After being tortured to death, Hou Men’s legitimate daughter returns and goes crazy killing her

Chapter 23 Brother Is Sick

At the beginning of the lanterns, the stars and moonlight came, the lights in the capital were high, the streets were open, the streets and the streets were full of people.

In front of you is the lantern market. Looking around, thousands of bright lanterns are like the bright moon and stars floating on the Milky Way, blending like the sea.Accompanied by the fireworks that are constantly blooming in the sky, it is truly a fairyland like Yao Palace.

Gu Qingyuan and Yue Tao walked along the noisy borrowed road. Yue Tao was almost clinging to Gu Qingyuan, for fear that she would get lost. He was so focused on her that he didn't even bother to watch the fireworks.

"Yue Tao, there is a snack vendor in front, let's go buy some too." Gu Qingyuan looked at what was fresh.

The two of them walked back and forth, and soon Yuetao had baggage of all sizes on her hands.

"Miss, please slow down!"

Not long after, Gu Qingyuan was selecting lanterns at a stall when she suddenly felt someone bump into her behind her. She turned around and met the person's eyes.

"Hey, Miss Pei?"

Behind Pei Yijun was a young maid, holding a lantern in one hand and a candied haws in the other.

When Gu Qingyuan greeted her, she was busy stuffing candied haws in her mouth, her cheeks bulging: "Sister!" she grinned at Gu Qingyuan.

Although Gu Qingyuan was veiled at the moment, Pei Yijin still recognized her at a glance. After all, her eyes were unforgettable.

"Eat slowly." Gu Qingyuan casually touched Pei Yiyi's face, like a little rabbit.

Yuetao discovered that every time her young lady met Miss Pei, she seemed to have withdrawn her sharp edge, like a caring elder sister who loved her younger sister.

Pei Yiyi nodded obediently, handed the lantern to Meng'er behind him, and then took a bunch of candied haws and handed it to Gu Qingyuan: "Sister, eat it."

Gu Qingyuan took it with a slight smile. Only then did she realize that Meng'er had actually carried a whole candied haws on her back. She had bought them all.

"If you eat less, you will lose your teeth."

Pei Yiyi's eyes were filled with fear and he hurriedly covered his mouth, making several people laugh. It was so cute.

"Miss, it's time for us to go home," Meng'er reminded her from behind.

Pei Yijin's face fell, biting his lip, obviously not having enough fun, suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, he took a step forward and approached Gu Qingyuan: "Sister, let's go together."

She thought for a moment and nodded, but did not refuse. Pei Yijin's eyes turned into crescent moons, and he took the initiative to hold her hand and walked to the Hou Mansion.

"Where's your brother? Why didn't he come out with you?"

Speaking of Pei Qingci, Pei Yijin pouted and muttered: "Brother is bad and sick."

She still remembered that Pei Yijin had been detained by Pei Qingci since the last time, and was not allowed to step out of the Marquis Mansion. She was only allowed to move freely during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but she needed someone to follow her every step of the way.

"Sick?" Gu Qingyuan paused, then returned to normal: "Why are you sick?"

Pei Yijin shook her head, she didn't know either.

When she arrived at the Hou Mansion, Gu Qingyuan originally planned to drop someone off and go back, but she couldn't resist Pei Yijin's warm invitation. In addition, she also wanted to see why Pei Qingci was sick, so she just sent someone to deliver something.

The furnishings are all black, with twelve ivory-inlaid water screens, foggy yellow gauze curtains, a few sweet-scented osmanthus flowers beside the window lattice inlaid with colored glass, and a stacked rose chair in the southeast.

It's obvious that a lot of thought has gone into this arrangement.

Pei Yiyi excitedly took out various snacks and various gadgets to share with Gu Qingyuan.

She was also happy to play with Pei Yiyi. Nanny Liu and Meng'er looked at her with enthused eyes. There was a big difference between Miss Gu and the rumors.

In the past few years, many ladies from aristocratic families have taken the initiative to make friends with the ladies from her family. Pei Yiyi has a simple heart and treats them all as good friends. He will share any good things with them.But how many of these people are sincere, and they just want to use their young lady to get close to the Marquis.

"Mommy, I heard that Mr. Hou is ill, can you take me to have a look?"

"This..." Aunt Liu was a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyuan's eyes fell on Pei Yijin: "Yier, would you like to take your sister to see your brother?"

Pei Yijin pouted and nodded after a while.

After walking through the long corridor and reaching a courtyard, Pei Yijin stopped and refused to take another half step forward.

"What's wrong with Yi'er?"

Pei Yijin kicked the stones under his feet and said in a low voice: "Sister, go in. I don't want to see my brother. He is bad."

Aunt Liu came close to Gu Qingyuan and whispered: "Miss Gu, my young lady had a bad temper with the Marquis a few days ago, and she is having a hard time right now."

She understood and stroked Pei Yijin's hair with a smile on her face: "Then sister will go in first."

Gu Qingyuan raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Master Hou?" The lights were brightly lit inside, but after knocking several times, there was still no response.

Could it be that he fell asleep?

With this thought in mind, I turned around and left, but as soon as I left two books, the lights in the originally bright room were turned off and it became pitch black.

She looked back, her eyes full of doubts, what was going on?
He stayed there for a moment and was supposed to leave but couldn't lift his steps. Forget it, let's go over and take a look. Although this guy is a bit annoying, he is sick after all. What can he do if something goes wrong?

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyuan no longer hesitated and pushed the door open directly with his hands.

The room was very quiet, so quiet that you could even hear the sound of a pin falling on the ground, mixed with the faint smell of blood. Gu Qingyuan subconsciously clenched her hands, breathed softly, and touched her waist, then remembered I was in a hurry to go out, so I didn't bring the whip with me.

"Pei Qingci? Are you there?"

Her voice was particularly obvious in the dark room, and there was no response. Gu Qingyuan's heart suddenly picked up, and a feeling of worry surged into her heart. She plucked up the courage to continue walking inside.

Until the footsteps stopped in front of the inner room, for a long time, a muffled sound came. The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, and there was a sense of depression.

"Pei Qingci, is that you?"

Walking inside, I finally saw the scene in front of me clearly. The inner room was in a mess, chairs and tables were staggered, and various objects were broken on the ground.

The young man's dark hair was messy behind him. He was sitting on the ground with one leg bent, leaning against the big bed behind him. His black brocade robe seemed to be torn. In the weak moonlight, Gu Qingyuan could clearly see the lines on his chest. The intertwining scars are shocking.

The pair of peach blossom eyes that were originally seductive were now staring at her with a sinister expression, like a cheetah hunting in the jungle, making people panic for no reason.

Gu Qingyuan's heart trembled, but she didn't notice anything was wrong with Pei Qingci. She quickly stepped forward and knelt down and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you? I'll help you find the doctor."

Listening to her voice, Pei Qingci's eyes gradually focused, and his eyebrows moved. Just when she was about to stand up and leave, she exerted force on her hand, and Gu Qingyuan's whole body was pinned under him unable to move as the world spun.

"Pei Qingci, what are you doing! Let me go!" Gu Qingyuan had never been pressed down like this before, and she raised her hand and hit him in the face without thinking.

Unexpectedly, Pei Qingci reacted faster than she did. He clamped down on her hands, neatly pulled the belt beside the bed and tied her slender wrists, pressing them above her head.

The two suppressed each other and stared at each other closely, neither of them willing to give in. This posture also brought the two of them very close to each other, and their whole bodies were enveloped by the young man's aura.

"Let me go quickly!" Gu Qingyuan couldn't move and was extremely uncomfortable.
