famous eldest daughter

Chapter 38 Complexion
When she rushed over, Nanny Zhao was being tied to a stool and being beaten. The east courtyard was full of people watching the excitement.

The board fell heavily, and Aunt Zhao burst into tears.

Gu Yuhe used her status as the second young lady of the Hou Mansion to order and threaten those people to release Nanny Zhao. But the person who was imprisoned was Ji Xiang. As long as she didn't say anything, who would dare to release her!

Everyone knows that Jixiang is the maid beside Gu Yuqing, and she represents Gu Yuqing.

No matter how Gu Yuhe threatened, ordered, or begged Jixiang to let her go, Jixiang would not blink or even look at her.

The board fell down like a scream, and Aunt Zhao screamed in pain, "Second Miss, help me."

Gu Yuhe had no choice but to rush to Gu Yuqing.

He was originally filled with overwhelming anger and resentment, but when he saw Gu Yuqing's bottomless eyes like a cold pool, he shuddered all over.

Biting his mouth hard, a thin layer of blood oozed from the corners of Gu Yuhe's mouth, staining his white teeth red, which was particularly shocking.

The blood at the corner of Gu Yuhe's mouth was like a poisonous needle, stinging Gu Yuqing's eyes.

Gu Yuqing turned to look at Aunt Huang, "Mom, it's up to you. Let's leave tonight. You go and pack up. You don't have to come and say goodbye to me when you leave." There was fatigue in his voice.

After saying this, Gu Yuqing suddenly felt like something flashed through his heart. It hurt but felt much lighter.

It was as if a big stone had been moved away, but when the stone left, it made another cut in her heart.

After receiving Gu Yuqing's instructions, Nanny Huang stood up and left. When she walked to Gu Yuhe's side, her eyes passed over Gu Yuhe's face, which made Gu Yuhe shiver again.

Although Nanny Huang always had a sullen face and Gu Yuhe usually did not dare to talk to Nanny Huang, she had never been like this today. Her eyes looked at her as if they were frozen in ice, extremely cold.

Gu Yuhe didn't understand why Nanny Huang looked at her like this, and she didn't understand what Gu Yuqing was talking to Nanny Huang about leaving tonight. However, she didn't understand. Her whole heart was occupied by Nanny Zhao who was getting slapped. occupy.

Aunt Zhao's shrill screams lingered in her ears.

Taking a look at Gu Yuqing's majesty, Gu Yuhe finally lost the aggressive anger just now, but took a different approach.

"Sister, I beg you, please let Aunt Zhao go. She is my wet nurse after all. Sister also knows that I was born prematurely. If it weren't for Aunt Zhao, I would have died a long time ago. She is my benefactor. I Only Aunt Zhao saved her life. Sister, I beg you, let her go, she can't withstand the beating at her age."

As soon as Nanny Huang left, Gu Yuhe knelt down in front of Gu Yuqing and kowtowed as if pounding garlic.

Gu Yuqing had always felt that Gu Yuhe lacked the innate aura of Miss Hou Mansion, and was even inferior to the daughter of the Jingzhao Yin family in terms of temperament.

Looking at her now, I feel more and more like a maid serving people, but she is just wearing silk and has a pretty face.

"Let me ask you, in your heart, who is closer to you, your mother or Aunt Zhao?" Gu Yuqing stared at Gu Yuhe for a moment, waiting for her answer.

Some things were just guesses, conjectures, conjectures. After all, she still wanted to hear it from Gu Yuhe himself before she was willing to accept it.

After all, they are direct sisters whose blood is thicker than water.

Gu Yuhe never expected that Gu Yuqing would ask her such a question at this time.

She was stunned for a moment, and then a thick layer of fear filled her heart, wrapping her heart that was tightening tighter and tighter for a moment.

Eyes unnaturally avoiding Gu Yuqing's direct gaze, Gu Yuhe pursed his lips and said: "Since... I have naturally been close to my mother. No matter how good Aunt Zhao is, she is just a wet nurse, but my mother is my biological mother."

Although Gu Yuhe was speaking without any confusion while clenching his fists in his sleeves, disappointment and heartache still hit Gu Yuqing's heart like a tide.

As smart as Gu Yuqing, she could tell at a glance how anxious and uneasy Gu Yuhe's eyes were as he avoided her.

What's more, Gu Yuhe's pale face had betrayed her long ago, but she didn't know it.

Such a question was not a problem at all, but she was so nervous and flustered that the implications made Gu Yuqing shudder.

Even though he already had the answer in his heart, Gu Yuqing still found it difficult to accept this fact.

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down, Gu Yuqing said to Gu Yuhe with a wooden face: "You don't have to plead for Aunt Zhao anymore. Although she is your nurse, she is also a servant of the Hou Mansion. Now that I am in charge of the family, if she made a mistake, I can naturally punish her, as for what mistake she made, I think you know it well."

Gu Yuqing no longer struggled with whether the mother or the wet nurse was more affectionate, and the topic finally returned to Aunt Zhao. This made Gu Yuhe breathe a sigh of relief, and his anxious heart became more at ease.

He ran all the way without panting, but the sweat he was sweating was less than one-third of the cold sweat he had just had because of the panic.

Obviously he came here because of Zhao Nanny's affairs, and he was so anxious just a moment ago, but at this moment, Gu Yuhe didn't care too much about whether Zhao Nanny was going to be killed with a stick.

She didn't understand why her sister suddenly asked her whether her mother was closer to Aunt Zhao. Could it be that her sister had discovered something?
Looking secretly at Gu Yuqing, Gu Yuhe's cautious eyes were full of nervousness.

Impossible, absolutely impossible, she was so cautious about what happened back then, my sister would never find out, no.

Gu Yuhe kept cheering himself up to calm down, but the hands shrunk in his sleeves were shaking more and more.

"Sister, what mistake did Aunt Zhao make? You want to punish her like this? Sister said I knew it, but I really don't know." Looking at Gu Yuqing's expression, Gu Yuhe asked cautiously. Although she tried to restrain herself, she couldn't. The voice was still full of tremors.

"Sister, I'm really scared if you kill Aunt Zhao with a stick like this." Gu Yuhe added as if to explain why her voice was shaking so fiercely.

Gu Yuqing looked at Gu Yuhe coldly, feeling that he was looking at a complete white-eyed wolf, a black-hearted white-eyed wolf.

Her mother treated her so well, but it was not as important as Aunt Zhao in her heart.

In the last life, he took care of her with all his heart and soul, but in exchange for her, she received a glass of deadly poisonous wine.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuqing felt as if she was trapped in a cold winter ice cave, and her whole body was chilled.

"Yuhe, who said what in front of you before my mother passed away, so that you could ask such words to Aunt Zhao during her mother's mourning period." Gu Yuqing's hands holding the pillow tightly had clear joints and white bones.

Even though he knew there was no answer, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but ask.

After hearing this, Gu Yuhe, who had been trying to maintain his composure on the surface, could no longer hold back. His face suddenly turned as gray as a dead person. He looked at Gu Yuqing with horrified eyes, and his whole body collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud, shaking like chaff.

Gu Yuqing, who had been looking at Gu Yuhe, felt pain and hatred in his heart when he saw her react like this. He slowly closed his eyes weakly, not wanting to look at her again.
