Xiuyue lowered her head and admitted her mistake without any argument, "I was wrong, I asked you to forgive me."
"I said, this is a small matter, let's forget it this time." After saying that, she turned to look at Xiuye, "You have to be more disciplined in the future. It's okay in the mansion. If you follow me to the Hou Mansion in the future, Isn’t it a joke?”
As soon as she heard this topic, Xiuye's eyes suddenly lit up, and her excitement could hardly be concealed. She nodded quickly, "I understand, I will never argue with Sister Xiuyue again in the future."
"Well, as long as you are sensible, everyone can go down."
The two stood up and were about to go out, when they suddenly heard Gu Mingmou say, "By the way, didn't you say you made a rope? Bring the rope. I almost forgot about this jade pendant that I kept in my purse."
Xiuye was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly and said, "I haven't finished braiding the rope yet. I'll give it to the girl tomorrow."
Gu Mingyue didn't seem to care, nodded and said: "You are so skillful, remember to make up something new."
"Yes." Seeing that Gu Mingmou was not suspicious at all, the little uneasiness in her heart subsided.
After people went out, Gu Mingmou picked up the piece of black jade placed on the table, and gradually tightened his palms, and he felt no pain even when his nails dug into the flesh.
She remembered that this piece of jade was given to Qi Lang by her on the day she got hairpins. Why was Xiuye interested in this piece of jade
She saw Xiuye's reaction clearly, so she felt strange. Gu Mingyue spent so much effort to bribe her maid, but in the end he wanted to steal her things secretly? Mother said that this thing was passed down from the Xue family's ancestors and was not very valuable. She just kept it with her as a souvenir. Why would the second sister be interested in this thing
Or is there something she knows that she doesn't know
Gu Mingmu stared at the jade pendant and fell into deep thought. He looked over and over for a long time but still couldn't get an answer.
Early the next morning, Xiuye delivered a newly braided rope. The knot was cleverly woven into the shape of a five-petal peach blossom. She threaded the rope into the jade pendant, but hesitated but did not wear it around her neck.
Holding the knot in one hand, the dark jade pendant was dangling in front of his eyes. The point in the middle
The blush became more vivid. Maybe we should give the second sister a chance and take this opportunity to solve the doubts in her heart
But after all, this thing has been worn for many years, and Xiuye's little tricks before were discovered again. To give them a chance, they must find a better excuse, otherwise her second sister's shrewdness, there is no telling what she would think of.
Putting the jade pendant back into his purse, Gu Mingmou secretly considered it in his heart.
As Mrs. Gu's birthday approaches, the house gradually becomes lively. Because she would be able to hold her grandson soon, the old lady was in a good mood and expressed that she wanted to take care of the grandson. Of course, Gu Yong, who had always been filial, would not go against the old lady's wishes.
Aunt Ning is still in charge of the house, so she naturally organizes the old lady's birthday party. She is busy inside and outside. The maids in each courtyard have also cut new clothes and dressed up brightly.
Nowadays, Aunt Ning's reputation in the house is getting higher and higher, especially this time, she has won many hearts. Gu Mingmou even heard the little maid in her yard mention Aunt Ning's generosity several times.
Compared to her mother, she is indeed much more generous and better at winning people's hearts. After hearing such words too many times, she would inevitably feel bored. It happened that Qi Yu invited her to be a guest in his house, and Gu Mingmou simply agreed.
Qi Yu's father is Qi Lang's second uncle. Although he is only the concubine of the old marquis, he has outstanding literary talent and now works in Dali Temple. After the death of the old Marquis, the two families had already separated. However, the relationship between the two brothers was not bad. In addition, there was only Mrs. Hou in Yongning Marquis's back house, and the huge Marquis' mansion was not full. So they simply separated their families. Branch office.
If it weren't for the recent atmosphere in the Gu family that made her feel uncomfortable, Gu Mingmou would never want to come to Yongninghou Mansion.
This mansion bore her death, but I wonder what happened to the other people in this mansion after Qi Lang died in her previous life
Sitting on the carriage and looking at the vermilion door, Gu Mingmou felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. She had gone in and out of this door many times, but in the end she was carried into the Marquis' Mansion through the corner door. How ridiculous.
"Mingmou, what are you thinking about? Why don't you come down yet?" Qi Yu had been waiting for her at the door early. Seeing her in a daze, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
Gu Mingmou stopped looking and joked to her, "How come the eldest lady of our Qi family has time to think of me? Is it possible?"
Will I be more popular than the soft and glutinous sweet cake from Fuxianglou? "
Qi Yu's eyes were full of smiles, "Where can sweet cakes be as attractive as bright eyes?"
"Oh, in that case, I'll take this pastry back." After saying that, he waved the paper bag in front of Qi Yu's eyes, then turned around to put it back in the carriage.
"Hey, no, no." After saying that, he snatched the bag of pastries, and the two of them entered the Hou Mansion together laughing.
Although Gu Mingmou was a guest invited by Qi Yu, she still had to say hello to Mrs. Hou when she entered the Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Hou Lin got the news and even sent a maid to pick her up outside the courtyard. Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the main courtyard, the smile on her face became weaker and weaker.
Qi Yu seemed to be aware of it, turned to look at her strangely, and asked worriedly, "Mingmou, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Why do you look so ugly?"
Gu Mingmou paused, smiled, and shook his head, "It's nothing. I just haven't seen Aunt Lin for a long time and miss her a little. I don't know how Aunt Lin is doing?"
Seeing that Gu Mingmou didn't want to say anything, Qi Yu didn't ask further questions and just followed her words and continued, "Auntie's health has been much better recently. My cousin brought a miracle doctor back to my house a few days ago to nurse my aunt back to health. "
"Oh? Brother Qi is back already?"
"Yes, my eldest brother happened to be taking a break today. What a coincidence. I don't know if I will be able to see my eldest brother soon." Qi Yu deliberately teased.
Gu Mingmou forced a smile and did not answer. She had not paid attention to Yongning Houfu these days, and she only learned that Qi Lang had returned from outside.
I'm afraid that Qi Yu's intention of inviting him over today was Qi Lang's intention. He had used this excuse in the past.
Sure enough, as soon as I walked in, I heard that familiar voice. Gu Mingmou stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then followed Qi Yu into the main hall.
Mrs. Lin, the Marquis of Yongning, is sitting on the main seat. Although she is over thirty, she is in excellent condition. Years of illness have made her face slightly pale, which only makes her more pitiful.
She and her mother were close friends, and they both had the same bad luck, but she was undoubtedly much luckier than her mother. At least she met a man who truly loved her.
