In Sun's eyes, her daughter is already an outsider, but no matter how bad Gu Qingci is, she is her own granddaughter-in-law. Looking at her today, she seems to be quite sensible. She can't call her eldest daughter too much.
So he squinted his eyes and said, "I don't think it's a big deal, let's listen to what Ci'er has to say, if it's good, just listen to Xiumei's own words."
Gu Qingci was also very excited. As soon as Sun's words fell, she suddenly realized something, as if thinking of something, her face was surprised, and then said: "I said, just now my aunt said 'I' I didn’t remember any of the things I did, I only had a closer look at Cousin Xiumei, and I got a little impression, didn’t you mean the day when I went shopping in Qiufangzhai?”
Xiumei rushed to answer almost immediately: "It wasn't that day, look, you admitted it yourself!"
Gu Qingci looked at Xiumei like an old idiot, and said in surprise: "I didn't know Cousin Xiumei before, but suddenly I saw one rushing over and blocking the car, so why don't you send them away quickly and let people get in the car? "His tone couldn't be more normal, as if this trivial matter is not worth mentioning at all, and even the explanation is because someone else asked first, so she said such a sentence.
Gu Qingci's calm and unflappable attitude contrasted with the ugly behavior of the aunt who flung her teeth and danced her claws up and down, which was very ugly.
Whoever provokes is innocent, you can tell at a glance.
The direction of development of this matter is not at all expected by the aunt and Xiumei. According to their previous guesses, Gu Qingci will have to eat the first meal anyway. She is a bride and has no one to support her. The more she defends, the more she explains. , the more people feel that she is so talkative.
Furthermore, if my daughter was wronged, she must make up for it and apologize.
It's all beautiful.
It's just that the reality didn't follow the route they set.
Sun's attitude is here, not to mention that Gu Qingci just explained a few words without pain or itching, if she didn't explain, the matter would not cause much trouble.
Gu Qingci's mind froze, and he suddenly figured out what Li Chengze said last night.
Seeing that Mrs. Sun only needs to help her a little bit, she will save a lot of tongues to make those fearless proofs to understand.
Gu Qingci thought of a thread, and this matter was like peeling cocoons, pulling out a thread to bring out a thread, and there were more and more things in his mind.
Some things that I never realized before, all popped up today.
That's right, Gu Qingci thought, in the inner house, it's not that the courts and yamen insist on being innocent in everything, and let you argue one by one.
The person who can speak and decide the case in the court is the biggest official there, and the person who can speak and preside in the family or inside is the master and wife.
Take the Li family as an example, Li Chengze and Gu Qingci in the west courtyard can say the same thing, and the most important person in the east courtyard is the old lady Sun.
Things like this one don't need any proof at all, it just depends on who the old lady is interested in.
If she turned to Gu Qingci, Gu Qingci would have really insulted Xiumei that day. As long as Sun is partial and doesn't want to pursue it, it's no use talking about it like a monkey.
Conversely, if Mrs. Sun is not going to say a word for Gu Qingci at all, according to the situation just now, she will have to explain and clarify. However, the more she speaks, the easier it is to make mistakes, and she may inevitably suffer some losses in the end.
"It turns out to be such a truth. I'm so stupid that I haven't figured it out for so many years." Gu Qingci said to himself in his heart.
Now that it's all right, Gu Qingci didn't want to spend too much time with the eldest aunt, so she spoke softly to Mrs. Sun and went back to the west courtyard.
Li Chengze came back early today. He originally thought that because of what happened yesterday, Gu Qingci might be in a bad mood and lose his temper. After all, when he went out for a few days, the girl still had a listless expression.
Who knows that when she came back, she heard Yu Zhu say that Gu Qingci had gone there.
"The old lady said that there is a visitor at home, so she asked grandma to meet her."
Li Cheng asked, "Who's here?"
"Auntie and two cousin girls." Yuzhu replied.
Li Cheng nodded, indicating that he knew.
Just about to go to have a look by himself, Gu Qingci came back with jade bracelets.
When Gu Qingci saw Li Chengze, his eyes lit up, and then quickly ran towards him, hugged him, and wrapped his arms around his neck.
Li Cheng might as well let Gu Qingci take a small step back from the impact, and reflexively hugged Gu Qingci's waist, controlling and stabilizing so that no one would fall.
While saying it again, he beat the person horizontally and strode into the house. The faces of the servants who didn't look all over the yard were buried in the ground, and they all wished they could pretend to be wallflowers.
Gu Qingci's eyes sparkled, a little excited.
After entering the room, Li Cheng put Gu Qingci on the table and sat down.
There are many things in Gu Qingci's mind, and she didn't have time to clear them up, but she was eager to talk to Li Chengze, and said in a mess: "... I used to never understand why I quarreled with Fifth Sister, sometimes it was her fault , I was the one who was wronged. Why was it me who was reprimanded and punished by my father in the end? I always blamed my fifth sister for pretending to be scheming. Father likes Fifth Sister and doesn’t like me, so he only pampers her, so what if it’s Fifth Sister’s fault, as long as she is liked by Father, her fault is not wrong. Because with Father, the important thing is not the truth of the matter, right or wrong , the important thing is which one he loves more.
Those servants in the courtyard of the second room of the Gu family are not stupid. Even though the inner courtyard is my mother's housekeeper, those people still flatter and curry favor with Aunt Zhou and Fifth Sister in private, isn't it because they understand my father's attitude. " Gu Qingci said, her voice gradually lowered.
Anyone who knows that his father doesn't care about him will feel uncomfortable.
At the beginning, Li Chengze was surprised by her nonsense at the beginning, and only after listening did she realize what she was talking about.
Sighing, he stroked her back again.
Li Cheng was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he deliberately asked: "Why did you suddenly think of this? Didn't you go to grandma's place?" The implication was, why did he suddenly think of Gu's affairs when seeing a guest come back.
Gu Qingci said: "It's not that my aunt wanted to trouble me for some reason. I didn't know why. My grandmother helped me deal with it and didn't tell me to be bullied. I just thought of it..." Then he scolded my aunt fiercely. She told Li Chengze about her in detail.
Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, still looking at Gu Qingci, "That's it?"
Gu Qingci hung his hands around his neck, and leaned forward to bury his face in his chest.
After a while, a somewhat embarrassing voice came: "Xiang, Xianggong said it himself yesterday. After thinking about it a few times, I finally understood."
Li Cheng really laughed, "Understood?"
Gu Qingci's eyeballs floated back and forth, and finally landed on his Adam's apple, he drooped his eyelids and dared not look at people directly.
The voice was soft and soft, "Some understand, some don't." And she didn't have the nerve to say a word, thinking that the husband who I don't understand must understand, so what are you afraid of.
Li Cheng felt a sense of old comfort, that this girl was finally sensible.
Unlike at the beginning, he was a completely disobedient little idiot.
