A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 212 Gu Zhan, I'm Scared! (two more)
From behind, came Yu Shi's angry shouts and the sound of smashing things again.

Gu Zhan took Qi Huan by the hand and left without looking back.

The entire Qi family has reached an unprecedented tacit understanding invisibly. Everyone knows that the eldest lady has won the favor of Gu Shizi, who is one of the best in the capital. Recently, everyone has walked around her, including Qi Zhengyu...

No one provokes her.

Mama Gu and the others, even though they usually think they are the old people in the house, always like to listen to the wall or mix things up, but today they are very honest, knowing that Gu Zhan is in the room, before Yu Shi and Qi Huan were talking in the room, they all Consciously hide away.

After sending Qi Huan away politely, listening to the movement in the room, no one wanted to be the punching bag, so no one went in to persuade him right away.

Then--

Qi Zhengyu, who was in the study across the courtyard, was startled.

Guan Yusheng was sent by him to ask the reason, but Mama Gu dared not tell the truth, so she hurriedly perfunctory: "The old lady hasn't been sleeping well lately, maybe... Maybe it's a nightmare, it's okay, I'll go in and talk to her , just to appease you."

As he said that, he still pretended to be serious and scolded the servant girl below: "What are you doing with the stick? Why don't you go to make tea?"

It was impossible to use such a lie to prevaricate Guan Yusheng.

But as soon as Gu Zhan and Qi Huan entered the gate of Fulin Garden, Guan Yusheng already knew about it.

Only now--

In the whole family, he was the last person who didn't want to deal with Qi Huan.

Qi Huan didn't take the initiative to make a fuss about Qi Zhengyu, he was already burning incense, at this time, it is better to have less than to do more, and he will not report to Qi Zhengyu that Qi Huan came to Fulin Garden tonight.

He only stared at Mama Gu and the others warningly: "Master Hou is in a bad mood recently, do you have to keep making trouble with him again?"

Although he is young, the food chain in the Marquis of Changning is like this——

Old Hou Ye Qi Zhengyu can restrain and crush Yu Shi with all his might.

Mama Gu had no choice but to swallow her anger in front of him, and pleaded carefully with her: "You know the old madam's temper, it's just bouts of time, I'll try my best to persuade you, it's really okay if you take more care of Master Hou."

Those who can do things in front of Qi Zhengyu still have some principles and tempers, and it is not easy to win over with small favors.

Mama Gu just said that dryly, rubbing her hands together in embarrassment.

Guan Yusheng gave another cold warning look before turning around and leaving.

Mama Gu didn't care about anything else, and hurried into the house.

Fortunately, Mrs. Yu didn't have much at hand. She dropped a lampshade, a few pillows, and some gadgets from the sewing basket on the kang.

As soon as Mama Gu entered the warm pavilion, she had almost nowhere to put her feet, so she picked up a few pillows and walked in smoothly.

Take a closer look——

The corner of the table is on the side of the kang, because Mrs Yu couldn't grab it, the teacup was still on the table, the saucer underneath was dropped by Mrs Yu, but the teacup was broken into several pieces and piled on the table, the tea soup A large piece of the bedding on the kang was soaked, but it was strange that the bowl cover was still intact on top of a pile of cracked porcelain pieces.

Mama Gu's thoughts went astray for a moment, she was very curious about how the teacup was cracked, so she couldn't help staring at it a few more times.

It wasn't until Yu Shi yelled at her with lingering anger that she quickly regained her composure.

"Where did you die? You just came in now! You're waiting for that dead girl to bring an outsider to stab me with a knife, so you can go have a meal together, right?" Mrs. Yu was still angry, and couldn't catch Qi Huan. When the master came to scold, the anger was naturally directed at the subordinates.

Mama Gu has served her for decades, knowing that she is good or bad, so she directly moved out Qi Zhengyu to restrain her, and said with a terrified expression on her face, "Old madam, you can't provoke that elder son. What's the matter? Usually when he comes to our house, even the old master would walk around him. If he said something outrageous, you would go in one ear and out the other. What do you care about with a younger generation? Isn't it a loss of dignity? And... the maidservant didn't try to be lazy on purpose, there was too much movement on our side, just now Lord Hou sent someone to ask, but luckily the young lady left right after she left, if she ran away again regardless of the seriousness Old Hou Ye came forward to sue..."

There is no need to speak too bluntly, and there is no way to say too bluntly.

As a slave, she can't directly threaten Mrs. Yu and say beware of the old man coming to cut you, right?

Yu Shi immediately looked like a flatulent puffer fish whose cheeks were pinched, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and his momentum weakened in an instant.

Mama Gu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she didn't dare to relax on the surface. She picked up the unbroken things on the ground one by one, and tried her best to persuade her patiently: "It's the eldest lady who didn't agree to you? Her temper, Even if the old Hou Ye is stubborn, she can't hold her down, so we don't feel embarrassed. Anyway, no matter how much the prince refuses to accommodate, Miss Fourth will still stay at the house, right? Take it easy, and when his anger subsides, it must be The one who released our fourth girl is a young girl, and she can't be imprisoned for a lifetime."

Ever since Qi Zhengyu threw a letter of divorce on her face in a fit of rage last time, Yu Shi was really frightened.

She has been living for so many years, if she is really divorced from the house...

That designation is shameless!
Although she has stopped in the past half month, she has never experienced such suffering in her heart, as if her life in Qi's family has never been as difficult as this half month.

She was so choked up in her heart that even now that she was talking back to a junior like Qi Huan, she still had to swallow her anger so as not to offend Qi Zhengyu's eyes.

But no matter how uncomfortable it was, she had to endure it after all.

Gu's mother said another good word, and then she reluctantly persuaded her.

There was no time to clean up the smashed things in this room, so he coaxed her back to the bedroom first, and waited for her to rest.

When she came out of her room, Mama Gu also turned cold and warned the night watchmen in the yard: "Take it as the eldest lady who hasn't been here tonight, and no one is allowed to go out and chew their tongues, and gossip is spread. Come on, all of you pack up and leave for me."

She still has absolute authority in Yu's courtyard, and several people are in a hurry to respond.

On the other side, Gu Zhan led Qi Huan out from Fulin Garden, instead of going to the backyard, he walked directly towards the front yard.

Qi Huan had something on his mind, and after being led for a while by him, he suddenly realized that he was going in the wrong direction.

"Hey!" She called Gu Zhan and stopped immediately.

Gu Zhan also stopped walking and looked back at her.

Today's wedding banquet was again held in the mansion in the big garden. The two of them stood on the corridor leading to the front yard. At this time, the night was quiet and there was no one around.

Qi Huan still had to maintain a slightly raised face angle in order to meet Gu Zhan's gaze.

But at this moment, she pursed her lips hard, with an inexplicably cautious expression.

even--

It also reveals a bit of complicated and difficult to distinguish entanglement.

Gu Zhan had a normal look on his face, waiting for her to speak first.

However, the girl who was always frank and straight, seemed to have something unspeakable at the moment, and her lips hadn't moved for a long time.

A smile appeared on Gu Zhan's face, he took the initiative to take a step back, and opened his arms to wrap her in his arms.

Qi Huan did not hide.

But after all, she hid some thoughts, and when he approached for the first time, she didn't reach out to hug him back, but pinched the hem of the skirt hastily.

Gu Zhan hugged her, and the pine scent on his body slowly spread out in her nostrils.

Gu Zhan's voice came from the top of her head softly but steadily: "Since you feel embarrassed, then don't think about it. It has nothing to do with you in the first place, so just pretend that you don't know."

He really knew what she was struggling with at the moment!
and so--

Since he said those words in Fulinyuan, Gu Zhan has considered everything, including...

her mind and thoughts.

Qi Huan is a person who is not willing to take advantage of others by pretending to be stupid, so she took a half step back.

Gu Zhan didn't restrict her too much. Although she was still in his arms, she could see his face clearly when she raised her head vigorously.

She asked Gu Zhan: "If you pretend you don't know, you can pretend that it has nothing to do with me, so why did you stand up just now? This is originally a housework of our Changning Hou Mansion behind closed doors, and you can also pretend that it has nothing to do with you of."

Her expression was very serious.

Gu Zhan was a little uncertain about her exact thoughts at this moment, although he tried his best to maintain a calm and breezy smile, he was actually a little uneasy.

He put his hands around her back, supporting her at an angle where she was too weak due to her body leaning back too much, and said in a casual tone: "I'm just doing too much, just treat me as being courteous to you by beating around the bush."

The angle at which he was standing was against the light, and Qi Huan couldn't quite see the specific emotion in his eyes.

He spoke to her in a relaxed and cheerful tone.

He said: "Look, you are so smart, you will know what I want to do when I open my mouth, in fact, even if I don't need to do anything...you can't think of such a trick of using strength to exert strength? It's just that you don't bother to use it."

Between the Yu family and Qi Zhengyu, there have been grievances for decades. Gu Zhan is right. If Qi Huan really wanted to plot, he would have already grabbed the "seven inches" and stepped in.

but--

She has never done this!
even--

It's not like she didn't think about it!
Every time these two people relied on their status as elders to do all kinds of despicable things, plot against her, plot against Yang, and even plot against Qi Yuanchen, Qi Huan couldn't help picking up this idea, and went through it fiercely in his mind. again.

Moreover, this matter is not as subtle as what Gu Zhan said, it is not so much a matter of "using strength to fight"...

Or, more precisely, "to kill with a borrowed knife."

Yu Shi is a woman who can't stand on the stage, as long as she stirs up the flames, and by the way, cooperates with Yu Shi to kill the old man, then she can kill two birds with one stone, and kill this beastly couple and all the troubles they caused. !
This is a very beneficial and harmless method!

but--

She just picked it up a thousand times and gritted her teeth to give up.

The steps and reasons that Gu Zhan gave her were extremely considerate, Qi Huan was not unappreciative, so grateful that her eyes felt a little hot in an instant.

But she still stubbornly asked Gu Zhan: "I thought about it, so do you know why I haven't made up my mind to do this?"

Gu Zhan didn't want to discuss this issue with her in depth, but he didn't expect that she wouldn't go down the steps, so she insisted on grabbing him.

There was a faint premonition of uneasiness in his heart, and the center of his eyebrows jumped violently.

He didn't answer.

The serious expression on Qi Huan's face finally loosened a little, and a difficult and bitter smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "It's not that I don't dare, as I said, I'm actually quite courageous; it's not because I was The so-called bondage of blood and family affection makes me reluctant to part with it, because I am not a filial person, a filial son or grandson, I can only be regarded as a villain who holds grudges and is narrow-minded. When a person is pushed into a hurry, he can do anything out of the ordinary. I'm especially like that, but the reason I've been stuck between them... is simply because I don't want to."

Qi Huan is actually the kind of girl who tears very little, and she doesn't like to cry.

It wasn't a big deal at first, but when she thought of the horrible scene at the night banquet at Prince Ning's Mansion two days ago, she suddenly burst into tears uncontrollably.

An afterthought, a belated breakdown, instantly flooded her extremely rational and sober brain.

Gu Zhan is usually used to her wanton and frank appearance, even a little arrogant, but he didn't expect that she would cry like this suddenly, and the tears flooded to the point of being uncontrollable in an instant...

"Qi Huan..." Gu Zhan said hastily, his throat choked up, and he really panicked.

He didn't even think of wiping her tears, he was so helpless and froze there.

The corner of Qi Huan's lips maintained that smile, and his tone was self-deprecating and suppressed: "I don't want to kill people, and I really hate the smell of blood. I'm actually tired of that old guy Qi Zhengyu's endless calculations...or more precisely, I hated him a long time ago! But just when I can't bear it every time, I still don't want to use such means to calculate him. "

Her eyes were dim with tears at the moment, and she continued to raise her head. In fact, the tears covered her and she could no longer see Gu Zhan's face clearly.

Her complaint was almost self-defeating: "I really hate this ghostly place, I hate these people who are surrounded by institutions, but I just don't want to count people's lives, because I am afraid. Since I was a child, no one taught me, and I never I never thought that one day I would have to do such a thing, I am afraid that once I do this, I will give up on myself in the future, or even get worse, and then I may never be the original me again.”

Gu Zhanyi was in an extremely chaotic state of mind, he hadn't figured out how to deal with Qi Huan who suddenly cried and almost collapsed.

Yes, Crash!
Qi Huan's mood at this moment can be described as collapse.

During the period after she crossed, it seemed that she always came as she came, and it could even be said that she accepted and adapted to this brand-new environment and new identity actively, but in a foreign land, as a completely different person How could she be free from panic and uneasiness?She just knows that it's useless to think too much, so she hides all these negative emotions without a trace.

She can quickly overcome and adapt to other things, but she only regards human life as nothing, and everyone can calculate everything including life of others for their own benefit, which makes her not want to integrate no matter what.

She was born in a peaceful age. In the past thirty years, she has never even participated in a fight. Walking a dog without a leash should be regarded as a serious and vicious incident that disturbs public order...

Even though it was only in a book, all the people including Gu Zhan who appeared in front of her now are not paper people who can be torn up at will without feeling, but flesh and blood with feelings, so that she can People who really feel their presence!

She could actually grit her teeth and force herself to adapt, but from the bottom of her heart, she still stubbornly wanted to stick to this bottom line.

Although--

I don't know how long I can last!
She also wants to be her original self, instead of becoming a puppet like Ye Xunyi and the others in the book, who only want to provide readers with a sense of refreshment and a way to relieve stress.

Tonight, if Gu Zhan hadn't punctured the window paper and done for her something that haunted her heart like a curse, something she always wanted to do but was never able to do...

She will always pretend to be nonchalant and continue to hide this deeply suppressed emotion.

She muddled along, until one day she could no longer avoid it, and then she broke out all at once, and became a puppet who kept compromising.

This sudden hypocrisy made Qi Huan burst into tears in an instant.

At this moment, she couldn't care about anything else at all, Gu Zhan was stunned, she threw herself into his arms, hugged her and wept heartily, and wiped her tears and snot all over his body by the way.

　Please forgive my sister Huan's sudden hypocrisy. This is not weakness, but the result of the collision of two different social systems and the environment. Huanhuan is a modern soul, just like all of us ordinary people. It’s extremely rare, and it’s a different place. If someone suddenly comes with a knife and asks us to go out and chop people on the street together, I believe most of us will not be able to do it╭(╯^╰)╮
