famous eldest daughter

Chapter 45
While they were talking, the little maid from Tongyuan came in and reported, "Miss, the kumquat green chrysanthemum in front of the second miss wants to see you."

Everyone only knew that Gu Yuqing killed Gu Yuhe's wet nurse, Aunt Zhao, with a stick, but they did not know that Gu Yuqing sent Gu Yuhe back to the ancestral home. Gu Yuqing only told the public that Gu Yuhe was sick, and she was worried that Gu Yuhe lived alone in the east courtyard and sent her He placed it in the Bisha cupboard outside his house and took care of it himself.

Gu Yuqing's house, apart from being auspicious and unexpected, no other servants would dare to step into it without her permission.

After hearing what the little maid said, Gu Yuqing's eyes flashed slightly. The two of them came here at this time, presumably to beg for mercy.

"Let's take it to the flower hall first." Gu Yuqing thought for a moment and then ordered.

To be honest, she hasn't figured out how to deal with these two maids yet.

In the last life, Gu Yuqing didn't find out about the private affairs between Gu Yuhe and Xiao Duo, and naturally she didn't know that Kumquat and Luju had lied to her about this matter, but she always remembered that in that life, Kumquat and Luju was her lifesaver .

It was the third year that Gu Yuqing assisted Xiao Duo, New Year's Eve.

After the New Year's Eve, Gu Yuqing supported Ji Xiang Ruyi and returned to Tongyuan to rest. While he was washing up, Kumquat and Green Chrysanthemum hurriedly came to report that Gu Yuhe had come to Kwai Shui.

Because it was his first time here, Gu Yuhe was so frightened that he burst into tears. Kumquat and Luju could not comfort him, so he had to report it to Gu Yuqing.

Gu Yuqing was about to change clothes and go to the east side courtyard. Suddenly, the crackle of weapons was heard outside the courtyard. Jixiang Ruyi suddenly became nervous and walked away with a solemn expression.

As soon as they broke the window and went out, a masked man in black rushed in with a bright sharp knife, the tip of the knife pointed directly at Gu Yuqing, and he was as fast as breaking a bamboo.

This was not the first time Gu Yuqing was assassinated. Although he was scared, he was not particularly panicked. It was just poor Kumquat Luju who was so frightened by such a scene that his face turned pale and he screamed in fear.

Kumquat and Luju's screams attracted Ji Xiang Ruyi's attention. Only then did they realize that they had fallen into the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and they immediately ran away and ran towards Gu Yuqing.

But there were too many assassins in the courtyard, and Ji Xiang Ruyi was surrounded, so they couldn't escape immediately.

Seeing the tip of the knife touching his face, Gu Yuqing was suddenly pushed away. When he was shocked, Jin Jue's voice came to his ears, "Miss, run quickly."

Gu Yuqing was pushed hard by Jin Jue, and she staggered a few steps to avoid the sharp blade that was piercing her. When she turned around, she saw a sharp knife stuck in Jin Jue's chest, and horrifying red blood was gurgling from her chest.

"Kumquat!" Gu Yuqing couldn't help shouting, her voice choked with sobs.

Seeing that he had killed the wrong person, the assassin drew his knife and was about to stab Gu Yuqing again. However, Jin Jue held the knife with his bare hands and tightly grasped the sharp blade. His mouth was bleeding and he shouted, "Miss, run, run."

It's just that how could a weak woman like Jin Jue be able to withstand the strength of the assassin? Before she could finish her words, she was kicked away by the assassin. When she was flying into the air, the assassin's sharp knife was pulled out from Jin Jue's chest, and blood suddenly flowed like a fountain. , scattered scarlet all over the ground.

Gu Yuqing was so shocked by Jin Jue's loyalty that she couldn't move for a moment, but before she could recover from the shock Jin Jue gave her, she saw Lu Ju, who had always been timid and cowardly, rushing toward the assassin like crazy. He hugged her legs tightly and shouted to her desperately: "Miss, go quickly."

Although Lu Ju was weak, her hands seemed to be embedded in the assassin's legs. No matter how much he punched or kicked her, Lu Ju just clenched her teeth and refused to let go. Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth to her gray face. Yuqing's heart hurts when she saw it.

Almost without thinking, Gu Yuqing picked up a vase and threw it at the assassin. At that moment, Gu Yuqing only had one thought in her mind, which was to rescue Lu Ju. As for her life or death, she had already taken care of it. Not here.

Gu Yuqing's counterattack came too suddenly, and the assassin was trapped by Luju again, so Gu Yuqing hit him with one blow.

Although Gu Yuqing had little strength, the sharp piece of vase porcelain scratched his head, and the impact on the assassin was still considerable. The assassin was immediately unsteady on his feet and staggered a few times.

"Miss, please leave me alone, run away!" Luju gritted her teeth and shouted at Gu Yuqing, wrapping her arms around the assassin's thighs, hugging her tightly and not letting go.

What Gu Yuqing saw in Lu Ju's eyes was not panic and fear, but calm composure and a calmness that looked back upon death.

Such a loyal maid, how could Gu Yuqing ignore her, just using the method of sneak attacking with a vase can only be used once when the assassin is not ready, but it is impossible to use it again.

Looking over the assassin's shoulder and pausing behind him, Gu Yuqing withdrew her gaze and faced the assassin directly, "The person you want is me, why hurt an innocent person? Let her go."

Gu Yuqing's voice was extremely cold, as if there were three feet of frozen ice, and it was also filled with overbearing arrogance and majesty, which made people feel shocked.

The assassin was thrown down by Gu Yuqing's vase, and was full of anger. He was about to slash at the green chrysanthemum under his feet, but when he heard Gu Yuqing's words, he paused for no reason, and turned to look at Gu Yuqing.

Seeing the assassin's hand stop moving, Gu Yuqing glanced at Lu Ju calmly, and continued: "I think you should be the people sent by His Highness the Third Prince!" After saying that, Gu Yuqing sneered a few times, "I didn't expect my life to be so valuable. Thanks to His Highness the Third Prince, he actually used the power of the world to deal with a weak female like me. If my guess is correct, you should be from Xiao Su's sect."

When Gu Yuqing hit the target word for word, the assassin immediately said: "How do you know we are the Xiao Su sect!"

Gu Yuqing lowered her eyes, glanced at the shoes on the assassin's feet, and sneered: "Except for the Xiao Su sect, there is probably no one else in the world who wears square-toed cloth shoes with green faces and gray soles like this."

"Miss Gu's family really lives up to her talent, but the woman in the inner house knows a thing or two about Jianghu. No wonder His Highness the Second Prince treats Miss Gu differently from other counselors. It's a pity..." The assassin's gaze was like the sharp knife in his hand. The knife slid across Gu Yuqing's face with a hint of regret, "It's a pity that you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow soon."

When his sinister voice fell, Gu Yuqing looked at her with a calm smile, "I'm afraid you are the one who can't see the sun."

After Gu Yuqing finished speaking, Ji Xiang happened to rush behind the assassin, raised his knife and killed him with one blow.

Just now, Gu Yuqing saw Jixiang breaking through the siege outside the courtyard, so he used words to hold him back, firstly to buy Jixiang time, and secondly to distract him so that he would not notice Jixiang's approach.

At this time, the assassins in the courtyard were almost beaten by Ruyi and the servants of the Gu family who came after hearing the news. Seeing that the leader in the house was dead, the remaining ones immediately did not dare to fight anymore and evacuated quickly.

However, by the time Gu Yuqing rushed to Lu Ju's side, Lu Ju had already suffered a heavy blow with her internal organs shattered and her breath gone.

Holding the cold corpses of Luju and Kumquat, Gu Yuqing was shocked and grief-stricken, and vowed to let the third prince Xiao Yi be buried with them.

If it weren't for Kumquat Lvju's loyalty and courage that delayed the time, Gu Yuqing might not have been able to wait for Jixiang to break out of the siege and come to the rescue.

Scenes from the past came to mind. Gu Yuqing's hand holding the tea cup had distinct joints. Under the shadow of the tree, the expression on his face was difficult to distinguish.
