Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 12

Yin Huan smiled, but did not continue, but Gu Yizhe pursed his mouth, "If you cut it off, it will grow. If you don't cut it off, the inside will not bloom, so it will wither."

Gu Yizhe's words hit Yin Huan's heart like thunder, restraining his trembling hands, Yin Huan put the cup back on the table, and looked at him with a forced smile, "The sun is going down soon, my If you have homework, go back first."

After leaving Fengqing Courtyard, Yin Huan almost fled back to Zhuqing Courtyard. An Xia couldn't catch up behind him, so Yin Huan threw herself on the bed, looked up at the top of the bed, looked at the shaking tassels, Sixth brother's words echoed in his ears from time to time.

After hearing what An Xia said, Er Dong hurried into the house, and before he reached the inner room, he heard Yin Huan's laughter. After a while, the laughter stopped, and Er Dong rushed in to see that Yin Huan was lying quietly. There, only the two lines of tears on the cheeks were clearly visible.

"Miss, what's the matter with you, don't scare Er Dong, miss." Er Dong rushed over to hug her up, singing happily like a doll off the thread, and let her hug her with her limbs off the ground, without any response.

It turns out that it's not that you are kind and don't give and take, others will think you are kind, just like that flower bush, if you don't cut it, the back will not grow, and she Gu Yinhuan is humble and not beautiful, but it is theirs. Obstruction, even if she doesn't fight or grab, as long as she blocks some positions, she must be the one to be cleared.

Is it because she was born lower than them?

Yin Huan looked up at Er Dong in a trance, there are thousands of kinds of people in this world, and there are also thousands of kinds of flowers, just because her flower is not beautiful enough, should it be eliminated?
"Miss, what's wrong with you, miss?" Er Dong saw that her eyes were focused, and reached out to touch her face. Yin Huan finally cried out. It was the first time that she released her inner hysterically for more than two months. mood……

From mid-September, the weather was getting a bit cooler. Yin Huan got a new set of autumn clothes this year, which was more than the sisters in the same yard. The nanny meant the ones ordered by her mother to make up for the ones that got dirty when she fell into the water. set.

After please An, I went down to the female hall. Yin Huan passed by Gu Yinfang's house on the way. There was a woman guarding the door all the time. Because her father returned to Hui'an, Aunt Qian came here in five or six days after the ban was lifted. She didn't care about that. I beg you to release it sooner.

"Miss Seven." The woman at the door yelled when she saw Yin Huan, and Gu Yinfang who was inside ran to the window and yelled, "Gu Yinhuan, are you here to see my jokes?"

"Sixth Sister, I know you've been locked up for a few days and you're so bored, you'll be released soon." Yin Huan walked to the window and looked at her with a smile on his face, "If Sixth Sister is really bored, my younger sister is willing to stand I’m here to chat with you, to relieve boredom.”

Seeing her wearing new clothes, Gu Yinfang was furious. This time, she did not wrong the wrong person. She was indeed the one who pushed her into the pond. But if she hadn't spoken rudely, how could she have done this by mistake.

"Who wants you to pretend to be kind." Remembering what my sister said, Gu Yinfang didn't say anything, and closed the window with a 'snap'. The old woman was just watching a good show, and the sisterly love had to be over. Okay, a look of hurt flashed across Yin Huan's face, and finally left with his head down.

It only took half a day. After taking a nap, Er Dong told Yin Huan the rumors of the servants. With a 'click', an extra branch fell off, and Yin Huan took the scissors and planted half of it in a pot. trimmed the flowers, "Who did you hear that from?"

"When I went to the kitchen, I heard from the lady who made the fire there." Er Dong looked at the flowers his young lady put in, no matter how he looked at it, he thought it was much more beautiful than the second young lady's, but the young lady always put it away for a while after inserting it. I unplugged them all again and never left them for more than a day.

The kitchen is always a place where the news is mixed. The maids and women always like to gossip around the stove when they are bored, and the gossip will only become more and more wrong as it spreads. The younger sister came to see it with good intentions, but she was scolded by her elder sister. One is that adults don't remember the faults of villains and repays grievances with virtue, and the other is that they will never change their nature.

It doesn't take long for a reputation to be ruined.

"The flower bed in front of the house, I think it is empty or empty. The flower seeds sent by the sixth young master last time, you can see which ones can be planted, and plant some." Yin Huan put down the scissors, and put the flower pot An Xia let An Xia hold the bag and put it on the shelf, got up and went out of the house, outside the house was the evening sky with a tinge of red, with some afterglow of the sun, waiting for the night to come.

The night came quietly, and the Gu mansion was quiet. Suddenly, the Bauhinia courtyard in the big room was lit up. A tall man opened the door and came out. He was wearing a coat and hurried to Mrs. Gu's courtyard. A smaller figure came out and called a few maids into the room.

Dongfang had just revealed his belly, and the gatekeepers in various courtyards were all dozing off. The gate of Gu's mansion opened, and one of them got on the horse, and quickly left the gate of Gu's mansion.

Two days later, Yin Huan found out that the war broke out again. Gu Guogong rushed to Xitu overnight, and the emperor sent tens of thousands of troops to support him. The battle was urgent.

Before Yin Huan could see Mrs. Mu, the news of Gu Guogong's death came back in just half a month. It was like dropping a boulder on a quiet lake, causing countless waves and ripples.

Mrs. Gu fainted immediately after hearing the bad news, and people in the Gu residence became panicked. Once Gu Guogong died, the Gu family would be disbanded.

Going through this incident again, Yin Huan is no longer worried. Except for the heartbroken Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Mu, the other two families are most worried about whether the Duke's title, the Emperor, will be taken back. There is no reason to live in the Gu Mansion anymore. The separation of the family is a small matter, and how to live after the separation is the key point, especially for the third room.

Mrs. Gu's fiftieth birthday's red silks were not completely removed, and a new white silk was about to be hung up. She seemed to be silent in a deep sadness. Listless, he suddenly felt it was funny, the future of the Gu family, from the wife and master to a sweeping woman, was very worrying.

This morning, Yin Huan met Mrs. Mu in the small Buddhist hall behind the big garden.

Yin Huan would wake up very early every holiday day after healed from rebirth. This small Buddhist hall was established very early. It was already there when the Gu family was first established. Later, the Gu family was thriving. A large Buddhist hall was built, and the one here was abandoned. Only an elderly woman was cleaning.

Yin Huan knelt on the futon, folded her hands and closed her eyes, praying, besides Zhuqingyuan, this is the only place that is truly quiet, with a faint scent of fragrant wood, and only here, whenever she Opening her eyes, her heart felt more at ease when she saw her little hands. What she feared most was that when she woke up, it would be a foolish dream to go back to the past.

Mrs. Mu stood at the door without making a sound, watching the little figure kneeling on the futon, praying motionlessly, and the woman cleaning the Buddhist hall behind her was even more afraid to make a sound.

"Ma'am." The servant girl standing next to Mrs. Mu lowered her head and shouted softly. Mrs. Mu reached out her hand to stop her from continuing, gave Yin Huan a faint look, turned around and went down the stairs.

Siqi helped his wife to leave, and turned back not long after. The moment Mrs. Li saw her, she was very respectful, "Miss Siqi, what other orders do you have?"

"Grandma Li will kill Siqi like this. No one has come to this small Buddhist hall for many years. The lady at the end of this place is from some courtyard." Siqi smiled and took a look at the small Buddhist hall. inside.

"Since the old slave came here, there have been very few people here. Only the eldest lady will come here a few times throughout the year. Starting from August, the seventh lady will come here every five days. They always come at dawn. Kneeling for quite some time, once when the old servant saw this Seventh Miss came out, her eyes were red and she seemed to have cried."

"Miss Seven you are talking about, but the lady who was pushed into the water on the old lady's birthday last time?" Seeing Mrs. Li nodded, Siqi smiled and stuffed some broken silver into her hand, "The lady just came here today Granny Li doesn’t need to tell Miss Seven, I’ll buy you some candy for your grandson with the money.” After asking, Siqi went back.

Before the time came, Xi Qiu came to remind Yin Huan, his legs felt a little numb when he got up, Yin Huan stood for a while before walking out of the Buddhist hall, seeing that Mrs. Li was in a good mood and asked, "I just heard that someone came, is Yin Huan here?" Because of the Buddhist hall?"

"How could it be, Miss Seven, it's just a familiar woman who came to see this old slave." Mrs. Li won't say that Mrs. Li has been here because of the benefits. Yin Huan signaled to Xi Qiu to give Mrs. Li some money, "There are so many disturbances these days , just accept it."

Mrs. Li sent Yin Huan out with a smile, bit the broken silver into her mouth, and felt happy when her teeth ached, no wonder there were birds singing on the branches outside the window when I got up early in the morning, it was a good thing...

Four days later, Gu Guogong's body was transported back to Lin'an City, and the moment it was sent to the mourning hall of Gu's mansion, Mrs. Gu, supported by two maids, threw herself onto Gu Guogong's coffin, asking someone to open the coffin and say that she wanted to see her. As soon as the coffin was opened, she cried again and passed out.

Mrs. Mu stood at the door and listened to the crying from behind, and suppressed the grief in his eyes. It was Gu Guogong's subordinates who brought the coffin back, "Madam, when we arrived, the Duke of Guo was already dead, and the brothers carried him away. Come back, find someone to sew Grandpa up, this is what Grandpa has been holding in his hand."

Mrs. Mu took the blood-soaked purse with trembling hands, a little dust stuck to it, and the edges were already torn, revealing a corner of the jade pendant. With a shake of her figure, Siqi behind her hurriedly supported her, Mrs. Mu squeezed the purse tightly, Taking a deep breath, he held back the tears, "I'm sorry for your inconvenience, but it's been a rough few days, you should go back first."

Tomorrow is the day of the funeral, Mu Shi sent people to send those subordinates away, dismissed all the maids and stayed alone in the Buddhist hall, the coffin was still half open, Mu Shi supported the edge of the coffin so that he did not slip fall down.

The person who was still fine on the old lady's birthday, the person who was still warm on the day when she sent him away, now only has a cold body, and the stitched wiring can still be seen vaguely on the neck, and Mrs. Mu touched Gu Yulang's with trembling hands. face, and finally cried out.

Siqi, who was guarding outside, listened to his wife's cries, and secretly wiped his tears. Now that the Duke is gone, what will the wife do...

At night in the Gu mansion, the sound of mourning can be heard even from the Zhuqingyuan. Yin Huan lay on the bed listening to the continuous sound of gongs and drums. Gu Guogong didn’t even have a child to send a soul. In the beginning, they had children, and the Mu family was still pregnant with twins, but in the end, the dragon and phoenix twins were born, one was dead in the womb, and the daughter who was born alive died within seven days.

After that, they had no children. For so many years, Gu Guogong has never taken a concubine, not even a concubine. The relationship between the husband and wife is so good that others are envious. Mrs. Gu has always wanted Gu Guogong to adopt a child of her own brother so that he can inherit it in the future. Neither Gu's mansion nor Gu Guogong agreed.

How heartbroken she must be, precisely because of the deep love between the couple, once one leaves first, it is still the same way, how can the other live well.

Yin Huan thought.

She had never felt like this before, never experienced feelings like this.But as long as you imagine it, you can feel the pain, let alone the person involved.

On the sixth day of the [-]th lunar month, the gate of Gu's Mansion was also full of visitors. What was different from the birthday celebration day was that there was no sound of congratulations, no carts of congratulatory gifts, and no brightly dressed guests. The several white lights that were set up all rendered a strong atmosphere of grief.

Yin Huan was dressed in white and walked to the yard in front of the mourning hall. The sound of mourning became clearer and clearer. She straightened the white flower on her head. Yin Huan was about to walk over when a person walked up to her suddenly and bumped into her. He fell to the ground, and the bracelet on his hand broke brittlely...
