As Zixuan's uncle, Guo Huaiyi certainly hopes that Zixuan will smile and be happy, but the person she likes, even if she agrees with it, is a concubine who is intentional and ruthless. In the end, there is no result, and she is the only one who suffers.
When he lowered his head and glanced at Zixuan's neck, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking carefully, he suddenly discovered that the fish-shaped jade that had been worn on Zixuan's neck had now turned into an ordinary pendant.
He stared at her sharply and said word by word, "Zixuan, where is the jade around your neck?"
When Zixuan heard this, her whole body trembled, her eyes were panicked, and in panic, she quickly covered the exposed pendant and said incomparably, "Ah~ uncle, this...that jade, I...I put it in the room."
With this answer, even if she didn't want to, she knew that this was definitely not what she said. Otherwise, she wouldn't have acted so panicked and covered the pendant immediately. What's more, she wore the jade all year round and would never take it off easily.
It can be seen that she was definitely lying when she said she put the jade in the room.
Guo Huaiyi said solemnly, "Where should I put it in the room?"
Zixuan nodded and said without thinking, "Yes... put it... put it. It's in the room anyway. Uncle, don't worry, Zixuan will protect it."
Halfway through her words, she couldn't speak clearly and could only deal with it vaguely.
How could Guo Huaiyi let it go? The fish-shaped jade was the only relic left by his sister during her lifetime. Regardless of whether it was expensive or not, its existence itself was worth more than the price.
While it was left to Zixuan to think about, it was also their only concern.
Guo Huaiyi refused and said, "Put it somewhere and bring it to your uncle to see."
Zixuan's hands trembled subconsciously and she said coquettishly, "Uncle, Xuan'er forgot where she kept it for a while. Can you please check it out after a while and bring it back to you?"
Guo Huaiyi shook his head and said bluntly, "No, uncle must see it today. If you don't go and get it, uncle, I will go to your room to get it myself."
Zixuan slapped her head in despair, how could she be so careless and accidentally reveal the pendant, and most importantly, let her uncle see it.
She frowned tightly, lowered her head and said nothing, her brain was working rapidly, and she was thinking nervously about how to deal with the current problem.
Guo Huaiyi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned to look at the small tree on one side and shouted, "Little tree, come here."
While the two were talking, Xiaoshu stood beside him. He could hear the conversation clearly and clearly. When he suddenly heard shouting, he certainly understood what Guo Huaiyi was doing at this time, but when he thought about Peiyu, he became inexplicably panicked.
.
He moved slowly and said fearfully, "Master, are you okay?"
Although Xiaoshu is now Zixuan's personal maid, it was Guo Huaiyi who sent her there to take care of Zixuan's maid, so she did not dare to refuse Guo Huaiyi's request no matter what.
"To be honest, where did the lady's jade go?"
Guo Huaiyi's eyes were as bright as fire, and his tone was calm but full of irresistible magic.
Xiaoshu hesitated and had no choice but to look at Zixuan.
Zixuan had no choice but to stand up and say, "Uncle, Xiaoshu doesn't know, so don't embarrass her."
Guo Huaiyi paused and said expressionlessly, "Go to the chief steward yourself to receive the punishment."
Zixuan immediately pulled Guo Huaiyi, "Uncle, you...how could you do this?"
Guo Huaiyi looked at him blankly, his eyes stopped on the small tree, and he shouted directly, "Go quickly."
"Yes, sir."
Xiaoshu nodded, stood up and was about to leave.
Zixuan quickly stopped, "Xiaoshu, don't go."
Then he looked at Guo Huaiyi and said angrily, "Uncle, you let Xiaoshu stay, I said, can't you do it?"
Guo Huaiyi said nothing and kept looking at her. The meaning was self-evident!
Zixuan paused for a while and whispered softly, "Uncle, if Zixuan tells the truth, don't be angry."
Guo Huaiyi looked serious, waiting for her follow-up.
"Uncle, I sent someone to send my mother's jade to Nanyi Prefecture."
After saying that, Zixuan lowered her head, like a child who made a mistake, waiting for an adult to scold her.
"What?"
After hearing this, Guo Huaiyi stood up suddenly and stared at her in disbelief.
"You...you mean, your mother's jade, you had someone send it to Nanyi Prefecture?"
"Yeah!" Zixuan responded softly without raising her head.
"You...you are just fooling around! You damn girl, you tell me, get up, I have to teach you a lesson today."
After confirming again and learning that Peiyu had been sent away, Guo Huaiyi flew into a rage, cursed at Zixuan, and uttered harsh words to teach her a lesson.
Zixuan did not run away, but took the initiative to raise her head and said firmly, "If you want to fight, uncle, just fight him! Anyway, I have sent Peiyu out."
Guo Huaiyi raised his right hand fiercely, but when he pointed it at her face, he finally refused to let it go, but the curses continued.
"You damn girl, do you really want to piss off your uncle and me?"
"Zixuan doesn't."
"No? How dare you say no?"
Guo Huaiyi was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
"Zhang Wu, Yixiu, Yining...there are eighteen people in total. They are all your uncle's personal guards. There are only twenty people in total. You...actually sent eighteen of them. That's...
Eighteen people! Just to protect such a thing, you actually killed ninety-nine percent of my uncle's personal guards."
It is said that Zhang Wu's eighteen men were all elites in the army. Among them, Guo Yixiu and Guo Yining were Guo Huaiyi's adopted sons. If Zixuan hadn't threatened him, Guo Huaiyi would never have sent the eighteen men to protect Ling Yun.
Those eighteen people are the family background that Guo Huaiyi has cultivated with so much hard work!
Unexpectedly, Zixuan, a damn girl, was so prodigal that she would wipe out all his wealth for an outsider. He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, what kind of cruelty is this...!
"If you go, then go! But now you actually sent the jade over too. You are really going to make uncle angry. I should have thought of it earlier. That guy was demoted to Lingnan a few years ago. As long as he takes the
If Peiyu goes to find him, that guy will definitely help you take care of Lingyun's bastard things for Peiyu's sake."
"Ha~ Uncle doesn't understand, what's so good about that bastard Ling Yun? That makes you so obsessed with him? Yes, uncle admits that he saved your life, but you haven't saved him enough times over the years.
That time?"
Guo Huaiyi chattered endlessly, venting his inner resentment, but Zixuan remained silent.
"Speak and tell uncle, what's so good about him? That he makes you miss him so much?"
"Uncle, I...I don't know, but I...just can't worry about him."
Zixuan shook her head gently. She couldn't tell what was so good about him, but he was such a young man. From the moment he saved her, no matter how ordinary and insignificant he was, she would never forget him.
Perhaps, this is a bad fate.
Just because he saved her.
From then on, he was the only one in her heart.
