Chapter 138 Life is more bloody than a novel
"Hasn't the second sister-in-law investigated?"
"What do you think I can find? It's been so many years. If it was so easy to check, your second brother would have found out long ago.
Gu Ziqing raised his eyes and couldn't help but feel a little sad when he looked at An Yu: "Second sister-in-law, you set me up."
"If not, can you admit that something happened to you back then?"
Gu Ziqing took a deep breath and then sighed silently. Looking at her entangled appearance, An Yu wanted to give up for a moment and not force the poor girl to ask her, but the next moment she resolutely let herself maintain the status quo. If she didn't find the reason, she couldn't help her. She would be like this for the rest of her life. Suffering.
After a while, Gu Ziqing said, "Second sister-in-law, can you talk to another place?"
An Yu immediately nodded: "Of course, but... you have to go out with me, okay?"
"This..."
"Since you choose to tell me, it means that you have figured it out and don't want to continue to live like this, so you have to take the first step, go out of the door first, and then talk about other things!"
Gu Ziqing bit his lip, and finally seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Okay."
So, after Hongxiu came back, the three people asked Gu Bo to prepare a carriage and leave by carriage from the back door. After all... Gu Ziqing took the first step. He couldn't let her jump too much at once and go out directly majestically. He still had to give her a process of acceptance. She could go out in a carriage. Naturally, it is much better for her not to have face-to-face contact with people immediately.
Originally, An Yu wanted the coachman to drive the carriage to the teahouse on the outskirts of the city. By the way, he saw if Lao Leng was there. Later, after thinking about it, although the teahouse was very safe, it was also very noisy and crowded. Gu Ziqing was afraid that he had been alive for so many years, and I'm afraid he would not get used to it.
So I decided to go to Xinghualou. She likes the snacks of Xinghualou very much. In order to satisfy her stomach while listening to the story, An Yu's first choice is this Xinghualou.
After choosing a quiet box, a few dishes of snacks and a pot of fine Mao Jian came to the end. An Yu then asked her, "Tell me, what happened back then?"
Gu Ziqing took several sips of the teacup, and then put it down and held the teacup in her hands. As if she could find some courage, she turned her head and looked out of the window, and her eyes were a little confused: "That year, my embroidery worker had just made a small success, and even her mother praised her. I ran to Fengwu to find Master Xu to help me. Looking at the pattern, Master Xu claimed that my embroidery work was no worse than the embroidery women in the workshop. I was very happy at that time.
"Well, it's really happy that what you like has been affirmed by the master."
"I was also so humane, so I happily jumped a few more pieces of cloth, asked Master Xu to get a few tricks, and then I was ready to go home."
"And then?"
When Gu Ziqing talked about things, he always liked to pause. He heard that An Yu was so entangled and didn't want to interrupt her, but he couldn't help asking.
"Later... my second aunt called me to Phoenix Pavilion for dinner."
"She threatened you?"
Gu Ziqing shook his head: "No, she's just talking about a girl's house. It's not good to come out like this every day. I really like embroidery. Just embroider at home. Don't come to the shop..."
"Are you so honest?"
"Second sister-in-law... There are some things that you don't know when you drink the second brother. Maybe the whole family, as far as I know, I... are very scared."
"Are you afraid of the second room?"
Gu Ziqing squeezed his lips and then said, "Not only me, but also the third brother is afraid. In this family, except for my father and aunt's second brother, who in the Gu family is not afraid of her?"
It can be seen that Gu Ziqing's face was a little helpless and self-deprecating. An Yu intuitively felt that there was something wrong with this matter. Gu Ziqing did not give her the feeling of hiding things. At least, she would not hide things from Gu Qin, Gu Zichen and Gu Ziyi.
There must be other inside stories...
"I know what you're talking about, Ziqing. I hope you understand that since you have decided to talk to me about the pain you have buried in your heart over the years, I'm here to promise you that I will not only keep it secret for you, but I will do my best to help you."
"It doesn't matter whether it's confidential or not. Anyway, the aunt knows about this matter."
"What? Does her mother know?
"The aunt asked me to listen to my second aunt for the time being, and she will make the decision for me."
An Yu felt that this matter was more and more strange. Although she had always had some doubts, Gu Qin's retreat to live in another garden must have her own plans, but she was not sure. After all, her daily life was so monotonous that she almost almost thought that Gu Qin was a woman without any selfish desires. Man, she has completely handed over the matter of taking home delivery to Gu Zichen.
But when she heard Gu Ziqing's words at this moment, An Yu felt that Gu Qin must be planning something, but she didn't tell anyone.
"Wait... Things seem to be a little complicated. I can understand why the second room won't let you continue to go to the shop, learn new tricks, and contact the people in the shop, in order not to want you to be familiar with the things in the shop. From then on, it may become an obstacle for Gu Zijun, but what does this matter to his mother?"
"Second sister-in-law, can you feel the feeling of being persecuted by a close relative in front of you?"
Hearing this, An Yu was stunned in an instant. She looked at Gu Ziqing in disbelief. Gu Ziqing's eyes were still calm and waveless. At this time, there was a shadow of the Gu Qin family. She finally found her own voice and asked, "My dearest person? Do you mean...your mother?"
"When my mother died, everyone thought that I went to the yard with the third brother to play. In fact... It was not me who squatted in the yard with the third brother, but Qin Xin, the eldest maid beside the second brother. Qin Xin has been at Gu's house since childhood. That day, I played hide-and-seek with my second brother, third brother, and Qin Xin. Everyone agreed that everyone agreed I hid in the yard. Later, I discussed with Qin Xin to wear the other party's clothes. Later, I hid in my mother's room and squatted into her suitcase. My mother's clothes were few. I was small and thin when I was a child, so..."
"So no one knows that you hid in the room that day and saw something with your own eyes?"
When An Yu heard this, she couldn't help but feel very bloody, but you have to admit that many times life is more bloody than novels.
Gu Ziqing seemed to have some mood swings, but they were much calmer than at the beginning, as if there was no initial panic. Maybe... The scene of that day had been played back in her memory too many times, so that she was almost gone.
"At that time, the maid beside Fang Ling was still the former maid fairy grass. It was funny. That day, I wore the clothes of Qin Xin, which made everyone think that I was playing in the yard. There was only my mother in the room. On that day, Fang Ling also wore fairy grass clothes, while the fairy grass was dressed in milk. Mother's clothes. Therefore, when Xiancao came in without being notified, my mother was about to scold. As a result, she looked up and saw that it was Fang Ling, but Xiancao stood behind Fang Ling with a frightened face.
"Wait... I suddenly thought of a question. Your second brother told me that his third aunt died shortly after you were born..."
"That's what the Gu family said, because the cause of my mother's death humiliated the Gu family, so that year, the subordinates of the Gu family basically changed thoroughly, and many people got a large amount of family money to settle down and moved out of Changdu."
"You mean... Fang Ling brought the fairy grass that day and brought your mother...?"
"I will never forget that scene in my life. I was only three years old that year. Everyone was thinking, what can a three-year-old child remember? Even my third brother was only four years old, and my second brother was less than five years old that year. We were all children, so my second brother and third brother only remembered that my mother died when we were still very young.
"Ziqing... I've really wronged you these years."
"I remember that I can't forget that scene in my life. My mother knew that I was hiding in the room, because when I went in, she still put me in the box. She looked at me lovingly and then sat there to embroider the upper..."
"As a result, I didn't wait for the second brother to catch me, but waited for the fake fairy grass to bring a bowl of soup medicine. My mother couldn't break free from the two of them alone. The fairy grass suppressed my mother to death, and Fang Ling was pouring medicine. When my mother fell to the ground, they left. My mother looked at me and I looked at her. At that time, she was still Little, I don't know what happened at all. I didn't even cry.
An Yu got up and sat next to Gu Ziqing and took her to his shoulder. After all, Gu Ziqing couldn't stand the pain in his heart and leaned on her shoulder and sobbed. An Yu felt the wetness on her shoulder, but she couldn't say a word of comfort. Even the red sleeves beside her quietly wiped tears.
"Every time I dream back at midnight, I wonder why I was so stupid at the beginning. If I were an elf and cried a little, I would definitely attract the second brother and third brother in the yard, so that my mother wouldn't have to die."
"It's not your fault, Ziqing, it's not your fault."
"That's what the aunt said. Later, I didn't know why, so I fell into a coma. When I woke up, it was in the aunt's room. The aunt asked me if I had seen anything. I didn't know what had happened at that time, so I told the aunt that the aunt asked me not to say anything, and that this matter had never happened."
"Why..."
"At that time, there must have been nothing she could do, otherwise she would not have endured it until now. What's more, Fang Ling was wearing fairy grass clothes, and fairy grass was dressed as a wet nurse. In this way, even if a subordinate saw someone entering the third aunt's room, she would only find fairy grass and nanny, but Fang Ling was still Nothing happened. Based on my understanding of her, on the contrary, she also handled this matter very beautifully on the surface.
