Chapter 22: Seeking
Li Zhongxuan's eyes were a little darker than just now, and Shen Qiaoan was silent, so he stopped speaking.
There is no longer a half-birthday atmosphere in the front hall. Gu Congsheng wrinkled his eyebrows and stood in front of everyone with his hands in his hands. The incident happened suddenly, and Ji Qingliu and Old Madam Gu were involved in a row, and now they had to wait for Old Madam Gu to wake up before dealing with it.
Shen Qiaoan remembered her previous life, and it was also like this, but the protagonist at that time was not Ji Qingliu but herself. The first thing the Marquis of Jingshun Mansion did was to take her down at the instigation of Ji Qingliu, although Gu Congsheng had some thoughts about her at that time, but in front of Old Madam Gu, he didn't say anything about it.
But right now, the same thing as in the previous life, but with a different person, everything that happened is different. It's just because she, Ji Qingliu is different from Shen Qiao'an.
Shen Qiao'an was silent for a while, then turned his head and crashed into a pair of unpredictable eyes. After concentrating, she hooked the corners of her lips, made an extremely faint smile, and said softly: "How does Gongzi Li know that I am harming the fourth sister?"
In the past, she did things regardless of the overall situation, just to satisfy her own selfish desires, and she did everything. If I don't do it today, I'm afraid I'm the one who will have an accident. ”
Shen Qiaoan said again: "I am an orphan girl, but I am not as strong as the fourth sister's family background. If it were me, I would still be taken away without her good treatment. I'm just treating others the way I am, but Li Gongzi wants to hold grievances for the fourth sister?"
How did Old Madam Gu faint, Li Zhongxuan could see it very clearly below.
When the two tables were brought up by the subordinates, they were put together, and everyone was so busy taking care of the old lady that they didn't see Shen Qiaoan approaching the two tables and reaching out to quietly change the paint on the table.
Therefore, the paint that caused Old Madam Gu to have an accident should have been placed on Shen Qiaoan's table.
Things are not as simple as Li Zhongxuan just thought. If Shen Qiao'an used it, it would really be the same as she said, the Marquis of Jingshun Mansion and everyone present would never let this matter be easy and kind, and what awaited Shen Qiao'an at that time would only be a more cruel result.
Li Zhongxuan said: "It's me who is stupid."
As soon as he raised his eyes, there was no figure of Shen Qiaoan beside him.
The birthday feast was forced to end early. An acquaintance came up to talk to Li Zhongxuan and asked if he would go to the wine shop in the east of the city to get together.
Most of the several liquor stores in Yanjing are occupied by them, and today Li Zhongxuan is abnormal.
He shook his head at the person in front of him, "I need to go back to the house early today, and we'll meet again next time." ”
In fact, he had nothing to do when he returned home, and after meeting Shen Qiao'an today, those wine shops would not have any effect on him. is obviously such a small girl, but her words and actions give him a mature and steady image.
Li Zhongxuan thought about it and found that Shen Qiaoan was only two out of ten years old this year. The woman in Yanjing married early, maybe in a few years, she will also go out of the cabinet to get married.
She has a stunning face, and there will be no shortage of people coming to her door in the future.
…………
Originally, it was scheduled to return to the Changning Marquis Mansion after the birthday banquet, and as soon as Mrs. Gu had an accident, everyone had to stay and take care of Mrs. Gu.
After all, the Gu family is a married daughter, and as soon as Ji Qingliu's matter came out, it was the entire Jingshun Marquis Mansion that was embarrassed.
In the side courtyard of the Marquis of Changning's mansion, Gu listened to the words of his eldest daughter Ji Qiaohui, and his face immediately sank to the extreme.
Ji Qingliu's face was crying, and the pear blossoms brought rain, and knelt in the middle of the courtyard with a soft body. Gu sat in front of Ji Qingliu, and behind him stood Ji Qiaohui and Gu Congsheng. Shen Qiaoan only stood alone, and all the subordinates in the side courtyard were called out.
"Mother............" only said one word, and Ji Qingliu was so frightened by the teacup thrown by Gu that he swallowed all the words back.
Gu Shi was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, and his fingers at Ji Qingliu couldn't help but tremble, "How did I teach you on weekdays?" That's your own grandmother! You still have a trace of conscience in your heart, I have raised you for so many years, and your conscience has been eaten by yourself! ”
Filial piety comes first. Killing parents and elders was a big deal in the dynasty. If you send it to the government, you will be tortured.
Ji Qingliu didn't expect things to turn out like this, she was crying, but she was afraid that Gu would kill her again, so she had to bite her lower lip very miserably, and swallowed the cry that was about to be uncontrollable into her stomach.
In the courtyard, except for Shen Qiaoan, everyone was probably uncomfortable. Shen Qiao'an was trying hard to lower the aura of his existence.
Ji Qingliu knelt, suddenly raised her head, looked at Gu Congsheng pitifully, she shouted, "Cousin......"
When Gu Congsheng saw her like this, he inevitably felt a little pity in his heart. When he was about to relent, the scene when Old Madam Gu fainted provoked him to wake up completely.
No matter what, the fact that Ji Qingliu harmed Old Madam Gu is a fact that cannot be changed.
Gu Congsheng turned his head and no longer looked at the picture in front of him.
"You still have the face to call your cousin!" Gu Shi raised his hand and slapped it on the wooden table, making a dull sound, and said angrily: "The good things you did yourself, how do you want to end it!" That's your real grandmother! ”
The most suitable way is to ruthlessly send Ji Qingliu to the government. After all, it is her own daughter, and Gu also has selfish intentions in her heart, so she had to look at Gu Congsheng, who had been silent, with an apologetic face, and asked: "Congsheng, your cousin Qingliu made a big mistake this time, you are the concubine of the Marquis of Jingshun, if you want to punish her, my aunt will never intercede for her!" She's such a wolf-hearted thing, you can just kill her! Gotta teach her a lesson! ”
Where could Gu Congsheng not know Gu Shidu's thoughts. This time Ji Qingliu made a big mistake, and while he hated it, he was more disgusted with himself. Ji Qingliu clearly did such a wrong thing, but he still felt a little pity for her in his heart!
He subconsciously looked at Ji Qingliu, who was very current at this time, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Qiaoan's figure. But in an instant, the softest place in his heart moved again.
After half a ring, Gu Congsheng said: "If my aunt is not in a hurry about this matter, just wait for my grandmother to wake up and deal with it herself." Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and glanced at Ji Qingliu on the ground fiercely, and the next moment, she opened her mouth and spit out a few ruthless words in her mouth, "Qiaohui, you go and call Mama Xu in." ”
As soon as the words came out, Ji Qiaohui and Gu Congsheng in the courtyard were stunned. Ji Qiaohui stammered, "Really...... Are you sure? ”
Gu's eyes closed slightly, as if he couldn't bear it, "Go ahead......"
"Mother! I was wrong...... Don't call Mama Xu......" Ji Qingliu's voice gradually lowered, and finally she could barely hear what she was saying.
The subordinates in the courtyard were called out in advance, if those subordinates were there, Ji Qingliu's face would be lost today.
After a while, Ji Qiaohui came in with Mama Xu behind her. Mama Xu is upright and middle-aged, and her figure is much taller than ordinary women.
Ji Qingliu looked at Mama Xu, her body trembled immediately, and her eyes widened to see her walk up to Gu and salute.
Mama Xu followed Gu's side, and has been managing the subordinates of the Marquis of Changning Mansion for her, doing things ruthlessly and unsympatheticly, and those rough hands don't know how many little maids' faces have been damaged.
"Mama Xu, the four girls made a big mistake today, blaming me for being negligent in discipline on weekdays. Today, you will teach her how to treat the elders in the family. If I do it again, I'll clean her up myself! Gu Shi said coldly.
"Mother...... I really know it's wrong, don't treat me like this........." Ji Qingliu really cried this time, looking at Mama Xu in fear.
Mama Xu couldn't see any emotion on her face, she just didn't see Ji Qingliu's begging for mercy. stepped forward in a few steps, pinched Ji Qingliu's hands that wanted to struggle and push her away, and said in a tone without ups and downs: "Fourth Miss, you don't have to be fearless in struggle. If you are wrong, you should be punished. ”
A delicate and poor little girl is going to be beaten, and anyone will be a little unbearable in their hearts. Gu Congsheng wanted to speak and stopped, "Auntie......"
"Cong Sheng, don't worry. Since it was your cousin who did something wrong, although we are relatives, she must not be spared if she harmed the old lady. Gu interrupted Gu Congsheng's words.
Seeing Gu Congsheng speaking for him, Ji Qingliu felt a little better. Unwilling to mix some tenderness and sweetness into her resentment, she thought to herself, maybe Gu Congsheng really had affection for her......
Mama Xu saw that Ji Qingliu suddenly stopped struggling and resisting, and quickly grabbed her. Lifting the white and tender, but palm-sized face, Mama Xu rubbed her hands, raised her right hand high, and in an instant, a crisp sound.
At the same time, there was also Ji Qingliu's aggrieved scream. Mama Xu's slap fell, and a blood-red slap mark appeared on her face in just a moment. It was very shocking to look at her face.
Where had Ji Qingliu been humiliated like this before, and when the hotness on her face subsided, she stood up from the ground with her hands propped up. Seeing Shen Qiaoan by the wall, her eyes almost burst into flames of hatred.
Shen Qiaoan turned his head to look to the side, just as if he didn't see Ji Qingliu's hateful eyes.
Ji Qingliu is afraid that he can't wait to kill her at this time, and after this, I am afraid that he will not let her go. Shen Qiao'an is surprisingly calm, she will live one more life, and in the last life, she was stupid to be killed by Ji Qingliu. In this life, she relied on an extra memory, and she became more and more fearless about Ji Qingliu and other people who wanted to harm her.
"Who told you to stand up!" Gu roared loudly.
had already been slapped, Ji Qingliu thought that the Gu family was still dissatisfied, so he had to kneel on the ground again with an ugly face.
Gu Shi stretched out his hand and pointed at her and said, "You kneel here for me today and pray for your grandmother!" When will your grandmother wake up, you will get me up again! ”
"Mother......" Ji Qiaohui stretched out her hand and touched Gu's, no one knew when the old lady would wake up, if Ji Qingliu kept kneeling, she might not be able to hold on.
Gu glared at Ji Qiaohui, "Don't worry about it!" ”
After that, he got up directly to leave, leaving only one sentence to Mama Xu, "Mama Xu, you look at her and kneel here for me." ”
