At the end of October, the autumn wind blows away the warmth.
Su Xiaoxi was sitting in the Gu family's car. Even though the air conditioner was on, it was not very warm.
The car swayed with the unevenness of the road, and the light and shadow cast in were bright or dark. Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but think of what her father Su Tian said to her a few days ago.
Her father said that if she wanted to find her mother, she would marry Gu Tingxi.
She is twenty-three years old. Her mother left her and disappeared when she was three years old.
Later, her father fostered her in the Linyou Temple in Taipingshan, Yucheng, on the grounds that the fortune teller said she had renounced relatives.
At that time, she didn't know what was going on. Later, when she grew up, she realized that she was sent away not because of the fortune teller's lies, but because her father was with the family servant and had a daughter as old as her.
, called Su Manli.
I heard that Su Manli was pampered as a little princess since she was a child. She learned various specialties from a young age, and was good at painting, singing, dancing and playing the violin. When she grew up, she successfully entered the entertainment industry and became a top-notch person, becoming the pride of the Su family.
She and the star-studded Su Manli are like dust on the ground, otherwise her father Su Tian would not have ignored her for twenty years.
So much so that she was surprised when her father found her this time. He asked her to marry the Gu family, and the advantage was that he would tell her the whereabouts of her mother.
The memory left by her mother has long been blurred, so she wanted to ask her mother why she left her in the first place and how she has lived these past years.
So if she can find her mother, she is willing to marry!
As for why the Su family chose her to marry into the Gu family, it is said that it was because her birth date could enable the vegetative young master of the Gu family to survive, so it could only be her.
She has heard many rumors about the Gu family in Yucheng.
I heard that the young master of the Gu family, Gu Tingxi, was retaliated for a relationship dispute three years ago. The other party caused a car accident and directly knocked Gu Tingxi into a vegetative state.
The situation has been bad recently, and the Gu family called a fortune teller overnight, saying that they had to find a bride for Gu Tingxi with the same birthday in order to resolve the disaster.
The Gu family tried every possible means to find the person, and the news spread to the streets and alleys of Yucheng.
The big dignitaries in Yucheng avoided her, but Su Tian found her living on Taiping Mountain and negotiated terms with her.
She discovered that her birth date could both defeat and save people, which was really amazing!
It’s all superstition and cannot be trusted!
She, Su Xiaoxi, is not stupid. The master said that Taoism follows nature and cannot be trusted without gods and ghosts!
The so-called superstition is just an excuse for one's own behavior!
She could vaguely sense that something was wrong with the Gu family, and naturally she was also aware of Su Tian's plot, but if she could find her mother, it would be worth it.
After all, she was only Gu Tingxi's wife in name only when she went to the Gu family, but in fact she was Master Gu's exclusive servant.
After Master Gu drove west, she found out where her mother was and went to look for her.
Toot toot!
Crunch!
The car stopped.
Su Xiaoxi saw the large villa outside the car window and knew that this should be the Gu family.
It's huge, bigger than expected.
Just as she was about to get off the car, the servant who greeted her had already opened the car door for her in advance and took her to the lobby of the Gu family.
The Gu family's hall is very large, and the space is even larger because of its reasonable layout. The most eye-catching thing is the few bamboos by the window.
The wilted bamboo looked lifeless, and it was obvious that no one was taking care of it.
But the rest of the hall was very tidy. She couldn't help but wonder, since the owner didn't like the bamboo, why would he keep it? But there were obviously nutrients and pesticides placed next to the bamboo. Looking at it this way, some people liked the bamboo and some didn't.
.
Footsteps suddenly sounded, and Su Xiaoxi turned her head and faced Butler Li, who was wearing a butler's uniform.
"Hello, young mistress, I will take you to see the young master's annex now. From now on, your food and daily life will be in the young master's annex. You cannot leave the young master's annex unless necessary. These are daily necessities prepared for you. Whatever you need can be
Talk to me anytime."
By the time she finished speaking, she had been ushered into Gu Tingxi's courtyard, and a large package was stuffed into her arms.
"Young mistress, you can go in. This is not far from the Gu family compound. The old man and his wife like to be quiet, so if you are fine, young mistress, it is better not to leave the other courtyard. It will be bad if you disturb the old man's peace!"
Su Xiaoxi was holding a big package in her arms and was a little dazed. She didn't want to step back, but she didn't want the housekeeper's voice to sound again, "Young mistress, you'd better go in quickly! Now that you're here, you can't get out. Don't forget,
The Gu family spent a lot of money to buy you!"
When Su Xiaoxi heard the money, her eyes became round.
She came to the Gu family voluntarily.
She didn't ask for money at all.
What happened to the money Butler Li was talking about?
Su Xiaoxi was confused. She took a step and tripped over a blanket on the ground. She didn't fall, but the big bag of things in her arms was scattered all over the floor.
The towel had holes, the slippers had leaks, and the toothbrush was even worse. It fell to the ground and broke in half!
Holding a broken toothbrush in one hand, she calmed down and realized in her heart that her cheating father had received 10% of the Gu family's money. She said to herself angrily, "Are rich people so picky? I don't even know that.
I promised to marry you, but you still want money from the Gu family. No wonder the Gu family doesn't want to see me!"
There were no shoes to wear, so she simply stopped wearing them.
Towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes were placed in the bathroom.
Although the toothbrush is broken, it will not affect its use for a while.
After sorting everything out, she stopped to look at the yard.
This courtyard faces south and has two floors, each floor is about 300 square meters. The room is quite spacious, but compared to the layout of the hall in the front yard, it seems very messy. At a glance, you can tell that no one has cleaned the room for a long time.
She shook her head and said to herself, "Sure enough, people who are about to die are worthless. Even if they are about to die, they are still Master Gu. How can they be treated so differently! They don't even clean up the room!"
Boom!
There was a knock on the door and the servant Xiaoyun's voice sounded at the same time, "The young master's decoction is ready. I put it outside. The young mistress will feed it to the young master in time."
Su Xiaoxi went to the door and found that there was only a tray and a bowl of medicine left outside. She took the tray and medicine, and then she remembered that there was a vegetative patient in the bedroom.
She brought the medicine into the bedroom. The light in the bedroom was dim, but even in such dim light, she could clearly see Gu Tingxi's appearance.
Not to mention, he is also very good-looking.
Although his eyes are closed, his facial features are very three-dimensional.
The most distinctive feature is the eyebrow peak, which is straight and elegant.
The nose is strong and the lips are thin and small.
He looked somewhat serious like this, and even though he looked sickly because he had been bedridden all year round, his cold aura could not be concealed.
I heard that he only had three months to live, but I saw that although his face was bloodless, his breathing was steady. He sounded like he was breathing and breathing, and there should be nothing wrong with him. It didn't look like he was about to run out of breath.
Out of curiosity, she felt Gu Tingxi's pulse.
Just after catching up for a while, she noticed that Gu Tingxi's pulse was messy.
Maybe he had made a mistake just now. He really couldn't live long with this kind of pulse, but if the master was here, he might be able to save him.
She felt a little regretful and said to herself, "It's all my fault that I'm not good at studying and my master refused to go down the mountain. Otherwise, I would have saved your life. A good-looking man like you can't live for long. It's such a waste of money. You'd better drink the medicine well. It can save you."
Live as long as you want."
She gave the unconscious man a sip of medicine, and the medicine flowed down the corner of Gu Tingxi's mouth and wet the pillow towel. She quickly wiped the corner of the man's mouth with a tissue, and after wiping it, she discovered that there were some dried medicine stains on the pillow towel.
The solidified and dried medicinal stains were obviously left over from before.
She hurriedly changed the pillow cover, and when she pulled it out, she discovered that there were many dried medicine stains on the sheets.
She quickly took the new sheets and helped the man turn over to the other side.
"Well..."
Su Xiaoxi changed into new sheets, sweating profusely on her tired forehead.
She gasped hard and cursed, Gu Tingxi was also a young master after all, and the housekeeper said he liked to be clean, so how could he be in such a mess!
Think about it, the life of rich people is not always good. Just look at her and you will know. The Su family seems to be quite rich. She came here voluntarily and was tricked by her cheating father!
The same goes for Gu Tingxi. He was bullied by his subordinates because he had no power, and his life was not good at all.
Su Xiaoxi sighed secretly, looking at the bed sheets stained with medicine on the floor, and then at the remaining half bowl of medicine. She sighed, took a tissue and put it under his pillow, and fed him the medicine in small sips, but the medicine still leaked out.
He drank some of it, but it seemed that he still drank some of it.
Su Xiaoxi took the last sip of medicine and went to wash the dirty sheets.
She left so quickly that she didn't notice the patient on the bed moving, and then her eyes that had been closed gradually opened.
Gu Tingxi saw someone leaving.
Subconsciously, I grabbed a tissue, covered my mouth, and spit out the few mouthfuls of medicine I had just poured into my body.
Then he wiped his mouth clean, looked at the clean sheets, and twitched the corners of his mouth.
Is this the daughter-in-law Su Xiaoxi whom I spent a lot of money to marry?
He was really obedient.
He wouldn't be at ease unless he was given this medicine.
She even "kindly" changed his bed sheets, destroying all the evidence he had left during this period.
The medicine stains left on the bed sheets are evidence that he was murdered. The traditional Chinese medicine he drank contained chronic poisons. If he drinks it for a long time, he will become disabled even if he does not die.
Ever since he had a car accident, it was discovered that someone had tampered with his medicine. He simply pretended to be sick. Soon he found out that Gu Botang, the vice president of the Gu family, was unwilling to occupy the position of the vice president of the Gu family. He was the one responsible for his accident.
Strategy.
It's a pity that he found it too late. By the time he found out all this, the Gu family had been fully controlled by Gu Botang. Not long after, his parents were killed in a car accident, and his grandparents were also imprisoned. He was weak and could only pretend
sick.
He knew that the fortune teller was found by Gu Botang. This Su Xiaoxi was naturally Gu Botang's person, so he had just worked so hard to give him medicine!
She was really thoughtful, taking care of him for the money Gu Botang gave him!
He had to find a way to get rid of Su Xiaoxi as soon as possible. She was Gu Botang's person, so naturally she came to kill him quickly and control everything about the Gu family.
He opened the secret compartment at the bottom of the bed, took out a pill and swallowed it.
Then he lit the incense in the corner and gently fanned it in front of the incense with his hand. The incense smoke floated up and spread all over the room in the blink of an eye.
This incense can make people hallucinate and make people have ghosts in their hearts.
He will be fine after taking the antidote, but Su Xiaoxi will definitely have hallucinations tonight.
Tomorrow she will naturally say that this place is haunted and run away like crazy. He has tried this trick many times and it always works.
There were light footsteps outside the door, and he immediately pretended to be in a vegetative state without closing his eyes.
