Dirty color

Chapter 97

After all, Aunt Cui is her niece, so she has to give her some face, and now that she is in charge of things, if she loses face by herself, it will not be good for her to establish prestige in front of her servants, so Cui still let the servants After going out, only Nanny Cui was left behind.

Aunt Cui knelt down on the ground, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and immediately burst into tears.

She cried: "Huiniang came to plead guilty to the old lady. It was because of Huiniang's carelessness that the old lady suffered these days with Huiniang. When Huiniang thought of this, she wished she could kill herself never mind."

Cui couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked: "What's the matter, crying like this, don't cry, talk well first."

Mrs. Cui still knew Aunt Cui, and knew that Aunt Cui was basically a duty, so what Aunt Cui said just now made Mrs. Cui very puzzled.

Aunt Cui reluctantly suppressed her tears, and repeated what Gu Mingxuan had taught her. She said, "I met the eldest lady today, and the eldest lady talked about promoting a few third-class girls in Tsinghua Garden to second-class. The little girl asked me to make up for the third-class vacancy, and I agreed. Not long after, Zhuang Nanny asked me to go over to discuss this matter, but I didn't know that I had just passed and before I spoke, Zhuang Nanny frowned and asked me When I came to her, I was puzzled at the time, but seeing Zhuang Nanny sent away all the servants in the house, even the eldest lady, I just felt uneasy."

"I don't know, in the end Nanny Zhuang taught me a lesson and said..." Aunt Cui was ashamed, embarrassed and annoyed, and after crying twice, she continued, "Nurse Zhuang said, it is I am anxious to have an heir, so I shouldn't use such a nasty medicine, I will harm myself and Lord Hou..."

Cui Shi was still confused at first, but after hearing these words, she couldn't help but look serious, and her gaze lost the original kindness, like a tiger that has been awakened exuded its aura.

Aunt Cui felt a little scared when she saw Cui Shi like this, but she was playing the role of a victim at the moment, and compared to what the eldest lady said before, the way the three of them discussed was more appropriate. After all, what the old lady valued most was It's time for Lord Hou. If someone wants to harm Lord Hou, the old lady will definitely be the first to refuse.

The old lady will definitely investigate strictly.

"What's the matter?" Cui also grew up in the back house, how could she not know about those secrets, and after hearing Aunt Cui's words, she would know what Nanny Zhuang said was the nasty medicine. .

After all, it is those things, although the name is different, but the effect is the same, and it will eventually destroy the body of the male in the family, and in serious cases, the body will be hollowed out and died.

The color is a bone-scraping steel knife, this is not true at all.

Aunt Cui glanced at Mrs. Cui quietly, and under Mrs. Cui's questioning, she continued to cry: "When Nanny Zhuang said this, Hui Niang was dumbfounded at the time, and hurriedly asked Nanny Zhuang what was going on. She said that Huiniang had the smell of Lieyang powder on her body. Although it was very faint, it was there. This is not a good medicine, so Hui Niang was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked Nanny Zhuang for advice, and Nanny Zhuang told me what the medicine was..."

Cui Shi's complexion changed drastically after hearing you feel the word "Lieyang San"!
What Lieyang powder is, Cui Shi knows very well.

Hearing that Aunt Cui said that she smelled of Lieyang San, Cui was also very angry. If she had the ability of Nanny Zhuang to smell the smell of Aunt Cui, maybe she would be like Nanny Zhuang Rebuke Aunt Cui.

But now, although Mrs. Cui was very angry, she didn't think about Aunt Cui's words for the time being, and just listened to Aunt Cui's crying with a sullen face.

"Auntie, Hui Niang is the daughter of an innocent family. Although the family has fallen, she is also the daughter of a good family who grew up well. Otherwise, no matter how much Auntie loves Hui Niang, she will not let Hui Niang enter the house. Come to serve Master Hou, Hui Niang doesn't know anything about these lowly things, but someone uses these things to harm Hui Niang, if it's not that Madam Zhuang is a seasoned person, wait until someone finds out about it one day It is a small matter that Huiniang has to apologize with death, but it is a big thing that hurts the body of Lord Hou and ruins the family reputation of Shun'an Houfu. At that time, even if Huiniang dies, it is difficult To wash away the grievances on my body, I didn't have to anger my aunt's body..."

At this moment, Aunt Cui started to play the emotional card again, and she brought up the fact that she was the niece of the Cui family. He will not hesitate to die to maintain the reputation of the Marquis of Shun'an.

Cui's complexion was so gloomy that water dripped down, she waved to Aunt Cui and let her come over, Aunt Cui knelt and moved to Cui's side while crying, Cui patted Aunt Cui's hand and said: "Good boy, I have wronged you."

Aunt Cui leaned her face on Cui Shi's lap, whimpering and said: "Auntie, Nanny Zhuang said that this Lieyang San has another function of refreshing you, just like drinking strong tea when you are sleepy. I was able to wake up for a while, but after the effect passed, it also hurt my body. After Hui Niang heard that it still had this effect, she suddenly remembered the thing about my aunt who couldn't sleep well a few days ago..."

Just now, Cui was only thinking about who was so daring to use such a nasty drug to harm her son in the mansion. Now she heard what Aunt Cui said, and she couldn't help being stunned. She just thought about Another function of Lieyang Powder, I forgot that Lieyang Powder can refresh the mind.

In fact, this Lieyang powder can refresh your mind, and it is also to make both parties in the intercourse more sober and enjoy the fun. The culprit for poor sleep?

"It's all Huiniang's fault. I wanted to serve my aunt, but in the end I was so tired that my aunt suffered. You should punish Huiniang." Aunt Cui saw Cui's face was weird, but it didn't look like she was angry with herself. He wept again and said something.

Mrs. Cui was brought back to her sanity by Aunt Cui's crying, and she patted Aunt Cui's hand. Mrs. Cui signaled for Aunt Cui to ask someone to fetch water to wash Aunt Cui's face, while she comforted Aunt Cui with a few words. It's "Auntie must believe you", "Huiniang is naturally a good girl", "definitely investigate and find out, so that the wicked will not be proud", etc. Aunt Cui finally shed her tears and expressed her loyalty to Mrs. Cui, and won again. After a few words of comfort from Cui Shi, she cleaned her face again and retreated.

Before going out, Mrs. Cui said to Aunt Cui: "Don't say anything about this matter for now, and don't make any noise on your side. For the sake of Lord Hou, you will suffer for another two days. When you find out the villain, Auntie will make up for you."

This is to tell Aunt Cui not to startle the snake, and pretend that she doesn't know anything for the time being, and wait until she finds out who is behind the scenes.

Aunt Cui obediently agreed.

When Aunt Cui left, Cui's expression was still extremely gloomy.

She believes that Aunt Cui is innocent. On the one hand, it is because Aunt Cui is right, she is indeed a child of an innocent family. The Cui family has fallen in the family, and the education is still good; and the people around Aunt Cui , It was all given by Mrs. Cui. Aunt Cui does ordinary things. They will not tell Mrs. Cui. It's not that Aunt Cui made a big mistake. Generally, Aunt Cui's servants are mainly Aunt Cui, but once Aunt Cui does something out of the ordinary, those servants will definitely tell Mrs. Cui.

So Cui believes that Aunt Cui is absolutely incapable of getting this kind of dirty medicine by herself, and she has used it quietly for so long.

The third is that if her old lady is not good, Aunt Cui will lose her biggest backer in the Marquis of Shun'an Mansion, and it will not do her any good, so Aunt Cui wants to invite, spoil, and absolutely impossible At the expense of making one's own body ill.

Cui believes that Aunt Cui is definitely one of the people who hope that she will live as long as possible.

Combining the above three points, Cui feels that what Aunt Cui said just now is eight to nine out of ten true. As for what she said to apologize with death, just listen to it.

With a sullen face, Cui ordered a few words to Nanny Cui, asking her to keep a close eye on her Rong'an Hall and Aunt Cui's Jade Hairpin Garden, to see who was suspicious, and since the clothes smelled, she also had to look at them. Who is in charge of Aunt Cui's clothes, we have to keep an eye on it.

After Mammy Cui went down and made arrangements, she returned to the house with a serious expression on her face.

"Look at you, just wait when things are arranged, don't let these disgusting things spoil your mood." Cui Shi can think about it, comforting Madam Cui like this, after all, if you keep this matter in your heart, you will be the one who is tired .

Nanny Cui hesitated to speak, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "When the servant girl went out just now, I heard the servant girl talking about it, saying that it was Qinghan just now, and she tried to come over to find out about Aunt Cui..."

It's not that Nanny Cui is sensitive, but at this moment, Nanny Cui couldn't help thinking about Qinghan's behavior.

Cui's eyes changed slightly.

Nanny Cui sighed, but didn't tell Mrs. Cui that she had already sent someone to watch Qinghan. If it was really Qinghan who played tricks, wouldn't it mean that the third lady did this?
Third Miss... Cui Mama smiled wryly in her heart, if it was really Third Miss, the old lady would be so sad in her heart.

What Mammy Cui could think of, Cui Shi could naturally think of, her complexion changed slightly, and after a while, Cui Shi pondered and didn't speak.

The day after tomorrow will be the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, so I have to finish the matter of getting married to the Yang family first, and then talk about this matter, for the time being, let's just keep an eye on it.

……

On the eighth day of June, the weather was clear and clear with a gentle breeze.

Prime Minister Yang's wife wants to recognize her as a daughter, not just talking about it, but even opening an ancestral hall and writing it under the name of Mrs. Yang's Qiu family. This is a very grand event.

Prior to this, Gu Mingxuan had already formally met Prime Minister Yang. Although he did not claim to be his adoptive father, Prime Minister Yang was obviously happy with this matter, or even if he was not happy with it, he couldn't hurt Shun. Because of the face of the Anhou Mansion, Gu Mingxuan was given extra face.

But after all, they are not biological father and daughter, and there is not much communication between the two, as long as it is maintained on the surface.

On the day of the eighth day of the lunar new year, the Yang Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons. Although there were not many people entertained, the weight was not light.

Gu Mingxuan arrived at the Yang Mansion early. After dressing up, she didn't need her to greet the guests. She just talked with Mrs. Yang first, and then the invited people arrived one after another. The male guests naturally went to the front yard. Say hello to Master Yang Si, while the female relatives first came to see Mrs. Yang, and then the girls were taken to the flower hall to play, and those who were married stayed in the main hall to talk with Mrs. Yang.

Gu Mingxuan is undoubtedly the focus of today!
Many people who were once married to Gu Mingxuan were incomparably surprised when they saw Gu Mingxuan, who was standing next to Mrs. Yang, with a gentle smile and a dignified manner.

Isn't it... ugly, stupid and rude... I still remember that the gold hairpin on the other end is afraid that others will not know that she has many gold hairpins; the red and green all over her body are afraid that others will not see how stupid she is...

Look now, she is wearing a royal blue dress, with only a few warm hostas on her head, and two bead flowers dotted on her head. She wears thin powder and makeup, has a gentle smile, dignified demeanor, and looks graceful. As long as you don’t look at the black scar on her forehead Well, it's exactly the style of a well-educated, wealthy lady with a prominent family background.

Are those rumors true? It is said that after Miss Gu returned to the mansion, the concubine's step-wife hated the eldest lady who was born in the first place, so not only let the servants abuse her, but also did not teach her well, and even deliberately misled the eldest lady , let the eldest miss do something wrong... It wasn't until Nanny Zhuang brought the Shun'an Hou Mansion and began to teach Miss Gu, that she realized that Miss Gu was actually extremely intelligent, just like the Princess Huaqing back then.

Of course, no matter how surprised they were in their hearts, they would not show it on their faces. They just smiled and greeted Mrs. Yang, and praised Gu Mingxuan for a while. Talking, not long after, a lady couldn't help but said: "I really don't know how Nanny Zhuang manages people, my third girl, every day is in good shape, if I can be taught by Nanny Zhuang, it will be fine." I'm satisfied with Miss Gu's stability."

Gu Mingxuan's face was full of smiles, and she was slightly shy. Facing what this lady said, she didn't say a word. She knew that as long as she put on a steady and generous attitude today, people could see a different version of herself. It will be enough.

Talking too much is not good.

The other wives took this lady's words and began to talk about Nanny Zhuang. Nanny Zhuang was also there, chatting happily with them. Gu Mingxuan just stood quietly, neither arrogant nor rash, calm and steady. Muttering——

Miss Gu seems to be a good person, back then...

Forget it, after all, how can a stepmother treat her first spouse's child sincerely...

In many people's minds, they thought about this matter again. They disdain He Shi even more, and feel sympathy for Gu Mingxuan. He is a good boy. Unfortunately, he didn't understand anything when he first came back. Shengsheng was murdered by his stepmother.

Then many people thought of some recent events in the Marquis of Shun'an—it is said that Mrs. He of the Marquis of Shun'an was ill at first, and now she is getting sicker. Miss Si is also in poor health, and everyone is not a fool. It's tricky.

Mrs. He has always been in good health. When did I hear that there was an old illness? It is said that he tried to poison Miss Gu and was locked up by the angry Marquis Shun'an, so he got sick.

As for the fact that Mrs. He was locked up first, and then the poisoning happened... Anyway, in the hearts of these ladies, it was Mrs. He who poisoned first, and then was locked up!
Sure enough, he came from a small family, so he can't get on the stage, hmph, he was raised by a concubine's room, short-sighted!

People sympathize with the weak, not to mention that the He family is still a concubine. In the eyes of those who are married and become the wife of the wife, a restless concubine like the He family is the most disgusting. Comparing the two, Gu Mingxuan Even more beautified by them.

So from time to time, someone pulls Gu Mingxuan to say a few words to comfort her. Gu Mingxuan always smiles gratefully. Sometimes when someone mentions Princess Huaqing, Gu Mingxuan's eyes will turn slightly red, and she blames herself for not being filial to her mother. By the way, Gu Mingxuan also said a few good words to Gu Yuwen. The words were all about her gratitude to Gu Yuwen, saying that she was grateful for Gu Yuwen's mother Cheng Huan kissing her knees, and so on...

When those wives heard Gu Mingxuan's filial piety, they also knew the kindness, and then they thought about what they had heard, the first time Miss Gu saw the adopted daughter, she knelt down and kowtowed to the adopted daughter...

I think Gu Mingxuan is really nice.

Zhuang Momo and Gu Mingxuan listened to the compliments of these ladies, although they knew that there was water in it, but at least it proved that the first appearance today after three months was indeed a reversal of the bad impression she had left in the past. .

Of course, Gu Mingxuan also knows that Commander Tao also has a lot of credit for achieving such an effect—Nurse Zhuang asked Commander Tao to secretly spread some rumors about "the concubine's superior stepmother in the Marquis of Shun'an's mansion persecutes the first wife to go out to the big family." The news about "Miss" is true and false. I have heard a lot of it. Those ladies have long had some sympathy for Gu Mingxuan.

The stunning appearance at this moment made people's impression of Gu Mingxuan suddenly reversed.

When it was busy, the servant girl told the rumor that Mrs. Chang Xinbo had arrived.

Now the marriage between the son of Uncle Changxin and Gu Mingxuan has not been withdrawn, and the residence of Uncle Changxin is somewhat respectable anyway, especially Mrs. Uncle Changxin’s brother is very useful now, so among the guests who came today, there are naturally some Changxinbo Mansion.

Mrs. Changxin was led in by the Fourth Mrs. Yang, and after paying respects to Mrs. Yang, Gu Mingxuan stepped forward gracefully, bowed her knees, and said hello to Mrs. Changxin: "I have met Madam, please greet Madam."

Madam Changxin looked at Gu Mingxuan in a daze——Zhao Zongyuan was her remaining son after she was pregnant in October, and she was also the only son. That was her heart and soul. At that time, she heard that the eldest lady of the Gu family who was engaged to her son was found. When she came here, Mrs. Chang Xin wanted to divorce very much. She lost ten years and grew up in the countryside!
Just these eight words made Mrs. Changxin so disgusted that she wanted to vomit!

It is said that the untouchables in the countryside, men and women live in the same room!
It is said that some live in pigpens!

Eat the same food as pigs!

My God, only lowly pariahs would eat such filthy creatures. For nobles like them, eating venison can show their status.

But Uncle Changxin refused. He warned Mrs. Uncle Changxin: "If you dare to mess around, go back to your mother's house. Uncle Changxin's mansion can't afford you."

He even threatened to divorce her!

Mrs. Chang Xin counted all of this account on Gu Mingxuan. If she didn't come back, how could her husband lose face like this?

Do you think she will let it go?Then she is not Tang Xuefeng!
She wanted to divorce, and He wanted to abuse Gu Mingxuan, and the two hit it off immediately. Unexpectedly, in the end, her son went to divorce. What was supposed to be a sure thing failed, and his son was beaten for a while and imprisoned for three months!
Madam Changxin was so angry that she really hated Gu Mingxuan.

Seeing that Gu Mingxuan really behaved like a rich lady today, Mrs. Chang Xin felt disgusted for a while, what kind of pretense is she, she grew up in the countryside and sleeps in a pigsty!
Why not die in the countryside!
She was unhappy, so she didn't even bother to pretend. When Gu Mingxuan stepped forward, she immediately stepped back a step or two, looked at Gu Mingxuan as if looking at something dirty, her eyes were cold and disgusted, and she looked Gu Mingxuan up and down. It didn't care about Gu Mingxuan's state of still saluting.

"Get up." Mrs. Chang Xin endured it, feeling that such a noble daughter from a well-born family should not lose her manners, so she said coldly to Gu Mingxuan, and then sat down beside Mrs. Yang, Talk to Mrs. Yang.

Gu Mingxuan's eyes were slightly red, but she still tried her best to smile dignifiedly without losing her manners, letting everyone know that she was wronged, but respecting her behavior that she was not petty even if she was wronged.

In fact, Gu Mingxuan couldn't help laughing from the bottom of her heart. Mrs. Changxin is really used to going smoothly. She can't learn to hide her temperament wherever she goes. She can come as she pleases. I don't know how many people I have offended. Changxinbo said Such a lady must be quite tired.

Grandma Zhuang looked at Mrs. Changxin's appearance, her eyes were filled with anger, but on her face, she was very proud of Mrs. Yang and didn't say anything.

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qiu both regretted inviting Mrs. Chang Xinbo, but Mrs. Chang Xin was Gu Mingxuan's nominal mother-in-law, so it would be unreasonable not to invite her.

Up to now, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qiu both felt that it would be better for Gu Mingxuan if they could cancel this marriage. Sincerely, no one wants to serve a woman like Mrs. Chang Xinbo.

Do you think you are a princess?
The princess didn't do it like she did.

Mrs. Changxin never said a word to Gu Mingxuan after she arrived at the Yang Mansion until the auspicious time came, when she needed Gu Mingxuan and Mrs. Yang to salute, and she didn't even give Gu Mingxuan a look.

As for the meeting ceremony?
Just a joke, in the eyes of Mrs. Changxin, spitting on her own is more noble than such a pariah.
