Yu Jinxi shook his head, "I haven't been in good health lately and I always go to bed early. I really don't have the energy to ring the clock."
The old lady pointed at Qingti and asked loudly, "What about her?"
Yu Jinxi said, "Old madam, although the sound of the Ben Bell is low, if you ring the Ben Bell in your yard, the whole house will hear it."
"But besides you, who else hears the sound of Ben clock?"
Hearing this, the old lady looked at Gu Qiheng in horror, "Son, you didn't hear that either?"
Gu Qiheng wanted to nod and say that he heard it, but he just hesitated for a moment. The old lady understood instantly. She touched her head, and her tears suddenly fell even more fiercely.
She saw herself in the mirror this morning. She had hair all around, but not in the middle. Her skin was very smooth, with not even a single hair stubble on her face. It obviously didn't look like it had been shaved, but touched by a ghost, commonly known as Ghost shaves his head.
Moreover, she clearly remembered getting out of bed last night, but when she woke up, she was in bed, which made things even weirder.
She really saw a ghost last night.
That was not a lie, a ghost really came to haunt her.
"Son, am I about to die? So the ghosts are coming to haunt me? They are coming, are Black and White coming soon?"
The old lady cried in panic and grabbed Gu Qiheng's clothes tightly, as if she was holding on to her own life-saving straw.
Gu Qiheng said quickly, "Mom, it's okay. This is all fake. Someone else must have harmed you. Don't worry, I will find the real culprit and give you an explanation."
Gu Qiheng said through gritted teeth, and the other person in his mouth also meant something.
But Yu Jinxi stood aside, as if he didn't hear it.
At this time, Gu Chengxuan on the side was also staring at Yu Jinxi, "Mother, why don't you speak? Grandma has suffered such a big crime, why don't you comfort her?"
The old lady hadn't noticed Yu Jinxi at first, but after being reminded by Gu Chengxuan, the old lady immediately looked at Yu Jinxi, and then her face, which was originally full of tears, suddenly turned violent.
"What are you doing here? It wasn't enough to beat me yesterday, but why did you come to my room today to watch my jokes? Get out of here...get out of here!"
Yu Jinxi didn't want to stay around at first, so he walked away after hearing this.
Gu Chengxuan said quietly, "Mother, it's not good for you to do this. It's too unfilial."
The old lady said, "Filial piety? I'm afraid the Yu family won't..."
Yu Jinxi suddenly looked back, his sharp eyes directed at the old lady.
He looked full of anger, as if yesterday's scene was reappearing in front of the old lady, and she was so frightened that she choked back the next words.
Yu Jinxi glanced at the old lady and then at Gu Chengxuan.
Gu Chengxuan took a step back in fright. At this moment, he suddenly felt that Yu Jinxi was much scarier than before.
…
Yu Jinxi just showed off to the old lady and never planned to go to her room again.
That night, the old lady was frightened and yelled again. When Gu Qiheng rushed over, the old lady dragged him and said that he had seen a ghost. However, Gu Qiheng looked left and right and almost demolished the house, but he did not see a ghost. film.
The old lady was so frightened that she cried and did not dare to sleep at all, so Gu Qiheng stayed with her all night.
That night, Gu Qiheng didn't even close his eyelids.
After finally staying up until the morning, the old lady finally fell asleep. Gu Qiheng was just about to go back to his room to catch up on his sleep, but the boy ran towards him quickly, shouting, "Sir, something serious has happened."
Gu Qiheng panicked and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
"It's... it's..." The boy gasped loudly, and Gu Qiheng almost jumped up in a hurry, "You should hurry up and say it!"
"It's what you asked me to inquire about before, and I found out."
The boy said, "There are rumors everywhere now that Mr. Ding not only buys and sells officials, but also dares to sell people. That murderous Mr. Ding has killed many people."
What happened later was just rumors, but when the words "buying and selling officials" came out, Gu Qiheng's face instantly turned pale.
This matter was finally suppressed, why was it brought up again?
Who could this Ding Yuyuan beat to death?
Why did he kill someone from the count's family?
"Sir, now the people are all guessing how many heads the emperor is going to chop off the Ding family this time."
"It is said that some students have already written a petition to complain. Because there is a pest like Mr. Ding in the court, students from poor families have no way out."
Hearing these words, Gu Qiheng's body trembled. Yu Jinxi was indeed right. As long as he was involved in this matter, his position as an official would be over.
At this time, there must be no mistakes. If someone gets caught, he will be completely ruined.
If Liu Ruyan wants to enter the house, she has to take a clear path, even if she is a cheap concubine, she has to endure it.
The last thing Yu Jinxi wanted to see was Gu Qiheng, but Gu Qiheng limped to her yard again.
Yu Jinxi didn't even raise her head and let Gu Qiheng sit down opposite her.
"She agreed. You should prepare and take her into the house."
Yu Jinxi pretended to be confused and asked, "Who?"
Gu Qiheng said impatiently, "Why are you pretending to be stupid? Yan'er wants to enter the house."
What a nice sentence, it sounds really affectionate.
Yu Jinxi said "Oh" in a long and drawn-out voice, "But you have to tell the old lady about this. Things in the house are not under my control now. I agree to the concubinage, but if you need to buy anything, I have to ask you." People decide.”
"You clearly know that my mother is sick now, what can she buy?"
Gu Qiheng looked at her dissatisfied, "You are the wife of the wife, how can you not buy anything?"
Yu Jinxi said, "When Miss Nayin came in, I had already pawned my last jewelry. I really had no money, and my dowry was also destroyed in the fire.
It was originally planned to move out, but you didn't want to move? Those things were moved back again, but they were all burned. Now there is really nothing to pawn. "
Gu Qiheng's face turned livid with anger. He looked Yu Jinxi up and down and found that she was dressed plainer than his mother. Her hair was covered with worthless silk flowers and she didn't even have a silver hairpin. He couldn't say that he couldn't put her Take off your clothes and use them as money? Besides, it's not worth much money.
Gu Qiheng came angrily and left angrily. Now he couldn't get any money from Yu Jinxi, and he didn't even bother to give him a good face.
But he didn't dare to offend Yu Jinxi to death, for fear that the relationship would become too tense and the Yu family would be unable to extend their hands.
And I don’t know what happened recently. There was no reply to the letters he sent to the Yu family’s parents. Either they disappeared, or they were returned intact. If you ask the reason, they could only return them because they couldn’t find the person.
Even if he personally sent people to stay in Dingzhou, there was no news.
He lost contact with the Yu family, and the emperor summoned him less and less during this period. He was almost not summoned in recent times, which made Gu Qiheng feel extremely panicked.
He didn't dare to kill Yu Jinxi and had to coax Liu Ruyan. Now he looked like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, no longer human inside or out.
