Chapter 171: Nosy

Gu Huayu raised her head and looked at the tall and majestic vermilion door, with the dazzling gilt characters... "Get out of the way, out of the way."

The side door next to the main gate of Hua Mansion was wide open, and a group of subordinates came out and lined up on both sides. Some of the subordinates stepped forward to clean up passers-by and clear the way for them.

 Gu Huayu was pushed to the side of the road together with the passers-by.

Gu Huayu curiously asked a woman beside her, "What are you doing?"

The woman turned to look at her, pulled her sleeves with her hands, and lowered her voice and said, "Girl, be quieter, lower your head, and don't make any noise."

Gu Huayu lowered her head and asked softly: "What's wrong? Why do you lower your head?"

The woman looked up secretly and quickly lowered her head. "The wife of Huafu is traveling. If a beautiful girl like you is seen by her, she will be in bad luck."

 The woman reminded her kindly.

 “Oh? Why?” Gu Huayu became even more curious.

The woman glanced left and right, leaned closer to Gu Huayu, and said, "It is said that the leader of the Hua Mansion likes beautiful women, but his wife is average-looking..."

Gu Huayu nodded clearly, "Oh, I understand, Madam is jealous!"

 The woman nodded and reminded, "Girl, please keep your voice down."

Gu Huayu asked: "Isn't the Commander dead? Madam is still jealous?"

The woman hurriedly took Gu Huayu's hand and looked around in panic, "Girl, don't talk nonsense, be careful of getting into trouble. The one who died was the previous commander, and the current commander is the son of the old commander."

Gu Huayu nodded clearly, "Oh, so that's it. Does Madam Lu of Hua Mansion always travel in such a big way?"

The woman raised her head and sighed, "No, looking at the guards heading towards Yulan Lane to clean up people, I'm afraid the girl from the Chen family is going to suffer again."

"Oh? Miss Chen? Why do you have to suffer?" Gu Huayu asked in line with the principle of asking if you don't understand.

The woman was also enthusiastic and explained very patiently: "The Chen family girl is the daughter of the old commander's staff. She had always been interested in the young commander. The old commander also wanted the young commander to marry Miss Chen.

 It is said that the old lady in the mansion disliked Miss Chen's low birth status and did not agree to the marriage.

Later, the old commander died, and so did the staff member.

The old lady of the Hua Mansion took advantage of her warm filial piety to let her son marry a girl from the British government, who is now Mrs. Lu.

After Mrs. Lu learned that Miss Chen’s intentions were to guide you, she would come to your door every now and then to cause trouble for Miss Chen.

Speaking of which, Miss Chen is also pitiful. After her father died, her mother fell ill and was bedridden. She went everywhere to seek medical advice and sold all her family property. Unfortunately, she couldn't save her mother's life even though she had dissipated all her property. Life.

Years ago, Miss Chen’s mother also went there. "

Hearing this, Gu Huayu's heart fluctuated.

 She is a person who has a clear sense of grudges and grievances, and at the same time, she is a person who is full of sympathy. She hates bullying others.

The sound of neat footsteps came, and the woman hurriedly pushed Gu Huayu's head down, nervously reminding her: "Girl, lower your head, don't look around."

Gu Huayu couldn't help but let the woman hold her head.

 Gu Huayu listened to the footsteps coming from far to near, then from near to far, until the woman let go of her head, and then she raised her head.

Looking at a group of guardsmen escorting a sedan towards Magnolia Alley.

Gu Huayu thanked the woman for her blessing. "Thank you, sister-in-law, thank you."

The woman smiled and shook her head, "You're welcome. I spent my day on this street buying some headband designs and so on, so I know more about things here."

At this moment, Gu Huayu discovered that the woman was carrying a cloth bag with various colored hair ropes and strings hanging on it.

Gu Huayu chose two hair ropes and said to the woman, "I want this."

The woman smiled and said, "Okay, I'll get it for you right now."

 The woman took off the headband and handed it to Gu Huayu, "Girl, you put it away."

Gu Huayu took out a silver lock from her purse and handed it to the woman.

The woman waved her hands repeatedly and said: "Girl, we run a small business, and we can't find such a big money."

Gu Huayu put the silver lock into the woman's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, just take it, there's no need to look for it."

The woman bowed to Gu Huayu in surprise and thanked her, "Thank you very much, girl. She is a good person."

Gu Huayu waved to the woman with her headband, "I'm leaving."

Farewell to the woman, Gu Huayu walked forward to Yulan Lane.

In Gu Huayu's view, Chen Song was at fault, but his daughter did nothing wrong and was not at fault.

Mrs. Lu can't control her husband and vents her grievances on unrelated people, which is unreasonable.

Gu Huayu walked into Yulan Lane. From a distance, she saw that the door of Chen's Mansion was filled with Hua's retinue. Pedestrians who passed by did not dare to approach. They only stood on tiptoe across the street and looked into Chen's Mansion.

Gu Huayu walked to the door of the shop opposite Chen Mansion. Like everyone else, she stood on tiptoe and looked across. As she looked, she asked, "What's wrong with this shop? Why are there so many people at the door?"

An old man sighed and said: "Miss Xue'er of the Chen family has done something wrong. We used to be such a good family. After the death of her parents, what kind of life did Miss Xue'er live? Every three days, Mrs. Hua's wife came to her door to beat her."

Gu Huayu asked: "Why did Madam Hua's family beat her? What did she do wrong?"

The old man glanced at Gu Huayu and snorted coldly: "If a rich man wants to take it out on you, do you need a reason?"

"There is no place for reason in this world? Why doesn't Miss Chen go to the Yamen to sue her?" Gu Huayu asked.

The old man sneered, "Where can we be reasonable? Where can we be reasonable about this kind of thing?"

  Alas, you are a girl, I can’t even explain it to you.

Little girl, if you are not planning to get married, you must not have a crush on anyone. Even if you have a crush on someone, you should keep it in your heart and not let others know.

 Otherwise, if a girl like the Chen family has a bad reputation, she will be pitiful and it will be difficult to get married in this life. "

The old man sneered, and then sighed to Gu Huayu.

 “Boom”, the sound came from the courtyard.

 “The fight started, the fight started.”

The man in green clothes next door stood on the counter, standing on tiptoe, looking and talking.

 The people below looked at the man in green and asked, "Who is fighting with whom? Miss Xue'er and the wife of Huafu?"

"No, Miss Xue'er was beaten by Mrs. Huafu's retinue, and Miss Chen fought back."

 “Can Miss Chen be beaten?”

"How can we win with so many retinues? It's hard to beat them with both hands. Even if Miss Chen knows some kung fu, it's hard to beat her, right?"

“Hey, Miss Xueer is such a good person, reasonable, kind and sensible, how could such a thing happen to her?”

"Miss Xue'er knocked down two of them. It was no longer possible. A group of subordinates rushed up. Miss Xue'er was afraid that she would suffer a loss." The man in Tsing Yi explained nervously.

Gu Huayu lowered her head and saw some pebbles on the ground. She bent down and grabbed a handful, pinched them in her hand, and then threw them towards the retinue at the door.

The guard at the door was hit by a stone. He turned around in pain and yelled, "Who is it?" There was chaos outside the house.

He looked around nervously without being hit. He shouted: "Who?"

Gu Huayu squeezed to the counter, reached out and smeared the ink on her face, and then shouted loudly: "The wife of Huafu is shameless, she can't control her **** husband, she comes here to look for innocent people Take it out. The British government is shameless and has taught such shameless women."

 When Gu Huayu's words came out, there was an uproar.

 The people scattered in all directions like birds and animals. Gu Huayu stood on the spot and raised his voice and called twice more.

Mrs. Lu in the courtyard shouted angrily: "Whoever is talking nonsense outside, catch me and beat him hard."

The retinues chased after her, and Gu Huayu ran while shouting, "Mrs. Lu is shameless, the best in the world is shameless, the British government is shameless, and those who have advantages and deceive others are shameless."

Seeing that the retinue was about to catch up, Gu Huayu threw the stone over and the retinue who was running in front fell down, tripped and ran behind.

Gu Huayu stopped to take a breath and continued to shout: "Mrs. Lu from Huafu wants to be shameless, can't control her husband, and takes out her anger on innocent people. The British government is shameless and teaches shameless women."

Pedestrians on the street stopped to look this way, and people in the shop stopped what they were doing and walked out of the shop. Looking at Gu Huayu curiously, "Who is this girl? She is too brave."

The retinue got up and chased again, and Gu Huayu ran again. After knocking down all the retinues one after another, Gu Huayu saw that the trouble was almost over, turned around and ran into an alley, running straight forward.

Gu Huayu didn't know where she was ahead, she just wanted to get rid of the chasing followers behind her.

Gu Huayu ran forward in a zigzag manner and ran to a quiet alley. She looked around and saw that there was no one in the alley. She raised her hand and squeezed Qingfeng, then entered the space.

Gu Huayu washed her face in the space, changed her clothes, and then came out of the space.

Gu Huayu returned along the original road and went to West Street, just in time to see Mrs. Lu's ceremonial guard returning home.

  Without the previous majesty, each one of them limped back like a defeated army.

 “Faster, faster.”

As the sedan passed by, Gu Huayu heard Mrs. Lu's furious urging.

Gu Huayu watched Mrs. Lu's honor guard enter Hua Mansion, then turned back to Yulan Lane. Many people gathered at the door of Chen Mansion.

Gu Huayu squeezed in and looked through the gap between the people, and saw the maid bandaging Chen Xue on the chair.

Gu Huayu squeezed into the courtyard, closed the door behind her, and said, "Don't look at it, let's go."

  The onlookers dispersed, and Gu Huayu walked towards the courtyard.

Chen Xue looked at Gu Huayu, who met Chen Xue's gaze and smiled at her.

 Chen Xue moved the corners of her mouth and said to the maid: "Liu'er, bring this girl a chair."

Liu'er put down what he was holding and turned around to enter the house.

Chen Xue asked: "Were you helping me outside just now?"

Gu Huayu smiled but did not answer.

 Chen Xue saw that Gu Hua didn't answer, so she said, "Thank you very much."

After a while, Liu'er came out with a bamboo chair and said, "Girl, please take a seat."

 Gu Huayu took the chair and sat down opposite Chen Xue.

Liu'er served tea to Gu Huayu, and then treated Chen Xue's injuries.

Gu Huayu took a sip of tea from the cup and said, "The little girl's technique is good. It seems that things like this happen often nowadays."

Chen Xue smiled bitterly and said, "Liu'er's skills are so good. What's your surname? I see you are a bit unfamiliar, you are not from around here, are you?"

Gu Huayu said: "I'm bored today. I went out for a walk and came here, so I watched the excitement."

Chen Xue nodded and said: "Girl, please leave after drinking tea."

Gu Huayu did not move, holding the cup in her hand and continuing to drink tea.

Liu'er stopped what he was doing, turned to Gu Hua and said, "It's for the girl's own good that the young lady asked the girl to leave. Please leave quickly, lest she won't be able to escape for a while."

Just when Gu Huayu was about to ask why, there was a sound of footsteps at the door. After a while, the courtyard door was violently pushed open, and a group of retinues dressed as before came in.

Liu'er sighed and said, "Oh, the old lady is here. Now, the girl can't leave even if she wants to."

Gu Huayu asked: "Who is the old lady?"

Liu'er whispered back: "Liu, Commander Hua's mother."

Chen Xue stood up and ordered: "Liu'er, take the girl into the house to take shelter."

Liu'er said to Gu Huayu, "Girl, please come with me."

Gu Huayu said: "It's okay, I'm right here."

Chen Xue wanted to say something else, but it was too late. Mrs. Liu stepped into the yard, walked up to Chen Xue in a menacing manner, raised her hand and slapped Chen Xue.

Seeing that Chen Xue was not hiding, Gu Huayu stretched out her hand to pull her away from Liu's clutches. Then he cursed: "Are you a pig? Let her beat you?"

Only then did Mrs. Liu discover Gu Huayu's presence. She turned to look at Gu Huayu and asked sharply: "Where did this wild girl come from?"

Chen Xue was afraid that Mrs. Liu would be angry and Gu Huayu said quickly: "Old lady, calm down, she is just a passerby, coming in to ask for a drink of water..."

Before Chen Xue could finish speaking, Gu Huayu turned around and said, "Shut up!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Huayu looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Where did you come from, a bandit woman? In broad daylight, you rush into people's houses without asking, beating and scolding them. Do you still follow the king's laws?"

Liu Shi sneered, "What a joke. I discipline my own slaves, what's wrong with you? Come here, drag this little **** back."

Gu Huayu protected Chen Xue behind her, pointed her cup at her subordinates and said, "If you don't want to live anymore, just come up." As she said that, Gu Huayu raised her leg and kicked, and the bamboo chair immediately flew to the wall, and scattered with a "pop" sound. Got a fight.

When the subordinates looked at it, their hearts tightened and they shrank back.

 They are not the guards who follow the leader, and they do not know Kung Fu.

Liu's eyes darkened and she asked, "It seems like the girl wants to meddle in other people's business?"

Gu Huayu raised her chin and said, "When the road is rough, draw your sword to help. Do you have any questions?"

Liu asked with a stern face, "Don't you ask me who I am?"

Gu Huayu replied expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter who you are, what's important is that you must be reasonable. If everyone under the emperor's feet is as willful as you, will the common people still have a good life?"

Mrs. Liu said coldly: "I said, this is a household matter in my Hua Mansion. I discipline the servants and ask the girl to get out of the way."

Gu Huayu looked around and said, "Your servants live in the third courtyard? Is the treatment better?"

You keep saying that you are a domestic servant, but what about the physical deed? Take it out and take a look. If you can't get the birth certificate, I'll take her to the Yamen to sue you.

Looking at your dress, you look like a person of status, so you are not afraid of making the matter a big deal and becoming the talk of every family in the capital and a joke! "

Liu's face turned blue and white with anger, and she was about to let Chen Xue be dragged away.

Gu Huayu said first: "Don't think about dragging people away just because of the large number of people. I tell you, as long as I'm here, you can't do it today. There are only a few of you, and there's nothing you can do to me. Unless, let your Xuan Qing The security guard is here."
