Putting aside the conversation between the uncle and nephew for the time being, when the sun set that day, the Zhou family got news that Mrs. Wu'an Hou happened to have some free time the next day, so she came to visit her.
The news spread to various courtyards, and several girls became anxious and began to prepare clothes and jewelry for that day.
That night, when Gu Xiang was sleeping soundly, a bucket of water suddenly poured down on her, turning her into a drowned rat, shivering in the cold in March.
When she got up, the person who splashed water ran away with the bucket and closed the door of her bedroom.
Gu Xiang felt that something was wrong. When he rushed to the door and opened it, he found that the bedroom door was locked from the outside.
Gu Xiang suddenly felt a cold air rising from the soles of her feet. She turned around and looked in the bedroom, only to find that the bedding and clothes on the bed had been splashed with water and were soaked.
"Xu Yinhe!" Gu Xiang gritted her teeth in anger, her whole face turned red and twisted. She turned around and ran to the door, pulled the door open and banged it hard, "Open the door quickly! Open the door quickly!"
"Open the door! Open the door for me!"
"Open the door for me!"
However, no matter how much she banged on the door and shouted, no one came to open the door for her. She asked for help in vain, so she thought of saving herself and went to the window sill to push the window. However, she found that the window was also sealed from the outside.
not open.
There wasn't a single light in the dark room, and there weren't many things inside. She was squatting at the door, folding her arms and staring in silence.
Gu Xiang knew that this was probably Aunt Xu's trick. In order to get Gu Yi a marriage from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, the mother and daughter must have done such a thing.
But her shouting was so loud that it could not be heard elsewhere, but could be heard in the courtyard of the second house. Her mother should also be able to hear her, but even so, she did not appear to save her.
Gu Xiang was stunned for a while, and then felt that this was not possible.
Aunt Xu and Gu Yi definitely wanted to keep her wet in the room overnight. The girl was weak and would probably get sick later.
When the time comes that she will be very ill, Mrs. Wu Anhou will definitely not like her, which is what the mother and daughter want.
No, no, no.
How could she let these two bitches have their way!
If Gu Yi marries to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and becomes the crown prince's wife, the mother and daughter will not raise their tails, and her father will only have children born to Aunt Xu and her, let alone her mother's Sun family.
She and her younger brother were afraid that there would be no way out.
Gu Xiang's panic gradually calmed down.
She always has to solve the dilemma at hand.
She also wanted this marriage in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. Apart from her mother, Sun, she needed a backer to protect her brother Gu Zhilan. Otherwise, she and her brother would have been killed by the mother and daughter.
have no idea.
She didn't want to take care of her confused mother, but she couldn't leave her brother alone. In the future, when she became the Crown Prince's wife, even if she couldn't suppress Aunt Xu and the others, she could also take her brother to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.
There will always be a way to survive.
It's better than staying in the house and being bullied.
Thinking of this, she stood up and went to the cabinet first to see if there were any clothes that could be changed. Unfortunately, the water on these clothes should not have been poured on them, but the clothes were directly soaked in the water and then taken out.
None of it is wearable.
She took a deep breath and threw the clothes aside, then went to check the bed.
I found that although most of the quilts on the bed were wet, there were still some quilts that were not splashed. The other side of some quilts was dry, and some quilts blocked the water, but the quilt inside was still dry.
She was so happy that she went to the dressing table in the dark to get a pair of scissors, and with a tiny bit of light in the dark night, she cut off the dry quilt cover and quilt.
Then he changed out of his wet clothes, wrapped the still dry quilt around his body, carried the quilt to the wooden couch near the window, curled up in the corner, and planned to spend the night like this.
However, she lay down for a while, then got up and picked out a set of clothes to hang on a shelf, intending to dry them out.
When she had to meet someone tomorrow morning, she couldn't live her life being met.
.
Xie Yixiao felt a lot more relaxed after pushing out the matter of substitute marriage. She began to recuperate peacefully in Qinse Garden that day. However, she had a well-informed girl Mingxin beside her, so she should know everything.
"I heard that last night, while the second girl was sleeping, someone poured a bucket of water on her. The person ran away and locked the door. The clothes inside were all wet, and even a change of clothes was wet.
No, fortunately, the second girl was smart and cut off the quilt cover and quilt that were not wet to survive the night."
"This morning, the second girl directly complained to the madam and asked the madam to make the decision for her."
"Madam invited all the people from the second house to interrogate the matter. Aunt Xu refused to admit it and said that the second girl had framed her. The second girl had done all this on her own for the sake of the marriage at the Marquis Wu'an Mansion."
"The second girl has no direct evidence to prove that it was Aunt Xu who did it. Moreover, the second lady on the side persuaded and begged her. I hope she will settle down and stay calm and not make trouble..."
At this point, Mingxin sighed: "The second girl is also pitiful, having to deal with such a pair of parents."
No, it's so pitiful. Even her mother doesn't know how to love her, and doesn't know how to protect her from being wronged. Instead, she holds her back and makes her suffer. This is worse than nothing.
Xie Yixiao looked up from the book: "Okay, she's pitiful, your girl, I'm thirsty now, go and get your girl a glass of water."
Hearing this, Mingxin suddenly became bright and cheerful again: "I'll go right now, my slave. I'll go right now. Girl, just wait until I'm here."
After a while, Mingxin came back with a suitcase. She reached out and took out a bowl from the suitcase, placed it on the plum blossom coffee table, and said in a warm voice: "Girl, it's time to drink medicine."
Every time Xie Yixiao heard her tone, he always felt as if Wu Song's sister-in-law had asked her brother to take medicine.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Ming Xin didn't know what she was laughing at, but she was happy to see her smiling. As long as the master was happy, it would be fine. Don't be as depressed as before, like a fading flower.
Now he is full of life and smiles so beautifully.
So she also giggled.
Xie Yixiao wanted her to change her tone next time, lest she couldn't help but laugh.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw a maid walking into the room, it was Hongcha, the second-class maid in the courtyard.
Hongcha stood outside the gauze curtain and bowed slightly: "My slave, please pay homage to the girl. Miss, the second girl has come to pay homage."
Yesterday afternoon, Xie Yixiao had the bead curtains replaced with sky-blue gauze curtains.
"Second girl? Gu Xiang?" Xie Yixiao was slightly surprised, "Why did she come to my place?"
