Chapter 69: Drag the knife plan
"What do you mean? It's better to die than to live. Why is Aunt Qin so hard to think about it?"
After feeding him another bowl of rice soup, Xin Nian ordered him to stop. Du Sanniang muttered in a low voice, and Xin Nian sighed: "Not everyone has the spirit like you and me, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people seeking death in the world.
"
"Ouch! How can I be so virtuous as a servant? How dare you compare with my aunt?"
Although Du Sanniang said this, she smiled happily. Xin Nian couldn't help laughing and said: "Without this spirit, how could you persevere in the situation you were in the kitchen before? In this way, you still help me from time to time.
Me and Liu Zai Yaya, it can be seen that you are as tough as me."
"Hey! People like slaves are just like weeds. You see how many people have trampled the weeds, but as long as it is not winter, they can stand up no matter how many times they are trampled. My aunt is different. My aunt is a red plum in winter.
She is as beautiful as any other woman, cold and proud, undefeated through frost, and has a spirit that is unparalleled by ordinary people when encountering snow."
Xin Nian shook his head: "You said it very well, but I don't deserve to describe it like this."
After saying that, he turned to Xinghua and ordered in a low voice: "I will stay here until Aunt Qin wakes up. You go back to Qingliangyuan first. If the prince comes, you tell him that I am here and he asks you why."
, you just need to tell the truth, no need to mention anything else."
"Yes, this slave knows."
So Xinghua returned to Qingliangyuan, and after about half an hour, Gu Changting came indeed. She didn't see Xin Nian, so naturally she wanted to ask. Xinghua followed Xin Nian's instructions and told the story, while looking at it carefully.
Gu Changting's face didn't seem to have any reaction. He just frowned and thought for a while, then said calmly: "That's all, where does Aunt Qin live? Take me there."
"yes."
Xinghua's heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself: I'll just say that I have feelings for my aunt. Otherwise, I've never heard him mention the mother and daughter. He obviously doesn't care about their life or death. If it were anyone else, I would probably
I went elsewhere. Just because she is my aunt, I know that she loves to fight against injustice and has a compassionate temper, so I went over to take a look. My aunt called me back just to test my mind. In the end, the result was not bad, even if I look at it
In terms of my aunt's honor, as long as I say something, the mother and daughter won't even have a foothold in the house.
While thinking about it, he took Gu Changting to Aunt Qin's yard. Its remoteness and dilapidation shocked the gentleman, and he muttered: "Is there such a place in our palace? I have never been there."
Xinghua nodded and said: "Who says it's not? It's a pity that such a large area of land, at least five or six acres of land, is wasted. What can't be done to level it a little? The poor people want to have such land for farming, but they don't have it yet.
.”
Gu Changting glanced at her and said with a smile: "As expected, I followed Nian Nian. When I saw the wasteland, I first thought of the poor people. This ancient road is so heartwarming, it is rare."
Xinghua hurriedly saluted and said: "Thank you for the compliment. When it comes to the ancient roads that warm the intestines, my slave is far behind my aunt."
Gu Changting shook his head: "It's not that far off. As a slave, no matter how compassionate you are, there is only so much you can do. The same is true for Nian Nian. With her temperament, she should go to the world to be a chivalrous and righteous heroine, but she is trapped.
In this palace, fortunately, although she is in a difficult situation, her ambition has not diminished. These days, when I see her acting, she is still as decisive and decisive as before."
This was really a high compliment. Xinghua felt happy and her steps became more brisk. She walked in and said, "Auntie, the prince is here."
Before Xin Nian could do anything, Gu Yunxiang, who was sitting next to her, jumped up in shock and stared blankly at Gu Changting who came in. He completely forgot how to react. After a long while, he suddenly remembered to salute and timidly yelled, "
"Your Majesty." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, tears welled up and his throat was so choked that he could no longer say a word.
Xin Nian grabbed Gu Yunxiang's hand and shook it, then said to Gu Changting: "Why is the prince here?"
"I heard from Xinghua about Aunt Qin, so I came over to take a look. How about it? Have you called the doctor? Do you want to ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment?"
"I have sent for a doctor before. Although he is just an ordinary doctor, fortunately, Aunt Qin has nothing serious to do. She is just very weak. If you take some supplements in the future, she will be fine."
Gu Changting nodded and said calmly: "You are in charge of the kitchen. You can arrange these."
"good."
Gu Changting looked at the house again, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "This place is too remote, not conducive to recovery. The third sister is also old, so she should have some social interactions of her own. It's not convenient here. Why don't you go back and help them?"
Check it out and see where the backyard is suitable. How many rooms can be built now will make it easier.”
"There's no need to go to such trouble. My courtyard was originally an east-west courtyard. Now we live in the east courtyard. The west courtyard has been vacant. Why don't we tidy it up and let them live there? It happens to be close to the garden, which is conducive for patients to rest."
Gu Changting glanced at Xin Nian: It was obvious that he wanted to take two burdensome people with him. Do you want to be so old-fashioned?
Gu Changting was unwilling in his heart, but he understood Xin Nian's temperament better, but... it's not that easy to be a good person.
As soon as he thought about this, he smiled and said, "Is this okay? You will move back to Qingliang Pavilion in the future. What will happen to the mother and daughter then?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Xin Nian smiling across from me without saying a word, with both eyebrows and eyes curved up, as if to say: I knew you were waiting for me here, hum! Is this a rare chance for me to live with you?
The beauty at this moment was so vivid and bright that Gu Changting was even in a trance, as if he had gone back to the time when the two of them didn't get along much together more than ten years ago.
Sure enough, I heard Xin Nian laugh and say: "Don't worry about that, Qingliang Pavilion is bigger, and it is being renovated at the moment. I am building another courtyard next to it. When I move back, they will follow me."
"
"Isn't this... bad?" Gu Changting looked at Xin Nian, his meaning was obvious: You can't have both, and if you want to help them, how can you do it without paying a price?
"What's wrong? We're all in the same house, just separated by a garden. We can see each other anytime we want. But if we don't want to, we don't have to be an eyesore in front of others."
The meaning is also very clear: Don't forget about your mother when you have a wife. Think about the concubine. Is she willing to see Aunt Qin wandering around in the backyard? I am seriously thinking about you.
The corner of Gu Changting's mouth twitched, and he grinded his teeth almost inaudibly: "That's all, let's do as you say. But as a result, the work at Qingliang Pavilion will have to be increased, and it can't be completed in two or three days.
, you must not be in a hurry." Hum! In that case, let Qingliang Pavilion be repaired for a lifetime.
"I'm not in a hurry. Everything depends on people and God. When can I move? It won't be too late for me to move." Haha! Want to spend your whole life plotting? Don't overthink your beauty.
