Chapter 4: Life is like a play, it all depends on acting

In the bedroom, Gu Jiu was snuggling in Qingmei's arms, with a shocking bruise on her neck.
When Gu Jiu saw Master Gu, tears fell in his eyes.
She cried silently, her teary eyes were hazy, and her eyes were full of admiration. She has a sickly and weak face, which makes people feel pity.
Seeing Gu Jiu, Master Gu was startled first.
He doesn't care much about this daughter. His daughter is sick, and he hasn't seen it a few times.
But I didn't expect that Gu Jiu would be so sick after not seeing him in just a month or two.
It is said that Gu Jiu is recovering from the illness. Looking at her appearance, she has not recovered from the illness, but has nurtured her body.
Master Gu frowned suddenly, and most of the anger in his heart against Gu Jiu disappeared in an instant.
But he still had a straight face, "What's the matter?"
Gu Jiu motioned Qingmei to help her up, and bowed to Master Gu with a frail expression, "Daughter can't be filial to her father in the future, please forgive me."
"Nonsense. If you are sick, just recover from your illness and find any short-sightedness. It's just nonsense."
Although Lord Gu's tone was stern, the father's concern for his daughter was also reflected in his words.
Gu Jiu smiled desolately, tears falling slowly, drop by drop. This look of Gu Jiu is so wronged and helpless, which makes people look very distressed.
"It's not that my daughter is talking nonsense. Even if my daughter doesn't find a short sight today, I'm afraid she won't live a few days."
After speaking, Gu Jiu picked up the handkerchief, covered his mouth, and coughed.
The arm exposed outside the sleeves was thin and slender, and it didn't look like a fourteen or five-year-old girl should have.
Master Gu frowned and looked at Gu Jiu again. This is his daughter? Why is the recovery weaker the more you raise it. Didn’t the doctor say that it’s just a general cold?
Xie’s standing next to Master Gu, upon seeing this, he quickly said, "Second girl, you can’t talk nonsense! You are still young, so don’t think about it. Go to bed and lie down and drink the medicine."
Gu Jiu glanced at Tao Hong, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "Return to Mrs. I dare not drink medicine."
"When you are sick, how can you not take medicine. You child is stubborn." Xie Shi was clearly concerned, but in fact, he was accusing Gu Jiu of playing a petty temper, which made people turn their backs on the horse and was unreasonable.
Gu Jiu let out a light cough, and the whole person became more and more vulnerable.
She bowed her head slightly.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting.
Gu Jiu admitted that he had never lost his acting skills.
I have never lost in my previous life, and I will not lose in this life.
Since she woke up in the early morning, she has been thinking about this matter, how can Xie Shi end it with a few words.
"My wife misunderstood. It's not that I refused to take the medicine, but that I didn't dare to drink it."
Xie scolded, "You're talking nonsense again. Why don't you dare to drink the medicine that the doctor specially prescribes for you. Are you accusing the doctor of not being good at home, or accusing me and the master for not taking care of you?"
"I……"
"You are just a fool! The doctor has already ordered you to live a good life. Look at you to make the whole family uneasy, even the master is alarmed by you. Are you still not sure?"
Xie clan asked, Gu Jiu wept silently, pitiful. She was clearly a poor girl who was treated harshly by her stepmother.
Xie's secretly said that the little girl has been crying and crying all day long in the film. When the master is gone, I will clean up you.
Gu Jiu looked at Master Gu weakly, "Father!"
How desperate, sad, scared, and horrified this father was.
Xie became angry when he saw this. She dared to pretend, and she opened her mouth to scold her. Unexpectedly, Master Gu suddenly raised his hand to stop Xie Shi.
Gu Jiu looked at Master Gu. Since waking up, she has spent most of her time thinking about Master Gu's character and how to perform this scene to impress him.
Master Gu, Gu Zhili, the third grade official, currently serves as the governor of Jinzhou.
Master Gu is able to occupy a high position at such an age, firstly by his own ability, and secondly by his ancestors.
Master Gu's father, also Gu Jiu's grandfather, is the brother of the same compatriot Ping Nanhou.
Ping Nanhou is the eldest son, and Gu Jiu's grandfather is the second son.
Later, the two brothers separated and Gu Jiu's grandfather lived in Beppu. The two residences in the capital are separated by a courtyard wall.
Speaking of which, Gu Jiu can be regarded as behind Hou Men.
And Master Gu grew up in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, knowing a lot, and knowing a little bit about his inner house.
So when Gu Jiu showed fear in his eyes, it instantly touched a corner of his heart.
"Second girl, you just said that you didn't want to take medicine, but you didn't dare to take medicine, why?"
"Master..." Xie was anxious.
Master Gu waved his hand to stop Xie's talking, and even sat down on the chair in front of the desk, as if he had to listen patiently to Gu Jiu's narration.
After Gu Jiufu had a blessed body, he panted with exhaustion with this simple movement.
Her frail appearance made it more clear that she had said before that she dared not take medicine, but she was afraid that she really had something inside.
Gu Jiu took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears, "Father Rong Zi, after his daughter was ill, the maid Tao Hong has always been responsible for decoction and feeding of the medicine.
Every time my daughter drank the medicine, she felt sleepy. After waking up, I felt heavy, flustered, short of breath, chest tightness, and I was always out of breath.
In the beginning, the daughter only considered that she was weak and could not stand the medicine. It's just a long time, and now my daughter can't even get out of bed.
The daughter also asked the doctor, and the doctor said that her daughter was just in general cold. But why is the condition getting more and more serious. The daughter didn't want to cause trouble, and she didn't want to doubt the people around her. But today...today..."
Gu Jiu couldn't cry.
Master Gu asked, "What happened today?"
"My daughter only knows today that her daughter's name is Fuzhong's second daughter, but in the hearts of some people who have a bad heart, I am afraid that they are not as good as a maid. They wish their daughters die sooner, so they don't have to wait day and night when they die. Song find a new master."
"Where does this come from?"
Gu Jiu wiped away his tears and pointed to the medicinal package placed in the corner of the shelf, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, my daughter would not believe that there is such a vicious person in the world. They all wish their daughter died early."
Xie interjected, "Second girl, you can't talk nonsense. From top to bottom in this mansion, everything is in order, and everyone abides by their duties. Where are the black-hearted people? Who would dare to wish you died early."
Gu Jiu said softly: "My wife is busy managing the affairs of the mansion all day, and it is inevitable that the situation of Zhilan Academy is negligent. The black-hearted person, seeing that his wife never asked Zhilan Academy, naturally gave birth to two hearts."
"Master, listen to this, she is accusing me as a mother who doesn't care enough about her! Master Mingjian, the concubine has worked hard and disciplined the children every day, and has never slackened." Xie took the handkerchief and wiped her tears. , A look of being wronged and heartbroken.
Gu Jiu said lightly: "My wife has misunderstood. It is because my wife is working day and night, and people are tired and thin, I dare not disturb my wife with the little things around me. If I distract my wife, it is my sin."
Xie still wants to say, but Master Gu is too lazy to listen.
He raised his hand to stop, "Bring the bag of things on the shelf."
The butler Gu Quan personally stepped forward and took off the medicine packet.
Master Gu sullenly, "Open it!"
When the medicine package was opened, it was full of medicinal materials, and it was obviously moldy.
In an instant, Master Gu's face sank.
Qingmei knelt down immediately and said, "Lord, please be the master for my girl. Today, the servant girl was ordered to go to the storeroom to take the medicinal materials for the girl's decoction, and the warehouse woman directly threw these medicinal materials to the servant girl.
The slave and maid wanted to make a theory, but the woman said that usually Taohong took such medicinal materials to decoct the girl. Anyway, if she can't eat people, the slave can be special. The maidservant couldn't, but had to get the medicine back first. "
"You nonsense!" Tao Hong suddenly yelled, "Master Mingjian, the slave servant has never given a decoction of moldy and deteriorating medicinal materials to a girl."
Qingmei said, "If the slave and maidservant have a false word, they will be struck by thunder."
The pink face was indifferent, pointing to Qingmei, "Why are you killing me. I know, you hate me for taking your place, so you wait for an opportunity to retaliate against me. I want to fight you."
Tao Hong pounced on Qingmei.
Qingmei exaggerated.
"Stop her!" Master Gu was furious.
The servants rushed forward, controlled Tao Hong in twos or twos, and blocked her mouth by the way.
Master Gu patted the table fiercely, which was too shameful.
His daughter, even if he doesn't care about her, would not allow her subordinates to abuse her like this.
And this maid named Tao Hong is simply lawless. He dared to hit people in front of him. One can imagine how arrogant he is on weekdays.
