"I don't have much ability, but I'm quite brave."
Rolling her eyes at the two of them, Zheng Xueyi also sat on the roof.
"I've already sent the carriage back home first. If he were to track him down, he wouldn't be able to trace him back to you."
"well done."
Gu Qingsheng wiped the sweat off his face while tucking his skirt.
"It's getting late, go back quickly."
It was already late when they arrived at the mansion. Unexpectedly, Lin had been waiting in Gu Qingsheng's room for a long time.
She leaned her hands on the table, seeming a little drowsy. When she saw Gu Qingsheng coming back, her face gradually cleared up, and a look of anger welled up in her eyes.
"Why are you back so late? I told you it's not safe for a girl to be out so late. You didn't bring any guards with you when you went out today. What if something happens again?"
She kept nagging and looked like a loving mother. Bai Lu moved closer to Gu Qingsheng to cover her tattered skirt.
"Who let you into my room?"
Gu Qingsheng ignored Lin's words and sat down. He saw a cup of half-cold tea on the table and poured it all out of the window. His rejection was obvious.
After so many times of not giving face, Lin was used to it. She sat down opposite Gu Qingsheng with a bit of mischief, took out a sachet from her sleeve and pushed it to Gu Qingsheng's side.
"Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, I embroidered a sachet for you last night. Do you like it?"
"When I went to the palace a few days ago, I noticed that most of the girls were carrying scent sachets given by their mothers. I was so moved by this and realized that I hadn't made one for you in a long time, so I made one for you."
There was a hint of temptation in that expression, and for a moment, Gu Qingsheng even felt that he was the bad guy who was making things difficult for others.
Just as she was about to refuse, she raised her eyes and suddenly saw the pink kingfisher hairpin on Lin's head. She stared at it for a while, smiled slowly, took the sachet in front of her and put it in her sleeve.
"I finally understand why others say beauty is a feast for the eyes. Mother usually puts all her thoughts on me, and now she has dressed up and looks quite colorful. This hairpin sets off her beauty so beautifully that it makes my eyes dazzled."
These words were of course fabricated. Lin was famous for her love of playing with herself. If there were any new cosmetics, her name would definitely be on the order list.
However, because Gu Qingsheng was so serious when he said these words, even Lin suddenly felt that she had wronged herself in the past. She sighed softly and was very happy to see Gu Qingsheng accept the sachet.
"Qing'er, what are you talking about? Isn't it my duty to do this for you?"
"Mother and daughter don't hold grudges overnight. It was indeed my fault a few days ago. I was too busy at the mansion to spare any time. I was very sad that you were angry with me, but from the look on your face, you seem to have thought it through. That's good."
The woman's whisper was unusually soft under the candlelight. Gu Qingsheng lowered his eyes, nodded, and turned around to ask another question.
"Is the person who dressed up my mother today still seeking pleasure?"
Lin was stunned, and suddenly remembered something and shook his head.
"This is a new little girl from my place. Her name is Luoshui. You may not have seen her..."
She stopped talking here and was about to say that Bai Lu knew the person who fell into the water, but then she thought that mentioning the last incident in this atmosphere would ruin the atmosphere, so she immediately changed the subject.
"If Qing'er likes her craftsmanship, send it back to her and let her comb your hair."
Seeing Lin's kind smile, Miao Lanlan rolled her eyes to the sky.
"What a great pretense! I'm speechless."
Gu Qingsheng took all of Lin's care into his pocket
"Kiyomori doesn't have the same complexion as her mother. In my opinion, the little girl has quite good cooking skills."
The two chatted for a while, and then Lin left because it was getting late.
After Lin left, Gu Qingsheng pulled out her sachet from his sleeve and threw it on the ground. His expression of disgust was self-evident. He told Bai Lu:
"Cut it up and burn it."
Bai Luxingsheng took it out, and Miao Lanlan clicked her tongue twice.
"I can only say that you are a natural-born actor. Look how you fooled that woman so much that she almost lost her way."
"She must be fooled by me."
The handkerchief in Gu Qingsheng's hand kept wiping the place where Lin had just held it, until the skin turned bright red.
"In this mansion, my father is completely focused on me and my brother. If she wants to achieve great things, she definitely can't do it without pleasing us first."
"I rejected her a while ago, but now if I smile at her even a little, she'll let her guard down, saving me a lot of trouble."
…
When Lin came back, she saw Luo Shui cleaning up the tea that had spilled on the ground.
Seeing Lin coming back, he shuddered with fear and immediately crawled to Lin's feet and kowtowed.
"Madam, please spare me, Madam, please spare me. It was my fault, it was my fault..."
The little girl kowtowed very loudly, using all her strength every time.
"Look at you."
Suddenly, Lin's voice was heard with some laughter. Lin bent down and helped the man who fell into the water.
"Isn't it just spilled water? Just clean it up."
The sudden tenderness made Luo Shui stunned, with confusion in his eyes.
"The hair you did for me today, that girl kept praising it for being beautiful. It turns out you came from a wealthy family, so you have some taste."
As she spoke, she pulled out a golden hairpin from her head and threw it to the water's feet. The hairpin clanged and flew a long way. Lin was in a good mood.
"This is a reward for you. Don't just stand there."
Luo Shui finally realized what was happening and hurriedly picked up the golden hairpin and kowtowed to Lin.
"Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am."
No one noticed the deep resentment in her eyes when she looked at Lin's back.
…
In the early morning, before the cocks crowed, people were busy on the walls of the imperial palace.
At the foot of the palace wall, a very strong smell of blood was rising.
Buckets of blood were placed below, and Zheng Xueyi, holding a huge brush, was writing on the wall with the blood, while some broken limbs and body parts were rolled up on a straw mat on the side.
Gu Qingsheng stood in the distance, watching this cruel scene with an unmoved expression.
I vomited for a long time when I first saw him, but as time went by, my heart became numb.
Zheng Xueyi is illiterate and was born in a small village where there is not even a teacher.
Gu Qingsheng also tried to write it on rice paper and asked her to copy it, but the effect was minimal, and in the end the result was either a weird or a weird drawing.
Helplessly, Gu Qingsheng could only follow Zheng Xueyi to the scene. Bai Lu had no idea about this. If she knew that she was doing such a cruel thing, she would probably faint on the spot.
"I spent a long time searching for these body parts in the mass grave. It's really hard to find a body similar in size to that woman."
