Dirty color

Chapter 62 Heavy Penalty
He's complexion turned pale in an instant. Gu Wenqian didn't say anything after Gu Mingxuan found out what she was doing that day and said nothing. She thought that Gu Wenqian didn't understand what she meant, so this matter passed away, but she didn't expect that two months later , Gu Wenqian suddenly said the words out of his mouth.

He was speechless.

Gu Wenqian looked at Mr. He indifferently. He didn't pay attention to some things at the beginning, but it didn't mean he was stupid, but he was too relieved; if he didn't say anything about some things, it didn't mean he didn't understand, but it was just to save face for Mr. He. After all, Mrs. He still has three children, who are his own flesh and blood, and he always has to take care of them.

"Father, it's getting late. It's time for my daughter to go back to rest." How to punish Gu Mingzhi next, she doesn't have to be present, anyway, Gu Mingzhi will definitely not have a good time.

"Okay, take your time on the road." Gu Wenqian glanced at Mrs. He and Gu Mingzhi, and felt that this place is not suitable for Gu Mingxuan to stay, so he nodded, and told Luzhu and Lurui, "Take good care of Missy, you know?"

After watching Gu Mingxuan leave, Gu Wenqian looked indifferently, glanced at Mrs. He and Gu Mingzhi, and said, "You know what you have done before, so I don't want to say more. It's not good for the mistress, I have to trouble my mother for the affairs in the mansion, and let's talk about it when you think you can do it well."

In a word, he took away the right of the housekeeper of the He family, and the He family was suddenly startled. After that, he looked at Gu Wenqian in disbelief, and asked in astonishment: "Master Hou, what did you say?"

Gu Wenqian just gave her a cold look, then turned to look at Gu Mingzhi, and said, "As for you... from tomorrow, you will be fined to kneel in the ancestral hall for ten days. Think about it carefully, what is wrong with what you did? After waiting, you will move to Juxiang Go to Xiaozhu and be confined for three years, when you can change your vicious mind, come out again."

This punishment is not insignificant. Mrs. He was still sad that she was deprived of official power, but now she heard Gu Wenqian's words, her mind was shocked, her body softened, she fell to the ground, and was confined for two years. Are you going to destroy Zhi'er?At that time, when the news of her grounding spreads, others will definitely know that Zhi'er has made a big mistake. With such a woman, which family would dare to ask for another marriage?

"No...Master Hou, Zhi'er was just confused for a while, please let Zhi'er go, otherwise, if the news spreads, it will ruin Zhi'er's life." He pulled Gu Wenqian's leg and begged.

Gu Wenqian glanced at Gu Mingzhi. She had tears in her eyes, her face was pale, and her body was trembling. It was completely different from her previous cute and cute appearance. Her heart softened slightly. After all, she was her own daughter. If she was not too disappointed and too angry, He also wouldn't scold her so harshly. He didn't want to see his children, like the descendants of other families, fight for some things outside of him, and fight so that father, son, sister, and brother all became enemies.

Her expression couldn't help but slow down. Seeing the change in Gu Wenqian's expression, He knew that Gu Wenqian's heart had softened, and immediately said: "Master Hou, Zhi'er is still young, and her days are still long..."

"I will allow her to go out if there is something important. It is usually exempted. When others ask, they say that they have found a nanny and are teaching her to learn the rules." Gu Wenqian thought for a while, and finally let go. Then, he told He Shi Said: "These days, you should not go out, and reflect on yourself in Baihe Hall."

This is when even Mrs. He was grounded, and Mrs. He was taken aback. Gu Wenqian said to Dongyun and Dongqing again: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and send Miss Four to the ancestral hall."

There is no room for peace, He suddenly woke up, and begged: "Master Hou, Zhi'er is still injured, she..."

It's okay not to mention the wound, but when I mentioned it again, Gu Wenqian's heart that had just softened suddenly hardened again, and he scolded: "How did she get hurt, don't you know? If you talk too much, she will kneel down and don't come out."

After speaking, he shook his hand and went out.

*
When Gu Mingxuan came out of He's room, she could still hear the muffled sound of angry reprimands in the room. After a slight smile flashed in her eyes, Gu Mingxuan went silently to Tsinghua Garden.

Nanny Zhuang waited for Gu Mingxuan for a long time. She was always worried. Gu Mingxuan didn't grow up in a deep house. Although she was smart, she had little contact with her. She was always afraid that Gu Mingxuan would suffer. A happy smile.

"It's my fault that I made Nanny worry." Gu Mingxuan stepped forward and held Nanny Zhuang's hand, and said with a smile. After eating slowly, Gu Mingxuan finished talking about today's affairs with Nanny Zhuang, and Nanny Zhuang Mammy frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm a little anxious."

Gu Mingxuan bowed her head to be taught, and said "Yes" after saying, "It just happened to be this opportunity."

Nanny Zhuang patted Gu Mingxuan's hand to express her understanding. The He family was full of malice towards the young lady, so she would naturally fight back if she had the opportunity.

Gu Mingxuan's nights were spent studying diligently, but Nanny Zhuang tried her best to teach her what a rich girl should know, and Gu Mingxuan also learned quickly, which made Nanny Zhuang very gratified.

Although Gu Mingxuan came back late for dinner today, Nanny Zhuang did not relax her request for Gu Mingxuan's study after receiving the wound medicine ordered by Gu Wenqian and giving it to Gu Mingxuan with distress.

Gu Mingxuan did not slack off at all just like the previous two months.

When Gu Mingxuan finally finished tonight's work, it was the middle of the day, and Luzhu and Lurui waited for her to wash up. Gu Mingxuan never wanted anyone to stay overnight, so when Luzhu and the others went to rest by themselves, Gu Mingxuan sat in the room for a while , sitting on the bed, took a wooden box next to the bed, opened it, and there was a picture scroll inside, opened it slowly, and stared carefully.

In the painting is a woman, she is wearing a light-colored skirt, she is holding a plum blossom with her slender fingers, and she is sniffing lightly with her eyes closed. The tip of the brush pours out, making people know at a glance how much love the painter has for the woman in the painting.

The facial features of the woman in the painting are seven or eight points similar to those of Gu Mingxuan, but she is more dignified and elegant, while Gu Mingxuan still looks a little immature. Looking at the woman in the painting, Gu Mingxuan said with a smile: "Mother, today my daughter let Gu Mingzhi After suffering a big loss, the He family may not be able to please her. Hmph, they want to plot against their daughter, and the daughter will naturally not let them have a good time. Why repay a grievance with virtue? Daughters like to treat others in the same way as others gone."

"Mom, you didn't see it today. He's face was turning blue and white with anger. The daughter almost died laughing, but the father was here, and the daughter didn't dare to laugh. She had to hold back, and almost got internal injuries." While Gu Mingxuan was talking, she couldn't help but laughed. She laughed heartily. When her brows and eyes were curved, her bright eyes seemed to contain a pool of autumn water, which made people feel excited for no reason.

He stood over there, watching her proud, charming, and snickering. He seemed to be infected by her smile, and couldn't help showing a slight smile on his face. Today's her, and that day's eyes There is really a big difference between the cold and quiet her, one is like being in the dark, and the cold breath can freeze the heart; the other is in the spring, among the flowers, triumphant and extremely cute.

"Mother, Mother Zhuang said, don't let your daughter be blinded by hatred, and don't make yourself unhappy because you want revenge. My daughter thought about it for a long time and felt that what Mother Zhuang said was right. Mother must have given birth to her daughter. I hope my daughter can be happy and healthy. I definitely don’t like to see a gloomy dominatrix. My daughter decided to listen to Nanny Zhuang and make them unhappy while she is happy. This is true. Revenge, mother, do you think what your daughter said is right?" Gu Mingxuan spoke to the portrait with a smile.

Nanny Zhuang had indeed persuaded her in this way. She was a little unwilling at the time, but later on, she thought of her own child. As a mother, if she had her own child, what would she want him to do?

It must be happiness, peace, health, and nothing else.

So, she can gradually understand Zhuang Nanny's words, revenge must be revenged, but she can't put herself in the hatred and make herself unhappy. In that case, even if she takes revenge, her life will be ruined, I'm sorry Mother's love, I'm sorry for father's doting on you, but also the second life God gave her.

When thinking about this, Gu Mingxuan smiled, and then slowly put away the scroll, carefully putting it into the box, for fear of any damage, the portrait of her mother was so cherished in her previous life, but it was a pity that Gu Mingzhi finally " Accidentally knocked over the teacup and got wet.

Although she was heartbroken, she also discovered a big secret. Gu Mingxuan caressed the wooden box and smiled faintly in her heart. In her previous life, this picture scroll helped her a lot. In this life, as long as she thinks, the things in this picture scroll , can still help her a lot, but Gu Mingxuan does not intend to obtain that thing at the cost of damaging the painting.

There is nothing more precious than a mother's remains.

So, what is the purpose of this visitor today?

That kind of faint, almost non-existent breath is really very hidden. However, in her previous life, she was used to being cautious and developed a strong intuition. Therefore, although the breath of strangers in this room is very faint and very Indifferent, but she was still found.

The Marquis of Shun'an has made a fortune in military service, so the guards in the mansion are not the kind of guards that ordinary people find casually as long as they are strong and strong, but soldiers who have really been on the battlefield. With disabilities, maybe because they are old and not suitable for fighting, so they became the guards of the mansion, but they fight on the battlefield all the year round. After all, they are different from the general guards. Under their strict patrol, the general It is absolutely impossible for the little thief to run into Shun'an Hou's mansion so smoothly, and even touch his own boudoir in the backyard.

Therefore, the Marquis of Shun'an has never been thieves.

Now who is this gentleman on Liang who came in smoothly?

Such a powerful person, I am afraid that the picture is not small.

Is it for that secret?Holding the wooden box in her hand, Gu Mingxuan had no choice but to think this way, but she didn't dare to speak out, for fear of offending the gentleman on the beam, and causing trouble for herself——In the middle of the night, a man entered Miss Qianjin's boudoir. It's nothing, if there are too many people talking, something will happen.

As for murder and the like, she is not afraid, because there is no murderous intent in that breath.

So as long as she doesn't say a word, when the gentleman on Liang is gone, she won't have any bad reputation.

Gu Mingxuan pretended not to know, slowly put the wooden box next to her pillow, and then said to the wooden box: "Mother, good night, my daughter is going to bed, and there are still many things to do tomorrow."

As she spoke, she stepped on her embroidered shoes to the ground, blew out the candles, and then climbed into the bed to sleep.

This gentleman on Liang is definitely not here to rob sex. She is still a bean sprouts. If she wants to rob sex, she should go to Gu Minghe, the famous third lady of Shun'an Houfu. If that is the case, she should go to sleep. That person was able to find out the big secret hidden in this mansion. After all, the biggest secret was placed next to his pillow, and it was kept so openly. Most people would only think that the portrait was entrusted to his mother. Your longing and admiration, isn't it?

So, this Tsinghua Garden, or even this Marquis of Shun'an Mansion, he can flip through it as he pleases, as long as he sleeps with his mother's portrait in his arms, that's enough.

Hmph, Gu Mingxuan closed her eyes with a little complacency, and she really fell asleep after a short while. As long as it is, her emotions today are too carefree, and after that, she will be exhausted and need to sleep well. Take a nap to nourish your spirit.

He was in the dark, seeing her happily climbing up and down like a rabbit, and then pulled the quilt for himself and covered it under her fair neck. For some reason, he felt a little itchy in his hands, and wanted to, Just go up and see what it feels like.

In the end, he still smacked his lips regretfully. This cousin of his is actually very fun, but now he is in Shun'an Hou Mansion, and if those guards are alarmed, it will not be fun. So, he has to restrain himself, he is very I'm a little upset.

A gust of wind blew, and soon after, a black shadow floated around the Tsinghua Garden, then floated out of the Marquis of Shun'an Mansion, and entered a carriage parked not far away.

"Master, are you alright?" Cheng An, who was waiting outside the car, asked in a low voice with concern.

The people in the car did not speak. At this moment, he was wearing a black night clothes, wrapped himself in a thick mink fur cloak, and then, holding a hand stove, his face was pale and shivering, as if he was really frozen Normally, he didn't make a sound even when Cheng An asked him a question. After a long time, he finally made a sound and said, "I'm fine, let's go back."

Chengan agreed.

*
After Gu Wenqian came out of Baihe Hall, his face was ashen, and he went to Rong'an Hall, and then his face softened slightly.

"Master Hou." Rong'an Hall is Cui's residence, so it is naturally well-mannered, and all the maids stood solemnly. When they saw Gu Wenqian, they hurriedly saluted. Gu Wenqian waved his hand and entered the room by himself.

On Cui's side, Gu Minghe had just set up a meal and hadn't had time to eat yet. Hearing Gu Wenqian's arrival, Cui looked at Gu Wenqian with joy, smiled and said, "Why is it so late today? Haven't eaten yet?"

"There is something in the Ministry of War. After I came out, I had a few drinks with Mou Shilang and ate a little bit, but my son is still very greedy for the food from the mother." Gu Wenqian is very filial, and the words in his mouth are only Cui's joy. The two stopped talking before stepping forward to salute.

Although the 11-year-old girl has not yet fully grown, she always looks a little immature, but Gu Minghe is tall, with a beautiful face, and her every move is soft and elegant. Gu Wenqian nodded with a slight smile and said, "He'er seems to have grown taller again."

Gu Minghe pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Grandmother's food is really delicious, and she supports people. My daughter is worried. If she grows too tall, she will have to bend over to see people. How tiring."

Gu Wenqian sighed in his heart, they were all his own children, Xuan'er and He'er both advanced and retreated, Rong'er was quite sensible even though she was young, only Zhi'er... she was only young, how could she understand those vicious words, all of them were He was taught badly by He Shi.

After finishing the meal, Gu Minghe said he was going to visit Gu Mingzhi, but Gu Wenqian didn't stop him. He nodded and said to Gu Minghe, "Go, and persuade your mother and Zhi'er well."

Gu Minghe responded, and after going out, his complexion suddenly sank, and then he returned to his original appearance, but in his heart, he was full of anger. Another incident happened in Baihetang, but because he was in Rong'antang, he was still in the care of his grandmother Cui. In front of her, she didn't have time to inquire carefully, so she could only pretend that she didn't know, and served her grandmother with peace of mind, but her heart had long been suspended.

But after only a while, what happened?

In the room, Cui Shi looked at Gu Wenqian and asked, "Tell me, what happened, is it worth your hassle to come here, with such an ugly face?"

Gu Wenqian sighed, said the matter again, and then said: "Mr. Mother will help mother manage things together."

Hui Niang is Aunt Cui's name.

Cui frowned, she thought He had made a lot of trouble today, but unexpectedly, it didn't take long for such a fuss to happen again... After a while, Cui said: "It's okay if I'm tired, But the dignified Mrs. Shun'an Hou doesn't care about the house, she doesn't go out to socialize, she can still complain of illness in a short period of time, what should I do after a long time? I can't, I won't socialize anymore. "

Gu Wenqian sighed, and said helplessly: "Let's do this first, and wait for my son to think of a way."

Cui Shi nodded, and then said: "Zhi'er is still young after all, if you teach her well, you can still get her back. You did a good job separating Zhi'er from He Shi, so don't worry about the errands. I will take care of this matter." OK."

Gu Wenqian said ashamedly: "It's all because of the son's badness, which caused the mother to work hard, and couldn't even enjoy a happy life."

Cui waved her hand and said with a smile: "As a mother, there is no one who doesn't want the child to be well. It's nothing to be tired. Don't worry, it's getting late, go and rest first."

When Gu Wenqian left, Cui closed her eyes and endured it again and again, and then suppressed the anger in her heart. When Gu Wenqian wanted to straighten He, she just didn't want to. He's background was too low. I couldn't afford the scene of the Marquis of Shun'an, but at that time, the Princess Huaqing had just left, and my son felt uncomfortable, and vowed to stay there for three years. After that, he had more and more errands, and later he only said that he didn't want to spoil other girls again. family, and the He family has a Rong'er after all, just to give Rong'er a good background, and to give the He family face.

She tried all kinds of persuasion, but it was useless, so she agreed, and later comforted herself, thinking it was for He'er. With the status of a legitimate daughter, it is not impossible for He'er to climb to a higher level something happened.

Unexpectedly, until today, the He family would do such a thing. Miss Qianjin of the Marquis of Shun'an, should she do it?Let's see how Zhi'er has been taught by her. She is a dignified daughter of the Marquis's Mansion and has no education at all. If word spreads, which high-ranking family would dare to ask for her?

Not to mention ruining Zhi'er's future, I'm afraid even He'er's future will be implicated.

From the bottom of Cui's heart, she wished that He could be hacked into pieces.

After a while, Cui called Nanny Qi to come in and give orders.

Nanny Qi was startled inwardly, what is this for?Da Furen and Fourth Miss, all have to be grounded?

Shocked inwardly, Nanny Qi remained calm, accepted the errand, and selected four women to come to Baihetang, while Mrs. Cui looked at Nanny Cui and said, "It seems that we are going to give Zhi'er I need to find a stricter nanny, but He'er and Ling'er will also need it, and tomorrow, I'll still find Nanny Zhuang and ask Nanny Zhuang to recommend one."

Nanny Qi didn't know about the conversation between Mrs. Cui and Nanny Cui. After she arrived at the Baihe Hall, someone naturally went in to report, and Nanny Qi was quickly invited in.

He's eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just shed tears, and she hadn't had time to wash up yet. It seemed that she was crying before she came in, while the fourth miss Gu Mingzhi was still crying now, and the eldest miss Gu Minghe wanted to coax two of them, but there was no Impatient, still calm and soft-spoken, when Nanny Qi came in and saw such a scene, she couldn't help secretly praising her.

Sure enough, Miss San was still a lovely person, gentle and generous, with a certain amount of advance and retreat.

"My servant has met the eldest lady, the third young lady, and the fourth young lady." Nanny Qi saw it with a smile, and then said what Cui said with a smile. Of course, she said it very tactfully. Then take a good rest, the old lady will take care of the affairs in the mansion, please rest assured; as for the fourth young lady, I don't want to disturb my wife's recuperation, so I will move to Juxiang Xiaozhu temporarily, and then move back when my wife is well, etc. .

As for the matter of going to kneel in the ancestral hall, Nanny Qi also said it nicely. Miss Si misses her mother so much that she is willing to go to the ancestral hall to ask her ancestors to protect her mother. It is commendable for her filial piety...

Gu Mingzhi wanted to resist, but Gu Minghe glanced over and silenced his voice. Gu Minghe said with a smile: "Madam Qi, please run for a while. Zhi'er has to pack up. Please wait a moment, Madam Qi. Yancao, watch tea for Grandma Qi."

Naturally, Nanny Qi would not be ungrateful, seeing that they had something to say, she avoided to drink tea in the side hall by herself.

"He'er, Zhi'er is still sick with you, why don't you intercede for Zhi'er, so as to avoid Zhier's punishment..." In the bottom of He's heart, he was a little dissatisfied with Gu Minghe, but under Gu Minghe's gaze, He didn't know why , her heart became more and more empty, and finally, she said, "Even if it is, it would be nice to save two days."
