Gu Qiheng was stared at by her, and he was still a little weak. He couldn't care less about his anger at the moment, and shouted coldly, "Why are you looking at me like this? What are you going to do?"
Liu Ruyan beat the old lady until she couldn't get up. Seeing that Gu Qiheng took the initiative to open her mouth, she walked towards him with her feet raised, her face extremely cold.
"What should I do?"
Liu Ruyan stared at Gu Qiheng and said through gritted teeth, "I will give you back all the suffering Xuan'er suffered."
"you dare……"
Gu Qiheng didn't even scream when he was slapped hard by Liu Ruyan.
"This slap is for betraying your trust."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ruyan rounded his arms and slapped him hard again.
"This slap is a slap to your heart."
Gu Qiheng was stunned. Because of the pain in his lower body, he had no power to fight back.
Liu Ruyan became more and more angry, and her attacks became more and more cruel. The corners of Gu Qiheng's mouth bleeded when he was beaten, and it was difficult to speak.
But Liu Ruyan did not relieve her anger and stepped hard on Gu Qiheng's injury.
Gu Qiheng howled in pain, but Liu Ruyan did not soften her heart. Thinking of what Gu Chengxuan might have experienced in the past two days, she worked harder.
Until Gu Qiheng passed out from the pain, she lost all strength, and finally walked out of the house with a dejected look.
Looking at the fireworks that were still blooming not far away, Liu Ruyan's face became moist.
She didn't know whether her current choice was correct or not. She only knew that she wanted to make amends and didn't want her only son to end up in such a miserable end.
She regretted not grabbing Gu Chengxuan's hand at that time, scratching her liver day and night, wishing she could be quartered.
In contrast, Gu Qiheng, who had personally sent Gu Chengxuan out, was still drunk in the house, indulging in the tenderness of other women. At this moment, she went crazy with hatred. Her friendship with Gu Qiheng did not exist at all, and she wished she could give him away. Chopped alive.
In the small courtyard, Yu Jinxi was watching the fireworks on the porch. Master Yan walked quickly to her side and whispered, "Miss, Gu Qiheng has passed out. Do you want to call a doctor?"
Yu Jinxi asked in a calm tone, "Why did you faint so well?"
"Aunt Liu beat me!"
Master Yan said truthfully, "I don't know why there was a conflict. Aunt Liu not only beat Gu Qiheng, but the old lady was also beaten very seriously. She is crying in the room right now."
Yu Jinxi's expression did not change, "Just cry. I haven't heard that crying can kill people. It's the Chinese New Year, so it's time to cry for her late husband who has been dead for many years. It's time to burn incense and worship Buddha, so that her son can survive this. New Year, so as not to die early, it is unlucky to give gifts to black-haired people if they are white-haired!"
Master Yan understood. Yu Jinxi did not want Gu Qiheng to die, but he also did not want him to have an easy life.
Master Yan didn't delay, he did it right away.
Yu Jinxi was originally in a good mood. When he heard about Gu Qiheng, he felt like a fly suddenly fell into a perfectly good bowl of porridge. Although he hadn't eaten it yet, it was still disgusting.
She lost interest in watching the fireworks and turned around to enter the house. As soon as she entered, the door behind her suddenly closed.
She thought it was Qingti, and just asked her not to close the door, but in the blink of an eye she saw Yanhuai standing at the door.
Yu Jinxi's eyes brightened unconsciously, "Why are you here?"
Yanhuai walked over to her and sat down, "The banquet in the palace is not interesting, so we might as well come here to have snacks."
Yu Jinxi poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Have you met the second prince?"
Yan Huai laughed and said, "How can a family dinner be without him? He's so weird that there's nothing good to say about him. I just didn't let him go."
"In front of the eldest prince, the emperor is still sitting on the dragon throne. He is too close and he does not dare to talk back."
Seeing that he was too arrogant, Yu Jinxi reminded him, "Don't be too presumptuous. After all, the second prince is the emperor's biological son, and you are just his nephew. After all, there is a difference."
Yanhuai said, "Privately, he wants to kill me. But publicly, he can only punish his own son. After all, his brother is still guarding the border."
"Uncle Yen's contribution to guarding the border is not for you to use like this!"
Yu Jinxi's tone was quite helpless, but Yanhuai said, "I don't have to worry about him even if I don't have to, so why don't I use it first and then talk about it."
Yu Jinxi asked again, "Didn't we have to stay up late in the past years? This year, if you run away first, will the emperor be happy?"
Yan Huai said, "The third prince's leg is not good. He was not present at the banquet this year. The emperor felt uncomfortable, so I said I would go see him and came out."
"Then why didn't you go see the third prince? Aren't you afraid that the second prince will turn around and accuse you of deceiving the emperor?"
"The Third Prince is not short of company now, so I won't join in the fun."
Hearing him talk about this, Yu Jinxi finally remembered that Zhang Suying was engaged to the third prince. She was afraid that he would be lonely, so it made sense to go to the third prince's mansion to accompany him.
Before Yu Jinxi could speak, Yanhuai said again, "Aren't you going to celebrate the New Year alone this year? Wouldn't it be better for me to accompany you?"
"How can I be alone? There are so many people in the yard!"
"There are many people outside, but you are not alone in the house?"
Yu Jinxi was struck by what he said and pursed his lips without saying a word.
In previous years, the Yu family was always a lively family.
Later, at the Gu family, she served the old lady, accompanied Gu Qiheng, and coaxed Gu Chengxuan. She took care of the Gu family from top to bottom, but neglected herself.
It's been a lot easier this year. She is alone with her servants. She doesn't have to take care of anyone. She just wants to be happy. She looks very happy, but she always feels like something is missing.
I didn't think it was anything at first, but after seeing what Yanhuai was doing sitting here, the loss really became apparent.
It turns out that the feeling of loss is because I miss my father and my mother!
Yu Jinxi suppressed his longing and asked Yanhuai, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
Yan Huai said, "I don't choose what to eat. The food at the palace banquet is not delicious. I only drank wine. I am really hungry now."
Yu Jinxi rolled her eyes at him, "Are you really good at it? You're still injured, so you just drink?"
"Flirtation!"
Yu Jinxi pretended not to hear what Yanhuai said, got up, walked to the door, and asked Zhang's mother to deliver food.
Zhang's mother didn't ask anything, turned around and went to the kitchen.
Yu Jinxi closed the door again, walked back and sat down again, taking some dried fruits and eating them.
"Didn't you have enough to eat tonight?"
"No. I just want to eat."
"Still as greedy as when I was little."
"the same as you."
The two of them talked without saying a word, and soon Mother Zhang brought the hot dishes in.
"You don't want to eat?"
When Yanhuai saw that Yu Jinxi didn't move, he said, "You have to stay up late for a while, why don't you take care of your stomach?"
"I am full."
Yu Jinxi raised his eyes and looked out the window. Qingti and Bicao stopped setting off firecrackers, and the sound of fireworks was gone.
"Look, it's quiet outside. It doesn't look like a Chinese New Year at all. It's really a storm that's about to come!"
Yanhuai said solemnly, "It's their storm, not ours!"
