It rained again in Yuecheng.

The footsteps of winter, and finally can't wait to step into this bustling big city.

Gu Qingzhou did not see Si Xingpei again for a long time, nor did he go to the military governor's mansion again.

She heard from Yan Luoshui that Si Qiongzhi, the third miss of the military governor's mansion, was still staying in Yuecheng. The governor did not give up on her and decided to re-educate her.

"...The Overseer asked Si Qiongzhi to go to St. John's University to study medicine. My dad asked me, after graduating next year, if I want to stay in St. John's to study medicine." Yan Luoshui said.

Si Qiongzhi is no longer a young lady who is simply raised in a deep house to eat, drink, and play. The commander-in-chief asked her to study Western medicine and become a military doctor in the future. When the war breaks out, she can go to the battlefield.

Mrs. Si was unhappy, thinking that this was an expedient measure, and did not dare to object.

In this way, Si Qiongzhi stayed in Yuecheng, and the commander-in-chief forgave her for her mistakes.

"Actually, I really want to learn Western medicine." Gu Qingzhou said, "It is great to have tolerance. Understanding Western medicine is more beneficial to the development of Chinese medicine."

"If you want to go to St. John's, we can go together. I'm not going abroad anyway." Yan Luoshui said.

There are five children in the Yan family. Yan Luoshui's eldest brother and third sister both live abroad. There can be no one around their parents without Chenghuan's knees. by the parents.

She will not take the road of studying abroad.

The daughter of the chief of staff of the military government, Yan Luoshui is not worried about marriage, she does not need to brush a layer of gold powder to show her value.

"Let's talk about it." Gu Qingzhou hesitated, not daring to speak lightly about the future.

Her future is in the hands of Si Xingpei, and she can't help herself.

Yan Luoshui also thought of this, looked at Gu Qingzhou worriedly, and sighed softly.

"...Qingzhou, I think Si Xingpei is not bad." Yan Luoshui said suddenly.

Gu Qingzhou was slightly surprised and glanced at Yan Luoshui.

Did you say before that Si Xingpei is the dirtiest?

"Abba said that he was very attentive to you, and he insisted on not letting go of you. He should like you very much." Yan Luoshui said.

Gu Qingzhou was silent.

Like, what's the use?

Gu Qingzhou met him from the beginning, and it was a wrong start.

"I don't like him." Gu Qingzhou said, "so no matter how nice he is or how he likes me, it means nothing to me. Just like I can't eat spicy food, no matter how good spicy dishes are, right It's also poison to me."

Yan Luoshui nodded.

"Doesn't my mind matter, I don't have the right to choose which kind of man I love?" Gu Qingzhou asked rhetorically.

Yan Luoshui immediately said: "Of course there is. Qingzhou is sorry, I have no other intentions..."

"I know." Gu Qingzhou held her hand.

She looked out the window, thin raindrops fell on the window, scattered vertically and horizontally.

She sank even more.

She can't wait or she doesn't love Si Xingpei, why?

Does she also suspect that she has fallen into a trap?

Such thoughts made Gu Qingzhou feel cold all over.

Chatting with Gu Shao in the evening, Gu Qingzhou also talked about the medical department of St. John's University.

Gu Shao said: "St. John's University is the best university in East China. If you want to study, it has a good future."

Gu Qingzhou said: "I didn't think about it before, and then I thought again, some people say that war is a stone rolling down the mountain, no one can stop it, it will come to us sooner or later. I can't carry a gun to fight, be a military doctor and nurse, but Not bad."

"It doesn't have to be like this." Gu Shao said, "We are not a family of soldiers, and we don't have such responsibilities. If there is turmoil, just avoid it."

Gu Qingzhou did not refute Gu Shao, but nodded.

She doesn't know where her future is going, so let's forget about her plan to go to university.

She asked Gu Shao again, "Have you found anything recently?"

Gu Shao paused.

He is not good at lying, so his eyes wandered and he said, "No."

This shows what he found.

Why can't you say it?

Gu Qingzhou herself has too many things that she can't tell others, so she understands what "unspeakable concealment" means.

Gu Shao covered it up, but Gu Qingzhou pretended not to know, and said with a smile, "Brother, go ahead and check, and tell me if you need money."

Gu Shao nodded.

"However, I can conclude that 60% of me is not the child of the Gu family." Gu Shao said suddenly.

He lowered his eyes and asked in an almost mournful voice, "If I wasn't the family's child, would you alienate me because of this?"

"Of course not, you will always be my brother!" Gu Qingzhou said.

Gu Shao smiled, the smile was a little relieved, but at the same time a little bitter.

In Yuecheng in early winter, the weekends are cloudy and rainy, as if God deliberately opposes people and traps them at home.

Gu Qingzhou thought about the final exam. Her foundation was too poor, and she took another 20 days off. If she wanted to get good grades in the final exam, she naturally needed to be more attentive.

On the morning of the weekend, there was a thin drizzle, and Gu Qingzhou wore a quilted robe and went to the pavilion in the back garden to recite the national language.

She could have been in the room or balcony, but she was afraid of waking Gu Shao.

Gu Shao has lost a lot of weight recently, and he is not as energetic as before.

His identity almost overwhelmed him. And now he is still guarding a secret that cannot be made clear to Gu Qingzhou, which is even more burdensome.

The pavilion in the back garden has fresh air. Although the bottom of his sleeves is cold, it makes his mind clear. Gu Qingzhou took out the Chinese textbook and recited it carefully.

Then, she heard the cry.

The cry was not loud, and it was sobbing.

As soon as he looked up, Gu Qingzhou saw the fourth aunt, Xiangxue, who was crying alone on the railing of the balcony.

The fourth concubine did not expect that someone was in the back garden so early, and when she saw Gu Qingzhou unexpectedly, the fourth concubine immediately turned around and went back to the room.

"Why is she crying?" Gu Qingzhou thought, "Could it be that something happened to her child who was taken away by Qin Zhengzheng?"

Gu Qingzhou has not been in contact with the fourth concubine recently, because the fourth concubine is in Qin Zhengzheng's hands, and she is allowed to be dispatched by Qin Zhengzheng.

Even if she wanted to get close to Gu Qingzhou, she couldn't help herself.

Gu Qingzhou came back after memorizing the Chinese language for half an hour. Most of the family went downstairs for breakfast, except Gu Shao.

The fourth auntie's eyes were puffy, and she didn't dare to look at Gu Qingzhou.

It is not new to wake up with swollen eyes in the morning, and no one noticed the strangeness of the fourth concubine.

The fourth concubine had no appetite. When she was drinking porridge, Gu Qingzhou felt that it was painful for her to swallow.

After breakfast, Gu Qingzhou went upstairs to do her homework, and found that the Chinese textbook was in the dining room, so she came down to pick it up.

As a result, she saw the fourth concubine and the second concubine sitting on the sofa in the living room.

The fourth concubine said to the second concubine: "...I don't really want to eat pigeons. It would be best if there was an old hen stewed with ginseng."

"That's fine, I'll tell the master." Mrs. Er said, "You're pregnant, just say what you want to eat, it's okay."

The fourth aunt nodded.

Seeing Gu Qingzhou standing lightly on the winding stairs, the fourth aunt was startled and her expression changed slightly.

With such a big reaction, Gu Qingzhou was a little puzzled.

It's as if someone who did bad things was caught.

Is the fourth aunt doing something bad?

In Gu Qingzhou's view, she just wanted an old hen to eat.

The second concubine was also surprised. She turned her head and saw Gu Qingzhou. She smiled and said, "Miss Qingzhou, we are talking about replenishing the fat in winter. Do you have anything to eat?"

"I heard that the old hen stewed ginseng soup, which is a good qi-boosting product." Gu Qingzhou said.

"Do you want to eat too?" said the second aunt with a smile, "That's ok, let's make up for it. I'll call the kitchen to prepare two old hens."

That night, Mansion Gu ate old hen soup.

Qin Zhengzheng was in a very good mood, and even chatted and laughed with his second wife, talking about chicken soup.

Even the old lady rarely finds fault or scolds Gu Qingzhou.

But Gu Qingzhou always felt that something was wrong.

The fourth concubine's cry, and when Gu Qingzhou heard her talk about ginseng chicken soup, with such a big reaction, there should be something wrong with this chicken soup.

No problem now, it is estimated that something is still paving the way.

Gu Qingzhou can't guess what will happen now.

Qin Zhengzheng's pleasure told her keenly that something big would definitely happen at home.

"...Wei Er Shao asked Xianhang to go to the movies tomorrow." After dinner, Qin Zhengzheng happily told Gu Guizhang.

The Wei family is the mayor and a high-ranking official of the city government. Of course, such a family is very good.

Gu Xiang is beautiful and knowledgeable, and at the same time he has returned from studying abroad, so he is worthy of Young Master Wei.

"Girls' house, don't always run out." Gu Guizhang said, "It's nothing to make friends, you have to know how to be reserved."

This was a casual exhortation, Gu Guizhang wished that Gu Xiang could not be together with Wei Gongzi every day.

The old lady didn't understand Gu Guizhang's hypocrisy, so she was unhappy: "Oh, you light boat, you still go to school all day, you are immoral, how come you are not reserved enough?"

Gu Qingzhou suffered an innocent disaster.

She didn't speak because she was thinking about something.

The hookup between Gu Zhang and the Wei family has been going on for several months, and the progress has been very slow. It can be seen that the second son of Wei is not particularly enthusiastic about Gu Zhang, maybe just for fun.

Men are not sticky during their passionate love period, indicating that they are not interested at all.

Gu Qingzhou was outside the bureau, and naturally understood this truth, but Gu Xiang and Qin Zhengzheng were looking forward to climbing the high branches, but they didn't feel it.

"...Qin Zhengzheng also hopes that Gu Xiang will be the daughter-in-law of the Wei family. At this moment, seizing power is the main thing. She is in such a good mood, and she takes the initiative to talk about the Wei family. She must have thought of a way to deal with the second aunt. Too much." Gu Qingzhou thought to himself.

What can be done?

What does this have to do with the fourth concubine's cry?

Gu Qingzhou's thoughts were a bit messy, and he couldn't make up his mind.

It wasn't that Gu Qingzhou suddenly became stupid, but the relationship between Qin Zhengzheng and the fourth concubine. Gu Qingzhou didn't know how deep the entanglement behind them was.

Gu Qingzhou didn't know what kind of risk Si Yintai would take for Qin Zhengzheng, or for the hostage in Qin Zhengzheng's hands.

This is Gu Qingzhou's biggest doubt.

"Qin Zhengzheng is in such a good mood, she is sure of everything." Gu Qingzhou thought.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingzhou glanced at the fourth concubine again.

The fourth concubine lowered her head inexplicably and did not dare to look at Gu Qingzhou.

"Could it be that they want to involve me again?" Gu Qingzhou thought to himself.

She thought about it a lot, and the fourth concubine's cry floated in front of her, she always felt that this was the biggest key.

The fourth aunt was desperate.

In Qin Zhengzheng's plan, Gu Qingzhou can only think of one thing that can make the fourth concubine so desperate.

This made Gu Qingzhou horrified.
