In that compartment, Meng Jinyao and others arrived in front of the carriage.

Before Gu Jingxi could ask her what she wanted to do, Meng Jinyao asked: "After my husband is off duty, if there is nothing else to do, then we should go back home first?"

Gu Jingxi was stunned. Thinking of what his friend said today, he couldn't help but think wrongly. He was a little flattered: "Madam, are you here to pick me up for free?"

Meng Jinyao was stunned when she heard this. Where did Gu Jingxi need her to pick him up during his break?

After a moment, she quickly shook her head and explained: "No, our carriage broke down. It happened to be not far from the Yamen of Dali Temple. It was almost time to leave, so I came over to see if my husband was going back home too. I wanted to make a trip. convenient."

Gu Jingxi replied warmly: "I happen to be going home too, so let's go back together."

The four masters and servants got on the carriage. Fortunately, the carriage was big enough, otherwise it would be crowded for the four of them.

Although Gu Jingxi had a gentle temperament, it was the first time for Qingqiu and Ningdong to ride in a carriage with him. They were so reserved that they did not dare to show their anger and sat motionless.

The two maids sat like wooden sculptures, and Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi did not speak.

After a long silence, Gu Jingxi suddenly asked: "Where did Madam go today?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "I went back to my grandfather's house to do some errands."

Her mother is an only child with no brothers or sisters. Her maternal grandparents have passed away, but the Zhou Mansion is still there. There are still a few servants taking care of the house in the Zhou Mansion. They are all old people of the Zhou family. They are either old or... Those who are lame or have a broken hand have nowhere to go. My grandfather was kind and brought the disabled back home.

When Gu Jingxi heard this, he could vaguely imagine that what she wanted to do was probably related to your Aunt Qiao's son, and asked: "Madam, is the person you are looking for reliable?"

Meng Jinyao nodded and said in a determined tone: "It's reliable. Those who can stay are loyal servants. When my grandfather was seriously ill, he returned the body deed to them. These few people didn't leave. They wanted to stay without any wages. My grandfather gave them a sum of money and asked them to continue taking care of the house, which they regarded as wages."

It was because of the few servants who stayed behind to take care of the Zhou Mansion and clean every room in the mansion regularly that the empty house was kept from being abandoned, allowing her to have a cup of hot tea and eat when she went back occasionally. A hot meal.

Gu Jingxi nodded slightly: "It seems that Madam has a comprehensive plan."

Meng Jinyao smiled: "When I woke up in the morning, I had an idea."

Qingqiu and Ningdong listened to their conversation with their ears pricked up, and their hearts were aroused. It was only today that they suddenly learned that there was something fishy about the death of the eldest son. It was the poisonous woman of the Sun family who did it. The madam did not tell them before. Said this.

Not only them, but also the second young master didn't know about this.

-

Changxing Hou Mansion.

All the koi carp in the fish pond are crowded together, opening their mouths to grab fish food.

Meng Jinyao stood by the pond, watching with interest, and sprinkled another handful of fish food, and the carp that had just dispersed gathered together as quickly as possible.

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream came from not far away, attracting Meng Jinyao's attention. She followed the sound and saw Gu Xuanyi covering her forehead in pain, and Li Waner too. It seemed that they had just reached the corner and no one was in sight. , bumped into each other directly, and their foreheads collided.

Gu Xuanyi grew up being pampered and pampered. Who in the house would dare to bump into her?

She covered her forehead, her head buzzing. When she saw the other person's face clearly, her anger rose. How dare a despicable concubine dare to attack her?

She was so angry that she directly raised her palm, without any hesitation, and used all her strength to hit Li Waner on the face with a "slap", and angrily shouted: "You bitch, you don't have eyes?"

After Li Waner entered the house, although she was not welcomed by the elders, she had never been slapped. She was always held in the palm of Gu Xiuming's hand and pampered. This slap also blinded her, covering half of her face that was numb, feeling aggrieved. Suddenly, tears quickly filled his eyes, and he choked back with sobs: "Miss, you were walking too fast and didn't look at the road, and that's why you bumped into me."

The maid next to Li Waner watched quietly, not daring to say a word. After all, she was the eldest daughter-in-law, and although her master was favored by the prince, she was still a concubine. Among the masters in the house, except for the prince, no one I care about Aunt Li.

Gu Xuanyi glared at her angrily: "You mean I didn't look at the road and bumped into you?"

Li Waner shook her head hastily: "I don't dare."

Gu Xuanyi snorted coldly: "You still don't dare? You've hit me, so why don't you dare?"

As she said that, she looked Li Waner up and down again, covered her face and was about to cry, looking at Chu Chu pitifully, but no matter how she looked, she looked like those concubines of her father, who always win over men by looking weak and unable to take care of themselves. Loving and loving, I love you very much.

She said angrily and sarcastically: "I'm just a concubine. I cry all day long and don't deserve anything on the table. I'm a proud girl and I've been hit on the head by you, a blind person like you, but I haven't cried yet. Why are you crying?"

After the words fell, Li Waner's body trembled slightly, and the tears that had not yet fallen instantly poured down. She sobbed lightly and did not dare to speak.

Gu Xuanyi saw that she was still crying, and felt that she was doing it on purpose. When others passed by and saw it, they thought they had done something to her. She became very angry and yelled angrily: "You are still addicted to crying, right? I don't know. You thought I bumped into you. What else would you concubines do besides pretending to be pitiful all day long to make men pity you?

"Third brother is now grounded. No matter how much you cry, he won't be able to see you. I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup you poured into third brother. You don't want a generous girl like third aunt, but you want to be so shameless. Things elope.”

Li Waner was stunned. She was scolded by Gu Xuanyi's twin brother Gu Xiuwen for being shameless just a few days ago, and now she was scolded like this by Gu Xuanling. It was difficult not to make people suspect that it was Meng Jinyao who ordered it.

She was also annoyed, and chuckled with tears in her eyes: "Girl, even if I bumped into you accidentally, I just want to apologize to you, but I have no enmity with you, why do you humiliate me like this? If you want to vent your anger on my wife, I have nothing to say, my wife is brother Xiu Ming's mother, I should suffer whatever she does to me."

Gu Xuanyi was stunned and said angrily: "Who told you that I am going to vent my anger on Third Aunt? I simply can't stand you concubines crying all day long. Don't think that Third Brother is doting on you, and you are just a person. Third My aunt doesn’t even bother to put a stumbling block on her son’s concubine.”

As soon as Meng Jinyao approached, she heard such a sentence and was quite surprised. She didn't expect that Gu Xuanyi would speak for her. But listening to the meaning of this sentence, Li Waner probably said something to involve her. As for what she said, it was definitely not What nice words.

The last time I saw Gu Xuanyi bullying Gu Xuanling, her domineering look made people annoying. This time I saw her bullying Li Waner, I felt irritated for no reason.

It seems that whether a bully is annoying or not depends on the target of the bully.

She opened her lips and said, "Xuan Yi, what's the matter with you?"
