Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 16

Fang called out Gu Yucheng's name, trembling with anger, looked at Gu Yucheng with trembling hands in disbelief, "You blame me, you still blame me?"

"I've been married to you for several years. Have I ever complained to you about anything? How did you know that I don't like Aunt Qian? Now you're blaming me for not taking the children to the sister-in-law's place. How much do you know about the matter, and you will say that as soon as you come back." Fang looked at him wrongedly, and tears fell.

Gu Yucheng couldn't remember how long it had been since he saw his wife cry, and since she gave birth to her son, she had almost never been angry. Knowing that he had said something that shouldn't be said, Gu Yucheng stood up and hugged Fang in apologetic way, "All these years, the family It's also thanks to you, I know that mother has made things difficult for you, but I said something wrong just now, don't cry."

Fang pushed him hard a few times, but she didn't push him away, she thumped his back and cried, Qing Ya at the door finally stopped when she heard his wife's cry and the master's voice, and turned to the two maids behind her. He ordered, "Go and bring some hot water."

That night, Aunt Qian waited in Yingchun Courtyard until Youshi had passed but did not see Gu Yucheng's figure, so she sent her servant girl to look at him again, while she went back to her room and changed her clothes again, smelled the fragrance of her cuffs, and looked in the mirror Picking up the pen on the dressing table, I lightly added a few strokes between the eyebrows, pursed my lips slightly, and then walked to the soft couch with satisfaction, picked up the hem of the skirt and sat on it lightly, leaning over On that mat, the posture is very attractive.

Not long after, the maid came back, and looked at Aunt Qian tremblingly after entering the door, "The gatekeeper woman of Lan Xinyuan said that the master and wife have rested in the house, and the lights have been turned off."

With a "crash", Aunt Qian got up and swept the dishes on the table in front of her. Regardless of the dirt on her cuffs, she got up and walked to the door. His expression changed again and again, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Go and see if Second Miss is asleep. If she hasn't, please come over."

The servant girl was frightened a long time ago, and hurried out. Mother He brought a servant girl in to clean up. Aunt Qian put on a coat casually and walked down the corridor. When she looked up, she saw the empty sky, and narrowed her eyes slightly. , the corner of the mouth raised, you can block me, if there is no good person in the backyard, you can't choose my daughter...

Yin Huan's heart trembled suddenly in the Zhuqing courtyard, and his hand trembled on his finger, and with a slight sound, Yin Huan put his finger into his mouth, and a bloody smell spread in his mouth, Er Dong hurriedly fell back Hot water, let Yin Huan soak his hands in the water, and muttered, "Miss, I'll embroider tomorrow, it's so late, you see, your hands are already pricked."

"It's okay." Yin Huan looked at the blood bead that came out, wiped it away with his fingers and pressed it for a while, and looked up to look out the window, unknowingly, the night was already dark.

There was a movement from far and near, Yin Huan looked out of the window with his head, someone seemed to pass by the arched door on the opposite corner, it was so late, all the fires in Zhuqing courtyard should have been turned off, who went out in such a hurry.

The initial uneasiness in my heart has not dissipated, just now there was a tremor for no reason, as if something was about to happen.

Seeing her in a daze, Er Dong decided to clean up her things and asked her to go to bed early.

The next morning, I went to the Lanxin Academy to say hello, Fang took care of them in good spirits and took care of my body when it was cold, and also kept Gu Yinshuang, after leaving the Lanxin Academy, Gu Yinfang was proud Looking at them anxiously, "Look, I said not to fight with the second sister, and mother didn't keep you!" After speaking, he gave Yin Huan a provocative look.

Both Gu Yinlian and Gu Yinhua's complexions changed slightly. Fang's move really made people guess a lot.

In the Lanxin Courtyard, Gu Yucheng looked at the eldest daughter kindly, exchanged a glance with Fang and said, "Shuang'er, I discussed with your mother last night, and I will choose a day to enroll you under your mother's name."

Gu Yinshuang suddenly raised her head to look at them, holding the handkerchief on her knee with her small hand, she said nothing, Fang pursed her lips and smiled, "Looking at the child, you must be very happy."

Gu Yinshuang squeezed out a smile, knelt down and thanked Mrs. Fang, who kindly helped her up, "You are a well-behaved and sensible child, and my mother has always seen her in her eyes. In a few years, it will be time for you to discuss marriage." I have discussed it with your father, let you be raised under my name as soon as possible, and take you out and around more."

Gu Yinshuang's face was blushed, she lowered her head shyly, Gu Yucheng was very satisfied with her reaction, Fang Shi said, "Let's get this done as soon as possible."

Fang nodded, and asked Qingya to find someone to send Gu Yinshuang to the female hall. At night, in Yingchun courtyard, Aunt Qian looked at Gu Yucheng with tears in her eyes, and said weakly, "Master, why did you say that you want to let me go at this moment?" Where is the second lady under the name of the wife?"

"Didn't you always want to do this? Why are you unhappy now?" Gu Yucheng raised her chin and kissed her lips. It was a faint rose nectar with a hint of sweetness, matched with money Auntie's charming look made him want to hug her to the bed in an instant.

"I hate it~" Aunt Qian lowered her head and tapped his chest lightly, "Now the eldest lady is going to adopt a child, and Aru can only be a concubine in this life, I hope the two young ladies can be well, if the second young lady is adopted , I can find a good marriage in the future, and it can also help the master." Aunt Qian was as soft as a river of spring water, and gently hooked his waist with her foot.

"Shuang'er is under Madam's name, which means that Shuang'er is good. My sister-in-law must choose a well-behaved child. Among so many children, I am most optimistic about her." This is a good opportunity that fell from the sky. Well, for Gu Yucheng, the favor of living in the Gu mansion and Gu Guogong did not bring him much benefit. His father passed away early, so if he wants to get promoted and make a fortune, he still has to rely on his daughter to marry.

"Then why don't you go to Da Furen and ask, as an aunt, I can't help you with anything other than giving birth to her." Aunt Qian was about to cry as she spoke, and gently grabbed Gu Yucheng's clothes, tears were It's pity that he hangs around like this.

"You gave birth to such good two children, there is no use for anything." Gu Yucheng couldn't see a woman crying. Aunt Qian's showing weakness had already flattered him as a man. Seeing that there was no one in the room Someone picked up Aunt Qian and walked directly to the bed.

Inside the house, Aunt Qian kept panting, the spring in the tent was in stark contrast to the cold winter outside...

Gu Yucheng went back after staying at home for a few days. Except for Aunt Qian, the other aunts also tried their best to let Gu Yucheng see their children more, but there was no movement in the Bauhinia Courtyard at Da Furen's place. It seems that Sanfang is very lively here.

Mrs. Gu came out of the Buddhist hall, and the old mother who had served her for more than ten years helped her to sit down in the inner room, "I heard that the fifth lady in the Zhuqing Courtyard was dyed a few days ago, and her body turned red. The rash, have you seen the doctor?"

Mother Xu poured her a cup of ginseng tea, "Look, I said that I ate something bad, and I should take good care of it, otherwise it will easily leave scars in the future."

"You're so young, how can you get scars? It's cold, what kind of bad things can you eat?" Madam Gu sighed. When I grow up, there are some things that I don't want to take care of even if I feel like a mirror in my heart.

"As long as this body is fine." Xu's mother smoothed her back for her. The most taboo thing about this girl's family is two things. One is her appearance, and the other is her body. If she is weak, she will marry someone There are many problems in childbirth.

"Wan Tingna didn't say anything all the time, and if she continues to make such a fuss, I don't think there is any need to adopt it."

Mrs. Gu's worry is not unfounded. Ever since Gu Yinhua ate something by mistake in Zhuqing courtyard, the atmosphere has become more tense. When the rash appeared, Gu Yinhua screamed that it was Gu Yinfang who harmed her. , but there is no evidence, so let it go. Gu Yinlian feared that she would not be able to avoid Gu Yinfang, and she was not as close as before.

Gu Yinshuang, who seldom moved around, unexpectedly invited Yin Huan over to drink soup today. Gu Yinshuang's boudoir, Yin Huan had visited many times in previous lives, but this is the second time in this life. Aunt Qian really loves her Yes, the furnishings in this room are much better than those in hers, and having an uncle from her aunt's family is also beneficial.

Gu Yinshuang sent a servant girl to bring up all the warming soup, and said with a soft smile, "You guys drink it first, I still have something to ask Seventh Sister."

Yin Huan was pulled into the inner room by her, and Gu Yinshuang pointed to a half-embroidered painting that she had just embroidered, "Last time I saw my sister's embroidery skills at the old lady's birthday, this time is just right, I don't know your embroidery skills." Yes, you teach me."

Yin Huan took a look at her room and found such a large embroidery shelf in the inner room, wouldn't it look awkward? She turned her head and smiled calmly, "Second sister won the prize, who doesn't know that second sister's embroidery work is in Gu's house? They are all excellent, how dare my sister show off in front of my sister."

"Don't be humble." Gu Yinshuang took her hand and said sincerely, then suddenly whispered, "Wait, I'll go get something."

Yin Huan watched her leave, stood in front of the embroidered cloth, and his eyes fell on a wooden box in front of Gu Yinshuang's dressing table. The box, the exquisite box was empty.

Yin Huan paused inwardly, looked at the size of the traces of the placed objects in the box, and quickly returned to the embroidered cloth, pretending to look at the painting.

Gu Yinshuang didn't come back either fast or slow, as if she had spared that time specially for her. When she came in, she was holding a handkerchief, "I embroidered this in my spare time. I forgot to give it to you just now. How about you?" Don't be disgusted."

"Why would I dislike something that Second Sister gave me, thank you Second Sister." Yin Huan spread it out to look at it, put it in his arms, talked to her about the embroidery method casually, and went out.

Walking behind Gu Yinshuang, Yin Huan deliberately took a look at her headgear. There were only two jade hairpins inserted in the box. It was absolutely impossible for the box to be just a decoration. Happy, excused to go to Aunt Zhou's place, and left early.

Yin Huan went out from the front door of Zhuqing Courtyard, took Xi Qiu back to Zhuqing Courtyard through the small door on the back side, returned to his room and saw An Xia guarding the door and asked, "Did someone come here just now?" .”

"Miss, how do you know that just now Juxiang brought a maid over to say she was looking for Sister Erdong, but Sister Erdong was not here, so Juxiang said that she used to serve Miss, so she waited in the room for a while and then left."

"How long have you been away?" Yin Huan walked into the room. Er Dong went to Aunt Zhou's place this morning and still hasn't come back. An Xia was alone in the room, so it was very easy to get out.

"It's not long since I left." An Xia looked at Yin Huan in confusion. Yin Huan walked into the inner room, first looked at the dressing table, walked over and opened all the boxes one by one, nothing unusual.

Could it be her delusion, Yin Huan opened the drawer under the dressing table, and it was neatly placed without any trace of tampering.

"Miss, what are you looking for?" Seeing her searching up and down, An Xia thought she had lost something, so she helped her to find it, Yin Huan stopped her, looked around under the quilt, and finally landed on the shelf next to the bed On the top, there are two pots of plants on the top and bottom.

Yin Huan jumped off the bed and walked over. Seeing that the word "Lu" on the lower pot was not aligned with the word "Fu" on the top, he reached out and hugged the potted plant down.

The soil next to the potted plant has obviously been dug...

Gu Yinfang's voice came from outside the house very quickly. Yin Huan soaked his hands in warm water and washed them again and again, then picked up the cloth towel beside him and dried them. It came so fast.

When Gu Yinfang opened the door, she saw Xi Qiu stunned, "Didn't Seventh Sister go to Aunt Zhou's place?" Yin Huan came out from behind the small screen and said with a smile, "Sister asked this, if she didn't know that I'm back, What is the purpose of coming here in such a hurry!"

Behind Gu Yinfang were the sisters in Gu Yinshuang's room. Gu Yinshuang gently pulled her sister, "Seventh sister, we are here because we want to ask you something."

"Sister, please sit down, An Xia, go and make a pot of ginger tea." Yin Huan pulled them to sit down, "Second Sister, what do you want to ask?"

"It's like this. A golden hairpin in my room is gone. Only Seventh Sister and I have been in so many people. Second Sister wants to ask, Seventh Sister, have you seen that hairpin?" Gu Yinshuang said It's tactful, but these words point to the fact that only Yin Huan went in, and now the things are gone, if it wasn't hers, who else has them.

"Oh? Second sister, do you remember what the hairpin looks like?" Yin Huan warmed her hands with ginger tea and asked earnestly.

"The tail of the hairpin is hollowed out, engraved with a lotus pattern, and a gold thread wraps around the tail, with a pink bead hanging on it." Gu Yinshuang thought for a moment and said.

Yin Huan shook his head, "I've never seen it before."

"Gu Yinhuan, you stole something and pretended nothing happened, quickly take out sister's things!" Gu Yinfang shouted loudly.

"Yinfang, don't yell!" Gu Yinshuang scolded her with a downcast face, then looked at Yin Huan with a softened expression, "If Seventh Sister likes it, I'll give it to you, but I won't tell you And taking it, it really shouldn’t be.”
