Gu Yinwei's answer was concise and straightforward. After hearing her words, Gu Qingrong's smile suddenly subsided, and then she smiled again. When she smiled, the corners of her mouth turned up, and her eyebrows and eyes also turned up. She had a melon-shaped face, and her smile was very contagious.
Soon Gu Yingxia also smiled with her, and Gu Yinwei curled her lips slightly. There were smiles on the faces of the three of them, but the smiles did not reach the bottom of their hearts.
Gu Qingrong's smile was a hearty laugh of joy as her evil plan was about to succeed. She was like a shrewd hunter, digging a trap bit by bit with her hands, and now the prey agreed to jump into the trap.
Her laughter was somewhat filled with a sense of satisfaction from having had great revenge.
Gu Yingxia's smile was implicit, and she smiled with the attitude of a bystander.
Gu Yinwei's smile was very shallow, with a sense of relief that if an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth.
The three sisters of the Gu family gathered in the flower hall to drink tea, while three maids waited on the side. Outside, the woman in charge of sweeping the yard passed by with a broom and dustpan. "Your three young ladies seem to be getting along really well."
Bian Tao and Ah Qing hesitated to speak, and Chu Chu said in a low voice: "The three young ladies do seem to be getting along well."
The old woman didn't understand Chuchu's implication. She swept the ground with a broom. Occasionally, a leaf of varying shades of green and yellow fell from the tall sycamore tree. The old woman stopped and looked up at the treetops: "There's no wind here, how come there are fallen leaves on the ground again after I just cleaned it up?"
She rubbed her lower back, the broom stood upright on the ground, her hand on the top of the broom, rested for a while, and waved the broom again. This broom was taller than her. She waved the broom with great effort, and the rustling sound of bamboo leaves and branches brushing against the ground came from the ground.
When Gu Qingrong arrived, the maid had just started sweeping the floor. When Gu Qingrong left the flower hall, the maid had just finished sweeping an area of the floor.
Gu Yinwei was holding half a cake in her hand. Gu Yingxia came over and bumped into her, and the cake rolled to the ground. Gu Yinwei bent down to pick it up. Gu Yingxia said, "It's dirty. Why are you picking it up?"
Gu Yinwei leaned against the railing and broke up some cakes to feed the fish.
"Why did you bump into me for no reason? You've wasted a piece of glutinous rice cake."
"Tell me quickly, how do you plan to deal with Gu Qingrong?"
Gu Yingxia rubbed her hands excitedly and took out sunflower seeds from her purse with an expectant expression.
"I have no plans." Gu Yinwei remained calm and concentrated on feeding the fish.
Gu Yingxia stamped her feet vigorously. "No, you must tell me your plan. Last time I asked you how to deal with Xiao Fengyu, you refused to tell me a word. Now everyone in Yizhou knows that Xiao Fengyu and her childhood cousin are having an affair, and I'm the only one who doesn't know."
"You know it now?"
"But I found out too late. If I had known it a month earlier, I would have had an extra month of happiness."
Gu Yinwei patted the pastry crumbs off her hands. Chuchu brought a basin of water for her to wash her hands, and Gu Yingxia stood aside waiting.
“The more you know, the more painful it is.”
"I'd rather be in pain than numb."
Gu Yingxia had a firm expression. She was a person who liked to find out gossip. Not allowing her to find out was even more painful than not allowing her to eat.
Gu Yingxia chirped non-stop, and she alone was as loud as a hundred orioles.
Gu Yinwei covered her face with the book and didn't read a single word for a whole half hour.
When Gu Yingxia saw Gu Yinwei put away the book, she immediately leaned over and smiled at her.
"Second sister, please tell me more."
"What do you want me to say?"
"Let's talk about Xiao Fengyu first, then Gu Qingrong."
Gu Yinwei spoke briefly and briefly explained that she had sent someone to look for Xiao Fengyu's cousin. Gu Yingxia automatically imagined a tragic love drama.
Her tone was excited, and she was more intoxicated when talking about this topic than when drinking.
"Haha, 'Cousin and cousin are a match made in heaven, but the shameless minister stole their love.' This little tune has already spread all over the streets. What do you think our father would think when he heard it? If he knew it was you who did it, he'd probably be so pissed that his beard would be crooked."
"Although you are very unfilial, I can't help laughing, hahahaha."
"When it comes to filial piety, it emphasizes the need for a father to be kind and a son to be filial. Fatherly kindness comes before sonly filial piety, so sonly filial piety is premised on fatherly kindness. If the father is not kind, why should the son be filial?"
"You are unfilial and I am laughing."
Gu Yingxia laughed so hard that she fell backwards. Ah Qing helped her lean back on the chair, and Chuchu bent down to rub her belly.
"It's so satisfying, so satisfying. Xiao Fengyu has already fallen, and only Gu Qingrong is left. If you defeat her, our entire clan will offer sacrifices to the gods, and the sisters' plan of promotion will be completely completed."
"When the time comes, even if Gu Shenzhi is unwilling, he will have to support me to take the position. Once my foundation is solid, I will come to rescue you."
Gu Yinwei raised her teacup and said, "If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me."
Gu Yingxia was busy eating melon seeds and mumbled, "Gou Fugui, woof woof woof."
The two sisters chatted and laughed, as if all their worries were thrown away.
The fish in the pond, the lotus flowers on the water, and even the birds in the trees were all quiet. The surroundings were quiet, with only a strong wind blowing in from the window, carrying hot air.
"Miss, the almonds are here."
"Go meet her."
Chuchu held an oil-paper umbrella for Gu Yinwei. There were auspicious clouds painted on the umbrella. The summer sun was scorching, and the grass on the ground could not stand the heat and drooped its head listlessly. Water had just been splashed on the ground and was now dried up.
Bian Tao was waiting by the garden. Gu Yinwei went over to talk to her. Chu Chu walked back and forth with an umbrella, waiting for people to come closer before giving them a reminder.
"Second Miss, you must be careful. The eldest lady has the intention to harm others."
Bian Tao took Gu Yinwei's sleeve and led her to the water tank under the eaves. There were a few red fish in the tank, and the fish were swimming happily, wagging their tails.
