Ying Shi hated women crying the most, and he could have tolerated her mumbling a few words. But when he heard Fang Xiaoya crying, he poked and poked her out with the hilt of his sword.
"You little girl have no shame. I told you to come back tomorrow, but you still won't leave. Who would run around a group of men in the middle of the night? Look, we have maids and servants here."
Shadow Ten can poison people to death.
He was still stabbing with the hilt of his sword as he casually lifted his eyelids. "Hurry back. I'll report back to our wife tomorrow morning. It's no use yelling your lungs out right now."
Do you think that our Gu Mansion, a noble and grand compound, is inferior to your Gu Mansion's small shack? "With a roar, several families could hear the sound." Ying Shi's words cut Fang Xiaoya like a knife.
Her nails dug deep into her palms. She should live in a mansion, while Su Qi should live in a thatched hut.
She wiped her nose with her sleeve in anger and looked at the tall gate with a stern look. She turned and left. This place was too damn weird, there was definitely something wrong.
How did Su Qi, a doughy person, become like this?
Fang Xiaoya stumbled all the way back.
The old women following behind were dumbfounded. Why didn't they wait for them?
"Ladies, how about we go to the mountains and chat?" Ying Shi stood in the corner, sword in hand, his lips curled coldly: "The wild wolves also want to chat with you, let's go."
Go to the mountains to chat with wild wolves?
Isn't this like giving them teething sticks?
"No, no." A woman waved her hand quickly, "I am old and useless. I need to go back to sleep."
"When you're old and useless, don't let your imagination run wild. Don't assume everyone else is a fool, or you might end up shooting yourself in the foot."
Several old women ran even faster.
How could they have imagined that the one who was now in the limelight of the Gu Mansion was the illegitimate son? Where did the old man and the old lady get swept away by the mudslide?
The remaining first and second wives are both useless, and I thought that I would have a good life if I followed Fang Xiaoya's family.
It seems that it won’t work now.
Several old women looked at the stars in the distance with worry, as if the path for their children and grandchildren was blocked by their bad mouths.
What should I do?
Fang Xiaoya returned home.
Gu Jingfeng sat in front of the bed, holding a book, his eyes fixed on it. Jingru lay on the bed, her face flushed, tears constantly falling and soaking the pillowcase.
Fang Xiaoya always thought that her son had the potential to be the top scholar, but now he can't even take the imperial examination, and he spends all day reading and doesn't pay attention to what's going on outside. What's the meaning of this?
She pinched her brows with her hands, and thought of the high gate and courtyard in the south. Her heart was like a tangled knot, and she suppressed her anger and took out a handkerchief to wipe Gu Jingru's tears.
"Jingfeng. You are also a brother. How can you still read books when your sister is like this?"
Gu Jingfeng glanced at Gu Jingru on the bed with displeasure, and said in a cold voice:
"I'm not a doctor. How can I cure illnesses or save lives?" Gu Jingfeng changed his posture and moved closer to the candle. "My mother couldn't help her, so what can I do? Don't disturb me while I'm reading."
Gu Jingfeng turned the page with two fingers and read on intently. He was so absorbed in the sweet taste that the rest of reality was beyond the reach of a child like him.
Fang Xiaoya used to think her son was such a source of pride. But now, she felt it was so heartbreaking that she wished he would stop studying and learn to collect firewood to support the family.
"Jingru, mother is counting on you. Don't be like that useless person. He's wasting my efforts."
"Why does Su Qi live in a house like that and still have servants?"
Fang Xiaoya became sadder and sadder as she spoke, since they were both getting married.
In the past, she could only marry someone better than Su Qi, but now it seems that is not necessarily the case.
"Your father is also a useless thing. How could he not control his own body? That bitch Hong Liu'er killed him all at once, and now he has become a laughing stock for everyone.
How am I going to live my life from now on?" Fang Xiaoya was even more sad.
Gu Jingfeng put down the book, shook his head and sighed, then walked out.
He went to sleep in the next room.
Gu Jingru's heart was pounding as she listened. She hadn't expected what had happened to Gu Beihan. Su Qi was the most hateful person. She didn't even kill her but tortured her in this way.
If you kill her, she can still take the opportunity to fight back.
This woman's method of boiling a frog in warm water is going to wear her out.
The next morning.
After Su Qi had a leisurely breakfast, she went to the small building to deal with the day's affairs.
"Xiao Liuzi, how's the cellar going?" Su Qi was holding a cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea. The chrysanthemum was roasted with Dali's daughter black tea.
It removes the coldness and is more suitable for women to drink.
Xiao Liuzi stood in the middle of the room, bent over and said with a smile:
"Ma'am, we're still digging the cellar you mentioned. We're going to dig deeper along the mountain wall. We've also made several ventilation holes, all in inconspicuous places."
"The cave for burning charcoal has been built. Madam, would you like to go and take a look?"
"Go ahead." Su Qi took a sip of tea and put it down.
"Tell the Gu Xiuming brothers to hurry up and chop wood so we can make more charcoal. Let's try to make some money before the cold weather hits."
Su Qi stood up while speaking.
Bai Zhi hurriedly took out a cloak and put it on Su Qi, "Madam, Dabao and Erbao are making a fuss about going to the village to play. They said they had agreed with their friends that they would go to the neighboring village to fight for territory today."
Su Qi was very worried about her two children.
I wanted to teach them to read and write, but they couldn't sit still, as if they had needles prickling their buttocks.
He spends the whole day playing around with a group of naughty monkeys.
"Don't let them go out these few days. Call Mrs. Zhang's grandson and a few good-natured children from the village over and let them play in the gatehouse."
"I will give the order right away."
When Su Qi left, Bai Zhi had already arrived at her side. Bai Zhi, skilled in martial arts, naturally wanted to accompany Su Qi. She had a red whip tied around her waist, and her frosty eyes made her look like someone not to be trifled with.
Xiao Liuzi led the way in front.
The charcoal cave was not far from the Gu residence. After leaving the courtyard, it would take another quarter of an hour to walk south.
Walked for a while.
Su Qi saw Gu Beihan hiding stealthily behind a jujube tree, his rat eyes constantly looking towards the Gu Mansion.
"Xiao Liuzi, there are mice watching our yard. Tell Yingyi to be careful and don't let them get in contact with Dabao and Erbao."
When Gu Beihan came to get the silver and food in the morning, he wanted to take Dabao and Erbao out to play.
Su Qi didn't expect that Gu Jingru was like that, and this family still hadn't given up hope.
"I'll go right away."
Xiao Liuzi turned around and went back to look for Yingyi.
Su Qi waved her hand and she and Bai Zhi quietly sneaked behind Gu Beihan. She gave Bai Zhi a gesture to rush forward.
Baizhi nodded in understanding.
He kicked Gu Beihan so hard that he fell flat on his face.
"Hey, who is it?" Gu Beihan cursed and wanted to turn around to see who was so wicked.
How can Baizhi leave a name for herself even if she does good deeds?
The whip in his hand rolled up a few tree branches to bury his head, and then kicked him repeatedly.
There are no good people in this family.
After Bai Zhi kicked him furiously, she ran out. She quickly reunited with Su Qi, who was standing nearby watching the fun. Holding back a smile, she pulled Su Qi's hand and ran away.
Gu Beihan's howling cries and curses could be heard in the wind.
Bai Zhi snorted in her heart: You are scolding yourself.
If you don’t want to listen, you don’t want to listen.
"Madam, I used to beat up those who laughed at you like this." Bai Zhi smiled proudly, then closed her mouth and said nothing.
"What?" Su Qi didn't hear clearly.
Bai Zhi stuck out her tongue and said, "Nothing." She was a few years younger than Su Qi. It was Su Qi who saved her life on the street, so she followed Su Qi back to the Su Mansion.
At that time, Su Qi was innocent and too simple.
People often laughed at her and called her a little fool, and Baizhi always beat those people secretly.
Su Qi's mother was very capable and had a good relationship with her concubines. The concubines also protected Su Qi, and she did not feel bullied by others.
After she reached the age of 15, she married Gu Beiheng directly.
She was so focused on raising two children in the Gu Mansion that she didn't care about anything else. Someone in the Gu Mansion verbally suppressed her and asked her to copy scriptures.
The next day, that person's family or people around him would be beaten for no apparent reason, or they would be beaten up by Su Qi's brother in the name of a challenge.
