Chapter 261: Mention
Gu Zhirong's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw that the thing was a white and transparent mutton fat jade pendant, strung together with a golden yellow thread, and it seemed to be hanging at the end of the piano.
Gu Zhirong suddenly had a feeling that she felt that the second miss didn't seem to be looking for the qin, but looking for this thing.
If her speculation is true, this mutton fat jade pendant must have been given by a very important person from the second lady. In the past, she would definitely think that it was the crown prince, but now that she knows the secret of the second miss, what she can be sure of is that the person who sent the jade must be that person.
Things seem to be getting complicated.
Gu Zhirong had a feeling that the waves were unsettled, and the waves were rising again and again. At this time, the second lady on the side held the jade pendant tightly for a moment, and then realized that Gu Zhirong was still standing next to her, so she was a little embarrassed and said: "This jade pendant was bought by the eldest brother at the market at the beginning of last month. I forgot to take it off when I didn't want to take it for maintenance. Fortunately, it didn't burn out, otherwise the pride is really sorry for the eldest brother's heart. ”
Gu Zhirong thought to herself, when did the relationship between the second young lady and the eldest prince become so good?
Although the second lady and the eldest son are compatriots of the same mother, but the second miss is very high, and she looks down on the eldest son who can't read at all, and is very dissatisfied with the style of the eldest son, who is idle and sits on the mountain, and the relationship between brother and sister has not been very good, and the eldest son wants to be better with himself.
Besides, what the second lady just said was that the eldest prince gave her a jade pendant last month, which can't stand scrutiny at all.
Early last month. If she remembers correctly, the eldest prince should be in Jiangzhou, with her. At her distant uncle's house. Then then Mr. Lu had an accident and injured his arm, and after the injury was healed, it was the middle of the year, and then she entrusted Mr. Lu to his eldest brother and asked him to escort Mr. Lu back. It will take at least ten days and half a month, and the second lady said that she had seen her eldest brother at the beginning of the month, isn't that a lie?
Gu Zhirong understood in his heart. But he didn't say anything, nodded lightly and said: "It seems that the second sister cherishes this jade pendant given by the eldest brother very much, and when it disappears, she is so nervous that she can't even eat, if the eldest brother knows that you cherish the things he sent so much." You'll be jumping for joy. ”
The second lady was stunned for a moment. It seems that he didn't expect Gu Zhirong to say this. After thinking about it, I was afraid that it was her actions that aroused her suspicions, so she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and hurriedly covered it up: "Yes, you know that my eldest brother has always rarely sent things to me, and now I am gradually realizing the importance of brother and sister affection, so I cherish the things given by my eldest brother and decided to collect them well." ”
Cuihuan was also busy: "Yes." In fact, the eldest prince has always been very good to our young lady, although he gave less things. But that's all about it. ”
Gu Zhirong nodded, pretending to be clear: "Yes, I have always felt that my eldest brother is a good person, straightforward and good to people, and there will definitely be good rewards." ”
The second lady saw that the smile on Gu Zhirong's face was innocent and natural, and she thought that her eldest brother had always been good friends with this sister in the third room, and it was normal for Gu Zhirong to praise him like this. So he changed his mind and slowly diverted the topic from the jade pendant to the eldest brother.
The eldest brother walked quietly for more than a month, and finally returned to the capital, but he didn't know where to go, and now his mother is sick, and he doesn't come back to take a look. The second lady said, her eyes melancholy.
Gu Zhirong was slightly surprised: "Hasn't the eldest brother returned home these days?"
The second lady nodded: "Yes, now our big house is a mess, my father doesn't come back, and my eldest brother doesn't come back. ”
Gu Zhirong thought to herself, the eldest lady is like this, she can only say that she has done all the bad things and got the retribution she deserves.
However, if you want to investigate the whereabouts of the eldest brother, as long as you find out where the little phoenix lives, you can naturally find the eldest brother. She just felt strange that a person as big as the eldest brother spent money like water on weekdays, and often reached out to the eldest lady to ask for money. But in the past six months, I don't seem to have heard any news about the eldest prince asking for money, could it be that the eldest prince has changed his temperament? However, even if he has changed his temperament, this life must continue, how can he live this life without money?
As for the eldest master, she is now stepping up her secret investigation, and when she has news, she will tell the second lady. After all, his wife had a miscarriage, no matter what, the eldest man should always come back to take a look.
At this time, the second lady thought of the piano that was dug up beyond recognition, and it seemed that the joy of finding the jade pendant diluted the sadness of the destroyed piano, and the second lady did not see too much sadness on her face, but just lightly ordered the team to close, and then asked people to send the piano to the shopkeeper to verify.
Seeing that the second miss was going to return home, Gu Zhirong decided to put aside the matter of the jade pendant first, and then find an opportunity to probe the second lady's tone to see what she thought in her heart. At the moment, there are more important things to do.
"Second sister. Gu Zhirong called the second lady who was about to get into the car, "Do you think it's very strange that your strings will be broken at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?" I heard that even if the piano is brought by the guest for maintenance, it must be passed by the hands of three people, and it must be appraised to ensure that it is well maintained before it is returned to the guest. And it is impossible to say that your piano will make such a mistake under such a rigorous step-by-step screening. ”
The second lady was very smart, and immediately understood the meaning of Gu Zhirong's words, and wondered: "Are you saying that my piano has been tampered with?"
She has always been upright, and she can't rub a grain of sand in her eyes, and her anger is on her face: "Who is it that dares to move my strings?
The second lady looked at Gu Zhirong, and Gu Zhirong was also looking at her. She thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered someone, and lost her voice: "Could it be her?"
The anger on her face was even stronger, and the second lady walked towards the carriage angrily, looking like she was looking for someone to settle the account.
Gu Zhirong hurriedly grabbed her: "Second sister, where are you going?"
The second young lady turned around and said coldly: "Xiao Wu, are you going to stop me? Do you want to help her? If that's the case, then you and I cut off our robes and break off righteousness, and you are no longer my good sister!"
Gu Zhirong couldn't cry or laugh a little, what did the sisters say about cutting their robes and breaking their righteousness?
"Second sister, of course I'm on your side, otherwise, I won't tell you all the doubts in my heart. Gu Zhirong said softly, "But, is it really good for you to be so reckless in settling accounts? You have to talk about evidence in everything, do you have evidence? When the time comes, don't get it back, but you are bitten back, and the defendant goes to the old lady, which is not very good." ”
The second young lady was stunned by anger for a while, but now that she has calmed down, she feels that her behavior is very inappropriate. Thinking that person is an extremely treacherous person, she will never admit it without evidence. If she misses the blow, she will take the lead and sue the old lady, who will not be able to see the blatant battles in these mansions, and may be the unlucky one.
"Then what do you say, isn't it cheaper?" said the second lady in a rough voice. (To be continued......)
