Chapter 97 tit for tat
Now that the matter is up to now, the second wife knows that she wants to use bitter tricks to win the sympathy of the old lady so that the old lady can expose this matter, which is absolutely impossible.

She didn't continue to kowtow, but just knelt straight and lowered her head in shame: "But sister Zhu is still young after all, it's because my daughter-in-law didn't teach her well, I beg the old lady to forgive her this time, and my daughter-in-law must discipline her well in the future. Never let her make that mistake again."

"Since you know she's wrong, you should teach her a lesson. It's my idea to lock up the second girl. Do you have to disobey me?"

"Daughter-in-law dare not!"

"So you dare not." Mrs. Ge said with a sneer, "In that case, I'll let you choose. If you feel sorry for your daughter, go to the Little Buddha Hall and take the second girl back."

The second wife was overjoyed, she suddenly raised her head, and met Mrs. Shangge's mocking eyes: "If you take the second girl back, I will not dare to take care of you and your second wife. If you still recognize me as a mother-in-law , I feel that the second girl is wrong, and I should teach her a lesson, so you should go back to the room obediently, and you are not allowed to go to see the second girl, and I will let the past go. It is up to you to decide what to do!"

The second wife did not expect Mrs. Ge to be so unfeeling, and she also understood that she would no longer be able to do whatever she wanted in front of the old lady like before, and she would never even be able to win the old lady's favor.

Although she knew this, at this moment, she had to give up her daughter.There is no other reason, if she chooses to bring Gu Chongzhu back at this moment and disobeys the old lady, their second wife may no longer have a way to survive in Gu's house.

"Old lady, today's incident is due to my daughter-in-law's lax discipline, which caused sister Zhu to do such a wrong thing." The second lady fell deeply on the ground, and her voice was as condensed as a river that had been frozen for three or nine days: "Old lady I'm old, I shouldn't have to worry about such a trivial matter, but now I teach my granddaughter a lesson because I feel sorry for her. My daughter-in-law is ashamed that it's too late. How can you be the kind of ignorant person? You taught me a good lesson. After this incident, I believe Zhu My sister will definitely have a long memory, and I will never dare to do it again."

These words are really beautiful, it can be seen that the second lady's mind is also turning very quickly.

But Mrs. Ge is not as easy to fool as before: "So, don't you blame me, an old lady, for meddling in my own business?"

The second lady's hand tightly pinched her palm, and she forced a smile: "The old lady is joking, you only discipline sister Zhu because you love her, and the daughter-in-law is too late to be happy, so how could she be angry?"

"This is what people say!" Mrs. Ge smiled comfortably: "If I don't care about it, sister Zhu's growth will be crooked, and it will be a disaster for our Gu family in the future. I take care of her like this for her own good. Sister Zhu If you are young and ignorant, you will blame me for being normal, if you sensible adults also blame me, then you will be wolf-hearted."

The second lady was trembling with anger, but she still apologized and said with a smile: "No, sister Zhu is also grateful to the old lady."

"Okay, get up." Mrs. Ge said, "It's really cold on the ground, it's freezing."

"The old lady still loves me." The second lady smiled, got up and said, "It's getting late too, old lady, I'll help you to sleep."

"That's all, you all go back." Mrs. Ge also acted as if nothing had happened, "It's fine if Madam Su takes care of me."

Only then did the two sisters-in-law take their leave and left An Rong Yuan hand in hand.

At the intersection, the second lady didn't hide her disgust, she turned around and left without saying a word.

Today she suffered such a big loss and lost such a big face. In front of the eldest lady, she can no longer be the same as before.

The face has been torn, there is no need to pretend again!

Seeing the way the second lady walked with pain because she knelt for too long, the eldest lady felt satisfied, and finally let out the anger of so many years.

She smiled and said to Gu Yu, "Looking at the big moon, tomorrow will be a sunny day."

Gu Yu responded: "Yes. The moon is so big, I don't even need this lamp."

The master and servant smiled at each other and walked towards the house.

The second lady stopped when she walked under the shade of a wall not far away.

It's not that she's not smart or scheming, it's just that Mrs. Ge used to forget the cruelty of the inner house.

She used to only know that Mrs. Ge was her aunt, who loved her, doted on her, and relied on her in everything.Today she realized clearly that after marrying the Second Master, Mrs. Ge was no longer her aunt, but her mother-in-law, who would defend her, beat her, scold her, and even harm her.

The second lady looked at the direction in which the eldest lady left, with unconcealable hatred and poison in her eyes.

The next day was the day when the members of the Ge family returned gifts.

The Gu family was very lively, and the members of the Ge family came early.

The fourth master also asked for leave and did not go to Guanglu Temple to take up his post.

Gu Chongyang practiced calligraphy in the Begonia Courtyard, he didn't hear anything outside the window, and didn't care about who came to the Ge family.

"Miss, Qingbo is here." Dan Xin said, "Do you want to let him in? Or wait until you finish writing this piece?"

"Let him in."

Dan Xin led Qingbo in.

Gu Chongyang didn't raise his head, he just lowered his head and practiced calligraphy: "Today, people from the Ge family are sending gifts back. If you're not serving the fourth master, what are you doing here?"

She was still young, but she already had a bit of bearing when she spoke. Qingbo put away his contemptuous thoughts, and hurriedly lowered his hands and said: "It's the new lady who came from her natal family. The fourth master asked the young lady to go and meet people."

"What a joke!" Gu Chongyang snorted coldly: "You asked me to meet the guests, why wasn't it the woman in the inner house, but a servant from the outer courtyard to summon me? Why didn't I know when our Gu family changed the rules?"

Qingbo was young, only sixteen or seventeen years old. After hearing Gu Chongyang's rhetorical question, he was shocked: "Yes, the fourth master asked the younger one to come."

"The fourth master doesn't know the rules of the inner house, don't you know it too?"

"Yes, it's the villain's fault, it's the villain's fault."

While Qingbo apologized, he secretly scolded Bibo in his heart, no wonder he didn't want to come and asked himself to come, it turned out that Miss Si was so difficult to deal with.

Seeing Qingbo bowing his head, speechless and nervous, Gu Chongyang didn't want to ask him any questions.

It's just a boy who spread the word, so it's really meaningless to embarrass him.

"The fourth master made a small decision yesterday, and it is a great joy for people from the Ge family to return today."

She said the word "great joy" in a heavy voice, and everyone in the room could hear the sound of her gnashing of teeth.

"I am a filial piety for my mother, and I still wear white on my body. It is not appropriate to appear on such an occasion. It doesn't matter if I go, but if it collides, it will be bad." Gu Chongyang said: "For the sake of the fourth master, I still don't go Bar."

How could Qingbo dare to refute, he nodded and said yes: "Yes, yes."

Seeing that he was standing still, Gu Chongyang said: "Don't stand still, go and report to the fourth master."

Qingbo ran away as soon as he received an amnesty.

After half a cup of tea, Dan Xin hurriedly said again: "The fourth master is here, looking at his face, he seems very unhappy."

"It's okay." Gu Chongyang looked unmoved, she put away the pen, pointed to the copybook and said, "Put the things away."

The fourth master has already walked in.

"Chongyang, what's the matter with you?" The fourth master asked directly without saying a word after entering the door: "Qingbo said you don't want to go?"

"Yes." Gu Chongyang stood there in good order, and said with his hands down, "You haven't heard, and Qingbo is right, I don't want to go."

She didn't look up because she didn't want to see this person, and because she couldn't hide the anger and unwillingness in her eyes.

She stood there obediently, quietly, the fourth master's anger was not easy to vent.

"Why don't you want to go? Do you have anything to do today?"

"Yes." Gu Chongyang nodded and said, "I want to copy the "Rebirth Sutra" and offer it to the Buddha to pray for my mother."

The fourth master couldn't help but paused, he lowered his voice, as if suppressing the anger in his heart: "Copying the "Rebirth Sutra" is very important, but it won't be finished in a while, you and I will meet the Ge family, wait I have seen it, you will come back immediately, and it will not delay your copying of the scriptures."

"Why do you want me to go?" Gu Chongyang suddenly raised his head and looked at the fourth master: "Do you think that the members of the Ge family are more important, and it is more important to save Ge Bilian, but my mood is not important, to mother Is it not important to copy scriptures?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The fourth master pulled his face and taught her: "Miss Ge is your elder, and she is your stepmother when she enters the door. How can you call her by first name and last name? It's really rude! Are you How did you learn the rules?"

"Fourth Master!" Gu Chongyang interrupted him, and raised his voice: "Aren't you going to reprimand me for being bad manners? Are you going to say that my mother didn't teach me well? I behaved well when my mother was alive, but now My bad manners are due to your father's negligence in discipline. Please don't blame my mother. She is dead, and the dead are the most important. You can let her go to the ground, okay? ?”

"You!" The fourth master was so angry that his eyelids trembled, and he stared at Gu Chongyang.

Gu Chongyang looked at him without fear.

For the sake of Ge Bilian's face, he came to invite himself, it's really disgusting!

This man has completely forgotten the love between him and his mother!Just like in the previous life, the stepmother took over the power of the housekeeper as soon as she entered the door. She, a dignified lady, was pinched in the palm of his hand and allowed to be rounded and flattened by Ge Bilian.She never wanted to live like the days in her previous life.

Anyway, no matter what he does, he won't take pity on himself, so she should live a little more freely, and she can't be a well-behaved daughter.

"Good, good, good!" The eyes of the father and daughter met, and it ended with the defeat of the fourth master.

"You are really my good daughter! Mrs. Chen really raised a good daughter for me!"

He dropped this sentence angrily, and walked away.

The fourth master left angrily.In Lvxia Courtyard, the second wife also stared angrily at the weak girl kneeling below: "...You lowly seed, what are you, I provide you with delicious food and drink, and you actually conspired with outsiders to murder Pearl?" Sister, I am really blind, I will keep you as a scourge until now, I should have killed you in the first place."

"Mother..." The skinny Gu Chongzhi knelt down on the ground, as fragile as a rain-beaten pear blossom: "I really don't know about the second sister. I really don't know. Please believe me, I don't know either." The eldest sister and the fourth younger sister will..."

"Don't call me mother! That dead whore is your mother." The second lady cursed viciously, seeing Gu Chongzhi's weak and pitiful appearance, aroused her anger again, and kicked Gu Chongzhi heavily. .

Gu Chongzhi didn't dare to hide, because she knew that if she hid, she would anger her aunt, and what awaited her was a crueler punishment.She knelt upright and received the kick abruptly.

The second lady was angry last night, and felt sorry for Gu Chongzhu's suffering in the small Buddhist hall. She didn't close her eyes almost all night, and all the anger in her heart was gathered on this foot, and the kick that used all her strength kicked Gu Chongzhi's heart heavily.

Gu Chongzhi only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and stars shot out in his eyes, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

My heart really hurts!

She couldn't help shivering as she clutched her wound in pain.

The second lady felt relieved for a while, and cursed again: "Don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, you bastard, show yourself to someone who looks like a monster, get up and kneel."

"Yes..." Gu Chongzhi could only feel stabbing pains from the wound, so painful that she didn't even have the strength to speak. She tried to crawl for a long time, but she couldn't get up.

The second lady looked unhappy, grabbed Gu Chongzhi's hair, and dragged her up fiercely.

The pain in the heart has not been relieved, and the pain in the head came again. Gu Chongzhi felt that her whole body was in pain, but she was a stubborn person, and she would never let herself cry in front of her aunt, but just begged: "Mother, please forgive me!" Come on, I'll get up, I'll get up now..."

She spoke in a hurry, and couldn't help coughing, suddenly felt the blood rushing up from her heart, and there was a fishy sweetness in her throat, and she spit out a big mouthful of blood with a "wow".

The scarlet blood spilled on the ground, the second lady was startled at first, and then a flash of joy flashed in her heart.

If this little whore died because of this, it would be a great joy.

She breathed out this bad breath, felt relieved, and sat back on the chair, ready to take a sip of hot tea and rest for a while before torturing this dirty seed.

Sun Nanny's raised voice suddenly came from the door: "Second Master, you are back."

The second lady was startled, she glanced at Gu Chongzhi who was lying on the ground half dead, and panicked.

However, the panic returned to calm when the second master lifted the curtain and came in.

"What's the matter?" He didn't go home for a few days, and when he came back, he saw the concubine kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, and the wife was crying while clutching her handkerchief.

The second master couldn't help frowning: "It's so unlucky to be born in the new year."

"Master!" The second lady stood up as if she had just seen her husband, and threw herself into the arms of the second master regardless of anyone present: "You can be regarded as coming back. If you don't come back, our mothers will be killed." People are put to death."

"What's going on?" The second master looked at the second lady carefully.

"The old lady didn't know what was going on, so she took me suddenly and asked me if I knew about your embezzlement of public money outside... I was so frightened that I lost my soul and five souls." The second lady said, crying again up.

This sentence really scared the second master: "Madam, is what you said true?"

He firmly grasped the second lady's arm, and stared at her tremblingly.

"Yes, how dare I lie to you about such a big matter." The second lady said again: "Who knew that the third girl joined with the eldest girl and the fourth girl to sue Miss Zhu in front of the old lady. I couldn’t get a word out of my mouth, so I used Sister Zhu as a raft and locked her in the small Buddhist hall. It’s been a whole night, and my heart feels like it’s roasting on fire.”

"Okay! I actually raised such a foodie." The second master was almost furious when he heard it, and he walked up to Gu Chongzhi without asking any questions, and kicked her on the back.

Gu Chongzhi snorted and was kicked down again.

"Master, master, don't be angry. The child is disobedient. It's because I, the aunt, didn't teach her well. I'll just teach her slowly. Don't get angry." The second lady stepped forward and stopped the second master. , even coaxing and persuading: "Now our family is counting on the master. If you get angry, how can our mothers live? If you want to hit me, just hit me, don't be angry."

"Hey!" The second master was too angry just now, but now that he came back to his senses, he realized that he kicked too hard. It's not like you don't know how she died. If you don't teach her well, if she is born into that kind of person, wouldn't it be that our Gu family will lose face for several lifetimes. "

Gu Chongzhi was only 12 years old, he was beaten so badly just now, and suffered such serious injuries, he couldn't hold back his tears.Later, he was misunderstood by his father, beaten, and kept silent.

But at this moment, this forbearing girl couldn't help crying because of the words of the second master.She was not crying for herself, but for her dead mother.

The second master was upset for a while, and cursed: "Cry! Why are you crying? I was mourning here early in the morning. The reason why I have been so unlucky recently is because you cried."

When Gu Chongzhi heard this, his heart hurt even more, not only did it not stop, but the crying became louder than before.

Seeing the second lady, she felt happy, but she pretended to be distressed and helpless: "Third girl, your father used to be reluctant to touch a finger of yours, but today he kicked you because he was very angry. Don't bear any grudges against him. Just go back, and I will persuade your father well. "

Seeing that Gu Chongzhi was lying on the ground but had no strength to think about it, she sneered and said loudly: "Hongling, Xueli, hurry up and help your young lady go back."

Hongling Xueli had been guarding under the verandah in fear, and now she heard the call as if she had been pardoned, and hurried in without daring to look around. Seeing Gu Chongzhi lying on the ground, she couldn't even get up. Tears welled up all at once.

They tried their best not to cry out loud, they just set up Gu Chongzhi from left to right and left.

After leaving the gate of Lvxia Courtyard, Hong Ling cried: "Miss, how are you? Where is your pain?"

Gu Chongzhi reluctantly said: "Don't... talk, I'm fine, help me... go back."

Xueli also burst into tears with distress: "Miss in the capital, only our lady has the hardest life. Who is a lady? It is worse than the life of a servant. You can't escape being beaten twice in three days. Being scolded and starved is even worse. It's a daily meal, and there is endless embroidery work. Miss, you are living a life like a human!"

When Gu Chongzhi heard this, tears flowed down his face.360 days a year, the wind, the sword, the frost and the sword are pressing against each other.She was so miserable, she didn't want to live at all.

The two maidservants helped Gu Chongzhi back to the Clove Courtyard, and after being settled, Hong Ling went to invite Gu Chongyang.

Now that the whole Gu family sincerely treats their young lady well, only fourth young lady Gu Chongyang is the only one.

After hearing Hong Ling crying, Gu Chongyang followed her to Lilac Courtyard on the spot.

When he saw Gu Chongzhi, Gu Chongyang couldn't help but turn pale with shock: "Third sister, you..."

Gu Chongzhi's cheeks were swollen on both sides, his face that was originally peach blossom was extremely red and swollen, and there were also faint scratches.Her lips were pale, her eyes were dull, and her forehead was faintly blue, as if she was enduring pain.

She must have been hurt.

In the past, Gu Chongyang only felt that her life was difficult, but now she realized that Gu Chongzhi's life was probably ten times more painful than hers.

She thought that she shamed Gu Chongzhu and punished Gu Chongzhu because she helped Gu Chongzhi vent her anger, but she didn't know that she was not helping her, but hurting her.

A deep self-blame surged in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help getting wet: "Third sister, you have suffered, it's all my fault, I hurt you."

After resting for a while, Gu Chongzhi's spirit was much better than when he just came back: "Fourth sister, don't be sad. I used to be beaten often, as hard as today, two or three times a year, it's not your fault. I got used to."

I'm used to it.

These few short words made Gu Chongyang's heart ache.

"Don't talk." Gu Chongyang grabbed her hand and felt her pulse, his heart sank: "Third Sister, your heart vein is injured, and there is congestion. But don't worry, I will help you heal it. You If you are young, take good care of it, and you will be able to take care of it in the future.”

Gu Chongzhi nodded docilely: "I'm sorry for my fourth sister."

However, Gu Chongyang suddenly felt that she seemed to be more sorrowful than heartbroken.

Gu Chongyang felt something in his heart, and shook Gu Chongzhi's hand to comfort him: "Third sister, don't be discouraged, you will be 13 years old after the new year. After another year or two, you can get married."

Gu Chongyang didn't say the rest, I believe Gu Chongzhi can understand, after getting married, he can escape from this devil's den.

"Really?" Gu Chongzhi didn't feel relieved, but sighed, and asked in confusion: "Can this life be changed after getting married?"

Gu Chongyang didn't know either.

In her previous life, she thought that by marrying He Runnian, she would be able to spend the full moon and be happy and worry-free, but she never expected...

Come on!Think about what those do.

"Of course." Gu Chongyang said with a smile: "You are so beautiful, if I were a man, I would definitely hold you in my palm after marrying you. Good sister, trust me."

Gu Chongzhi was encouraged by the joy in her tone, and there was a bit of longing on her face: "It will be great if there is such a day."

The two sisters fantasized about the blueprint of getting married and leaving the Gu family. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the news that there will be a talent show in the spring of next year suddenly comes.All ladies over the age of 13 and under the age of 17 must participate in the election. This news caused panic among all the families in the capital who had daughters of the right age.
