came up with the idea behind the scenes.
But Mr. Gu is not disgusted, but happy.
After being a Hou family, the first daughter of a big family, how can she get along without tricks.
A big family doesn't need to be silly and sweet, what a big family wants is a daughter who is mature, steady, resourceful and resourceful.
Don't cause trouble at home, and can balance the interests of the husband's family and the mother's family after marriage, and become a veritable link between the husband's family and the mother's family.
If Gu Jiu is still the same sick person from the past, who is only good at patience and has no other advantages, Mr. Gu will naturally not care about Gu Jiu's affairs, let alone stand up for Gu Jiu again and again.
Just like the first time when Gu Jiu got rid of Tao Hong.
According to the rules, Mrs. Li and those people can be killed directly.
But Mr. Gu didn't do that, but handed everyone over to Mrs. Xie.
This move was not just to take care of Xie's face. More importantly, at that time, Gu Jiu wasn't worth Mr. Gu's attention.
Afterwards, the Xie family's marriage contract was rejected for the second time, and the Tianmen Temple incident was the third time. Although Gu Jiu never showed up, Mr. Gu gradually realized that this daughter is not simple and deserves to be cultivated.
But this time...
