Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 120 Killing is not the purpose

She had already read the paper brought back from He Zhifu's study when she was alone in the carriage, and it was indeed about the case.

It's just that it doesn't look like the letter Su Jingchun said was written by Shang Wenzhong, but more like a letter that He Zhifu wrote but didn't send.

The letter only said that the case of "Peach Blossom Fan" had been settled, and Gu Liubai was sentenced to death. I hope that your lord can fulfill the previous promise and introduce that person to...

The letter was very secretive, and when it came to that person, it was extremely vague. There was no name, no official title, and it could only be known that he was a big shot.

If this letter was written to Wen Zhongshu, it would indeed prove that her elder brother was indeed wronged by He Zhifu.

Somewhat choked up, Gu Sixiao stared at Su Jingchun, and asked in a deep voice: "Master Su, can you ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to retry this case through Prince Rui? With this letter, it may prove my elder brother's innocence and give our Gu family justice. "

"Only by this letter? A letter that has not been signed and signed?" Su Jingchun laughed, but looked up at Gu Sixiao's teary eyes, and turned his head away unconsciously.

"Don't cry, I like to see women's tears..."

"Who said I was crying!?" Tears had already flowed down her cheeks, but Gu Sixiao still stubbornly raised her head, turned her head away, wiped away her tears, and reached for the letter.

Just when she got the letter, Su Jingchun also turned around and put it on her hand, "Gu Sixiao, if you want to avenge your brother, you have to wait. Just this letter, what do you want?" Even if the case is retried, Prefect He will not admit this letter, and Wen Zhongshu will not admit that he has written a letter to Prefect He. Unless, you let that person fall first!"

"If I know who that person is, I won't stand in front of you. Even if I try to die, I will kill my enemy!"

"Desperate to die?" Su Jingchun snorted coldly, suddenly raised his hand to grab Gu Sixiao's chin, and stared firmly into her eyes.

No one has ever been so rude to her. Gu Sixiao was so angry that she raised her hand to push Su Jingchun, but she couldn't push him away at all.

"Gu Sixiao, who do you think you are? A legendary hero from the green forest? He kills the enemy with his own hands! What are your abilities? Even if you really know who the enemy is, can you get close to him?!"

"me……"

Before Gu Sixiao could finish his sentence, Su Jingchun asked again: "Are you really satisfied after killing your enemy? Before, who said that you should rehabilitate your dead brother, wash away the shame of the Gu family, rebuild the Gu family's fan shop, and let the fan The name of the king is to honor Daxia?! Gu Sixiao, can you do this only by killing people?!"

Pressed by him again and again, almost wanting to hide, Gu Sixiao pushed Su Jingchun hard, and cried, "I know I can't do it, just like you said, I might not even be able to get close to that villain—— I can't do anything..."

By the end, she was sobbing that she nearly slipped and fell to the ground.

Su Jingchun let go, but held her up when she was about to fall, "I will help you! But, you must not be so reckless again, and you must not say that you can kill your enemy without me—killing is not yours!" Purpose! Gu Sixiao, did you hear that?"

Facing Su Jingchun's serious eyes, Gu Sixiao nodded in a daze.

"That's good..." Su Jingchun's eyes warmed up, and a smile appeared on his face, "Sixiao, you don't have to worry about the He family's affairs. Since I let Su Mei take action, I will naturally find out the He family's secrets. As for you, go and learn how to do business with Mrs. Xue Erniang! If you don't learn well, how are you going to rebuild the Gu Family Fan Shop?!"

"Sister Wanhua, she..." Gu Sixiao swallowed the words before he could speak.

After staring at Su Jingchun, I suddenly became angry from embarrassment, "Of course I will learn from Sister Wanhua. If I don't follow her, do I want to follow someone as cunning as a fox like you? I don't know where she can see your character. !"

Turning around to leave, when she reached the door, she turned her head again, glared at Su Jingchun and snorted, "Mr. Su, I'm not your cat or dog. I'm not something you can play around with."

"Do I have it?" Su Jingchun raised his eyebrows, seeing Gu Sixiao rushing out the door without answering, he couldn't help laughing.

This girl, he has never manipulated her.

Turning his head to think about it, the smile on his lips became more gentle, he lowered his head, he wrote the prescription himself, and called Su Zhu who was guarding the door.

"Go grab some medicines and deliver them to Xue's house in person."

Su Zhu agreed, but couldn't help muttering: "My lord, you are too kind to Gu Hua'er, right? Actually, what can she help? A little lady, it's fine if she doesn't drag us down. If I, Let her go far away."

With his gaze slightly fixed, Su Jingchun's smile was slightly restrained, and he said in a low voice, "Do whatever you're told, why are there so many nonsense?"

Startled, Su Zhu didn't dare to say any more, turned around and went out with the prescription, walked to the door, but couldn't help but look back.

Did the young master really fall in love with that girl?He was just joking and talking nonsense before, if this is true, he is right, then the officials and wives in the mansion should not expose his skin.

Shivering, Su Zhu shook his head to shake off that weird feeling, not daring to think about it.

It may be that she really caught a cold, but Gu Sixiao felt top-heavy when she returned to Xue's mansion. She didn't go to greet the old lady, but went back to the room, lay on the bed and fell asleep somehow.

In a daze, and after an unknown amount of time, I vaguely heard Xue Wanhua's voice.

"Are you awake?" She leaned down and touched Gu Sixiao's forehead with her hand. Xue Wanhua turned around and asked Xiaodie to bring the medicine. Come here. Drink it, it will be fine."

"Su Jingchun?" Blinking, Gu Sixiao didn't expect that Su Jingchun really took the medicine for her.

"Well," Xue Wanhua lowered her eyes, took the bowl that Gu Sixiao handed back, and handed it to Xiaodie, but she still didn't turn her head to look at Gu Sixiao.

"Hua'er, you have followed me to learn a lot in the shop recently, after a few days, go to the shop in Qingshui County to help out!"

Hearing this, Gu Sixiao looked at Xue Wanhua's side face, a little confused, "Sister thinks I'm not doing well?"

Could it be because of Su Jingchun?

"It's not that you didn't do well," Xue Wanhua finally turned around, "Hua'er, I'm not afraid to tell you frankly that there are two reasons why I asked you to go to Qingshui County, one is that I want you to go to Qingshui County to check things out One year's account, another one, but I don't want you to get too close to Mr. Su."

"Why? Didn't my sister say that Su Jingchun is a good person before?"

With a thoughtful smile, Xue Wanhua said softly: "Yes, I said that Mr. Su is a good person, but——not your good match."

Seeing Gu Sixiao's strange expression, as if she wanted to say something, Xue Wanhua bent down, pressed Gu Sixiao's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Although they are both merchants, our Xue family and Su family are incomparable, let alone you married How wronged the Su family will be, even if you want to marry, you can't marry in. Hua'er, listen to your sister and forget Mr. Su!"

"Oh, my sister is doing it for my own good..." Gu Sixiao laughed, looked at Xue Wanhua steadfastly, and said in a deep voice: "However, sister, you are still wrong! I never thought of marrying into the Su family."

She smiled quietly, although she didn't say a word of accusation, but the smiling eyes made Xue Wanhua feel glaring.

She withdrew her hand suddenly, and said awkwardly, "I'm all for you and this family. You'll know sooner or later."

Gu Sixiao didn't respond, but silently watched Xue Wanhua turn around and go out.

"Little lady," Xiaodie called out in a low voice, "I will pack up my things and go to Qingshui with my little lady tomorrow."

"You don't need to come with me!" Gu Sixiao sneered, staring at Xiaodie, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaodie, I'm too lazy to pretend to be confused with you, you and I know it well, although you are in my courtyard, but I am not the one who is loyal to you! I dare not keep a girl like you who lives in Cao Ying and has her heart in Han. I will tell the old lady tomorrow to let you go back to Cixuan Hall."

Xiaodie plopped and knelt on the ground, "Little lady, please, please keep me! Don't send me back. If you tell the old lady that you don't want me, then I will definitely be sent out. Even the old lady If you don't sell me, Miss San won't let me go..."

"What does that have to do with me?" Glancing at Xiaodie coldly, Gu Sixiao sneered and said, "Could it be that I know you will harm me, but I still want to keep you by my side? Xiaodie, during this time, you have been watching me, Selling news to Xue Wanying, and listening to her words to harm me, I have tolerated it until today, and it is enough."

"I know, I know, it's all my fault, what I did wrong." Xiaodie patted her chest and cried: "Little lady, I don't dare anymore, I will listen to you from now on."

"Listen to me? Who would believe me when I say nothing?"

"I, I swear!"

"Oaths are nothing more than coaxing people, and they can't be taken seriously."

Looking up at Gu Sixiao's indifferent expression, Xiaodie became anxious, "I, I know about the third lady, she, she and Guanshi Li have personal interests! Little lady, I told you everything, don't drive me away ——I really will listen to you from now on..."

His eyes flickered, Gu Sixiao looked at Xiaodie, remained silent for a moment, and then asked: "How much do you know about Xue Wanying and that Li Guanshi? Tell me all about it, and other things. If what I say is wrong, I will not To punish you, you will do it since you return to Cixuan Hall."

Xiaodie nodded, knelt on the ground, and really told everything she knew.

Some, Gu Sixiao knew, some she didn't know, although she didn't know the truth, but looking at Xiaodie's expression, she believed what she said was true.

Because of Xiaodie's surrender, she stopped talking about driving her away, and she took Xiaodie to Qingshui County by car the next day.

Before going out, Xue Wanhua specially came to see her off, held her hand for a long time, and then stuffed a purse into her hand.

Gu Sixiao listened to it, and kept laughing, but there was an unspeakable feeling in her heart.

She thought that she could regard Xue Wanhua as a sister, but it turned out that they were all fake.

There was nothing to say along the way, and before evening, they had already arrived in Qingshui County.

This Qingshui County is not too close to Jinan Prefecture, but it is closer to the seaside port. It is said that it takes only half a day to reach the nearest port.

Maritime merchants going north mostly stop at the port, and most of the gemstones for Xue's family are bought by shops in Qingshui County.

Among the dozen or so shops of Xue's family, Qingshui County is the most important one.

Gu Sixiao had just met the shopkeeper Huang in Qingshui County a few days ago.I don't know why Xue Wanhua asked her to check the accounts again.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't reveal anything. When he entered Qingshui County, Gu Sixiao didn't stay on the street too much, and just asked the driver to rush to the shop.

Before arriving at the place, Xiaodie suddenly opened the car window and called out: "Little lady, do you think it belongs to Shopkeeper Huang?!"
