beauty heart thorn

Chapter 70
Early the next morning, upon hearing the news of Gu Mingzhu's return home, Shen Yuying came to the door early, notifying everyone that she would not be there, and opened the door openly and entered.

"Pearl!" Shen Yuying held up the food box: "Can't you afford it? I brought you your favorite tofu flower, from the Wang Po's house on West Street."

Gu Mingzhu poked her head out, saw her standing crisply, and said, "It's rare to see you so early."

Shen Yuying brought out the bean curd flower and said, "What are you talking about, I heard that you are back, so my mother allowed me to come out to play."

Gu Mingzhu lifted the quilt and said, "Auntie is taking care of you again?"

"Say I'm too naughty, not like a daughter, and ask me to study and learn calligraphy to learn from female celebrities."

Shen Yuying hadn't seen her for a long time, she stared at her dressing for a while, and said, "Mingzhu, I've heard about you and Yun Zhao."

Gu Mingzhu didn't respond to the name, picked up her clothes, and dressed slowly.

"He really doesn't deserve you for doing such a thing." Shen Yuying took one of the bowls.

A servant came in with warm water to wash up. She combed her hair, sat opposite Shen Yuying, and said, "I haven't eaten this tofu flower for a long time, it smells so good."

Shen Yuying smiled and said: "I don't care, I bought three bowls."

The two talked and laughed, Shen Yuying suddenly reached out her hand, with a suspicious expression on her face, stroked the side of Gu Mingzhu's neck, and said, "Mingzhu, what's wrong with your neck?"

Gu Mingzhu didn't know why, so she reached out and touched it: "What's wrong?"

"Why is it so red, do you still have mosquitoes at night?"

Gu Mingzhu walked to the bronze mirror, and the person inside had a ruddy complexion. She bent down and looked at her neck carefully.

Shen Yuying saw her carefully taking pictures, she couldn't help laughing and said: "How come you can't look down on a few red marks."

Gu Mingzhu sat by the mirror, was silent for a while, and said, "This mosquito is quite fierce."

Shen Yuying said: "Apply some plaster, and it will disappear overnight."

Gu Mingzhu pulled up her collar to cover the red spots, and said, "Wipe it off later."

With such a movement, a little red string leaked from her neck.

Shen Yuying knew her best, she snorted, stopped eating, and approached her and said, "It's the first time I see you wearing something, why is it a red string?"

As she spoke, she started to pull the rope lightly, and pulled out a piece of jade pendant.

"It's strange, it turned out to be a jade pendant, and it's tied in a knot."

Gu Mingzhu let her touch it, and said: "What's so strange, jade supports people, and I wear a jade pendant normally."

Shen Yuying looked like you were missing: "Don't lie to me, I'm not Wu Yue. You haven't worn this thing since you were a child, and said it's uncomfortable to hang it around your neck."

Gu Mingzhu said, "It's changed."

Shen Yuying was not obsessed with this topic, and said, "How long are you going to stay when you come back this time? Are you going to leave?"

"Ten days and a half a month."

She leaned aside and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to play with you."

"What?" Gu Mingzhu stuffed the jade pendant back into her robe: "Auntie is so strict with you now?"

Shen Yuying said: "A few days ago, my family made a marriage for me, and I will get married after the new year. My mother wants me to study hard in the boudoir and restrain my temper."

Gu Mingzhu was silent and said, "Don't wait for Wu Yue?"

Shen Yuying said: "The nonsense of my daughter's family is beyond count."

Gu Mingzhu sighed and said, "Well, which young master are you talking about?"

"The second son of the Liu family in Qinghe County, Liu Zige."

Gu Mingzhu's pupils shrank slightly: "The Liu family in Qinghe County?"

Shen Yuying said: "Yes, I heard that the second son of the Liu family has outstanding literary talents and good conduct. This marriage can be talked about, and many people are jealous."

There was not much joy in her tone, talking about Luzig was like a daily chat.

Gu Mingzhu didn't care to listen any more.

Liuzig, Liuzig!
Liu Zige wants to marry Shen Yuying as his wife?

This Second Young Master Liu of Qinghe County is well-known in the Jiangnan area.

The Liu family is talented, not only talented, but also rich.

The ancestors of the Liu family used to be the Prince Shao Fu, and when the emperor ascended the throne, the ancestors retreated to the south to spend their days. In the later years, although no one in the Liu family re-entered the official career, the status of the Liu family was no lower than that of the official family.

From this unusual situation, Gu Mingzhu smelled a conspiracy.

She thought about it and asked: "Gusu and Qinghe County are far away, how did this marriage come about?"

"Mingzhu, you forgot, my little uncle is the teacher in Qinghe County, and he is the one who led the matchmaker."

Gu Mingzhu finally found out the name of Shen Yuying's little uncle in her distant memory.

Cao Zhiming.

Sending Shen Yuying away, Gu Mingzhu stood at the door for a while, and then ordered: "Prepare the car, I want to go out."

The carriage stopped in front of a house in the west of the city not long after.

She stepped forward to knock on the door, and soon someone came to open the door. When she saw her, she was overjoyed: "Miss is here."

"Aunt Yu."

Liu Yu, wearing an apron, was obviously cooking. He greeted the person through the door, and shouted to the back room: "Old man, Miss is here, don't read your old book again, come out quickly."

The windows and doors were wide open, and the people at the table put down their books to read.

Gu Mingzhu smiled and said, "Aunt Yu, I will come by myself."

Liu Yu watched with a smile as he welcomed people in, then hurried into the kitchen to add food.

Liu Yue stepped out of the house.

Gu Mingzhu saluted respectfully: "Master."

Liu Yue smiled and said, "When did you come back?"

The two sat down in the bamboo pavilion in the courtyard.

"It's been a few days."

"Is everything safe in Jiangling?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "It's okay."

Liu Yue felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Today is just right, your Aunt Yu is cooking sweet and sour fish, you always like these sweet and sour fish."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Then I'm lucky."

She paused, her tone hesitant: "Master, there is one more thing."

Liu Yue said, "What's the matter?"

Gu Mingzhu tugged at the collar and said, "Master, this red dot..."

Liu Yue's complexion changed slightly, and she moved closer to touch it with her fingers.

Gu Mingzhu said: "It should have come out last night."

Liu Yue's tone was solemn: "Girl, you tried all kinds of heresy ways in order to achieve quick success, but now your body has suffered backlash."

Gu Mingzhu looked calmly and said: "Master, you are proficient in medical skills. I want to ask, will I die if I am like this?"

Liu Yue glared at her: "What nonsense! Although this heresy is evil, there is still a cure."

Gu Mingzhu's eyes brightened slightly: "Is there a cure?"

"Of course." Liu Yue said: "You have only taken the medicine for half a year, and the medicine has shallow properties. As long as you stop the medicine and take good care of it, you will be cured within three years."

Gu Mingzhu said: "I stopped the medicine, can I still be like this moment?"

Liu Yue shook her head: "Of course it can't."

Gu Mingzhu slowly faded her smile, thought deeply, and said, "If that's the case, the medicine can't be stopped."

Liu Yue looked at her, sighed, and said, "Girl, everyone has a choice, and the master can't say anything, but I hope you are well, even if you regret it later, I'm afraid it's too late."

Gu Mingzhu said: "Master, don't worry, I have my own measure."

Liu Yue's persuasion was fruitless, and she said: "I'll give you a prescription, boil three bowls of water into one bowl, drink it once every two days, it can alleviate the backlash, but I want to remind you that in the future, your body will be weak and you will be tired. It's the norm."

Gu Mingzhu smiled faintly, and lowered her eyes: "Master, please worry about it."

There is no such thing as a genius in the sky, she had sought countless avenues in order to achieve quick success, and the blood debt owed by Yun Zhao and Li Ruyue had already taken root in her heart.

Do whatever it takes.

If death is inevitable in the end, then everyone should die together.

On Huangquan Road, you can also reminisce about the past.
