Gu Xuan was still screaming to vent, persistently not believing anything Gu Da said.
When she finally calmed down, she heard an old and tired voice say: "He didn't lie to you, you better believe it"
Gu Xuan turned her head suddenly, and saw the old matriarch sitting on a bamboo chair outside the gazebo, with Gu Xihe and Gu Yun beside her, and two maids who brought the chairs over, but the expressions on the maids' faces were clearly extremely embarrassing and frightened , knowing that they had heard something that they could not hear, they were extremely anxious, but it was because the old matriarch did not speak, and they did not dare to back away.
"Carry me over there." The old matriarch glanced at them indifferently, and waited until they were carried to the gazebo before saying: "You guys step back first."
The two maids were relieved and hurriedly avoided, but this time the embarrassing person became Gu Da, wearing a green hat on his head. Except for the old matriarch and Mrs. Lin who couldn't hide it, no one else knew. Now, on impulse, he revealed it in front of his own woman. When he thought about it afterwards, his old face couldn't help turning red, but it was not good. When it was exposed, he could only keep his face tense, hold his hands behind his back, tilt his head slightly, and stand there pretending to be nonchalant.
However, Gu Xihe was very ungrateful, and said innocently: "Master, third sister is not your own flesh and blood, why have you raised her for so many years?"
Just one word made Gu Da's embarrassment invisible, his old face turned blue and purple, and the color was really pretty.
Shu Huan glanced at Gu Xihe, was this intentional? After staying in a big dye vat like the Gu family for a long time, he is used to watching wives and concubines fight, so he is not so pure and flawless
The old lady obviously thought so too, and gave him a warning look: "You want to be whipped again? What nonsense?"
Gu Xihe sticks out his tongue, avoids behind the old matriarch and makes no sound.
In the past few days, so many things have happened at home, and only then did he realize that the intrigues and struggles he had been in contact with before were nothing compared to these, which made him feel bad for the father in front of him who couldn't get close at all. She expressed a bit of contempt, knowing that it would not be good for her to speak out against him, but she still couldn't help but want to tear off his dignified coat, wanting to see his face suddenly change, and he looked extremely angry.
After the old matriarch scolded Gu Xihe, she saw Gu Xuan sitting on the ground dumbly shaking her head in a blink of an eye, and knew that she still couldn't believe this fact, so she couldn't help sighing secretly: "Since this matter is out of the way, I also I don’t want to hide it from you anymore, so let’s make it clear.”
She said, then turned to look at the others, and said helplessly: "Listen, too, and feel a little vigilant in your heart. It's just that the family ugliness should not be exposed. After listening, cover it to death in your heart, and no one is allowed to publicize it. "
"Yes—" Gu Xihe answered loudly and loudly, even Gu Yun couldn't stand it, and gave him a supercilious look.
Gu Da's complexion became more and more ugly, but it involved himself, his face was completely swept away, how could he have the confidence to scold him again? I had no choice but to pretend I didn't hear it, snorted coldly, and turned my face away.
The old lady ignored him, and said directly to Gu Xuan: "Your mother used to be a singer who sang outside. She has an outstanding appearance. The master fell in love with her when she saw it accidentally. She insisted on bringing her to the house, because she had a fight with me at the beginning. , but I was afraid of ruining the family tradition, so I insisted that if he wants to take a concubine, he should take a good girl from a good family, and he is not allowed to take those fireworks girls who show their faces. He couldn't persuade me, so I had to agree. Until your mother was pregnant, he didn't dare to tell me about it. In the end, I heard the rumors and rushed to ask him, and he recognized it, and begged me to take your mother home for delivery. .”
The absurdity of his youth was exposed in front of the woman, Gu Da couldn't bear to listen to it, so he pretended to relax while standing on the crutches, and slowly walked outside the gazebo.
The old matriarch continued with a sigh: "Since they are all pregnant, no matter if it is a man or a woman, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, they are all the flesh and blood of our Gu family. I let your mother in for a while, and I was afraid of her. When something happened, a confidant maid was sent to serve her. However, your mother was used to singing since she was a child, and she knew how to show little attention. Harmonious, there is no quarrel, she has been favored after giving birth to you, and it was not until the master took another concubine that she was left in the cold."
Speaking of this, the old matriarch frowned. After all, it was an ugly thing. If you want to say it, you have to pull your face, so you pondered for a long time, until Gu Xuan couldn't help but urged: "What happened next?"
She is also eager to know the truth
The old matriarch glanced at her before continuing: "Later, I saw that she didn't complain about the noise when she was neglected, and I liked her a little in my heart, and I often called her to serve by my side. It happened that she liked children, so I raised her at that time. Xi Tian in the room is also very affectionate, sometimes when she didn't come, Xi Tian would go to her courtyard to look for her, too many times, he would inevitably run into that scandal."
She spoke cryptically, and Gu Xuan was stunned: "What scandal?"
"What scandal can there be?" The old lady put on a straight face, and said coldly: "Your mother was also panicked at the time, and she even coaxed Xitian to stop talking about it with cakes, but Xitian will soon be at Xihe's age Is there anything I don’t know? I just felt annoyed, so I turned around and told the master about it. The master was so angry that he immediately called her to ask. In the end, the strange man's belongings were found in her room, and she had nothing to say."
These words made Gu Xuan dumbfounded. After all, she was still a baby at the time, and she really couldn't remember other things except for the fact that her mother was beaten to death, which impressed her deeply.
The old matriarch also knew that she couldn't remember, so she paused intentionally, and waited for her to sort out her thoughts a little bit, before continuing: "You probably have some impressions of what happened later, but your mother was beaten, and then the master called someone to arrest her." She carried it back, angrily forbidding anyone to ask a doctor to treat her wounds, leaving her to fend for herself.”
With tears in her eyes, Gu Xuan choked up and said, "Then it's true that my mother was beaten for causing my elder brother to fall into the water?"
The old matriarch nodded and said: "Such a scandal in the family should be publicized? Naturally, I can only blame the master, and try to find a way to cover it up. All the servants who knew about it called the maid to come and go away. Afterwards, you said that your mother pushed Xi Tian into the water on purpose, and she had a terrible heart, so she quietly covered up the matter."
Having said that, she took a deep look at Gu Xuan: "As for you, who would have the heart to do something to an ignorant child? I just sent a message, let's treat it like a granddaughter, but the master doesn't love you, anyone can tell , so you have been treated coldly since you were young. I know all these things, but I will not stand up for you, and keep telling you that your mother died of illness just to see if you can remember your mother. , do you hide any resentment in your heart, but I didn't expect you to hide your thoughts so deeply at such a young age. You are usually gentle in words and deeds, calm in character, and never argue with others. Even I lost my eyes and didn't see the slightest clue , otherwise it would be difficult for you to do such an unforgivable thing."
Although she was already extremely restrained and wanted to calm herself down, after the old matriarch finished speaking, she looked at Gu Xuan with disgust that could not be concealed no matter how hard she tried. If it is possible, she will never want to see Gu Xuan again in this life, and she doesn't want to think about this scandal that has been buried for ten years and finally caused complete chaos in the Gu family.
