Chapter 184

After Gu Qingzhu and Qi Xuan returned to the Qi family, they went to the He family with gifts the next day.

Duan came out to greet Gu Qingzhu in person. Gu Qingzhu glanced at her and then went straight into the flower hall with a cold face, which made Duan a little embarrassed. When Gu Qingzhu came back, she would give Duan a blessing gift, but this time, she had never even looked at her directly.

Duan was very angry, but he could do nothing. After all, in terms of identity, although one was the Marquis and the other was the Prince's wife, Gu Qingzhu had been invited by the Qi family to have an imperial edict. If he said it from the perspective of imperial edict, there was nothing wrong with Gu Qingzhu's disrespect to her.

"I heard that the prince's wife went to Mobei with the prince, and she was still going smoothly?"

Duan put away his dissatisfaction and asked Gu Qingzhu.

Gu Qingzhu nodded, not intending to greet Duan, but asked Duan directly: "I heard that my sister gave birth to a child, and I, an aunt, always come and have a look."

"Oh, yes. When the child was full of the month, the prince's wife was not in the capital, so I couldn't see him. I ordered someone to carry the child over and show him to the prince's wife."

Duan said patiently to Gu Qingzhu.

Gu Qingzhu raised his hand to stop him: "The child is too young. If it is shocked, it will be bad. I'd better go see her. I happened to bring some supplements to my sister. What courtyard does Yuyao live in? Can the wife send someone to guide her?"

Duan frowned: "Does the prince's wife come to see the adults or children?"

Gu Qingzhu looked puzzled: "What do you mean? Can adults and children only see one? I am Yu Yao's sister, can't I come to see her?"

"That's not what it means, but the prince's wife doesn't know. Yu Yao, after giving birth, she is a little in a bad mood. The child cries all night long, and she doesn't have the energy to carry it. I ordered a concubine from Pingzhou to help me take it. Yu Yao now lives in Qingshuiyuan to raise her body, so it's better to be quieter."

Duan’s Buddha’s mouth and snake heart, from this, we can judge that Gu Yuyao’s life in the He family is indeed not good.

Gu Qingzhu remained silent: "With Madam Lao's care, she was not energetic, so I stayed for a while. I was not that ignorant woman, and I would deliberately quarrel at her. It was just that my sisters had been separated for a long time and missed me a little. I think Yuyao was willing to see me too. Of course, if the He family was inconvenient today, the Madam told me that I could come to visit me again next day."

The implication is that Gu Qingzhu must meet Gu Yuyao today. If she can’t see her today, she will come back tomorrow until she sees her.

Duan had no choice but to summon his maid and said, "Take the prince's wife to Qingshuiyuan to see the second young lady."

"Mrs. Please, please, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. You girl, you have a very bad temper. Now I don't have any rules when I see me. I understand that she has just given birth to a child and will not care about her. It's just that I can't breathe, so I won't go with the prince's wife. I hope the prince's wife can persuade her."

After Duan and Gu Qingzhu said this, Gu Qingzhu didn't say anything, but followed the maid to Qingshuiyuan where Gu Yuyao was.

I thought it was not far away, but after walking, I realized how far the Qingshui Garden where Gu Yuyao lives is now from the main courtyard. How far the distance is, it means how far the location is.

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, I walked to a cold water. A small courtyard separated by water and left one side to build a small bridge. The courtyard has white walls and black tiles. It has been a while since Gu Qingzhu frowned:

"Your second young lady lives here?"

Gu Qingzhu asked the maid who led the way. The maid knew her identity and dared not neglect her. She replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Gu Qingzhu frowned secretly: "When did it start?"

"It's about two months." The maid replied. Gu Qingzhu asked him to go up the bamboo bridge.

"What's the reason?" Gu Qingzhu continued to ask.

The He family would not let Gu Yuyao move to this side courtyard for no reason. At least there must be a reason, even for the superficial reason.

The maid was a little hesitant at this time because she was not sure whether these words could be told to outsiders. After all, it was a matter of the He family's backyard. The housekeeper repeatedly told him that he should not talk about the affairs of the backyard.

"After the second young lady gave birth to a young lady, she was a little crazy and ran to the wife to curse. The wife felt that it was too unruly, so she asked the second young lady to move to the side courtyard."

After the maid said this, she felt that she had said a little too much and looked a little uneasy. Gu Qingzhu glanced at Hongqu. Hongqu immediately understood and took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his purse and handed it to the maid who led the way. The maid led the way looked at the silver in her hand, accepted it anxiously, and saluted Gu Qingzhu:

"The second young lady is inside. I went in and said hello to the mothers. The prince's wife is waiting for a moment."

After saying this, the maid entered through the narrow door of Qingshuiyuan. Unexpectedly, there were two mothers behind the door, obviously guarding him. The maid said to the two mothers: "The second young lady's sister comes to see her, and the lady asked me to bring her."

The two women looked at Gu Qingzhu, but they didn't even come out to see one of them. After looking at him for a few glances, they nodded: "Since it was brought by the wife, let's come in."

Seeing that they were arrogant and disrespectful, Hongqu wanted to argue with them, but Gu Qingzhu took a look and stopped him.

Gu Qingzhu believed that if the maid told the two mothers that she was Mrs. Wu'an Hou Shizi, maybe they would have a better attitude towards her, but her current identity is the second young lady's sister, then it is not difficult to imagine their attitude towards Gu Yuyao from the attitude of these two mothers towards her.

Qingshuiyuan is very old from the outside. When you come in, you still find it very old. The yard is a deserted flower bed, and the dead grass lies on the ground and no one cleanses it. The whole yard is bleak and unpopular. And because it is watery, the humidity is relatively high. When the cold wind blows, it is cold to the core.

Gu Qingzhu and the others entered the yard and were looking around. A swearing fat girl walked out of the house, and the empty basin in her hand was seen. Gu Qingzhu asked, "Who are you?"

Gu Qingzhu didn't say anything, Hongqu stepped forward and replied, "My wife is the sister of your second young lady, and I'll come to see your second young lady."

The fat maid looked Gu Qingzhu up and down, and her greedy eyes lingered on the gorgeous jewelry on Gu Qingzhu for several times. She lowered the basin in her hand, hugged her chest, leaned against the door, and blocked the door. Hongqu frowned and looked back. The maid leading the way had already left. The two mothers guarding the door clearly saw the fat maid like this, but turned a blind eye to her, looking like she was in love.

Hongqu certainly knew what the fat girl meant. In order to see Gu Yuyao, Hongqu took out a ingot of ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the fat girl. The fat girl didn't expect that they would act so generously. Her eyes lit up, and she pretended to collect the silver and moved away from the door.

Hongqu has never seen such a blatant maid. He held back his anger and put a curtain on Gu Qingzhu.

After Gu Qingzhu entered the door, he did not feel any heat. Generally speaking, if there were ground dragons in the room or charcoal fire, it should not be so cold. The furnishings in the room were also very old and there was nothing. At a glance, there was a basin of water on the ground in front of the bed, which was so wet that no one cleaned it up. On the bed, there was a thin man as thin as paper, facing his back to the outside.

Gu Qingzhu walked over and stood in front of the bed. Hongqu put down the things in his hand and went forward and shouted:

"Miss Three, Miss Three."

The body on the bed moved, slowly turned around and looked up. When he saw that it was the red canal, he was a little stunned. Then he turned around and saw Gu Qingzhu standing by the bed. He hadn't seen him for a short time. Gu Yuyao had no trace of the former roundness and smoothness. His face was sharpened, and his eyes were much bigger. He was inlaid in his skin and bones, and he looked a little scary.

Gu Qingzhu frowned, walked over, and sat down beside the bed. Gu Yuyao looked shocked. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingzhu would come. There seemed to be a little more spirit in her eyes, and seeing Gu Qingzhu's gorgeous clothes, it seemed to hurt Gu Yuyao's nerves. She lowered her head and looked at the patched quilt covered by her body. Her hands were at a loss and didn't know where to put them.

He combs his hair with his fingers, then pulls his collar and sits up from the bed.

Seeing that she was sitting straight and feeling uncomfortable, Gu Qingzhu leaned over and placed a silky and hard pillow next to her behind Gu Yuyao. When Gu Qingzhu approached Gu Yuyao's quilt pillow, she couldn't help but frown, but said nothing, and personally settled Gu Yuyao and sat there.

Gu Yuyao lowered her head, but she was a rare obedience. It was not until Gu Qingzhu put a pillow on her that Gu Yuyao couldn't help but cover her cheeks with her hands and started crying silently.

If she could, she wouldn't want Gu Qingzhu to see such a miserable scene. She was so arrogant and always thought that everything would be better than Gu Qingzhu, but in the end, she got such an end. She wanted to retain a little self-esteem in front of Gu Qingzhu and didn't want to cry, but it's been a long time since no one came to see her, and no one was kind to her. Gu Yuyao couldn't help but burst into tears.

Gu Qingzhu opened her arms and hugged her into her arms. She felt that Gu Yuyao was cold and took off her fur coat and wrapped it up.

Gu Yuyao was crying in Gu Qingzhu's arms, and whimpered, "Why did you come? Why did you come? How did you come..."

Three such words on his face made Gu Qingzhu sore, sighed silently, and replied: "I went to Mobei and just came back."

It was explained to Gu Yuyao. Gu Yuyao sucked her nose and finally held back her crying. Hongqu looked around and felt distressed, and used a handkerchief to wipe her tears:

"Miss 3, stop crying, it's not good for your health."
