"You said that the stone beside the master went to my uncle's house? Did you hear me wrong?" The second wife frowned and asked.
"My wife clearly saw that the younger one was serving tea in the study at that time. She heard the truth and dared not tell lies."
The second wife and the second master have no relationship for a long time. The second wife is not a pure person who is really confused, so the second master also has her people by his side.
For the two children, some things have to be guarded against.
When receiving the news, the second wife was really stunned for a moment, thinking she heard it wrong.
The second master asked people to go to Li's house, what are they going to do? Why didn't he know himself
A few questions popped up in her mind one after another, which made the second wife tense up, and immediately asked the boy.
The man answered again: "Back then, the second master asked Shitou to go to Li's house and asked Miss Six to come back, saying that he had something to ask."
"What can he ask Ci'er!" The second wife slammed the teacup on the table heavily, her voice a bit shrill.
The second master has never cared about Gu Qingci, let alone loved her.
This was for no reason, maybe it was a sudden outbreak of a loving father who hadn't been in decades, and asked his daughter to come back and ask her how she was doing in Li's house.
She wouldn't believe it even if she killed the second wife.
What the second wife has been unable to let go of for so many years is that she is the wife of the main house, and the children she gave birth to are the sons and daughters of the first wife, but the eyes of the second master seem to have never had these two children. How can this not be hated!
So the second wife tried her best to be more kind to the two children, but she knew that the two children still had resentment in their hearts.
The second wife will always remember that when her daughter was eight years old, once, her husband assigned homework to her girls. The daughter was praised by the husband for doing a good job, so she was very happy and wanted to show her homework to her father, but she didn't come after waiting for a whole day. The second master, until the evening when the girl handed over the news that the second master had gone to Aunt Zhou's yard.
Gu Qingci cried all night, for the sake of her daughter, the second wife invited the second master three times and four times and then invited the second master over. There is not even a word of encouragement or praise for the word "fairly acceptable".
It was also from then on that Gu Qingci gradually stopped talking about her father.
The second wife knew that her daughter was raised to be arrogant and indulgent, but she couldn't help it. She couldn't bear to be harsh and restrain her daughter. She was not loved by her father. If she was serious and harsh, the child's life would be very difficult.
People in the second wife's courtyard, who doesn't know that the second wife has long since lost the second master in her eyes, closed the door, and never looked like a husband and wife.
It's fine when things are peaceful, but once the second master does something that threatens Gu Xuan and Gu Qingci, the second wife will definitely explode.
Seeing that the second wife got angry, the boy knelt down in fright, and said: "Yesterday afternoon, the fifth girl went to find the second master, and the two talked for a long time in the study."
"So that's how it is!" The second wife sneered, "It's very good, it really is the moth that the mother and daughter made fun of again. The fifth girl has become more and more educated. Such a big person has no face and no skin to sneak into the outer courtyard. Sure enough, what kind of person raises what kind of seed, a lowly thing in his bones."
No one in the room dared to speak.
The second wife vented her anger, and then summoned two maidservants, saying: "You two go to the south door to guard, if you see the girl coming, immediately stop her and ask the girl to come see me first."
The two nodded quickly and answered yes, they went by themselves.
"Ma'am, don't be so angry and hurt yourself carefully." Zhou's mother comforted her with a gentle voice.
The second wife waved her hand, and the maids all retreated one after another.
When there were only two people left in the room, the second wife said: "I hate the master. I only think about the three mothers and daughters in the yard. Whenever there is something wrong, I think of my son. Even if the tiger poison does not eat its children, he It's because I have lost even a little bit of compassion, just look at it, it must not be a good thing to pick up Ci'er back today for no reason!"
An hour later, Gu Qingci was picked up, and the second wife asked the person guarding the side door to appear immediately, and invited Gu Qingci away.
The stone was anxious on the surface, but he didn't dare to stop them, because the two were from the wife's yard, so they couldn't stop them, so they could only stamp their feet, and hurried to inform the master.
Gu Qingci entered the yard, saluted the second wife, and said, "What's the hurry, mother? Why did you want to see me suddenly, and no one sent a message before."
The second wife scolded the second master again in her heart, then pulled Gu Qingci to sit down and explained the reason.
After Gu Qingci heard this, she suddenly realized, "I said, mother wants to see me, so she asked Shitou to go."
"But what can my father tell me to do?" Gu Qingci thought for a while, but couldn't guess the reason at all.
The second wife said: "I'm afraid it won't be a good thing, that's why I called you here, so that you won't be lied to by him without knowing anything. What did Gu Qingwan pester your father yesterday afternoon? I guess it has something to do with it. You Be alert when you pass."
"My daughter can save it."
The second wife gave some good instructions, and then let Zhou's mother send Gu Qingci to see the second master.
In the study room, Gu Qingci greeted people first.
The second master sat on the chair, his face was so good, he glanced at Gu Qingci lightly, his eyebrows drooping.
After a while, he said: "This married person is no one in his eyes, and I was so evasive when I asked you to come here. It really is my wife who taught Mo Hao's daughter, hmph!"
"Father, what are you talking about? I can't shirk it."
The second master scolded immediately, "How dare you talk back!"
Gu Qingci has no admiration for the second master now.
The second master is just the father of Gu Qingwan and Gu Yan, and with himself and his elder brother, he can bear the false title of father for nothing.
It's okay for this person to be so cold and inhuman, but he still has the face to accuse his mother of her faults.
Gu Qingci suddenly lost her face, and said coldly: "Father is an elder, but he never likes his daughter. If you want to beat and scold her, the daughter will have to suffer. But if the mother did something wrong, she will give birth to you." You have been raising children and doing housework for decades. Even if you are not favored, you should respect it instead of slandering and reprimanding me. It turned out that my father came to me today to scold me and my mother. Forgive my daughter for being unfilial. Now I felt uncomfortable and thought I was sick, so I retired first."
Who can run on someone, Gu Qingci turned around and walked away after finishing speaking.
The second master's face was gloomy, with an angry look on his face, and he scolded, "Stop! You unruly thing, who are you talking to?"
Gu Qingci twitched the corners of his mouth, paused, and wrote lightly, "Father, do you have anything else to say?"
The second master really wanted to beat this rebellious and stubborn daughter to death, his chest was heaving with anger.
Gu Qingci was unmoved, this person has never regarded their mother and son as relatives, she has long since used a hot face to stick a cold butt.
Seeing Gu Qingci's reluctance to get in, the second master could only suppress his anger for a while, and revealed his purpose.
"I heard that you recently played Cuju with Princess Kongtai'an and the others. Yuhe Wangfu is not an ordinary family. You have always been reckless and easy to offend people. In this way, you take your fifth sister there together. She is gentle and gentle, and she has no words in poetry or writing." No, with her on your side to deal with you, you will be less likely to cause trouble, but you must know that the Li family's family can't protect you."
Gu Qingci laughed angrily when she heard that, she didn't know that someone could be so shameless!
After a while, he sneered with cold eyebrows: "That's right, as my father said, the fifth sister is so talented, so my father should organize more poetry and literature meetings for her, and lead a group of people to praise her." Look at her and praise her. Cuju is a low-class thing, it doesn't have to insult and defile the noble fifth girl of the Gu family, only a reckless and shapeless person like me can play.
If I get into trouble, my mother, mother, and husband-in-law are here, and I can't bother the fifth girl, my father thinks, where does she have the face to deal with me? Could it be because of her status as a concubine? Or could she beg my father to help my daughter with her weakness and meekness? Hahaha, father loves your fifth girl so much, why don't you go to the Yuhe Palace in person and let Princess Tai'an play with your darling daughter. "
The anger in Gu Qingci's heart has already burned to the chest, and it hurts like a needle prick.
Since the second master reprimanded her for being an unruly and unscrupulous bastard from the very beginning, what is she pretending to do!
The second master almost jumped up, and immediately raised his hand and dropped a cup.
There was a crisp "bang", accompanied by his angry roar: "Presumptuous! You unfilial thing! Kneel down!"
Gu Qingci didn't pay any attention, and left without looking back.
He didn't stay in Gu's residence for long, went to say goodbye to the second wife and left without eating lunch.
When the second wife asked those words from the maid's mouth, her heart felt cold, and it took a long while before she gradually calmed down.
She closed her eyes, held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and said slowly: "I have worried too much these years. As long as it doesn't hurt Ci'er and Yan'er, I will bear it one by one, but I didn't think about it. The last thing is to make progress... "
Mother Zhou's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, and she repeatedly comforted her, "Madam, don't worry, think about brother and girl, brother isn't married yet."
The second wife closed her eyes again, and said slowly, "It's because of them that I can no longer be so kind."
—
Gu Qingci returned home full of anger, locked herself in the room and refused to see anyone, and refused to eat.
Nanny Zhang wondered, Grandma didn't come home with a smile on her face when she returned to her mother's house.
So he pulled Yuzhu and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter, is it the wife training the girl?"
Yuzhu slightly frowned and shook her head.
Nanny Zhang was anxious, "No? What's the matter? Why are you dumb?"
It was really hard for Yuzhu to say those words, and finally she only said vaguely: "It's the second master."
Nanny Zhang understood.
What good things can the second master say to Gu Qingci? For so many years, the master either reprimands or scolds the girl when he sees the girl, which is worse than strangers.
Nanny Zhang felt sorry for their grandma just thinking about it. Which family's master would treat his own daughter like this, like an enemy, without saving any face.
"Forget it, let grandma be quiet for a while. I'm afraid I'm feeling uncomfortable right now. It's not good for us to stick around in the past." Nanny Zhang sighed and said, "It would be great if the uncle was here, but it's a pity that the uncle is here." The vacation is short, stay for a day or two and then leave."
Li Cheng coaxed Gu Qingci to be sure, all the waiters in the yard had eyes, no one could see it.
In the room, Gu Qingci got angry and threw the second master away.
Before she knew it, she also wanted Li Chengze to come. When the previous man came back, she still had a lot to say to him, so she turned around and he left again.
She also thought about where Fengtai Academy was, and she had never been there before, so why not let her brother take her there to play when she is free
