Here, Xiao Ting is unfamiliar with the place, what kind of trouble can she cause
Even so, with the power of their Jiangnan Palace, is it still unfair
Immediately, he told the servants who were following them.
But he forgot, is the sixth girl of the Xiao family so easy to be caught
So, an hour later, the fifth son received the news that their girl and the ninth concubine were missing.
While he was terrified, he felt relieved after seeing his sister's letter.
'I will come back when this girl has had enough fun, there is no need to send someone to look for her. '
Such arrogant words were naturally thought up by Xiao Ting, and the handwriting on them was indeed her sister's.
The fifth son also felt nothing, so he went to find his brother and asked if the identity of the owner of the ship had been found out.
It's just that before the footsteps arrived, I heard the voice of someone talking in the courtyard.
"You should stay at Concubine Liang's place tonight."
"Chen Qie, Chen Qie is feeling unwell." This was Liu Yanran's voice.
"You..." Chu Tiankuo was a little angry, but he calmed down and suppressed it, forbearance: "What exactly do you want?"
"The prince's question is strange. The concubine is just doing what a prince's concubine should do. Please enjoy the rain and the dew."
bump!
I don't know what it was, but it was smashed to the ground.
"Yanran, how long are you going to make trouble? You raised these two concubines back then, and now you are unhappy, so do you think I, I am happy?"
Silence, dead silence...
After a long time, Liu Yanran suddenly laughed softly, "I don't blame anyone, I only blame my poor fortune and not being able to leave blood for the son. You go!"
If it was said that there was still some quarrelsome intention just now, now Liu Yanran's voice is surprisingly calm, as if she was just talking about a very normal thing.
"Don't you think I have nowhere to go except here?"
Chu Tiankuo's voice suddenly rose.
"How could it be, Prince Jiangnan, you have such a great name, this Nuoda palace will be yours from now on, how could there be no place for you to go? So please do what you want, sir."
Chu Tiankuo stood in the courtyard for a long time before he left. The fifth young master never showed up.
At night in the south of the Yangtze River, with a poetic and picturesque feeling, there are many painted boats sailing on the river, with red candles flickering, dazzling.
In water towns, mansions that rely on water are all rich or powerful.
At this moment, Xiao Ting was standing under a tall gatehouse with Concubine Chu Tian.
"Wow, this place is really majestic. The sky is so high that the emperor is far away, and no one cares."
Looking at the tall gatehouse, Xiao Ting felt that it was much more magnificent than the Nine Princes' Mansion.
"Auntie, what are we doing here? Let's go back quickly. If others see it, they will misunderstand."
Concubine Chu Tian was born in the south of the Yangtze River and grew up here, so she naturally knew that this was the house of the Gu family.
Xiao Ting shook off her hand and muttered, "What's the misunderstanding? We're just visiting his house, so what's the point of misunderstanding? Besides, the Gu family, your future husband's family, what's there to be shy about?"
"Let's go, I'll take you in and have a look at that young master of the Gu family."
That's right, Xiao Ting is here to meddle in other people's business.
Concubine Chu Tian didn't want to marry at all, but according to what the fifth son said, it was a certainty, so she thought it would be better for the two parties to meet.
What if, this young master of the Gu family really doesn't want to eat
"Ada."
A Da, who had been following behind Xiao Ting like an invisible person, showed up, very helpless.
"Have you found the place you were looking for? Where should we enter?"
Ah Da replied resignedly.
Leading them around east and west, they came to a wall, "Princess, let's go in from here."
Xiao Ting gave him an appreciative look, then patted Concubine Chu Tian on the shoulder and said, "Can you go up this wall?"
Concubine Chu Tian shook her head like a drum, and she couldn't even kill her.
Xiao Ting then threatened her, "Didn't you say that Young Master Gu is a good man? Let's go see him now, if he agrees to call off this marriage, you don't have to marry him."
Seeing that Concubine Chu Tian was still hesitating, Xiao Qing shrugged, leaned against the wall indifferently, and continued.
"As for me, I don't like to be meddlesome. This is your only chance. If you miss this village, you won't have this store. Think about it yourself."
Xiao Ting didn't wait long, and Concubine Chu Tian decided to go in with her.
With Ah Da leading the way, the group of three arrived outside the courtyard of the eldest son of the Gu family quietly.
But they were greeted by a brightly lit courtyard. Xiao Ting thought she had been discovered at first, but Ah Da immediately pulled them up and hid them.
The entire courtyard was guarded, and the outside was fenced off. From the lanterns in the courtyard, one could see the curtains of the main house rising and falling, and people came out with copper basins from time to time.
Back and forth, there is still the sound of sobbing.
Concubine Chu Tian was too frightened to breathe out.
But Xiao Ting never knew what to be afraid of, back then she dared to break into Prince Rui's residence when she was drunk, not to mention she is still sober now.
She gestured to Ah Da with her eyes, and Ah Da shook his head. Obviously, when he came in to step on the spot, it was quiet here.
"Auntie, why don't we go back first!"
Xiao Ting bit her lip and was about to get up.
Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering howling sound from the back room.
"Feng'er..."
Xiao Ting was also frightened, she rubbed her ears and said, "Who is this woman, her vital capacity is too high?"
This cry can make nearby wolves howl.
Concubine Chu Tian didn't know her either, but she knew who Feng'er was calling, "Master Gu, something may have happened."
People were coming and going in the yard in a mess, and hurried footsteps were rushing this way.
The one at the head was an old lady, her hair was combed meticulously, her face was serious, but her steps were obviously a little messed up, she was supported by someone, and hurried inside.
Behind him followed a well-dressed and well-dressed woman and girl.
It's the rhythm of the whole family.
"Auntie, let's go first!"
It was easier to leave while in the chaos, and Ah Da also wanted to raise his hands and feet to agree, but when he saw the little stars popping out of his princess's eyes, he knew he had been tricked again.
"Ada, you take the concubine back first, I'll go and see it will be lively."
Look, watch the fun
Concubine Chu Tian almost bit her tongue. With such a mess, she still wants to watch the excitement
I can't help but say that Ah Da also imitated the appearance of his concubine, but he dragged Concubine Chu Tian away without thinking.
When I come back, I will protect the princess.
After they left, Xiao Ting became even more excited.
She quietly jumped out, grabbed a servant girl's body, covered her mouth, and after a while, she transformed into an unremarkable servant girl.
He quickly entered the yard with his head down, received a basin of clear water and entered the main house.
What came to her nostrils was a sweltering heat, accompanied by a fishy smell and a stench of appropriate intensity, which made her frown.
Behind a paper screen, it was already overcrowded, the servant girl stood all over the room, coupled with the sobbing, Xiao Ting choked and rolled her eyes.
Normal people would be suffocated to death by them, let alone patients.
Finally, she was greeted and squeezed to the front, put down the basin, and occasionally looked up and saw the person lying on the bed.
This look really shocked her.
Lying on the edge of the bed was a young man with sunken eye sockets, pale skin, and his exposed neck was so thin that only a piece of skin remained.
His breathing was very heavy, and each gasp took a long time, and the voice in his throat was heavy and hoarse, like a bellows.
But his expression was very calm, without a trace of pain.
"Doctor, what's the matter?"
The old man who took the pulse shook his head and stood up, saying: "I have given the young master an injection to keep him awake for half an hour, please forgive me for the rest, there is nothing I can do."
As soon as these words came out, half of the room knelt down in an instant, and there was chaos.
The cries became louder, and the old lady's legs softened, and she was helped up.
"You all go down!"
In the room, no matter if it was true or false, all retreated out, leaving only two women and the Patriarch of the Gu family in a wheelchair.
"Cough, cough, cough..." A series of coughs escaped from the mouth of Gu Changfeng, the eldest son of the Gu family.
The old lady sat on the edge of the bed, following his back, her heart and eyes filled with distress.
The others stood aside, one of the women had a pair of peach blossom eyes, and the eyes fell down in pairs, but she didn't dare to make a sound, she just wiped them away with a brocade handkerchief.
Gu Changfeng slowly opened his eyes, "Grandson is unfilial, so, grandma is worried."
"You child, what did you say, ah, it's okay, you take a good rest, and you'll get better soon." The old lady patted the back of his hand comfortingly.
Gu Changfeng didn't answer, but looked at the others, "Father, mother, sister, I made you worry."
"Hey..." Patriarch Gu patted his already unconscious leg and turned his face away.
"Feng'er, we're fine, it's just your marriage to Miss Chu..."
Gu Changfeng raised his palm and smiled softly, "Look at me now, can I still harm other girls?"
"Brother, my uncle has already made an appointment with the Jiangnan Prince's Mansion. We will let you get married when your health improves." Younger sister Gu Changyue said this with red eyes.
"Nonsense..." Gu Changfeng was already calm, but when he heard this, he was furious and gasped for breath.
"Feng'er..."
"elder brother… "
Several people were so anxious, Gu Changfeng managed to calm down, and scolded: "I said earlier that I would not marry a girl from the Chu family, grandma, father, mother, how could you do this?"
"I can't hurt other girls!"
Mrs. Gu, who hadn't spoken all this time, suddenly threw herself on the side of the bed, tightly grasping Gu Changfeng's hand, she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, her lips were trembling, "But they can let you go, my son..."
"Mother, there is life and death."
Gu Changfeng looked very indifferent, his face was full of sickness, but his integrity was still intact.
"No." Mrs. Gu held that thin hand in her arms, and said nothing, "As long as you marry a girl from the Jiangnan Palace, they will let you go."
"Mother, if they want to force me to commit a crime, they won't kill me." Gu Changfeng pointed.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Madam Gu did not dare to speak out.
"Father, I've made it difficult for you. This matter must be stopped. Even if the son dies, their conspiracy will not be punished."
