"Come on, come on, come on, get the doctor." When Old Mrs. Gu finally reacted and called the doctor over, Old Mrs. Wang was already frightened to death.
The water in the teapot was not boiling hot, and the doctor only prescribed some medicine for application, saying that it would be fine after two or three days.
After Old Mrs. Wang recovered, she became unyielding. How dare a maid do this to her? Even if she was beaten to death, it would be an exaggeration.
Mrs. Gu also felt that she had been humiliated in front of her relatives. She gritted her teeth with hatred and shouted angrily, "Are you blind? This maid is crazy. Why don't you drag her down here?"
Xiuyue was standing behind Gu Mingmou. When she saw several women coming over aggressively, she didn't say anything or hide.
Gu Mingmou glanced at Old Mrs. Gu, then turned to look at Old Mrs. Wang, and said quietly, "Grandma's words are wrong. According to my granddaughter, instead of punishing Xiuyue, she should be praised generously."
"What do you mean? Did you instigate this maid?" Mrs. Wang was furious. If she hadn't been concerned about Gu Mingmou's identity, she would have taken action long ago.
"Tong girl, are you going crazy too?" Mrs. Gu raised her hand and threw the tea cup to the ground. The porcelain shards flew out, wiping the side of Gu Ming's face.
Gu Ming's eyes were clear and cold, and he glanced at Old Mrs. Gu, which made her feel a chill inexplicably.
"My granddaughter is very sober. The one who is not sober is afraid that Mrs. Wang will make arrogant comments about her fate and make slanderous remarks. If she doesn't care about my grandmother's face, my granddaughter will definitely have an explanation with her today."
"What are you talking about? I, I just said a few words casually." Old Mrs. Wang was not a very knowledgeable person, and she panicked when she heard what Gu Mingmou said was so scary.
"Talk about it casually? Do you ruin the reputation of Sipin Gaoming casually?"
"That's enough, such a small thing is worth mentioning. Girl Tong, you are getting more and more outrageous." Old Mrs. Gu started to accuse.
"Sister, you'd better say less and don't make grandma angry. Today is grandma's birthday after all." Gu Mingxin advised.
Gu Mingmu glanced at her coldly, looking at Old Mrs. Gu's angry expression and Old Mrs. Wang's evasive eyes, she curled her lips and said, "It's all Sun."
It's the woman's fault that she spoiled her grandmother's mood. The granddaughter will leave now and won't disturb her grandmother anymore. Xiuyue, let’s go. "
"Wait a minute, you can leave. This maid has made a big mistake and we won't let you go lightly."
Gu Mingmou paused and turned to look at Mrs. Wang, "Xiuyue just reminded Mrs. Wang when she saw that she was too complacent. What did Mrs. Wang think?"
Mrs. Wang met those amber eyes, suddenly trembled, her eyes were a little unfocused, and she followed Gu Mingmou's words, "That's right, that's right."
Old Mrs. Gu didn't want to spare Xiuyue lightly. Such an unruly maid deserved to be beaten to death, but Old Mrs. Wang kept saying that the maid was right, and the way she kept herself down and acted like a child made her heart ache. The diaphragm responded, so it didn't happen on the spot, and I planned to find an opportunity to have another attack in the future.
After this farce, no one dared to inquire about Mr. Xue anymore. Fortunately, Mrs. Gu's house was filled with relatives and her face was not lost outside.
In the eyes of these relatives of the Gu family, the eldest girl of the Gu family is not easy to get along with. Although it was the little maid next to her who touched her hands before, who knows that it was with her instruction, and she dared to pour hot water on someone's face? He is really cruel.
It was a pity that Gu Mingmou had made an engagement early, and her fiancé was the prince of the Hou family, which disappointed those who wanted to see her lively. Otherwise, no one would dare to marry the eldest girl of the Gu family if the news about today were spread.
Afterwards, Gu Mingmou knew that she had been impulsive. She just heard others slander her mother and even said that her mother's background was unclear. However, her good grandmother still agreed with her face. She couldn't suppress her anger at all.
But in the end, Mrs. Wang's reaction was a bit strange. Even if she was frightened by her previous words, she didn't act like she was flattering. Her behavior was more like she was possessed. When he thought of this, Gu Mingmou's heart couldn't help but move.
"Girl, I'm afraid the old lady won't let go of what happened today." Xiuyue followed Gu Mingmou without much panic in her brows.
Gu Mingmou sneered, "Don't worry, after today grandma won't have the time to pay attention to such a trivial matter."
Although she didn't know what her girl meant by her words, Xiuyue still knew enough not to ask anymore.
"Girl, do you want to go back
"
"If you don't go back now, you've finally let me go. You have to give me some time to find something. Go to your mother's place." Since he saw Xiuye's true face, Gu Mingmou also squandered his remaining feelings for her. Empty.
Since she wants to die, then as the master, I will give her a ride.
The entire Gu family was busy celebrating Mrs. Gu's birthday, but Xue's main courtyard remained as deserted as ever.
Today is destined to be very lively, and it is natural to share such an anticipated moment with my mother.
Because of his mother's birthday, Gu Yong specially took a day off to have a drink with his colleagues, relatives and friends who came to visit.
The stage in the backyard has been set up, and Old Mrs. Gu and several old sisters are listening to the play together. Aunt Ning is standing behind Old Mrs. Gu to wait on her, while Aunt Liu is sitting aside, surrounded by several maids, looking at this posture in confusion. I thought she was the mistress of the Gu family.
Reaching out to catch the grape seeds spat out by the old lady, Aunt Ning turned her head and glanced at Aunt Liu not far away and her swollen belly, with a trace of cruelty flashing in her eyes.
"Far away, with no return date, Cai Lang is a slave; there is chaos, no harvest, and famine in Chenliu; I am sick and difficult to support, and my parents-in-law are weak..." The babbling lyrics made Mrs. Gu feel the same way, and she wiped it with a brocade handkerchief. Tears in the corners of the eyes.
Regardless of what they heard, everyone else had similar reactions. At this moment, the maid next to Aunt Liu suddenly screamed, "Ah, Auntie, you are bleeding!"
Aunt Liu didn't react at first. She lowered her head subconsciously when she heard the maid's cry. She saw the light pink phoenix skirt soaked in dark red blood, but she didn't feel anything at all.
"Why, how is it possible..." Aunt Liu was frightened and angry for a moment. Just as she was about to stand up, she felt a cramp in her abdomen, and then she fainted and no longer knew what was going on.
"Go and call the doctor quickly. Get some women to carry Aunt Liu back. Be careful not to bump into her." Aunt Ning was the first to react and the first to make arrangements.
Old Mrs. Gu looked at Aunt Liu who was still bleeding all over the floor after being carried away, and then looked at Aunt Ning. She saw that there was no surprise on her face, but she kept frowning, as if she was surprised.
Could it be that it wasn't Aunt Ning who did it
