The wife of two taels of silver

"Brother, when will mom come to pick us up?" The little girl frowned and said pitifully, "Lanlan wants to go home."

Gu Mo suppressed the bitterness in his heart and comforted his sister: "Mom will be back soon, Lanlan, don't be afraid, I will take you to play in the yard."

The little child was only less than a quarter of an hour older than his sister, but he already knew that he had to take on the responsibility of taking care of his sister.

It was cold, and the snow outside hadn't melted yet. Gu Mo held his sister's hand and went to see the flowers in the yard. The flowers were blooming extremely brightly, something they had never seen before in the village. Standing under the tree, they could smell the fragrance of the flowers mixed with the cold snow.

A chubby, pale yellow bird landed on a branch, scattering the snowflakes on the branch, and the snowflakes fluttered down on the faces of the brother and sister who were looking up at the flowers.

In order to take better care of the brother and sister, Liu Shuyun directly placed the children in the Liu Mansion and assigned maids and nannies to take good care of them. She would run to their small courtyard at least twice a day, for fear that the two little ones would be mistreated.

Seeing how much Master Yun valued the two young masters, the servants naturally did not dare to neglect them and served them wholeheartedly. No one dared to watch the two young masters deceive their superiors and take advantage of the young masters.

Just because the servants don't dare to do so doesn't mean that others don't have bad intentions.

Liu Shuyun is not always in the Liu Mansion in Yancheng. He lives in the capital and may not come back twice a year. The younger generations in the Liu Mansion grew up listening to Liu Shuyun's deeds, so they admire Liu Shuyun very much. Every time Liu Shuyun comes back, they will pester him, but Liu Shuyun is not the type who likes children very much, and always treats the younger generations perfunctorily.

Among this group of juniors, Liu Qinghe especially admired Liu Shuyun. Every time he received praise from Liu Shuyun, he would be like a proud rooster, with a flushed face and straightened chest, showing off to all his playmates several times before he would stop.

Liu Qinghe always thought that he was his uncle's favorite child. Whenever he saw the child getting close to Liu Shuyun, he would pull the child away and monopolize Liu Shuyun. But when he saw Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan this time, Liu Qinghe was angry and sad, and his eyelids were red all the time.

At first, Liu Qinghe didn't take the two of them seriously, not to mention that Liu Shuyun had told them that he would take them to play together. Liu Qinghe took them to play, but he found that Liu Shuyun ran to their yard countless times a day. Not only did he often look at them, but he also gave them a lot of things and hugged them to make them happy.

Even his uncle had never hugged him so often, so how could they enjoy this? They were not even children of the Liu family.

Liu Qinghe couldn't accept it, so he stopped playing with Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan, and asked others not to play with them either. But it was useless, Liu Shuyun still visited them often and hugged them often.

Liu Qinghe came to Lanyuan again like he did a few days ago, with several younger brothers following him.

"Didn't I tell you not to play on the swings?" Liu Qinghe shouted, his eyes blazing with anger.

The hand that was pushing the swing for her sister stopped, looked up at Liu Qinghe and the three or four people behind him, clenched her fist, and then instantly unclenched it. Gu Zhilan shrank her shoulders in fear again, stood down beside her brother, and tightly grasped the corner of his clothes.

"Brother He..." Gu Zhilan's voice was interrupted, "Who is your brother!"

"Did I ever say that you two are not allowed to come here?" Liu Qinghe's chest heaved, and he took a step with his right foot, like a fighting cricket.

Three days ago, Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan were playing on the swing. The brother and sister pushed each other and had a lot of fun. When they were having fun, Liu Qinghe came with a large group of people and snatched the swing away without saying anything: "Get away from me, both of you!" The boy's words were very domineering.

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan didn't understand why their friends who used to play games with them suddenly stopped playing with them. Now they were kicked off even when they were playing on the swings by themselves. They really couldn't figure it out. Gu Zhilan asked, "Brother He, why? Can we play together? I can help you push the swing."

"Don't call me brother, I don't have a country bumpkin sister!" Liu Qinghe said loudly: "Your last name is not Liu!"

Gu Zhilan didn't know what "country bumpkin" meant, but she could tell it was an insult to her. She was hit hard and very sad, but she still said to Liu Qinghe: "Brother He, Uncle Liu said that we are friends, and friends can't-"

When Liu Shuyun was mentioned, Liu Qinghe became even more furious. He pushed Gu Mo, who was standing in front of Gu Zhilan, aside and pushed Gu Zhilan to the ground. As luck would have it, there was a medium-sized stone on the ground. Gu Zhilan's forehead hit the stone and blood oozed out.

"Leave me now—"

Before Liu Qinghe could finish his words, Gu Mo threw him to the ground. Gu Mo was a head smaller than Liu Qinghe, but his aura was no less. He held Liu Qinghe down and said in a serious tone, "Apologize to Lanlan."

Liu Qinghe was two years older than Gu Mo and had been in many fights. Gu Mo was no match for Liu Qinghe, both in terms of physique and experience. Liu Qinghe rolled over and pinned Gu Mo to the ground, punching him on the left side of the face. Gu Mo's face quickly swelled and turned purple, but he didn't stop, shouting, "This is my home! You're the ones who need to apologize!"

Gu Mo was panting heavily, his shoulders were pressed tightly to the ground. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't get free. He raised his head with difficulty and bit Liu Qinghe's hand.

The clothes people wear in winter are thick, and half of Gu Mo's teeth were biting on Liu Qinghe's clothes. He bit hard, using all his strength. Liu Qinghe howled more and more loudly. Gu Mo looked up, his small eyes flashing with ruthlessness, and his mouth became stronger.

"Ah--" Liu Qinghe had always been spoiled and pampered by his family. He had never suffered such an injustice. He slapped Gu Mo's head hard with his other hand, hoping to make Gu Mo open his mouth, but Gu Mo's cheeks were red and swollen, and he didn't let go of his mouth.

Seeing her brother being bullied, Gu Zhilan picked up a stone and rushed to save him: "Let my brother go!"

Before she could even get over there, she was stopped by the other younger generations of the Liu family. Gu Zhilan's feet left the ground, thrashing around, her face flushed with anger: "Let me go! You bad guys! A bunch of bad guys!"

"Shut up, country girl!"

"If you scream again, I'll throw you out!"

"You unwanted child, get out of here!"

Several younger generations of the Liu family restrained Gu Zhilan and pinched her with their hands. Gu Zhilan's eyes were red with pain, but she didn't care about that. She looked at her brother's swollen face, anxiously looked at the stone in her hand, and smashed it hard at Liu Qinghe's head.

The stone hit the bull's eye, leaving a big bump on Liu Qinghe's head. In pain, he let go of Gu Mo and fell to the ground screaming. He wanted to cover his head and hands, and his eyes were swollen from crying.

The servants finally arrived and finally found the young masters, only to see a mirror image of several people fighting. They were shocked and hurriedly pulled the young masters apart: "Young Master! How are you? Do you have a headache?"

One of them supported Liu Qinghe, and the other checked his injuries: "Young Master, I will take you to find the Madam!"

Compared to Liu Qinghe and the other younger generations of the Liu family who were surrounded by people asking about their well-being, Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan seemed particularly lonely. Gu Zhilan helped her brother up and looked at his red and swollen cheeks with tears in his eyes. She blew gently, "Lanlan, blow on it, blow on it and it will stop hurting you."

Gu Mo grabbed Gu Zhilan's hand and comforted her: "Lanlan, I don't feel any pain."

Looking at Liu Qinghe's miserable appearance, the servants were scared to the point of peeing their pants. Liu Qinghe was the most favored youngster in the Liu family. Both the ancestors and other elders felt very sorry for him. Now that he was seriously injured, they could not escape a beating no matter what. Since they could not escape, they had to find a way to be punished less severely.

Taoli and Xiahe are Liu Qinghe's personal servants. Usually, when the other children are playing together, they are lazy. As long as they are not by the lake, they don't need to be watched all the time. That's why they come late at this time, but it's too late. They will not be able to escape the punishment, so Qiuyue and Chunhua can only take the blame.

Qiuyue and Chunhua were maids transferred by Liu Shuyun to serve Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan.

Chunhua and Qiuyue are kind and honest. Liu Shuyun knows their personalities well and knows that they would never bully their master. Therefore, he assigned them to serve the two siblings of the Gu family because he was worried that they would not be able to control the servants who have stronger tempers.

Tao Li grabbed Momo and Lanlan's wrists, her expression frantic but firm. "I ask Young Master Gu and Young Miss Gu to come and explain everything to Madam today!"

"Let go of Lanlan!" Gu Zhilan tried to push her hand away, but the hand that was holding her didn't move at all.

Gu Mo patted Gu Zhilan's head to comfort her. Now that her parents were gone, he was the only one who could protect her. He said, "Let us go, and we'll go with you."

Gu Mo felt that after he met the lady and explained the matter to her, the lady would not blame him. After all, it was Liu Qinghe who was wrong in this matter.

It is not enough to just bring Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan, Chunhua and Qiuyue must also be brought along.

The reason Chunhua and Qiuyue didn't come out with the Molan siblings this time was because one was washing their clothes, and the other was in the small kitchen making them stewed pork ribs. Unexpectedly, when they didn't come along, something went wrong. When Xia He called them out, they were still confused. When they saw the injuries on the Gu siblings and Liu Qinghe, their faces paled in an instant.

"Young Master, Young Miss!" Chunhua Qiuyue exclaimed, and each of them pulled the other to check their injuries.

Gu Mo's face was swollen and Gu Zhilan's forehead was bleeding. Seeing the two of them like this, Chunhua Qiuyue felt even more panicked.

As for feelings, she had only served them for a few days, so her feelings were not very deep. She just thought the two children were cute and sensible. However, they both knew how much the eldest master valued them. Now that things had turned out like this, the eldest master would definitely punish them for not taking good care of them.

"Chunhua, Qiuyue! These two strangers you serve have injured your true master! Come with me to see the Madam!" Taoli pressed forward, not caring at all about the embarrassment on the faces of the sisters who had grown up together. "If you two admit your mistakes, perhaps the Madam will show some mercy."

Seeing the bump on Liu Qinghe's head, Chunhua Qiuyue became even more frightened and panicked, not knowing what to do.

Yes, Liu Qinghe was their master, the Gu brothers and sisters were just guests, and the eldest son hadn't come to see them for two days. Did they really want to offend their real master for two outsiders? Obviously, it was impossible.

The two men walked up to Taoli and Xiahe and asked anxiously.

"Please show some mercy, Sister Taoli and Sister Xiahe. Chunhua and I are washing clothes and cooking respectively, and we have no idea what's going on!" Qiuyue said anxiously.

Chunhua also agreed: "Yes, the two sisters should tell the younger sister what to do!"

Seeing someone taking the bait, Taoli felt relieved and gently waved. Chunhua and Qiuyue leaned over and whispered, "I asked the young master. Those two took advantage of the eldest young master's favor and pushed him off the swing. The young master was so angry that he started arguing. Tell the truth to the lady."

Since Taoli said so, the truth is probably the opposite of what she said, and Chunhua and Qiuyue also know it in their hearts.

Chunhua and Qiuyue glanced at each other and then looked away, appearing a little flustered. Qiuyue clenched her folded hands slightly in front of her abdomen, walked to the front of the Gu family siblings and squatted down, her eyes flickering as she spoke: "Young Master, Young Miss, I will accompany you to Madam. Don't worry, Madam will definitely make the decision impartially."

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan were young, after all, so how could they understand these twists and turns? They only knew that Sister Chunhua and Sister Qiuyue were very kind to them and trusted them very much, so they naturally believed what they said, which was, "Okay, let's go with Sister Qiuyue and Sister Chunhua."

The two little men held each other's hands tightly, and they wanted to go to the lady to complain about the injustice and seek justice.

Qiuyue forced a smile, stroked the shoulders of the Gu brothers and sisters with both hands, and shrugged slightly when she stood up. Her expression seemed both nervous and relieved.

Liu Qinghe knew his mother would definitely side with him. At this moment, he listened with his head held high and chest held high, like a proud rooster: "You two idiots, my mother will definitely kick you out of the Liu family!"

Xia He was afraid that the little ancestor's words would make the two little troublemakers afraid to go to the lady, so she quickly pulled him back and said, "Young Master, the lady is very understanding and will definitely deal with them fairly."

"You--" Liu Qinghe was about to refute her when he saw her expression, instantly understood what she meant, turned his head and snorted heavily.

Xia He turned around and said, "Young Master Gu, Young Miss Gu, please don't delay any longer. Come with me to see the Madam."

Gu Mo pursed his lips, took his sister's hand, nodded, and followed them to the lady.

It has been many days since I last saw my mother. Uncle Liu hasn't come for the past two days, and I still have to take care of my sister. Now this kind of thing happened again. Gu Mo's eyes turned red, but he held back the tears.

He missed his mother so much and felt so wronged.
