It was a holiday, and the one-day palace examination also started today.

According to the practice of this dynasty, the palace examination is usually completed and the results are released three days later. Unless there are special circumstances, the release time will be delayed.

Gu Xiuhong passed the examination before and took part in the palace examination today to see the final ranking in the palace examination. Everyone in the Gu family was nervous and looking forward to it. Even the servants hoped that the second young master would get a good rank in the exam. This would make the masters happy and they would become servants. You will also get a reward for such a happy event.

Anyway, today is a day off, and there is such an important event as the beginning of the palace examination. Everyone has a tacit understanding to go and greet Mrs. Gu. This way, the family can chat about daily life, and also talk about Xiuhong's palace examination today, although even the examination is not available. The exam has not been completed yet, but it does not hinder the discussion. After all, those who enter the palace exam are all Jinshi, and it depends on whether they are the first, second or third grade.

Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi had breakfast, and were about to go to Mrs. Gu's place when they suddenly heard a maid shouting outside the house: "Hey, which crazy woman are you from? Do you understand the rules? This is the place you can come. Really? Watch out for the Marquis and his wife to sell you out!

"Ah! It's a big girl. What's wrong with you? Hey, big girl!"

Big girl?

The couple were both stunned. The only person in the house who could be called the eldest girl by the maids was the married Gu Xuanyi. But even if Gu Xuanyi returned to her parents' home, she would go to the big room to find her elder brother and sister-in-law. She would not come to them. They You must have misunderstood.

However, immediately after, they heard Gu Xuanyi's crying voice: "Third uncle! Third aunt!"

Meng Jinyao was surprised: "Husband, it's really Xuan Yi. Why did she come back so early in the morning?"

Gu Jingxi also frowned. Just hearing that voice gave him a bad feeling. It came back so early in the morning, so something big must have happened.

He said: "Let's go out and see what's going on."

Meng Jinyao nodded and took steps forward. Before she could walk out of the house, she saw a young woman with disheveled hair running through the door. The next moment, she threw herself into her arms with precision.

Things happened so suddenly. Meng Jinyao was petite and a weak woman. She was almost thrown to the ground. Fortunately, Gu Jingxi reached out to hold her steady.

Meng Jinyao was obviously only one year older than her, but now Gu Xuanyi felt inexplicably at ease, as if she had grasped the only life-saving straw. After throwing herself into her arms, she collapsed emotionally and burst into tears.

Gu Jingxi was about to pull his niece away, but when he saw her crying loudly, he silently retracted the hand he had just extended.

Meng Jinyao was originally confused when Gu Xuanyi rushed towards her like this. Now holding her, burying herself in her arms and breaking down crying was something she had never expected. She was confused again. She looked up at Gu Jingxi with blank eyes. .

Gu Jingxi frowned and shook his head slightly. He didn't know what happened to his niece. Even if he was wronged at his in-laws' house, he should go to his eldest brother and sister-in-law. What does it mean to cry to Ayao? Ayao is not Xuan Yi's mother, and she has never seen how close their relationship is before.

Meng Jinyao lowered her head and saw that she was bent over, with her face buried in her arms, crying so hard that she was out of breath, her hair disheveled, and even her usual dignity was gone, so she knew that something bad must have happened to her. , patted her back gently, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Xuan Yi, don't cry first. Tell your third aunt first, what happened?"

Gu Xuanyi couldn't stop crying at all. She burst into tears and cried loudly, as if she wanted to cry out all the accumulated grievances.

Meng Jinyao had no choice but to let her cry and wait until she had cried enough before questioning her. As for notifying the big house, she couldn't do it for the time being. If she could bypass her biological parents and come here directly to find them, there must be something unspeakable. .

After a long time, Gu Xuanyi seemed to have had enough crying. She slowly raised her head, looked at Meng Jinyao with tearful eyes, and choked with sobs: "Third Aunt, please save me. Only you and Third Uncle can save me. My father and mother can't save me." They will agree with my decision, but they will definitely not agree.”

Her hair was disheveled. When she came in, she quickly threw herself into his arms. Meng Jinyao didn't even see her face clearly. Now that she was close, she discovered the problem.

Meng Jinyao suddenly opened her eyes wide and was shocked.

this--

The corners of his eyes were bruised, the corners of his mouth were cut, there were bruises around the wounds, and the left side of his face was swollen, all caused by violence.

Xuan Yi is the eldest wife of Wu Anbo Mansion. Who dares to use such violence against her? The only people who could beat Xuan Yi were members of her husband's family, but the father-in-law and mother-in-law would definitely not do anything to Xuan Yi. The sister-in-law and brother-in-law would not beat Xuan Yi like this if they had conflicts with her. Prince Wu'an, a husband, would do this.

When Gu Jingxi saw the injuries on his niece's face, he frowned even more tightly, and anger arose in his heart. Even if the Gu family's children had done something wrong, they couldn't be beaten to this point. This was not only beating Xuan Yi, but also Slap the Gu family in the face. If there is a problem, the two families should talk it over together. If the problem can be solved, solve it. If it cannot be solved, divorce.

Even though Meng Jinyao didn't like this arrogant and domineering niece before, she felt heartbroken when she saw Xuan Yi like this.

As a woman, she felt sorry for a woman who had suffered domestic violence. She reached out and wanted to touch Xuan Yi's face, but she was afraid of hurting Xuan Yi, so she had to touch Xuan Yi's head instead and comfort her silently.

She asked softly: "Xuan Yi, tell Third Aunt, are these injuries on your face caused by your uncle?"

When someone mentioned her husband, Gu Xuanyi trembled instinctively, with a look of panic in her eyes.

Seeing this, there was no need to ask anymore. Meng Jinyao was sure that it was really Prince Wu An who beat Xuan Yi. The last time Xuan Yi ran back to her parents' home, Prince Wu An chased her and stayed overnight with Xuan Yi at Gu's house. The second time When Tian went to Shou'an Hall to pay respects to the elders, she felt that the uncle didn't even look at Xuan Yi when he was talking, so she felt a little strange. She also reported this problem to her sister-in-law afterwards, but the sister-in-law said that her uncle was very good and very nice. She loves Xuan Yi, but she just thinks that she is suspicious.

I never thought, how long has it been? This eldest son-in-law who loved Xuan Yi actually took action against Xuan Yi.

Gu Xuanyi knelt down and begged: "Third uncle, third aunt, please save me. Can you help me reconcile?"

Meng Jinyao hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her up, but she insisted on kneeling and she was not strong enough to help her up, so she had to say: "Xuanyi, get up and talk first. Even if you want to reconcile, it must be your parents." Make the decision, where did your third uncle and I take the decision?"

Gu Xuanyi lowered her eyes and replied: "When I come back, my servants are not allowed to inform my parents. They don't know about it yet. Moreover, I have also had a divorce before. They are all opposed to it and don't allow me to divorce, especially Father, he probably would rather I die at my husband's house than agree to Heli, because he feels that Heli is an embarrassment to him."

After she finished speaking, something suddenly occurred to her. She said with sincerity and a firm tone: "Third uncle, third aunt, please save me. I will be your daughter. I will not get married in the future. I will stay with you." , I will be filial to you all my life and provide for you until you die."

Meng Jinyao: "???"

You just sent away a rebellious son, and now you have a disobedient daughter coming to your doorstep? Does this naughty kid want to repay a favor, or is he preparing to repay a favor with an enemy?

Gu Jingxi was also stunned for a moment, then turned to say in a deep voice: "Xuan Yi, if there is anything you need to do, get up and discuss the countermeasures with your elders. How do you behave like this now?"
