Dirty color

Chapter 75 But ask for a clear conscience
Gu Wenqian glanced at Gu Mingxuan, but saw that Gu Mingxuan's eyes were clear, with a little worry, Gu Wenqian thought for a while, and he was also a little worried, so he nodded and said to Cui Shi: "Mother, my son is going to see Zhi'er. "

"Go, go." Cui hurriedly urged Gu Wenqian to go.

Gu Mingzhi was burning in a daze at the moment, and felt people coming and going. When she fully woke up, she was startled, opened her eyes, and wanted to get up, but she was weak all over. She just lifted up a little, then fell back After getting on the bed, Gu Mingzhi let out a muffled snort. When she moved, she moved her knee, and it hurt like a heart.

Gu Mingzhi couldn't help but shed tears, and wept aloud.

"Miss, you're awake." Dongqing came in with a medicine bowl in her hand, and seeing Gu Minghe crying, she was stunned for a moment, and scolded outside, "Xiao Tao Xiao Cha, where did you two go?"

On one side, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Gu Mingzhi, and comforted him softly.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and two young maidservants appeared in front of Dongqing, calling softly, "Sister Dongqing."

Dongqing sneered, and said, "I'll deal with you later, hurry up and fetch water for Miss to wash her face."

Gu Mingzhi cried for a while, and finally stopped crying under Dongqing's consolation. Dongqing took the medicine bowl and came forward. Gu Mingzhi cried for a while, and his mood improved a little. , but for some reason, the few words I heard in a daze came back to my mind.

Mother can't take care of herself right now, sister... Heh, cold-blooded and heartless... That little bastard Gu Mingxuan must be gloating... Father is the only one to rely on.

Therefore, after a pause, she obediently picked up the medicine bowl and drank the medicine slowly.

It's hard to swallow, but it's much less painful than kneeling... Those two old godmothers stared at her intently, and if she knelt incorrectly, they would immediately lift her shoulders to make her kneel upright.

That kind of torture... Gu Mingzhi doesn't want to think about it anymore.

Dongqing looked at Gu Mingzhi in a daze, then smiled gratifiedly, and said, "Miss has grown up."

Gu Mingzhi finished drinking the medicine with tears in his eyes, and asked Dongqing: "Is it true that as long as I am obedient, father will not hate me anymore?"

"Miss, think about it before, Master Hou loved Miss very much..." Dongqing took the warm towel handed over by Xiao Tao, and wiped Gu Mingzhi's face carefully. She said, "Master Hou just wants you and Miss The third lady and the sisters are just in harmony, if you hadn't scolded the eldest lady, how could Lord Hou be angry?"

Gu Mingzhi's lips moved, she wanted to say, Gu Mingxuan is so annoying, of course she has to scold her, and Gu Mingxuan is a little bitch, she deliberately stimulated herself to scold her, and then let her father punish her.

Dongqing looked at Gu Mingzhi, who was full of disbelief, and felt a little sad in her heart, but she was more relieved. As long as the fourth lady taught her to be obedient, as long as the fourth lady would not mess around with the third lady in the future, Aunt Cui and the eldest lady, will guarantee their own future.

This is indeed betraying the master, but Aunt Cui is right, Miss's temperament is actually not good, so, although she and Dong Yun's actions are selfish, they really hope that Miss will be well.

She continued to persuade: "I know you are angry with the eldest lady, but miss, you have to think about it, even if you are in someone else's house, if you offend your sister, you will be punished. Besides, the eldest lady... is the princess. The daughter of the empress, the identity of the wife is far away from the empress of the princess, and you and the third lady are naturally incomparable with the eldest lady."

"I'm no worse than her." Gu Mingzhi couldn't help retorting.

Dongqing smiled, did not argue, but followed her and said: "Yes, yes, you grew up in the Hou's mansion, and the rules and etiquette are naturally not comparable to the young lady, so, as long as you are obedient, the Hou will definitely agree with you." I won't be angry anymore, and it will hurt you very much."

"You don't know, this morning I found out that you had a fever, Master Hou was very anxious, so he immediately invited the doctor, and stayed by your bed for a long time, it was because someone came to visit that Master Hou had to leave, you see , Lord Hou really loves you, but the eldest lady is also Lord Hou's daughter, and she is also the eldest sister. Even if you don't care about personal relationships and only follow the rules, if you insult someone else's young lady outside, Lord Hou will punish you Yes, it's the same."

Gu Mingzhi bowed his head silently, and after a long time, he raised his head and said, "I see, Dongqing, I'm sleepy."

"Miss, don't sleep, you haven't eaten yet." Dongqing said with a smile, "The servant is going to make medicine, and Dongyun is going to make porridge for you. I can't check the time. You can drink some porridge to keep you warm." Get back to sleep."

Gu Mingzhi groaned, finished his porridge, fell asleep again, and vaguely heard Dongqing Dongyun scolding others.

"Don't think that now that Miss is grounded, you can be so lazy. Miss is always a lady. As long as Miss learns the rules, Lord Hou will still love his little daughter. As long as Miss says a word, it will be considered a betrayal of you." , Master Hou will not even take a look at it, if I find out that there is no one guarding Miss's bed again..."

When she woke up again, she heard her father's voice.

"Doctor Qian, how is Zhi'er doing now?"

"Reporting to Lord Hou, Fourth Miss is sweating now, and she is much better, but she still needs to be careful not to be exposed to the wind..." Gu Mingzhi felt a little dizzy after hearing a long list of babbles, and couldn't help but let out a groan.

"Father, Fourth Sister is awake." The voice sounded familiar, and when Gu Mingzhi was wondering whose voice it was, Gu Mingxuan's disgusting face appeared in front of him.

"You..." Gu Mingzhi reflexively wanted to curse, but as soon as she moved her body, her leg was pulled. She grunted in pain, and the curse she was about to utter stopped, and the pain made Gu Mingzhi completely awake. Come over, my father is still there, so I can't scold him.

"Zhi'er, what do you think?" Gu Minghe's face also appeared in front of her, her face was full of worry, her eyes were full of tenderness, when Gu Mingzhi saw her, the corners of her lips twitched, and finally she turned her face away , Forced himself to say: "It's okay."

Gu Minghe smiled and helped Gu Mingzhi tuck the corners of the quilt. Gu Mingzhi hid, but in her heart, she firmly remembered Dongqing Dongyun's words, this sister is cold-blooded and ruthless.

Seeing this, Gu Minghe was a little shocked, what happened to Gu Mingzhi, an idiot?
Forget it, she just needs to show her sister's friendliness. As for Gu Mingzhi, as long as she doesn't make trouble for her, she doesn't bother to care about it. At this moment, Gu Minghe suddenly found out that if Gu Mingzhi, an idiot, was grounded, she would save trouble. Less, at least there is no need to deal with Gu Mingzhi's aftermath.

Seeing these two people like this, Gu Mingxuan's eyes flickered slightly. It seems that Gu Mingzhi is still very provocative. After only a day or two, she has already begun to hate Gu Minghe. do it right.

Thinking of this, Gu Mingxuan smiled, took a jade bottle from Luzhu's hand, handed it to Dongqing, and said, "This is the scar removal ointment that my third sister gave me last time. It is said that it was given to my grandmother in the palace last time. Now I don't need it anymore, so I can give it to my fourth younger sister, what the palace bestows must be good things."

Gu Minghe's eyebrows twitched—others don't know what's going on with the scar cream, but she doesn't know it herself?
Gu Mingzhi is an idiot, she doesn't care about how she puts on this thing, but if in the end Gu Mingzhi and Gu Mingxuan apply the same kind of scar cream and get the same black scar...

Gu Minghe became nervous, she glanced at Gu Wenqian, saw that he was not looking at her, she said with a smile: "Big sister is too bad, she uses my sister's things as favors."

"That's the kindness of the third sister, otherwise I wouldn't dare." Gu Mingxuan tilted her head and said with a playful smile, "My good sister, just pretend you didn't see it."

Gu Minghe sighed and said, "Well, who made you a sister."

Gu Mingzhi was dumbfounded as the two of them came and went, while Gu Yuwen was still able to comfort Gu Mingzhi with a smile, while interjecting when she had time.

"Sister Xuan has such a good temper. If it were me, I would definitely be angry with Sister Zhi." Gu Yuwen said to Gu Mingxuan in a soft voice, "Where would you be willing to give her such a precious scar removal ointment?"

Gu Mingzhi's eyes flashed,

Gu Mingxuan glanced at her, this kind of provocation, the skill is not enough, she smiled and said: "Of course I am also angry, but it is my sister after all, I just want to have a clear conscience."

"Well said." Gu Wenqian nodded affirmatively to Gu Mingxuan, and said, "Xuan'er said well, and she has a clear conscience. It's easy to say, but difficult to do. Xuan'er is fine now."

Gu Mingxuan smiled slightly.

After Gu Mingzhi cried once in Gu Wenqian's arms, and then said several times that her daughter was wrong, then Gu Wenqian also comforted Gu Mingzhi, and when he was about to leave, Gu Minghe was at the end, calling Dongyun to come and talk, Gu Mingxuan looked at her One glance, smiled and left.

When Gu Minghe left, Aunt Cui just came.

"I've seen the third lady." Aunt Cui saluted with a swaying posture.

"Auntie, is this?" Gu Minghe asked looking at the things that the servant girl was carrying behind Auntie Cui.

"The bird's nest that the fourth miss used to use came from the madam's share. Now the fourth miss has moved to Juxiang Xiaozhu, and the madam is recuperating. After I asked the old lady, I divided the madam's share by one-third. One, send it to Miss Fourth, and the old lady also rewarded Miss Fourth with some supplements, and asked me to bring them too." Aunt Cui grinned, reached out her hand to touch her temples, and said slowly.

"My aunt is considerate. I didn't think carefully, thanks to my aunt's thoughtfulness." Hearing what Aunt Cui said, Gu Minghe felt a little relieved. For some reason, she always felt a little uneasy.

"I can't be praised by the third lady." Aunt Cui pursed her lips and smiled.

Looking at Gu Minghe's back, Aunt Cui smiled meaningfully.

Gu Mingzhi was playing with the jade vase left by Gu Mingxuan, while Dongyun looked at it, frowned and said: "Although it is said to be a gift from the palace, but this thing... the third lady said, although the eldest lady has good intentions, but the eldest The scars on the young lady's forehead are like that, so let the servants persuade the young lady not to use it."

Dong Yun spoke Gu Minghe's words slowly, her eyes were full of distress for Gu Mingzhi.

Gu Mingzhi snorted coldly, and blurted out: "She has always been so hypocritical, hmph, why didn't she say that just now, and only came to speak ill of people behind their backs after everyone left, it's very shameless."

Gu Mingzhi used to be very afraid of Gu Minghe, and always felt that this sister was perfect in everything, but this time, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this sister was ruthless.

She has never seen this sister in any bad mood. She always smiles very gently, never gets angry or angry, and is very patient. Many young ladies from other families say that her sister is very gentle, but Gu Mingzhi compares herself to herself. Miss other people's family - she herself has a bad temper, but even a lady with a good temper from other people's family has lost her temper at times, even if she doesn't lose her temper, there is always anger.

But his elder sister, Gu Mingzhi, had never seen her angry in his memory.

For some reason, Gu Mingzhi suddenly felt a little cold.

"Miss..." Dongyun was about to persuade, but Dongqing came in and said in a low voice: "Miss, Aunt Cui has come to see you."

Gu Mingzhi was taken aback when he heard the words, and said impatiently, "What is she here for?"

The attitude was still the same as before, disgusted and impatient, but he didn't dare to shout like before, and restrained himself a lot.

"It is said that the old lady gave you the tonic and brought it to you." Dongqing replied, Gu Mingzhi snorted, and cursed in a low voice: "Now she is very proud."

Dong Yun hurriedly said in a low voice: "Miss, don't be like this, you, I will see Aunt Cui in a while, you must thank Aunt Cui for your hard work, and then ask Aunt Cui to convey your thoughts and greetings to the old lady, understand?"

Gu Mingzhi was not so stupid that he didn't know how to please the old lady, so he reluctantly nodded and said impatiently: "Understood, you are the only one who talks too much."

"It's the servant who is talking too much. Our lady is smart and filial."

Being flattered by the two maids made her look a bit small, but when Gu Mingzhi thought of Aunt Cui, she still said wearily, "Let her in."

Aunt Cui came in with a smile, Dongyun took the initiative to hold Nian Xia's hand, and together they went to send the things to the small warehouse for registration, while Aunt Cui stood in front of Gu Mingzhi's bed, greeted Gu Mingzhi with a smile, and comforted her, Gu Mingzhi loved Ignoring them, she managed to pull herself together and said a few words, and Dongqing next to her smiled and said, "Don't blame me, miss, she is weak and can't even sit up, so she doesn't have the energy, alas..."

Aunt Cui smiled lightly, and said softly: "Why, Fourth Miss still has to lie down to rest now, but I disturbed Fourth Miss."

Gu Mingzhi endured and endured, and finally uttered what Dongqing and the others taught, and she said, "Thank you, Auntie."

She has always looked down on Aunt Cui's charming appearance, but now she has to say this soft word to Aunt Cui, and she feels as if she has been insulted.

However, some things, once opened, seem to be not so difficult, just like a piece of porcelain is broken, even if the repaired cracks are completely invisible, but the broken ones are broken, and cannot be compared with the original ones. .

Aunt Cui was also a little surprised, how much Gu Mingzhi looked down on and hated herself, she had always been so obvious, she saw it for real, Gu Mingzhi hated her, so disgusted that she even wanted to chop off all the stools she had made. Drinking water has been used to the point where the cups are broken, and she has really done this kind of thing.

So Aunt Cui never thought that one day, she would hear good things from Gu Mingzhi.

Burying her surprise in her heart, Aunt Cui said with a smile: "It is my honor to take care of Fourth Miss. There is no hard work. I am Fourth Miss. I hope to get better soon, so that the old lady and Lord Hou can rest assured."

Gu Mingzhi's complexion softened slightly, hum, she was considered smart, she didn't push her nose to face, she slowed down, and she said again: "Please, Aunt Cui, please say hello to grandma for me, just say that I am not in good health and cannot serve grandma , is really unfilial."

The words were a bit dry and stuttering, but to Gu Mingzhi, this was already commendable. Aunt Cui agreed, and before leaving, she said to Dongqing Dongyun: "Miss Si is young, what are you doing?" I don't even understand, you have to serve Miss Fourth well, as long as you serve Miss Fourth well, it will benefit you in the future."

It sounded like the most normal words, but it made Dongqing Dongyun's heart beat wildly.

After seeing Aunt Cui that day, and being persuaded by the maid beside Aunt Cui, the two of them had already decided to try their best to find a future for them without betraying Miss Fourth.

Anyway, what Aunt Cui wants is Miss Fourth to be well-behaved, not to cause trouble for her, and not to let the old lady and Master Hou accuse her of not knowing how to housekeeper, but they want Miss Fourth to have a good future, and they can follow suit, everyone is happy, right? ?
After leaving the courtyard gate of Juxiang Xiaozhu, watching the two gatekeepers close the gate, Aunt Cui stood for a while, then pursed her lips and asked Nianxia: "What's going on?"

"Miss San purposely stayed for a while longer, and told Dong Yun that there was something wrong with the scar cream, and asked Dong Yun to persuade Miss Si not to use it." Nian Xia relayed Dong Yun's words to Aunt Cui, and Aunt Cui laughed softly. Moving, Tingting curled up and walked forward.

She thought about what the young lady said, "Of course there is something wrong with this scar cream, otherwise, how could I have become like this..." At that time, the young lady's eyes were cold, she reached out and pointed to the scar on her forehead. black scar.

Aunt Cui remembered that she couldn't help shivering, Miss San, you are really cruel.

How important is a girl's appearance...

"Auntie, after all, what does Miss San mean by this? Miss San didn't know how to talk like that before." Nian Xia didn't quite understand. The Miss San in her impression was gentle, amiable, dignified and generous, how could she say such a thing? What about suggestive words?

It's almost time to directly say that the eldest lady used the scar cream to harm people.

Aunt Cui smiled meaningfully, and she said, "Because she is in a hurry."

What's the meaning?After being stunned for a while, Nian Xia suddenly opened her eyes wide - no, that's what she thought.

Impossible...Miss San...so gentle and amiable...

Nian Xia was a little taken aback.

"Silly girl, have you figured it out? Nothing is impossible." Aunt Cui couldn't help laughing when she heard what Nian Xia couldn't help saying, and she said, "People, you can't just look at the surface... Miss San He was originally the most honorable person in the Hou Mansion, and his future prospects are naturally the most outstanding among the young ladies. But when the eldest lady came back, the status of the third lady immediately dropped a bit. How could it be possible for the third lady? Willing to..."

Nian Xia nodded ignorantly, and couldn't help shivering, so it turned out to be like this.

Aunt Cui walked slowly to Rong'an Hall, smiled and said what Gu Mingzhi said, and then said: "Miss Si is very sensible now, and she keeps saying that she is ignorant, offended her sister, and made the old lady and Master Hou angry. , I feel very regretful."

When Cui heard this, she smiled gratifiedly: "This girl, it's good to know that she's wrong."

"I saw that Miss Si really knew her mistake. Holding the scar-removing medicine given by the eldest lady, she liked it very much. While asking Dongyun to apply the medicine on her, she even asked me to apologize to the eldest lady, saying that she was wrong in the past. Alright, then thank you Miss for the medicine."

Aunt Cui continued with a smile, "Miss Four is also very touched by Miss Miss' kindness, but the little girl is too thin-skinned to talk. I plan to be a middleman, but Miss Sister, and sensible, let the eldest miss go a few more times, say good things, and the two sisters will reconcile if they want to come."

Cui Shi nodded and praised: "You are a thoughtful person, go ahead, say it's done, and I'll give you a big credit."

Aunt Cui nodded happily, but Gu Minghe gasped. Gu Mingzhi, that idiot, lost his temper when it was time to reconcile, but gave in when he shouldn't reconcile now, really... so stupid.

Dong Yun is also an idiot. She asked her to persuade Gu Mingzhi not to use that medicine, but she still used it.

No, it can't be like this, there is something wrong with the medicine, if Biren finds out that Gu Mingzhi and Gu Mingxuan's final scars are exactly the same, it will be a mess.

Gu Minghe had a gentle smile on his face, but he was eagerly thinking about how to deal with it.

After leaving Cui's door and returning to her own room, Yancao said in a low voice: "Miss, what can I do, that medicine..."

Gu Minghe smiled gently and said, "What are you afraid of? It's only the first day. Since the fourth sister doesn't listen to the advice, let's have the bottle of medicine smashed tomorrow."

Even behind the scenes, Gu Minghe didn't take off her gentle and dignified mask.

Yancao nodded when she heard the words, yes, it's just a day, it's nothing.

Aunt Cui told Gu Mingxuan about this matter, and Gu Mingxuan raised her eyebrows and laughed. Gu Minghe originally planned to provoke Gu Mingzhi to use it, but she didn't expect that the person Gu Mingzhi hated the most now would probably have changed from herself to Gu Minghe, so she didn't Listen to Gu Minghe's words.

Gu Minghe failed to achieve his goal once, and there will definitely be a second time, so Dongyun Dongqing should be optimistic about the bottle of medicine.

Just wait and see what Gu Minghe plans to do.

"Miss, the residence of the cuckoo and the warbler has been arranged. Madam Zhuang said that the sisters are still young, so they will be trained and taught by her for a while. After the teaching is completed, they will come to serve the lady." Lurui came in and reported. , Gu Mingxuan nodded, and after thinking about it, she changed into her godly clothes and went to Cui's side.

Tsinghua University should also add more staff.
