Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 32
Furong Courtyard is one of the best back houses of the Gu Mansion. Its layout and scenery in the courtyard are all carefully planned. From this, it can be seen how much love and affection Gu Yanxi has received in the Gu Mansion.

Gu Shen stood in the flower hall with his hands behind his back, looking at the tables and chairs in the flower hall with a calm face, when no one noticed, the corner of his mouth subtly curled into a sneer.

It is indeed the most favored third girl in the Gu family. Even the picture of autumn mountains and mountains hanging casually in the flower hall was written by Master Wu Quanzi; such a picture hanging casually is treasured in his study It can't be compared with any of his looks; it seems that his elder brother really loves his little girl to the extreme.

However, this way of loving others deeply hurt his eyes.

Over the years, how could he not know what the servants in the mansion were talking about him behind his back, how could he not hear the people in the capital mocking him in private, even his father hated him when he faced him The appearance of steel; every time he thinks of this, he must use all his concentration to control himself. Only by doing this can he suppress the raging anger in his heart.

Over the years, he has tried his best to leave the world with his incompetent side, so that one day in the future, he will be a blockbuster, so that those who have looked down on him, ridiculed him, or even bullied him will all regret what they did back then. Treat him like that.

So, for so many years, no matter how much ridicule he has endured, he still seems to be unable to understand it, for the big plan that will finally come one day; it's just that his plan has changed now because of that idiot Jiang Qin .

Thinking of the way Gu Jin looked at him, he was still a little nervous. His eldest brother was not in vain because of his father's respect for him. His experience in the officialdom and wisdom in life made him an existence not to be underestimated. , it seems that in the next period of time, if he wants to dispel the attention of his elder brother, he must be more cautious than before.

Jiang Qin got into such a big disaster, whether she lives or dies doesn't matter much to him, such an extremely stupid woman, he doesn't want her to stay by his side to carry on his plans.

It's just that she dragged his only son down. He always cherished Gu Yanxuan, and he would never stand by and watch his son pay for Jiang Qin's stupidity.

So, after thinking about it for a while, he took the initiative to come to Gu Yanxi, in order to hope that this little girl could say something nice to his simple and honest son in front of his elder brother and father; in the Gu residence, he never underestimated Gu Yanxi In the heart of father and elder brother, only that idiot Jiang Qin dared to really hurt the little ancestor of the Gu family.

When Gu Yanxi changed into a simple and generous skirt and appeared in the flower hall, what she saw was her "worthless" second uncle standing in the middle of the flower hall with his back to her, with his head slightly raised, as if he was concentrating on admiring A picture of the mountains hanging on the wall.

If it was in the past, she would have secretly laughed at her second uncle in her heart for pretending to understand. Even if the map of autumn mountains drawn by Master Wu Quanzi was sold in the market, it would still be worth a lot of money; Paintings have always had a profound artistic conception, and only those who really understand painting can appreciate the true meaning in them. At the beginning, she was also under the guidance of her father to truly understand the true meaning of this autumn mountain picture.

How could someone like her second uncle, who only knows how to tease cats and dogs and sleep in the oiran's boudoir, understand Wu Quanzi's paintings?

However, after experiencing so many changes, Gu Yanxi will not judge others easily; especially her second uncle, he will definitely not be a simple person.

So, seeing Gu Shen admiring Wu Quanzi's painting with his back turned to her, Gu Yanxi walked towards the flower hall, and said charmingly, "Does Second Uncle also like this picture of autumn mountains and mountains? I heard from my father that he said, Although Wu Quanzi named this painting Mountain View, in fact what he wanted to paint was not the scenery full of mountains, but what he was really painting was the thatched cottage in the Mountain View; Every painting likes to play tricks, and I am afraid that only people who understand painting like my father and second uncle can understand the true meaning of this painting."

Hearing Gu Yanxi's tender and soft voice, Gu Shen's drifting thoughts were immediately guarded.

He immediately put away the gloomy and deep expression on his face, and when he turned around, he immediately showed Gu Yanxi a friendly smile that was the same as in the past, "Jiaojiao is really joking, you still don't know your second uncle and me How capable is it? If you ask me how big a cricket can win a fight, what kind of bird sings the best, my second uncle can tell you; only this painting by Wu Quanzi, I don’t care I don’t understand anything, if you hadn’t told me that what he really wanted to paint was the thatched cottage in the painting, I’m afraid I’m still feeling that Master Wu Quanzi still has a lot of experience in painting fruit trees.”

Looking at the sincere smile on Gu Shen's face, Gu Yanxi also pretended to be amused by his words. Sure enough, her second uncle really didn't admit that he could understand this painting. It seems that he is really unfathomable; no wonder in his previous life, Even his father and grandfather were deceived by the incompetence he displayed.

Seeing the servant girl in the yard serving fragrant tea, Gu Yanxi took a sip from the teacup and said, "Second Uncle came to see me today, what is it for?"

Looking at the calm girl in front of him, Gu Shen keenly noticed that she seemed a little different from before, and he couldn't tell what was different.

Thinking of the purpose of coming here today, Gu Shen didn't say much, and said directly: "Jiaojiao, I already know what your second aunt has done to you over the years, she was a little tolerant when she was young, I didn't expect that the older I get, the more I can't tolerate people, and I even speculate about some unreasonable things because of my own suspicion."

Gu Yanxi knew that the "unnecessary incident" that Gu Shen said referred to the incident that Jiang said he admired her mother. Thinking of this incident, Gu Yanxi's mood was like swallowing a fly. His smile also faded a bit.

Gu Shen continued: "Your second aunt is narrow-minded, treacherous and cruel. Even if she is kicked out of Gu's house in the future, she will be responsible for it; but your elder brother Xuan was implicated by her for no reason. I have confirmed that all of this is your fault. Second Aunt made evil results, your brother Xuan stood up to take the blame for him because he wanted to protect her. Jiaojiao, your brother Xuan is innocent, he can't just be implicated by your second aunt like this."

Gu Yanxi understood the meaning of Gu Shen's words, "Second Uncle wants me to go to my father and grandfather to intercede for Brother Xuan?"

Gu Shen was overjoyed, and said: "That's right, Jiaojiao, Second Uncle knows that you have been greatly wronged in this whole matter, and asking you to intercede at this time is really wronging you; but Second Uncle can't do anything about it." Oh, your elder brother Xuan has loved you very much since he was a child, and you don't want to see him being implicated by his vicious biological mother and kicked out of the house from now on."

Gu Yanxi put down the teacup in her hand, and her slender eyelashes covered the emotions in her eyes. At this moment, she looked as exquisite as a snow-white jade girl, but the sense of distance emanating from her made anyone feel uncomfortable. Couldn't get close to her easily.

Looking at Gu Yanxi like this, Gu Shen subconsciously closed his eyes; it seems that his previous feeling was not an illusion, his little niece really had a weird look all over her body.

Gu Yanxi didn't answer him immediately, but asked, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt has given birth to children for you all these years, and has treated you sincerely. Now that she has made such a big mistake, do you have any respect for her?" Heart to save?"

Gu Shen was taken aback for a moment, obviously he did not expect that Gu Yanxi would ask him such a question.

In his heart, he almost no longer regards Jiang as his wife. To be exact, from the moment he decided to marry her as his wife, he just used her as a pawn from the beginning to the end; he was not reconciled He has been living under the influence of his elder brother, eager to prove to the world that his ability is not inferior to Gu Jin.

It's just that, since he was a child, he has been treated too much. Everyone takes him for granted that he is a waste. In order to cater to everyone's eyes, he will let himself marry Jiang Qin, who is easy to control and has a low status; Thinking, as long as she is obedient, when he gets ahead in the future, he will definitely give her the dignity she deserves.

But he didn't expect that she would do so many stupid things, so naturally he wouldn't have any nostalgia for this stupid woman.

It's just that now that he heard Gu Yanxi asking this question, he couldn't answer her like this.

Instead, he changed his previous urgent expression, showing a heartbroken look, and said to Gu Yanxi: "Jiaojiao, you have also seen that your second aunt has done too many wrong things, even if I want to help her save her, There is also no way to start; right now, I can only do my best to keep your elder brother Xuan. As for your second aunt, for the sake of the relationship between husband and wife for many years, I will beg my father and elder brother not to send her to the government; There are many Zhuangzi, I will send her there to give her a stable life, which can be regarded as the end of our husband and wife relationship for many years."

Hearing what Gu Shen said, Gu Yanxi couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

Only now did she realize that her second uncle was actually such a cruel person.

Sending the Jiang family to the Zhuangzi is to put it bluntly, to give her a place to stay after being kicked out of the Gu family, but in fact, it is equivalent to abandoning her, and letting her be imprisoned in the Zhuangzi for the rest of her life, leaving her to fend for herself.

Seeing these things Gu Shen did to the Jiang family, Gu Yanxi had a sarcastic smile on his lips.

Right now, she was even more sure that her grandfather's death was probably related to her good second uncle. He was ruthless even towards the people next to him. How could he not treat his grandfather?
The hands under the sleeves slowly tightened, Gu Yanxi raised her head to look at her good second uncle, and under his expectant eyes, agreed to him: "Don't worry, second uncle, I will definitely intercede like grandfather and persuade father not to Punishment and Brother Xuan."

After getting the answer he wanted, Gu Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Yanxi looked at Gu Shen's relaxed expression, but there was mist in his eyes, and his clear pupils looked faintly at the man in front of him who seemed harmless but actually hid countless secrets.
