The day of the Great Cold is Gu Yunqing’s birthday. At this moment, she was walking hard by the windy river in a thin dress. Last night, a heavy snow crushed her and her wet nurse’s simple thatched hut. The wet nurse pressed the thickest clothes in her house on her, and her already weak body suddenly fell ill. Just at dawn this morning, Gu Yunqing came to the river to find some scattered reeds to repair the roof.
The wind and snow were heavy by the river, and nothing could be seen outside five steps. Gu Yunqing stepped into the deep snow nest wearing a pair of thin straw shoes. Her legs were already numb. She stepped on the snow nest hard, as if she was stepping on Gu Lan’s face.
“I’ll give you a winter consideration. As long as you get married for your sister, I will move your mother into the ancestral hall of my Gu family. The wet nurse who takes care of you can also be treated. There will be a lot of money to support her in the rest of her life without worries about food and clothing.” Gu Lan’s words were vivid in her mind. Gu Yunqing found a reed that had not been blown down by the wind and took out the sickle behind her and cut it hard, as if it was cut on Song’s face.
Everything was because of this woman. Ten years ago, her mother was beaten to death by Gu Lan on the charge of having sex with the servant girl. It was because this woman could not help but get into the trap of the main room!
“Master! I don’t! I don’t!” Gu Yunqing’s mother Yan knelt on the ground and was grabbed by the slave behind him and defended Gu Lan with his hair.
“Hmph, everyone has evidence and physical evidence, you still dare to argue! Chungu sees everything! You are hanging out with the servant in your side room! Look at what this is!” Gu Lan’s face turned red, and she threw the thing in her hand on Yan’s face, and Yan’s face turned pale in an instant.
“Master, this is not…”
“Do you dare to say that this bellyband is not yours?!” Gu Lan glared at Yan fiercely and roared.
Song Chunqin walked to Gu Lan a few steps and whispered, “Master, I don’t think my sister did it on purpose. Maybe there is any misunderstanding…”
Gu Lan hugged Song Chunqin and said gently, “Chunqin, you are too kind. This person has evidence and evidence. This bitch is not to be cherished. You are pregnant with a child in your stomach. You can’t see these bloody blood. Go back quickly.”
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Yan, who was pale and roared, “Drag this bitch out and beat him to death!”
Yan looked at Gu Lan fiercely and shouted, “Gu Lan, if it weren’t for my father protecting you, how could you have today’s glory and wealth! Now that I see my mother’s family decline, I will kill me to make Song’s family the official! You two snakes and rats are in a nest, and you will not die well!”
Before he finished speaking, he was dragged out by the guards. Gu Yunqing, who was only seven years old, knelt on the ground and hugged Gu Lan’s thighs and begged: “Dad, please let your mother go, let your mother go!”
“You are the girl of this bitch, and you are also a bastard. The person who came to drag it out and threw it away!” Gu Lan roared at Gu Yunqing with hatred.
A servant came over toGu Yunqing hugged her and dragged her out.
The heavy rain was pouring, and Gu Yunqing, who was only seven years old, watched his mother wailing in the rain, and blood mixed with the rain flowed through Gu Yunqing’s toes and seeped into the mud.
“Mother!”
“Yunqing!”
It was raining heavily that year, and Gu Yunqing was thrown out of the Gu Mansion. If it weren’t for the adoption of the wet nurse, she would have become a lonely ghost. Now the wet nurse is old and her health is getting worse day by day, so Gu Yunqing had to find a way to make money to treat her wet nurse.
He returned to the hut with the reeds in his arms. A hunched man lay on the dilapidated bed. Gu Yunqing shouted in a low voice, “Husband.”
The Husband struggled to open his eyes and coughed and was about to sit up, but was stopped by Gu Yunqing. He lit the wet firewood and boiled the medicine. Looking at the last bit of medicine residue left, Gu Yunqing turned his head and looked at the wet nurse who was constantly coughing, and made a secret decision in his heart.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the day when the dragon raised its head on February 2nd of the fifth year of Shengyuan. February 2nd is the day for the people of Xiliang and the day when Gu Yunqing was taken into his house.
