This matter completely deviates from Gu Xuan's cognition in the past ten years. She is unwilling to believe it, but the old lady's words are very methodical, and there is no flaw at all. She cannot tolerate her disbelief. She can only be dazed after hearing , don't know what to say, what to say.
It turns out that the first mistake was all made by her mother? It's her mother's own fault, and she hated her father for so many years, so cruel, so heartless, it's justifiable
Gu Xuan was completely confused. After the initial shock passed, she realized that if this was the case, then what she did next, the person she killed...
no no no
she can't take it
When she started to kill, she was always righteous, thinking that she was doing justice for the heavens and avenging her mother, so there was hatred, resentment, and bitterness in her heart, but she had no guilt or uneasy conscience
She always thought she was right, but now the old lady told her that she was wrong, all wrong, how could she accept it
The emotional reversal made Gu Xuan suddenly become anxious. She desperately recalled what the old lady said just now, trying to find loopholes in it, to prove that all these are lies, lies to defeat her and slander her mother.
In the frenzied confusion, she couldn't hear a single word of other people's words. She just held her head and thought hard, until finally she inadvertently raised her eyes and saw Gu Dana's back standing outside the pavilion, so the words jumped into the air. She thought: These many children are all my own flesh and blood, but you are the only one who is a bastard.
"You lied to me, you lied to me!" Gu Xuan finally shouted angrily at the old lady: "If this is the case, why does the master say that I am a bastard? What you two say is not right at all. You are both liars." You're lying to me and I don't trust any of you"
The old lady frowned, and just about to explain, she saw Gu Da turning around and walking back.
Compared with the previous irascibility, Gu Da is obviously much calmer at this moment, but he still looked at Gu Xuan with unconcealable disgust and hatred, and said coldly: "You might as well ask your mother about this kind of thing in the future, She's the real liar"
"You—" Gu Xuan couldn't stand someone insulting her mother the most, and immediately wanted to get up from the ground, but she was beaten too hard just now, so she stood up, her leg hurt, and she fell down again.
"Okay." The old lady glanced at Gu Da dissatisfiedly: "Have you lived longer and returned? Things are already like this, and you are still busy saying these mean words without regard to your status"
Even though he had lived a long time, Gu Da still didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of the old matriarch, he just listened to the training with crutches, but he still had resentment in his heart, and finally he justified: "What the son said is In fact, if Shizuka hadn't lied to her son earlier, now..."
"Still talking about back then." The old lady suddenly became angry: "If you were willing to listen to me back then and didn't accept her as a passerby, would there still be today's business?"
Gu Da was speechless after being refuted, sighed dejectedly, and sat down on the stone bench.
The old lady gave him a look of resentment. This son always taught her to worry. It has been like this for so many years, but now it is useless to pursue these things. I didn't want to mention it again, but now I'm telling you, just to let you understand that your mother's behavior is different from what you thought, and even if she ended up in a tragic death, it's her own fault, it's not because someone deliberately harmed her. I have complained for many years, harmed your elder brother and sister-in-law, and their children, it is so wrong that there is no cure."
Gu Xuan stubbornly pursed her lips and remained silent, just waiting for her to continue.
The old matriarch thought for a while, then sent Gu Xihe and said: "Go to my room, there is a living floor tile under the bonsai shelf by the window, you lift it up, and get the gold-painted black box inside."
Gu Xihe hesitated for a moment, he didn't want to go, he was afraid of missing the hearing, and finally the old lady said: "Go, we'll talk about it when you come."
Only then did he run away, but after a while he ran back holding the box, panting, "Is this the box?"
The old lady nodded and taught him to open it.
Inside the box was a pair of men's shoes that were half-finished, and a pair of small auspicious wishful concentric locks, buckled together, made of sterling silver, which had turned black with age.
The old lady signaled Gu Xuan to take it and take a closer look.
Gu Xuan didn't care about the shoes, she turned over the concentric locks first, only to see that the back of the pair of silver locks was engraved with a word of static and a word of sea, these two words burned her hands and eyes like flames, and made her panic Throwing it away, he turned his head away.
"These things were all found from your mother's room at that time." The old lady said calmly: "Your mother's name is Jingxiang, and that man's name is Haisheng. I don't need to explain the meaning of the concentric lock, you should know it. As for the pair of shoes, they have been compared with the master's shoes a long time ago, and the size is different, so it is conceivable who they are for."
Gu Xuan's mother was good at working as a female worker back then, so she left behind a lot of needlework. She saw it when she was a child, so she naturally recognized it. In fact, she just recognized the needlework on the pair of shoes just now. Her mother's hand.
If words are not credible, then in the face of these two solid evidences, she has no choice but to believe
The old matriarch also said: "You may still be surprised, our family has always been strict, not to mention strangers outside, even adult servants are not allowed to enter the second door easily, so who is this Haisheng?"
Gu Xuan nodded hesitantly, and was about to ask this.
The old lady frowned and said, "He is your mother's brother."
"what-"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Gu Xuan was shocked, even Shu Huan and others were shocked.
Gu Da snorted and said, "What kind of brother, it's just a cover."
The old matriarch nodded and said: "I said it was my brother, but in fact it was your mother's former good friend. I was afraid that after being accepted into the door, I would cut off all contact, so I just coaxed the master to say that it was my brother. The master didn't doubt him at that time, so I just let him go." Believe it. Since they are relatives of the natal family, it’s okay to meet occasionally. There is no reason not to meet each other. I don’t know what happened to your mother when she was in the outer courtyard. He only came once in March and May, but since your mother fell out of favor, he has been leaving diligently, and he always comes here two or three times a month."
Speaking of this, the old matriarch became silent again, with an annoyed look on his face: "At that time, the maid came back and forth with me, and I just thought she had fallen out of favor, and I felt uncomfortable. Having a brother from my mother's family who talked to me could also relieve some depression. , I told the servant girl to ignore it, but you must watch closely when you go in and out, and don't allow that person to go anywhere else. Afterwards, it came out right."
What she said made Gu Xuan completely speechless. She lowered her head and trembled slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
The old matriarch glanced at her: "Since the two of them dated before your mother knew your father, then your mother was pregnant at that time, and whose child was in her belly, I really can't tell, but your appearance is as you like." Mother, don't say that the master can't tell, even your mother may not be able to tell."
The last sentence hit Gu Xuan's heart like a heavy hammer. She felt her heart beating faster, her head sank, and she couldn't hold on any longer. When her eyes went dark, she fell to the ground.
