Chapter 1,183, Gu Xishu’s Weakness

The night fell, it was very dark, there was no moon tonight, the two figures walked quietly towards the place where Wen Xiang's Mansion and Xingguo Hou Mansion were connected, without carrying a lantern.

This place used to be the place where the two mansions were connected, but it was later blocked.

But now there is a small hole here, and there is even a faint light on the opposite side, which dilutes the darkness here and allows people to see the road here more clearly.

Gu Xishu was panicked, her pretty face looked pale in the night, and she almost fell down while walking. Fortunately, the maid next to her guarded her tightly and pulled her up from time to time.

She was very familiar with this place when she was a child. Everyone often came to this road. If they wanted to go to Xingguo Gongfu, they would go to Xingguo Gongfu. If they wanted to come to Wenxiang's Mansion, they would go to Wenxiang's Mansion.

But after so many years, she almost never came again.

On the one hand, this place is already remote and almost no one will come here. On the other hand, she doesn't want to think of some long-standing past events. It's best to forget them and let no one know.

Only Shao Yanru knew about this matter. If this person was not Shao Yanru, Gu Xishu would definitely want to silence him. How could she not want to kill this insider? She could think of a way to make her fall into the river and drown. .

But this person is Shao Yanru, and she can't deal with Shao Yanru.

Gu Xishu knew this very well. After suffering several losses and being stepped on by Shao Yanru, Gu Xishu realized this clearly and did not dare to touch Shao Yanru's mind from then on.

This matter also became a secret between her and Shao Yanru. In order to block this secret, she helped Shao Yanru several times.

This was something she had to do. She couldn't fight against Shao Yanru, so she had to listen to her. When the news came that Shao Yanru was dead, Gu Xishu happily walked around the yard for a day, and everyone she saw was smiling. From then on No one knew about it after that, and no one would threaten her with it again.

This is her weakness!

But she was not happy for a few days, when news came from the Xingguo Marquis Mansion, asking her to come here to meet. What she mentioned vaguely was what happened back then. How dare Gu Xishu not come? The more she walked here, the more panicked she became. Wasn't Shao Yanru Already dead? Who else knows about this? Could it be that Shao Yanru's ghost comes to find him?

Thinking about it this way, she felt that there were faint ghosts all the way, which made her face pale and her legs weak from fear.

After finally getting here, I saw the light coming from the opposite courtyard. I took a few deep breaths and wiped the sweat from my forehead with a handkerchief.

This area was blocked before. At that time, a few bricks were simply laid here and smoothed a bit. Now a few bricks have been pulled out, and the lights on the opposite side can be seen.

"You...you are Miss Shao's...who?" Gu Xishu said in a trembling voice, lowering her voice.

After saying this, I felt like there was a gloomy wind around me.

Originally, only a few bricks were pulled out, but now the bricks were pulled out faster, and soon a hole half a man's height was revealed.

A man's voice came from the opposite side: "Come here!"

Gu Xishu swallowed, her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand. Why was he a man? How could he be a man?

But if she was a woman, should she panic more and run away?

"Don't come here yet!" The man opposite had a majestic voice. He didn't sound like he was some wretched servant. He gritted his teeth and Gu Xishu lowered her head and ducked over.

When they reached the opposite side and saw Shao Huaan standing opposite, they breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them were considered

Known.

"Master Shao!" He wiped the cold sweat from his head.

Shao Hua'an glanced at her, then turned and entered the house next to her. Gu Xishu followed. The maid was left at the door by the young man Liu, so she walked in.

Shao Hua'an sat down in the room. His legs and feet were much better, but he couldn't stand for a long time, so he mainly relied on sitting.

"Master Shao came to see me...for what reason?" Gu Xishu came in and asked uneasily.

There was no one else in the house. If anyone saw the situation between the two of them, it would be an affair between a man and a woman. Then she would have no choice but to be Shao Huaan's concubine.

Of course Gu Xishu didn't want to. She admired her third cousin, not the young master Shao in front of her.

"Did you read the letter?" Shao Hua'an glanced at Gu Xishu and said with a smile. If his sister hadn't mentioned this, he really wouldn't have known that the cousin of Prime Minister Wen's Mansion in front of him would be such a ruthless person. At a young age, she dared to harm her cousin just because this cousin was Wen Xiang's biological daughter and was more favored than her.

Women, indeed, the more delicate they look, the more poisonous they are.

"What do you mean, eldest son?" Gu Ximei's face darkened.

"Don't you understand, Miss Gu? Do you still want me to explain what happened at the beginning? Wen Xiang is just such a daughter. If you know that his little daughter died in the hands of your cousin, don't say you want to marry Wen Xiang's son. Otherwise, even your life will not be saved, and your family will even be harmed."

Shao Huaan said rudely, tapping his fingers on the table with disdain in his eyes. He would not come to see such a vicious woman unless he had to.

"You...what do you want?" The composure she had pretended to be suddenly became trembling, Gu Xishu pulled her sleeves tightly and said in a panic.

"What do you want to do?" Shao Huaan twitched the corners of his lips and waved to her.

Gu Xishu walked over with fear and stayed close.

"What will happen if someone sees it?" Shao Huaan stretched out his hand and scratched around.

How about it? Only as a concubine.

In the past, Shao Huaan might have been the eldest son of Duke Xingguo, at least with some capital. How could Gu Xishu like him at this time?

Let alone being a concubine, she would not want to marry him.

"Tell me, what do you want?" Gu Xishu gritted her teeth and asked.

"When I leave the house tomorrow, I will see this woman and have a good relationship with her." Shao Huaan pointed to a small piece of paper on the table and said.

Gu Xishu reached for it and saw that there was a woman's name at the top, followed by some details about her life.

"E Niang? Who is she?" She asked subconsciously.

"You don't have to ask who she is. When you leave the house tomorrow, her carriage will accidentally bump into her, and then you two will become friends. She is the daughter of a censor, but she can't find any relatives right now!" Shao Huaan ordered road.

"What does she want to do?" Gu Xishu became uneasy. Such a woman bumped into her silently. Could it be that she wanted to harm Prime Minister Wen's house?

"Don't worry, she is not going to your Prime Minister Wen's Mansion, but to our Marquis' Mansion. You just need to make good friends with her. She is not young enough to be your mother, and she will not steal the person you like. "Shao Hua'an chuckled disdainfully. Gu Xishu was interested in Wen Xichi. This was not a secret. He knew it from the beginning.

Although Wen Xichi treats Gu Xishu well, he only treats her as a younger sister. His own sister died young, so for this

A cousin also treats her as a biological sister.

I didn't know it in the past. Shao Hua'an only thought that Gu Xishu's life was good. Now it seems that she is so vicious and calculating at such a young age. It is really disgusting. Wen Xichi has always been smart, but he is dark under the lamp. He didn't expect that he My little sister actually died in the hands of this vicious woman.

However, right now, Zheng was worried that she could not find anyone to take E Niang to appear in front of others. Although the eldest princess Ruian was kind to her, it was impossible to take her out. In front of the eldest princess Ruian, E Niang was just a little Maid, she was promoted for the sake of the late Princess Qinghua, and of course to use her against his mother.

As for Princess Chen, it is not easy to get close to her at all, let alone appear in front of everyone with E Niang to clear up her previous rumors.

Gu Xishu is a suitable candidate right now.

"I heard that there will be a banquet at Prime Minister Wen's Mansion in the next few days. Just introduce E Niang to some good people." Shao Hua'an said.

The third son of Wen, Wen Xichi, is very old, but has never gotten married. Mrs. Wen is very anxious, so this banquet is said to be a lotus appreciation party, but it is actually a blind date in disguise. She wants to marry her son to a famous lady. Be a wife.

When she mentioned this, Yu Xishu gritted her teeth angrily. She expressed her feelings for her third cousin openly and secretly, but her aunt, who always loved her, pretended not to understand. Now she actually wanted to have a blind date. It was clear. How could she be willing to do so without considering her own wishes?

She wants to marry her third cousin, not her second cousin.

"Okay, I promise you!" Gu Xishu said, with a trace of annoyance flashing in her eyes. Since she couldn't let her aunt relent, she ruined the lotus appreciation banquet to prevent her aunt from taking a fancy to anyone. As for the Xingguo Houfu sent This woman, compared to this matter, is not a big deal.

She is just an elderly middle-aged woman and does not pose a danger to herself. If she can be used, there may be unexpected benefits.

As he thought this in his mind, the expression on his face relaxed.

"Don't bring your evil thoughts to E-Niang. E-Niang follows you to show her face in front of everyone. If you mess up this matter, you won't be able to deal with your past affairs." Shao Huaan saw it at a glance. Her plan, he warned her with a sneer.

"If something happens to her, will it be my fault?" Gu Xishu retorted unconvinced.

"Of course!" Shao Huaan said matter-of-factly.

Gu Xishu gritted her teeth angrily and couldn't help but said: "Even if you tell us what happened back then, not many people will believe it, and there is no evidence."

"Even if there is no evidence, will the people in Wen Xiang's Mansion still treat you like they did before?" Seeing that she was still struggling, Shao Hua'an reminded her coldly, "The Third Young Master of Wen Xiang's Mansion has always been extremely intelligent. He has such a conjecture, even if the matter has been going on for so long, he will still find out if it is impossible to find out. When the time comes, even if you sacrifice your life, it will not be enough. If you don’t believe it, you can give it a try."

Gu Xishu didn't dare to give it a try. She couldn't bear this tone and had to endure it. She lowered her head and accepted it.

Seeing her promise, Shao Huaan waved his hand, indicating that she could leave.

As if she had been pardoned, Gu Xishu did not dare to stay any longer. For fear of being discovered, she took the maid back to Wen Xiang's Mansion. After that, the bricks were piled up one by one. At first glance, they looked the same as before. The night was so quiet that no one noticed that the lights on their side had already attracted people's attention.

After the people from the two mansions left, a dark shadow flashed across a tree and disappeared...
