Chapter 248: Return the Books

Gu Zhirong finally returned to Liuyun Courtyard, but he was glad to spoil the girls in the courtyard.

Mingyue has been completely well after a period of recuperation. Because she was lightly injured, saved in time, and had strong vitality, she recovered very well, and did not leave the slightest sequelae.

Of course, Lushui Mujin still didn't let her do some heavy work such as moving, lifting, etc., and didn't even let her take the burden, and let her rest to the side. Mingyue stomped her feet with a smile: "What do you think of me, how can my body be so delicate?"

Gu Zhirong was really tired, after bathing and freshening up, the whole person was drowsy, and was about to rest, when Du's mother's voice came from outside, saying that the old lady asked her to go over and talk.

Mingyue and the others couldn't help but be a little worried when they saw her expression. Gu Zhirong said: "It's okay, I'll go back as soon as I go, it's not too early now, maybe I can't speak for half an hour, and the old lady should rest." ”

Lu Shui smiled: "The old lady must not be able to sleep tonight." ”

Everyone laughed. What happened at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet in the palace, Cuihuan has spread to all corners of the mansion for the first time, everyone knows that on the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Miss Gu Er was attacked, and her own mistakes made the Yuanning Marquis Mansion almost discredited. At this time, Miss Gu Wu suddenly appeared, turned things around, won the favor of the queen mother and the emperor, and saved the lost face of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion. The whole house is speculating that in the future, the old lady is afraid that she will love Miss Fifth even more.

No, it's so late, the old lady's sisters in the other rooms don't summon any of them, but they just call their own young lady, isn't that the first step of grace?

Winters in the capital are also extremely cold. As soon as he walked out of the house and left the brazier, Gu Zhirong felt a chill hit him. I couldn't help but shudder. Mingyue hurriedly chased after her, put a rose gold sable cloak inlaid with red sable on her body, and then carefully helped her hand, went out of the courtyard gate, and walked towards the old lady's courtyard.

Du's mother obviously got the old lady's order, and personally carried the lantern and waited at the gate of the courtyard. As soon as he saw Gu Zhirong coming, he took three steps and walked in front of her in two steps. Under the light of the lantern, the old man of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion smiled and was full of piety. He bowed down and said, "Fifth Miss, you are here, come in, the old lady is waiting for you." ”

Gu Zhirong nodded. Mingyue, who was standing on his side, felt that he had never enjoyed such an honor. asked Du's mother to greet her at the door in person, and she only felt a sense of pride rising from the bottom of her heart and straightened her waist straighter.

Gu Zhirong followed Du's mother into the warm pavilion, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the old lady sitting on the kang, Gu Zhirong was just about to come forward to salute, but the old lady actually came down from the kang herself, grabbed her hand, and held it tightly. Pull her to sit on the kang.

Gu Zhirong didn't shirk either, and obediently let the old lady pull it. After going up to the kang, I sat down next to the old lady.

The old lady held her hand tightly, she could feel the warmth of the old lady's hand, and there was a faint trace of family affection in her heart. In fact, Gu Zhirong knows better that if it weren't for his performance at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, which made the old lady's face regained, how could the old lady, who has always been good at using the sisters in the house as pawns, really regard herself as her own granddaughter?

No matter what, her worth is affirmed, and next, those who framed her should be unlucky, and see how she verifies the retribution on them step by step!

Moreover, she was sure that the old lady summoned her late at night, and there must be something of great benefit to her to announce.

Sure enough, after the old lady looked at her for a while, she suddenly burst into tears.

She couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly called softly: "Old lady......"

The old lady took out the handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said: "Now you look exactly like your mother back then. ”

Gu Zhirong brought the old lady a cup of hot tea and said softly: "I remember that when my mother was here, she always remembered the good of the old lady, and taught me that I must serve the old lady well. ”

"You're a good boy. The old lady said, "Your mother taught me well." Thinking of the current situation in the house, the old lady couldn't help but sigh, "If your mother were alive, this family would never be what it is now." ”

Gu Zhirong heard the disgust for the eldest lady in the old lady's words, she lowered her head and said softly: "If my mother knows underground and knows that the old lady remembers her so much, she must be very gratified." ”

The old lady looked at Gu Zhirong for a while, and then said, "Good boy, this time, thanks to you rushing back in time, you saved the Yuanning Marquis Mansion from danger." Your mother taught you so well, I can't be sorry for this old woman, but she used to store some things with me, and now they are all returned to their original owners. ”

Speaking of this, the old lady glanced at Mama Du beside her. Du's mother understood, turned around and went out, and after a while, she walked in with a thick account book.

The old lady didn't ask Du's mother to present the account book, and Du's mother stood aside quietly with her hands in her hands.

The old lady sighed, glanced at the account book, and said to Gu Zhirong: "Sister Rong, this account book was entrusted to me, the old woman, by your mother before leaving. I, an old woman, have kept it for nearly ten years, and I am thinking that when you are older, I will give you these relics of your mother. Now that you have really grown up and have taken responsibility, I am also relieved, and I am worthy of your mother if I hand it over to you at this time. ”

Gu Zhirong raised his head in surprise and looked at the old lady. Although she knew that the old lady must have made a move tonight, what she didn't expect was that such a big move was really quite unexpected for her.

Mother Du smiled and handed the account book to Gu Zhirong, and said, "Over the years, the old lady has been thinking about when the fifth lady will be able to grow up, so that she can hand over this account book, even if it is to complete the third lady's entrustment." Just yesterday, the old lady mentioned this account book to the old slave. ”

Gu Zhirong solemnly took it. Although she knew that there must have been a lot of borrowing or misappropriation under various pretexts, but after all, under the control of the old lady, they didn't dare to come nonsense, and most of the land should still be there.

In fact, Gu Zhirong didn't care much about the land property that his mother left behind on the surface. With his mother's cleverness, if she really trusted the old lady, she would never give these visible things to the old lady for safekeeping. In her opinion, Jiangnan Caoyun is the real tool for making money, and the old lady doesn't know about this at all.

But this is something left over from the Su clan after all, and if you don't get it back, you can't be sorry for the original owner of this body. So, Gu Zhirong handed over the account book to Mingyue to hold, and he got off the kang and solemnly kowtowed to the old lady to thank him.

If it were in the past, the old lady would definitely not be willing to give up such a rich property. But after what happened recently, the old lady finally understood that the battle between the big house and the second room was far beyond her control, no matter how she calmed the two sides, with the ruthlessness of the big house, it was still impossible to let go of the second room. That being the case, she might as well throw this hot taro out, as for whether the three-room Rong sister in front of her can withstand it, it depends on her own creation. (To be continued......)
