Chapter 624 This is what he deserves
When the fourth young master came out of the yard, there was a person sitting on the ground opposite the yard gate, leaning against the wall.
Perhaps because it was cold at night, she was wearing a large pink cloak with the brim covering her entire head.
Hearing the footsteps, the man raised his head from the ground and the brim of his hat fell down a little.
The fourth young master could only barely see the uncovered part of the face, lips and chin from the candlelight of the lantern in his hand. It was a girl.
"You? What are you doing?" He was dazed for a moment and barely recognized that the person sitting on the ground was his sister.
Gu Chaoxi blinked. The brim of the hat blocked her vision. She could only see the other person's legs and the lantern in his hand.
She raised her hand and moved the brim of his hat upwards a little, and then she could see the Fourth Young Master's entire appearance clearly.
The black clothes almost hid him in the darkness, and his face had a bit of the coldness of the late night.
"What about you? What are you going to do?" Gu Chaoxi stood up from the ground by supporting himself against the wall.
I sat at the gate of the yard for too long and my butt started to hurt. Now both my legs are numb and I feel like I won’t be able to stand steadily in the next second.
The Fourth Young Master was stunned by her question. He didn't react for a moment and just stood there in silence.
"Is it a secret that cannot be told? Or is it that I, as your sister, am not trustworthy, so that there are some things that I don't even have the right to know?"
She leaned against the wall, bent slightly, lowered her eyes and did not look at the Fourth Young Master.
But the person opposite him shook slightly, obviously she was right.
"What does my sister know?"
Gu Chaoxi smiled, stood up, stamped her feet lightly, walked towards him, and took his arm to walk into the house.
"It's cold outside and I'm a little chilly. Let's talk inside."
After the two men walked into the house, Pei Yan came out from the corner, looked up at the courtyard door that was half-closed by the Fourth Young Master, put on a large black cloak, and then walked in a certain direction.
Gu Chaoxi brought the fourth young master into the house. There was still a charcoal brazier burning in his room. The temperature in the room did not drop and was quite warm.
She walked to the charcoal brazier and stretched out her hand. It took her a while to feel the temperature of her palms returning to normal and no longer so cold.
The Fourth Young Master looked at her from the side, totally confused as to why she was blocking the entrance to his yard so late at night.
"Sister, what are you going to do?" Finally, when Gu Chaoxi didn't speak for a long time, the fourth young master couldn't help but ask first.
She glanced sideways, then stood up and sat in the nearest seat, crossing her legs and looking at the man.
After a long while, she finally raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled at him: "It seems that I haven't seen many ghosts tonight."
"Sister, do you believe this too?" he said, leaning against the table nearby.
Gu Chaoxi shook his head: "Tell me, if this ghost comes out tonight, will it go to father's yard or to big brother's yard?"
The fourth young master was stunned, his eyes were wider than before, he looked at her almost in disbelief, a look of panic on his face.
She smiled and raised her hand to signal him to speak.
"Sister, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Don't understand? You really don't understand?" She stared at him without moving her eyes.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he was not busy talking. This intermittent sound can sometimes easily break down a person's psychological defenses.
Gu Chaoxi was waiting, waiting for the fourth young master's psychological defenses to collapse.
After all, his rank was not as good as that of the eldest young master and the fifth young lady. However, after a short while, he was overwhelmed by Gu Chaoxi's aura and didn't know what to do.
He simply lowered his head, clenched his fists and spoke out: "Sister, how did you know?"
"I saw you and that ghost going to Big Brother's yard last night. That ghost should be the fifth sister, right?"
The fourth young master remained silent and stood still.
In fact, just guessing is not enough, but when he saw the jade pendant, Gu Chaoxi knew that no matter how unreliable the speculation was, it was possible.
For example, Miss Five is the one who plays tricks.
Of course, why they, as Ji Ze’s biological children, did this is indeed a question worth thinking about.
So, as night fell, Gu Chaoxi went to Ji Ze's yard again.
He did not go in directly, but watched until all the servants inside had left before climbing over the wall from the side.
His yard was bigger, and even the wall was slightly higher by a small part. But it was this small part that Gu Chaoxi couldn't reach, so Pei Yan and Shen Yao had to carry her up.
The yard was quiet and almost no sound could be heard.
Because he knew that Ji Ze was resting in the room before climbing over the wall, Gu Chaoxi did not go to the large living room opposite the door.
To be honest, I did find some unusual relationships in Ji Ze's yard.
Gu Chaoxi finished reading the stack of things that looked like documents on his desk.
Ji Ze is a man who is sometimes too confident, which is also a manifestation of his recklessness.
There were some things in there that recorded his communication with outsiders, and they were not good things anyway.
To the extent that many people's resentment towards him comes from this. After all, since ancient times, everyone has hated the existence of traitors, no matter what the occasion.
She looked at those things several times and finally confirmed that Ji Ze was indeed hiding something.
"Honestly, if you have such a big grudge against your father, why don't you just leave this house? If you want to, just scare him to death first?"
Should it be considered as scaring him to death? After all, pretending to be a ghost doesn't seem to kill him directly, but rather a bit like torturing him.
The fourth young master leaned on the edge of the table and realized that Gu Chaoxi knew everything.
"He deserves it."
His mind suddenly recalled a time long ago when his sister went to school and his mother and several other concubines were playing cards together.
His father said that he wanted to take him out to see what vastness meant.
So, at such a young age, he followed his father out without any precautions. His father put him on the horse's back and told him to feel the wind.
In fact, he was very happy at that time, if his father had not pushed him to the ground and punched him hard on the ground next to his head.
How old was he? He was so scared that he cried when his father attacked him.
But instead of comforting him, Ji Ze stood up and called him a coward, saying that he was as useless as his mother.
In the end, he was crying so hard that he couldn't stand up. Ji Ze even kicked his knee, it hurt so much.
"You are so useless that you really don't deserve the surname Ji."
Later, when the fourth young master grew up a little, he understood why his father was like that.
Because he never loved them, these children.
