Chapter 188 The Devil's Moment ([-])

"Maosheng, we haven't settled on the establishment of the 'Zhuji Society' in Datangsao's manor. This time, Datangsao invited us to visit there. I plan to take Hongluan to the manor for a few days. Your letter said that Starting from Gaochang, I'm on my way back to Yongzhou, so I won't babble with you.

a……"

This was the last letter from Yongzhou that Qi Maosheng received during his trip to Gaochang. At that time, Qi Maosheng was on his way back to Yongzhou. He reported several trips to Gu Xiyan intermittently on the way, but Gu Xiyan did not reply.

Maybe it's because I went to the manor of the lobby wife, so it's not convenient to write a letter!

In any case, using the military as espionage to send letters like this, even if it is a husband and wife, if people find out, it will cause criticism.

Qi Maosheng didn't care, and rushed back day and night.

It is indeed inconvenient for Gu Xiyan to reply.

On the second day of August, she left Duanniang, Hongyu, and Yunshang to be housekeepers in Liyuan, and brought Hongluan, Moju, Zhizi, Lei Momo, Wang Momo, Cuiyu, Yanhong, Xia Qing, Xingyu, and Ben. Duan Yingluo and others, who were supposed to be lying on the bed, went to Cui's manor outside Yongzhou City. They were accompanied by Fang Shaoqin and her maidservants.

One thing, Gu Xiyan did not mention it to Qi Maosheng in the letter, this trip was not only invited by the lobby sister-in-law Cui Shi, but also approved by Mrs. Xu.

Because, at the end of July, news came from Peanut Alley that Wei Shiying was pregnant.

The first person in the Duke of Yan's mansion to know the news was Gu Xiyan.

That night, Fang Shaoqin rushed to Liyuan.

Her face was as usual, her posture was still dignified, and her manners were still graceful, but her straight back revealed her resentment.

Fang Shaoqin smiled and said to Gu Xiyan: "Auntie, Wei Shiying is pregnant. In order to avoid suspicion, I had to come and beg Auntie to take me in for a few days."

At that time, Gu Xiyan was dumbfounded and asked, "How much time do you have?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Fang Shaoqin's mouth: "It's been more than two months!"

More than two months!

Gu Xiyan calculated in her heart.

Wasn't that when they were newly married...

She couldn't say a word, she nodded hurriedly: "You just stay here with peace of mind..." Then she asked Yun Shang to serve Fang Shaoqin to wash.

Nanny Shi who came with her thanked Gu Xiyan with tears in her eyes.

Gu Xiyan took this opportunity to find Duanniang, told her about the situation, and said: "Place Shaoqin in Zhuji Hall, she likes the atmosphere there the most. You will serve by the side and order the kitchen to do some cooking. The dishes she usually likes to eat are brought, I will go to Mrs. Xu's place."

Duanniang sighed, Gu Xiyan took Cuiyu and turned to Xianji courtyard.

Mrs. Xu just lay down, when she heard that Gu Xiyan was coming, she thought about it for a moment before letting someone welcome her in.

After Gu Xiyan greeted Mrs. Xu, she said directly: "Shaoqin is at my place. She said that Aunt Wei in the young master's room is pregnant. She was afraid of causing any gossip, so she wanted to rest at my place for a few days. The daughter-in-law also I dare not make up my mind, so I came here to report to my mother!"

Mrs. Xu's eyes went dark and she passed out.

The room was in chaos, Nanny Yi applied cold water to Mrs. Xu's head again, pinched kernels again, finally, Mrs. Xu opened her eyes.The first thing she said was: "Nurse Yi, send someone to kick me out of that little bitch's belly!"

Nanny Yi glanced at Gu Xiyan, and said, "Ma'am, you must be talking nonsense, Aunt Wei is pregnant with the blood of the Qi family..."

"Damn!" Mrs. Xu's face was ferocious, her eyes widened, "That little bastard is five months pregnant within three months of her marriage... Why is he protecting her from letting her come to pay my respects? Is it because I am afraid that she will set rules in front of me and make that child disappear... Don't think that I am silent and treat me as a fool..."

Nanny Yi glanced at the pale Gu Xiyan in horror, twisted Mrs. Xu's arm fiercely a few times, and said in a hurry: "Madam, Madam..."

The room was full of people, but it was dead silent.

Little by little, the light gathered in Mrs. Xu's eyes, and gradually turned into eyes as bright as sharp knives.

"Clean up for me, I'll go and see Shaoqin!" After finishing speaking, her sharp eyes fell on Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan hadn't recovered from Mrs. Xu's words, her expression was still a little stiff, and she said: "Master is not at home. If mother must go to Songzhen Courtyard, I think it's better to go alone ..." After finishing speaking, she cast a meaningful glance at Nanny Yi.

Mrs. Xu jumped out of the bed with a "thump", she was not at all like an old man over [-] years old, she stretched out her hand and slapped Gu Xiyan's face.

"They can go, but I can't..."

Gu Xiyan had a hunch that the cat was on the cat's body, turned her face sideways, and avoided Mrs. Xu's palm.

Even so, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and stopped until she stretched her waist to the table and had nowhere to retreat.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu still chased after her, but Nanny Yi stopped Mrs. Xu at the right time, and kept saying: "Madam, Madam, please calm down... What Young Madam said is also reasonable, you should go and see Yuguan , the eldest young mistress has Nanny Shi and the young madam, it won't be a big deal..." She said, waving her hand.

The maidservants in the house received clear instructions, and rushed forward, some helping Madam Xu to sit down, some serving tea to Madam Xu, and some putting on shoes for Madam Xu.

Mrs. Xu sat on the edge of the kang with a pale face, looking at Gu Xiyan with gloomy eyes.

Gu Xiyan saw someone stop Mrs. Xu, and she was about ten steps away from her, she gradually calmed down.So when Mrs. Xu looked over, Gu Xiyan couldn't help carefully observing Mrs. Xu's expression.

His eyes were cold, with a frosty chill.

Gu Xiyan's heart pounded.

Songzhen Courtyard lived in the Duke of Yan, and Dexin Courtyard lived in the wife of the Duke of Yan. This is the rule passed down from the ancestors. In order to protect himself, Maosheng did not know how hard he worked in secret, and this is how he is today. situation.Therefore, no matter what Madam Xu did, she would never give in on this point.

It seems that a head-on conflict is unavoidable!
That being the case, it is better to strike first.

While thinking about it, Gu Xiyan took a few steps forward, and was about to speak, but suddenly found that Mrs. Xu's eyes still stopped at her original position.

Her heart moved, and she followed that gaze.

It turned out that next to the coffee table that stretched my waist, there was a bogus shelf, on which were placed large and small jade, stone, and wood sculptures, the most striking of which was a jade hibiscus about two feet tall. The bonsai, with its pink petals and jasper leaves, glows brightly and is extremely gorgeous.

Are you looking at something from Bogujia?

Gu Xiyan moved her footsteps again.

Mrs. Xu's gaze was still fixed.

It seems that he is really looking at the things on the shelf.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help turning her head curiously, wondering what Madam Xu was looking at.Who knows, Nanny Yi has already greeted her with an apologetic smile, blocking her gaze: "Young Madam, you know the cause and effect of this. Ma'am, you are confused, please don't go Don't worry. I know that you are kind, and that Jinmao is a lesson from the past... Madam didn't want to understand and let you be wronged. I am here to accompany the young Madam on behalf of Madam!" Then she knelt down To kowtow to Gu Xiyan.

"Grandma, get up!" Gu Xiyan hurriedly helped Madam Yi, "It made mother angry. Speaking of which, it's all my fault. Madam's behavior really upsets me."

Mother Yi was not as respectful to Gu Xiyan as she said in her words, she stood up and said with a smile: "In this case, the young lady should go back to the Liyuan as soon as possible! For the eldest young lady, I hope the young lady can enlighten me carefully." No matter what, she came from Xizhao after all, and there are many places in Yandi that rely on Xizhao..."

Gu Xiyan listened to Nanny Yi's nagging with a gentle expression, then bowed her knees to Mrs. Xu and brought Cuiyu and the others back to the Liyuan.

In the troupe garden, Fang Shaoqin had finished grooming, and was lying on the big couch in Zhuji Pavilion. Yunshang and Yanhong were kneeling behind her, wringing her hair dry with towels.

Seeing Gu Xiyan, she smiled and said, "I'm back!"

Gu Xiyan didn't want to say some hypocritical entertainment with her, so she nodded and said, "I made spring pancakes in the small kitchen, why don't you eat some!"

Fang Shaoqin laughed loudly: "Yes, I can't live because of this!"

The smile is so bright, the eyes are so sad, like the flowers in early spring, although they try their best to bloom, they can't match the cold spring that comes in a blink of an eye.

Shaoqin, you must have worked hard!

Gu Xiyan sighed, and asked someone to bring it to the kang table.

Fang Shaoqin ate with big mouthfuls, and said with a smile, "Auntie, you cooked oyster porridge for me once, and you wanted to scare me away!"

Facing such a smart and smart woman, Gu Xiyan smiled freely: "Yes! I'm afraid that if I have feelings for you, one day, I won't be able to bear to make a decision..."

Fang Shaoqin added the sweet noodle sauce on his fingers: "I'm in Liangdi, and I've eaten roasted scorpions... oyster porridge, what the hell... Auntie, do you know why I like you..."

Gu Xiyan raised her eyebrows.

Fang Shaoqin looked at her quietly: "Because you always smile!"

"Oh!" Gu Xiyan looked at her with a smile.

"No matter what the situation is, no matter when it is, you always smile!" Fang Shaoqin smiled bitterly, "When we talked about poetry and painting, when Hongluan stained your clothes, when Zhenniang provoked you , when I peep at you... no matter what time, you always smile, as if all of these are just the wind passing by your ears, are just the light and shadow shining on you, you can always find something worthy of your appreciation place, and then look at it with a tolerant attitude... I can always feel the comfort of ironing on you."

What kind of feeling is it to see the deepest self hidden in the bottom of my heart through those mottled lights and shadows.

Gu Xiyan was terrified for a moment.

Looking at Gu Xiyan's somewhat stiff smile, Fang Shaoqin let out a "puchi" laugh: "Just kidding you! I, because I am a junior, can come to my aunt to act like a baby..."

Gu Xiyan watched with sad eyes: "Shaoqin, has the game started?"

Fang Shaoqin was slightly taken aback.

"Has the game between us started?" Gu Xiyan looked at Fang Shaoqin's slender eyebrows, straight and pretty nose, and murmured, "Our friendship disappeared so quickly..."
