Empress has purpose

Chapter 36 Talk
"Cousin, wait a little longer. If you're bluffing like this, don't lose your identity when you're away from home."

Hearing this rather familiar voice, Gu Yunxi couldn't help frowning.

Is this a narrow road for enemies?
Gu Yunxi thought about it, and couldn't help laughing, Qin Silan looked at her with a puzzled face: "Yunxi, what are you laughing at?"

Gu Yunxi quietly "hushed", motioned Qin Silan to whisper, pointed to the outside, and silently uttered three words.

There was another voice coming from outside, it was the high-pitched voice at the beginning, and said in a somewhat embarrassing way: "What my cousin said is true, I will pay attention."

Then came the sound of footsteps, as if they sat down next to Gu Yunxi and the others.

Not long after, I heard the voice again: "It is indeed a good place."

The voice of the speaker this time was a little faint, making it hard to hear the emotion.

Qin Silan raised her eyebrows, and the two quietly drank tea and ate snacks. Gu Yunxi flipped through the books she had brought, and found that there was a rare chess record that she had been searching for for a long time.

Gu Yunxi's eyes lit up, and she looked at it seriously, and she didn't care about the few people who just came in outside, so far she didn't want to see them.

I was watching with relish, when I heard voices coming from behind, the voice was shrill, making people feel uncomfortable, it was the female voice who spoke first: "Cousin, I heard that my aunt is ill, but it's urgent ?”

Then he heard a soft sigh, and said helplessly: "Mother has been ill for a long time, since I came back from Jizhou, she hasn't recovered, and now she is bedridden with anger, without any signs of improvement."

The still faint voice sounded: "Yunwan, I just wanted to ask you just now, my aunt is ill, you asked us out at this time, but what's the matter?"

"Eldest cousin, it's because of my mother's troubles that I thought of asking the two cousins ​​to accompany me out to relax and give me advice."

It was Gu Yunwan and her two cousins ​​who came here. One was Zhao Shuxiu, who had been sent to Yong'an Hou's mansion by the Meng family before, and the other was Meng Zhixin, the eldest daughter of Yong'an Hou Meng Yonglian, who was sixteen years old. A well-known talented woman in Beijing, but she is somewhat aloof.

"Cousin, you said that your aunt was ill because of your third sister, right?" Zhao Shuxiu's high-pitched voice came over with full penetration.

Gu Yunxi raised her eyebrows, and then paused for a moment while turning the pages of the book. She looked up at Qin Silan, and found that she was also looking up at herself. The two of them pursed their lips together and listened patiently.

Gu Yunxi found that she seemed to be doing this kind of eavesdropping a lot recently.

For some reason, Feng Changhao's figure appeared again in his mind, is he doing well in the palace?It might not be so easy to stop the treacherous and cunning Feng Ziyu.

"How did cousin know?" Gu Yunwan's voice was obviously surprised, as if Zhao Shuxiu knew how shocked she was by knowing this.

Gu Yunxi sneered, Zhao Shuxiu left Gu's house for some reason, I'm afraid Meng Shi would have told her the day Gu Yunwan came back, but now she is acting like this again, she wants to see what Gu Yunwan is going to do.

"Does it need to be said, your third sister is vitriolic at first glance. A few days ago, I was a guest in your house and wanted to see her, but she sent someone to block me outside the courtyard. Let those maidservants ridicule me. Later, I couldn't get over my anger. In my aunt's courtyard, she came to pay her respects, and she even showed her airs of the county lord, and satirized my aunt and me. That day My aunt was so angry that she still didn't have an attack, so she had no choice but to send me to my cousin's mansion, so I think, if anyone in this Gu mansion has the ability to make my aunt angry, she is probably the only one Gu Yunxi!" Zhao Shuxiu These words were full of anger at Meng's being angry and dissatisfied with Gu Yunxi.

Meng Zhixin in the compartment behind her looked at the angry Zhao Shuxiu, and sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on the surface.

As the eldest daughter of Marquis Yong'an, Meng Zhixin actually disdains Zhao Shuxiu, an incomprehensible cousin. In addition, Zhao Shuxiu's usual style of handling things in the mansion does not have the self-consciousness that she should have as a guest at all, which makes her feel even worse. do not like.

Now that she heard Zhao Shuxiu talk about the things in the Gu Mansion, she was a little disapproving. Just based on Zhao Shuxiu's demeanor in the Meng Mansion, she could imagine what she was like in the Gu Mansion.

I'm afraid only the person involved will know who is right, but since the matter concerns Gu Yunwan's mother, her aunt, Meng Zhixin will never speak for Gu Yunxi, who has never been masked.

"Cousin, if this is the case, you should try to persuade aunt, this body is your own, aunt is always like this, are you afraid that others will take advantage of it?"

Gu Yunwan glanced at Meng Zhixin, with a sad expression on her face, and said: "Big cousin, Yunwan has persuaded mother several times, and also tried to find several soups for mother to take, hoping to make mother recover soon, but It always doesn’t work. Now my grandmother has taken back the right to head the family in the mansion, and handed it over to my third sister and eldest sister. Since I came back late, it’s too late for me to do anything. I can only leave them alone, during this period of time, my third sister went out to the Princess's mansion and has not come back, so I have the opportunity to go out and catch up with my two cousins."

Meng Zhixin was surprised: "Why, the power of the family is not in the hands of my aunt?"

This really surprised her. Her aunt Meng Jiao, after all, came from the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and she is also the sister of her own father's direct relative. She is not the only one who has lost her status in the Prime Minister's Mansion. People's face, this is related to the majesty of Yong'an Hou Mansion!
Meng Zhixin is proud and intelligent. Her first reaction when she heard this was to interrupt the conversation. Some things can be said outside, but some things should never be known to outsiders.

They don't know if there is anyone in the other cubicles on the third floor, so she made a quick decision and stopped Gu Yunwan from continuing to speak.

Gu Yunwan glanced at Meng Zhixin suspiciously, and soon realized what Meng Zhixin meant, so she obediently shut her mouth and cleverly changed another topic.

Gu Yunxi and Qin Silan showed regretful expressions on their faces. They thought they could hear something important, but who would have thought that Gu Yunwan would suddenly change the subject.

At this time, footsteps came again, and then the curtain between Gu Yunxi and Qin Silan was lifted.

Gu Yunxi and Qin Silan looked up, and before they could stop them, Shen Man said with a smile: "Yunxi, Silan, I said why I couldn't find you, so I came here to sneak away. "

Gu Yunxi and Qin Silan looked at each other, thinking, it's over, is this eavesdropping discovered?

Because they could clearly hear that the moment Shen Man spoke, the voices in the compartment behind him stopped abruptly.
