Reincarnated vassal system

On the way back to Dongyuan from Shou'an Courtyard, Mrs. Gu and Gu Huai's mother and son were not far apart, but there seemed to be a thick barrier between them. Aunt Mei Zhu and Chang Minyuan Yuan Di followed behind, feeling very helpless about the situation. They looked at each other and sighed silently in their hearts.

The matter between these two masters, as servants, no matter how close they are with the master in normal times, it is not appropriate for them to open their mouths at this time.In the eyes of outsiders, the mother and son of the Gu family have always been close. Since Gu Huai came back from the yamen late, Shi Xinru would always worry about it, and it was obvious from asking questions from time to time.But in fact, the relationship between the two is on thin ice. Gu Huai is not disrespectful to his biological mother, but some things have been between mother and son for many years, which has become a heart disease that they cannot let go of.

The two were silent all the way, and finally arrived at the gate of the courtyard where Shi Xinru lived.Shi Xinru lives in a three-entry courtyard closest to the main house in Dongyuan. The courtyard is called Ningxinyuan.

"Mother, my son will send you in to rest." Gu Huai didn't say goodbye to Shi Xinru, his expression couldn't be seen clearly in the night, but his voice was very sincere.

"No need." Mrs. Gu's expression was cold, she couldn't tell that this was the mother who loved her son so much and was worried about insomnia because her son came home late.She looked at her way forward expressionlessly, and took a few steps forward.At this moment, the system's alarm sounded "beep--" and at the same time Mrs. Gu suddenly turned around, raised her hand and slapped her son hard.

"Slap!" A crisp slap sounded in the dark inner courtyard of Duke Wei's Mansion, and Gu Huai's face was slapped aside, which was enough to see Shi Xinru's strength.Aunt Mei Zhu on the side was startled by the sudden change and exclaimed softly, and hurried up to stop Shi Xinru, "Ma'am, ma'am..."

"You executioner, how dare you appear in front of me?" Just now, the indifferent face was like an illusion. At this time, Shi Xinru's eyes widened, and the eyes were red. Looking at Gu Huai, the eyes were full of hatred. "Rebel! Murderer!"

She desperately wanted to break away from Aunt Mei Zhu, how could Aunt Mei Zhu's strength be restrained by Aunt Mei Zhu, a tea-serving nun who only had to serve the hostess next to her on weekdays, and Chang Min didn't dare to step forward, lest she accidentally Hurt Mrs.

But within a few breaths, Shi Xinru had already broken free, without the slightest attitude of a noble lady, her eyes were red, her expression was ferocious, she rushed towards Gu Huai with a vicious attitude, and she kept uttering "hohoo" Voice, "I want your life, my son's life—ah!"

Gu Huai stood there quietly, without making any dodge movements, letting the system's siren keep beeping, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

But at the very moment, a black shadow flashed by, and Shi Xinru, who was about to pounce on Gu Huai, suddenly fell down. Gu Huai hurriedly supported his mother, lest she fall down.After supporting Mrs. Gu safely, when Gu Huai raised his head again, there was no one in front of him except Chang Min and Aunt Mei Zhu, only the tip of his nose seemed to have a scent left by that person.

Aunt Mei Zhu burst into tears, she felt relieved when she saw that the third young master was fine, but in the blink of an eye, Madam fainted, she hurriedly stepped forward to support Shi Xinru, "Madam, this is..."

"Mom is fine," Gu Huai checked for his mother by the candle lamp on the side of the road, and found that the man just stabbed his mother with a hand knife to make her faint temporarily.His heart relaxed slightly, "Aunt Mei Zhu, take mother back to Ningxinyuan to rest." He paused, "Chang Min, you also go together."

"Master, are you... not together?" Chang Min asked cautiously, his master is not a heartless person, how could he ignore his mother after she fainted, but he immediately thought of Mrs. Cai's behavior just now, and couldn't bear it.

"If my mother wakes up and sees me, it might not be a good thing." Gu Huai looked at the other side of the road back to the courtyard where he lived, and stepped on it without looking back, "Chang Min, you should stay with your mother today. Just wait there, Aunt Mei Zhu, please forgive me."

"Young Master, you are welcome. You should go back to rest earlier." Aunt Mei Zhu watched Gu Huai go away alone, his back gradually disappearing into the darkness, she seemed to be lonely, and her heart was full of pity for her young master. The mother and son, who had never met each other, broke up unhappy because of his wife's illness.

Aunt Mei Zhu and Chang Min supported Shi Xinru into the Ningxin Courtyard, but there were only four or five people in the courtyard of the grand mistress of Duke Wei's Mansion, and no one would believe it.

It is said that after Shi Xinru got sick back then, the servants in Ningxin Courtyard were replaced by the old lady, under the pretense of finding some clever servants to take care of Mrs. Gu, but in fact, no one knew that they were sent here Shi Xinru was guarding her, but when Shi Xinru became ill, she denied her relatives and hurt others, but no one dared to fight back.

Gradually, those people found that this job was really not a good one, so they found various reasons to go elsewhere, and gradually they all left, but the old lady didn't send anyone over, and those who are still staying in Ningxin Yuan are all Shi Xinru The aunt and maid who came over as a dowry back then are gone.

Just now, Gu Huai's mother and son were making a fuss at the gate of Ningxin Courtyard. The servants in the courtyard heard it, but they didn't dare to go forward. Now seeing Aunt Mei Zhu helping his wife in, they all came out to help. After a while, Shi Xinru After being well served and laid on the bed, Aunt Mei Zhu saw that the master was lying down, and let everyone disperse, and she rested herself on the small couch in the side room next to the master bedroom.

The Ningxin courtyard gradually returned to tranquility. At this time, the person who should have been sleeping deeply on the master bedroom slowly opened his eyes, and the eyes could not be seen clearly in the night.

Gu Huai on the other side walked back to his residence alone, and You Wu was awakened by the siren, and kept talking about him. "Why don't you hide! Oh! Little Gu Huai—and this broken system, how can it react so slowly, can't even detect other people's malice, really!"

Instead, Gu Huai persuaded him, "I'm fine, my mother has no ill intentions towards me."

"You..." You Wu hated iron and steel very much, "You have died once, why do you still have such a short memory!"

Gu Huai shook his head and quietly returned to his residence.He lives in the most remote corner of Duke Wei's mansion. It's a small two-story building called the guest building. It's a bit shabby compared to Ningxinyuan. Only Chang Min works as a book boy and a servant at the same time. .

Mrs. Gu never concealed the fact that she treated the first room poorly. The second room was very powerful, and the subordinates pretended to be powerful. On weekdays, the people in the first room were never polite, and no one even cleaned the door of this guest building on weekdays.

But in the guest building tonight, an unexpected guest came.

[Subquest: Thigh Hugging: Talk about life with Jin Thigh.Reward: 10 achievement points. 】

Gu Huai lit the candle, then slowly covered the lampshade, and when he turned around, he saw a man in black appearing in front of him.The thief was short in stature, and his eyes were shining brightly in the candlelight behind the black mask.

"The lord visited the humble house late at night, and the humble minister was far away, and was terrified." Gu Huai said in his mouth, but there was no trace of panic in his tone, but a hint of smile.

"I'm covering my face." Shang Zhi's voice was light, but Gu Huai heard a trace of doubt and grievance inexplicably, as if he didn't understand how Gu Huai guessed it was him again.

"I saw it." Gu Huai's answer was similar to last time, he naturally would not tell Prince Rui that the cold fragrance on his body betrayed him, he brushed the non-existing dust on the chair beside him, "My lord, please Sit down, I will serve you tea."

"No need." Shang Zhi simply sat down, tore off the black face scarf and threw it aside, revealing that delicate but bloodless little face. "sit."

Gu Huai sat down as he said.

"You're not at all curious about why this king came here." Shang Zhi's face, which looked like a 12-year-old boy's, looked even more immature in the candlelight, and against the backdrop of his black night clothes, he looked even weaker and smaller.

"The lord has his own decisions, and there is no need to explain it to outsiders." Gu Huai's answer was flawless.

Rather cautious.Shangzhi directly changed the topic, "That crazy... who is that woman?" His words circled in his mouth, and he immediately changed his words. He remembered the rumors about the young lady of the Gu family. Gu Huai's biological mother and sister of Zhenyuan Hou Shifeng.

Sure enough, Gu Huai didn't hide much, as if he didn't hear the half of the word "crazy" that Shang Zhi blurted out, and his tone still showed respect for the superior. "I haven't thanked the prince yet, but thanked the prince for lending a helping hand just now. That is my mother."

"Then what if she wants you to pay for her son's life?" Shang Zhi asked directly without hesitation.

As a high-ranking prince, he naturally doesn't need to look forward and backward like Gu Huai when he speaks and does things, and he doesn't mind exposing the fact that he heard all the conversations.When Gu Huai was asked directly, his expression did not change, and there was no displeasure on his face, but his tone was still a little bit lighter, "Mother occasionally talks nonsense when she is unconscious, please take care of it, Your Highness."

"Well——" Shang Zhi pondered for a while, then stood up suddenly, "That's how it is." He covered the black face scarf on his face, and approached Gu Huai, who was about to stand up just now. The momentary momentum overwhelmed Gu Huai and sat down again. "You can really talk." He still had no expression on his face, turned around and walked to the window, then looked back at Gu Huai, "Farewell."

With that said, he jumped out of the window!

This is the second floor!Gu Huai rushed to the window and looked down, but there was only darkness as far as his eyes could see.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Huai rushed to the gate of the Shou'an Courtyard early. Last night, he had to go to sleep until the third watch, and he had to get up early to pay his respects on the holidays. Today, he was very depressed.

When he arrived at the Shou'an Courtyard, Gu Huai stuffed a piece of broken silver into the third-class maid in front of the gate of the courtyard, and the maid gathered the silver before going in to inform him.Gu Huai waited outside for a long time, but no one came out, so he understood that the old lady wanted to embarrass him again.

Sure enough, about a quarter of an hour later, the servant girl came out with her face up, her expression was full of disdain and impatience, "The old lady hasn't got up yet, please trouble the third young master to wait here for a while."

[Main task: counterattack the second room—specific operation: leave.Bonus: Think about your death! 】

Gu Huai looked at Shou'an Courtyard, and Du Liyu and Gu Zhiyi's chatter and laughter could clearly be heard inside, louder than usual, with a sense of bragging rights.Gu Huai covered his eyes, then raised his eyes and cast a sideways glance at the third-class maid, then turned and left.

"You, how are you going..." The servant girl saw that Gu Huai had flung her sleeves and left. In a hurry, she even forgot her honorific address. Gu Huai turned her head and gave her a cold look, and she immediately fell silent as if she had been strangled by the throat. .

Gu Huai, who was leaving, had no expression on his face, but his heart was filled with coolness. How did he die?Du's lineage's clumsy humiliating methods, I didn't realize it in my previous life, I'm so stupid!
