Gu Hui took a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, with a nasal voice, “I know, I’ll go now.”
After saying that, she stood up.
“Don’t go empty either, I’ll have someone prepare some things.”
Gu Hui nodded, and when her subordinates had prepared the things, she got on the carriage and went to the Song family village.
From the beginning to the end, Gu Yi did not tell Song Wan Yue that she was not at home, and when the people had gone far away, he also got up and went back to the house, instructing Xiao Si to say a few words.
In the carriage, Gu Hui’s face was gloomy, her body filled with an air of violent anger, and her personal maid, Mo Ju, shrank to one side, trying to reduce her presence.
“Rubbish!”
Gu Hui snapped, and Mo Ju shivered in fear, pressing further into the corner.
She was a maid of the Mo House, Gu Hui had only come to serve after she married into the Mo family, the madam used to be followed by the Gu family’s accompanying maid, and only after that maid had fallen ill and died had she been able to serve close by.
The lady seems gentle and kind, generous, but if something happens, she will deal with her subordinates harshly, just like that car driver just now, if not for young master Gu’s protection, I’m afraid he would be a corpse now.
“I should have disposed of him earlier if I had known he would be trapped!”
Knowing that she was talking about the coachman, Mo Ju dared not say anything even more.
“Why are you hiding so far away, get over here!”
Mo Ju leaned over with trepidation, “Fu, madam.”
“Keep your mouth shut, if someone else pries it open, see if I don’t pick your skin!”
“Madam, don’t worry, even if I die, I won’t say a word.”
……
They were riding in the Gu family’s carriage, the carriage driver came and drove straight to the entrance of the Song family and stopped, Gu Hui did not come down, Mo Ju walked to the door, “Is there anyone there?”
Song Lin came out of the house, “Who are you looking for?”
“Our madam is a friend of Miss Song’s and has come here specifically to look for her.”
Yue’s friend?
Song Lin gave her a good once-over, seeing that she was not dressed in the usual way, her heart rose with alarm, “Yue’er is not at home, what do you want?”
“May I ask what Miss Song has gone to do, could you please go and shout for us?”
Seeing how impatient she was, Song Lin became even more wary, “Who exactly is your lady? Why are you looking for Yue’er?”
Xu heard the sound from inside the house and put down her embroidery work and came out, Mo Ju hurriedly bowed towards her, “Our madam is Young Master Gu’s elder sister, the other day Miss Song went to the Gu family and met our eldest miss as soon as she could, today our madam happened to be free and came to see her.”
As soon as she heard it was someone from the Gu family, Song Lin’s anger rose, “We are not familiar with the Gu family, please go back to wherever you came from and don’t come back in the future.”
Mo Ju was about to say something else when Song Lin glared, “What, do you want me to kick you out?”
Mo Ju hurriedly withdrew from the courtyard.
Gu Hui listened clearly from the carriage and snorted disdainfully, this Song family was really more than capable of pretending, condoning their daughter to seduce her stupid brother, and then pretending to be noble and clean when they saw that the person had taken the bait.
“Madam.”
Mo Ju lifted the carriage curtain for instructions.
Gu Hui hated to turn around and go back, from Miss Gu to Madam Mo, she had never suffered this kind of anger, but if she went back like this, her silly brother would definitely make an endless scene.
When she thought of the unpredictable look in Gu Yi’s eyes that she had never seen before, Gu Hui forced down the fire in her heart, “Go ask around and see what people have been doing.”
Mo Ju went to ask around.
Everyone in the village had gone to the fields and almost all the households were empty, she went all the way out a long way before she saw someone walking around in a courtyard and hurriedly walked over quickly, “Excuse me, do you know Song Wan Yue?”
Song Ming disliked the food and didn’t eat a few bites, now he was hungry and came out of the house to find something to eat in the kitchen, when he heard someone asking Song Wan Yue, he stopped and turned around to see a woman dressed as a maid standing not far away, his eyes quickly turned around a few times, turned around and walked over, “Yes, I am his uncle.”
Mo Ju was overjoyed, “Do you know where she has gone at this hour?”
“Of course I know.”
“Then where did she go?”
Song Ming didn’t answer, instead he looked at her carefully for a few moments, “Why do you ask?”
“It’s this ……”
Mo Ju said what she had just said to Xu and Song Lin again.
Hearing that it was someone from the Gu family, Song Ming grinned, “I know that I know, but who am I to tell you?”
Mo Ju froze.
“There’s no such thing as asking things for nothing in this world.”
Mo Ju understood and hurriedly took out her purse and pulled out a few copper coins to give to him.
Song Ming weighed them in his hand and looked at her bulging purse, “I say you’re sending the beggar away, I tell you, no one in this village dares to tell you where Song Wan Yue is except me. If you don’t believe me, just go door to door and ask.”
Mo Ju had already gone door to door, but there was no one in any of the houses, so where could she ask? She had no choice but to give him another dozen coins.
Song Ming took it, still looking at her.
Mo Ju took out all the coins in her purse and gave them to him.
Only then was Song Ming satisfied, clutching the coins in his hand, “She’s gone to the county to set up a stall and won’t be back until noon.”
Mo Ju hurriedly went back to report.
It was only just past the hour, still far from noon, so Gu Hui did not want to wait, so she ordered the coachman to turn around and go back.
The carriage had just driven two miles out of Song’s village when there was a click!
^0^ One second to remember [].
a very loud sound.
The coachman hurriedly stopped the carriage and jumped off to inspect it, and when he saw that the wheel had actually cracked a seam, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, “Missy, the carriage is broken!”
Gu Hui opened the curtain of the carriage in anger, the moment she saw the coachman she remembered that she was riding in the Gu family’s carriage, immediately her anger retracted to squeeze out a gentle face, her voice carried a suppressed to distorted mildness, “Is it serious?”
The carriage driver was so scared that he didn’t notice the change in her face, “It’s serious. Miss, you’d better get down before you get hurt.”
Gu Hui came down and was scared when she saw the crack. It was lucky that it was on a small road, the carriage could not run that fast.
“What should we do?”
The coachman took the reins, “Miss, find a place to rest first, I’ll drive the carriage back first and change to another carriage.”
Gu Hui waved, signalling him to hurry.
The coachman drove the carriage far away, and only then did Gu Hui look around, there were crops everywhere, where was there a place to rest her feet.
Gu Hui directed all her anger at Mo Ju, “Stupid, why don’t you come over and help me!”
Mo Ju came over and helped her along, but before she got very far, both of their clothes were soaked through, and Gu Hui’s make-up was blown and her hairpin was crooked, not to mention her feet, which were so sore that she didn’t want to take a step.
I’ve finished this chapter, so happy reading! ^0^
