Chapter 613 Provocation
"Ma'am, it's not as bad as your family, you can't..." Guo Dong looked at Min Xian in horror.
"Not as good as my family? Why didn't you say that when you shot my son!"
There was a mocking smile on the corner of Min Xian's lips.
Does Guo Dong have the nerve to say such words?
"This……"
Guo Dong was at a loss for words.
"I don't have time for you to think about it. I'll count to three. If you don't cooperate, then wait for the whole family to accompany you to suffer this crime!"
As soon as Min Xian finished speaking, she began to count.
"3"
"2"
……
"Madam! The slave agrees, the slave agrees!"
There was a thick layer of sweat on Guo Dong's forehead, which was enough to see how nervous he was at this time.
Although he hesitated, he still agreed at the last second before Min Xian finished counting.
After all, if you want to compare Shi Yinglan, in Guo Dong's heart, his family is more important.
"Shi Yinglan's matter is honest and clear, and then sign it!"
The maid brought a pen and paper for Guo Dong to write by himself.
As the housekeeper of the Guo Mansion, Guo Dong is naturally literate.
Guo Dong lay on the ground, picked up the pen, sighed, and began to write tremblingly.
Because he was worried that if the writing was not comprehensive enough, Min Xian would be dissatisfied and would still take action against his family, so Guo Dong wrote down everything Shi Yinglan did in detail.
Most of them were things that Shi Yinglan did to drive a wedge between Guo Jia and Min Xian.
Min Xian didn't care much about these things, she had already given up on Guo Jia.
Among them, there are two things that concern her the most.
One thing is of course the buying and murdering incident this time. After Chu Zhuang approached her, Shi Yinglan began to plan.
As for another thing.
That was the disappearance of Guo Wen and Guo Wu five years ago.
This matter was also arranged by Shi Yinglan!
Back then, Min Xian thought it was because she was careless and didn't take good care of her, that's why she let Guo Wen and Guo Wu walk out of the mansion and got lost.
But unexpectedly, it was Shi Yinglan who bribed the maid beside her, and then tied Guo Wen and Guo Wu out of the mansion!
Seeing this, Min Xian's eyes were full of killing intent.
Originally, she was already murderous towards Shi Yinglan about this incident.
After knowing that Shi Yinglan was responsible for Guo Wen and Guo Wu's disappearance, it was even more impossible for Min Xian to let Shi Yinglan go.
"Send someone to watch Shi Yinglan carefully, don't let her die easily."
Min Xian looked at the maid and ordered.
She wanted Shi Yinglan to suffer a painful death after suffering so much!
……
"Master, save this concubine, madam, she wants my concubine's life!"
Shi Yinglan knelt in front of Guo Jia and begged bitterly.
After all, Guo Jia was worried about Shi Yinglan and worried that Min Xian would kill her, so he came here specially to see her.
Shi Yinglan naturally wants to seize this rare opportunity. If she makes a mistake, she doesn't know whether Guo Jia will come again in the future.
"Tell me what you did?"
Guo Jia looked at Shi Yinglan with her hands behind her back, her eyes filled with boredom.
It's not like he didn't know how much Min Xian liked Guo Wen and Guo Wu.
It's fine if it's other things, but Shi Yinglan took action against Guo Wen and Guo Wu. Guo Jia's ability to save him from being sent to the yamen is already very good.
As for the others, Guo Jia really couldn't do it.
"The concubine did this only for An'er's consideration!"
Shi Yinglan burst into tears, if it was in the past, matching her beauty would surely trigger Guo Jia's compassion.
but now……
Her face was covered with horrible scars, Guo Jia didn't even dare to look at her from the beginning to the end, let alone feel sorry for her.
"My lord, you can also see An'er's talent. If Guo Wen and Guo Wu come back, then An'er will not be able to continue studying in the Imperial College."
Shi Yinglan knew that she had no advantage in front of Guo Jia, so she immediately moved Guo Jia out.
Since Guo Wen and Guo Wu disappeared, Guo Jia devoted all his efforts to Guo An.
Guo An's achievements today are also inseparable from Guo Jia's teaching, which is also what Guo Jia is most proud of.
"Even if they come back, I will let An'er stay in the Imperial College."
Guo Jia frowned, Guo An had his own arrangements, and this was definitely not the reason for Shi Yinglan to murder Guo Wen and Guo Wu.
"I will let Min Xian save your life, you should reflect on yourself in this ancestral hall!"
Seeing that Shi Yinglan was not dead, Guo Jia was relieved and did not intend to stay for a long time, but was about to leave.
Seeing this, Shi Yinglan was anxious, she quickly hugged Guo Jia's leg, and tried to persuade her to stay: "Master, I beg you to save this concubine, let my wife let me go out, I really know I was wrong."
"Madam will not let the concubine go, she hates the concubine in her heart, and at the same time hates the master, yes! Madam, she must have a lot of complaints about you, the master..."
Even at the last moment, Shi Yinglan never forgot to provoke the relationship between the two.
Although these words were very provocative, Guo Jia obviously listened to him.
Min Xian's threatening words are still in his ears, even though Min Xian will not expose him.
But is Guo Jia really willing to be subject to Min Xian all the time?
Especially now that Min Xian has imprisoned all the servants in the mansion, including even the servants serving Guo Jia, she obviously doesn't take him seriously at all.
Guo Jia can bear it for a while, but can he endure it forever?
Shi Yinglan originally said these words out of habit in a panic, but seeing Guo Jia's expression, she immediately understood that Guo Jia was really dissatisfied with Min Xian.
Thinking about what happened in the flower hall before, Shi Yinglan understood that Guo Jia must have something in Min Xian's hands.
Min Xian and Guo Jia are childhood sweethearts and young couples, so it's not surprising that Guo Jia has something in Min Xian's hands.
Otherwise, according to Guo Jia's temperament, he would definitely not be willing to be threatened by Min Xian all the time.
"Master, Madam has been dissatisfied with you for a long time. After she recognized Guo Wen and Guo Wu, and took control of the back house, it is not certain whether she will take action against you, Master!" Shi Yinglan was delighted to see that these words were useful, and went further. He forked a knife into Guo Dong's heart.
Guo Jia narrowed his eyes, and after a while he said thoughtfully, "It's not Min Xian's turn to be the master of the Guo Mansion!"
Originally, Guo Jia wanted to be patient for a while. After all, Min Xian is still angry now. When her anger subsides, maybe she won't be so extreme.
But now listening to Shi Yinglan's words, Guo Jia became suspicious.
If Min Xian was really let go, not only did it not calm down Min Xian, but it made her arrogance go up to a higher level?
If she has completely controlled the Guo Mansion, will there be room for him to speak in the mansion in the future?
Even, as Shi Yinglan said, when will Min Xian make a move on him?
If he died, the Guo family would belong to Guo Wen, which would be more like Min Xian's wish.
Once Guo Jia got up, he couldn't let it go.
Guo Jia finally left, but Shi Yinglan looked at Guo Jia's leaving back with a cruel smile on her lips.
She knew that Guo Jia was dissatisfied with Min Xian.
As long as Min Xian is dealt with by Guo Jia, then she still has hope.
Even if she loses her face, she can still win over Guo Jia as long as she buys a few beautiful skinny horses. After all, Guo An is her greatest strength!
What Guo Jia and Shi Yinglan didn't know was that all the conversations between the two were overheard by the maid who was hiding in the ancestral hall and monitoring Shi Yinglan.
After Guo Jia left, the maid quietly left the ancestral hall.
It's just that she went in a different direction from Guo Jia. She went to Min Xian's yard in the backyard and told her what she had just seen.
"Master was tempted by that bitch?" Min Xian asked with raised eyebrows.
"Looking at the appearance of the master, I am a little moved, and the master also said that it is not Guo Jia's turn to make decisions for you, madam." The maid replied with Guo Jia's original words.
"Ah!"
When Min Xian heard this, she was not angry, but showed a mocking smile.
"Guo Jia's reading really ruined his mind. Before, it was easy to be persuaded by Shi Yinglan with a few words. I can't imagine that after so many years, he is still so stupid!"
In the past, Shi Yinglan used to deceive Guo Jia around and often provoke the relationship between Min Xian and Guo Jia.
Min Xian already had heart knots about Guo Jia's marriage to Shi Yinglan, and Guo Jia listened to and believed in Shi Yinglan, so she gave up on Guo Jia a long time ago.
He just controlled the backyard and devoted himself to raising Guo Wen and Guo Wu.
Now Min Xian still wants to do so.
If Guo Jia is honest, then they can still be a couple who respect each other as guests and maintain the superficial peace.
But if Guo Jia really annoyed her...
Then don't blame her for not thinking about the past love!
"Send someone to watch the master and see what he's been doing recently." Min Xian looked at the maid and ordered.
She wants to clear away all the obstacles in the mansion, and then welcome Guo Wen and Guo Wu back.
In this matter, whoever dares to stop him will be an enemy of Min Xian.
When dealing with enemies, Min Xian has never been merciful!
……
"Wear it well, it looks great!"
Yunmengxi arranged the clothes for Chu Zhuang, admired them, and nodded with satisfaction.
Chu Zhuang wore the navy blue Hanlin official uniform, which looked very comfortable.
"Do you want to enter the palace today?"
Chu Zhuang smiled, looked at Yunmengxi and asked.
"Well, go in and have a look at the Empress Dowager's grandmother, um... by the way..."
Although Yunmengxi didn't finish speaking, both of them understood the meaning of the words.
The purpose is to see the Queen Mother, but at the same time, I also want to see the scene where Chu Lianqing unveiled the Golden Buddha after taking office today!
They waited for so long, but finally it was this day, and Yunmengxi naturally wanted to see it with his own eyes.
"Be careful, this matter cannot be reminiscent of us."
Chu Zhuang didn't stop Yunmengxi, but just reminded him.
"Don't worry, I know!" Yunmengxi immediately responded.
The two packed up and left.
Yun Mengxi first sent Chu Zhuang to the entrance of the Imperial Academy, and after seeing Chu Zhuang go in, he went to the palace.
