Gu Xi frowned, "Gu Yue, I really don't believe you. Tell me, did you deliberately lose face yesterday?"
"No!"
"you are lying!"
"I don't."
"You're just lying!" Gu Xi shouted excitedly.
Gu Yue started to cry.
Gu Xi was stunned, "Gu Yue, don't cry. I know, my attitude was a little fierce just now. But can you tell me the truth? Do you have something to hide? Tell me and I will solve it for you."
Gu Yue sobbed, "I have nothing to hide, everything I said is true."
"Then why did you lie?"
"I didn't lie! Gu Xi, I hate you!" Gu Yue rushed towards Gu Xi.
Gu Xi couldn't dodge and was hugged by Gu Yue, "I hate you!"
"Gu Yue, you are crazy!" Gu Xi was frightened.
Gu Yue opened her mouth and bit the clothes on Gu Xi's shoulders until she tasted blood.
Only then did she let go, with tears streaming down her face, "I hate you. I hate you so much. Gu Xi, how can you be so cruel? Our surname is Gu, how can you bear to harm me? I can't live anymore, so just let me die." Got it!"
Gu Yue started to commit suicide again.
Gu Xi hurriedly held Gu Yue down and said, "Calm down. Gu Yue, we have something to talk about. Please let go first."
"Get out, get away from me. I don't want to see you again!"
Gu Xi looked helpless, and she didn't want to see Gu Yue.
But she had to stay, "Gu Yue, don't be impulsive. Can you calm down? I know you feel uncomfortable. I also know that you blame me, hate me, and even hate me.
But Gu Yue, I really hope you will be well. Don't do anything stupid. If you die, I won't live either. If we both die at the same time, my parents will definitely be sad. "
"Woooooooo..."
Gu Yue cried loudly.
Gu Xi was so anxious that he was running around in circles.
Gu Yue burst into tears.
Gu Xi was so frightened that she quickly comforted her, "Don't cry! If you have any grievances, tell me and I will help you vent your anger."
"Wow..."
Gu Yue cried so hard that her heart was broken and her heart was broken.
Crying and crying, Gu Yue fainted on the ground.
Gu Xi was frightened.
Gu Yue is weak and cannot be angry. Now Gu Yue fainted again. I wonder if her body can bear it?
Gu Xi quickly called the maid and asked the doctor, and then went to find Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng rushed over and took Gu Yue's pulse, "It's okay, it's just that the mood swings were too big and caused fainting. Just rest for a few days and it will be fine."
"What about her face?" Gu Xi pointed at Gu Yue's face.
Gu Cheng said: "This child is unwilling to face reality and wants to die. In this case, let her go."
"But her face—"
Gu Cheng sighed, "When she wakes up, talk to her. If she insists on dying, agree to it. You can't force someone to die."
"Then will she hate me in the future?"
Gu Cheng patted Gu Xi's head and said, "You think too much. She can't bear to hate you."
"Then I'll go and persuade her?"
Gu Cheng nodded and told Gu Xi, "She just woke up and is weak. You'd better not irritate her. In addition, her current condition is a bit strange. Please pay more attention to her condition."
"I know, I remember."
"I have to go to the county government tonight, so I won't stay to take care of Gu Yue. I'll leave this to you. You must keep an eye on her."
"I understand. Second uncle, go quickly."
"Okay, be careful."
Gu Cheng left, and Gu Xi kept vigil alone.
She sat at the table and looked at Gu Yue in a daze.
"You shouldn't torture yourself like this. If you die, who will protect me? I don't want to die!" Gu Xi muttered to himself.
…
Gu Yao woke up early, washed up, and prepared to go out.
"Grandma Fourth Aunt, where are you going?" The maid stopped Gu Yao.
Gu Yao said: "I'm going to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to visit Mr. Lu."
The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandma Fourth Aunt, I have an unkind request. I hope Grandma Fourth Aunt can fulfill it."
"you say."
"The old lady asked the kitchen to cook bird's nest porridge. Fourth aunt's grandma brought some to deliver to Mr. Lu."
"I've already eaten." Gu Yao refused.
The maid looked like she was hesitating to speak and said, "But this matter concerns the old lady."
Gu Yao raised her eyebrows, "Oh?"
The maid said: "Yesterday, the old lady specially ordered the kitchen to make porridge and stew soup."
"What do you mean?"
The maid hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "The old lady said that if the fourth aunt doesn't go to see Lord Lu, she will move to the ancestral hall within this year."
Gu Yao narrowed her eyes and snorted coldly, "Are you threatening me?"
The maid quickly knelt down and said in horror: "I don't dare, this slave."
"What are you afraid of?" Gu Yao asked, "You also know my mother's temper. Do you think you can stop me from seeing him in this way?"
The maid kowtowed, "I beg Fourth Aunt Grandma to forgive me. I didn't mean to offend Fourth Aunt Grandma. I was just following orders."
"I understand what you mean. You are afraid that if I marry into the Lu family, I will lose the old lady's favor and steal her glory."
The maid lowered her head and remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
The corners of Gu Yao's lips curved up with sarcasm, "Don't worry, I won't compete with you for your favor. I don't care about it. If I did, I wouldn't have broken off the engagement in the first place."
"Is what Grandma Fourth Aunt said true?"
"It's absolutely true. Go back and tell my mother, let her rest assured and don't worry that I will compete with her for favor."
"Thank you, Grandma Fourth Aunt. I will go back and report to the old lady right away."
The maid was very happy.
As long as Gu Yao is willing to compromise, Gu Yue can be saved.
Gu Yao snorted coldly and walked towards the front yard.
"Fourth sister!"
Gu Rui chased after her, holding two boxes of pastries in her hand and handing them to Gu Yao, "I heard that Mr. Lu likes sweets, so I bought some pastries and my fourth sister gave them to Mr. Lu to taste."
Gu Yao frowned slightly, "Don't you dislike Lord Lu?"
Gu Rui looked embarrassed, "Fourth sister misunderstood me. In fact, I admire Mr. Lu very much, but I can't express it because of my face. If fourth sister is in trouble, just go to Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu will definitely help you. .”
"Then I'll accept it."
Gu Yao took the snack box from Gu Rui's hand with a smile.
Gu Rui was extremely happy.
She was worried about how to get along with Gu Yao, but Gu Yao took the initiative to show her kindness.
Gu Rui was very happy.
Gu Shan walked in from the outside and frowned when she saw the snack box in Gu Yao's hand, "Fourth sister, what are you doing? This is a pastry given to you by the fifth sister. Why do you use it to show your courtesy? You are beating the fifth sister. Face."
Gu Yao smiled half-heartedly, "Third sister, you are right. This is indeed a cake given to me by fifth sister. I originally wanted to give it to you. Since third sister doesn't like it, I will take it back."
"You're talking nonsense! You actually took Fifth Sister's things and gave them away. It's a shame."
Gu Shan glared at Gu Yao, "Hurry up and return the snacks to Fifth Sister. These snacks are made by Fifth Sister to honor her grandmother, and they are not suitable for just anyone to eat."
Gu Shan deliberately targeted Gu Yue.
Gu Yao chuckled lightly and put the snacks into her sleeves, "Third sister, we each have our own abilities. These snacks are given by fifth sister to honor her grandmother, and I will not take them back again."
"You!" Gu Shan was so angry that she jumped, "Are you worthy of your father and fifth sister by doing this?"
Gu Yao sneered, "Third sister, I don't like to hear what you are saying. My father is the elder, and the fifth sister is the junior. It is a gift from an elder, and I dare not refuse it, let alone a birthday gift from my grandmother. Fifth sister is not sensible, don't you? Don’t you understand the rules too?”
Gu Shan suddenly lost her temper.
She forgot the rules of the Gu family.
Gu Jinyu stepped forward to save the situation, "Fourth sister, fifth sister is not sensible, why are you adding to the trouble? If you want to give snacks, give them snacks."
Gu Jinyu said while stuffing the snack box into Gu Yao's hand.
Gu Yao disliked Gu Jinyu's dirty hands, "If you don't bother Third Sister, please give the snacks to the maid. I don't lack these snacks."
Gu Jinyu gritted his teeth, Gu Yao was getting more and more annoying.
"Third sister, give me the snacks."
Gu Yue struggled to get up and reached out to grab the snack box.
Gu Yao raised her leg and kicked Gu Yue, then grabbed the dim sum box and said, "None of you are allowed to touch the dim sum, otherwise I will be ruthless."
After saying that, Gu Yao turned around and strode away.
The maid breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally we are rid of the fourth aunt and grandma. Third girl, let's give the snacks to the old lady first."
"Um."
Gu Jinyu nodded listlessly, holding the snack box, "Fifth sister is too stupid, why did she give the snacks to fourth sister? She is not qualified to eat these snacks."
Gu Yue lay on the soft couch with tears streaming down her face.
Her voice was hoarse and choked: "I don't want to give snacks to Mrs. Gu either. But I can't help it."
"Fifth sister." Gu Jinyu squatted beside the soft couch and held Gu Yue's wrist, "Don't cry. Grandma will feel sorry for you if you are so sad."
Gu Yue shook her head, "I don't deserve grandma's love, nor do I deserve to be pitied by grandma. I hurt grandma, and I deserve to die!"
"Fifth sister, what did you say? You can't be wrong." Gu Jinyu hurriedly defended, "Mr. Lu has always had a weird temperament, but Gu Silang is still on good terms with him. You just don't want to disappoint Gu Silang. Gu Silang You are ignorant, but you are smart. You should know that this is for Gu Silang, not just for grandma."
Gu Yue sobbed: "I know... I don't want to hurt my grandmother, I want to survive."
"I will help you and I will protect you."
Gu Jinyu vowed, "When I marry into the Luhou Mansion, I will definitely impress my grandmother with you with my methods. I will take care of my fifth sister more in the future."
Gu Yue cried with gratitude, "Thank you, Third Sister." "Why are we so polite to each other?"
"I realize now that my third sister loves me more than anyone else, and is more considerate and considerate than anyone else."
"This is what I should do."
Gu Jinyu wiped the tears on Gu Yue's cheeks and comforted her softly, "Stop crying, be careful not to hurt your eyes."
"Um."
Gu Yue smiled again, "I listen to the third sister and I will be filial to my grandmother in the future and will never let you down."
"That's good."
Gu Jinyu smiled and patted Gu Yue's head, "I brought ointment. It will make you feel much better when you apply it."
*****
"Fourth sister, you are back."
Gu Shan walked out the door and greeted Gu Yao warmly, "I just went to invite grandma. Grandma said it's cold today, so she won't go to the garden. Fourth sister, there is no need to prepare snacks to avoid wasting grandma's efforts."
"It's not like I went all the way to pick out snacks for my grandmother."
Gu Yao glanced at Gu Shan lightly, "The fifth sister gave me snacks, why are you so concerned? You are not an ignorant person, why can't you even part with the snacks? Are you jealous that I am lucky enough to eat the snacks given by the fifth sister herself? ?”
Gu Shan was stunned for a moment and sneered: "No way, fifth sister is very good to me and often gives me jewelry and dresses. How could I be jealous just because fifth sister gave you a few snacks? I'm just... I'm afraid of Si Sister, you don’t understand the value of snacks.”
"Oh, that's it." Gu Yao slowly raised the corner of her mouth, "Let me just say, why would my good sister care about the snacks of the fifth sister? It turns out that she is worried about my greedy fifth sister's snacks."
