"Second sister, you seem to have grown taller."
Gu Shan suddenly spoke.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Really? I'm half a year older than Third Sister, but I'm half a head shorter than her. I was worried before that I wouldn't grow taller. Now it seems that I will grow taller too. Thank you, Fourth Sister."
Gu Shan pursed her lips and smiled. "I thought my second sister was sad every day because she was performing rituals at Tianmen Temple, but I didn't expect that she has not only grown taller, but also whiter. It seems that the food at Tianmen Temple is very nourishing."
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows. What a great Gu Shan! It turned out that she was waiting for her here.
Gu Shan openly said that she had grown taller and whiter, but in fact she was accusing her of pretending to perform a ritual for her deceased mother Su, but really going out to travel and enjoy the scenery.
This is really unfilial!
Xie nodded secretly, Shan'er was still smart.
Gu Yue bit her lip, unwilling to be left behind, and said, "Second sister is indeed a lot whiter. The last time I saw her, her face was sallow. I didn't expect that after being away for a few days, she had become whiter.
Is the food at Tianmen Temple better than the food at the Governor's Mansion? I'll go to Tianmen Temple tomorrow to try it and see if it's really more nourishing than the food at the Governor's Mansion.
The eldest daughter, Gu Zhen, and the fifth daughter, Gu Lin, both lowered their heads and remained silent.
The second sister (older sister) had just sat down when she started making a scene. I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm next.
Qingmei and her maids were very angry. The man in the upper room couldn't stand seeing his daughter doing well, and he wished he could make her fall to the ground so that he could step on her hard.
Xie put down her teacup and glanced at Gu Jiu indifferently, "Second girl, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but when you're out and about, and you're performing a ritual for your deceased mother, even if your heart isn't sincere, you should at least hide it. If you're so blatant, won't you tell everyone you're unfilial?"
Xie emphasized the words "you are unfilial".
Xie was clearly eager to prove that Gu Jiu was unfilial.
As long as the charges are proven, I don’t believe the master will stand up for Gu Jiu in the future.
Gu Jiu glanced at Xie and clearly saw a vicious and complacent light flashing in Xie's eyes.
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled sarcastically.
Then, she raised her head, her expression calm, and pointed the finger directly at Gu Shan, "Fourth sister, I thought you were the most intelligent of the sisters, but I didn't expect you to make such a childish and ridiculous mistake. You also embarrassed Third sister and the wife."
Gu Yue's expression changed, "Second sister, I don't like what you said."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Let me apologize to Third Sister first. I shouldn't have said in front of everyone that you are not as smart as Fourth Sister."
Gu Shan was anxious. What a good second sister! She was trying to sow discord between them. She was even trying to sow discord between her and her mother.
She hurriedly looked towards Gu Yue.
However, Gu Yue looked away, snorted inwardly, and did not make eye contact with Gu Shan.
Gu Shan knew very well that Gu Yue was angry.
She knew better than anyone how stingy Gu Yue was and how much he disliked her.
Gu Shan looked at Xie again.
Xie's expression was indifferent, and she didn't even look at her.
Gu Shan felt a little flustered.
She opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but suddenly realized it was a trap. Her second sister had dug it, waiting for her to jump in.
If she refutes and explains, not only will the problem not be solved, but she will also be stuck in the pit and unable to get out.
In this way, I really fell into my second sister's trap.
Gu Shan calmed herself down and said calmly, "Second sister, I know you are smart, and I am not as smart as you. I shouldn't show off my skills in front of you. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me. I admit my mistake."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows. Gu Shan’s reaction was indeed quick enough.
But she won't let him go easily.
Since Gu Shan dared to provoke a war, he must be prepared to bear the consequences.
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Shan with a half-smile, "Fourth sister, you are really smart. You woke up so quickly and realized the mistake in your words."
Gu Shan widened her eyes and wanted to speak, but Gu Jiu spoke first.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, then said softly, "Even a three-year-old child knows that it's impossible for a person to grow taller in just three to five days, and it's even more impossible for their skin color to become white in a short period of time.
The reason why I grew taller and whiter was naturally because my father and wife were particularly concerned about me during this period. They instructed the kitchen not to make things difficult for Zhilanyuan and to try their best to meet all my requirements.
Speaking of this, I can't help but think of the past. At that time, Taohong was still working at Zhilanyuan, and my desire to eat a bite of snow pear stewed with white fungus was just wishful thinking.
I wanted to ask the kitchen to make two side dishes to improve the meal, but unfortunately I was short of money and couldn't afford it.
Gradually, my health deteriorated, my face became increasingly pale, and I drank poisonous medicine every day. I almost died. Thanks to my father and wife, I was able to escape death and be reborn.
After saying this, Gu Jiu bowed to Mrs. Xie and said, "Thank you, Madam, for caring so much about me. You specifically instructed the storeroom and kitchen to meet all my needs, and helped my health gradually improve. I am always grateful in my heart."
Xie was in a very bad state.
What a little bitch!
She said with a forced smile, "The second girl is able to take good care of herself and is grateful, so all my efforts have not been in vain."
Gu Jiu bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your hard work. It has helped me recover and allowed me to go to Tianmen Temple to perform rituals for my mother and pay my respects to her, fulfilling my filial duty as a son. I believe that if my mother's spirit knew that Madam cared so much about me, she would be very happy."
After saying that, Gu Jiu smiled sweetly at Xie.
This smile stimulated Xie so much that she almost lost control and was about to explode on the spot.
Xie took a deep breath and laughed out of anger, "It's a pity that your mother passed away so early. Yue'er was just born at that time, and you were only half a year old. I'm sure your mother must have been very unwilling to leave.
It's such a pity that I can't watch you grow up. Let alone other things, your marriage alone is enough to make me worry. I don't know what kind of family you will marry into in the future."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, laughing at Xie's self-righteousness.
If she were the original owner, she would probably be depressed because of what Xie said, and feel sorry for Su, wondering how she could have been defeated by this woman named Xie.
But she is not the original owner, she came from another time.
Therefore, she could face any topic about the Su family calmly.
Gu Jiu said softly, "It's my fault for making Madam worry about all this. My father will take care of my marriage. Madam, just focus on arranging the marriages of my third and fourth sisters and don't worry about mine. I think with my father's eyes, those little cats and dogs will never be able to enter the Gu family's gate."
Xie snorted inwardly. Gu Jiu was clearly making a veiled attack. Comparing Xie Xian to a cat or a dog was outrageous!
If Xie Xian is just a nobody, then what is the Xie family, and what is she?
snort!
Gu Jiu was still dreaming that the marriage was out of her control. She was dreaming.
Even if Gu Jiu cannot be married to Xie Xian, she must be married to another poor man.
At worst, I can just choose a marriage in the capital.
I don't believe that I can't convince the master.
Mrs. Xie said to Gu Jiu, "You are too naive, child. The master is busy with official duties and has no time to arrange a marriage for you. You should stop imagining it. Tomorrow, I will choose a good marriage for you and make you happy."
Gu Jiu smiled faintly, "How dare I trouble my wife, let alone delay my father's official duties. When my brother gets married, my sister-in-law will take care of it for me, and my father will just have to keep an eye on it."
Mrs. Xie shook her head. "Second girl, you think things are too simple. It will take forever for Sanlang to get married. You are a girl, your youth is limited, and you can't afford to waste it."
Gu Jiu looked up at Mrs. Xie and said, "Third sister and I are only half a year apart in age. Madam is so focused on arranging my marriage, what about Third sister? Is Madam planning to just find a random family and send her away? That would be so unfair to Third sister."
Gu Yue was so angry that she glared at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu ignored Gu Yue and continued, "If Madam is so focused on arranging Third Sister's wedding, how can she take care of mine at the same time? Could it be that Madam is planning to just find a random family and send me away? Madam loves Third Sister, but she is wronging me. How can this be justified?"
As soon as Gu Ji finished speaking, the room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Gu Zhen and Gu Lin were secretly shocked. Gu Jiu was too bold. Wasn’t he afraid that his wife would be angry?
Gu Yue widened her eyes. She never expected that Gu Jiu would be so bold to say that.
Who gave her the courage?
Everyone looked at Xie secretly.
Xie's expression was so tense that she was about to explode.
