60, slap in the face
It was late at night, but the candles in the Manfu Courtyard of the Gu Mansion were bright.
The old lady Gu was shocked by the change in Gu Qianxue. Ever since her granddaughter fell into the lake, her temperament has changed drastically. Not only is she no longer mediocre and frivolous, but she is smart and wise. relationship.
Zhou Rongqiu, who is that character
That is a person that ordinary dignitaries can't get in touch with. The Zhou family has saved the life of the founding emperor of Nanyue. It is rumored that the Zhou family even has a death-proof token. In the entire Nanyue Kingdom, the death-free token will never exceed three yuan.
Now the Zhou family is dying, but even so, it still exists like a myth. Every few years, the emperor will send someone to the palace to treat the emperor and others. He wanted to find Doctor Zhou, and for this reason, rewards like gold and silver were poured into Zhou's family like flowing water.
Who would dare to offend such a genius doctor family
And it was such a legend-like genius doctor who actually had a relationship with Gu Qianxue.
The old lady Gu's eyes looking at Gu Qianxue became softer and meaningful.
Gu Shangshu was naturally also surprised, how could his mediocre daughter have contact with the genius doctor, even he only heard of the name of the genius doctor Zhou, but never met him.
"Really?" Gu Shangshu had long forgotten the previous anger and asked in surprise.
Gu Qianxue didn't provoke Gu Qingze any more this time, and nodded honestly, "Really."
Gu Shangshu's heart was pounding, but he tried his best to suppress the surprise and excitement, "Why didn't you just say it?" His voice had long lost his temper.
"Because of Concubine Qin's illness, I discussed the solution with Doctor Zhou, and even went to Zhou Mansion to find herbs. When I returned, I almost missed the gate of the city. I was very tired. And after returning to the mansion, you didn't ask what was wrong. I just want to say it, but I don't know where to start." Gu Qianxue lowered her head, as if she was very sad, but in fact, her face was full of sarcasm.
"Okay, it was my father's fault just now, I was impulsive without asking clearly, it was indeed a misunderstanding." For the first time, Gu Shangshu actually apologized.
Gu Qianxue raised her head with a smile, with a bright smile, "Thank you, Lord Shangshu."
The bewildered Mrs. Zhao was still squatting beside Gu Qianxue's feet, holding Gu Qianxue's legs with two white and tender hands.
"Qianxue is tired, go back and rest earlier." Zheng said with a smile.
Gu Qianxue nodded, "Going back to grandma, Qianxue is indeed a little tired, but... her chest is stuffy, but she is extremely uncomfortable."
"Are you too tired?" This time it was not Zheng Shi who spoke with concern, but Gu Shangshu.
Gu Qianxue took advantage of Gu Qingze's weakness, she likes to cling to power the most, and is also the most realistic.
"No, it's just that I'm depressed." Gu Qianxue pretended to smile a few times, then raised her eyes, her eyes were full of pretended sadness, "I am your biological daughter, but you don't trust me but a servant, if they frame you What should I do? What if the person behind them framed me?"
Everyone looked at Gu Qianrou in unison.
Cui'er is Gu Qianrou's maid, as everyone knows.
Gu Qianrou became more and more nervous, she said anxiously, "What do you all look at, this matter is none of my business!"
But the more Gu Qianrou explained, the more she wanted to cover up.
"The master knows clearly, and must return Rouer's innocence!" Aunt Pei hurried forward and knelt on the ground.
Gu Qingze finally sighed, "Forget it, it's getting late, let's all go back and rest."
Gu Qianxue knew Gu Shangshu's embarrassment, so what if she saw Gu Qianrou's slander? Behind her is Aunt Pei, the Queen, and the Prime Minister Pei's family. What else can Gu Shangshu do
At this time, even Gu Qianxue began to feel pity for Gu Shangshu, the majestic man relied on his nepotism to get to the top, and now he is blackmailed to death by the prime minister, it's pitiful.
But Gu Qianxue also knew that Gu Shangshu was cunning, since he secretly let Gu Qianrou go, he would use another method to compensate her, but he didn't know what method to use.
I am looking forward to it.
Seeing that they couldn't see a good show, the aunts left bored, including Aunt Pei, who also stood up with Gu Qianrou's support, and gave Gu Qianxue and Zhao Shi a vicious look.
There was a burst of fragrance, and the rings jingled, and I saw Aunt Liu approaching gracefully.
Aunt Liu is Gu Qingze's new concubine. This is not because of the Liu family's background, but because Gu Shangshu has no son so far. There are three unfilial sons who have no descendants. This descendant refers to the son.
Gu Qingze took in three beautiful concubines from innocent families at one go, and Aunt Liu was the most favored among them.
Aunt Liu is eighteen years old this year, only four years older than Gu Qianxue, and it is the most beautiful period in a girl's life. In addition, her appearance is pure and soft, like a lotus in water or a lily with dew in it. Although she has not read many books, she has a clever mind and a sweet mouth, and is very good at coaxing people. Gu Shangshu spends most of a month in her room.
The aunts were very greedy, but there was nothing they could do.
After the farce was over, Aunt Liu walked towards Gu Shangshu gracefully, naturally inviting him to her yard.
Everyone did not expect that Gu Shangshu refused for the first time, "Liu Er, go back and rest first, I will go to Peony Garden tonight."
Peony Court
Peony Courtyard is the courtyard of Mrs. Zhao.
Not to mention that Gu Qianxue was shocked, even Mrs. Zhao was shocked. The mother and daughter froze in place, staring at Gu Qingze dumbfounded.
Gu Qingze blushed from the sight of the two, and said angrily, "What are you looking at, I'm going to the wife's courtyard, do you have any questions?"
The two hurriedly shook their heads frequently, with the same rhythm.
At this time, the two looked like mother and daughter.
Mrs. Zheng laughed, and said, "That's right, you are also a married couple after all, and you should be closer, so that I can explain to my in-laws." After finishing speaking, she looked around, "What are you looking at? Don’t you want to leave? My Manfuyuan happens to be dirty, so those who don’t want to leave stay and help me pick it up.”
All the aunts hurriedly bowed to Zheng Shifu and left in a hurry.
At the door, Gu Qianrou stomped her feet angrily, "That bitch, I really want to kill her, no, I have to scratch her face first."
Aunt Pei was also white with anger, but when she turned around and saw the figures of the people in the room, she smiled, "Don't worry, that bitch thought she was smart and won favor for her fat pig girl, but she didn't expect Offend Aunt Liu, that little slut, Aunt Liu, is not easy to mess with."
Gu Qianrou felt a little more balanced after hearing Aunt Pei's words. "Hmph, let them bite the dog, and then we will reap the benefits of the fisherman."
Aunt Pei smiled and nodded, "That is."
Even so, Gu Qianrou still felt angry, "Why did that bitch suddenly know how to heal? It's so wicked."
Aunt Pei also turned sideways, squinting her eyes, staring at Gu Qianxue's back in the hall, her eyes were gloomy.
