Value peace

Chapter 191 The Devil's Moment ([-])

At dinner that day, Cui Shi didn't mean to call her at all, Fang Shaoqin also acted as if it was a matter of course, and Gu Xiyan certainly wouldn't insist on anything, after all, Cui Shi's views on Zhenniang are here, one can't do it right. , maybe even say something radical, it would be even more unpleasant...

Because we arrived at around three o'clock in the afternoon, we drove for half a day, and after dinner, everyone went back to their houses to rest.

Gu Xiyan went back to the house and went to see Hong Luan first.

Hongluan was falling asleep.

It was a bit hot in the back room, Zhenniang was sitting on the bedside fanning Hongluan, when she saw Gu Xiyan coming in, she hurriedly stood up.

Only then did Gu Xiyan realize that Zhenniang's eyes were red.

Presumably it was Cui's words that made her feel something.

Gu Xiyan smiled, made a silent gesture to her, then walked lightly to the bed and looked at Hongluan.

During these days, Hongluan basically had three meals normally, her little face was pink and tender, she was leaning sideways, her mouth was pouted, and Bai Shengsheng's little hands were resting on her face, and a few fine grains could be seen from the temples with blue veins. sweat.

The corners of Gu Xiyan's mouth turned up involuntarily, and she gently stroked Hongluan's shiny black hair.

Perhaps feeling something passing by, Hongluan waved her hand above her head without worrying, turned over, and went to sleep again.

Gu Xiyan laughed silently, nodded towards Zhenniang, then got up and went back to the room.

Unexpectedly, Zhenniang followed, and the two stood in the hallway talking.

"Young Madam, how rude you have been during this time, I still hope Haihan!" As she said, Zhenniang squatted down and gave Gu Xiyan a blessing.

Her movements are light and her posture is graceful, which is pleasing to the eye.

Gu Xiyan never thought that Zhenniang would choose such an opportunity to talk to her in such a way.

She said with a smile: "There was no enmity between you in the past, and there is no grievance in recent days. Even if there is a little disagreement, it's all because of Hongluan. You don't have to be polite, Zhenniang."

"Madam is so tolerant, it seems that I am petty." Zhenniang's eyes turned red, "There are some things, I didn't want to say too much, because I was afraid that Madam would misunderstand. Now it seems that Madam really treats Hongluan sincerely, what else do I have to say? Don't worry." After speaking, he gently wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

Seeing her pitiful look, Gu Xiyan didn't take it seriously, but out of politeness, she handed her a handkerchief: "If you have anything to say, just talk it out!"

Zhenniang took the veil, but tears fell down like raindrops: "I am an unknown person...but if others show a few faces, they wish that I would be grateful...But I am worse than anyone else, just Fate is just making fun of people... Although Hongluan is ignorant, she really needs me...I am willing to serve her... It turns out that two lonely people are supporting each other. In my heart, Hongluan, I'm closer than anyone else...I'm reluctant to leave her...I made up my mind to follow her all the time...Now, it's not my intention to embarrass the young lady like this. I'm thinking, master also I'll be back soon, and when the time comes, madam will mention to my master, I, I'd better go out of the house..." After finishing speaking, she began to cry bitterly.

Gu Xiyan sighed, and said: "Don't worry too much. To be honest, it's not a good sign that you dote on Hongluan like this... But it's not so troublesome that you have to leave the house. If everyone Just like you, if you feel wronged, you have to leave. What has become of the house? Since I brought you here, you can settle down for a while and have a good time for a few days... Everyone is tired today, so you go too have a rest!"

Zhenniang sobbed and bowed her knees to salute Gu Xiyan.

But looking at her big watery eyes, Gu Xiyan really couldn't soften her heart!

So she turned around and went to find Cui Shi.

The maid hurriedly said: "Young madam, it's hot, you rest, what's the matter, I'll call my wife to see you."

"How can I let your wife come to see me!" Gu Xiyan smiled, "Just lead me there!"

Even between sisters-in-law, they will be divided into ranks. In the Qi family, Gu Xiyan is undoubtedly at the top.But the more this is the case, the more you have to be low-key and respectful.Sometimes, getting along with others is just a matter of face...

The maid naturally didn't dare to make decisions on her own, so she carefully led Gu Xiyan to find Cui Shi.

They crossed several thresholds and stopped under the bamboo shed with rolling curtains.

In the open mansion not far away, several nuns stood respectfully with their hands down. Mrs. Cui was sitting on the teacher's chair and was saying something. Because it was far away, Gu Xiyan could only faintly hear: "...serving with all your heart... When the time comes, there will be no distinction between the old and the new... pack up your bed and let me get out of the house..."

But the servant girl knew that it was the wife of the family who was telling the nuns in charge that if the master in front of him had something unhappy in the garden, everyone would not be able to live in peace.

So she had a terrified expression on her face, and said lightly: "Young Madam, I, you don't need to pass on..."

Gu Xiyan saw that she was very nervous, so she showed a sweet smile, and said softly: "Your wife is lecturing...Why should I rush in so rashly, let me pass it on!"

The maid hesitated for a moment, then quickly stepped into the open mansion.

When Cui saw someone coming in, she stopped talking, looked up and saw Gu Xiyan who was standing far away under the shutter shed, she hurriedly got up: "Ninth brother and sister, you are still talking about this immoral courtesy to sister-in-law... come in quickly!"

There was a slight commotion among the nuns in the house.

Seeing Cui Shi coming out, Gu Xiyan immediately went up to greet her, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law has something to do, I really didn't come at the right time..."

Cui said with a smile: "People like us, what can we do... It's just a few instructions on housework!"

The two sat down in the room chatting and laughing, the nuns saluted Gu Xiyan and retreated, the maid beside Cui served tea to Gu Xiyan, Cui smiled and said: "My brothers and sisters are looking for me. , but what's the hurry?"

Gu Xiyan nodded, glanced at the maidservant behind Cui Shi, but remained silent.

Seeing this, Cui immediately made a gesture, and the servants in the room hurriedly retreated.

Only then did Gu Xiyan open her mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, let me ask you something!"

Cui hurriedly said: "Say it, say it, I know everything!"

Gu Xiyan pondered and said: "I heard from my sister-in-law that the Wang family and Zhenniang seem to have misunderstood, but do you know that the Wang family still takes care of Zhenniang's daily life?"

Cui was stunned and said, "Why did my brother and sister say that? But what did Zhenniang say in front of you?"

"No, no, no," Gu Xiyan hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, Zhenniang didn't say anything in front of me. I was overthinking myself. Speaking of which, Zhenniang's monthly payment is now paid by me. Yes, the amount is not small. Some time ago, Auntie Duan in my room raised her monthly bill, and I thought the Wang family...so she didn’t. If she broke ties with the Wang family, I thought, I would also follow Auntie Duan’s It's up to her to raise her reputation!"

This is of course an excuse.

Cui groaned for a while, and then said: "So there were. Later, the old lady went... I didn't ask any more questions!"

Gu Xiyan nodded, and said with a sense of shame: "Speaking of which, I was negligent!"

Hearing what Gu Xiyan said, Mrs. Cui felt a little relieved for her, and said with a smile: "You don't have to feel guilty... It turns out that Madam Ye received a lot of rewards when she was alive. Maybe it's better than you and me. There is more money in the private house!" After that, he covered his mouth and laughed.

Gu Xiyan also laughed.

No wonder he dared to raise the government.

If I really bring it up with Maosheng, I'm afraid someone will break my spine.

The daughter of a good family was entrusted by her deceased aunt to help take care of the sick girl. For this, she offended her husband's family and couldn't return home...but now she was driven out of the mansion for no reason... At that time, it was Cui Shi, who might have to mutter something to herself behind her back!

* * * * * *
The summer in Yandi is mild.

There is no glare of the sun, no hot air, even the wind blows, it is flat, gentle and soft.

Gu Xiyan liked it very much.

In the yard Cui arranged for her, a clump of bamboo was planted in the corner, and there was a gurgling stream bypassing it, the water was slow and crystal clear.Gardenia is helping Hongluan to play in the stream.

Gu Xiyan looked at the two small figures surrounded by nuns and maidservants from a distance, and couldn't help showing a gratified smile on her face.

Fang Shaoqin watched from the side, and said with a smile: "What method did my aunt use to make that Zhenniang calm down... A few aunts came over yesterday, and I took Zhenniang to drink with her. She said she wanted to take care of Hongluan. So it turns out that she likes Liyuan very much?" After she finished speaking, she looked at Gu Xiyan with doubtful eyes.

Gu Xiyan smiled, and said: "Is there any way...I'm afraid I feel a little uncomfortable after listening to my sister-in-law..."

Fang Shaoqin curled her lips: "I finally understand something!"

When the two were talking, they saw Zhenniang rushing over in a hurry. Hongluan saw Zhenniang from a distance, and showed a sweet smile, with her arms stretched wide, wanting to be hugged by Zhenniang.

Zhenniang smiled softly, and carried Hongluan out of the stream. The two heads intersected. Zhenniang whispered in Hongluan's ear. It's an indescribable joy.

Gu Xiyan sighed, and murmured: "I really raised a white-eyed wolf... and her father was printed in the same mold..."

When she first moved in, Hongluan was really scared, even if Gu Xiyan reduced her nourishment, she didn't even dare to lose her temper.Once, Zhenniang was pulled away by Fang Shaoqin, and Lei Momo and Zhizi were not around, so she actually leaned into Gu Xiyan's arms.

Gu Xiyan thought that their relationship would improve, but who knew, when Zhenniang came back, she fell into Zhenniang's arms again.

There is no way to support a family!

Gu Xiyan was overwhelmed by this feeling again.

So now, as long as Zhenniang doesn't interfere with her gradually reducing her anointing, she won't bother to care about those things.

Fang Shaoqin saw that Gu Xiyan was looking at Zhenniang and Hongluan with anger on her face, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing: "Auntie, I see, if you have this skill, you might as well give birth to one..."

Gu Xiyan turned her head and glared at Fang Shaoqin.

If you have the ability to make sarcastic remarks here, why don't you have the ability to give birth to one... These words slipped from his lips, but Gu Xiyan swallowed them down.

Fang Shaoqin seemed to want to

As if something happened, the cheerful smile gradually faded, revealing a blank look in his eyes.
