In the next few days, Gu Qingling stayed in Tingyun Pavilion and rarely went out.
Gu Cangyin and Gu Yunye came back to stay with her occasionally, but they seemed very busy most of the time.
In response, Baiyin just smiled mysteriously: "Miss, you will know why soon."
The little guy could only scratch his head in confusion.
The second and third brothers are not here, and the youngest fifth brother has a good relationship with Gu Mingzhu and has been staying with her these days.
When she was bored, she would go over to play with her fourth brother Gu Rujing.
The fourth brother seemed cold and reticent, but Lu Qingling discovered his little secret.
"Fourth brother, I'm here again!"
Lu Qingling pushed the door open a crack and poked out her little head. Her big eyes blinked, her face full of desire.
The young man in the room has a tall figure and long black hair tied into a ponytail. He is rolling up his sleeves and polishing a strange piece of wood with the file in his hand.
Hearing her little sister's voice, Gu Rujing put down the file and patted the sawdust off her body.
He curled his knuckles and pushed down the lens, whispering: "Little greedy cat."
Lu Qingling chuckled, ran over on her short legs, and beat his back diligently.
"Fourth brother, thank you for your hard work~ Xiao Qingling will give you a beating~"
A trace of helplessness flashed in Gu Rujing's cold eyes.
"Go sit over there and count the time. It's almost time."
"Okay!"
She happily sat down at the wooden table and put away some semi-finished parts placed on it.
At this time, Gu Rujing also came over with a plate of hot pastries.
The air was suddenly filled with a delicious aroma.
The little guy stared at the hot pastries on the plate, his mouth almost watering.
That's right, the fourth brother's little secret is: he loves to cook! And his skills are excellent!
Gu Rujing handed over the spoon and sat at the table with her chin in her hands and looked at her.
The little guy dug out a piece of pastry and ate it in one bite.
"How?"
Gu Rujing was unusually nervous.
Lu Qingling's eyes suddenly lit up, and she narrowed her smart eyes happily.
"Good times! Good times!"
She swayed her short legs happily, took another big spoonful and put it into her mouth, almost crying with emotion.
"Fourth brother! Li is really amazing!"
Woohoo, how come there are such delicious cakes?
Gu Rujing curled up the corners of her thin lips and lowered her long eyelashes: "You can make whatever you want. If you like to eat, I'll call you when I'm ready."
"Okay, okay!" She quickly agreed, fearing that Gu Rujing would regret it.
"I'm going to the martial arts arena later to try out my new armor. After you finish eating, please go back and don't touch anything in the house. Do you understand?"
"Yes! I can."
Although she was young, she was also very obedient. So Gu Rujing felt relieved about her and stood up to leave.
After finishing the pastries on the plate, the little guy carried the plate back to the kitchen, rinsed the plate and spoon with water, and planned to take a portion back to the maids and sisters.
Just then, there was a sound of the door opening, and she heard Gu Mingzhu mutter: "What, Gu Rujing isn't here?"
The little guy suddenly froze in place.
While she was hesitating, Gu Mingzhu had already followed the scent and found her.
The two looked at each other.
Gu Mingzhu frowned, with a look of disgust on his face: "Why are you here!"
Gu Qingling pursed her lower lip: "I came to play with Brother Rujing."
"You lied again, he wasn't even here."
Just as Gu Qingling was about to retort, she saw Gu Mingzhu holding an exquisite wooden butterfly in her hand.
She was startled: "That's Brother Rujing's thing, little sister, he won't let others touch it, please put it down quickly."
As soon as she heard this, Gu Mingzhu's heart suddenly burned with unknown fire.
"I don't! Gu Rujing is also my brother. I can touch his things if I want. Do you care about it?"
With an arrogant look on her face, Gu Mingzhu raised the wooden butterfly high and threw it to the ground hard!
"Look, even if I break it, it's none of your business!"
Gu Qingling's eyes widened and she quickly picked up the remains of the wooden butterfly with a distressed look on her face.
"Fourth brother will really be angry! Little sister, go and apologize to him..."
"I! Only! No!"
Gu Mingzhu shouted loudly, and became even more angry after seeing the cake residue in the corner of her mouth.
Is Gu Rujing trying to trick her?
She has been in the Gu family for so many years, and even enters this room secretly.
But this little bastard in front of me can not only come in openly, but he can also have something to eat!
She was punished by Gu Cangyin and copied books for several days, and she was full of resentment towards Gu Qingling.
And Gu Rujing's different treatment made her even more angry.
Gu Mingzhu stretched out her arms and pushed Gu Qingling to the ground.
She still felt that she was not relieved enough, so she looked around, raised a long wooden bar, and slammed it on the table!
"I will throw it, I will throw it! Why do you care about me!"
Lu Qingling stood up reluctantly, her eyes filled with tears, and she wanted to stop in a panic.
These are all the hard work of Brother Rujing!
But Gu Mingzhu's destructive power was astonishing. Not only did she sweep down everything on the table, she even stepped on it several times.
"Go away, don't destroy the fourth brother's things!"
Gu Qingling was really angry at this moment.
She puffed up her face angrily and threw herself at Gu Mingzhu, knocking her to the ground!
In the past few years in Zhaojiazhuang, Gu Qingling was forced to work all day long, and she was stronger than her peers.
Nowadays, it is easy to suppress a Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingzhu was pushed to the ground, and the back of her head hit the ground violently, with a look of disbelief on her face.
How dare she hit me? How dare she hit me! I am the eldest lady of the Gu family!
"You little bastard, you're so angry with me! I'm going to beat you to death!"
She screamed and rushed towards Gu Mingzhu, swinging the long wooden stick in her hand and hitting Gu Qingling hard.
Gu Qingling crossed her arms in front of her to protect herself, but the expected severe pain did not appear for a long time.
Gu Mingzhu was shocked to find that her whole body was covered by a bubble-like red film with colorful lights flowing on it, blocking all her attacks.
This, what is this!
Gu Mingzhu was stunned. As soon as she cursed "monster", Gu Qingling reacted and was pushed to the ground!
At this time, the door was kicked open.
Gu Rujing and Gu Chenying stood at the door. After seeing the mess inside, their expressions suddenly changed.
Gu Chenying cursed directly: "What the hell are you doing!"
"Whoaaah!"
Gu Mingzhu threw away the stick in her hand and cried loudly.
"Lu Qingling hit me! It hurt me so much! I want to tell my godfather!"
There were tears in Gu Qingling's eyes, her mouth was pursed tightly, and she clenched her fists stubbornly.
"It was the young lady who hit me first!"
"What's wrong?"
A colder voice came.
The expressions of Gu Rujing and Gu Chenying changed one after another, and they reluctantly gave way.
In Gu Qingling's hazy sight, Gu Sheng walked in quickly with a sullen face and held the crying Gu Mingzhu in his arms.
His face was full of pity: "Zhuzhu, stop crying, are you hurt anywhere?"
Gu Mingzhu choked and said: "My head hurts so much. She pushed me and hit me!"
His cold eyes fell on Gu Qingling.
But she still stood stubbornly, with her face raised, holding back tears, and repeated again: "I broke brother Rujing's wooden butterfly first, and then pushed me and scolded me, so I did it!"
