Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 473: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

He Yunwang hasn't come back yet, but the house is already lively because of him.

Some well-informed merchants learned that the Gu family had produced an officer and found excuses to visit them every day.

As time went by, more and more people knew about it.

The brothers of Guanggu Mancang came to the Gu family in several groups to congratulate them.

Tao Chunhua, a 35-year-old mother, bought four new servants for her family. There was a cook who cooked, a maid who was responsible for shopping, and a servant who cleaned the yard. In addition, Tao Chunhua also gave He Xingqing a beautiful maid to use as a concubine.

Zhiqiu, who came back from the kitchen to get food, covered her mouth and laughed, "Miss, you didn't see that little girl named Xiaolian, she was crying so pitifully, so weak that her legs trembled when she walked. I was afraid that she would knock over the second master's food box on the way."

Gu Li was shocked and didn't react for a long time.

Is Uncle He so fierce?

I can’t believe that this elegant scholar who usually looks so handsome and elegant would be so powerful when the old house is on fire!

It made people so exhausted that they couldn't even walk.

How could my uncle be so unkind to a woman, asking her to do the work even though she was in that state!

Gu Li, who rarely had something exciting to watch, took off her crooked bun and asked Zhiqiu to put it back into a snake bun for her. "Zhiqiu, take out the ginseng I got last year. Let's go see my uncle!"

Hehe, my uncle must have lost his energy after being so busy, and he really needs this ginseng to replenish his energy.

"Miss, isn't that what you reserved for your wife?"

"Now that her own son is back, it's not my turn to worry." He Yunwang, who had greedily grabbed so many good things soon after taking office, had no shortage of this ginseng.

In comparison, Uncle He needs this more!

Gu Li picked a tasseled hairpin with a magpie announcing good news, turned around, and looked left and right. Perhaps because she seldom went out, Gu Li's skin was different from Gu Mancang's healthy wheat color. Her skin was as white as snow, and she didn't need any makeup. She could be as dazzling as the cold white light reflected by the snow in the sun.

The big eyes are similar to Gu Mancang's, but more lively. The curved eyebrows are like willows, the nose is small and delicate, and the lips are pink------

While admiring her beauty, Zhiqiu also found the box containing ginseng.

"Let's go! Let's go watch the fun!"

Zhiqiu knew that her young lady was somewhat naughty in character, and she wanted to give her some advice. After all, Mr. He was her elder, so how could he be so disrespectful to him?

But Zhiqiu also understood how much this family doted on the young lady, otherwise she wouldn't have such a personality.

Forget it, as long as the lady is willing to go out for a walk!

At this hour, Uncle He should be in the shop in front, but I think he must be tired after working all night.

Do you want to go to the west wing in the front yard first?

Walk through the corridor, go out of the hanging flower gate and go straight west. There is no need to enter the main courtyard. Uncle He's west wing has a separate small door on the south side, so Gu Li went directly to the small south gate.

At that time, the door of the west wing was closed. What was happening in broad daylight?

Gu Li stopped Zhiqiu who was about to knock on the door. She stood outside the eaves and listened for a while, but didn't hear anything she shouldn't have.

Uncle He should have gone to the shop in front.

After exiting Xiaonan Gate, the shop front of you is the reverse house renovation project.

Gu Li lifted the curtain and went in. Behind the counter, her uncle was sitting upright, writing in one hand and quickly calculating on an abacus with the other.

There was also a beautiful lady standing aside, gazing at him affectionately.

Gu Li: ------

You keep it by your side so blatantly, can't you be separated from it for even a moment?

He Xingqing was concentrating on checking the accounts, but the woman named Xiaolian saw Gu Li and her servant first. When she saw them coming in from the back hall, her eyes couldn't help but flash.

Then she ran over quickly and said, "You are the eldest lady, right? Xiaolian greets the eldest lady!" Then she knelt down and bowed.

Gu Li noticed that her knees were stiff and painful when she stood up, so she quickly helped her stand up.

"If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest."

He Xingqing raised his head from behind the counter, his brows furrowed tightly, "Xiao Lian, go clean the west counter."

Xiaolian gave Gu Li a smile that was uglier than crying, replied to He Xingqing with a "yes", and quickly went to the West Hall.

He Xingqing glanced at Gu Li calmly, then lowered his head and started fiddling with his abacus. Don't think he didn't know what this devil girl was doing.

The ginseng that Zhiqiu was holding in his hand was bought by him personally at the pharmacy.

Gu Li's smile remained on her face for a long time, and He Xingqing didn't pay any attention to her. She slowly figured out that something was wrong. Why did her uncle, who had just enjoyed his wedding night, look like everyone owed him something?

"Uncle, look what good things I brought you!" Gu Li called Zhiqiu forward.

The lacquered box with floral patterns was placed on the counter, but He Xingqing didn't even bat an eyelid. However, Gu Li clearly saw that her uncle's ears were slightly red.

"Uncle? Last night-----"

Snapped!

He Xingqing put the brush down heavily, and his cold eyes were filled with anger. "Nothing happened last night!"

Gu Li shrank her neck because of He Xingqing's sudden loud shout. This was the first time she saw the good-tempered Uncle He get angry.

"Uncle, I just want to care about you!"

He Xingqing closed his eyes, suppressing the emotions in his heart that had nowhere to vent, "Gu Li, you are a girl, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette?"

"Ah?" Why did they mention her etiquette? "Uncle, are you dissatisfied with Xiaolian?"

He Xingqing changed to pinching the root of his nose, "Xiao Li'er, this is all adults' business, how can a little girl like you ask about this, well-----never mind, you go back first, I also have something to do in the main courtyard."

After saying that, He Xingqing didn't care about Gu Li anymore. He stood up, walked around Gu Li and his servants, and hurriedly left from the back hall.

Confused, Gu Li turned to look at the clerk huddled in a corner. The clerk ran over quickly and said honestly, "I don't know what happened to the shopkeeper today. Anyway, he was in a bad mood. He said with a cold face that he wanted Miss Xiaolian to stay in the shop to work from now on."

what?

Her family is not so poor that they force others to work as a servant during the day and a concubine at night.

The more Gu Li thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. After walking around the Chuihua Gate and hesitating for a few seconds, Gu Li decided to go to the main courtyard to get information.

She slowly approached the main house along the west wing, waving back as she walked, asking Zhiqiu to walk more lightly.

Dadadada, wouldn't this alert the enemy?

Gu Li rubbed under the window of the east room, casting a sneaky shadow on the wall. When he pricked up his ears and looked up, Gu Li's pupils suddenly shrank.

On the window, the shadow above her was rising and getting bigger little by little!

He has pointed horns on his head, broad shoulders, thick arms, and a long stick in his hands!

It's obviously a man's shadow!

"Ah!" Gu Li screamed and turned around to see a tough man wearing a pointed helmet and iron armor standing against the light behind her.
