Listening to the noise on the shore, Liu Zhao said, "It seems the quarrel has ended."
"Is the quarrel over?"
Gu Jiu stretched his head and looked towards the shore, "I have to leave immediately."
"I'll take you wherever you're going."
Gu Jiu's eyebrows twitched, and he really disliked Liu Zhao from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Liu. I want to go back to shore."
Liu Zhao asked bluntly, "If we go back to shore directly, aren't we afraid of being exposed?"
Gu Jiu: Haha!
Please don't be so direct, okay?
What does it mean to expose?
She is clearly the victim.
Liu Zhao had an expressionless face, but a hint of smile glimmered in his eyes.
He said, "Why don't I help you?"
Gu Jiu shook his head repeatedly, "Thank you, Master Liu. I have arranged people on the shore to ensure that everything is safe."
Liu Zhao suddenly frowned, "So, you still want to go into the water?"
Gu Jiu nodded.
Liu Zhao was unhappy.
As for why I was unhappy, I didn't know. I was just unhappy.
"You don't need to get into the water. This boat is left to you."
Gu Jiu was surprised, "What are you going to do?"
Liu Zhao snorted coldly, his eyes becoming even colder.
"I have my own way. You don't need to worry about it."
Gu Jiu: "..."
The royal family is indeed capricious. I can't afford to offend them! I can't afford to offend them!
The lotus leaves parted on both sides, and guard Zhao San appeared pushing a small boat.
Gu Jiu immediately understood. That's what it was.
Liu Zhao stood up and jumped onto another small boat.
The boat didn't shake at all.
Gu Jiu was very surprised. Could it be that Master Liu was good at light work and could fly high or low?
Liu Zhao turned around and looked at Gu Jiu with a look of disgust.
But when he saw Gu Jiu trembling, he couldn't help but frown.
"If you're weak, don't try to be brave. Self-torture tactics don't always work."
Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, then his eyebrows curved and he smiled again, "Thank you for your advice, Master Liu. This is your cloak. Thank you for today, Master Liu."
Liu Zhao stared at the cloak in Gu Jiu's hand with an increasingly disdainful look in his eyes. "You keep it."
After saying that, the boat cut through the water and paddled out like an arrow.
Gu Jiu was greatly surprised.
Guard Zhao San clung to the side of the boat and said, "Miss Gu, I'll take you back to shore."
Gu Jiu looked into the distance, turned a corner, and Liu Zhao disappeared.
She couldn't help but ask Zhao San curiously, "How does your young master make the boat move forward?"
Zhao San laughed. "Miss Gu wouldn't understand even if I told her. Please sit down."
Zhao San pushed the boat forward and came to the shore where there were few people.
He whispered, "Miss Gu, I'll take you here. Take care, Miss Gu."
Gu Jiu looked around and it was indeed a good place, secluded and deserted, but not too far from where she fell into the water.
It should be discovered soon.
She said to Zhao San, "Thank you for today, Guard Zhao. Please take this cloak back with you. If you leave it with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it clearly."
Zhao San looked at the cloak, hesitated for a moment, and then decisively reached out to take it.
The news that the young master had come to the General's Mansion must not be spread. The cloak was left in Miss Gu's hands, for fear that something might happen and expose the young master's whereabouts.
It would be better to let him deal with this cloak.
"Miss Gu, goodbye!"
Zhao San bowed and said goodbye, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Gu Jiu thought for a moment, scooped up a handful of water, and sprinkled it on his face, making himself look even more miserable and miserable.
Then she lay on the boat, waiting to be discovered.
After a while, someone really came.
"Come quickly, Miss Gu has found it."
A woman was the first to discover Gu Jiu.
Immediately afterwards, everyone rushed over.
"Girl! Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Qingmei threw herself on Gu Jiu.
Qingzhu, Xiaocui, and Jiangyan all gathered around the boat, effectively blocking everyone's view.
Gu Jiu opened his eyes and looked at Qingmei.
Qingmei cried loudly and nodded secretly to Gu Jiu.
It’s done!
Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, everyone heard Gu Jiu groaning in pain.
"Is everything okay, Second Girl?"
Mrs. Xie stood on the shore, very worried.
He tucked his hands into his sleeves, clenched his fists, and his veins bulged, but he was furious to the extreme.
Qingmei yelled, "Miss, you're finally awake. I was so scared I was afraid you'd be like last year, unconscious and in a coma for three days. You'd have a near-death experience, but the culprit was fine."
Gu Yue, who was standing on the shore, had a pale face.
She felt that everyone's eyes were looking at her, and everyone was pointing at her.
Gu Yue was angry and annoyed, and impulsively wanted to stand up and scold Qingmei.
Gu Shan was quick-witted and grabbed Gu Yue, shaking her head slightly.
"Third sister, no."
Gu Yue endured and endured until she finally suppressed the anger in her heart.
"Qingmei, don't talk nonsense." Gu Jiu scolded Qingmei sternly, but his voice was too weak and lacked momentum.
"I'm not talking nonsense." Qingmei argued loudly.
Gu Jiu looked exhausted, embarrassed, and weak. "You little maid, how can you be so ignorant? I have reminded you so many times that there are some things that you should pretend not to know even if you know them. Have you forgotten?"
oh!
The people on the shore all had an expression that said, "As expected."
The second daughter of the Gu family really knew who had pushed her into the water.
But her stepmother was the head of the household, and she, the stepdaughter, did not dare to tell the truth and seek justice for herself.
If Gu Yue hadn't been so reckless as to push the second daughter of the Gu family into the water again, the maid named Qingmei wouldn't have revealed the truth.
Everyone present thought they had grasped the truth of the matter.
And this is the "truth" that Gu Jiu wants.
Qingmei cried and said, "Miss, you are so humble, but what do you get? If you think I did something wrong, then punish me."
"You, let me tell you what to say."
Gu Jiu sighed softly, appearing even more weak and helpless.
She looked up at Xie on the shore and said, "Madam, please spare Qingmei. She was just too eager to protect her master, which is why she spoke without thinking. If you really want to punish me, why not punish me?"
After saying that, Gu Jiu lowered his head, looking like he was waiting to be punished.
Many people thought that the second daughter of the Gu family, as a stepdaughter, had indeed suffered a lot of grievances. It is conceivable that the second daughter of the Gu family must have had a very difficult time in the mansion.
Xie's eyes were gentle and loving. "Second girl, what are you talking about? Hurry up and get up! You're soaked! Go to your room and change your wet clothes."
You are already weak, what will happen if you get sick? You maids, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help the second young lady up."
Qingmei and Qingzhu helped Gu Jiu ashore together.
Gu Jiu bowed to Mrs. Xie and said, "It's my fault for causing Madam to worry."
Mrs. Xie sighed, "You child, you really make me worry all day long. Even though it's summer, you should still be careful when chatting and playing with your sisters.
Look, you've fallen into the water. Go change your clothes.
If you feel any discomfort, please remember to tell us.
Don't be like last year, when you didn't feel well and didn't even tell the doctor. It kept getting worse, and my husband and I were getting really worried."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled slightly.
Xie was trying to confuse the public and clear Gu Yue's name, blaming Gu Jiu for falling into the water and becoming seriously ill last year on Gu Jiu himself.
Unfortunately it's too late.
Now everyone knows that it was Gu Yue who sent someone to push Gu Jiu into the water last year. This matter cannot be washed away no matter how hard you try.
Gu Jiu leaned on Qingmei, she really had no strength left.
At this time, she didn't need to pretend to be weak, because she was already weak.
She said weakly, "Thank you for your teachings, Madam. I will keep them in mind. Qingmei, I'm cold."
Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew.
Gu Jiu couldn't help but shiver twice, looking even more pitiful.
It is human nature to sympathize with the weak.
At this time, the balance in everyone's heart tilted towards Gu Jiu.
"Miss, I will help you to your room."
Qingmei spoke while crying, supporting Gu Jiu and walking slowly forward.
Xie's eyes showed worry, and she immediately ordered, "Chunhe, you follow and serve the second young lady well."
Chunhe bowed and accepted the order.
The prefect's wife, Mrs. Cai, also said, "Come here, two people, to serve Miss Gu well. Also, take my letter and invite the doctor. Everyone else, please disperse."
The crowd gradually dispersed.
