Chapter 56 Betrayal
Gu Xiujing didn’t speak, but the hesitation on his face didn’t seem like he was thinking.
Gu’s mother thought about his abnormality during this period, and thought of Jiang Luo, the second daughter of the Jiang family. As if he understood something, he was shocked.
She looked Gu Xiujing up and down, and then asked the woman behind her to serve everyone to go down.
When there was no one in the room, he got up and closed the door himself before asking solemnly: “Xiu Jing, tell the truth to your mother, are you thinking about the two girls in Jiang’s house?”
If this is the case, this pro will retire no matter what.
E Huang Nvying’s matter must not appear in her house.
This is the root of trouble.
Mother Gu’s words were like a slap in the face of Gu Xiujing.
Her stern gaze almost made Gu Xiujing unable to lift her head.
Outside the window, there are birds chirping and stopping on the cherry tree in the yard, and the leaves are rustling when the wind blows.
The bright red fruit fell to the ground.
Gu Xiujing remembered that when she was young, she fell from a tree to pick cherries for Jiang Changning, who came to the house as a guest.
At that time, Jiang Changning was so scared that he even forgot how to cry.
“No.” Gu Xiujing’s eyes looked out the window, his voice seemed to be wrapped in wind and sand, vague and inaudible: “Mother, let me meet Jiang Changning and talk about the divorce.”
“That’s fine.” Gu’s mother nodded. The two families have been in contact for a long time, and it is naturally the best result to settle this matter without tearing their faces.
Mother Jiang returned to the mansion with an uneasy expression, and went to Jiang Changning’s yard as soon as she turned around.
She angrily told Jiang Changning what Gu’s mother said, but Jiang Changning heard it as expected.
Because of embarrassment, the real and false prostitutes are making troubles, and they didn’t come to the house to withdraw their marriage when the city was full of storms. It is also because of the heavy face that he did not easily agree to Jiang’s mother’s request to withdraw the marriage.
“Parents’ beloved sons have far-reaching plans for it, and Mrs. Gu’s actions are justifiable.” Jiang Changning held Jiang’s mother’s hand and comforted softly: “Besides, the matter of retiring the engagement cannot be resolved in just one or two sentences. Gu Madam is reasonable and kind, if Mr. Gu has no intention of this marriage, she will not force it. Don’t worry, mother, we will see what Mr. Gu has to say.”
Mother Jiang didn’t understand what Jiang Changning said. In fact, in the final analysis, this matter is still at my own fault.
From the beginning to the end, there was nothing wrong with the Gu family.
Bringing off the marriage this time, it is estimated that the relationship with Gu’s family will also be broken.
Mother Jiang sighed, and regretted her impulsiveness for a while.
Hong Xing came in with a plate of washed cherries.
Jiang Changning took one and handed it to Mother Jiang. The girl’s hands were white and slender, holding a bright red cherry that was indescribably beautiful.
The bit of regret in Mother Jiang’s heart disappeared.
That’s all, what Ning’s sister said is right, but the parents’ beloved son has a far-reaching plan for it.
As a mother, I always have to take care of my children more.
Gu Xiujing’s letter came very quickly, and the letter was very short. Let Jiang Changning go out of the house for a talk in two days.
Hong Xing knew the contents of the letter, and looked at Jiang Changning worriedly.
She already knew about the old lady going to Gu’s residence to withdraw the engagement. Now Mr. Gu is privately asking the girl to go out of the house, but he doesn’t know what to pay attention to.
Right now, the marriage is about to fail. At such a juncture, it is natural to avoid
Mr. Gu is a scholar, how can he not even understand this truth.
“Is Gu Yan still there?”
“Ms. Hui, I’m still waiting at the gate of the mansion.”
Jiang Changning nodded, thought for a while and handed the letter to Hongxing.
“Deal with the letter and return it to Gu Yan for me.”
“Yes, girl.” Hong Xing put a heart into her stomach, she took the letter from Jiang Changning, and was about to go out with high spirits.
“etc.”
Hong Xing raised her heart again.
But saw Jiang Changning looking out the window, there was a little girl with an immature face squatting under a tree with her head down, counting ants.
“Let her go.”
Although she was puzzled, Hong Xing walked up to the little girl with the letter.
“What are u doing?”
Hong Xing’s sudden noise startled the little girl, she trembled and took two steps back, if it wasn’t for Hong Xing to support her, she might fall down.
“Sister Hongxing.” The little girl called out sexually, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands uneasily, not daring to raise her head.
Hong Xing hummed, stepped forward and looked down.
The ground is full of ants like twisted black lines, which makes one’s scalp numb.
Hong Xing frowned and was about to speak admonishing, but felt that the candies eaten by ants looked familiar.
Hongxing took a closer look, and it looked like a snack from Baoweizhai.
As a maidservant, Hong Xing is very sure that she is by the girl’s side every step of the way. She has never seen a girl use this kind of dessert recently.
And this kind of dessert costs a few taels of silver.
No one in this yard can afford it except Jiang Changning.
Just this penniless little girl, how could there be such a good thing.
Since it is not from the yard, it must have been obtained elsewhere.
“Where did you get this thing?!” Hong Xing said with a straight face and stern eyes.
Since the last time Jiang Luo brought people to make a fuss, Hong Xing is wary, and what she hates the most is that there are people who eat inside and outside.
Letting Qinghe go to the second girl’s side is just to guard against the second girl.
If the other party is honest, then naturally everything will be fine.
Don’t have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to prevent others.
The little girl has shallow eyelids, so it’s unknown if someone bought her with good things.
The girl’s name is A Yuan, and she is less than ten years old. Unlike the name, he has a long, yellow complexion and a short stature.
When he first entered the mansion, he was almost bullied to death by those old mothers. It was Qinghe who accidentally encountered pity, and asked Jiang Changning to come over after saying a word in front of Jiang Changning.
Because of her young age, she was not asked to do any heavy work.
Just sweeping the floor in the courtyard, cleaning the window sills and so on.
Although Hongxing has a lively personality in front of Jiang Changning, she has a strict side in front of these little girls.
Then Ah Yuan was afraid of her, but now she was stared at by Hong Xing’s big eyes and cried and said everything: “Yes… sister Qinghe gave it to me.”
It turned out to be Qinghe?
Hong Xing was stunned for a moment, she seemed to be in disbelief and asked again: “Did Qing He really give it to you?”
Ah Yuan nodded while wiping away tears, sobbing.
Hong Xing’s heart sank, she tightly squeezed the letter in her hand, and asked unwillingly: “Does Qinghe often give you candy?
“yes.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me?”
A Yuan’s eyes were red from crying, and she lowered her head in fear: “Sister Qinghe told me that if you let the girl and sister Hongxing know, you can no longer give me candy.”
After hearing Ah Yuan’s words, Hong Xing bit her lip tightly, feeling both angry and disappointed.
Since Qinghe went to Jiang Luo’s side, except for looking for the girl twice at the beginning. It has been a long time since I have been to this yard.
She didn’t look for herself and the girl when she had something to do. Instead, she secretly made friends with an unremarkable little girl in the girl’s courtyard. Hongxing doesn’t believe that she would do something aimless.
Who she is doing this for, the result is obvious.
