Chapter 21 Entering the Fire Pit

Gu Xiaomei's name is Gu Xiying. She was born in the fifth year of Tianqi. When Gu Xiying was born, it was the most riot in the She'an Rebellion in Yunnan, Guizhou. At that time, Anbangyan, the chieftain of Shuixi in Guizhou, joined forces with the chieftain of Yongning in Sichuan, She Chongming, and affected the four provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Guizhou. It took nine years to kill and injured more than one million before it was pacified.

The Guizhou Gu Zhaoxing, the commander of Guizhou Guard, was Ma Cheng's grandfather, followed Guizhou Governor Wang Sanshan to guard Guiyang and fight against the Shuixi'an clan. The battle was very fierce at that time. After more than half a year of besieging the city, the governor Wang Sanshan was killed by the rebels. The Guizhou General Zhang Yanfang, who would rather eat human flesh than surrender, died in battle. Gu Xiying was born in Guiyang City in such a chaotic era.

In the Battle of Yongning in the second year of Chongzhen, Gu Xiying's father died in battle in order to protect his master's commander Gu Zhaoxing. His death exchanged his son Gu Changwei with the title of hereditary 100 households, and at the same time he received the trust of the old commander Gu Zhaoxing.

At that time, Ma Cheng's mother had already taken Ma Luan to Nanjing to join Ma Shiying. Gu Zhaoxing knew that Nanjing was full of nobles and was afraid that his daughter would suffer losses, so he chose fifty people from his most loyal guards to go to Nanjing with his daughter. It was at this time that Gu Changwei came to Nanjing to join the Ma family.

Because of this, Gu Xiying basically spent her childhood in Nanjing. Although she cannot be said to be childhood sweethearts with Ma Cheng, she has heard of Ma Cheng’s name for a long time, and of course it is not a good name but a bad name.

Ma Shiying served as a great official position during the Tianqi period and in the early years of Chongzhen. He was the highest-ranking governor of the Xuanfu. With the support of his father and grandfather's family, Ma Cheng was completely a little devil in Nanjing.

Gu Xiying spent her childhood in Nanjing and welcomed the arrival of her adolescence. When Gu Xiying was sixteen years old, the girl was in love with spring, her ideal image in her heart was not an outsider, but Ma Luan, the eldest son of the Ma family.

Ma Luan, the eldest son of the Ma family, can be said to have a collection of all Confucian virtues, gentleness, knowledgeable and well-educated, gentle and handsome appearance, etc. Ma Cheng is the complete opposite of his brother, with ugly appearance, vulgar body shape, timid and afraid of things, scathing eyes, etc.

Gu Xiying naturally likes the eldest young master Ma Luan and hates Ma Cheng, but Gu Xiying's eldest brother Gu Changwei became Ma Cheng's Changsu, which made Gu Xiying very angry.

However, Gu Xiying knew that she was from a humble background and liked the eldest young master Ma Luan, she was just a flower in the mirror. After a few years, Ma Luan got married with Miss Zhang's family in Ningbo, Gu Xiying cried secretly.

As he grew older in recent years, Gu Xiying also died of her intention to get married. She originally wanted to be alone for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that her brother would send him into the fire pit and let him be a maid for the annoying ghost Ma Cheng. When she thought that she would serve Ma Cheng, Gu Xiying was really desperate.

After entering the house, Gu Xiying cried: "Brother, my little sister will never serve that second-generation ancestor. My little sister would rather live alone!"

Gu Changwei is a parent of the Gu family. Although he is respectful and polite in front of his mother, he has always been very strict with his sister. Now he heard that his sister goes against his wishes and said angrily: "What do you know about your girl's family? Now that my father is not at home, I will make the decision. If you don't go, you have to go!"
