Chapter 623 I was born free
When we left Shen Yao, it was actually not very early, almost time for dinner.
Gu Chaoxi went directly to the fifth young lady's yard for the green jade pendant.
The servants in the yard didn't know why she came again, but they still went into the house to tell the fifth young lady.
"Miss, the second lady is here to see you."
"Second sister?" She came out of the house, obviously a little shocked, and didn't understand why she came here again at this time.
Gu Chaoxi just smiled and looked at her for a while: "Sister, won't you let me in? It's getting late today."
The temperature gradually dropped, and there was a bit of wind, which was really not very comfortable.
The Fifth Miss was stunned for only a moment before she reacted. She immediately took Gu Chaoxi and walked into the house: "Second sister, come in."
"Actually, I didn't come to you for anything else. I just got something new, and I thought Fifth Sister might have some insights."
"Oh? What did the second sister get?"
She sat down on the couch, not taking Gu Chaoxi's words to heart.
When we came in the afternoon, we had already tried it out. Even though both sides had tried to test each other, there was no result.
Perhaps she felt that it was almost time for dinner, and before Gu Chaoxi could say anything, Fifth Miss continued, "Second sister, why don't you have dinner with me?"
She followed the other person's words and sat down on the chair. She took the jade out of her pocket calmly and looked at it in her hand: "This jade is of good quality. I don't see it often."
"Fifth sister, are you throwing away such valuable things?"
She raised her hand and shook it, and Miss Five's eyes instantly focused on her, staring intently at the object in her hand.
"Where did sister get it?"
"How about you guess?" She lowered her eyes, playing with it in her hand with some boredom, and seemed not to be in a hurry.
The Fifth Miss's originally straight back slowly collapsed again. After a long time, her eyes turned slowly.
"What does Second Sister want?"
It seems that she knows where she found this thing.
Now that things are so clear, Gu Chaoxi just wants to ask some more concerned questions.
"Fifth sister is not feeling well, is she pretending?"
"Yes." She nodded.
Even though his health was not very good when he was a child, he has recovered after some treatment, but he has never revealed it to anyone.
The reason why she looked frail and sickly was just to prevent Ji Ze from looking for her.
Ji Ze seemed to love her little daughter very much, but she knew in her heart that this love was not from the heart at all, or rather, it was actually a kind of guilt.
Since he feels guilty towards her, that's good. She wants Ji Ze's guilt towards her to continue like this.
"Are you and Big Brother really just siblings?"
"Really, but big brother feels guilty towards me." The fifth lady nodded.
When the eldest master was young, he accidentally let her fall into the pond while taking care of her, and she almost drowned.
Although it was not a serious problem later, the young master always felt that it was his fault.
Even his father often reminded him that the fifth young lady was in poor health and was the youngest sister, so he must take extra care of her.
"You disguised yourself as a ghost and took those concubines' things. Was it your idea or your elder brother's?"
"Or, were you guys in cahoots and planning to escape together?"
This time, Miss Five did not answer this series of questions, but just smiled and shook her head.
Perhaps she had never thought about answering Gu Chaoxi's question, but just slowly raised her eyes to look at her.
"No matter what Second Sister wants, you should find the answer yourself."
"There were some things I couldn't say at the time."
Gu Chaoxi took two glances and knew that she was not joking and was telling the truth.
But the truth is hard to understand.
When he stood up, Gu Chaoxi shook the jade pendant in his hand and threw it to the fifth young lady.
The pendant drew a trace in the air and landed precisely in the arms of the Fifth Miss. It fell on her legs, sticking to her body, and she held it down.
"Second sister?"
She had already walked many steps away, but was stopped by someone behind her in a low voice.
Gu Chaoxi didn't look back, but just stopped and wanted to know what that person wanted to say.
The fifth young lady looked at her back, pursed her lips, and spoke after a while.
"What would you do if one day you found out that you have been living under a huge net?"
She sighed and walked forward.
"I was born free." This was Gu Chaoxi's answer.
Those who try to trap me will surely break out as long as I find a loophole.
Fifth Miss should have also heard the answer from her words.
And Gu Chaoxi also knew that this question was the answer of the Fifth Miss.
She walked out of the Fifth Miss's yard and when she turned the corner, she saw Pei Yan leaning against the wall waiting for her.
He actually came here with her early in the morning, but he didn't stay with her. He was just waiting in the corridor outside the corner.
Even if he meets other people, he will have an excuse.
"How is it?" he asked Gu Chaoxi.
She thought for a moment and nodded: "I returned the jade pendant to her. Perhaps there is something between them that others don't know about."
"I'm talking about this house." Remembering that what she just said was not so accurate, she added.
Pei Yan lowered his eyes after hearing this. Yes, this house.
The General's Mansion was really not what they had imagined. On the contrary, it was like a man-eating mouth.
The fangs in this big mouth are enough to injure and kill people.
Gu Chaoxi walked forward step by step, the soles of his shoes making a very slight sound as they rubbed against the ground.
The two were almost side by side, but she was half a step ahead.
"Maybe Ji Ze actually knows it, but he is just condoning it." Many things are being condoned.
For example, he knew that there was a ghost in the house, but that person didn't look for him, so he chose to pretend not to know.
He wanted to drive the other people away from each other. This family had already become as rotten as the outside.
"The other person must be the Fourth Young Master, right?" His figure last night really looked like the useless Fourth Young Master mentioned by the Second Concubine.
When he was a child, he followed the second young lady and acted naughty. He never thought that one day when he grew up, he would have to hide things from even his own sister.
What kind of thing made him so unwilling to tell others?
When he went to see Gu Chaoxi at noon, he wanted to talk to her, but he didn't come again.
They finally mustered up the courage to take a step forward, but ended up backing down because they had missed the time.
It just so happened that she was taking a lunch break and didn't want to see anyone.
Perhaps he would never tell it again. That secret would be completely buried in his heart along with the fall of this general's mansion.
