Gu Jiu stepped forward and supported Gu Zhen's arm, "Big sister, I'll help you up."
Gu Zhen felt that she had become a clown, and she was already ashamed to face others.
Hearing Gu Jiu's voice, Gu Zhen looked up at her.
Then she threw herself into Gu Jiu's arms and burst into tears.
"Second sister, what should I do?"
In front of so many people, with such a big loss of face, she will become everyone's laughing stock.
woo woo...
She is ashamed to face others, she might as well die.
Gu Jiu said: "Big Sister's clothes are dirty, I'll take Big Sister to change."
Qingmei stepped forward and helped Gu Jiu lift Gu Zhen up.
However, Gu Zhen always hid in Gu Jiu's arms, refusing to get up.
She couldn't face the eyes of everyone, she didn't even have the courage to stand up, let alone leave here.
It's better to be an ostrich, bury your head, and pretend nothing happened.
While crying, Gu Zhen cast aside her timidity.
But she really didn't have the courage to stand up, it was too embarrassing.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, glanced casually, and saw Gu Yue and Gu Shan hiding in the crowd, frowning with disdain in their eyes.
Especially Gu Yue, who could barely hide her disgust.
It's really embarrassing, I don't want people to know that Gu Zhen is my concubine. If people find out, they will lose face.
Thinking so in Gu Yue's heart, she murmured to Gu Shan, "Fourth sister, what do you think?"
Gu Shan frowned and thought for a while, "Let Second Sister handle it. Second Sister can handle it well."
Gu Yue sneered, "She's a sick child..."
"Stop saying that second sister is a sick child." Gu Shan interrupted Gu Yue rudely.
Can the sick young man win the battle with his mother again and again
Even if he was really sick, he was only physically sick, but the second sister's brain was not sick.
Gu Yue stared at Gu Shan, unable to believe that Gu Shan dared to interrupt her.
Gu Shan looked directly at Gu Yue without showing any weakness.
But Gu Yue's gaze was too scary, and thinking of her mother's doting on Gu Yue, Gu Shan suddenly became a little scared, she couldn't help but look away, admitting to be cowardly.
Gu Yue snorted coldly, gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice, "Fourth sister, you'd better make it clear that I am your real sister."
Gu Shan was a little bit unwilling, and finally nodded, "I know. Please don't argue with me, Third Sister."
"Huh!" That's more or less the same.
Seeing that Gu Shan confessed, Gu Yue no longer pursued it.
Gu Jiu bent down, lowered her head, leaned close to Gu Zhen's ear and whispered: "Big sister, do you know that more and more people have already looked over.
If you don't leave, it will only be more embarrassing. Maybe my wife will be alarmed after a while.
When your wife comes, have you thought about the consequences? Are you really afraid that your wife will make you unable to come to the stage on the spot? "
Gu Zhen's heart trembled when she heard Gu Jiu mention the Xie family. Not caring about the embarrassment, she quickly wiped away her tears and stood up holding Qing Mei's hand.
"Thank you, Second Sister."
"Big sister, let's get out of here quickly."
Gu Jiu took Gu Zhen and quickly left the scene.
Throughout the whole process, Gu Zhen kept her head down, not daring to look at anyone.
She was afraid of seeing ridicule and ridicule in the eyes of others.
Woohoo... It's so embarrassing.
Gu Jiu took Gu Zhen to the guest room not far away.
As soon as they entered the door, Gu Zhen's maid, Lu Yi, quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"It's all the servant's fault, girl, you should punish the servant."
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, and said to Lv Yi: "Now is not the time to care about right and wrong, quickly take out the clean clothes and change them for your girl."
Lvyi looked at Gu Zhen.
Gu Zhen never recovered from the humiliating blow.
She only nodded to Lvyi, "Listen to the second girl."
Lvyi quickly stood up and went to the ox cart to get the burden.
There were tea stains all over Gu Zhen's dress. When I fell, there was a lot of dirt on my back.
Hair is also a bit messy.
Gu Jiu asked Qingmei to comb Gu Zhen's hair, and asked Qingzhu to bring a basin of clean water to wash Gu Zhen's face.
Gu Zhen cried hard, her makeup was gone, and she had to reapply it.
While cleaning, she said: "Thanks to the second sister today, otherwise I don't know what to do. Thank you, second sister."
"Big sister, don't be polite to me."
Then Gu Jiu asked curiously: "Big sister, why didn't the green clothes serve you before?"
"Lvyi's clothes were splashed with tea, which was unsightly, so I asked her to wash them. Unexpectedly, after the green clothes left for a while, insects would crawl on me. Me, I am most afraid of insects."
While talking, Gu Zhen couldn't help crying again. Probably reminded of the fear of being dominated by caterpillars.
Gu Jiu took out a handkerchief and wiped away Gu Zhen's tears.
"The green clothes are fine, how could tea be splashed on the dress?"
Gu Zhen was very dissatisfied, "It's not because the maid next to Fifth Sister is clumsy and can't even hold the teacup steadily."
as expected!
Sure enough, it was the maid named Cui Liu who was next to Fifth Sister.
Now, things all come together.
Cui Liu poured tea on Lvyi's body, obviously to send Lvyi away.
As soon as the green clothes left, Cui Liu secretly placed the caterpillar on Gu Zhen's body, making Gu Zhen make a fool of herself in public.
Cui Liu must know that Gu Zhen is most afraid of caterpillars, so she came up with this idea.
However, Cui Liu is obviously Aunt Bai's servant girl.
In other words, all that Cui Liu did was probably following Aunt Bai's orders.
But why did Aunt Bai do this
Did Gu Zhen offend Aunt Bai
Qingmei tugged on Gu Jiu's sleeve, pulled Gu Jiu to the side, and reminded softly, "Miss, have you forgotten, the last time the eldest girl and the fifth girl quarreled in Zhilan Courtyard?"
Gu Jiu suddenly realized.
She asked Qingmei in a low voice, "Does that mean Aunt Bai is venting her anger on Gu Lin?"
Qingmei nodded, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Bai only has five girls and one child, protecting fifth girls is like protecting eyeballs.
That day, the eldest girl said so much to the fifth girl, and the fifth girl ran out crying.
How could Aunt Bai be willing to be wronged by the fifth girl, she would definitely not let the eldest girl go.
It's just that Aunt Bai actually asked Cui Liu to do something at the banquet. "
What a aunt Bai.
What's pitiful, gentle and affectionate are all illusions. When he moved his hands, he was ruthless and precise, no less than Xie Shi.
Nothing can hurt Gu Zhen's self-esteem and pride more than making Gu Zhen make a fool of herself at the banquet.
At this time, Lvyi came back with a bundle and waited for Gu Zhen to change her clothes.
Gu Zhen changed her clothes and walked out from the room.
She looked at Gu Jiu anxiously, "Second Sister, can I do this?"
Gu Jiu smiled and nodded, "Very good."
"But... I dare not go out to meet people." Gu Zhen lowered her head and was about to cry again. "I want to go back."
Gu Jiu said: "But if my wife doesn't leave, we can't leave either. Big sister, don't worry too much. Everyone will forget about this kind of thing soon, and no one will laugh at you."
Gu Zhen shook her head, "No, everyone will remember that I made a fool of myself today. Second sister, I really, really dare not go out to meet people. Can you help me? Why don't I just stay here until the banquet is over Yes, send someone to call me."
Gu Zhen grabbed Gu Jiu's hand and looked at her eagerly.
Gu Jiu asked: "Second Sister, are you really not going out?"
Gu Zhen nodded, "I, I won't go out. It's not interesting anyway."
Gu Zhen was in a gloomy mood, and could no longer arouse the slightest interest in today's banquet. I just want to leave quickly.
Gu Jiu said: "Alright then, I'll leave someone here to watch over you."
Gu Zhen turned from worry to joy, "Thank you Second Sister. I have the green clothes to accompany me, so I don't need to arrange another person. I just need to send someone over to inform me when the banquet is over."
Gu Jiu said: "Big sister hasn't eaten yet, I'll get someone to bring you something to eat later."
"Second sister, thank you so much."
Gu Jiu brought a few servant girls back to the banquet.
She asked Jiang Yan to pack some food, and then sent it to her elder sister Gu Zhen.
Gu Lin came to Gu Jiu's side, "Second Sister, where is Eldest Sister? Isn't she with you?"
Gu Jiu said calmly, "Big sister is not feeling well, she is resting in the guest room."
After finishing speaking, Gu Jiu looked towards Cui Liu, the maid behind Gu Lin.
Cui Liu looked downcast and pleasing to the eye, looking extremely honest and reliable.
Gu Lin noticed Gu Jiu's gaze, "What is Second Sister looking at Cui Liu? Did Cui Liu upset Second Sister?"
"Nothing. I just want to say that I really envy Fifth Sister, who has such a capable maid by her side."
Gu Lin laughed, "Cui Liu is my aunt's maid. My aunt is worried about me, so she asked Cui Liu to serve me by my side today."
"I see." Gu Jiu agreed with a smile.
It seems that Gu Lin doesn't know anything.
Cui Liu was a little nervous, her palms were sweating.
Did the second girl see it
how could be
Cui Liu went through everything in her head to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, so no one should suspect her.
Cui Liu secretly looked at Gu Jiu, and accidentally met Gu Jiu's eyes that see through everything.
Cui Liu hurriedly lowered her head, feeling very guilty.
Did the second girl really see through everything
Gu Jiu said to Gu Lin: "My fifth sister has a capable maid like Cui Liu by her side, so I don't worry. But the maid is too capable, sometimes it's not very good. Cui Liu, am I right?"
Cui Liu dare not answer.
Gu Lin took Gu Jiu's arm, "Second Sister, don't worry about Cui Liu. She will just follow me today, and she will always be by my aunt's side to serve you."
At this time, Gu Yue, Gu Shan, and Xu Yuanniang were walking towards them.
Gu Jiu and Gu Lin stood by the pond.
Gu Jiu glanced at the pond and thought of a plan.
