Dirty color

Chapter 182
The sun is scorching hot in July, even if you walk in the verandah, you can still feel the scorching temperature of the sun, baking your body.

When Gu Mingxuan returned to Tsinghua Garden, she was sweating all over. After bathing and changing into homely clothes, Gu Mingxuan began to look at the account books—it is the middle of the year, and there are always some accounts that need to be counted and settled. After sending the account book, Gu Mingxuan didn't check it much because she was worried. Even today, she was a little restless, and she managed to read two lines before she couldn't read it anymore.

Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but smile wryly. It seems that before there was any news from Feng Qingli, she might not be able to do anything.

The next morning, everything was as usual, but in the afternoon, Gu Yuwen came. She went to greet Cui Shi, and she said softly: "I haven't seen grandma these days, and I miss her very much. When my husband came back yesterday, he brought back a small basket of cantaloupe He was lucky enough to be rewarded by His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, although this melon and fruit is not a rare thing, but it is also my filial piety, grandma should not dislike it."

It is indeed rare to enter the cantaloupe, but when the daughter-in-law of Princess Huaqing was alive, Cui could often receive the filial piety of Princess Huaqing. Although there was a break of four or five years in the middle, since Gu Mingxuan and Gu Minghe were given After marriage, this kind of filial piety continued again and again, so Cui Shi looked down on Gu Yuwen's showing off.

Therefore, Gu Yuwen was a little embarrassed when she smiled and said nothing. Gu Mingxuan glanced at it lightly, and found that Chen Xiang and another maid she didn't know were with Gu Yuwen. She was slightly surprised. Where is Banxia?
Looking at Chen Xiang's red eyes, Gu Mingxuan became a little interested.

After returning from Rong'an Hall, Gu Mingxuan asked Xiaofeng to go and see what was going on. Xiaofeng brought Gu Mingxuan a piece of news that surprised Gu Mingxuan——Qi Feiming was entertaining guests in the outer courtyard, and Banxia ordered people to serve wine. In the inner courtyard, he was insulted by a drunken servant of the Qi mansion and lost his innocence, so he hanged himself. Fortunately, others found out early, so Ban Xia did not die, but now he looks as if he is dead.

Of course, Xiaofeng found something strange here, but it took time to verify some things.

On the third day, Xiaofeng told Gu Mingxuan the truth of the incident - Gu Yuwen had planned this incident. As for the reason, Xiaofeng really couldn't find out.

Gu Mingxuan curled the corner of her mouth, the reason is not important, the important thing is that Gu Yuwen cut off her own arm, but anyway, Qi Feiming and Gu Yuwen will definitely not let them have a better life, so, is there such a person as Banxia? , it doesn't matter.

Just when Gu Mingxuan felt that this matter was over, Chen Xiang actually took the opportunity of giving Gu Yuwen something to the mansion, and asked someone to hand Gu Mingxuan a note, saying that as long as Gu Mingxuan can save Banxia, ​​she will tell Gu Mingxuan has a secret, that secret is very important to Gu Mingxuan.

After reading it, Gu Mingxuan was indeed very interested in the so-called secret, but she didn't like others threatening her with such a tone, so Gu Mingxuan asked Xiaofeng to give Chen Xiang a message - she must know the secret first, as for Banxia, As long as the secret is valuable, she will save it naturally, even if the secret is worthless, she will act as she sees fit.

Chen Xiang agreed.

She couldn't help but not agree, Gu Yuwen used the reason that the strong girl didn't serve her second husband as an excuse, and wanted to betroth Banxia to the servant of the Qi family who insulted her. Ruthlessly, what she was looking for was Qi Feiming's driver - a widower in his 40s.

The coachman is also the face of the whole family. The coachman is good-looking, and he has no problem with speaking and answering. However, he is very rough in intercourse. It is said that his original wife was tortured to death by him. Willing to marry him.

And Banxia, ​​although she is with Gu Yuwen, in Shun'an Hou's mansion, she, the big maid, can't be as respectable as Gu Mingxuan and Gu Minghe's big maid, but she is also raised and raised, and she is like a flower bone. Having suffered from the old widower's brutality, Ban Xia would rather die again than marry the coachman.

But Gu Yuwen has a lot of reasons to educate Pinellia, in short, since a woman who loves herself has already had something with other men, can she still marry another man?This is wrong, it is a woman who is going to be soaked in a pig cage, and it will also shame the owner's family, so you can only dispel rumors by marrying someone who has a relationship with her, and so on.

Although Chen Xiang can't conduct investigations to find out the truth like Xiaofeng, she has an advantage that Xiaofeng can't match, that is, she knows Gu Yuwen too well.

Just because of understanding, although Chen Xiang has no evidence, he can still come to the conclusion after investigating with Xiaofeng--Miss killed Pinellia.

One is the lady whom she faithfully followed and served, and the other is Ban Xia who grew up with her since she was a child. She is not a real sister but better than a real sister. Chen Xiang felt extremely sad.

Especially, when she roughly figured out why the young lady wanted Pinellia, Chen Xiang's heart became even colder—it turned out that no matter how loyal they are to the young lady, in the young lady's view, they can be abandoned at any time.

The reason why Chen Xiang made up his mind to contact Gu Mingxuan was not only Ban Xia, but also because she was quick to handle affairs and often went to deliver food, drink and clothes to Mrs. Qi instead of Miss, so Mrs. Qi treated her very well, even sometimes , revealing a little bit of dissatisfaction with Gu Yuwen——Gu Yuwen is slender, as delicate as a willow, Qi Feiming looks naturally good in everything, but in the eyes of Mrs. Qi, she always feels that it is not easy to give birth, unlike Chen Xiang, Big ass.

Because Mrs. Qi likes her, Qi Feiming talked to her a few times later. Chen Xiang didn't think it was wrong before—after all, they only said a few words, and sometimes, Qi Feiming asked her to know about the young lady. , rather than really having something for her.

After the matter of Pinellia, Chen Xiang analyzed it carefully, and found that since last month, Miss has been taboo towards her!

Chen Xiang was secretly startled.

She always thought that Miss and they were also like sisters.

It turns out that in the young lady's heart, it's not like that!
However, in only two months, everything has changed. Chen Xiang couldn't help smiling wryly when she saw the haggard appearance of Pinellia Pinelliae. After receiving Xiaofeng's message, Chen Xiang fell silent. I got a message from Gu Mingxuan.

After the news spread, Chen Xiang suddenly felt relieved. This secret had been suppressed in her heart for many years. It always made her feel guilty and uncomfortable, and sometimes she couldn't sleep all night—she would always remember that when she was seriously ill, When she was about to be moved out of the mansion to wait to die, that graceful and noble lady asked the imperial physician who treated her to come and see a doctor and prescribe medicine for her lowly servant girl. After that, she escaped with her life.

That lady is Princess Huaqing.

She didn't like Gu Mingxuan, and felt that such a vulgar Gu Mingxuan was not worthy of being the daughter of that incomparably noble wife, but she was sincerely grateful to Princess Huaqing.

Today, she returned this life to Princess Huaqing. Perhaps sometimes, death is the best relief.

"Please be sure to save Pinellia." Chen Xiang prayed like this at the end of the letter.

When x Xiaofeng came back with the news, Gu Mingxuan was slowly reading the account book. After reading the note, she sat on the chair with a dull expression, her face was pale, her hands and feet were cold, her whole body was trembling, trembling, almost fainting, like It's like being hit hard.

Du Juan was so frightened that she ran out to find Nanny Zhuang.

Grandma Zhuang was taken aback by Du Juan. When she heard that Gu Mingxuan was greatly frightened and something was wrong with her, she hurried over without caring about anything else. After that, she saw a puppet-like, Gu Mingxuan who was sitting in a daze.

Mammy Zhuang hurried forward, carefully held Gu Mingxuan's hand, and called softly: "Miss, miss, Mammy is here, do you have anything to say to Mammy?"

After talking so softly for a while, Gu Mingxuan finally rolled her eyes, and said in a shy voice, "Nurse?"

Mammy Zhuang hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Oh, yes, Mammy is right here."

Gu Mingxuan moved her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, and instead fainted directly in Zhuang Nanny's arms.

Grandma Zhuang was frightened now, her eyes sharpened, and while ordering to go to Rong'an Hall to ask Cui to invite the doctor, she asked the waiters in the room.

Xiaofeng stepped forward and gave the note to Nanny Zhuang. Nanny Zhuang didn't care to read it, and put it directly on her body - this news can make the young lady so emotional, it can be seen that it is very important news, so, then It's not suitable for others to know, she wants to see it, but there is really not enough time, after all, it is impossible to prevent others from coming in to serve the young lady fainted.

After she put away the note, she stared at the people in the room sternly, and said sharply: "Miss fainted suddenly, nothing happened before, you know?"

This is the thing to hide the note.

Xiaofeng Lurui and Du Juan, who were waiting in the house at that time, heard the words and hurriedly agreed.

As soon as it was finished, a little girl came in with warm water, incense sticks, fans and other things, and they were brought in together.

Mrs. Cui heard that Gu Mingxuan was fainting, and while sending someone to invite the doctor, she came in person - Gu Mingxuan's status is very unusual now, although most of the current imperial courts are bad news for Yong Wang Feng Qingli, but as long as the emperor still loves Feng Qingli Qingli's, then no one can shake Yongwang Feng Qingli's position.

Even if the fifth prince seems to be powerful and powerful now, that's useless. After all, the emperor is in good health now. It seems that he will be the emperor for another ten years, and there will be no problem at all.

Because of this, Cui's concern for Gu Mingxuan is a lot.

After seeing Gu Mingxuan's disastrous face, Cui Shi was also frightened, what's going on, how did she faint?
Cui asked someone to ask, Lurui Dujuan only said that she didn't know, and the lady suddenly fainted!

Although Cui was skeptical, it was obviously not a good time for interrogation, and it was more important to see a doctor as soon as possible.

The doctor was hurriedly invited, and after feeling the pulse, he went to the outer room, and said to Cui Shi: "Your lady's daughter passed out because of excessive grief and anger, and then she needs to rest. Don't get angry, sad, happy, and sad. Emotional ups and downs like this, you must be calm..."

The doctor left the prescription and left. Mrs. Cui didn't ask anything, and it was hard to ask any more, after all, Zhuang Nanny swore that it was Lurui and others who made Gu Mingxuan sad and angry because of their mischievousness.

Cui had doubts in her heart, but she didn't save Nanny Zhuang's face.

When the medicine was almost ready, Gu Mingxuan woke up.

Granny Zhuang held Gu Mingxuan's hand, and began to cry: "Do you think that grandma is living too comfortably, that's why you want to scare grandma like this? If so, why don't you take a knife and kill me directly?" Kill it, that would be more enjoyable, lest seeing you like this, Mammy's heart aches to the point of death."

Gu Mingxuan tried her best to pull out a weak smile - she was just too sad and angry.

"Don't worry, mammy, there will be no next time." After her mood fluctuated so violently that she fainted, Gu Mingxuan breathed a little, she tried to calm herself, and said to Nanny Zhuang.

"It's fine if there's no next time." Nanny Zhuang didn't ask what was going on, for fear of making Gu Mingxuan sad again. However, Gu Mingxuan has lived two lifetimes after all. Being able to stop herself from being so excited, she forced a smile, and said to Nanny Zhuang: "Did Nanny read that note?"

Nanny Zhuang didn't want to talk about it at first, but seeing Gu Mingxuan's insistence, she could only say: "Not yet, Nanny really couldn't care about the situation just now."

Gu Mingxuan nodded and said, "Nurse, the real cause of my mother's death is written on that note."

"What?" Nanny Zhuang was taken aback, stood up abruptly, and exclaimed, "Really? What's going on?"

This was a rare gaffe of Zhuang Nanny. Gu Mingxuan stretched out her hand, slowly grasped Zhuang Nanny's hand, and said, "The note is on Nanny Zhuang, please see it."

Confused and shocked, Nanny Zhuang took out the note and unfolded it.

Afterwards, although her complexion did not turn pale like Gu Mingxuan's, the corners of her mouth trembled and her body trembled.

"This... this... the princess has never treated her badly..." Madam Zhuang couldn't believe it—the note said: The young lady was lying in the green gauze cabinet, and she heard the princess and the servants say that she had found it. After sending someone to confirm the whereabouts of the eldest lady, they brought the eldest lady back. After two days of panic, the young lady tampered with the princess' soup. Three days later, the princess died of illness.

Please take good care of Banxia, ​​Banxia doesn't know about this, I also deduced it from Miss' behavior and raving later.

Tears slowly flowed from Gu Mingxuan's eyes, "Some people are just like animals by nature, and they are not as good as dogs with a wolf's heart and lungs."

She never thought that her mother would die because of Gu Yuwen.

However, shouldn't there be many people around my mother who are waiting on her, and should be watching closely?How could Gu Yuwen succeed in doing something wrong?What's more, it's such important things as soup and medicine.

Nanny Zhuang also hated it, she knew more than Gu Mingxuan.

Because of the weakness of the princess after giving birth, the princess has been sick all year round and has constant soup and medicine. Gu Yuwen is by her side. She is meticulous and filial, which always comforts the princess. Perhaps it was because of this that Gu Yuwen heard the news that the princess and his confidantes had found the whereabouts of the eldest lady.

As for the princess’s soup, Gu Yuwen has been intervening before—it should be said that at the beginning, it was Gu Yuwen who wanted to show her filial piety, so she would always follow behind the maid who made the medicine, whether it was fanning the fire or serving the medicine. , always do something within one's ability, because there has never been anything wrong, so after a long time, everyone will let her go, but, no matter whether Gu Yuwen is there or not, one of the two maids who cook the medicine will definitely be there. It was impossible for Gu Yuwen to do anything to guard the furnace.

Nanny Zhuang told Gu Mingxuan about this, and Nanny Zhuang also said: "No matter what happens when the medicine is boiled, but before the princess drinks the medicine, there will definitely be a medical girl to test the medicine to make sure it's all right. What did Gu Yuwen do to drink it for the princess? Could it be that she bribed the medical girl? This is impossible..."

The female doctors around the princess are all from Yiwang's mansion, and they are loyal to the princess, and it is absolutely impossible for her to betray the princess.

"Nurse, check it out, you must check it out..." Gu Mingxuan's eyes were dim with tears, but the hatred gradually condensed, and her face was full of determination: "As long as you have done something, it cannot be completely annihilated. I believe that as long as you put your heart into it, you can definitely check it out." Come out, I will ask Xiaofeng to ask Chen Xiang, Chen Xiang must know something."

Chen Xiang said that she inferred it from Gu Yuwen's behavior and babbling, but Gu Mingxuan felt that she should know more.

When Xiaofeng heard the words, he immediately agreed and left the mansion.

What she brought to Gu Mingxuan was the news of Chen Xiang's death.

Gu Mingxuan was a little depressed, Zhuang Nanny held Gu Mingxuan's hand, and said: "Chen Xiang was seriously ill back then and was rescued by the princess. She was grateful to the princess, but she had a loyal master. Today she betrayed her master for the sake of her sisters." , I am afraid that before this, I have a will to die..."

Chen Xiang, pitiful and hateful.

When Gu Mingxuan heard the words, she still couldn't let go.

But there is nothing to do.

"Forget it, let's rescue Banxia first, ask her first if she doesn't know anything, if she doesn't know, send her far away, and never return to the capital in this life, that's the best." Gu Mingxuan said, Then, they fell silent.

Nanny Zhuang could only sigh.

After drinking the medicine, Gu Mingxuan fell into a coma. She was hurt today, and the medicine prescribed by the doctor contained soothing ingredients.

Before falling asleep, Gu Mingxuan was a little undecided, should she tell her father about this?
I still don't want it... Father may have killed Gu Yuwen with a knife, but Gu Yuwen's injury was stained with the blood of her mother and her son, and death was really too cheap for her.
