Gu Jiu looked at Tao Hong without saying anything.
Taohong felt uneasy, as if something was out of control.
"Girl, you..."
"Xiao Cui, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help me drink the medicine."
Gu Jiu interrupted Tao Hong swiftly and reminded Xiao Cui who was standing there stupidly.
Xiao Cui was trembling with fear, Oh my God, what happened today.
The girl seemed to be targeting Sister Taohong.
But why is this?
Xiao Cui stretched out her hand and said, "Sister Taohong, you've been tired all morning, so let me help the young lady drink the medicine."
Taohong had a frosty look on her face. She took two deep breaths and then handed the medicine bowl to Xiaocui.
"Girl, take your medicine!" Xiao Cui looked uneasy.
Gu Jiu smiled at Xiao Cui and said, "Come closer."
Xiao Cui approached her with the bowl of medicine.
Gu Jiu took the small silver spoon and fed a mouthful of medicine into his mouth.
puff!
In a blink of an eye, Gu Jiu sprayed the medicine out again and sprayed it on Taohong.
Taohong jumped up, took a handkerchief and hurriedly cleaned the stain on her clothes.
Xiao Cui was worried, nervous, and at a loss, "Girl, what's wrong with you? Why did you vomit?"
Gu Jiu didn't say a word, just raised his hand and overturned the medicine bowl in Xiao Cui's hand.
Bang!
The medicine bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, splashing the medicine all over, and neither Xiao Cui nor Tao Hong was spared.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Tao Hong yelled at Gu Jiu. She had had enough.
Gu Jiu, contrary to her usual behavior, threw herself on the bed and burst into tears, "I've seen it a long time ago. You all want me to die. So why should I drink the medicine?"
Xiao Cui panicked, "Miss, don't let your imagination run wild. I'll go boil another bowl of medicine for you."
Tears blurred Gu Jiu's eyes. She looked up at the two of them, her pale and thin face looking weak.
"What medicine do you need to boil? I'm dying. Does it matter whether I take the medicine or not? Xiao Cui, go get the white silk. Today I'll let those heartless bastards have their way. I'm just a burden if I'm alive anyway."
thump!
Taohong knelt down suddenly, and from the sound, she felt pain in her knees.
Taohong's eyes were filled with tears, but she showed no sign of fear. "Miss, are you trying to force me to death? Since I came to Zhilan Court, I have been serving you wholeheartedly. I don't know what I did wrong to cause you to dislike me, and you are actually threatening me with death."
Gu Jiu, however, burst into tears, "You are all so hypocritical, giving me life-threatening medicine to drink all day long, and still dare to say that you are serving me wholeheartedly.
I, a daughter of the Governor's family, was held hostage by a servant girl. In such a vast Governor's family, there was no place for me. What was the point of living?
"Xiao Cui, are you dead? Hurry and bring me the white silk. I will die today, and let you, Tao Hong, be happy and become the proper mistress of Zhilan Courtyard."
"Girl, you can't do that!" Xiao Cui screamed with fear, her face pale.
Gu Jiu was furious. He pointed at Xiao Cui and angrily said, "Even you don't listen to me. I know that in Zhilan Courtyard, I am just a decoration. All of you listen to Taohong. Taohong is your master. In this case, I should die. I will make room for you."
After saying that, Gu Jiu crashed into the porcelain pillow.
But in her heart she was shouting, "Xiao Cui, you've got to be strong! I'm weak, if I really hit it headfirst, I'm afraid I'll be covered in blood."
Oh, oh, oh…
It hurts to hit your head, and she is most afraid of pain.
"girl……"
Xiao Cui was so frightened that her heart and liver were about to burst. She had no time to stop the girl, so she threw herself directly onto the porcelain pillow and used it as a pillow for the girl.
Gu Jiu bumped into Xiao Cui's back, his eyes sparkled, and he covered his forehead in pain.
Tears fell down in a pitter-patter, it hurt so much, so much, but she kept shouting, "Let me die! If I die, you will all be satisfied. You won't have to rack your brains to find ways to kill me..."
"Miss, you want to force me to death. I'd rather die first!" Taohong cried.
Gu Jiu pointed at her and said, "Go to hell! Are you willing to die?"
Taohong's face flushed red as she knelt on the ground, not knowing what to do for a moment. It was all because Gu Jiu wasn't playing by the rules. A patient who was nearly dying suddenly started acting up. What should she do? Taohong was also desperate!
…
"Oh no! The girl is trying to commit suicide! Report this to the madam immediately!"
Qingzhu quickly dropped the work at hand and ran out in a hurry.
Qingmei hurried back and met Qingzhu on the way. "Why are you running so fast?"
"The girl is trying to commit suicide. I will go and report this to the mistress."
"What?"
Qingmei didn't have time to think about it, and hurried towards Zhilanyuan with a bag of medicinal herbs.
Mrs. Xie had a long face, willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, fair skin and beautiful features. She was not yet forty years old, but because she took good care of herself, she looked no more than thirty.
She came from a poor family and was originally just Mr. Gu's concubine.
Later, his first wife, Mrs. Su, passed away.
At that time, the Su family ran into trouble and Su's father was dismissed. But Xie's eldest brother had a change of fortune and was appreciated by the higher-ups. He was appointed as the Minister of the Crown Prince's Office and was highly regarded by the Crown Prince.
Lord Gu did not hesitate at all and immediately made Xie his wife.
From then on, the Xie family rose rapidly, while the Su family gradually declined.
Xie's status in the Gu family also rose accordingly, and no one could shake her position as the mistress.
In addition, Xie gave birth to two sons and two daughters for Lord Gu, so she was truly a blessed person.
At this time, Xie was taking care of the household accounts with the maids.
"There's all this noise outside, what's going on?"
Xie asked.
"I'll go out and take a look." The maid Chunhe hurried out.
After a while, Chun He walked in with a look of panic on her face, "Madam, something bad has happened. Qing Zhu from Zhilan Courtyard has reported that the second young lady is attempting suicide."
Bang!
Xie threw the abacus in her hand on the table, "Really?"
Chun He nodded, "This is absolutely true, Qing Zhu saw it with his own eyes."
Xie frowned, "Have you ever asked why the second young lady wanted to commit suicide?"
Chun He whispered, "The second girl said that someone wanted to harm her, so she decided to end it herself and satisfy the person who wanted to harm her."
Mrs. Xie said with a stern face, "This is simply nonsense. All of you come with me to take a look. Don't let the second young lady do anything rash."
"yes!"
At the same time that Xie led her people to Zhilan Courtyard, Lord Gu Zhili also happened to be returning home from the yamen.
The servant Li Chuan was waiting at the gatehouse. "Master, something happened."
Master Gu stared at Li Chuan, "Aren't you serving the Third Young Master? Is something wrong with the Third Young Master?"
"It's not the Third Young Master who's in trouble, it's the Second Young Lady. The Second Young Lady is trying to commit suicide."
“Nonsense!”
Gu Zhili's expression darkened, looking particularly frightening, as he strode towards Zhilan Courtyard. Behind him followed a string of servants and stewards.
Li Chuan was about to follow, but Master Ma suddenly stopped him, "Does the second young lady really want to commit suicide?"
Li Chuan nodded, "Absolutely true!"
Master Ma pondered for a moment, feeling that something was amiss. A girl who was usually quiet and collected, suddenly becoming restless, must have some hidden agenda.
Master Ma said to Li Chuan, "Call your young master as well."
Li Chuan was stunned.
Master Ma glared at her, "What are you still standing there for? Your sister is trying to commit suicide, and you, as her brother, don't show up. What will the adults think if they find out?"
Li Chuan suddenly understood, "Thank you Master Ma for your guidance. I will go and call my young master right away."
Xie brought a large group of people to Zhilan Courtyard, but unexpectedly, she met Lord Gu at the door.
Xie secretly said that this was not good.
"Why is the master here?"
Lord Gu had a serious expression on his face, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry.
"The second girl is trying to commit suicide. I want to see what she is up to."
After saying that, Lord Gu flicked his sleeves and walked into Zhilan Courtyard first.
Xie hurried to follow.
As soon as Lord Gu reached the bedroom door, he heard crying and shouting from inside.
"Girl, why are you so stupid! If you die, won't that black-hearted bastard be satisfied?"
Master Gu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the second girl has already...
Without waiting for notification, Lord Gu rushed into the bedroom.
