Chapter 376: The eldest sister-in-law supports the family (2)
"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Yue'er, who was accompanying her, felt that her young lady seemed to have become complicated. The look she gave her just now was so "loving". But her young lady was only half a year older than her, why did she look at her like that?
"Is your indenture in the hands of the Madam?" Shi Yi stared at her without blinking, making her a little nervous.
Yue'er swallowed her saliva and said, "Yes. The indentures of all the maids and servants of the Gu family are with the Madam. Why did the young lady suddenly ask this?"
"The young lady is about to get married, and as my right-hand man, you naturally have to go with me. Of course, I have to get your indenture back for you." Shi Yi touched the little sister's chubby face, sighing at how smooth her skin was, and how clear her eyes were, which reminded her of a little deer lost in the mountain stream.
Yue'er looked at the other person with tears in her eyes, with thousands of words in her heart but unable to say a word. When she was old and thought back to today again, she suddenly realized that the most beautiful woman in Tokyo who would become famous in the future already had the skin of a beauty, but it was just covered up by her taciturn and quiet appearance.
"Don't say anything, not a word." Shi Yi gently wiped the tears from her cheeks and sighed, "Don't believe what others say, but look at their real actions, understand?"
Yue'er nodded obediently, indicating that she understood. But she couldn't stop her tears, and they fell one by one on the carriage.
After hearing what was said in the carriage, the butler changed his mind about the eldest lady. He thought that maybe the former mistress was blessing the eldest lady in heaven, so that she suddenly became sensible at this juncture.
It's just a pity that the master has made up his mind, and the eldest lady must marry into the Weihou Mansion. No, the Weihou Mansion has now been stripped of its title. It's just the Wei Mansion. In fact, even if the eldest daughter ran away, there are still the second daughter, the third daughter, and the fourth daughter in the mansion, all of whom are girls of the right age. But who
made the eldest daughter the least favored! After returning to the Gu Mansion, Shi Yi was immediately invited by the servant to Gu Changchang's study. She knew that Gu Changchang must be in a rage now, and she would be punished or scolded if she went there. Yue'er also knew it, so she didn't want her to go.
The maids and servants in the mansion who knew about it also knew it, so they looked at her with a hint of pity unconsciously.
But she came back on her own initiative because she thought of these. The wedding date she and the Wei family had agreed on was imminent, and even if Gu Changchang was angry, he would not punish her particularly harshly. She patted Yue'er's hand, signaling her not to worry about herself. Yue'er's eyes were red, and she dared not speak.
The housekeeper looked at her back as she left, sighed slightly in his heart, and had a few more worries that he didn't even know about.
"You rebellious girl." Shi Yi just walked into the study, and was hit on the head by the cup thrown by Gu Changchang. The bright red blood slowly flowed down from her forehead.
"Shi Yi greets father." She bowed slightly and stood behind him.
Gu Changchang turned his head to look at her. His eyes did not seem to be looking at his own child, but rather carried a hint of hostile scrutiny.
"Since you have already run away, why don't you run further? Never come back!" He almost yelled at the last sentence.
"My daughter came back for herself." She lowered her eyes slightly and let the blood fall down her eyelashes onto her cheeks. The bright red bloodstains meandered all the way down.
Gu Changchang glanced at her, turned his back, and still could not hide his anger in his voice, "Why didn't you think about this matter clearly before doing it?!"
"Maybe my daughter was possessed by a demon at that time." Shi Yi lightly passed on the topic, waiting for Gu Changchang's punishment.
"Go to the Mingtang and kneel down." Gu Changchang's words were so powerful that no one could refuse them. "The day you get married is the day you come out."
The original date of the wedding was the day after tomorrow. Shi Yi thought about it. Two days and two nights were not too long or too short. She could endure it, so she did not argue. Her long feather eyelashes trembled, and she whispered "yes" and retreated to the door.
After she walked a long way, Gu Changchang called the housekeeper and told him to secretly punish the servants in the mansion who knew about the eldest daughter's escape from marriage.
The embarrassed look of the eldest daughter of the Gu family coming out of the study pleased the second, third and fourth daughters in the Gu mansion. But they were still not satisfied. When they walked by Shi Yi, they whispered softly or heavily:
"How could our Gu family give birth to such an unfilial daughter?"
"Dad was too lenient this time. Is he worried that she will get married the day after tomorrow?"
"Look at her, like a dead wood, so depressed. It's her blessing to be able to marry Wei Yang."
Shi Yi ignored the three "sisters" and went straight to the Mingtang.
The news that the eldest daughter of the Gu family was punished had spread throughout the mansion, and Yue'er was waiting at the door of the Mingtang early. She heard that the young lady was injured by the master, but when she saw the blood on Shi Yi's face, her heart still ached.
"Why did the master hit her so hard?" Yue'er wiped her hands very gently, with tears in her eyes and trembling lips, as if she was the injured.
"It doesn't hurt." Shi Yi saw that she was about to cry again, and hurriedly held her wrist and took the handkerchief himself.
When she lowered her eyes, she was thinking deeply about Gu Changchang's action of throwing a cup at her. According to the force and distance of Gu Changchang's throwing, she couldn't actually be hurt. The reason why she was so seriously injured was that he deliberately hit her with force.
"Miss, you should go in." Yang Yonghua's dowry nanny stood at the door meticulously, supervising her.
This nanny rarely showed up. It seems that Yang Yonghua was afraid that she would run away again and implicate her daughter. Thinking of this, she chuckled. This smile, in Yue'er's eyes, was more bitter.
"Miss, don't be afraid. I will always be with you outside." Yue'er widened her round almond eyes and patted her chest hard to promise. Yue'er was also afraid of Madam Yang, so she didn't dare to look at her.
"Go and do your own thing. I can do it myself." Shi Yi touched her chubby face and walked towards the quiet and solemn Mingtang.
Mingtang is the ancestral hall of the Gu family. Only the descendants of the Gu family are allowed to enter. All maids and servants must stop outside the door.
Madam Yang's eyes were like a dry well, without any ripples. She walked to the front of the futon and consciously closed the door.
The Mingtang, which originally had a ray of light, became completely dark. Shi Yi knelt on the futon, straightened his upper body and gently closed his eyes. The smell of burning incense and candles raged in her nose, and her hearing began to become stronger. She heard the subtle crackling sound of the burning incense in the corner, the footsteps of Madam Yang leaving, and Yue'er's soft sobbing at the door.
There was also the sound of gentle breathing that quietly appeared beside him.
