Chapter 1240, The Cunning Gu Xishu

"What should I do?"

"Wait and see what happens." Jie Yan said.

"Don't pull him?" Cheng Wang frowned, the incident happened suddenly, and he didn't think about how to deal with it for a while.

"Don't pull!" Jie Yan shook his head, and his words were quite meaningful, "The prince should be more careful at this time."

King Cheng understood the meaning of the precept, and after thinking about it, he nodded, "This king knows what to do."

This is not only about Shao Jing, but also about Shao Yanru, and the warning also reminded him of this: "If there is any news from Shao Yanru, send her to the Zhou Palace."

Before, King Cheng asked Shao Yanru to contact King Zhou in private.

"Send it to Prince Zhou's Mansion? Isn't it appropriate at this time?" Jie Yan felt that no one would take Shao Yanru in at this time.

"That's up to her!" Cheng Wang sneered. He originally accepted this woman for Shao Jing's sake. It doesn't mean that this woman can fall in his heart, she was originally traded and it's not suitable now, it's the best thing to give this troubled child to Chu Liuzhou.

It's not that he didn't want to give it to Chu Liuyue. Compared to Chu Liujian, Chu Liuyue was less likely to be confused. As for Chu Liuchen, King Cheng never thought about it. Chu Liuxin was not dangerous and didn't need it.

Ever since Chu Liuzhou was grounded as the empress, the situation has not been very good. At this time, it is Chu Liuzhou who needs "help" the most. Besides, Chu Liuzhou did covet Shao Yanru's beauty before. At this time, don't give it to him. To whom.

Hearing what King Cheng said, Jie Yan had an expression of understanding, "The poor monk understands, does the prince want to go back to the mansion right now?"

"Going back to Prince Cheng's mansion is the same as the plan we made before." King Cheng nodded, straightened his sleeves, and strode out.

Brother Huang repeatedly asked him to go down the mountain and return to his Prince Cheng's mansion. If he evades again, it will be difficult for Brother Huang. Especially at this time, he should be upright. If he stays here again, he will definitely be jealous.

The news that Marquis Xingguo was taken away by the Ministry of Punishment also spread to Prince Yue's Mansion and Prince Zhou's Mansion that night. The fact that Shao Jing's concubine pretended to be an official and was discovered was known to the entire capital city. For Shao Jing once again Being taken away by the Ministry of Punishment, the two palaces didn't take it seriously, it wasn't a big deal, but Shao Jing's character was really ruined.

When everyone doesn't think it's a big event, the atmosphere in Wenxiang's mansion is not good.

Wen Xichi hasn't gone back yet. He went to the Criminal Department today and hasn't returned to the mansion yet, but Wen Xiang went back to the mansion first at nightfall, returned to the mansion, and went directly to Mrs. Wen Xiang's yard. , said some words to Mrs. Wenxiang, but did not stay after speaking, and went directly to the study in the front yard.

Mrs. Wen Xiang was sitting under the lamp, her face turned blue and white for a while, and Wen Xiang's words were in her ears, "Come here, go and invite Miss Biao."

A woman retreated in response, and led Gu Xishu over after a while.

Gu Xishu's life was not easy either. After returning from Xingguo Hou's mansion, she was slapped twice by Mrs. Wenxiang before she arrived at the mansion. She was driven away after that. She deliberately wanted to stop her second cousin in the front yard. But she was stopped by the maid, and a woman sent by Mrs. Wenxiang was guarding the gate of the courtyard, preventing her from going out.

At this time, Mrs. Wenxiang summoned her, and hurried over after tidying up.

It's night, the lights are on, and Gu Xishu is here

Under the lamp, she looked a little chilly, and she seldom came to Mrs. Wenxiang at this time.

In comparison, Mrs. Wenxiang under the lamp was a little bit cold, her eyes fell on Gu Xishu's body coldly, seeing her coming up to salute, she accepted her salute without moving, and then said nothing.

Gu Xishu turned her body slightly to salute, and couldn't hear Mrs. Wenxiang's voice for a long time. Her feet softened and she fell to the ground. The maid who followed her wanted to help her, but when she saw Wenxiang When Madam's face showed timidity, she stepped back silently and hid in the shadows.

"Auntie!" Gu Xishu fell to the ground, raised her head, and looked at Mrs. Wenxiang with tears in her eyes, feeling very wronged.

Mrs. Wenxiang looked down at Gu Xishu, her eyes were cold and disappointed.

"Is that why you want my life? I have raised you for so many years. It's not that a daughter is better than a daughter. That's how you repay me?" Mrs. Wenxiang said.

"Auntie, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm Xishu, you raised Xishu, why do you miss me so much?" Gu Xishu began to cry, looking really pitiful under the light, with tears One by one fell down, extremely bleak.

"Whether you are sincere or false, your relationship with our mansion is over. You clean up and go back to your home tomorrow. From now on, don't come again." Mrs. Wen Xiang didn't want to entangle her anymore, cold Coldly issued a eviction order.

"Aunt...Auntie, what happened, why did you treat me like this? I...how could I leave you, you raised me so much, and I haven't repaid your kindness in raising me!" Gu Xishu hurriedly kneeled In two steps, he hugged Mrs. Wenxiang's leg, crying louder and louder.

If she doesn't leave, how can she leave? She wants to marry third cousin, she must marry third cousin.

Mrs. Wenxiang's legs moved, and two women came over and pulled Gu Xishu's tightly hugging hands.

"Auntie, I really don't know, I really don't know that E Niang is a liar, I thought she was real, so I brought her to you, Auntie, please forgive me, I really I don't know anything." Gu Xishu struggled violently, crying while struggling, the makeup on her face had already been ruined, and her originally beautiful face looked messy and ugly.

The two women pulled her aside and stopped their hands. Mrs. Wen Xiang sneered and said, "Is it really an accident to meet E Niang that day? If it wasn't for your suggestion, where would I go? If I didn't go there, I wouldn't go there." Will I meet E Niang, right? I won’t accidentally fall and almost die, there is no one else around, and my legs and feet are pretty good, I’m not so old!”

"I am also very careful when walking on the steps. I have seen unobtrusive stones blocking the way before, but in the end I stepped on the stones and fell for no reason. I almost died. What's more, I met E Niang who can fight , she became my savior, and after hearing what you said, I took her to introduce her identity to others, and this time I went to Xingguohou's mansion to support her!"

"Auntie, I can't understand what you are saying. It's my fault. I took my aunt out to enjoy the scenery. I didn't take good care of my aunt. I can punish me any way I want, but my aunt can't say that I have bad intentions for you. After all these years, doesn’t my aunt know who I am? How could I harm my aunt, I... what benefits can I get!”

Gu Xishu was so aggrieved that she couldn't speak, and she cried so hard that she argued loudly, but she didn't dare to rush to hug Mrs. Wenxiang's leg again.

She cried so sadly that she had no image. She fell to the ground crying, looking very sad, "Auntie, if you don't believe me, I am willing to die to show my ambition. As long as my aunt believes in me, I... I will do anything Auntie, you have been very kind to me for so many years, and I treat you like my own mother, you doubt me so much...I...I really can't live anymore!"

As Gu Xishu said, she stumbled and stood up, as if she was really going to hit the wall to die.

The maid and mother-in-law hurried forward to stop her, but Gu Xishu fell to the ground crying again.

Seeing such a determined Gu Xishu, Mrs. Wen Xiang hesitated again. Could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with her, and it was really just the plot of the woman named E Niang? After all, it must be the child that he had brought up since he was a child. Mrs. Wen Xiang's hard face softened a little, and her expression was no longer hard and cold.

"Auntie, let me die. If I die, I will bless you with a long life in heaven. I won't hate you. I just ask my aunt to let me be buried here after I die. I have been with my aunt ever since. I have been away from my parents since I was a child, and having parents is the same as having no parents. Except you, who else will take pity on me. "

Seeing Mrs. Wenxiang's appearance, Gu Xishu knew that Mrs. Wenxiang's heart had softened, and immediately cried even more frightened, as if she had been abandoned, watching Mrs. Wenxiang's tearful petition.

Seeing her crying like this, and what she said was so sincere, Mrs. Wen Xiang felt uneasy.

"Okay, get up!"

"Auntie, you... have you forgive me?" Gu Xishu was very excited.

"Let's get started!" Mrs. Wen Xiang said.

"If my aunt is not willing to forgive me, I will kneel and die here." Gu Xishu said stubbornly, looking at Mrs. Wenxiang pitifully.

Looking at Gu Xishu in this state, Mrs. Wenxiang thought of her well-behaved appearance when she was a child. At that time, her daughter was gone. Such a small child was so pitiful when she saw her waking up by her bedside. He also sent a medicine bowl over, so he must try the medicine for himself!

"Get up..." Mrs. Wenxiang sighed. She was really cold-hearted towards Gu Xishu. This is the child she raised as a daughter. When she sees her, she will always think of her daughter. If she is still there, Is it the same appearance, my heart immediately softens into water, how can the child she raised have such a bad heart, not to mention she also said that if it hurts herself, it will not be good for her.

"Mother, let her kneel!" A cold voice came from the door of the house, and Wen Xichi, who was dressed in a black brocade robe, stood at the door, with cold eyes full of determination.

"Xi'er, you're back!" Mrs. Wen Xiang raised her eyes to see Wen Xi and said, "Why is it so late today, come back and rest first."

"Three...Third cousin!" Gu Xishu said timidly, looking more and more weak, looking at Wen Xichi with pitiful and expectant eyes, hoping that Wen Xichi could give her a hand when he entered the door.

Wen Xichi ignored her, walked straight past her, stepped on her fluttering skirt, as if she didn't see it, and walked past her.

Gu Xishu was shocked, and looked at Wen Xichi's back in panic. Even if Wen Xichi ignored her before, he didn't ignore her like this, and even stepped on her skirt indifferently. Footprints, is this the elegant and noble third cousin, so rude and rude...
