Guo Wu returned to the mansion and explained everything in detail to **. He seemed very surprised when he heard what she saw in the Duke of Qi's mansion. He pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "If this is true, then Zhao Yue is a useful person."
Guo Wu thought about it, but shook her head and said, "Dad, don't be happy too early. I think that Guo Jia is not an ordinary person. I heard that she and Zhao Yue came to Yuexi with each other. Zhao Yue was very skilled in martial arts and loyal, and was her trusted maid. Last time, at Princess Lin'an's mansion, there was a python in front of her, and Zhao Yue tried her best to save her. It can be seen that there is no easy rift between them. If Li Weiyang's performance was deliberately shown to me today, then her intention would be questionable."
** Hearing this, he was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a burst of laughter coming from outside the house: "Ms. Guo is really smart!"
The father and daughter immediately changed their expressions when they heard this. ** stood up first. They opened the door of the study room and saw a noble young man standing at the door. He was wearing brocade clothes, with a rosy face, tall and handsome face. Who wouldn't Jiang Nan besides Jiang Nan? A smile appeared on his face, "Ah, it turned out to be Mr. Nan, who was wrong." He muttered in his heart that Jiang Nan had come to the mansion silently, and none of his guards noticed it, which showed that the other party's martial arts were really unfathomable.
He thought of this, but he calmly welcomed the person in, and loudly ordered the people outside to pour a cup of tea, and gave it to Jiang Nan in person with a noble manner. Then he smiled and said, "I wonder what Mr. Nan said just now?"
Jiang Nan smiled slightly, but looked at Guo Wu without saying a word.
Guo Wu was also looking at the person in front of her. Not only was this handsome young master, but she was also a man of both civil and military. Somehow she was willing to be a male lover in Princess Lin'an's house. However, when she heard that Princess Lin'an was obedient to him and obeyed his words, she saw that this person was not as simple as she seemed on the surface. When she thought of this, she smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Prince Nan praised me for no reason just now, what was the intention?" Her expression was very naive, as if she was just asking casually.
Jiang Nan sneered and said, "I praise you, just because you know Li Weiyang better than Lord Guo." Seeing that the other party was a little surprised, he said, "This Li Weiyang is what you call Guo Jia."
Before Guo Jia came to Yuexi, he was once the adopted daughter of Prime Minister Li and Princess Anping of Dali. Li Weiyang was her boudoir name, and it was not surprising that Jiang Nan called her this.
Jiang Nan said slowly, "I'm not hiding it from both of you, I'm from Dali, and I have an irreconcilable grudge with Li Weiyang. I remember that she used a sharp mouth to deceive the princess, killed my aunt, and designed my Jiang family to destroy me. Now that I'm so depressed, my only wish is to avenge her. So what do you say in front of me can do, but it's okay."
Both of them were very surprised when they heard this. ** raised their eyebrows and said, "Since Mr. Nan knows this person so well, then according to you, is this matter true or false?"
Jiang Nan smiled and said, "I know her, but this person is unfathomable, and even if I can't tell the truth or the false."
Guo Wu said for granted: "So, will we hold our troops temporarily?"
Jiang Nan shook his head and said, "If this matter is false, she must have made some plans. If this matter is true and we do not take action, wouldn't it be a waste of a good opportunity?" Jiang Nan was eager to take revenge, and of course he refused to give up any opportunity. This is the reason why he found them today.
** Hearing this, he did not comment. In his opinion, if you want to take revenge, you must first save yourself. Although he also hated Guo Jia and the Duke of Qi's Mansion, he would never act rashly for this. He has been working hard for so many years, how could he put his life's efforts into wasted on impulse?
Jiang Nan looked at **'s hesitation and said slowly: "In fact, it is not difficult to judge the authenticity of this matter, but you just need to borrow Ms. Guo."
Guo Wu was very surprised and said, "Is me? What can I do?"
Jiang Nan smiled, and a trace of imperceptible cunning flashed across his eyes: "Since Miss Guo can enter and exit the Duke of Qi's Mansion, there are many things you can do."
Guo Wu thought about it and hesitated: "But, Li Weiyang doesn't believe me. When I get along with her, she is also lukewarm. I'm afraid I can't get any useful news."
Jiang Nan obviously didn't think so. He glanced at Guo Wu, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Miss is such a bad word. No matter how smart a person is, he will have a lot of secrets. Since you can get close to her, you may not be able to succeed by seizing the favorable opportunity."
After hearing this, Guo Wu became interested in her heart and said with a beautiful look: "So, as the young master said, what should I do?"
Jiang Nan's smile slowly became cold and he said, "I heard that Princess Chenliu was born in the palace, had a big rule and a bad temper. Is this true?"
** smiled and said, "That's all in the past. The old lady has been kind-hearted in the past two years!" But in his opinion, the other party was completely hypocritical.
In fact, Princess Chenliu's deeds of refusing to return to the Ren family when she was young were indeed very famous. Jiang Nan smiled and said, "A person's character will not change. Princess Chenliu has a noble background and will never like such dirty things. She also attaches great importance to the reputation of her family. If you reveal it to her in person, it will definitely cause a storm... Then it depends on whether Li Weiyang will save him or not."
Guo Wu said suspiciously: "How is it to save? So what is it to not save?"
Jiang Nan held a sneer on his lips and said, "If she didn't help him and watched Zhao Yue die, then this matter would definitely be true. If she helped, even if she just said one sentence, this matter would definitely be false, it would be just a trap." He felt that he already knew Li Weiyang very well. Although the other party was cunning, he had a fatal weakness, that was, he attached great importance to the people around him. If Zhao Yue really made a mistake, she naturally felt that she had been betrayed and it was not difficult to guess what choice she would make...
The father and daughter looked at each other and exchanged expressions. Guo Wu thought for a moment and said first: "Okay, as the young master said, I'll give it a try."
Three days later, Guo Wu brought a thousand-year-old ginseng to the Duke of Qi's mansion. When he met Princess Chenliu, he only said that it was a filial piety given to her by her father. Although Princess Chenliu has never liked the father and daughter, she did not hit the smiley person. Guo Wu had a gentle smile and was beautiful, and was very intimate in her words. Even if Princess Chenliu didn't like her, she could not drive people out.
So Guo Wu told the princess affectionately about the interesting things about the capital recently. Princess Chenliu listened casually, her eyes half-closed, as if she was not very interested. Guo Wu sneer secretly in her heart, but her face was silent, and suddenly said: "Grandma, there is one thing Wu'er doesn't know whether to talk about it or not."
Princess Chenliu said coldly: "If you don't talk, you don't need to talk."
A hint of anger flashed across Guo Wu's face, and she thought to herself that you, an old woman, always tended toward her biological children, and she didn't like me, she was so biased, and how could she deal with you when my father got the title! She sneered in her heart, but slowly said: "That day, I went to Jia'an and saw her angrily beating Zhao Yue. I wonder if my grandmother knew about this?"
Princess Chenliu opened her eyes slightly when she heard this, and looked at Guo Wu and said, "Oh, is there such a thing?"
Guo Wu smiled and said, "Grandmother, when did the granddaughter deceive you? Am I the one who makes trouble for nothing? If you don't believe it, you can verify it."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Princess Chenliu's face. Even if Guo Jia beats her maid, so what? She slowly said: "This matter is in Jiaer's inner courtyard after all. If you are an outsider, don't meddle in other people's business."
Guo Wu said aggrievedly: "Grandma, you are too concerned. I just care about Jiaer, and I have no other intentions. Besides, this matter is of great importance. If you don't tell you, it may be inappropriate..."
Princess Chenliu glanced at her sideways and said, "Since that's the case, just say it."
So Guo Wu said in detail what he saw that day. When the princess heard this, her face gradually turned pale and said, "Is there any such thing?" If it was someone else who told her about this, it would not be a big deal, but it was reported from Guo Wu's mouth.
Even if Li Weiyang really set up a bitter plan, he would never tell Princess Chenliu, because the princess has an impatient temper and a straightforward temperament, and it is easy to be exposed. If this matter is true, in order to hide it for Director Guo, the other party will still choose to remain silent. Guo Wu carefully checked Princess Chenliu's face and verified her thoughts. It seems that the princess really doesn't know about this matter. Then whether this matter is true or false, let's see Li Weiyang's performance later! She smiled and said, "Is the matter true or false, just call Jiaer and ask."
Princess Chenliu finally couldn't help but feel angry at the corners of her eyebrows and told the people around her: "Go and call Jiaer, by the way, there is also Director Guo!"
The maid beside her looked at the princess nervously and said, "What about... what about madam?" Only by telling her about this matter can it be eased.
Princess Chenliu said coldly: "It's all her children, let's call them together." However, she was a harsh expression that she had never seen before.
A burst of joy flashed across Guo Wu's heart, but his face showed a worried expression and remained silent.
Soon, everyone arrived. When Li Weiyang saw Guo Wu sitting in front of the princess, he knew everything, but he did not show any abnormality on his face. He just smiled at the princess and said, "Grandma called Jiaer, what's the matter?"
Princess Chenliu said lightly: "Sit down, I have something to ask your maid." She always looked very happy when she saw Li Weiyang. Today, she rarely sinks down and is obviously very unhappy. Her expression is very dignified and serious. The princess's demeanor is completely different from her easy-going appearance in the past, which makes people feel fear in their hearts.
Li Weiyang hesitated a little and said, "What grandmother said..."
Princess Chenliu said, "It is your maid who brought from Dali, named Zhao Yue."
Li Weiyang glanced at Guo Wu, and seemed to have a slight anger on his face, and turned to say, "Grandmother, Jiaer can handle this matter by herself."
Princess Chenliu said: "This matter is related to the reputation of the Guo family. How do you deal with it yourself, just a girl's family? Let me leave it to me. Well, bring the person up." She also has her own concerns. If it is handed over to Li Weiyang, if it is stained with blood, it will cause her granddaughter's hand to be dirty. She is also protecting Li Weiyang, so she has to deal with it herself. Of course, this is also for Guo Wu sitting there.
Soon, someone lifted Zhao Yue, who was covered in wounds. Seeing that Zhao Yue had not seen him for a few days, he was already covered in bruises. He thought to himself that Guo Jia was really cruel and really beat him up. It was indeed not like a fake.
Princess Chenliu asked coldly: "Do you and the fifth young master have something to do with each other?"
Zhao Yue's face turned red, but she didn't say a word. Seeing this scene, Princess Chenliu didn't understand anything. She became even more angry and pointed at Zhao Yue and said, "Beat it to death."
Guo Wu glanced at Li Weiyang, but saw her sitting expressionlessly, without any intention of mercy. She thought to herself, I want to see, are you really ruthless, or pretend to be ruthless.
Princess Chenliu is surrounded by female officials from the former palace. She has always used the method of punishing people. She soaked the toughest vine in a special potion for a long time. The dark purple color has not faded for a long time. When she hits people, the pain seems to invade the bone marrow at once, and it hurts many times more than an ordinary whip. When Guo Wu saw this, she couldn't help but change color. She had heard of the power of this vine. As expected, after a few hits, she saw Zhao Yue, who had always been strong, moaned in pain. Her calm expression was replaced by a twisted and hideous pain. She could no longer support her body and shivered on the ground and shivered. The falling vine shadows became more and more dense.
But when the curtain was raised, a black shadow broke in and threw herself in without saying a word in front of the princess: "Grandma, please let her go. This matter is all about me, it has nothing to do with her!"
Mrs. Guo happened to enter the door and saw this scene, she couldn't help but say angrily: "You are so lawless that you are spoiled on weekdays, even the people in your sister's yard dare to move!"
Director Guo's throat was a little hoarse, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a girl, why bother you guys!"
Princess Chenliu sneered, "If it were other girls, they would naturally be the children of the aristocratic families to joke! But Zhao Yue was brought by your sister from Dali. If you ruined her reputation, wouldn't it be that your sister would drag her into the water?! If it was spread, what would outsiders think of the Guo family? Wouldn't it be said that our family was not upright and even a girl would teach a lesson?!" Therefore, Princess Chenliu pushed him away: "Okay, let's go back and have to worry about you! If you don't go out quickly, don't embarrass me here!"
The so-called embarrassing appearance naturally means that Guo Wu is still there. This matter should not have been known to her. It is because of her that Princess Chenliu has to punish Zhao Yue with a heart. Otherwise, once Guo Wu spreads this matter, it will only make others say that the Guo family is in a bad manner and implicates his granddaughter! For Li Weiyang, Zhao Yue must be severely punished!
Director Guo refused to leave. He turned around and finally grabbed Li Weiyang and said, "Zhao Yue is your maid. She is loyal to you. We all saw this. Now he has made a small mistake. Do you refuse to save her?"
Li Weiyang ignored it. Not only did he not think about the relationship between the master and the servant, but he also had a bit of blame: "Fifth brother, if you hadn't provoked Zhao Yue first, why would he have made such a fuss?! If you really like her, I'll give her to you when you marry a wife, it would be okay? But you just passed me and secretly had a private meeting with her. It was because you didn't respect me first, and now you still wanted me to save her. Are you deliberately mocking me?"
"You!" Director Guo was so angry that his face twitched and deformed. Mrs. Guo next to him hurriedly pulled his arm and said, "It's not that simple. Where is the Guo family? This is in front of his grandmother! How do you speak?!"
Director Guo refused to move at all and said angrily: "Jia'er, you know what Brother Wu treats you on weekdays. I just want you a girl. Why are you so angry? Will you be killed?"
Li Weiyang said slowly: "You have deep affection for her, just save her. Why bother to bother me?"
Director Guo sneered: "I always thought you were kind-hearted, but now why do you say such ruthless words? It's just because she is doing her best to you, and you should save her!"
Guo Wu looked at the brother and sister with a tense face, but she believed it three times in her heart.
Li Weiyang said lukewarmly: "What is it, what is it, what is it, you are so entangled with such a maid, are you really shameless?" There was no trace of compassion and compassion on her beautiful face.
Director Guo said angrily: "Although she is a slave, she is also a human being!"
Li Weiyang sneered and said, "Yes, she is so mean by you!"
Director Guo shouted in a hoarse voice: "You really don't want to save me?"
Li Weiyang was not moved at all and said, "She had already betrayed her master before she hid it from me. I will not save a maid who betrayed her master! Besides, if my grandmother wants her to die, I have no choice!"
Zhao Yueqiang held her body over there and said in tears: "I understand. I have served the lady for many years and ended up like this. Since the lady tolerate others bullying me like this, it would be better to beat me to death that day!"
Li Weiyang looked at the person covered in blood and said coldly: "Zhao Yue, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless. You know my personality. I always focus on protecting the people around you. If you hadn't done something wrong yourself, why would it have fallen to this point? I am so tolerant of you on weekdays."
The vines there were even more fiercely, and Zhao Yue finally couldn't say a word. Director Guo saw it and was very anxious, as if he was really going to completely turn against Li Weiyang.
Seeing this situation, Guo Wu finally smiled gently, put his heart in his stomach, and exhaled like an orchid: "Grandmother, Zhao Yue is too young and ignorant, and made a small mistake. This kind of thing has happened in ordinary wealthy families! Why do you have to be so angry? Just as Jiaer said, if Brother Wu really likes it, it's no big deal to open his face when he gets married and be a concubine."
Princess Chenliu looked like Hanshuang, but she was silent. Mrs. Guo glanced at Li Weiyang and sighed: "Mother, Zhao Yue has been with Jiaer for many years, and she is the most capable. She has saved Jiaer in the past, so we have absolutely no reason to beat her to death!"
Although the Guo family is rigorous in managing the family, they are very kind and treat their servants even more leniently. They have never had any deaths. If Zhao Yue had not made such a mistake and was embarrassed to be in front of Guo Wu, Princess Chenliu would never have punished her so severely. Then again, this is something that can be solved with just one word of Li Weiyang. As Jiang Nan said, Li Weiyang is essentially a cold-hearted, cold-hearted, and cold-hearted person. She treats you very well on weekdays, but once you betray her, she will never forgive her easily. Therefore, she does not plead for mercy and watches Zhao Yue die. This is true.
Guo Wu saw it and believed that the matter was true, so he carefully persuaded: "Grandma, let Zhao Yue go for my sake. No matter what, we are all a family, and I will never spread the matter. As long as I don't say it, how can people outside know? The matter is revealed, so forget it."
Just waiting for your words! Princess Chenliu glanced at her, and finally nodded, saying, "Okay, since Wu'er pleads, let her go!"
The people finally stopped. Zhao Yue lay on the ground motionless. She really exhaled more and had less breathing. Li Weiyang looked at her expressionlessly without any movement. Mrs. Guo said, "Please carry her down to recuperate."
Li Weiyang said coldly: "Since this girl has done such a thing behind my back, I can't keep it anyway. Whoever you want it, just take it." As she spoke, it seemed as if Zhao Yue was an object and she never wanted to see it again.
Guo Wu felt bad when she heard this. If Li Weiyang really refused to accept Zhao Yue, their plan would not be able to be implemented. She quickly said, "Jia'er, this matter is no big deal. Just think it's good and forgive her. Look, if she is so hurt, who will die in whose yard? She followed you and came to Yuexi through a lot of hardships. There are no credit and hard work. You just want to keep her because of this."
Li Weiyang looked at her calmly and said calmly: "Why would my cousin bring her back with me so kind?"
Director Guo was furious and said, "Guo Jia, what do you mean! If you want you to stay, stay, why do you say these words?! Do you really want her to follow her cousin and let her uncle and others laugh at us?"
Li Weiyang stopped talking. Yes, how could this matter be known to outsiders? She finally let go: "Okay, just take her down to recuperate." Then, she turned to Guo Wu and said with a smile, "But my cousin said that she would never disclose this matter to outsiders to know, if not..."
Guo Wu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Jiaer, am I the one who is not trustworthy?"
Li Weiyang smiled, but a trace of imperceptible condensation flashed through his eyes.
Nearly half a month later, Guo Wu went to and from the Duke of Qi's mansion several times, carefully observing the relationship between Li Weiyang and Zhao Yue. Zhao Yue had been raising her for a long time before she could barely stand up, as if she was still respectful to Li Weiyang, the master as before. Li Weiyang still told her as usual, and Zhao Yue did whatever she wanted without any ambiguity. Guo Wu saw it, but she was sneering in her heart. The master was so ruthless, I am afraid that this girl's heart would never be able to make up for it. This is their favorable opportunity!
