Fifty-one challenge Ming

  There was a moment when Gu Qing was really frightened by that gaze, but the sadness and anger in her heart ultimately overcame this fear. She suddenly jumped up to grab Gu Man, the veins on the back of her hand were very prominent.

  Gu Man had been guarding against this move since she made it, and when she saw her pounce over, she quickly turned around to dodge, instantly making Gu Qing pounce into thin air and lose her balance, falling to the ground.

  Gu Qing was both angry and resentful. Seeing Gu Man still standing indifferently by the side, he said with a scowl: "I've been outsmarted by you!"

  "You're wrong." Gu Man reached out to support Wang Shi and said lightly, "From the beginning, it was you who designed me, not I who designed you. Fourth sister, since you're leaving anyway, as sisters, I'll give you a few words: those who do too much evil will inevitably perish!"

  Gu Qing was so angry at her words that she couldn't get a word in edgewise, and just as she was about to retort, Fan Shi suddenly rushed over and whispered in her ear: "Aren't you going to stop? You've made such a scene, anything you say now will only make things worse!"

  Gu Man saw Gu Lao Tai Tai leave the door, then squatted down to face Gu Qing, coldly laughing: "Big Aunt is right, Fourth Sister, obediently go to Tongzhou to be raised, if you make another mistake, beware that you may not return for a lifetime!"

  After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the ugly faces of Fan and Gu Qing behind him, and supported Wang back to walk.

  The wind was very strong. As soon as they went out the door, Gu Man felt a gust of cold air blowing fiercely towards her face and she tightened her grip on Wang Shi's arm slightly.

  Wang was silent for a while before asking her: "How did you get Autumn Orchid to speak up for us? Isn't she Little Fourth's person?"

  Gu Man knew what she was going to ask, so she looked up at her and after a long time asked very seriously: "Mother, are you angry? Are you angry that Father will speak for Liu Niang but not care about our lives?"

  Wang didn't mind her sudden question, but after thinking for a moment, the color in her eyes dimmed slightly. She wasn't indifferent to it. No matter how broad-minded she was, he was still her husband after all.

  But this husband's first concern was not himself, but when it came to himself, he opened his mouth and blamed others. When the matter involved his concubine, he became indignant instead.

  Isn't it ridiculous?

  She just suddenly misses her father and family.

  Lowering her head, she held Gu Man tightly in her arms and tried to make her tone a bit more cheerful: "I used to get angry, but I won't anymore."

  That's it.

  A person's heart won't always be flawless. Gu Bo Qi personally ground down Wang Shi's love for him bit by bit. This is a good thing.

  She looked up with a smile, just about to say something, when she saw Wang had already turned his head to look ahead.

  She followed Wang's line of sight and saw that Gu Yan was standing not far away with tears in her eyes. As soon as she saw them, she ran over without caring about anything else, and hugged Wang's clothes: "Mother, I heard that you were called by the old lady, are you okay?"

  Such a small child, still waiting for herself in such cold weather, if she says that her heart is not moved at all, it's fake. Wang's heart softened. Her voice also softened and comforted her: "Mother is fine, what are you doing here so late?"

  She smiled even more radiantly, with a hint of proper fear in her eyes: "I was already asleep, but I heard the commotion outside and asked what happened. It turned out that the old lady's place had a water leak. My mother also rushed over, but I'm worried about my mother. So I thought I'd come take a look."

  Wang sighed and even a daughter born out of wedlock would worry about herself, revealing Gu Boqi's cold heart and cold nature.

  Leading the two daughters into the hall to drink hot tea, she felt a little warmer and her body was somewhat tired, so she ordered Qingyin: "It's late, let the two girls rest in the warm room."

  "Yuetong sister also said so, the warm room should be ready by now." Qingyin smiled as she went over to help her up, saying: "Later I'll take the two young ladies over to rest. First, let me see Madam back to her room and get settled."

  Wang nodded and walked a short distance before turning back to instruct Pei Yin: "Sleep on the outer bed tonight, take good care of your sister."

  "There's me, I'll take care of sister and won't fight with her for the quilt."

  "Good, good, this is for the best."

  Gu Man remained still from start to finish, hanging her head and staring at her feet without making a sound, until Wang Shi left the door, propping up her chin in a thinking posture.

  Gu Yan felt curious and asked her: "Jiu Jie, what are you thinking about?"

  "Ah." Gu Man seemed to have come back to her senses, looking at her with a smile: "I was thinking about something and didn't realize I had become so absorbed in thought."

  "What's on your mind?" Gu Yan seemed nonchalant, smiling harmlessly.

  Gu Man calmly avoided her outstretched hand and said with a hint of helplessness, "I'm thinking of Fourth Sister, she's also a pitiful person."

  Gu Yan's anxiety grew even more, although she was certain that she wouldn't be implicated in this matter, but still couldn't wait to know the outcome. So she let out a cry of surprise and asked: "What happened to Fourth Sister?"

  "Didn't you know, sister?" Gu Man also pretended to be surprised and sighed: "Qiu Lan said that Fourth Sister instructed her to steal my mother's earrings and let Mo Qi burn down Old Lady's house. The old lady was furious and now says she wants to send her to the estate in Tongzhou to recuperate."

  Go to Zhuangzi to recuperate! Having been in ancient times for so many years, Gu Yan naturally knew what it meant to go to Zhuangzi to recuperate. It means that Gu Qing was exiled like this?

  She wasn't pitiful, Gu Qing originally. If the design didn't work out, she would have to bear the consequences. There was nothing good to say about it, it was just that Gu Qing's luck was bad. She simply felt that these ancient rules were a bit too frightening.

  "How dare Fourth Sister do such a thing?!" After the shock, she quickly reacted and sighed: "No wonder Old Lady is angry, Fourth Sister is really too muddle-headed."

  "She's muddled." Gu Man quickly picked up the conversation: "But not muddled in provoking the old lady, but rather setting her sights on us!"

  Jian Gu Yan was staring at herself in shock, and Gu Man coldly laughed and walked over to her, saying word by word: "What I hate the most is people who reach out too far. Apparently, Fourth Sister is this kind of person, isn't she?"

  Gu Yan's heart skipped a beat - Gu Man seemed to know everything.

  This time Wang was fine. She was already very surprised, and subconsciously, she realized that the only explanation for Wang being able to get out of this predicament was Gu Man.

  Perhaps the only one who shouldn't have been dragged into this trap is Gu Man. It's all because of Gu Qing, who wanted to take down both Wang Shi and Gu Man at once, giving Wang Shi an opportunity - she can now confirm that something must have gone wrong with Gu Man's part. Otherwise, Gu Man wouldn't have let Pei Yin bring the slaves from Qing Jiang Yuan to testify.

  Having understood this point, her heart suddenly calmed down a bit, and she pretended to be confused. She yawned and said: "What is Ninth Sister talking about? I didn't understand anything."

  "Are you kidding a little kid? Gu Man sneered, perhaps in her previous life she would have believed without hesitation, after all, who would believe that an angel-like child like this could have such deep intentions? But the current Gu Man wouldn't believe a single word. She calmly instructed the servant to make the bed and said faintly: "If you don't understand, then forget it, it's late at night, Eleventh Sister should go to sleep early, be careful not to encounter things that shouldn't be encountered on the road."

  It was late at night, and as soon as Gu Boqi walked out of the door of De'an Residence, he felt a bit chilly. He couldn't help but snatch the hand warmer from the maid who was following him. After yawning again, he bid farewell to the three elderly masters - fortunately, Gu Qing didn't really want to kill the old lady, and the fire wasn't severe at all. De'an Residence only had two rooms that were badly burned, and Madame Gu had already moved back in.

  They tried to persuade her in a large group. They comforted her and finally, Mrs. Gu was able to rest.

  "What's going on with all these things lately?" Gu Boqi led a group of people walking on the road. Thinking that Wang Shi didn't even glance at himself, and Gu Man treated him as if he was invisible, he felt increasingly annoyed: "In previous years, I never thought life was so difficult!"

  Ma Yinniang was anxious and uneasy, but Liu Yinniang was exceptionally calm. She seemed like an ordinary person, facing the cold wind as she went out the door and stood at the entrance to welcome her husband.

  It's okay if it didn't work out this time, there are plenty of opportunities and a next time.

  What's more, this time those fools probably won't even guess that this matter will still be related to themselves.

  She recalled the shocked yet disgusted expression on Gu Boqi's face when he heard the news that Wang was accused of arson, and slightly curled up the corners of her mouth.

  Not even two men can look at her with favor, such a weak and foolish woman, apart from that noble birth, what else is left?

  She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Green Intention beside her say: "The old master has returned!"

  As expected, she saw many figures looming in the distance, her face lit up with a smile as she hurried to greet them, asking: "It's so cold outside, why did you have to run all the way here? You should be staying in the mistress' quarters, what's the point of suffering like this?"

  Looking at her face, which had turned bright red from the cold, and her pitiful appearance under the dim lamp light, Gu Boqi's heart had already softened a bit. He hastily said: "You! If you wanted Master to go to her room, why are you still standing in this drafty spot so late? If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have frozen for an entire night? How silly."

  Liu Yiniang smiled shyly and raised her hand to brush off some of the snowflakes on Gu Boqi's head, then helped him take off his coat, washed his feet, and finally served him to bed.

  "What's going on?" She leaned against Gu Boqi's chest, playing with his hair, and then looked up at him: "Is the lady okay?"

  Gu Boqi was savoring the soft, warm jade in his arms when he heard Wang's name and said with some displeasure: "What's the point of mentioning her? When she sees me, she raises an eyebrow and looks at me coldly. Who does she think she is? If it weren't for the fact that Princess Zhao invited her a few days ago, Master would have forbidden her from leaving the house, just to avoid the annoyance of looking at her!"

  PS：

  Wow wow wow~~~~

  I'm so happy today, walking on the street and found a grape trellis, it looks really beautiful in the morning.

  Today is Wednesday, Friday is still far away? Everyone who is still working hard, hang in there!!!

  Yeah, I found that I have a special function, which is that every time I punctuate, the commas are always aligned, making me feel like I have OCD, adding or removing a word to make them not so neatly lined up.

  Also, asking for packing and taking away, kowtowing and begging for pink and subscription, thank you very much.
