Chapter 21 A glimpse of Xiaoxiao's new sword

The maids and their subordinates are all broken mouths, and they always like to get together and chew on the trivial things of the masters of the house in a short whisper when they have nothing to do on weekdays. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

No, the next day, some rumors spread in the house.

Some people say that Gu Wanyan has offended someone and is targeted by others to frame her; some people say that Xu Dong and Gu Wanyan are actually tired; and even some people say that the second son does not love the second wife, and others see that the second wife is single all day before attacking her......

The old lady learned about Gu Wanyan from Xu Dong last night, and they were all surprised. The old man was even more furious because someone dared to do evil in the Gu Mansion, and he ordered a thorough investigation of last night's incident.

But Gu Wanyan was almost raped, which was a disgraceful thing after all. After thinking about it, the lord decided not to report it to the government, but to solve it by himself, and strictly forbade anyone in the government to talk about this matter.

Still, some of the gossip reached her ears. But what Gu Wanyan cares about most at the moment and wants to know most is, who attacked her yesterday?

She was blindfolded the whole time, and the man didn't say a word, and there was not a single clue to trace the investigation into the matter.

When Gu Wanyan personally greeted the old lady after resting in the room for two days, she was not only slightly pale, but also mentally recovered quickly.

As usual, she stepped into the room and smiled gently: "Father, mother, Wanyan is fine." ”

As soon as Madame saw Gu Wanyan, her eyes were immediately filled with tears, she helped Gu Wanyan's shoulders with a worried face, and then hugged her slimmed body by two points, and said indignantly: "Wanyan, I really wronged you...... Our Gu Mansion will definitely not let such people go unpunished, and this matter will definitely be investigated to the end!"

Gu Wanyan has been relieved for a few days, and the mental fright has also eased, and she specially came to greet the two elders today, just because she didn't want them to worry too much about their condition. When she saw her lady like this, she smiled gently with a pale face: "Mother, I know you feel sorry for Wanyan, Wanyan is really fine." ”

Madame still looked distressed, she gently stroked Gu Wanyan's hair, pursed her lips and nodded: "Daddy will call the shots for you." ”

The silent old man on the side wrinkled his brows, and suddenly opened his mouth: "This matter must be investigated." ”

Gu Wanyan stopped talking and nodded condensedly.

=======================

The lord ordered everyone to recall whether they had seen any suspicious people in the house that night, and start from this starting point.

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall, and this seemingly tricky thing is finally taking shape.

One was the doorman who entered and exited the registration side, and found that two outsiders had entered the house that night, and the other was that someone saw a man wearing a hat appear in the courtyard of Gu Mo's room.

One of the people who came to visit Gu's house that night was Cheng Yong, the guardian of the hospital, who led a firewood delivery man to the kitchen to collect firewood and add firewood, and the other was Xu Dong, the master of Yunjitang who came to give the old man acupuncture that night.

The latter is obviously impossible, then the former is the first suspect.

The old man recruited the hospital to protect Cheng Yong.

In the front hall, the old lady sat side by side, Gu Wanyan also sat next to him, and Cheng Yong stood facing them. There was not a trace of undulation on his face, and he looked calm.

The old man squinted his eyes slightly and looked at him for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and asked, "It's always been Steward Fang who is responsible for leading the firewood to the kitchen to add firewood, why did you become that day?"

Cheng Yong replied: "Back to the old lady, the housekeeper happened to have continuous abdominal pain at night that day, and he was in the toilet when the chaifu came, so he asked the little one to take the chaifu to the kitchen." ”

The old man then asked, "Do you know who that chaifu is?"

Cheng Yong paused, glanced at his wife as if he didn't know anything, and said, "The little one doesn't know, but the little one heard from Steward Fang that every time he came to add firewood, the chaifu was the same person." ”

"But you led Chafu to the kitchen?"

Cheng Yong nodded: "Yes." ”

"And then, can you take him out of the house yourself?" asked the master.

Cheng Yong showed a very deliberate look of horror on his face at this time, as if he suddenly realized something, he immediately knelt down and hung his head: "The little one should be damned! After the little one sent Chai Fu to the kitchen, he left!"

"Do you remember if the man was wearing a hat?" Cheng Yong thought for a moment and nodded.

It seems that everything is in order, and now the spearhead is directed at that chaifu.

The old man looked displeased, slapped the table and scolded angrily: "If something goes wrong that day, can you afford the consequences?"

Cheng Yong still bowed his head and said guiltily: "The little one is willing to bear all the punishments!"

The old man glanced at him and snorted coldly.

Gu Wanyan has been silently watching the conversation between the old man and the courtyard protector Chengyong, and the picture of that night unconsciously floats in her head from time to time, and the feeling is simply suffocating. She pursed her lips and didn't say a word, but subconsciously sensed that something was faintly wrong.

At this time, Steward Fang came in from the front hall, approached the old lady and whispered: "That chaifu suddenly disappeared, I sent someone to look for it in the entire Dongcheng, but I didn't find it!"

Steward Fang looked dazed and anxious. As soon as these words came out, the old man couldn't help but wrinkle his brows heavily, and he didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something.

Before the old man could speak, Mrs. suddenly slapped the table, a pair of noble eyes exuded an aggressive aura, and she said angrily to Cheng Yong: "It seems that it must be that person who knows that he has done something unruly in my Gu Mansion and escaped! Cheng Yong! What crime should you be guilty of!"

Cheng Yong, who had been kneeling, said silently: "It's all because of the small one, the second wife is frightened, and the little one is willing to accept the punishment." ”

"Someone!" the lady listened, and waved her hand, "Deduct Chengyong's monthly money for one year, and then pull him down to the front yard and scold him with a cane of three hundred!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several family members carried thick wooden sticks to drag Cheng Yong out.

The old man frowned, stunned for a moment, and then wanted to wait. But he thought about the ins and outs of the matter, and seemed that everything was reasonable, and all the signs indicated that the lawless man was the chaifu, so he did not speak.

However, Gu Wanyan felt that something was strange and tried to persuade: "Mother, do you want to investigate the matter clearly before making a decision?"

Madame's eyes were sharp, and she said hatefully: "How can you be wronged? It was the negligence of this slave that caused the incident that night, and it must be punished severely!"

Gu Wanyan looked outside the courtyard, and Cheng Yong was lying on a bench being punished. Seeing that blow to his back and buttocks, Cheng Yong's face only had a forbearance expression of gritting his teeth.

She couldn't help but show a shallow doubt between her eyebrows. Gu Wanyan felt too strange. Cheng Yong's composure is a bit unreasonable, and it seems to be deliberately made. Until he was dragged away from the cane, he didn't have too much emotion. Can a small hospital nurse have such a strong psychological quality?

But Cheng Yong was punished heavily, and Steward Fang was also deducted half a year's monthly money, and this matter seemed to be dealt with on the surface.

The entire Gu government has also strengthened the recording and management of outsiders to prevent such things from happening again.

The person concerned, Gu Wanyan, had a trace of unwillingness in her heart, and after thinking about it repeatedly, she still felt that things were not so simple.

She told herself that someone might have the intention of harming her now, so she had to be cautious for her own safety, and she had to be more mindful in front of others.

============================

In a few days, it will be the New Year.

Gu Wanyan returned to busyness, and the entire Gu Mansion was also immersed in the hope and joy of the New Year. From the old lady to the next person, everyone is looking forward to a stable and stable year ahead.

In the past year, the country of Loulan has prospered and peaceful, and even in the face of severe drought in autumn, the people of the whole country have worked together to help the disaster. In short, the past year made King Loulan really satisfied and gratified, so he deliberately changed the name of the year to "Jikang", hoping to make persistent efforts to create another glorious era in the next few years.

Following the first day of the Lunar New Year in the first year of Kang, Gu Mo's letter was delivered.

In the letter, Gu Mo briefly described that the things at hand were basically going well, and at the same time sent New Year's wishes to the old lady.

The old man specially gave Gu Mo's letter to Gu Wanyan and asked her to read it personally. Gu Wanyan looked at it in her hand for a long time and didn't see a word of information about herself between the lines, and remembered the night when Gu Mo left, she was slightly disappointed in her heart.

She also thought that the united front friendship she had established with Gu Mo would make him remember herself a little, right?

But she didn't know—

Gu Mo held his forehead and sat at the table for a night, drafting one letter after another, changing it over and over again, but he still didn't know how to ask her a good word in the letter. So in the end, he still wrote a simple sentence and sent it back.

===========================

Recently, all the attention of the house has been on Gu Wanyan, and Liu Fengxian happened to be in poor health recently, and she was sick all the time, so she was a little unhappy about it. She felt that she was Mrs. Dafang, and she should have a higher status than Gu Wanyan. Although Gu Wanyan did have an accident, Liu Fengxian was still unhappy when she was ignored.

On this day, Xu Dong came to the house to give the old man the last acupuncture, but before leaving, he was stopped by a maid, saying that he was invited to treat the eldest lady.

Xu Dong has also been to the Gu Mansion a few times recently, but because of the last incident, he knew that he wanted to avoid suspicion, so he never saw Gu Wanyan, but only heard some news about her condition from the side. Knowing that she has slowly improved recently, I was slightly relieved.

When Xu Dong heard that he was going to see Liu Fengxian for a diagnosis, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with the eldest wife?"

The maid replied: "The eldest lady has been dizzy and weak lately, and she vomits whatever she eats!"

Xu Dong thought for a while and asked, "Is the eldest lady normal in her menstrual period lately?"

The maid's face turned red, and she replied, "This...... The little one didn't know, and he bothered the master of Xu Dong Hall to take a look for the eldest lady. ”

Xu Dong smiled casually and readily agreed.

Liu Fengxian was lying on the bed, looking dazed, and she could see that she had no energy.

Seeing Xu Dong coming, she subconsciously wanted to scratch her head, so she sat up softly with the support of the maid, smiled coquettishly, looked at Xu Dong with blinking eyes, and said in a glutinous and delicate voice: "It's really troublesome for the master of Xu Dong Hall to run." ”

Xu Dong didn't look at her directly, and there was no expression on his face, so he went straight to the point: "Where is the eldest lady uncomfortable?"

Liu Fengxian was stunned when she saw that her enthusiasm was beaten back, and then she covered her chest, frowning slightly: "I don't know how recently I have no strength, I am dizzy, and I often vomit." ”

Xu Dong asked, "Is the eldest lady's Kwai Shui coming this month?"

Liu Fengxian thought about it and said, "It seems that this month is eight days late. ”

Xu Dong took two steps and sat on the side of her bed, and said, "I'll check the pulse." ”

Liu Fengxian moved to the edge of the bed and stretched out an arm very cooperatively.

Xu Dong gently put his index and middle fingers on her wrists and carefully checked her pulse.

Then Xu Dong withdrew his hand, stood up, and smiled politely at Liu Fengxian: "Congratulations to the eldest wife, the eldest lady is happy." ”

Liu Fengxian didn't react when she heard it, she was stunned for a long time, but she smiled like a flower for a moment. She hurriedly said to the maid on the side: "What are you doing in a daze! Go and tell the old lady!"

The maid nodded suddenly, then turned around and trotted up, hurried to the East Garden to tell the old lady the good news.

Xu Dong picked up the medicine box and said to Liu Fengxian: "The eldest lady should pay attention to maintaining enough sleep, if she vomits badly, take some lemonade and hawthorn tablets, and be in a good mood." ”

Liu Fengxian smiled brightly: "Thank you so much to Hall Master Xudong!"

Xu Dong nodded politely: "The eldest lady is polite." Leave. ”

With that, he walked away.
