Gu Jinzhu hesitated for a moment and looked at him. In the end, she didn't say anything, but the moment she let go of him, a trace of disappointment flashed past her heart.
In the Yenfu House, they were supposed to hit five boards, but because no one was taking the initiative, one of them struck ten boards, causing the entire courtyard to howl and fill the sky.
Mrs. Zhen was so angry that her face turned ashen. She kept gasping for air, but there was nothing she could do. The two nanny who had not touched Gu Jinzhu stood behind her, silent. They were scared to the point of not daring to make a sound.
It was only after a long while that the sounds of caning stopped, and a little girl came in shakily to report, "Madam, please hit him." "The fight is over."
Mrs. Zhen was stunned for a moment before she gritted her teeth and asked, "Where's that bastard?"
The little girl was so scared that her legs almost went soft. She replied with a trembling voice, "Third Master took his men and left."
When she heard the soldiers leaving, Mrs. Zhen immediately became excited. She suddenly threw back her head and shouted, "We can't live anymore, we're being bullied on our heads by a junior. I want to be the saint! I want to go to the palace to see the empress dowager!" 'This cheap bastard who killed me with a thousand daggers and was unfilial and unfilial, why don't you just beat me to death? '
When the two nanny saw the situation unfold, they panicked and hurried over to massage her chest and back. They consoled her, "Madame, please be more open-minded and take care of your body."
Mrs. Zhen slapped her thighs, her wails mournful, viciously scolding Gu Yiqing, and then making a ruckus to wear her first name clothes to the palace. She pretended to be serious for a long time, listening to the curses, "Killed a thousand knives, bastard, it's not a good death!" Even after knowing that all the soldiers had left, the faces of the other people in the room still turned pale.
Mrs. Zhen only calmed down after a while. Mrs. Yao tried to persuade her to rest after much argument, before hurrying out with her daughter.
The servant who had been beaten up in the courtyard had already been dragged back into his room. The air was still filled with the faint scent of blood, and the bluish-white stone slabs were stained with dark brown blood.
Mrs. Yao then deployed some servants from the outer court to serve the madame. She ordered the courtyard to be cleaned up before bringing Gu Bitong back to her own courtyard.
Gu Bitong had been frightened twice today and had not had a good rest when she returned. Her jade-like face was pale, and her expression was dispirited. Her usual spirited look had long since disappeared.
Mrs. Yao's heart ached. She personally helped her daughter lie down and covered her with a silk quilt. Just as she was about to leave, Gu Bitong grabbed her sleeve and whispered, "Mother, don't go!"
Mrs. Yao looked at her daughter's frightened expression and felt sorry for her. She sat beside her and coaxed, "Tong be good and mother won't leave. Mother will accompany you."
Gu Bitong's eyes were still filled with fear. After a moment of hesitation, she said with a puzzled expression, "Mother, three …" "How could Third Uncle treat Grandmother like that? He even dared to bring troops to Grandmother's yard. Isn't that disobedient?"
Mrs. Yao said hatefully, "What kind of Third Uncle is he? He's just a bastard of unknown origins. Once he gains power, that's all!"
She patted her chest, but there was a trace of lingering fear in her eyes. In the past, he had never interfered in the affairs of the inner court. Although your grandmother didn't like him, she had never provoked him due to Prince Rui. She never thought that he would actually stand up for slut! "
Her daughter was dragged into the water and almost lost her life. Even if she beat Gu Jinzhu to death, it would still be difficult for her to quell her anger. Seeing that the madame was about to lock her up in the ancestral hall, she didn't expect Gu Yiqing to come out of nowhere!
Gu Bitong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Isn't he in Binzhou to help? Why did you return at this time? "
"Who knows!" Mrs. Yao gritted her teeth as she said, "slut has a good life. If we can lock her in the ancestral hall this time, won't we be able to decide life and death in the future?" The elegant bastard stuck his head out for her and even brought out Prince Rui's big hat! So what if that slut was saved by Prince Rui? He was just a prince, how could he care about a little girl in our family? He's just finding an excuse to save that bitch! "
Mrs. Yao was so angry that she didn't dare to show her face to Gu Yiqing and could only curse angrily behind his back.
Gu Bitong didn't say anything. Thinking about Gu Yiqing's protective look towards Gu Jinzhu, her fingers subconsciously tightened up. She felt a little uncomfortable inside.
Although Gu Yiqing's reputation was not great at home and he didn't have much status, every time his grandmother and mother brought it up, they would call him a "bastard child". However, his looks were really great, and every time she saw him, her heart couldn't help but tremble.
Everyone loved beautiful things, and she was no exception. That person was Third Uncle in his own name, she had a good impression of him before, but he didn't usually go back home, and even if he did, he was rarely seen in his own yard.
Seeing how he defended Gu Jinzhu and had even scolded a servant in her grandmother's courtyard for her, this made her feel not only angry but also jealous.
Mrs. Yao did not sense her daughter's mood and said hatefully, "That bastard has already become lawless by relying on Prince Rui's power. Even your grandmother dared to disobey, one day, we will be killed by him. No, this matter must be told to your father, no matter what, we must think of a way to kick him out!"
She turned around and comforted Gu Bitong, "Tong, rest well. Mother has instructed the kitchen to cook some bird's nest porridge for you. You don't have to worry about anything else, even if you can't touch slut today, so what if there are plenty of opportunities in the future? I want to see if that bastard can always protect her!"
She covered her daughter with the blanket, and after a few more words of warning, she left.
Gu Bitong silently looked at the top of the tent. She thought of the moment when she fell into the water, which was taken advantage of by attendant, and finally, Gu Yiqing protected Gu Jinzhu. He clenched his teeth as a cold hatred shot out from his eyes.
Within the Green Bamboo Garden, Yun Xiang looked at Gu Jinzhu's broken wrist and felt pain in her heart as she continuously complained at Su Ju.
Su Ju was so scared that she curled up in a corner, not daring to make a sound.
Yun Xiang was so angry that she left the room unscathed, but when she returned, she was battered and exhausted. She was wearing someone's clothes, her hair was in disarray, and her arms and wrists were covered in bruises.
Just listening to Su Ju's narration of what happened just now had scared her to death. In such a short time, such a big thing had actually happened to Miss!
Not only had he fallen into the water, he had also been overturned by Mrs. Yao and almost been locked in the ancestral hall. Even Su Ju had been sold on a plank.
Their area was remote, so no matter how loud the commotion caused by Yenfu House, they wouldn't be able to hear anything over here.
She was shocked and frightened. Even though Gu Jinzhu was sitting right in front of her, she was still in a state of shock. When she heard that it was Grandpa Gu who had rushed back in time, she protected her and went straight to reciting Amitabha.
She carefully examined Gu Jinzhu's wounds and instructed Xiao Cui to boil some ginger soup, afraid that the cold would enter her body. She also gave Gu Jinzhu a comfortable cotton nightgown to help her lie down.
