Chapter 314: The Words on the Screen Wall Need to Be Painted Over
Wen Xichi said calmly, looking at Gu Xishu with unclear meaning.
"Third cousin, let's go!" Gu Xishu's face was full of grievance, and she immediately smiled. She gently wanted to reach out and pull Wen Xichi's sleeve.
Wen Xichi stepped back, avoided her hand, and said gently: "Cousin, please don't pull my sleeves in the future, it seems a bit rude!"
"Third cousin, haven't we always been like this before?" Gu Xishu looked surprised, and then her eyes turned red again, looking like she was about to cry.
"We were still young before!" Wen Xichi sighed lightly.
"Third cousin, you have changed. You were not like this before!" Gu Xishu looked at Wen Xichi sadly and disappointedly, silently condemning him!
"Cousin, you will get married and leave in the future, and I will also get married. When you grow up, this kind of behavior when you were a child will be inappropriate. Even if you are full-blooded brothers and sisters, you should avoid suspicion, not to mention that you are not full-blooded relatives. Yes!" Wen Xichi said softly as if he didn't see Gu Xishu's heartbroken eyes.
"Third...third cousin is getting married? Is...is it the thing that was spread in the house before?" Gu Xishu's face was pale, tears were falling one by one, her expression was so sad that it made people feel distressed, as if there was something there. shattered.
Such eyes, such behavior, such a beautiful face, any man will feel distressed when he sees her, and cannot bear the beauty to be so sad.
This is how the steel turned into softness by practicing a hundred practices!
This move was also Gu Xishu's usual trick in the past. Whether she was facing her second cousin, third cousin, or even the elders and eldest cousin in the house, they all responded to her move. .
Wen Xichi reached out and pressed his forehead, and said helplessly: "Cousin, it is inevitable for me to get married, not just me, but also my second brother. My father must have decided for us early to avoid not being able to choose the right one. A noble lady!"
"Pick a lady from a famous family?" Gu Xishu felt that her heart was going to be broken. She simply couldn't believe what she heard. Could it be that she was not a lady from a famous family? Why didn't she choose herself but someone else?
"The person who came from the house before, I heard he is from the Qin house, is the third cousin the one just now?" These words were almost cried, and then Gu Xishu took a step back and almost fell down. The maid who was following her hurriedly reached out to help her, but she pushed her away.
"It must be her. Otherwise, how could the third cousin know her? He clearly called her Miss Qin Er. The third cousin didn't know who she was when we last met. Third cousin, what did you think of her behavior just now? I didn’t see it, would the Zuo Xiangfu want such a woman who has no sisterly feelings at all, and is also in trouble?”
Gu Ximei shed angry tears and cried.
All this resentment was directed at Qin Wanru, who had already left.
"Okay, cousin! That's not the case. Don't talk nonsense about the reputation of bad people. We didn't hear what they said just now. Maybe Miss Qin Er is helping Sister Qin to speak. Maybe she will help Miss Qin fight back. That’s it?”
Wen Xichi comforted him softly, but his smile became thinner and thinner.
"Third cousin, you...you actually helped her to speak. I have to tell my uncle." Gu Xishu stamped her feet bitterly, covered her face with a handkerchief, and ran away crying, with the maid closely behind her. Follow closely.
Wen Xichi did not chase after him, he still stood there, but his smile became much colder, his handsome eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Gu Xishu's back thoughtfully, with only suspicion and no trace of friendship.
There are some things that you can't think about. The more you think about it, the more possible it becomes. If Gu Xishu is really who he imagined, one day he will definitely make her lose everything with his own hands!
"Third Young Master, my cousin is crying. Would you like to go over and comfort her?" the boy reminded him from the side.
Wen Xichi shook his head, walked in the completely opposite direction to Gu Xishu, and walked forward slowly.
"The Prime Minister and his wife will be unhappy!" The boy followed him and reminded him that although this cousin is not the Prime Minister's biological daughter, now that the Prime Minister's biological daughter is gone, in the hearts of the Prime Minister and his wife , I am afraid that I feel more distressed than these three young masters.
"Let them go, she's just a cousin who is staying in the house temporarily. I heard that my uncle is going back to Beijing, and then she will go back to her own house!" Wen Xichi said indifferently, as if he was saying She is someone else's cousin, her eyes are as calm as water.
The boy was anxious: "The prime minister and his wife will be reluctant to part with you."
"No matter how reluctant you are to let her go, it doesn't matter. She is always someone else's daughter. How can she still keep her in the house?" Wen Xichi said nonchalantly.
"I heard... I heard..." The boy hesitated.
"Say it!" Wen Xichi said gently.
Seeing his gentle attitude, the young man dared to speak: "I heard from others that my cousin is going to give it to the third young master!"
When Wen Xichi said this, he stopped and frowned. People in the mansion actually spread rumors like this? It seems that he has paid more attention to the affairs of his own family: "Didn't you say that the ration is for the second brother? The second brother is older than me, so he should get engaged earlier!"
"But I heard... I heard... that my cousin told my wife that she has a crush on the third young master... Besides, no one in the house can see that my cousin is completely obedient to the third young master!"
The boy said na na na.
He shouldn't have said this kind of gossip about his master. Now Wen Xichi asked him so, so he dared to say such a thing or two.
"Where did you hear the news?" Wen Xichi continued to move. What did Gu Xishu say to her mother? It's not like she could spread such words casually. Her mother's family was quite strict in running the family, and the people around her People must not dare to say nonsense, after all, such things will damage Gu Xishu's reputation.
Then the only one left is Gu Xishu!
"Listen to what the maid next to my cousin said!" The boy didn't dare not tell the truth and lowered his head.
Wen Xichi's eyes turned cold, and his gentle and jade-like face showed a bit of coldness, and he ordered: "From now on, if you have anything to say to my cousin, please pass it on directly. Remember, I am your master. Whatever the lady does towards me, I will report it verbatim!"
These words were extremely harsh, and the young man was so frightened that he nodded hastily, secretly thinking that he had been wrong in the past. He thought that his master also had some thoughts about his cousin, but he didn't expect that his master didn't like his cousin at all.
Wen Xichi walked forward as he spoke, and unknowingly walked to a courtyard in front. Seeing this large courtyard, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He actually walked to the former Prince Xingguo. Come to the courtyard where you live.
It turns out that deep down in my heart, I really want to see this shadow wall left by the writings of the former Prince Xingguo.
Gu Xishu really caught what she was thinking. It seems that she needs to pay more attention to Gu Xishu from now on!
He actually knows his own preferences so well!
"Third Young Master, are we going in?" The boy looked at Wen Xichi, who was standing still, and then at the tall and deserted courtyard, and asked in confusion.
"Let's take a look first!" Wen Xichi said.
It is rude to enter someone else's courtyard without the owner's permission, especially since this is the former residence of the crown prince of the former Xingguo Palace. This name is said to be a taboo in Xingguo Palace.
But the shadow wall inside attracted Wen Xichi inexplicably.
Suddenly a woman's voice came to his ears. Wen Xichi looked around, and immediately hid behind a big tree, and the boy followed him cleverly.
From a distance, I saw two maids walking over. They should be from the Xingguo Duke's mansion. But at this time, the two maids were not waiting in front, but they came here to do something, which made people feel suspicious!
"Sister, do you really want to paint the screen wall?" said a maid in red, both of them holding an ink bucket in their hands.
"The madam said that she remembered it just looking at it, so she simply dismissed it. Since it was the madam's order, we just did it!" Another maid in purple clothes, who looked a bit older, said in a low voice.
When we arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, it was ajar. The two maids were a little tired from carrying it, so they pushed the door open a little, then put down the buckets and rested.
"Why are you painting it now? Don't they all say that the calligraphy on this shadow wall is very beautiful, and the madam has never come to see it, so how can she be upset when she sees it?" The maid in red asked in confusion.
Everyone in the mansion knows that this is the place where the former Prince Xingguo belongs, and it is a place where no one is allowed to come casually. A woman once entered here by mistake and was beaten half to death. This shows that not just anyone can come here. In this place, such a shadow wall is not something anyone can see.
As for the masters of this mansion, except for Master Hao, who used to secretly come here to play, no one would come here. It is really strange for the madam to use such an excuse.
This maid is still young, and no one is around at the moment, so she can't bear to say this.
"Who knows what the masters think, let's just do it!" said the maid in purple.
"But if Master Hao comes back, will there be trouble? What will happen then?" The maid in red is very worried. Master Hao is a demon king. If he knows that his father's shadow wall has been brushed, he will be in trouble. .
"This matter has nothing to do with us. Besides, Master Hao is now living in the residence of Princess Ruian. It is unlikely that he will come back. Even if he comes back once in a while, he will not immediately think about this shadow wall!"
The maid in purple thought for a moment.
"Are you really going to be okay?" The maid in red was a little scared. She had seen Master Hao make trouble before, and the whole house was in a state of uproar, and some maids and mothers-in-law were beaten. There are also some who are tied up and sold!
"This..." Seeing that the maid in red was so scared, the maid in purple also hesitated, and finally felt guilty in her heart. They were the ones who did it. In the end, they wouldn't put the blame on them. This responsibility should be on them. How can two maids afford this?
The two people looked at each other and suddenly laughed bitterly.
"There must be someone bringing gifts to the eldest princess Ruian's house today. How about we secretly send a message. If the people at the eldest princess Ruian's house don't say anything, we will do it again. Anyway, the lady just said it was done, and there is no limit. Our time!”
The maid in purple suggested helplessly.
"Okay, sister Quanyi, let's go secretly!"
The two maids left immediately, placed the ink buckets beside them, and left in a hurry.
Wen Xichi frowned behind the tree. He didn't know what Duke Xingguo's wife and wife were doing. He was about to go out when he suddenly saw an absolutely impossible figure appearing at the intersection on the other side. He couldn't help but go to He leaned in and looked at the person with handsome eyes, a look of surprise on his face...
