Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 33

After Gu Shen was satisfied and left with the answer he wanted, Zhuang Li quietly appeared beside Gu Yanxi.

"I really didn't expect that this second master is such a smart person. Knowing that at this time, begging anyone in the mansion to save Gu Yanxuan is not as good as begging the girl; this move of the second master is really wonderful."

Hearing Zhuang Li's evaluation of Gu Shen, Gu Yanxi snorted, "He has always been a very smart person, but we all underestimated him before."

Zhuang Li turned her head to look at Gu Yanxi, with a look of astonishment on her face: "The girl means that the second master is hiding something from us? How is this possible? Why did he do this?"

"Yeah, why did he do that." Gu Yanxi muttered to himself, as if speaking to himself, or to Zhuang Li, "As the second son of the grand master of the dynasty, there is a powerful His father, and an elder brother who always protects him no matter what he does, even if he does nothing in this life, he will not be short of his glory and wealth; all the relatives around him treat him sincerely, what else can he do? satisfy?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yanxi looked up at Zhuang Li in puzzlement, and asked him: "Zhuang Li, what do men like you most desire to pursue in life? Beauty? Wealth? Or power?"

Zhuang Li carefully considered the words of the third girl, thought for a moment, and answered her: "This question requires different opinions. Some people are obsessed with beauty, and some are obsessed with power. Everyone has different ideas and desires are naturally different."

"What about you, Zhuang Li? What are you obsessed with?"

Zhuang Li said: "This subordinate has lived in Gu's mansion since he was a child, and has been with the second young master since he was a child. Both the young master and the girl are very kind to this subordinate. In fact, this subordinate has nothing to be attached to; but after going through the second lady's After this incident, the subordinates suddenly had something to be persistent about.”

"Oh? What is it?"

Zhuang Li smiled brightly, with kind warmth showing on her delicate face, "I hope that the girl can stay away from all dangers, and live a peaceful and happy life forever."

Hearing Zhuang Li's answer, Gu Yanxi was a little surprised, but it was also expected.

When others say this, she may think that they are flattering her and coaxing her to play, but she believes what Zhuang Li said; because in her previous life, Zhuang Li was killed in order to save her elder brother on the battlefield. She was shot to death by random arrows; she has never doubted Zhuang Li's loyalty and sincerity since her rebirth.

Facing the expectations right now, Gu Yanxi smiled knowingly, and answered him: "Okay, I will definitely let him realize your persistence."

Looking at the charming and charming girl, Zhuang Li's heart was about to soften.

Although following the girl for the past two days, the girl made him do many unexpected things, but now, looking at the girl's bright little face, he told himself that even if the girl asked him to do those things in the future, as long as he If he can protect the girl, he is willing to do anything.

"Zhuang Li, I have one more thing to trouble you right now."

Zhuang Li immediately took half a step back, clasped her fists with both hands, and said respectfully, "Miss, please tell me."

Gu Yanxi looked at Gu Shen's immediate direction. Although the figure of that person had long since disappeared there, she completely put his back into her eyes, and said coldly: "Next, I want you to keep an eye on Second Uncle. I want to know his every move and every detail, even if he went to the flower building to sleep with which oiran tomorrow night, and which local ruffian he said a few words on the way, I should know exactly what he said .”

Zhuang Li could hear the seriousness in Gu Yanxi's tone, and her face was puzzled: "Girl, are you sure you want your subordinates to stare at the second master like this? As far as the subordinates know, the second master seems to be unaware of the second lady's affairs. "

Gu Yanxi knew that Zhuang Li had misunderstood her meaning, and thought she was angry with Gu Shen because of the Jiang family; how could Zhuang Li know that compared to her good second uncle, a little guy like the Jiang family is nothing at all .

It's just that the facts made by the second uncle in the previous life are hard to believe. If she impulsively tells the people around her at this time, Gu Shen has always been deceiving and pretending to be everyone. The real him is no different from the ruthless Jiang family. I'm afraid that as soon as she said these words, everyone thought she was following in Jiang's footsteps and went crazy afterward.

Since she can't tell everyone about Gu Shen's true face right now, she can only send someone to keep an eye on him first, maybe she can detect the clues that he is showing, and then follow the clues and seize the evidence, and then reveal his true face to the public.

It's just that right now, she needs an explanation to give Zhuang Li an explanation.

"Zhuang Li, do you really think that Second Uncle knows nothing about what Second Aunt did?"

Seeing the deep smile on the third girl's face, Zhuang Li was stunned and dared not answer for a long time.

Gu Yanxi said: "No matter how ridiculous Second Uncle is, he is also Second Aunt's husband after all. In Hengguang Courtyard, what does Second Aunt do, how can Second Uncle, as the pillar of the Second Household, not even hear the wind? It's not My villainous heart is not because I am suspicious, but I have always had a very bold assumption in my heart, that is, maybe the second uncle knew from the beginning that the second aunt did not like me, and even this time the second aunt did not like me. If he wanted to do something to me, he knew a little bit; but he didn't stand up to stop him, but let the second aunt continue to mess around. When the matter was revealed and brother Xuan was involved, the second uncle had no choice but to stand up and abandon the second aunt Keep brother Xuan."

"Zhuang Li, didn't you say it yourself just now, my second uncle's move is very delicate, he knows that at this time, it is not as fast as asking father and grandfather to come and tell me, so he directly Appear in front of me, let me plead with grandfather and father, and protect brother Xuan. Do you really think that the person who can think of such a way is incompetent? Or, naively, you think that the second uncle is suddenly blessed Did you even think of this method?"

When Zhuang Li was asked, her face was slightly ugly, "If the second master really knows what the second lady did, then he is really terrible."

"Yeah, before what happened to my second aunt, I always thought that Gu's mansion was very clean and warm. In this house, there would never be those insidious methods that hurt others. Even my handkerchief handkerchiefs envied me." Looking at me, I am afraid that in the huge capital city, only Gu's mansion is the real peace, unlike other family members who always come up with some nasty means to kill people. However, after listening to brother Xuan and second aunt today After those words, I really couldn't help but feel cold, what peace and tranquility? This Gu Mansion has long been full of people's hearts and minds, but the people around us are very smart to hide those ulterior motives. It's all hidden."

Speaking of this, the sarcasm on Gu Yanxi's face became more and more intense, "The deeper you hide, the more ulterior motives; in fact, I never like to pry into other people's secrets, as long as those people's secrets don't hurt my relatives, they will It has nothing to do with me, it's a pity..."

Having said this, Gu Yanxi stopped, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have talked too much unconsciously.

He raised his head and glanced at Zhuang Li who was listening to her intently, "My second uncle is not simple, so you must be careful when you stare at him, and don't be noticed by him."

Zhuang Li felt that the girl now seemed a little strange, her whole body was covered with a layer of silence and desolation, and the delicate temperament that belonged to her seemed to have changed in an instant. The girl just now seemed to have experienced countless Fengshuang, seeing all kinds of things in the world, the delicate and clever between the eyebrows and eyes are all replaced by the unspeakable obscurity and pain.

Such a third girl looks thin and distressed, as if her slender shoulders have already shouldered responsibilities and burdens that many people don't understand. Looking at her like this, one feels sore in the heart.

Zhuang Li didn't say much, she looked at Gu Yanxi's back quietly, and after taking a few deep breaths, the respectful look on her face flowed into her eyes.

Like a promise, he replied to Gu Yanxi's figure: "Don't worry, girl, my subordinates will do their best to share the girl's worries."

That night, after Gu Liang went back to the mansion and heard what happened in the mansion, he immediately lost his temper in the study, called the unlucky second son to his eyes on the spot, and ordered him to write a letter of divorce , and sent Jiang away from the Gu residence.

Facing Mrs. Gu's anger, even Gu Jin didn't dare to speak out. He could only watch Gu Shen write the divorce letter with regret and grief on his face.

Although Old Master Gu hated and hated the vicious and vicious Jiang family, he still valued Gu Yanxuan as a grandson, so when facing Gu Yanxuan's protection, he was not as decisive as he was when he dealt with Jiang family just now, with hesitation on his face.

Gu Jin understood his father's embarrassment, and stood up and said, "Father, Jiaojiao came to me this evening and told me that she didn't complain about that child Yanxuan's concealment back then, and knew that all these things had nothing to do with him. "Father, even Jiaojiao forgave Yanxuan, you should give him another chance."

Thinking of her sensible granddaughter, Gu Liang's heart ached. That child was almost killed when she was two years old, and now she has experienced the vicious thing of being poisoned by her relatives, but she still thinks of helping others at this time. Pleading, how can he not be distressed, how not to be pampered.

Gu Liang understood the meaning of the eldest son's words, looked at the second son who was kneeling on the ground, was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Since even Jiaojiao has expressed love for Yan Xuan, I will naturally not remove him from the clan "It's just that Yanxuan is too confused and lacks experience. Now that he has achieved fame again, he was originally preparing to participate in the Spring Festival, but right now I don't think the Spring Festival is suitable for him."
