Gu Qingrong was still in a daze. The Black Widow got wet, but didn't jump out of the gift box to bite anyone. What went wrong?
"I'm asking you a question. Why are you doing this?"
Ning Heyu slapped Gu Qingrong in the face. Many people came up to watch, and some smart people had already sneaked away.
The birthday party that was lively before is now in a mess, with nine out of ten tables empty.
Gu Yingxia stood far away, staring intently at what was happening in Shui Xie Pavilion.
From time to time, she raised the melon seeds in her hand and put them into her mouth, her cheeks rolling quickly.
Even if Bian Tao and Chu Chu peeled melon seeds for her, it was still not enough for her to eat alone.
The runes on the gift box were crushed by Gu Yinwei. Black Widow was stained with wine. The wine at the banquet could even make people drunk, let alone a Black Widow. At this time, Black Widow had fallen into a deep sleep.
Gu Qingrong lowered her head to look through the gift box, muttering to herself, "There must be something wrong. There must be something wrong."
She reached out and grabbed the Black Widow and shook her vigorously. The Black Widow was attacked and jumped onto the back of Gu Qingrong's hand and bit her hard.
Gu Qingrong took off her shoes in a rage and went to hit the Black Widow. The Black Widow jumped onto Ning Shuanghe and bit her leg. The maids came to rescue her, and the Black Widow jumped onto Gu Qingrong's back.
Gu Qingrong was scratching around like a monkey, shouting, "Save me, save me!"
The maid beside Ning Shuanghe raised the gift box and smashed it hard on Gu Qingrong's head. The Black Widow finally died and turned into a dried flower again, falling straight to the ground.
Ning Shuanghe covered her mouth and stepped back step by step.
The maid holding the gift box was so frightened that she fell to the ground and crawled backwards in panic using her hands and feet.
A black gas emerged from Gu Qingrong's forehead. This was the poison gas released by the Black Widow after her death. At this time, the poison gas had formed a large black spot on her face.
Someone kicked over a candle, someone tripped, and someone fell into the lake.
Ning Heyu was scared and anxious. Although it was Gu Qingrong who caused trouble first and ruined her birthday party, the person who hit Gu Qingrong with the gift box was Ning Heyu's personal maid. This meant that it was Ning Heyu who ruined Gu Qingrong's face.
The maid knelt on the ground and sobbed, "Miss, I didn't mean it. The eldest daughter of the Gu family was crying for help from me, and I tried to save her. Who knew it would turn out like this?"
"You hit her, firstly to vent my anger, and secondly to save her. You are loyal to your master, so I will do my best to protect you."
"Immediately send someone back to Ning Mansion to deliver a letter to father. Tell him the truth about what happened at the Waterside Pavilion in every detail. Have my eldest brother contact the Ministry of Justice to investigate the origins of the Black Widow and make sure to prove that Gu Qingrong brought poison to the banquet."
The moon in the night sky was very round, but there were few stars. Gu Yinwei looked up at the moon and realized that what the ancients said about the bright moon and sparse stars was not false.
Chuchu spread a straw mat on the ground, and Gu Yinwei lay quietly on the mat, holding a round fan in her hand.
The fragrance slowly emanates from the incense burner, and crickets are singing in the corner of the wall.
"Chu Chu, we will meet many people in the future who are more vicious than Black Widow. Are you afraid?"
"Chu Chu is not afraid. The ones who should be afraid are the bad guys."
"You're right. The ones we should be afraid of are the bad guys."
"But I'm a little scared."
"What are you afraid of, young lady?"
“I’m afraid I’ll become a bad person.”
Gu Yinwei's voice was very soft. Chuchu was busy adding spices to the incense burner and didn't hear what she said clearly. When Chuchu finished her work and turned around, Gu Yinwei had been asleep for a long time.
Gu Yingxia went out with two large bags of melon seeds, and when she came back, all the seeds had been scattered. "Second sister, I found a lot..."
Chu Chu lowered her voice: "Miss Third, please keep your voice down. Miss Second is asleep."
Gu Yingxia rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll carry her in."
Chuchu said: "Let me do it."
"Your hand isn't healed yet, and the doctor said you can't use gravity. Don't underestimate me because I'm small. I'm very strong."
Gu Yingxia had learned martial arts from Aunt Fang when she was young, so she was stronger than most people. She held Gu Yinwei and carefully put her on the bed, tucking the quilt for Gu Yinwei.
Gu Yinwei said dazedly, "Stop the stars from shining, turn off the moon, I want to sleep.
Gu Yingxia tiptoed to close the window, puffed out her cheeks, and blew out the light in the dormitory with a whoosh.
Chuchu raised her back and wiped the corners of her eyes. Seeing Gu Yingxia coming out, she sniffed hurriedly and turned her back.
"It's a beautiful moonlit night, why are you suddenly crying?"
"I remember when Concubine Fang first came to Beijing, the Third Miss was all alone, crying and clamoring for Concubine Fang every day. Our Second Miss coaxed the Third Miss to eat and sleep. At that time, the Third Miss was not even as tall as the leg of a stool. Now, the Third Miss is taller than this Concubine Fang, and she still has the strength to hold the Second Miss."
"Yes, I've grown taller and older. I can protect the people around me now."
"Chu Chu, you and I both know that she is not the second sister, but I won't allow anyone to bully her."
"To tell you the truth, I bribed the maid who disfigured Gu Qingrong today. Second sister was too merciful. Whatever she didn't want to do, I will do it for her."
Chu Chu's eyes were filled with tears, and she spoke incoherently: "Third Miss...you...you have really grown up."
"Gu Qingrong, just by hearing the name, I know that Gu Shenzhi has high hopes for her. Now that her hopes are dashed, Gu Shenzhi has to support me even if he is reluctant."
"Miss, you are very wise. I heard that Madam and Master are rushing non-stop from Yizhou to the capital."
"When the second young lady brought the lady's cousin to Yizhou, a rift arose between the lady and the master. Later, the eldest young lady won the top three in the selection of young ladies, and the lady and the master reconciled."
