famous eldest daughter

Chapter 39
The candle flames on the candlestick danced brightly, reflecting the two strings of tears sliding down Gu Yuqing's pale face.

Her eyelashes, which were as long as feather fans, could not stop trembling, and tears were gurgling down her cheeks, seemingly endless.

In her last life, Xiao Duo and Gu Yuhe teamed up to force her to death. Gu Yuqing was not like this now, so sad that she couldn't breathe.

Although her heart was filled with grief, Gu Yuqing knew that she had more important things to do tonight and she had to cheer up.

After letting the tears flow freely for about a cup of tea, Gu Yuqing finally wiped them away with a handkerchief. After glancing at Gu Yuhe who was slumped on the ground and huddled in a ball, Gu Yuqing stood up and prepared to leave.

When he stood up, his sleeves swept over the tea cup on the small table. The tea cup slid over the edge of the table and fell to the ground with a clang. The cool tea in the cup splashed everywhere, and the tea cup broke into countless pieces and scattered on the ground.

The sudden sound of such a sound in the originally silent room was like a thunder exploding directly above Gu Yuhe's head.

Gu Yuhe's frightened heart suddenly couldn't bear it any longer. He wanted to raise his eyes to look at Gu Yuqing and bravely ask her why he asked her such a question. But before he could say anything, he fainted with a cry and fell to the ground.

Gu Yuqing was stunned and looked down at Gu Yuhe, who was lying at her feet, with blurry waves in her eyes.

After a long time, he finally took a deep breath and sighed slowly, raised his feet and left. When he left, his eyes were already clear.

Smart people always get out of trouble more easily than ordinary people.

The moment Gu Yuqing opened the door, a cold wind hit her face. The biting wind was filled with thick moisture, and the moisture was mixed with the scent of flowers, which made people feel refreshed.

I don’t know when the wind outside became so strong.

Instructing the maid who was waiting outside to take care of Gu Yuhe, Gu Yuqing walked along the corridor to the flower hall. Along the way, his eyes followed the swaying branches to the horizon, when a bright lightning struck across the sky, illuminating the sky in daylight.

It's another stormy night, and it looks like the rain tonight will be no less intense than last night.

"Miss, why did you come out like this without adding any clothes." Ji Xiang hurriedly chased after him with a cloak.

When Gu Yuqing heard the auspicious voice, she stopped and looked back at her.

Lightning flashed across the sky, and in the dazzling white light, Ji Xiang suddenly felt that Gu Yuqing was extraordinarily thin, her slender waist was full, and her small face and chin became a bit pointed.

Ji Xiang's nose felt sour and he quickly chased after him.

It would be great if the madam was still here. Why should the young lady be like this?

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Ji Xiang had already walked to Gu Yuqing, and carefully put on the cloak for her.

"When did you come back? Have you finished all the things over there?" Gu Yuqing tightened her cloak and asked, walking towards the flower hall again.

Ji Xiang followed Gu Yuqing and replied: "Mama Zhao has been killed with a stick. I ordered someone to wrap her in a straw mat and throw her to a mass grave in the suburbs. The blood stains in the east courtyard were also cleaned up, as was the slave. Just came back."

"I saw you from a distance without wearing a cloak, just wearing a single coat and walking in the corridor. I went back to the house to get the cloak and rushed over. When I returned to the house, I met Aunt Huang who was also going in. Aunt Huang He said that he would take the second young lady back to his ancestral home tonight."

Looking up at the weather, Jixiang said softly: "It looks like it's going to rain a lot. Aunt Huang is older after all, so why don't you let me send the second lady there."

Why isn't Gu Yuqing worried about Nanny Huang?

However, she knew in her heart that Nanny Huang had already made up her mind, and it would be useless for her to say anything more.

Unless she uses her identity as a young lady to suppress her, she will definitely obey, but... Gu Yuqing can't do such a thing.

Fortunately, Fengtai is not too far away. There are major roads all the way from Kyoto to Fengtai, and the road is easy to walk.

With a sigh in his heart, Gu Yuqing shook his head, "No, you have other things to do."

As Gu Yuqing said this, Ji Xiang stopped talking.

After walking through a few turns, they arrived at the flower hall. When they entered, kumquats and green chrysanthemums were already waiting inside.

Looking at Jinji Luju's loose hair and untidy clothes, Gu Yuqing knew that they followed Gu Yuhe from the east side yard and returned to Tongyuan before they had time to freshen up.

Seeing Gu Yuqing come in, Kumquat and Luju hurriedly saluted Gu Yuqing in a serious manner.

Gu Yuqing was discussing matters in the flower hall and was used to sitting in the second seat. The vacant main seat was covered with her mother's favorite cream-yellow cushion embroidered with begonias. Whenever he encountered any difficulties, he just had to look at the brilliantly blooming begonias. , Gu Yuqing can always find reasons to persist.

But today, her eyes fell on the scorching begonias in bloom. Gu Yuqing felt that the blooming begonias made her eyes sore and astringent, her nose was also sore and uncomfortable, and her throat seemed to be clogged with a ball of water-absorbing sponge. It was ridiculous that it hurt for her to swallow her saliva.

Mother, my daughter misses you so much and wants you to hug her.

……

After staring at the begonia for a long time, Gu Yuqing finally forced back the tears floating in her eyes. Her eyes fell on the golden orange and green chrysanthemum, and her eyes were clear.

"In the past, every time the Second Prince came here, he would not avoid you, right?" Gu Yuqing said in a cold voice.

Jinjie and Luju both nodded, and Jinju said: "Yes, if the second prince needs it, the slave and Luju will make tea for the second prince."

Gu Yuqing sneered in her heart.

Xiao Duo is really bold. Isn't he afraid that Kumquat Luju will expose them to him?

Or rather, he had made up his mind that even if he caught them on the spot, he would choose to turn a blind eye for the sake of Jinghe's reputation.

"Did the Second Prince promise you a favor or did the Second Young Lady promise you a favor? Why didn't you come and tell me that something like this happened?" In fact, Gu Yuqing asked such a question purely out of curiosity.

Her anger over Xiao Duo's private meeting with Gu Yuhe has long since passed. What she wants to do now is to teach Xiao Duo a profound lesson.

Kumquat and Luju were so frightened that their legs went weak and they both knelt down.

Jin Jue was more courageous than Lv Ju. Jin Jue said with a mournful face: "The slaves were temporarily confused and were bribed by the few pairs of earrings given by the second lady. Please spare your life, eldest lady."

Several pairs of earrings...

Gu Yuqing was speechless for a moment, unable to laugh or cry.

I don't know whether they are ignorant or fearless, but a few pairs of earrings were able to bribe them into saying nothing about such a heinous matter.

It seemed that she still needed to deal with this servant of the Marquis Mansion.

Gu Yuqing had no intention of getting entangled in this matter anymore, not to mention that was not her original intention.

"It's fine if the second prince doesn't come tonight. If he comes, I want you two to pretend that nothing has happened and lead him to the backyard of the east courtyard. Can you do it?" Gu Yuqing picked up the tea cup at the right temperature and sipped it. After taking a sip, the aroma of tea immediately filled my tongue.
