Two days later, the Xie family father and son left Jinzhou in disgrace.
Xie never showed up.
Mrs. Xie is now in a difficult situation. She dare not leave the house to see the second master Xie at this time, for fear of angering Lord Gu.
Only the maid Chunhe was sent to accompany the Xie father and son.
"Master, the Madam cannot leave the house, and she ordered me to deliver this gift."
Chunhe handed over a bundle, which contained silver, a letter, and some dry food.
Mr. Xie's face was gloomy.
He has been frowning for the past two days.
He asked, "How is your wife?"
Chun He shook her head slightly. "Madam is in a bad situation. Master is furious. And the master has been staying in Aunt Bai's room for the past two days. Madam is furious."
snort!
Master Xie uttered a sound of dissatisfaction through his nose.
"Tell your wife that what I told her last time must be done as soon as possible. Someone will help her when the time comes. As for the confiscated property, it must have fallen into Gu Zhili's hands. As long as there is a chance, you must let your wife take those properties back."
Chunhe lowered his head, looking embarrassed.
Master Xie glared, "Do you remember what I said?"
Chun He bravely said, "Uncle, please don't embarrass my wife. Since my uncle came, my wife has been scolded by him several times.
In the past, the mistress and the master loved each other very much, and everything went smoothly. But in the past two months, everything has gone wrong, as if they have been unlucky.
Upon hearing this, Second Master Xie flew into a rage and stared at Chun He. "You mean to say that your wife's bad luck is all my fault? Is that your opinion, or your wife's?"
Chun He whispered, "I dare to ask my uncle to understand my wife."
Second Master Xie snorted coldly, "That's pure nonsense. Your wife is so inconsiderate, yet she has the nerve to put the blame on me."
Chunhe said nothing.
Master Xie laughed sarcastically, took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Chunhe, "Give this letter to your wife."
Chunhe hesitated and didn't dare to reach out to take the letter.
Mr. Xie was not angry either. He said calmly, "Take it and don't drop it. This is a letter sent from the capital."
Upon hearing that it was a letter sent from the capital, Chunhe quickly reached out, took the letter, and put it close to his body.
There were cries of pain coming from the car, and Xie Xian was screaming in pain again.
Master Xie was worried and quickly opened the car door and asked, "Silang, does the wound hurt again?"
Xie Xian tried hard to open his eyes wide, staring at Chunhe with a venomous look.
Chun He shuddered, "Cousin Master?"
Xie Xian looks very miserable now.
His face was swollen, and at first glance, it looked like a big, shiny bun, which was extremely miserable.
He lay in the car, unable to move. He opened his mouth and said word by word: "Tell my aunt to be careful of Gu Jiu. This woman is cruel and ruthless, and she is not a good person."
Chun He bowed slightly, "Thank you for the reminder, young master."
Xie Xian wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
He just muttered, "One day sooner or later, I will make Gu Jiu wish he could neither live nor die."
Chunhe felt disdainful when he heard this.
She secretly despised Xie Xian. He couldn't even handle a frail little girl, so how could he have the nerve to talk about revenge? It was just empty talk.
But the second girl is really amazing, she actually injured Xie Xian so badly.
I don’t know what methods the second girl used, but even the master stood up for her and confiscated the Xie family’s property in Jinzhou.
There were yamen runners wandering around nearby, apparently urging the Xie father and son to leave Jinzhou quickly.
Master Xie looked at the yamen runner with a resentful look.
What a great Lord Gu Zhili is! He really doesn't show any mercy at all.
"Shiro, let's go!"
Mr. Xie got on the car and set off for the capital.
Chunhe took an ox cart back to the governor's mansion.
…
These past two days, Mrs. Xie has been feeling sick and has been in low spirits.
Even with Gu Yue and Gu Shan by her side, it was difficult for her to smile.
This made Gu Yue and Gu Shan very cautious. They sat upright on their chairs, not daring to make any sound, for fear of upsetting Mrs. Xie.
This time, Gu Yue was able to end her house arrest early because Xie was reprimanded by Master Gu. As a daughter, she must show her filial piety to Xie at this time.
Although Xie was still furious, she had not lost her mind.
No matter how angry she was, she still had to protect her daughter's reputation.
If Gu Yue continued to remain under house arrest, others would inevitably overthink things. All sorts of speculation and discussion would be detrimental to Gu Yue's reputation.
What he feared most was that the news of Gu Yue and Xie Xian’s private relationship would get out.
Therefore, Gu Yue had to show up and fulfill his filial duty in front of Mrs. Xie.
Chuncao walked into the house carrying a bowl of health-preserving soup.
Gu Yue stood up and said to Chuncao, "Leave it to me."
She took the soup bowl from Chuncao, blew on it a few times, and then called softly, "Mother, the health-preserving soup is ready. Your daughter will serve you some soup."
Xie opened her eyes, looked at Gu Yue, and nodded secretly.
After the last lesson, Yue'er has become much more mature and stable.
Not bad, not bad.
She is worthy of being the daughter she taught so carefully.
I think it was just a moment of confusion that caused me to get entangled with Xie Xian.
Xie waved her hand and Chuncao bowed and left.
Mrs. Xie asked, "Yuer, have you copied the family rules?"
Gu Yue held the soup bowl in both hands and said respectfully, "Mother, I have copied the family rules fifty times."
Mrs. Xie smiled, a rare moment. "Fifty times is enough. I hope you can appreciate my painstaking efforts by copying the family rules."
Gu Yue looked at Xie, her eyes moist with admiration, "A daughter is causing her mother to worry, which is really unfilial. From now on, I will be careful with my words and actions, and will not dare to make even the slightest mistake."
Mrs. Xie nodded with satisfaction. "If you can think this way, then my painstaking teaching has not been in vain. Leave the health-preserving soup here. It's so tiring to carry it."
"Thank you, mother."
Gu Yue put down the soup bowl, wiped the corners of her eyes, and then laughed again.
"I am really happy to receive my mother's forgiveness."
"Silly child, you are still a stranger to me."
After Xie finished speaking, she pulled Gu Yue to sit beside her.
Gu Yue sat close to Xie, just like countless times in the past. The mother and daughter snuggled together without any grudges, appearing intimate and enviable.
But Gu Shan could see that it was different, obviously different from before.
The smile on Gu Yue's face looked so fake in her eyes.
Even though our bodies were so close, it felt strange and a little stiff.
Gu Shan was sure that Gu Yue already had some grudge in her heart.
After being spoiled for fourteen years, I suddenly realized that my mother's love is conditional.
How could someone as proud as Gu Yue accept it calmly? And how could he be as close to his mother from the bottom of his heart as before?
Gu Yue glanced at Gu Shan with a complicated look.
Gu Shan hurriedly lowered her head, pretending to know nothing.
Gu Yue smiled, and her smile became happier and more charming, with a little girl's cuteness in it.
Chunhe walked into the upper room with the summer heat.
"Chun He is back."
"Meet the madam."
Xie let go of Gu Yue.
Gu Yue sat down on the chair obediently, then secretly glared at Gu Shan.
Gu Shan looked innocent.
Gu Yue snorted inwardly: Fourth sister, just wait for me.
Chun He bowed and said, "Madam, my uncle and my cousin have already left Jinzhou."
"Yeah?"
Xie's expression was indifferent. "Did the uncle say anything?"
Chunhe hesitated for a moment.
Xie understood and said, "Yuer, Shaner, you two can go back first."
"Mother, take care of yourself. I will take my leave now."
The two sisters stood up and said goodbye, leaving the upper room together.
After the two sisters left, Chun He whispered, "Madam, my uncle said that the matter he mentioned last time must be handled as soon as possible."
Xie raised an eyebrow, "Anything else?"
Chun He continued, "My uncle also told my wife to seize the property as soon as she gets the chance."
Xie's face was filled with sarcasm. "Second brother is still stubborn. Even now, he's still dreaming of taking the property back. He hasn't considered that once something falls into Master's pocket, can it be taken back just by wanting to?"
Xie complained a lot and became more depressed.
Chun He hurriedly took out the letter and said, "My uncle asked me to give this letter to Madam, saying it was sent from the capital."
When Xie heard that it was a letter from the capital, she immediately sat up.
She tore open the envelope, took out the letter and looked at it carefully.
After reading it, Xie breathed a sigh of relief and her expression relaxed.
Then she took out a tinder and lit the letter.
The letter paper suddenly caught fire, and the flames grew bigger and bigger.
In the light of the fire, Xie showed a meaningful smile.
