beauty heart thorn

Chapter 49
The carriage stopped.

"It seems that I did something wrong, we are not like-minded."

Gu Mingzhu opened the curtain and got out of the car without looking back, "Send Xu Shizi home."

"Yes."

Xu Jue opened the curtains to look at her, but only got an indifferent back.

Xu Jue leaned back tiredly, dazed by alcohol, angry for no reason.

She has such deep hostility towards Yun Zhao, could it be that she has a heart that is hard to let go?

With a sullen face, he sorted out everything carefully, rubbed the space between his brows, and relaxed his body.

When Gu Mingzhu returned to the garden, Chun'er had already arrived and was preparing bath water for her. The room was brightly lit, and through the window, Yue Yan could vaguely see writing.

She suppressed her irritability and got into the bathtub. After a while, Lian Chun'er couldn't help calling out: "Miss?"

Gu Mingzhu emerged from the bottom of the water with her wet hair on her back, and leaned aside.

Chun'er wiped off the water on her face with a dry towel, and said carefully: "Miss, what happened?"

Gu Mingzhu couldn't see any joy or anger, and said, "Go and invite Mr. Qiu."

"Yes."

Chuner went out.

Gu Mingzhu was soaking in the water, but she couldn't help thinking about tonight.

Those conflicts that were temporarily suppressed by her were placed in front of her again.

What should I do if the person blocking her is Xu Jue?
From the standpoint of the Xu family, he was not wrong. The Xu family has been stationed in the northwest for many years. In the last life, Xu Jue never had a rebellious heart until his death. Such a family has engraved loyalty into his bones.

She can't change it.

Gu Mingzhu found helplessly that she and Xu Jue were not the same people at all.

She is perverted, rebellious, and fears that the world will not be chaotic, and Xu Jue is the son of King Dingbei. After Xu Wei's death, he will be the lord of Kyushu. How can his future be related to rebellion?
In fact, what he likes is the current self?

This man whose hands are already stained with blood.

wrong.

All wrong!
Gu Mingzhu closed her eyes and sighed secretly.

She washed and put on her clothes casually, and Qiu Qingzhai was already waiting.

He lived in Gu's mansion for more than ten days. Gu Mingzhu didn't chase people away, and he didn't mention leaving. Gu's mansion provided delicious food and drinks, and he would teach the servants in the mansion to study books when he was free.

Chun'er has also followed behind these few days, calling Mr. Qiu one by one.

"Mr. Qiu, drink tea." Chun'er brought a cup of tea to the booth.

Qiu Qingzhai smiled warmly: "Thank you, Chuner."

He looked at the person coming behind him, stood up and said, "Miss."

Gu Mingzhu sat down opposite him: "Are you still used to living here, sir?"

Qiu Qingzhai said with a smile, "Anywhere in the world can be home."

Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly: "In the past few days, I have read all the Miscellaneous Notes on Fengtu, only to find out that Mr. was born in a well-known scholarly family, but his family was in decline. Mr. changed his appearance and became a teacher in Fu County."

Qiu Qingzhai was not surprised that she would find out her background, and said with a calm expression, "The past is over, so why mention it again."

"At that time, the Qiu family was a well-known scholarly family in Jiangbei. The eldest son, Qiu Heng, was able to write essays at the age of five and export poems at the age of seven. He was a well-known talent in Jiangbei. It’s a pity to talk about it now.”

Qiu Qingzhai suppressed his smile, took a sip from his teacup, and said, "I dare not take it."

He admitted that he was Qiu Heng.

Gu Mingzhu was thoughtful.

Qiu Qingzhai said: "Qiu will leave tomorrow."

Gu Mingzhu said: "I didn't mean that, I was just surprised that Mr. is so talented, why..."

"Why not take revenge?" Qiu Qingzhai said.

He pondered slightly, and replied: "My master once taught me that there is no way for good or bad, and I am called by others."

"The Qiu family's disaster is due to pride. This is the Qiu family's disaster. I can't let others suffer because of myself."

Gu Mingzhu said: "But there is more behind this sentence, the retribution of good and evil follows like a shadow."

Qiu Qingzhai looked at Gu Mingzhu with a smile: "So you see, his retribution has come."

"But in the past 20 years, the surroundings are turbulent, his suspicions are getting deeper and deeper, the throne is on the verge of falling, and the world is precarious."

Qiu Qingzhai's tone was calm, he always maintained the humility of a scholar, and he was steady and self-contained: "I complain about injustice, and I only treat people with a heart."

Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly: "Sir."

Qiu Qingzhai laughed back and said, "Then I'll call you, girl."

"In the future, sir, please teach me more."

The two in the pavilion are like friends at first sight.

Chun'er scratched her head in puzzlement, when she ran into Yueyan who was going out.

She pointed to the people in the pavilion, and said, "Sister Yueyan, Miss suddenly likes Mr. Qiu very much."

Yueyan looked into the pavilion, the two of them didn't know what to say, Qiu Qingzhai was sitting upright, Gu Mingzhu listened with his ears down, asking a few questions from time to time, and nodded knowingly after getting the answer.

Yueyan smiled: "Mr. Qiu has seen people before, and it's not something ordinary people can talk to."

Chun'er pursed her lips, and said in disbelief, "Who said that, we also have a good chat with my husband on weekdays."

"Sir, it's because of your young age that he treats you like a child."

"Hmph, I'm several months older than Miss!"

Yueyan patted her head, as if treating a little sister, and said gently: "You have been serving by Miss's side since you were a child, carefree, although Miss is younger than you, she is extremely intelligent, how can you use your age to judge her?" measure."

Her expression was gentle, but there was a trace of loneliness that could not be concealed. Chun'er observed her words and looked carefully, and said cautiously: "Sister Yueyan, what's wrong with you?"

Yue Yan said: "It's nothing, I think of some past events, and I feel a little sad."

Chun'er probably also knew about Yueyan's life experience, she was silent for a moment, and said: "Sister Yueyan, the Gu family will be your home in the future, Miss treats people very well, although sometimes she loses her temper for no reason, but she has never punished us .”

Yue Yan smiled: "Yes, yes, Miss is the best."

The conversation between the two in the pavilion was over, Gu Mingzhu came out of the pavilion, saw the two standing in front of the corridor door, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing at the door?"

Chun'er stuck out her tongue: "I'm going to clean it up." The words faded away.

Gu Mingzhu asked strangely: "What happened to Chun'er?"

Yueyan smiled and said, "I'm afraid the water on the stove is boiling."

The two walked into the house.

Seeing the neat accounts on the desk, Gu Mingzhu asked, "Is everything all right?"

Yue Yan said: "It's all sorted out."

Gu Mingzhu flipped through it casually, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "I almost forgot."

She took out a piece of paper from the desk drawer, handed it to Yue Yan, and said, "A few days ago, I ordered someone to register it from the household department. This is your document for leaving the country. You will be free in the future."

Yueyan was obviously taken aback, and reached out to take it, and it turned out to be a document that had not been registered.

Wu Yue once helped her inquire about the matter of leaving the country, and also asked Song Zhizhou, and the Ministry of Household Affairs needs to issue a document.

After seven years of slavery, he suddenly became free tonight.

Yueyan was silent for a long time, looked at Gu Mingzhu solemnly, and said, "Yueyan...thank you miss."

Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly: "Between you and me, saying thank you seems to be born."

She sat next to the bronze mirror, rubbed the balm, and said: "Prince Rui will definitely not escape punishment for the matter of Qing County and Dangzhou. Li Sui has already determined that he killed Ion Yu, and now he will not easily let someone who can hit him Chances are, if he kills Li Xu, then this Jiangling will really change."

Yueyan pondered for a moment, then said: "If he throws a trick at the mouse, we will help him."

Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly, met Yueyan's gaze from the bronze mirror, and said in a positive tone: "That's a good idea."
