The corners of Su Qi's mouth rose, but her eyes darkened and it was impossible to tell the emotion in them.
The voice remained the same, "And then?"
"Sister Xiaocha has many shortcomings, but she is also my family. Auntie said that she is my blood-related family, and if they live a happy life in the future, they will naturally help me."
Gu Xiaoyue bit her lip and looked up, her heart tightened when she saw Gu Beiting and the others looking disappointed in her.
He quickly lowered his head and shrank into a quail.
"Family members are supposed to help each other." Su Qi picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. Life in an orphanage in her previous life made her not know how to express her emotions.
Covered with a layer of hedgehog armor, he gradually became a selfish person.
When Gu Xiaoyue heard this, the fog in her heart seemed to be cleared up instantly.
"But helping each other is mutual. It's not like one person is just trying to be nice to someone else." Su Qi paused and looked at Gu Xiaoyue, feeling rather uncomfortable. "Xiaoyue, I can't stop you from making any decisions. But you have to walk the path you choose. We may not give you a chance to turn back later."
"Each of you has a monthly stipend. Logically, even if you sign a contract to sell your bodies, it shouldn't prevent you from treating your family well. I don't quite understand the difficulties your aunt mentioned."
Gu Beiting snorted coldly and said, "Xiaoyue is the kind of girl who has forgotten the pain now that the wound has healed. Gu Xiaocha is an ungrateful person. What good will it do to earn a dowry for her?"
"It's wishful thinking to expect Xiaoyue to raise 20 taels of silver in just three months. Let's just count on Xiaoyue to lend them the money."
Gu Beihe and the other girls all grew up in a large mansion.
When you get used to seeing the selfish faces of some people, you will naturally see things from a broader perspective.
Gu Xiaoyue was a little embarrassed. Her cousins were so cute. It seemed unreasonable for her to just ignore them.
But what Su Qi said made her panic for no reason.
"Sister-in-law. Don't you want me to stay here?" Gu Xiaoyue bit her lips and her eyes were misty.
Su Qi sighed inwardly.
"Xiaoyue. Think carefully about what everyone said. I heard that you have been neglecting your medical skills and martial arts recently and helping your cousins with their work?" Su Qi had originally been a little more tolerant of Gu Xiaoyue.
She always felt that she and Hong Liuer were the only ones who lost their virginity in Hulu Mountain, and she felt a little sorry for it.
"I won't do that again." Gu Xiaoyue was about to cry.
Her aunt assigned too much work to her cousins, and the little ones were so busy that they couldn't finish it.
"Since you have no interest in studying medicine, you don't need to go. The master is quite strict with apprentices. Why don't you learn embroidery?"
"Embroidery?" Gu Xiaoyue gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Su Qi got a headache seeing this. Was this girl from a poor family or was she so naive?
"Think carefully about what I said." Su Qi pinched her brows and said in an unhappy tone, "You should go out first. Staying here gives me a headache."
Gu Xiaoyue wanted to tell Su Qi about her cousins' kindness and good behavior, but before she could open her mouth, she was pulled away by Gu Beijing.
"Xiaoyue, think about it carefully first."
Gu Beiting and Gu Beihe stayed and exchanged glances.
Gu Beihe looked at Su Qi and said, "Sister-in-law, maybe we said something wrong just now. I don't want Xiaoyue to be deceived like this."
"You're right. Let her put her medical studies on hold. I'll have Xiang He arrange other tasks for her."
Su Qi paused and said, "Beihe, I won't allow anyone to do anything that would harm the Gu family. You all know this and be alert."
Gu Beihe and Gu Beiting looked at each other, but still agreed.
After the two left.
Baizhi opened the curtain and walked in.
"Madam, I will be careful not to let Gu Xiaocha and the others have the chance to come into contact with Gu Xiaoyue again."
Su Qi sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Just wait and see. Keep all important matters secret from Xiaoyue. Also, tell her that she's older and has more to learn. Let Beiting and the others live in Qinfang Courtyard in the spring. Gu Xiaoyue should also move out and live with the maids who are coming later."
"Yes." Bai Zhi agreed.
In her heart, she only hoped that Gu Xiaoyue would not let Su Qi down.
After Baizhi left.
Gu Xiuming's mother and several other women also came here with their side branches and several women from Yuezhou Prefecture.
It is said that he is paying New Year's greetings to the host family.
Su Qi asked them to come over and talk for a few words, then asked Bai Zhi to take them to the pavilion in front for tea.
He also asked someone to bring over some fresh cakes and fruits.
Seeing that Su Qi was busy, Huang Ruxin stood up and said goodbye.
Su Qi looked at Huang Ruxin's slender figure and couldn't help but be moved.
"Ruxin, if you have any questions, please send someone over to tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help."
Huang Ruxin smiled. She hadn't expected to meet such a close friend here. "Qiqi, whatever you do, be mindful of the witch doctor from Nanli Country.
"You must read the book I gave you carefully. The poisons used by witch doctors are extremely toxic, so you must be careful in everything you do."
"I will."
Su Qi sent Huang Ruxin to the front yard and met Huang Ruxin's mother-in-law who came to look for them.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out holding the child, talking and laughing.
Su Qi felt jealous when she saw this.
By lunchtime, Gu Beiheng and his friends still hadn't returned. Su Qi felt a bit lost in her appetite and worried about Gu Beiheng.
It would be great if she could go to the back mountain with him. Su Qi was feeling restless now.
After dinner, she didn't go out, nor did she play with Gu Beihe and the others. She sat lazily on the couch in the room, with a blanket draped over her.
Reading the book Huang Ruxin gave her.
It was not until the evening that Gu Beiheng and his companions returned.
Before Su Qi saw Gu Beiheng, she felt a gust of cold wind blowing in from the door. Then a tall figure came in, mixed with a faint smell of blood.
Su Qi is very sensitive to this smell.
"Beiheng, are you injured?" Su Qi quickly stood up.
He started to pull off Gu Beiheng's clothes.
Bai Zhi, who followed in from the door, quickly retreated and stuck out her tongue playfully.
Oh, madam is too fierce.
I can't help it.
The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a moment. Su Qi loosened the clothes in her hands and said awkwardly, "Bai Zhi, bring in some hot water. Bei Heng is injured and needs to be cleaned."
After saying that, Su Qi let out a breath.
Gu Beiheng shook his head in amusement.
He put his arm around Su Qi's shoulders and chuckled, "Qiqi. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
"Minor injury? Just try to be strong." Su Qi was a little fierce at first, but when she thought of something, tears started to fall.
He simply went into the inner room and ignored Gu Beiheng.
That moment.
She recalled the scene of Gu Beiheng being eaten by wild beasts in the forest, and her heart ached inexplicably. She was also absent-mindedly thinking about him while reading in the afternoon.
Now that this man has entered her heart, Su Qi naturally hopes that her family and the people around her can avoid all bad things.
Baizhi brought a basin of hot water.
Gu Beiheng waved his hand to let Bai Zhi go out, and he reached out and took the basin to the inner room.
Put the basin on the table.
Seeing Su Qi sitting in front of the dressing table with a lonely look on her face, Gu Beiheng walked over and gently pulled Su Qi's arm. "Qi Qi, I will take care of myself in the future. Don't be angry, help me clean the wound."
Su Qi shook off his arm, a nameless anger rising in her heart. "Go away."
Gu Beiheng hissed coldly, "Ah~." Then he seemed to be suppressing the pain.
Su Qi stood up in a panic, anxiously watching Gu Beiheng's hands caressing him. "You pulled the wound, didn't you? Sit down quickly. It's my fault. I shouldn't have been angry with you."
The hedgehog-like Su Qi released her softest side in front of Gu Beiheng.
Bei Heng pulled Qi Qi into his arms, resting his chin on Su Qi's bun. He inhaled the fragrance of the woman's hair, and felt an inexplicable sense of peace in his heart.
"Qiqi. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made you worry." Gu Beiheng loosened his grip a little after saying that.
Gently kissed Su Qi's forehead, eyebrows, eyes and nose.
Until that touch of bright red.
The missing piece in his heart was filled.
