Value peace

Chapter 227
Gu Xiyan thought of Guan Han's crying last night, and couldn't help laughing, "I'm not used to it."

Mrs. Zhou nodded understandingly, and said, "I'll go and greet Mrs. Wei. If the young lady is not in a hurry, can you wait for me for a while...I want to go and see the child."

Of course Gu Xiyan couldn't refuse.

She only waited for a while outside the gate of Huaiyuan, and Mrs. Zhou came out. She told the people around her: "You all go to the second gate and wait. I will come to Liyuan to see Guan Han!"

The maids and maids brought by Mrs. Zhou saluted Gu Xiyan respectfully, and then filed away under the leadership of a nun.

Mrs. Zhou and Gu Xiyan walked side by side: "Although I often visit Mrs. Wei, I am in a hurry every time. Speaking of which, I haven't had a good look at this yard for more than ten years. If you are interested, Mrs. Wei, why not Walk with me?"

When official Han entered the mansion, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wei had all expressed their views and opinions. After all, it was Mrs. Zhou's turn to speak.

Gu Xiyan heard the sound and knew Ya, and told Yan Hong beside her: "Go and tell Miss Duan that I will accompany Mrs. Zhou in Gongshunyuan!"

Yan Hong responded and left.

The people around Gu Xiyan followed from a distance, and the two of them walked in the criss-cross corridors of Gongshun Courtyard like a leisurely stroll.

Mrs. Zhou pointed to the northwest corner: "There is the banyan garden."

It was also the place where Mrs. Zhou had been imprisoned for more than ten years.

Gu Xiyan pretended not to know that she had followed Mrs. Zhou's hand, nodded with a smile, and then pretended to be listening carefully.

Madam Zhou looked at Gu Xiyan's appearance, smiled slightly, and pointed to the northeast corner: "Over there is Osmanthus Garden."

A modest smile appeared on Gu Xiyan's face, and she nodded.

"Although I have lived in Banyan Garden for more than ten years, I am more familiar with Guiyuan."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Gu Xiyan with a smile, and said calmly.

Gu Xiyan was shocked inwardly, but she tried her best to maintain a decent smile on her face: "Madam has a gentle temperament, so she must be quite close to each garden!"

Acting and speaking are really impeccable!

Mrs. Zhou looked at the woman in front of her who looked respectful and humble, but her eyes were faintly flickering, she was in a trance for a moment.

Maosheng, I like her very much... Father and son are alike, the Duke also likes flying girls, Fansheng also...

Thinking of this, Aunt Shui's charming and charming face like a begonia flower suddenly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help shivering, remembering her purpose of seeing Gu Xiyan.

A forced smile appeared on Madam Zhou's face, and she led Gu Xiyan towards the northeast corner.

"That's right," Mrs. Zhou said indifferently, "I am very familiar with longan, that's because I grew up in Guiyuan when I was young."

Gu Xiyan was slightly taken aback.

Mrs. Zhou was originally the girl in charge of Maosheng's grandmother. She had heard of it, but it was the first time that Mrs. Zhou grew up in Guiyuan.

"At that time, it was Mrs. Li who lived in Guiyuan." Mrs. Zhou glanced at Gu Xiyan and said, "In the eyes of others, she is a very strange woman. Although Maosheng's grandfather took the house, but She has always had no name, no title, and no heirs. After the death of Maosheng's grandfather, she did not move to live in Xianjiyuan, but has been living in Guiyuan."

What is Mrs. Zhou trying to say?
Gu Xiyan listened patiently.

"When I entered the mansion, I was only six years old, and I was assigned to be a rough envoy in Guiyuan. At that time, there were only two rough envoys in Guiyuan, two rough envoys, and two big maids. The population was very simple. , is also very frugal, even a little crude. But Mrs. Li goes to bed early and gets up early every day, reads and plays the piano, grows flowers and raises birds, acts calmly, looks indifferent, and is also very kind to us little girls. Tell us how to read and write, and tell us some principles of life." At this point, Mrs. Zhou showed a childlike smile on her face, "Although life is plain, it makes people feel warm, happy and satisfied."

Turning the corner, the gate of Guiyuan is in front of you.

Madam Zhou stopped in a daze.

"Until one day, Aunt Wang who lives in Xianjiyuan suddenly appeared in Guiyuan."

At that time, Aunt Wang was already terminally ill, and she was hanging on the ginseng fruit every day. Because of this, she specially allowed the fifth master who had already opened a mansion to come in to treat her illness.

She was helped into the door by the nuns, and begged Mrs. Li hard, saying that she wanted to have a conversation with her alone.

Mrs. Li said, I can't understand what Aunt Wang said!
Although her tone is gentle and her words are tactful, her attitude is very firm. As soon as everyone hears it, they know that she is not willing to say anything more to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang suddenly knelt down in front of Mrs. Li and said, I am dying soon, and I just hope that I will understand when I die.That night, why did I suddenly fall asleep on my sister's bed..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhou looked at Gu Xiyan with a sarcastic and sad expression: "That Aunt Wang, and Mrs. Wang, the wife of Maosheng's grandfather, is a direct sister..."

Although Gu Xiyan already had a premonition in her heart, knowing that what Mrs. Zhou said would not be as simple as it appeared on the surface, she still couldn't help being a little surprised when she heard this sentence.

Mrs. Zhou looked at the surprise on Gu Xiyan's face, smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Besides, there has always been a rumor in the mansion that the masters in the mansion were not born by Mrs. Wang at all, but It was a maidservant surnamed Li next to Mrs. Wang, who was born to the Li family who lived in Guiyuan, and was only raised by her at her knees...

So when Aunt Wang said this, everyone in the room panicked.

The nanny next to Aunt Wang drove us all out... I was young at the time, and I didn't know how powerful it was. I just thought that this room was full of Aunt Wang's people. If something happened, wouldn't Mrs. Lost.

So I quietly ran to the back of the main house in Guiyuan, climbed up a locust tree facing the rear window, and peeped at the people inside talking.

I saw Mrs. Li sitting on the embroidered pier, looking at Aunt Wang coldly, and Aunt Wang was kneeling on the ground crying bitterly, shouting, the former people are gone, and your son has also inherited the title. There is nothing to worry about, I just want to die and understand... At that time, I was already engaged, and I just came to see my sister before getting married, why did I suddenly sleep on my brother-in-law's bed, and with my brother-in-law... He is older than me Almost 20 years old, let alone my brother-in-law, no matter how shameless I am, I will never do such a thing... Just tell me the truth, when I go underground, I can see my sister in a dignified way she...

But no matter how Aunt Wang begged, Mrs. Li just kept silent.

Not long after, Maosheng's father came suddenly, and he called someone to carry Aunt Wang, who was paralyzed on the ground, back to Xianji Courtyard, then slapped Li severely, and said that if his father hadn't died before his death, If you want me to take good care of you, I would have sent you to the Taoist temple a long time ago, and I would have allowed you to bewitch the crowd here and disturb the peace of the family.

Mrs. Li, who had a dull expression at first, heard Maosheng's father's words, her dull eyes suddenly came alive, emitting bright and bright jewel-like rays of light. She pulled Maosheng's father's sleeve and repeatedly asked, "Your father is dying?" I asked you to take good care of me before, isn't it true?Is it true?

Maosheng's father seemed to think of something, and suddenly his face changed drastically.He looked at Mrs. Li in horror, and stammered, you, you can't really be my biological mother! "

Mrs. Zhou's expression was rich, her tone was vivid, and she narrated vividly, bringing Gu Xiyan into that tense atmosphere.

"Miss Li suddenly covered her face and wept.

Maosheng's father stood there in a daze, staring blankly at Li who was crying in front of him.

After a long time, Mrs. Li stopped talking, looked up at Maosheng's father, and said, "You don't have to think about it, let me tell you the truth, you have five brothers, you, the second and the third were born by me, and the fourth It was born by Mrs. Wang, and the fifth child was born by Aunt Wang.

The corner of Maosheng's father's mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Mrs. Li glanced at Maosheng's father, and said coldly, Mrs. Wang promised me that as long as I didn't recognize her son, she would treat you as her own sons... But later, when she gave birth to the fourth child, she only wanted to Let the fourth Chengjue, others don't know how she treats you, don't you know...Since she is unkind, I don't need to talk about friendship. I took advantage of her sister's visit and made a way to let her The sister-in-law slept in her brother-in-law's bed and became pregnant. In a fit of anger, she fell ill...and died not long after...

Maosheng's father was pale.Standing for a long time, turned around and left..."

Mrs. Zhou leaned lightly on the broken gate of Guiyuan Garden, and murmured: "I thought I heard the most secret thing in the world, and I spent a few days in panic all day long. Who knows, Maosheng's father But I asked Xizhao for a seal, and Li Shi suddenly became the wife of the Duke of Yan... I, too, became the girl in charge beside the wife... Even so, in my eyes, Mrs. Li is But I am no longer the generous and amiable master I used to be... I worked tremblingly in front of her, and only hoped that one day I could marry early... But I never thought that one day, I would be selected and become the Duke of the country. Aunt..."

Looking at Mrs. Zhou who was full of pain, Gu Xiyan hesitated to speak.

"At that time, Mrs. Wei had already given birth to her third child. Aunt Gao said that her body could no longer bear the torment, so Mrs. Tai called the Duke to discuss the matter of taking a concubine... Not long after, A maid surnamed Shui next to Mrs. Wei and I were promoted to be aunts together... I don’t know how Aunt Shui came back, but since I became the aunt of the Duke, I only stayed alone with the Duke for one night. No, less than one night, less than two hours..."

Gu Xiyan looked at Mrs. Zhou in surprise, but thought of Mrs. Wei's idea of ​​giving Maosheng an excuse to have a child.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Gu Xiyan quietly.

"I don't know what I did wrong, which made him unwilling to look at me again... For a while, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, until one day, Aunt Gao told me that I was pregnant... I was so happy , I thought that he would come to see me. But this joy did not last for a few days, Madam Xu told me that Madam Wei and Aunt Shui were pregnant with me..."

"I faintly feel that something is wrong with this situation, but I can't tell what's wrong."

(Sisters, I have been participating in the training organized by my unit this week. I can’t even touch the computer during the day. I can only write articles at night. I have been hoping for a miracle—dual updates like the usual weekend, but I couldn’t do it in the end. Now, please forgive me! Because I still have to take the exam on Monday, this weekend can only be updated every day like a long, long time ago!)
