Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge

Chapter 13: First visit to Shangshu Mansion 1

As for the stepmother Zhang Xi Niang, although she was born in the Bo's mansion, she was born out of wedlock. Her aunt was a second-class maidservant of the Bo's wife. She climbed into the bed with the old Bo when he was drunk, and was promoted to aunt after she became pregnant.

When the newly-appointed Jinshi were paraded through the streets, Zhang Xi Niang fell in love with Gu Qian Zhang, the runner-up. However, she was a concubine's daughter, and her aunt had climbed up the ladder and died a few years ago. The mother and daughter were never liked by their stepmother in the mansion. So she had to suppress her thoughts.

Later, they somehow hooked up with each other. When Zhang Xiniang was found pregnant by her stepmother, she threatened to beat her to death. Zhang Xiniang was scared and told Gu Qianzhang about her affair.

If this matter were to get out, it would definitely be bad for the reputation of the Wenchang Marquis's Mansion. Thinking that Gu Qianzhang was a runner-up in the imperial examination, he was worth winning over.

Although Gu Qianzhang was married, his Yue family was not very powerful. Wenchang Bo's Mansion would not take a mere fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Revenue seriously. But they did not dare to make the matter public.

So he found Gu Qianzhang in private, ostensibly to ask for his opinion, but in fact he wanted to use his power to pressure him.

Gu Qianzhang used his eloquence to convince Zhang Xiniang and the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion to suppress the matter for the time being. He promised to marry her in a grand ceremony within five years, and she would be the mistress of the house as soon as she entered the mansion.

So the Zhang family announced to the public that Zhang Xi Niang was ill and sent to the farm for recuperation, but in fact it was Gu Qianzhang who took her away.

Later, when Li Zhen died, Gu Qianzhang brought Zhang Xiniang and her mother and son into the mansion.

Zhang Xi Niang went from being a concubine to the mistress of the Gu family, and her two children became legitimate young masters and young ladies of the Gu family. Gu Songting was half a year younger than Gu Lanting, and Gu Xianya was two months younger than Gu Lanruo.

Although they had the status of legitimate children, they were only the second legitimate sons and daughters.

Poor brother and sister of the original owner, since they had a stepmother, they also had a stepfather. They were driven to the most remote and simple courtyard in the mansion. Gu Qianzhang not only despised them, but also turned a blind eye to their abuse.

Ever since approaching the Shangshu Mansion, Xiaoyue had a vague feeling of chest tightness.

Xiaoyue knew that this was the original owner's emotion.

It didn't affect her at first, but when she jumped into the yard, memories came flooding back like a tide, and the slight tightness in her chest turned into a strong suffocation.

This is not possible.

If the original owner loses control of her emotions and causes this body to faint from suffocation, she would be in danger.

"Gu Lanruo, I know you want revenge, but this requires long-term planning. Besides, if you let him die immediately, wouldn't that be too easy for your enemy? You must let your enemy experience pain and despair before he dies. Isn't it more painful to cut flesh with a blunt knife?"

After Xiaoyue said this, the suffocating feeling disappeared in less than an incense stick of time.

It seems that the original owner is a person who listens to advice.

After exhaling the foul air and taking a few deep breaths, Xiaoyue felt like she was alive again.

It was like I was teetering on the brink of death.

Her little heart!

Her life!

Since she had promised Gu Lanruo and said those words, Xiaoyue knew that she couldn't be soft-hearted next time.

She had never killed anyone before. If she were asked to kill someone now, she probably wouldn't be able to do it unless it was an extremely critical moment.

Use a blunt knife to cut the flesh first, so that she has some time to transition.

Xiaoyue confirmed her location again, which was closest to Rongluo Courtyard.

That was where the original owner lived before, but later she was driven out by Zhang Xi Niang, and it became Gu Xianya's yard.

Heart is worse than action.

Xiaoyue's feet were as fast as the wind, and she arrived at Rongluo Courtyard in the blink of an eye.

All the maids and old women in the yard were asleep, even the old woman who was keeping watch in the corridor had huddled up into a ball and was sleeping.

Tonight, Xiaoyue will not care about anyone else and will only target Zhazha's family.

After weighing the drug in her hand, Xiaoyue thought about it and returned it to the space. She was not afraid of alarming the people in the yard, nor was she afraid of making a big fuss. The maids and old women were timid and would definitely call for help. If the guards and servants really came, she would strip Gu Xianya and throw her out.

The original owner was often bullied by Gu Xianya in this Shangshu Mansion.

If Gu Xianya hadn't deliberately fallen into the water and then falsely accused the original owner, Gu Songting and Zhang Xiniang would have fanned the flames and deliberately angered the original owner with words, causing the original owner to make a scene in the Shangshu Mansion. They also hinted to Gu Qianzhang that it would be better to get rid of him to prevent the trouble. That's why Gu Qianzhang was determined to kill the original owner.

What's even more hateful is that although Gu Xianya is small in stature, she is actually vicious and cruel. Not only did she use the excuse of losing something to search the original owner's residence, but she also asked servants and guards to search it.

He also forced the original owner to fall into the water, and asked the groom who had been arranged in advance to go down and rescue him. The groom was an old widower, about the same age as Gu Qianzhang.

Fortunately, the original owner was not a pushover and had two loyal people around him. The person who wanted to search for things was beaten out, and the old widower who went down to rescue people was beaten up by the original owner after he went into the water and almost drowned.

After Gu Qianzhang found out, he blamed the original owner biasedly. The original owner was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Gu Qianzhang's nose and cursed him as a "beast", which frightened Gu Qianzhang so much that he stood there in a daze.

The original owner suppressed her anger and explained to Gu Qianzhang that she was the eldest daughter of the Gu family after all, and if her reputation was ruined, the Gu family would also be ruined. If she gave up, what about Gu Xianya and Gu Songting? What about Minister Gu's reputation in the officialdom? How could Zhang Xi Niang survive among the noble ladies?

If no one cares about these things, Gu Qianzhang can just let Gu Xianya do whatever she wants.

Although Gu Qianzhang and Zhang Xiniang did not hate the original owner, they also agreed with what the original owner said, so they also restricted Gu Xianya's misbehavior.

But, instead of doing that, Gu Xianya would do that.

Anyway, it doesn't do anything good to the original owner.

Xiaoyue could clearly feel the overwhelming hatred in her heart, but she was obviously restrained because the suffocating feeling in her chest did not make her too uncomfortable, and her breathing was relatively smooth.

now it's right.

Happy cooperation!

A blunt knife for cutting meat.

Today I will start with a prelude, and the curtain of revenge will slowly begin.

Xiaoyue's ghostly figure gently pried open a window of Gu Xianya's bedroom and jumped in nimbly.

Landing silently, walking silently.

With the help of moonlight, Xiaoyue saw that the maid who was on night watch and dozing off on the footstool was Xiaohong.

What a coincidence.

Looking at the master and servant who were sleeping soundly, Xiaoyue frowned.

Before she entered Rongluo Courtyard, she could smell a faint scent of alcohol in the air.

The smell of alcohol was stronger in the yard and in the house as well.

Did you know you were coming and prepare in advance?

This is clearly the posture for cleaning your neck before getting stabbed.

Xiaoyue glanced around vigilantly and found that there was indeed no one else's presence except herself.

Those who are asleep do not count.

No one knew he would come.

Xiaoyue felt relieved. She took out a pair of scissors from Gu Xianya's needlework basket and cut the wound without hesitation.

I don't like learning needlework, and I studied it for a few days, but it wasn't very good.

He actually used such a good guy.

Pity.

This time we have to make full use of it, otherwise such a good thing will be wasted.
