Chapter 805: My cousin is reborn and wants to snatch my marriage (14)
Gu Shiyao was speechless after being asked a series of questions by Zhou. She had lived in the Marquis of Qi Yang's Mansion all her life in her previous life and thought she knew the place like the back of her hand and that doing anything she wanted would be a piece of cake. However, she didn't know that even if she knew the Marquis of Qi Yang's Mansion as well as she did in her previous life, her plans and calculations would not be perfect. Look at her now, isn't it because she is too self-righteous and she is reaping the consequences?
For a moment, she was filled with regret and pain. Thinking that she would become a laughing stock in the capital after today, and that she might miss her chance to marry Tang Buqing, she felt so miserable that she wanted to die. Why did she end up in a more miserable state than her previous life after living a new life? There was no possibility for the future. Was she going to have to watch the ancient husbands and wives become rich and powerful and trample her underfoot?
Oh, right, Gu Shichu... Gu Shiyao suddenly remembered her cousin whom she had envied, hated and envied all her life in her previous life. Her eyes suddenly widened, and she suddenly grabbed Zhou's skirt and said ferociously: "Gu Shichu! She must have harmed me! Why is she fine, but I was the one who was seen fooling around with others? She must have found out and turned around to harm me! Mother, you must help me get revenge! Don't let her go..."
Zhou was frightened by Gu Shiyao's hideous and distorted expression, but after hearing her daughter's words, her face turned cold. She naturally did not think that the helpless Gu Shichu had the ability to plot against her daughter in the Qi Yang Marquis' Mansion. She just felt that her daughter had suffered so much, but Gu Shichu was unharmed. She felt unfair in her heart, so she wanted to take advantage of the situation to punish Gu Shichu. What's more, Gu Shichu had a history of complaining to the Duke last time.
So she squinted her eyes, used her eyelids to cover the fierce light in her eyes, and ordered the maid: "Go and bring the third young lady to me, I have something to ask her!"
The old woman took the order and left, and Gu Shichu was brought over soon.
When Gu Shiyao saw her, it was as if she had seen her lifelong enemy. She rushed over and wanted to hit her, and asked: "Gu Shichu! Did you hurt me? I won't let you go..."
Gu Shichu dodged nimbly and avoided Gu Shiyao who was rushing towards him. Gu Shiyao tried too hard when rushing and failed to pounce on Gu Shichu, so he used too much force and stumbled and fell.
"Yao'er! Gu San, why don't you support Yao'er? You are indeed a heartless ungrateful person!" Zhou hurriedly pulled her daughter up from the ground and cursed Gu Shichu coldly.
What they talked about at this moment could not be known to outsiders, so the maids and old women were driven out, and Zhou could only pull her daughter up by herself.
"Aunt, what do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Shichu ignored her unreasonable behavior and asked directly.
Zhou and Gu Shiyao were furious when they saw her calm face, as if today's events had nothing to do with her.
"Gu Shichu, tell me, was it you who caused Yao'er to be insulted?" Zhou asked Gu Shichu viciously.
Gu Shichu immediately acted as if in disbelief, shaking his head and asking, "Aunt, why do you think of me like this? How could I have the ability to plot against my elder sister in the Marquis of Qiyang's mansion?"
Zhou choked. She naturally didn't believe Gu Shichu's ability, but what if? So she kept a straight face and continued coldly: "Who knows if you, little hoof, have found other helpers? After all, your personality has changed a lot during this period of time."
Gu Shichu certainly knew that her changes would be discovered by others, but she only changed her personality a little. She fought for some benefits in this mansion to make herself live more comfortably, and she did not do anything else deviant. Even if Zhou felt that something was wrong with her, she would never think that this person had a new soul, so she was not afraid at all.
"Aunt, if you don't believe me, you can check it out. I have been at home these days anyway. Even when I went to the Wanfo Temple to burn incense, I went with my elder sister. I came back early. How could I have time to find any help?" Gu Shichu said innocently with a frank expression.
"Hmph, I will naturally investigate this matter, there is no need for you to remind me!" Zhou was furious.
"Then, then weren't you called to do something? When you were alone..." Gu Shiyao stared at Gu Shichu and asked. She had clearly threatened a maid in the Qiyang Marquis's mansion with a secret, and asked the maid to take the lonely Gu Shichu to that remote courtyard. Why didn't Gu Shichu show up there? Instead, she did?
"When you were alone? Oh, Zhiqiu had a stomachache, so I asked someone to take her to rest. During this time, a strange maid came to me and said that Zhiqiu's stomachache had become more severe, and asked me to go over and take a look. So I followed her. Unexpectedly, she took me to an unfamiliar place. I was about to ask, but suddenly I felt a pain behind my head and passed out. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the ground in the small garden - the private small garden of the son of the Marquis of Qi Yang that my elder sister took me to see." Gu Shichu explained in an orderly manner.
Brother Mingxun, I'm so sorry. You have to take the blame. However, this blame is a blame that should not be taken credit for. The Anguo Mansion dare not pursue it. I can only borrow your power... Gu Shichu thought without any psychological burden.
"Is that really the case? Who knocked you out? Who took you there?" Gu Shiyao asked again.
"I don't know. I fainted, and when I woke up I was alone." Gu Shichu explained, confused and a little "fearful", shaking his head.
"Then why didn't you tell me and still ate so happily at the banquet?" Zhou stared at her coldly, full of suspicion, and asked again, "You didn't take this kind of thing to heart and still had the appetite to eat?"
Gu Shichu glanced at her quickly, lowered his head, and said, "I, I'm afraid that if I tell my aunt, she will scold me, and it will also damage my reputation... After all, I don't know who knocked me out and took me to the small garden... I ate happily because I was hungry, and I turned my fear into appetite..."
Zhou was choked by her explanation and rolled her eyes, constantly stroking her chest which was heaving violently.
"I don't believe it! You must be lying! It must be you and Ming Xun who have teamed up to harm me..." Gu Shiyao was hysterical and was about to rush up and tear Gu Shichu apart again.
But Gu Shichu was not the kind of person who would stand still and let her beat and scold her. She was so "scared" that she hurriedly hid behind Zhou, and played a "game" of chase with Gu Shiyao. However, she was much faster than Gu Shiyao, and Gu Shiyao couldn't catch up with her no matter what.
Gu Shiyao finally became so angry that she accidentally tripped and then knocked Zhou down. The mother and daughter fell heavily to the ground together.
