Zhong Li asked Qiuyue to put away the herbs, while she took off her shoes and leaned on the couch before saying to Xia He, "Bring her in."
She didn't get out of bed.
Gu Zhiya walked in with Mammy Zhang, and she glanced at it roughly.
Zhong Li's interior is very simple, and there are not many valuables on the Bogu shelf. Only the dresser at the head of the bed is polished with the best pear wood, and it is also carved with complicated patterns. It looks expensive. .
Gu Zhiya naturally despised this little thing in her room, and only after getting close to her did Gu Zhiya see the state of Zhongli.
The girl had no makeup on, her delicate little face was white and tender, her dark circles were slightly serious, and she didn't rest well at first glance.
Gu Zhiya thought that Zhong Li was pretending to be sick, but seeing her slightly haggard appearance, she felt a little relieved, but she felt that she was being punished.
Zhong Li pretended to cough twice before making a gesture of wanting to get out of bed.
Gu Zhiya asked Mammy Zhang to support her arm, and said, "Since my sister is ill, she should take a good rest."
Zhong Li said lightly: "Thank you, sister, for coming to visit."
Gu Zhiya naturally didn't want to visit her. When she met Zhong Li before, she was basically in Yangxintang, and it was inconvenient to say some things in front of others.
She came today, in fact, to test Zhong Li. Not only wanted to test her, whether she knew about Cheng'er, but also wanted to test whether Gu Lin's illness had something to do with her.
Seeing Zhongli being so cold and alienated, a trace of displeasure flashed in Gu Zhiya's eyes, but she still had a smile on her face, "I don't know if it's my illusion, why do I feel that my sister is inexplicably hostile to me at this reunion? Didn't your sister offend you?"
Zhong Li just looked at her quietly, and then looked away with a bit of annoyance, "Sister Ya, why don't you ask your good brother what he did."
Zhong Li deliberately mentioned Gu Lin, in order to anger Gu Zhiya and divert her attention.
Zhong Li sneered and said, "I heard that the prince is wise, wise and upright, and there is no room for sand in his eyes. If he learns that the prince's younger brother is not as good as a beast, and that he is ill due to retribution, I don't know how he will treat you in the future?"
What Gu Zhiya cared about the most was the opinion of the prince, and she was afraid that he would find out about these things. Zhong Li's words just hit her heart.
Gu Zhiya's fingertips trembled slightly, and it took a long while to suppress the anger in her heart. When she was about to say something, one of her maids hurriedly came over and said in a low voice, "Miss, there is something wrong with the eldest young master. "
Gu Zhiya's heart was instantly raised. She and Gu Lin had no biological mother since childhood. To a certain extent, Gu Lin was brought up by her own hands, and the two sisters had a very deep relationship.
She took a deep breath, and then she kept the story short, and said comfortably, "Could it be that Sister Li misunderstood something? Although Lin'er is a bit stubborn, she is a good child, and she will never do harm to the world. If you suffer any grievances. , even if you tell me, I will definitely help you out."
She changed her words and tapped again: "He is your step-brother at any rate. Although he is not blood-related, he is also your elder brother. If you let others know that you are not as good as a beast, how will they treat you?"
Zhong Li was silent, her eyes were full of irony, she obviously didn't listen to her threat, and Gu Zhiya lost her patience, she couldn't help but squeeze the handkerchief in her hand and smiled: "Sister, think about it, I If there is something else to do, I will stay soon, if Lin'er really bullied you, you can go to my residence to find me, my sister will definitely help you vent your anger."
After she was appeased, she left Zhaixing Pavilion.
After getting on the carriage, Gu Zhiya took the lead to inquire about Gu Lin's situation, "What happened to him?"
The maid said truthfully, "Young master lost his temper again today, smashed everything in the room, and killed a servant with his own hands."
Gu Zhiya frowned, her eyes full of coldness, "Well, why did he lose his temper? But this little servant did not serve him wholeheartedly, making him unhappy?"
Gu Zhiya couldn't help but scolded, "It's really something that looks down on people! I'm still here, and they are so neglectful. If I leave the capital, do they want to go to heaven?"
The maid's eyes dodged a little, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Gu Zhiya frowned, and Mammy Zhang reprimanded: "It's not time to tell everything!"
The maid knelt down with a plop, and said in a stern voice, "Young Master, he is ill again. He wanted to pamper the little servant, but the servant refused, so he beat him to death."
Gu Zhiya's heart fell to the bottom of the valley, and he never expected that he would be so incompetent now. She closed her eyes deeply and stroked her chest slightly tired.
Mammy Zhang hurriedly helped her follow her back and advised, "Don't be angry, Concubine Shizi, the young master just went the wrong way for a while. With your persuasion, he will definitely change his ways."
Gu Zhiya was a little stunned, was he really still saved?
Her face was full of tiredness, and her mood was very low. Mammy Zhang said, "Concubine Shizi can't fall down. You are not alone now. The eldest girl and the young master are still waiting for you in the palace."
Thinking of her pair of children, Gu Zhiya's expression softened for a minute. Zhong Li's words were not wrong. The prince is indeed a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes, and Gu Lin's matter must not be passed on to his ears.
The existence of Zhong Li is undoubtedly a variable.
She couldn't help but squeeze the veil tightly, and made a decision quietly in her heart.
The carriage went all the way to the south, towards the direction of Zhuangzi, and the dense woods on both sides of the road were quickly swept back.
The breeze lifted a curtain, and Gu Zhiya's bright face revealed a depth that did not match her age.
Zhong Li didn't care what happened to Gu Lin. After Gu Zhiya left, she continued to teach Qiuyue and Xia He how to make antidote.
They worked on it all afternoon, and in the evening, Zhong Li gave an order to let the maids prepare the offerings. Tomorrow is the Qingming Festival, and she and Cheng'er need to go to visit their mother's tomb.
Another rain fell at night, and the rain fell heavily, and the crackling drops of water hit the windows, making a rhythmic sound.
Chun Manlou, everyone surrounded the iris in the middle, talking about Pei Xing, and don't know which sharp-eyed recognized Pei Xing, and after two days of fermentation, Everyone knew about Pei Xing's arrival.
