famous eldest daughter

Chapter 47 Hitting a tree

Gu Yuqing looked at Madam Du coldly. As shrewd as she was, she could tell with just one glance that there was a grudge between Madam Du and Aunt Zhao that she didn't know about.

Could this grudge be related to those unprovoked questions Gu Yuhe asked Aunt Zhao back then?

Gu Yuqing's heart suddenly tightened.

Mrs. Du twisted her ten fingers back and forth, her lowered eyes drifted back and forth, and her heart became numb.

If she lies to answer this question of the eldest lady, it will be in vain. A capable person like the eldest lady will definitely see that she is lying.

But if the truth was told... Madam Du knew very well how horrifying the truth was, and she didn't dare to say even a single word. Once she said it, all her years of hard work would be in vain.

With no choice, Madam Du raised her eyes to look at Gu Yuqing in a panic, but she caught sight of the ancient paulownia tree beside Gu Yuqing that had grown for thousands of years. Her eyes flashed slightly, and Madam Du made a quick decision in her heart.

Taking a deep breath to steady her mind, Madam Du glanced at Ji Xiangruyi beside Gu Yuqing and said: "This slave is indeed very jealous of Aunt Zhao, so she kicked her body to vent her anger. It's just a grudge between this slave and Aunt Zhao." It involves some old things, so I ask the eldest miss to turn away from the left and right sides."

Gu Yuqing's left and right were only Ji Xiang Ruyi. Gu Yuqing looked at him and Ji Xiang Ruyi silently retreated to a place a few battles away.

"Can we say it now?" Gu Yuqing looked at Madam Du, her eyes almost glowing with heat.

Old things... What kind of old things need to be screened back to explain in detail. At this moment, Gu Yuqing was almost sure that what Madam Du was going to say was what she wanted to hear. She clenched her fists involuntarily. , hold your breath and concentrate.

Madam Du looked at Gu Yuqing, and suddenly a sad but firm smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Miss, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the madam. I'll go and apologize to the madam."

Madam Du's words came so suddenly that Gu Yuqing was shocked, but before she could react, Madam Du suddenly stood up and rushed toward her like the wind. Gu Yuqing was immediately frightened.

When Ji Xiangru, who was several feet away, saw this sudden change, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Miss!" He tiptoed towards Gu Yuqing, and then straight at Madam Du, with a cold light in his eyes, as if A dagger that shines in the night.

But just when Ji Xiang Ruyi was about to rush to Gu Yuqing, Madam Du suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the thousand-year-old tree beside Gu Yuqing, with a face full of determination.

"No, stop her quickly, she's going to commit suicide!" Gu Yuqing realized Mrs. Du's true intention and immediately blurted out, her face full of anxiety.

She said sorry, madam, why did she say sorry madam, what exactly did she do to her mother.

What kind of secret was Du Niangzi hiding that she would rather commit suicide than reveal it.

Gu Yuqing's heart felt as if it was being held on a flame, burning uncomfortably.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, before Jixiang Ruyi could lift her foot, there was a "bang", and Madam Du's head was covered with blood, and her body fell limply beside the ancient tree.

Even though he had lived for two generations, Gu Yuqing was still so shocked that he couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his mouth, his eyes wide open.After being stunned for a moment, he said: "Go and see if she can be saved."

While giving instructions, he raised his feet and walked towards Mrs. Du. When he got closer, he discovered that Mrs. Du's plain white face looked extremely peaceful, and there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Miss, I'm dead." Squatting halfway in front of Madam Du, Ruyi withdrew her hand touching the carotid artery of Madam Du's neck, and said to Gu Yuqing with her head up.

Gu Yuqing looked at Madam Du's body and felt a suffocation in her chest. She touched her chest with her hands, feeling stunned and out of breath.

There was a voice constantly hovering in her ears and in her heart, asking herself why Madam Du committed suicide.

Somewhere in the dark, Gu Yuqing was inexplicably certain that Madam Du's secret was not only related to Aunt Zhao, but also to Gu Yuhe.

When this idea came to mind, Gu Yuqing was immediately startled by herself, but the doubts in her heart became thicker and lingering.

What is the secret... Damn it!Gu Yuqing clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with thick fog, cold and distant, as if coming from the sea.

Although Mrs. Du's death shocked Gu Yuqing a lot, Gu Yuqing and Mrs. Du had very little interaction in the past, and there was no relationship at all. What's more, it was a pity that the secret was so close to her that they passed by her. Pass.

Taking a long breath and sighing slowly, Gu Yuqing ordered: "Jixiang, go check her room to see if there are any clues."

After Ji Xiang received the order, he glanced at Mrs. Du on the ground and followed the order.

When Jixiang was about to arrive, Gu Yuqing commanded Ruyi in a deep voice, "Take care of this place. Go tell Jinjue Luju and let them go back to the east courtyard first."

With that said, Gu Yuqing turned around and walked towards the house, no longer looking at Mrs. Du.

The blue sky was as clear as a mirror, and a golden sun had risen into the sky unknowingly. Under the scorching sun, Gu Yuqing's exposed neck felt a little hot from the sun, but waves of coolness hit her body.

Feeling uneasy, Gu Yuqing returned to the room and picked up the "Peacock March" and read it, hoping to calm down, but found that she could not read a word of it.

All I could think of was Mrs. Du's expression of relief and determination before she died, as well as her firm and sad voice.

The secret that Mrs. Du carries is like a cat with sharp claws that keeps scratching her heart.

Just when Gu Yuqing was upset, a high-pitched voice sounded.

"Hey, I asked you if you could do it. What a big deal it is. It's worth reading. I even knocked the book down."

No need to guess, Gu Yuqing knew that there was no one else but the piece of broken jade who spoke such naked ridicule.

Gu Yuqing was in a bad mood and didn't want to pay attention to him, but she couldn't help but follow Shenyu's voice and lowered her head to read the book in her hand.

Suddenly the three black lines on my forehead became thicker and slanted!

No wonder she couldn't read a word. She actually took the book down.

Gu Yuqing laughed, closed the book in her hand, threw it aside, glanced at the divine jade, and said angrily: "You have enough food and drink to be carefree, so naturally you don't know my difficulties. Do you think everyone is like this? You, you didn’t get up until now."

After hearing Gu Yuqing's voice, Shenyu immediately quit, "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. Who is sleeping and getting up now? I woke up when you were still asleep, and I also practiced a set of Wudang sect." It’s Tai Chi!”

Gu Yuqing suddenly felt bad... You, a broken jade, told me that you were practicing Tai Chi...

Isn’t the picture a bit too weird?

However, she was in no mood to argue with this chatty jade at the moment. If she said a word of doubt, this jade would definitely have a lot of words waiting for her.

Gu Yuqing even doubted whether this jade's magical power was for quarrels, or why he had such a venomous tongue.

Before the thoughts in his mind were finished, Shenyu shouted: "Don't insult me!"
