Chapter 35: Vengeance
"you……"
Xin Nian was so angry that he walked around on the ground twice. Fang stood still and pointed at Aunt Gu's nose and cursed: "Please forgive me? Who cares about your apology? That is an innocent life, an innocent life! Poor parents in the world, whose parents are not the same?"
Are you thinking so much about your children? How many of you would kill someone for the sake of your children? If you do this, in the future Brother Chen will know that his mother is a murderer. What do you want him to think? How do you want him to behave among the children? What else do you want?
He has a good future? Do you still want me to take care of him? Every time you see him, you will think of his mother using poisonous snakes to kill people..."
"Stop talking...please stop talking..."
Just now, Aunt Gu looked like she was desperate for death, but when Xin Nian said a few words, all the consequences that she dared not think about deep in her heart were brought out, and she immediately collapsed.
"I can't help it, I really can't help it. I'm not like my sister, who can win the favor of my master as soon as I leave Qingliang Pavilion. Chen'er and I have never been outstanding in this family. Our lives are at stake.
In grandma's hands, we can only live if she wants us to live, and we have to die if she wants us to die. There is nothing I can do about it, but I don't want to bear this sin even if there is even the slightest way..."
"Why is there nothing you can do? Tell me what happened. Even though he doesn't favor you, he won't sit back and ignore you. You are afraid of grandma, but you are not afraid of killing someone? What do you think?"
"Master? I won't sit idly by, but so what? What can he do to grandma? Well, even if I get angry and divorce grandma and go home, how can he divorce the princess as well? That's his wife
Mother, will the princess spare me? Maybe I tell you, but I still don’t believe you. By then, grandma will beat you up, and neither of us will survive..."
Xin Nian's chest heaved violently. She stared blankly at Aunt Gu, watching her collapse on the ground, crying with snot and tears. She was angry because of this sinister and vicious thing, but at the same time she also clearly knew: Gu
What the aunt told is the truth.
One stood and the other knelt. No one spoke in the room, only the crying continued.
Perhaps Aunt Gu has indeed accumulated a lot of grievances over the years, and today she can finally vent them out happily. She actually cried so miserably that it was heartbreaking.
"Get up, wash your face and go back. Don't tell anyone what happened today. I'll ask the lady later. Whether you live or die depends on how she decides."
After Xin Nian finished speaking expressionlessly, Aunt Gu cried for a while, then stood up and thanked her. After washing her face, she returned to her yard miserably.
Here Xin Nian was sitting on the couch, rubbing her temples with her long fingers: Although everything was as she expected, when she personally confirmed the matter and heard Aunt Gu's words with her own ears, she could not help but feel chills in her heart.
The fight in the back house is really scary and dangerous. Good women will turn into swords and ghosts at some point.
"Auntie, I'm here." Xinghua entered the room at some unknown time and whispered beside Xin Nian: "I am in the east wing at the moment, teaching the sixth young master how to write. Maybe he will come to your room soon."
Xin Nian put down his hand with a snap and said angrily: "Go and tell him, just tell him that I feel bad and don't want to see anyone, and ask him to go back."
Xinghua asked in surprise: "What's going on? How could Aunt Gu turn her anger on me for what she did?"
"Excuse my anger? How could I just express my anger? She must marry three wives and four concubines, making this house a mess. How could she, a kind and beautiful person, enter this place, and she can only scheming and even murdering people?
But they have to do their best to please him, but these men feel proud of themselves and go out to boast."
Xinghua knew her master's temperament. When she was a girl, she sneered at the female precepts, saying that those were things that men used to tie up and harm women. She was scolded several times by the master for this. She hurriedly defended: "Master
Not that kind of person. What's more, regarding Auntie Gu, she also knows who is the real mastermind behind the scenes, so why did she blame me again?"
"It's true that the person behind the scenes is grandma, but the root cause is him."
"There's nothing you can do about it, aunt. It's natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines, especially for a man like me. Think about it again, why did we come out of Qingliang Pavilion? Just bear with it for now."
Xin Nian held his forehead with five fingers and lamented: "I also know that it's just the way of this world... Oh!"
"What's wrong? I heard you sighing at the door, but your mother came over today and made you feel uncomfortable?"
Following the words, Gu Changting came in from the door and said with a smile: "Xinghua's face is also a little pale. Is she sick? If she is sick, just rest. There are several girls in your courtyard. Although they are not as capable as you, they are still good.
Delivering tea and water, you can still handle the tasks of serving the master, right?"
Xinghua smiled quickly and said, "I'm not sick. Maybe I just stood outside for a long time."
After saying that, he turned around and winked at Xin Nian. The meaning was obvious: Auntie, please be gentler. You have already moved out of Qingliang Pavilion, but you still have to be as strong as before. Once you make me angry, you will not end well.
Having been a master and servant for many years, Xin Nian naturally understood what Xinghua meant, but she didn't want to go against her will and put in a lot of trouble to coax Gu Changting.
However, his expression softened slightly as he straightened his back and stood up, saying calmly: "Do you know everything?"
Gu Changting nodded, came to Xin Nian and comforted: "My mother is usually calm and easy-going, and she would not come to you to question me for this little thing. Today, she was probably instigated by the slaves, thinking that you were being tortured, so she came here in a hurry.
.”
"Torture? I have this heart, and I must have this ability. I can't be so reckless in the General's Mansion, let alone in Prince Duan's Mansion?"
Xin Nian sneered. Gu Changting laughed and said: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, you are not weak. I heard that grandma came to support you, and you found evidence that those slaves committed crimes, so let me
My mother’s face has been completely disgraced.”
"How could I bring the concubine to support me? I was prepared to be severely punished by the princess, but it was the madam who couldn't bear my failure, so she invited the concubine here."
"Why would mother punish you so severely for such a small thing? She just said a few words to you. Our family has always been generous to the servants. It is normal for her to feel unbearable when she sees these old slaves suffering."
Gu Changting put his arms around Xin Nian's shoulders, but saw her struggling to get out, and said calmly: "That's not necessarily true. The princess is not dissatisfied with my harshness, but she can't help but be instigated by someone with intentions? But there is nothing to complain about. I took charge of this matter myself.
