Chapter 274

"Naughty beast, stop for me!"

Gu Shengchang flicked his sleeves violently, bringing up a gust of wind. He pointed at Gu Mingzhu, his face was full of sternness, and he did not have the kind of pampering and connivance towards Gu Mingzhu in the past.

He glanced at the women on both sides, "What are you still doing blankly? Take the young miss back to the room, and don't take a single step out of the room without my order!"

The mother-in-law was frightened by Gu Shengchang, and hesitated for a while, but her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she still stepped forward as she said, trying to reach out to hold Gu Mingzhu.

"Get out of the way—Father, why don't you let me see my mother? I want to see my mother! You all get out of here, I want to see my mother..." Gu Mingzhu waved the two wives away, her voice hoarse, with Questioning a bit, he said to Gu Shengchang with a red and swollen face.

Gu Shengchang gritted his teeth and stared at the two women who were stunned for a while, "Are they all dead? Can't you hear me!"

The two wives simply decided to hold Gu Mingzhu up, ignored her struggling and scolding, and took her back to her boudoir, and locked the door.

Patting on the door frame, Gu Mingzhu kicked the door, "Let me out, let me see my mother! Someone, let me out..."

She heard the sound of locks being locked outside, and her heart sank.

Then I heard the mother-in-law return to her with a somewhat helpless and forceful voice, "Miss... Madam is sick in bed, it is not suitable to see you... You should listen to the master and rest in the room, don't make a fuss." .”

"You guys are talking nonsense! My mother has always been in good health, how could she be bedridden and unable to see me! Let me out—" Gu Mingzhu coughed violently, her throat was so sore that she could hardly speak.

In the end, no one responded to her, and she had no strength, so she could only lean against the door slumped, sitting on the ground, staring blankly at the familiar room in front of her that made her feel so dazed and scared.

evening.

"Why, Missy still refuses to eat?" Gu Shengchang pressed his eyebrows, and after hearing the butler's message, he asked with a sullen face.

The housekeeper sighed helplessly, "Yes, Missy, she refused to eat or drink, and even passed out at noon. The doctor said... Missy is very weak and depressed. If she doesn't eat and sleep well , This body is going to collapse!"

Hearing this, Gu Shengchang raised his thick eyebrows fiercely, and threw the official document in his hand on the table, "Huh, this shameless thing still has the face to go on a hunger strike to protest? Go, try to get her to feed me, she is about to It's the prince and concubine of the Southern Kingdom, if something happens to you, you don't want to live!"

With Gu Shengchang's intimidation, the housekeeper plopped down on his knees in fright, raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and replied in embarrassment, "Yes, yes, the villain dare not..."

out of the study.

The housekeeper called the mother-in-law and asked about Gu Mingzhu's current state. The mother-in-law shook her head helplessly, "This eldest lady has always been stubborn, and she will never listen to persuasion. If you don't drink water and medicine well with this voice, I'm afraid it will be ruined." Already!"

That good voice is now so hoarse, if it continues like this, it will be ruined.

Hearing this, the butler gritted his teeth, thinking of Gu Shengchang's deterrence, he had to spend more time on the issue of Gu Mingzhu's meal.

So he thought about it, and said to the old woman, "You, go and ask the old woman next to Madam to persuade her."

The mother-in-law was stunned and hesitated, "But, didn't the Duke of the country order...that the eldest lady is not allowed to contact people in the wife's yard?"

Compared with the hidden dangers of the mother-in-law, the housekeeper is obviously more concerned about the problem that Gu Mingzhu will not be able to keep his head if he does not eat or drink like this.

"If you are told to go, don't talk nonsense. Why don't you just go secretly? The master said, if the young lady has something good or bad, we will all die!"

As soon as Gu Shengchang said this, the mother-in-law immediately changed her expression, and nodded tremblingly, "Okay, I'll go right away, I'll go right away!"

After half an hour.

"Miss, you can just eat something, if this goes on, how can your body bear it..." A group of maids surrounded Gu Mingzhu, persuading her to eat and drink, but the latter just looked like a doll with a blank expression Sitting there, motionless.

The woman the housekeeper ordered to bring, who was the most powerful maid in front of Mrs. Gu, couldn't help being shocked when she saw this situation, and then looked at Gu Mingzhu's haggard and thin face, and the swollen face even after taking the medicine. face.

Could not help but raise his hand to wipe away tears.

"Remember, what should be said should not be said, be careful." Before letting her in, the guard woman warned.

She nodded, wiped away her tears, picked up the food box and quickened her pace, went up the steps, and entered the door.

"Miss." She saluted Gu Mingzhu first.Then he winked at the others, "You all go down, I'm enough here."

And her appearance really caused Gu Mingzhu's eyes to move. She looked at the mother-in-law excitedly, opened her mouth, and her eyes flashed with eagerness.

The mother-in-law gave her a reassuring look, and she closed the door after everyone else retreated. Regardless of the changed face of the mother-in-law outside, she turned around and opened the food box, and took out the plates, bowls and chopsticks one by one. .

"Miss, no matter what happens, you have to take care of yourself." She handed the chopsticks, but Gu Mingzhu refused to take it. Rou Rou, "Miss, Madam asked me to bring you these words."

"My mother?!" Gu Mingzhu was finally willing to speak, her hoarse voice sounded like an old woman in her decades, she grabbed her hand, "What happened to my mother? Tell me, what happened to my mother!"

The mother-in-law shook her head silently, raised her hand in a silent motion, and signaled her not to disturb the guards outside.

Then he walked up to Gu Mingzhu and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "Madam, she... can't do it anymore. But Miss, you have to be strong, Madam's biggest concern is you. Don't believe the words of the master, no It was because of your wife that I fell ill..."

"What?!" Gu Mingzhu's eyes widened, her eyes were full of disbelief, mother can't do it?What is going on with all this...

Just when she was about to continue questioning, the urging voice of the guard woman sounded from outside, "The time has come."

Gu Mingzhu shook her head, looked at the mother-in-law who had no choice but to get up, grabbed her hand and refused to let go, "Please explain clearly, what's going on!"

Listening to the urging and footsteps outside, the old woman looked at Gu Mingzhu again, gritted her teeth, broke away from her hand, and quickly said to her, "Miss, live on, live on for Madam and yourself! Madam, she I was killed by the master! Don't trust others, don't trust anyone, you have to protect yourself—"

"What are you dawdling for?" Just after the words were finished, the door opened, and the guard woman stared at the big maid vigilantly, with a worried expression on her face.

"It's nothing, miss, she is willing to eat obediently, so I will stay longer if I am happy." The woman next to Mrs. Gu wiped the corners of her eyes, walked out with an empty food box without changing her expression, and explained.

"Mommy!"

Gu Mingzhu called her hoarsely, but only saw the door slowly closing.
