The three of them were talking, when they saw Mrs. Lin coming out of the hall with her face downcast, she didn't look at them directly, she just called a maid and asked her to bring Gu Xuan, and then hurried out.
Shu Huan watched her go out, and wondered: "She seems to have cried, could it be that she was scolded by the prince just now?"
"Probably." Gu Xiran sighed with his hands behind his back.
Ji Danqing knew a lot about the affairs of the Gu family, but he was a doctor, and he had heard of similar things to some extent when he went to see a doctor in other families, and he had already been indifferent, not to mention that these things had nothing to do with him, so he confessed She cupped her hands and said, "I'll go to the Luoxia Courtyard first to see how Grandma is doing."
Not long after he left the house, Gu Xuan was escorted by two maids.
Shu Huan and Gu Xiran could still smell it faintly when she passed by Shu Huan and Gu Xiran. fresh aroma. The only difference is that her delicately contoured face can no longer see the charming charm of the past, her always downcast and timid eyes are now staring straight ahead openly, her slightly raised chin exudes aloofness and The arc of determination.
Watching her pass by, Shu Huan frowned slightly: "Why do I feel a little uneasy."
Before Gu Xiran looked back, he just shook his head, took her hand, and entered the main hall with her.
The old lady in the hall was already exhausted, leaning on Gu Xihe's body, showing her old age. In contrast, Gu Xuan was like a bud on a branch, with an amazing vitality.
As soon as she crossed the threshold, Gu Xuan didn't kneel down, didn't ask for peace, she just looked straight at the old lady and said, "I was the one who killed Gu Xitian and put arsenic on my sister-in-law."
This was a frank confession, but it was more of a vengeful provocation. Shu Huan saw her shining eyes shining with cruel excitement and the pleasure of revenge.
It's just that Gu Xuan didn't get what she wanted when she saw the old matriarch turn pale in shock or faint, and the attitudes of the others were also very calm, just looking at her in puzzlement, that's all.
"What?" She didn't know what happened before, she just thought that the old matriarch came to her to ask about Fang's miscarriage, so she frowned: "I said I was the one to blame, and the third brother It doesn't matter, don't you understand?"
The old lady moved her body slightly: "Why?"
The calmness of the crowd completely ruined the pleasure of revenge that Gu Xuan was looking forward to. A strong sense of loss was instantly revealed on her face. Her sudden anger was like a flower in the epiphyllum. After losing the usual quiet look, he stared blankly at the old matriarch for a while before saying, "You already know?"
"Why?" The old lady didn't answer her, but just repeated her own question.
Gu Xuan didn't want to answer this question, but turned her head to search in the hall, and asked, "Where is the third brother? Since you already know the truth of the matter, let him out. He is completely ignorant of this matter and is innocent."
The old matriarch's patience has been exhausted to the extreme, and she shouted suddenly: "I ask you why?"
The voice was loud, with the power and authority cultivated over the years, making Gu Xuan tremble like a conditioned reflex, and then she came back to her senses, looked at the old lady with complicated emotions, and hesitated to speak.
"Do you know what day it is today?" The old matriarch stared at her closely: "It was the day when your eldest brother's servant announced that there were so many relatives and friends gathered outside to mourn the funeral, and everyone was asking why Xitian was so young and said no. You know what it feels like to hear this kind of words in my and your father's ears? And you, just say a big stab, don't you feel guilty at all for killing people? You still feel very proud"
She took a breath, and continued without waiting for Gu Xuan to speak: "I usually see that you are well-behaved and sensible, and you are so pitiful that you lost your mother when you were young. So vicious that even an unborn child would not be spared..."
When the old lady mentioned that she lost her mother when she was young, Gu Xuan suddenly became emotional: "Don't mention my mother, you still know that I lost my mother when I was young? Then please tell me how my mother died."
The old lady's mood calmed down, and she said concisely: "He died of illness."
"Nonsense" Gu Xuan said angrily: "She was clearly killed by someone. Do you think that a four-year-old child can't remember things, so easy to deceive? Let me tell you, I remember everything clearly. I remember how she was beaten and how she was carried away." When I went back, I remembered that I begged the master, begging him to invite a doctor to treat my mother’s injury, but the master looked at me with contempt and disdain, not only refused to nod, but even kicked me away if the nanny didn’t grab me Take me away, and he will call someone to lock me up."
Speaking of this, Gu Xuan couldn't help crying: "The most cruel one is obviously his own daughter, the pillow person who used to be affectionate and affectionate. If he said no, he didn't want it anymore. Abandoning her is like a poor woman. She had to be fed even to eat, and it was an extremely hot summer. She had been lying down for a long time, and the wounds on her body had not healed, and even festered and boiled pus. incense, and then? The whole room is filled with the smell of rotten smell"
The old lady frowned tightly and pursed her lips in silence.
Gu Xuan became more and more emotional, took two steps forward, and stared into her eyes: "You certainly don't know what it's like to watch a person rot and deform in front of you until death. I was only four years old, Watching my mother lying in the bed struggling for several months like this, she didn't want to die quickly, but she often fell into a coma with a high fever, and couldn't even get up, so she could only beg in a weak voice, begging someone to help her, let her Get rid of it as soon as possible, don't suffer from this kind of pain again... "
Hearing the misery, Shu Huan glanced at Gu Xiran anxiously, and then heard Gu Xuan's voice choked up and continued.
"I hated myself for being useless at the time, hating myself for being afraid at the time, not helping her, and making her suffer so long before she died, and even when she died, she couldn't rest in peace. At the bedside, I stared at her blank eyes and thought for a long time. I thought that if I had the chance, I would definitely avenge her. I even begged God to let everything go back to three months ago. When I go back, I will definitely not be afraid anymore, I am willing to bear the charge of killing my mother and kill her with my own hands, I just hope that she can go away safely."
She broke down in sobs and cried for a while, gritted her teeth and asked the old matriarch, "Do you still want to ask me why? In fact, you know all of this, you know the cruelty of the master, the misery of my mother, and the fact that she was raped in the first place." The beating was caused by accidentally letting Gu Xitian fall into the pond while playing, but he didn't die, and was rescued well. How could you treat my mother so cruelly? Tell me, my mother died of illness"
The old lady sighed, and wanted to speak, but she heard Gu Xuan utter a vicious sentence that was like a curse, and she paused every word: "Now that I have the ability to take revenge, I want Gu Xitian to die, and I want him to die." I want my master to be alive and feel the pain I have suffered for decades. As for you, you accomplices, no one can live a good life. I hope that you will live in pain and regret for the rest of your life, and never forget me. Mom, never try to hide the truth."
