When everyone thought that Su Xiao Jin would be pierced through the throat by the hairpin, Su Xiao Jin tilted her head and dodged the hairpin. Naturally, the hairpin was inserted into the ground by her side. Xiao Cui was also stunned, her eyes opened wide as she stared at Su Xiao Jin.

Above her head, the petals of a peony flower rustled and fell, as if it was frightened. As Su Xiaojin looked at Xiao Cui's ugly expression, she suddenly burst into tears and pushed her away with a great deal of strength, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground at 180 degrees once more. She groaned in pain as she heard Su Xiaojin cry out: "You're bullying me, you're bullying me!"

Gu Jingqi's face kept changing, causing Xiao Cui to panic. She crawled up and said fiercely, "You're talking nonsense! You were the one who stole my hairpin and pulled me down to the ground. You wanted to die, yet you still wanted me to accompany you! " When she said that, she got even angrier, the reason she just tried to persuade Gu Jingqi had already disappeared. After all, anyone that received this sort of treatment would be very angry.

Su Xiao Jin also crawled up from the ground, her body covered in dirt. When she had pulled Xiao Cui down, she intentionally took a few steps to the side so that the two of them could fall under the flower bush. When she had pulled Xiao Cui along when she fell, she intentionally took a few steps to the side so that the two of them could fall under the flower bush.

"Miss!" Reaching out to help Su Xiao Jin, he heard her whisper in his ear: "Cry!" Xiao Xi'er was startled, she immediately hugged onto Su Xiao Jin's arm, crying out loud: "Aiyo, my poor young miss, why is your life so bitter? I only slept on a hard bed and dressed as a maid. I wanted to eat something good, and was even humiliated by a maid. Young miss, why did you have to come back after you left?

The people from the courtyard were all astonished as they looked at the two crying. Some of them were a bit older, but after seeing Su Xiao Jin's appearance, they couldn't bear it any longer and began to secretly shed tears.

These words were naturally taught to Xi Er by Su Xiao Jin. This little girl was clever and had been waiting for Su Xiao Jin's signal the entire time. At this moment, the two of them were crying bitterly.

"Mother …" Wu wu wu … "Mother …" Originally, she wanted to cry to see if the man hiding outside the courtyard had any reaction. But as she cried, she thought of her master who had stayed in that world, and thinking that she might never be able to see him again, she couldn't help but feel sad. In the end, she sat down on the ground, crying even harder.

Xi Er also cried because she thought of all that had happened in the past. Although this master and servant were acting, this scene could be said to have made everyone feel a bit of sympathy. Only Gu Jingqi and the others had dark expressions.

Finally, Gu Qi Jing walked down the stairs, picked up Xiao Cui who was scared silly by the crying, and fiercely said to the two of them: "If you want to cry about that short-lived ghost, go cry in your own yard, why are you crying about me? Summoning the soul! "

"How dare you!" At that moment, a cold voice rang out in the crowd's ears.

Xi Er was shocked and stopped crying due to fright. Gu Jingqi's expression also changed, and she instantly turned silent. Furthermore, her face was extremely pale.

However, Su Xiao Jin did not seem to care and continued to cry. She choked on her sobs and shouted: "Mother …." One word at a time was enough to break a person's heart. At the same time, she looked out of the corner of her eye at the incoming person.

He saw that this person was wearing a navy blue robe and his material was luxurious. One could tell that he was of the highest quality with a single glance. His robe was embroidered with a light, complex text that was difficult to see clearly under the moonlight. He was tall and straight, handsome, with an imposing aura around him. Even though he was already middle-aged, his handsome face was like ink under the moonlight, with a touch of dark green.

Su Xiaojin was surprised, was this person Prime Minister Gu Zhiqiu? She had thought that Gu Zhiqiu's name would be refined, and considering that he was a scholar, his scholarly style would be weak. She had never imagined that he would be such a tall and handsome man.

Su Xiao Jin originally wanted to make a ruckus with Jing Jing Qi, so she wanted to take a look at the legendary Song family. However, halfway through, she saw a person with extraordinary temperament standing outside the courtyard. She was a thief, and a thief didn't like people or things around her, so she felt sharp.

Gu Zhiqiu walked over with a dark face, not revealing his emotions. His cold gaze swept over Gu Jingqi, who dared not speak, and then walked in front of Su Xiaojin, looking at Su Xiaojin who was crying until her face turned black, he couldn't help but frown. Naturally, he wouldn't be bewitched by Su Xiaojin's scene, however, because he knew that this was a play, the shock in his heart was immeasurable.

Was this the silly daughter he had always hated? That stupid girl who hid in the house out of fear and didn't even dare to call him daddy? If she was stupid, how could she have been so intelligent just now and let him see this? Even though Gu Zhiqiu knew it was an act, everyone in the yard was watching. The fault was indeed Gu Jingqi and Xiao Cui, and Gu Jingqi said such outrageous words, how could he tolerate it?

"Are you scared?" Gu Zhiqiu asked with his back half bowed, his tone neither cold nor hot. Although it was neither hot nor cold, it was better than his harsh words from before.

Gu Jingqi opened her eyes wide and thought that she heard wrong. The surrounding people also looked at their master with surprise and suspicion. This kind of gaze was like that of a heartless and cruel person, suddenly turning better. Everyone looked at him with that kind of "wow, a beast is an adult" gaze.

Gu Zhiqiu reached out his hand with a dark expression, wanting to help Su Xiaojin up. Gu Jingqi finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Dad!"

Gu Zhiqiu looked up and stared coldly at Gu Jingqi. Gu Jingqi had never been treated like this by Gu Zhiqiu before, and what she said just now was heard by Gu Zhiqiu. Gu Jingqi thought that he was probably angry. This was because she had once heard Madame Song privately say that Gu Zhiqiu actually valued that Shen Zhi Wei a lot, and had even specifically warned her not to mention that person in front of him. Gu Jingqi had always thought that her mother was timid and looked down on that Shen Zhi Wei, but she never thought that she would know that she had truly done wrong when she saw Gu Zhiqiu's expression today.

"What kind of a person is your aunt, how can she allow you to cause such a ruckus?!" As expected, Gu Zhiqiu scolded him somewhat sullenly.

Gu Jingqi bit her lips without saying anything, but there were tears in her eyes. This was her usual tactic. Every time Gu Zhiqiu saw her crying, he would not care about her and would instead do everything he could to make her happy. Who knew that Gu Zhiqiu would actually be angry today? When he saw her crying, his brows knitted together impatiently. After that, he turned his face to the side and said to Su Xiaomeng with a somewhat gentle tone, "Stand up."

Su Xiao Jin stopped crying and continued to look innocently at Gu Zhi Qiu. Behind her, clusters of peony blossoms bloomed brilliantly, and as the wind blew, a few petals floated down, staining her black hair and shoulders, adding a bit of a flirtatious charm to her pink, plain white body.

Gu Zhiqiu stood there in a daze, a pair of deep eyes adorned with the cold and clear moonlight. It was so cold that no one dared to look at it directly. At the moment, he was in a trance and no one could understand his emotions.

Su Xiao Jin naturally did not know that Gu Zhi Qiu was looking at her. It was as if she was looking at the scene of her first encounter with Shen Zhi Wei over thirty years ago. At that time, he was only seven years old, and Shen Zhi Wei was only four years old. At that time, Shen Zhi Wei, who looked like a glutinous rice ball, sat under the peach blossom tree and cried.

How good would life be if it were only the first time?

Everyone thought that Su Xiao Jin would grab Gu Zhi Qiu's hand. After all, it was rare for Gu Zhi Qiu to treat her so warmly, but Su Xiao Jin didn't. On the contrary, when Gu Zhi Qiu was lost in thought, she opened his hand, said 'bad guy', then crawled up and hid behind Xi Er.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the courtyard became stifling once again.

Gu Zhiqiu frowned as he looked at Su Xiaojin. At this moment, her face was covered in tears, and her gaze was filled with vigilance and avoidance, just like a mouse that saw a cat.

The wind of the May night was still chilly, but it still made him feel slightly cold.

In the strange silence, Gu Jingqi became the first person to explode. She had long gotten used to Gu Zhiqiu's love, and now that Gu Zhiqiu looked at her coldly, she felt pity for Su Xiaojin. How could she take it? Seeing that Su Xiao Jin was actually treating Gu Zhi Qiu in such a manner, he immediately cursed: "How dare you treat father like this!"

Su Xiao Jin shrank back again, as if she was afraid of something. However, if she were to really say it like this, everyone would think that she was a fool. Looking at the expression on Gu Zhiqiu's face, they thought that because of the incident just now, she had indeed angered him, and felt even more that this was all part of Su Xiaojin's scheme.

As for Xiao Cui, when she saw Gu Zhiqiu enter, her expression changed greatly. She limply took a few steps back and leaned against the pillar, not daring to even breathe.

Gu Zhiqiu blandly said, "Jing Qi, how did you talk to your sister?"

When these words were spoken, the entire courtyard was shocked. Su Xiao Jin angrily clenched her teeth and said: "Father! She was the one who started all this nonsense! "

Gu Zhiqiu frowned and coldly said, "Causing trouble without reason? Is that so? Then, did she ask for it herself that your maid would use a hairpin to injure her? "

"She asked for it! "If it wasn't for her …"

"Shut up!" Gu Zhiqiu shouted loudly and raised his hand. Gu Jingqi was instantly stunned, but before she could finish, Xiao Cui finally went limp and kneeled on the ground, then said to Gu Zhiqiu, "Master, don't scold the little miss, it's all your servant's fault … If you want to curse, then curse your servant! "

Gu Zhiqiu coldly gazed down at the young girl who was kowtowing and kowtowing due to his rage. He coldly snorted and said, "You are truly loyal." With that, he looked at Gu Jingqi, who was gritting her teeth, and said, "I was too arrogant in the past, that's why you didn't know your limits."

Gu Jingqi lowered her eyes, held back her tears and bit her lips without saying anything.

Gu Zhiqiu sighed helplessly. He turned around and said to Su Xiaojin, "Your cousin knew you'd come, so he hurried over. Don't make him anxious. Go quickly."

Su Xiao Jin was stunned. Shen Zhi Xiao was here? She frowned. "Okay, I just wanted to see what that Shen Zhixiao looked like." Thinking up to here, she pulled Xi'er along and left, not even daring to take a glance at Gu Zhiqiu.

Gu Zhiqiu turned around and looked at the fleeing Su Xiaojin. Suddenly, he wondered if he had been mistaken. Su Xiaojin was still that ignorant fool, and yet she was relying on her instincts to hate this father of hers? Thinking of this, he felt a sense of loss.
