The Villain is Reborn! Princess Zhan goes on a killing spree in the capital
Chapter 56 Xiaocao is the eldest lady’s sister, right?
In just a stick of incense, Su Jixue had turned herself into a hedgehog.
Elder Wu was amazed: "Miss Su, there is no need to fight so hard."
"You want to go back on your word?!" Su Jixue opened her peach blossom eyes, which were filled with murderous intent and a face full of vigilance.
"Once I have spoken, I cannot take it back!" Old Wu blew his beard and glared again: "It's just a set of needles!"
He is not the kind of person who would go back on his word.
"That's good. Go back and wait for news, old man. I will be well tomorrow!" Su Jixue closed her eyes again. She had a slight fever, so she had to take it easy.
"Hmph!" Old Wu realized that he was being disliked and walked away in anger, but he did not go back. Instead, he asked someone about the whereabouts of the War King and went straight to find the War King.
He finally realized that if he couldn't get the needles back, he would have to go to the King of War and cry poor to get his money.
At this time, Gui Xiaocao, who had just returned, passed by Wu Lao. Normally, she would have taken a curious look at him, but at this time she walked into the house with her head down and a worried look on her face.
When Xiaocao saw Su Jixue's appearance, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Miss, is that old Wu's medical skills reliable?"
How can you prick someone into a hedgehog!
"I did this myself." Su Jixue spoke with difficulty and annoyance. Even her lips were shimmering with colorful needles, which made her look a little funny.
Gui Xiaocao finally smiled: "Miss, there's no need to worry. The fever won't go away overnight."
"Hmph! Don't look down on me because I'm young and poor. When I grow up, you will know the secret of this acupuncture technique!" Su Jixue couldn't even roll her eyes at this time, because her eyelids were also full of needles.
This is the quick-hand needle she figured out at the critical moment of life and death. Those who don’t understand it are just ordinary people!
"By the way, Xiaocao didn't know before that the eldest lady also saved Brother Yuanzhou. Thank you, eldest lady, for saving Brother Yuanzhou's life!" Gui Xiaocao said as she knelt down again and kowtowed to Su Jixue again.
Brother Yuanzhou?
Su Jixue had no idea who this person was.
"Miss, Brother Yuanzhou came to the capital to file a complaint on Xiaocao's behalf. If you hadn't saved him, he would have died. I will never forget your kindness!" Gui Xiaocao looked at Su Jixue with red eyes, feeling that she would never be able to repay Miss's kindness in this lifetime.
Su Jixue then remembered the poor scholar who had reached out his hand amidst the pile of dead bodies. Suddenly, she realized, "The one who got hit by the three-day snowstorm is your fiancé?"
In a trance, Su Jixue remembered that night when Gui Xiaocao said that she originally had a fiancé who was going to get married.
"Yes, he's Xiaocao's neighbor's brother. He's loved reading since he was a child. His parents passed away two years ago, and before they died, they entrusted Brother Yuanzhou to Xiaocao." Gui Xiaocao's eyes were red, and tears kept streaming down her face. After Gu Yuanzhou lost his father, the two of them had almost depended on each other for survival.
Fortunately, Yuanzhou's brother worked hard and his life became easier after he passed the imperial examination. However, although Gu Yuanzhou proposed marriage to the Gui family, which was obviously a great opportunity, the Gui family refused and put forward the harsh condition of asking for 100 taels of silver.
That's how Xiaocao realized something was wrong. Later, when she overheard the Gui couple's night conversations, she realized that her identity was different.
In Guijia Village, Gui Xiaocao's family is almost the village bully, so Gu Yuanzhou came to the capital to complain, but who knew that his whereabouts could not be hidden from the Gui family at all.
Gui Xiaocao's tears dripped down: "The eldest lady not only saved Xiaocao, but also saved Brother Yuanzhou. Xiaocao will be a cow in this life..."
"Why do you all love to be slaves? Why don't you just be good people?" Su Jixue interrupted Gui Xiaocao directly: "Since you have seen him, there is actually no need to follow me."
Lovers should eventually get married.
"Miss, you're joking." Gui Xiaocao's face turned pale. She lowered her head. "If it weren't for Xiaocao, Brother Yuanzhou wouldn't be in this danger. Brother Yuanzhou will definitely pass the imperial examination and have a bright future. How can Xiaocao be worthy of him?"
The eldest lady knows what happened that night.
Su Jixue's eyes fixed on Gui Xiaocao through the gaps between the needles. She could tell that Xiaocao was truly sad, the sadness felt like a physical presence. She said calmly, "Xiaocao, you said your brother from Yuanzhou came to the capital to file a complaint. What did he file?"
Gui Xiaocao raised her eyes in panic, pursed her lips, and didn't know how to start.
"Jinhuan, you guys step back first!" Su Jixue looked at Jinhuan who was still serving in the room and spoke with great authority.
Jinhuan glanced at Xiaocao who was kneeling on the ground, and retreated with the maids, but asked a little maid to inform the King of War.
"Xiao Cao, you asked him to sue, is it that the Gui family concealed the truth and replaced your and Su Mingyue's identities?" Su Jixue opened her mouth slightly, and slowly spoke in the face of needles. This scene was a little funny, but no one laughed.
Gui Xiaocao opened her mouth in surprise, she didn't expect that the eldest lady actually knew about it.
Gui Xiaocao's reaction confirmed Su Jixue's guess. In fact, on the night Su Jixue met Xiaocao, she heard that Gui Xiaocao was Gui Ma's granddaughter. Considering that Gui Ma was more nervous than Shen about Su Mingyue falling into the water, she noticed some clues.
Su Jixue had already noticed Gui Xiaocao's identity, which was why she finally kept Gui Xiaocao.
This Gui Xiaocao is actually the real daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the real daughter of the Shen family.
When Su Jian took the baby girl from Ji Xue back home, he passed her off as his own daughter to justify her identity. Shen Shi was also aware of this and even personally arranged her daughter's fate, having her most trusted Nanny Gui send her child away.
In the face of profit, Nanny Gui was ultimately blinded by greed and replaced the original Xiangfu daughter Gui Xiaocao with her own granddaughter Gui Mingyue. As a result, Xiaocao became the poor little girl in the Gui family who was bullied by others, while Gui Mingyue became the Xiangfu daughter who was often taken care of by Shen.
Gu Yuanzhou, a poor scholar who had pledged his life to Xiaocao, learned the truth and went to the capital to file a complaint on her behalf. However, upon arriving, he was struck by a three-day snowstorm. This, presumably, must have been related to Aunt Gui.
The Sanrixue in Nanny Gui's hands was most likely obtained from the Prime Minister's Mansion, or the Shen family, or even the Zhuang family.
However, Nanny Gui was killed by the War King. The Gui family lost their backbone and sold Gui Xiaocao to Chen Donghai, hoping to make her disappear from this world. But both Gu Yuanzhou and Gui Xiaocao were saved by Su Jixue.
It can be said that Su Jixue is simply the nemesis of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In a short time, Su Jixue had figured out the whole thing. She looked at Gui Xiaocao, who was still kneeling on the ground: "Xiaocao, are you clear about your identity now?"
"Xiaocao is the second lady of the prime minister's mansion and the younger sister of the eldest lady, right?" Gui Xiaocao's eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes. She looked at Su Jixue expectantly.
Before, Xiaocao only heard that she was not a child of the Gui family and that her parents had switched her with her second sister, but she didn't know whose daughter Gui Mingyue was.
But when Xiaocao was sold to Chen Donghai, she knew who she was supposed to be. She was supposed to be the precious second lady of the prime minister's mansion.
The young lady who appeared from the sky like a savior that night should be Xiaocao's sister.
But she didn't dare to admit it at that time.
