Chapter 168 Hey, it turns out it’s an old acquaintance
Gui Da's wife immediately walked out of the yard. When she saw Su Jixue, she almost couldn't control her expression. She forced a smile and greeted her, "Miss, you are here. I'm sorry for not preparing for your hospitality in advance! Please come in quickly."
Su Jixue raised her chin and glanced at Gui Da's wife, and said arrogantly: "Then where are you planning to invite me to go?"
As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at the front and back yards with a look of disdain.
"Mother is sick now, so we can only ask the eldest lady to go to the backyard!" Gui Da said and winked at Gui Dasao, asking her to take the eldest lady to the backyard.
Su Jixue looked at Twelve meaningfully and exchanged a look with him that only they could understand.
There's something fishy going on in the backyard.
They come from the Great Wilderness Mountains and are most sensitive to malice and murderous intent.
"Backyard?" Su Jixue turned to look at Mrs. Gui and said with a hint of disdain, "If it's too simple, I won't want it."
"My dear, the backyard of our house was built later and is definitely better than the front yard. It is usually used to receive officials from the capital who come here to burn incense." Sister Gui quickly said with a smile, "I will definitely satisfy you, my dear."
"Please come in, Miss." Gui Da bowed and extended his arm to invite Su Jixue to the backyard as a guest.
Su Jixue glanced at the east and west wing rooms in the front yard as if nothing had happened. She could hear that there was more than one person breathing inside.
And they should all be martial artists.
Gui Mingzhu didn't feel anything unusual, but as she looked at her backyard, the hatred in her heart continued to grow.
In fact, the Gui family is not short of money, but she is always the unpaid laborer.
In the past, Gui Xiaocao was the only one who cleaned the front and back yards. If she didn't clean them well, she would be scolded and beaten.
But even so, it couldn't avoid being sold in the end.
Although Gui Mingzhu didn't know what her sister was thinking, since her sister said that it was to let her vent her anger, she felt confident.
Gui Mingzhu walked in front. She was the one who had been cleaning and tidying up the backyard before, so she knew very well where the place was that could receive the eldest lady, and she walked over first.
But as soon as he arrived at the reception hall of the main house in the backyard, he was held at gunpoint with a dagger, and the hall was full of people.
It looks like he has bad intentions.
Gui Mingzhu's first reaction was to quickly remind Su Jixue: "Sister, run!"
The moment she spoke, Twelve had already arrived in front of her. Before the man with the dagger was about to stab her, he kicked the dagger away and pulled Gui Mingzhu behind him.
But in a flash, the two of them were surrounded by people in the inner room.
Su Jixue, who was alone at the back, was about to have a sword put to her neck.
Everything is in the blink of an eye.
Gui Da, who had been servile just now, immediately straightened his chest and looked at Gui Mingzhu with disdain: "You damn girl, why didn't you come to play with me earlier? Why did you come back at this time? You are really a jinx!"
"Did you catch them? Did you catch them?!" Aunt Gui, who had declared herself ill, rushed over from the front yard. Seeing that Su Jixue and the other two had been restrained, she couldn't help but grin, "I think you're really looking for death today!"
"Keep your voice down!" The person who restrained Su Jixue frowned and said. You know, there are neighbors around, and it will be troublesome if they are heard.
Twelve turned his eyes to look at Su Jixue, and seeing Su Jixue's feigned shock, he immediately turned his eyes away without even looking at her.
"Who are you and what are you doing?!" Su Jixue asked fearfully, then turned to look at Aunt Gui angrily: "Are you trying to murder me?!"
"Murder you?!" Aunt Gui rolled her eyes. "There's a road to heaven, but you don't take it. There's no door to hell, but you've come here on your own! You're so unlucky that you have to go to hell and die!"
Aunt Gui looked at Su Jixue as if she were an enemy. If it weren't for Su Jixue, her daughter would have been the blessed eldest daughter of the Su family.
Su Jixue blocked Su Mingyue's path to success and now she is here to die. This time she can forget about going back!
"Are you crazy? Do you know what the eldest lady's identity is now?!" Gui Mingzhu didn't know that Su Jixue was pretending. It was the first time she saw Su Jixue being restrained. The anger in her heart made her overcome her fear and asked.
"What is your identity? What are you yelling about, you little girl? You really deserve a beating!" Aunt Gui glared at Gui Mingzhu fiercely.
Su Jixue's eyes had already swept over the people who restrained them. There were two people in front and behind her, and one of them had a sword at her neck.
There were four people surrounding Twelve, and there were other people in the room.
The Gui family is really looking for death.
Su Jixue could recognize that those who stayed at the Gui family were from Nanqing.
These people should be the ones who are waiting for Zong Kui outside. Gui Mingzhu's words might make them have other thoughts.
Sure enough, Gui Mingzhu's words immediately attracted the attention of the people in Nanqing.
"Who is she?" A deep voice came from the main house in the backyard. It sounded like she had been in a high position for a long time and should be the leader of these people.
Su Jixue's ears moved slightly.
Huh? !
It’s an old acquaintance!
Dong Su is one of the four Dharma protectors around Zong Kui.
I actually hit a big fish!
"Sir, don't listen to what that dead girl says. Su Jixue is nothing but a fake daughter!" Aunt Gui quickly walked into the main room in the backyard and said with an apologetic smile.
"Sir, this is unknown to the outside world, only our family knows about it."
Aunt Gui came over and told her the story of the real and fake daughter of the prime minister.
Gui Mingzhu was furious. She knew the Gui family was bad, but she hadn't expected them to be this bad. Although she didn't know who these people were, she knew that if she didn't reveal their identities, they would definitely kill her.
"You haven't heard any news from the capital here. The eldest lady is no longer just the eldest lady!" Gui Mingzhu was very angry: "The Empress Dowager issued a special decree for the eldest lady!"
"What imperial decree?!" Dong Su asked coldly. That night, they saw the urgent summons of fireworks, and they knew that something had happened to Diao Zongkui in the capital.
However, there were many secret agents from Nanqing in the capital, and some important officials from Dongchu were collaborators with Nanqing.
Therefore, their four Dharma protectors did not enter the city, but waited outside the city as originally planned.
But in the end, no one was reached.
No one expected that martial law would be imposed in the capital. They missed the best time for rescue and could only wait outside.
As soon as the capital was allowed entry, Nan Su and his group entered the capital.
Now the only one guarding outside is Dongsu.
They have been waiting for a turning point, but now it seems that this turning point is about to come.
"Sir, don't listen to this damn girl, she's just talking nonsense!" Aunt Gui interrupted quickly for fear of an accident, but she was slapped hard in the face as soon as she finished speaking.
"Don't interrupt when the master is asking questions!" Dong Su's men said viciously.
"Mom!" Gui Da rushed forward and saw that Aunt Gui had lost a tooth due to being beaten, but she was just angry and dared not say anything.
"Now the eldest lady is the future consort of Prince Zhan, so the imperial decree is naturally an imperial decree granting the marriage!" Gui Mingzhu glared at the leader: "Aren't you afraid of offending Prince Zhan if you dare to touch the eldest lady?!"
