famous eldest daughter

Chapter 33

Gu Yuqing originally wanted to kick her out after the beating, but Gu Yuhe once again got the news in time and hurriedly cried and begged for mercy.

Gu Yuhe cried so hard in front of a room full of servants, and said without leaving any room for Gu Yuqing: "If my sister kicks her out, why don't you kick me out too! I'm the only one on the left who doesn't have the love of a mother." My child cannot help my sister in the house, but instead causes trouble to her every day and becomes a burden to my sister."

Every word Gu Yuhe spoke was like a poisonous needle poking Gu Yuqing's chest.

Since her mother passed away suddenly, she was forced to shoulder all the burdens of the family. Gu Yuqing forced herself to grow up overnight. From then on, she never relaxed her nerves. Every day, she was like a top, busy and exhausted.

She was only eight years old, the age when she needed to be pampered, loved and cared for, the age when she was coquettish and playful, but all of this was no longer possible for her.

What she has to do every day is to muster up 12 points of energy and work with Aunt Huang to battle wits and courage with the old and cunning servants in the house, and use all means to stifle their hearts that are ready to move because of their mother's death and father's neglect.

She must quickly establish the majesty of the eldest daughter of the Hou family in front of the family members.

It was clear that she had been tired all day long, but she could not sleep on the bed at night.

Fear, grievance, fear, longing, confusion... She huddled into a small ball in the night, hugging the quilt and crying.

But her biological sister was poking her heart like this in front of all the wives and maids. Gu Yuqing almost spent all her strength clenching her fists to prevent herself from crying in public.

She kept hinting to herself that Gu Yuhe was just young and ignorant and used to relying on Aunt Zhao, so he acted like this in desperation.

In desperation, Gu Yuqing asked someone to send Aunt Zhao back to the east courtyard.

This was the first time that Gu Yuqing was angry with Aunt Zhao, but this time she was so frightened that Aunt Zhao no longer dared to act like a monster in front of Gu Yuqing. Whenever she saw Gu Yuqing, she would nod her head and tighten her tail.

Gu Yuqing originally thought that she would be at peace from then on. Even though she still had bad intentions, she would not have the guts to do anything wrong again. However, she did not expect... After so many years, he had underestimated her bad character.

"Old witch!" Gu Yuqing gritted her teeth and said bitterly, then turned and told Ji Xiang, "Bring Aunt Zhao here."

At this time, Jixiang was still holding Jinjie's hand. Following Gu Yuqing's instructions, Jixiang didn't react for a while. He looked down at Jinjie and then up at Gu Yuqing, his eyes a little overwhelmed.

Miss, please go and take Aunt Zhao, who will catch the kumquats?

Originally filled with anger, Gu Yuqing suddenly burst into laughter at the confused expression on Ji Xiang's face, and her heavy heart eased a little as she recalled the past.

"Go and take Aunt Zhao first." Gu Yuqing gave Ji Xiang a clear order, "Let the people in the east side yard keep their mouths shut. If the second lady gets a hint of the news, I will kick them all out."

It's not that I'm afraid that if Gu Yuhe finds out and comes to plead for mercy, he will soften his heart, but he really doesn't want to hear her nagging in his ears.

After receiving the order, Ji Xiang immediately let go of Jin Jue's hand and turned around.

After Ji Xiang left, Gu Yuqing leaned on the pillow, closing her eyes tightly as if taking a rest, but her slightly trembling eyelashes and blue face showed the turmoil in her heart at the moment.

The past events came flooding back, and Gu Yuqing remembered that it seemed that when her mother passed away, Gu Yuhe didn't cry heartbrokenly, but when faced with Aunt Zhao being punished, she was so distraught that she couldn't help herself.

This is so abnormal.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuqing's angry and stuffy heart suddenly felt as if a hole had been torn open, and the wind carrying ice shards blew into her heart again, making her hands and feet cold.

Could it be that in Gu Yuhe's heart, his mother was not as close to him as Aunt Zhao?

Once this idea came to mind, it took root in Gu Yuqing's mind, getting deeper and deeper, and couldn't get rid of it.

Just as he was thinking about something, Ji Xiang came in with Nanny Zhao.

"The eldest lady has called the servants, but what are your orders?" Before the person arrived, Aunt Zhao's disgusting voice had already been heard. When the voice fell, she happened to enter the back room.

As soon as she entered the door, Nanny Zhao was startled by the appearance of kumquat and green chrysanthemum.

She was already afraid of Gu Yuqing in her heart. When she saw the faces of Kumquat and Green Chrysanthemums all looking as white as ghosts, Nanny Zhao's heart suddenly jumped. She didn't dare to say anything anymore and bowed to Gu Yuqing respectfully.

Gu Yuqing opened her eyes to look at Aunt Zhao and asked coldly: "You brought all the gifts that His Highness the Second Prince gave to the Second Young Lady?"

Hearing that this was what Gu Yuqing asked, Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with her respectful expression: "My servant brought me here. It was the second prince's order. Even if I have the guts, I wouldn't dare to refuse."

Hearing Aunt Zhao open her mouth to put the blame on Xiao Duo, Gu Yuqing showed a cold smile on her face.

"You dare not refuse the Second Prince's order, but you dare to ignore the Second Young Lady's maiden name? Do you know what the consequences will be if someone discovers the secret agreement?" Gu Yuqing asked.

As if she had already expected that Gu Yuqing would ask such a question, Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "The eldest lady is serious. His Highness is just sending some gadgets to the second young lady to play with. It is not considered a private exchange. The second young lady has not yet grown her hair." , just a child."

"Yes, the second young lady is still a child. What does she know? Naturally, she will be less suspicious of things sent by the nanny. But... you are not afraid that once I find out, I will accuse you of deceiving the master!" Gu Yuqing He looked at Aunt Zhao coldly.

Aunt Zhao's face trembled, and then she calmed down again. She bared her yellow teeth and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is serious again. I have already said it. I am obeying the orders of His Highness the Second Prince. What is the identity of His Highness the Second Prince? If I disobey him." , I’m not afraid of what he will do to the slaves, I’m just afraid that he will hate the Gu family.”

"So, you sent the Second Prince's things into the Second Young Lady's room behind my back, all for the sake of the Gu family?" Gu Yuqing laughed angrily.

How could there be such shameless people in this world!
"That's right." Aunt Zhao replied.

"Since you are so loyal, what do you think I should reward you for?" Gu Yuqing said, looking at the trembling fat on Aunt Zhao's face, with disgust in her eyes.

Aunt Zhao giggled, rubbed her hands and said, "It is your duty to serve the second young lady. The eldest lady feels that you have worked hard, so you can reward me with whatever you want. I don't have any choice."

"You don't want to pick?" Gu Yuqing stood straight, pointed at Aunt Zhao and said, "It's best if you don't pick. If you don't choose, I will pick for you. Jixiang, tell me to go down and reward Aunt Zhao with fifty sticks. Give it to me." Beat him with hatred!" There was a fierce look on his face.

As soon as Gu Yuqing finished speaking, Aunt Zhao's face immediately changed with horror, and her face began to tremble wildly.
