Chapter 18 Miscellaneous Tosses
Qiu Yue's death made Gu Mandong unable to leave the Jiang family, and with so many eyes staring around, she couldn't leave like before.
Once her appearance as a man and a woman is seen, the reputation of at least one private lover will not be able to escape, and she will directly put on a green and faint hat for Jiang Tianluo.
Even the old lady who had not been out of Jing'an Hall for a long time was alarmed by the turmoil in the house, so she walked out, and with an order, she asked her rough envoy to drag her to the Anping Courtyard next to Jing'an Hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Gu Mandong was kicked on his knees and fell to the ground, kneeling in front of the old lady sitting in the main hall in front of him.
"The granddaughter-in-law said hello to her grandmother. Gu Mandong gritted his teeth and exhaled in pain, and kowtowed to the old man.
The old lady is seventy-two years old this year, but she still looks quite young, and she is only an old man in her early sixties, and her hair is not all white, mixed with a lot of black hair.
The whole person is very popular, and his face looks peaceful and quiet because of the many years of worshipping the Buddha.
Since Gu Mandong married into the Jiang family, he had only met the old lady once, and it was the morning of the second day when Jiang Tianluo said goodbye on the wedding night.
As the new daughter-in-law, Gu Mandong went to Jing'an Hall to meet the old lady of the Jiang family.
"I'm old, and I don't want to do much, but what I've heard over the past few days, everything that is insulting is related to you. Although you are a marriage allowed by the master, even when you die, you will have a place to live somewhere, and let Luo'er raise you for the rest of your life. But that doesn't mean you can rely on this and act recklessly. ”
"Grandmother's lesson is that the granddaughter-in-law will remember it in her heart, and she will be cautious in her words and deeds, and she will not lose face in the Jiang family. ”
"I can remember your words today. If there is a next time, for the sake of the reputation of the Jiang family, I will definitely let the Jiang family change the hostess. Even if Luo'er doesn't want to, there is no need to discuss, you can do it yourself. ”
"Yes, Grandmother. ”
"I'll cover up the girl's affairs for you a little bit......
"Grandmother, can you let your daughter-in-law deal with the matter of Qiuyue by herself, after all, she is the maid brought by her daughter-in-law, although people die like lights going out, but they can't let the sewage be poured on the granddaughter-in-law because a maid has polluted the sound of the Jiang family. This truth needs to be investigated, but the reputation of the Jiang family needs to be the first priority, and the granddaughter-in-law hopes that her grandmother can give her a chance. ”
The old lady's eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned the string of Vajra Bodhi prayer beads in her hand, which had already been shiny.
"I just need a result for this, and I hope you don't mess up. ”
"Thank you, grandmother. ”
Gu Mandong breathed a sigh of relief, watched the old lady leave, and returned to her Jing'an Hall, and suddenly his body was slightly weak, and he sat on the ground.
When I was just escorted in, I thought I was going to be tortured, but I didn't expect that I would just ask a few words and say a warning, and then it would be fine.
Although the old lady has passed the test here, what about Jiang Tianluo's side?
As soon as Gu Mandong came out of the gate of Anping Courtyard, Yuhuan hurriedly greeted him, with an anxious look on his face.
"Yuhuan, what's wrong?" Gu Mandong walked over and took Yuhuan some distance away from Anping Courtyard before asking.
"Miss, no. My uncle is now waiting to see you in Qingping Garden. ”
"See me?" Gu Mandong was stunned, too surprised.
Qiu Yue has been dead for three days, and she hasn't seen Jiang Tianluo come over, and she can't go out to continue pretending to be her Gu Jiu Gongzi, just because she is afraid that Jiang Tianluo will suddenly come back to her and cause another incident.
I thought that he didn't care about this matter at all, and he wouldn't believe one side of the word because of the increasingly violent message, and confront her, but he didn't expect that it was only three days of work, and he still came.
"Did he ask anything?" asked Kumandon as he walked.
"No, I just asked about Miss's physical condition and where she went. The slave didn't dare to say that the young lady was escorted away by the old lady's people, but said that the old lady asked the young lady to go over and talk about something, so she found an excuse to come and pick you up. ”
Yuhuan doesn't seem to be able to say why, and now he can only see step by step.
I don't know what the result of this first official meeting between the two will be.
Standing at the gate of Qingping Garden, Gu Mandong was a little nervous, and after hesitating for a moment, he entered the courtyard and walked towards the hall.
As soon as he entered the door, there was no expected figure of Jiang Tianluo, and the entire hall was empty, and there was no one.
didn't see Jiang Tianluo's figure, which made Gu Mandong breathe a sigh of relief, but he also had an indescribable loss, and his mood was quite complicated.
"Miss, it seems that my uncle is gone. ”
"Hmm. ”
Gu Mandong answered and asked, "Yuhuan, did you pack all the things in Qiuyue before?"
"Yes, miss. It was put away and placed in the slave's room. ”
"Then bring me something. ”
"Yes, miss. ”
Yuhuan quickly sent Qiu Yue's bequeath, most of them her clothes and cheap jewelry, but other than that, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Is there really no clue at all?
Gu Mandong was very unwilling.
"Hey, miss, why is there something in Qiuyue's clothes. Yuhuan suddenly exclaimed, took the scissors and opened the thread, and actually found a valuable pearl from it.
It is the size of a marble, and the surface is also carved with a circle of peach blossom patterns, which makes people shine and looks like a valuable thing.
This thing is not enough to have at all with the identity of Qiu Yue, and even the identity of Gu Mandong, the wife of the Jiang family, has rarely been seen, let alone a pearl with such a large pattern carved on it.
Gu Mandong touched the bead, maybe this bead could find the man behind her who wanted to drive her to a dead end.
After collecting the beads, Gu Mandong had to suppress the movement in the house for what he promised the old lady today, and the best way was to cover up the current gossip with another sensational thing.
Kumandon changed his clothes and went out again.
Before he arrived at the county office, he met Mo Jinyan who came in a hurry.
"Gu Jiu, where have you been these past few days, do you know how hard I have worked to find you. ”
was suddenly dragged, and Gu Mandong was frightened by Mo Jinyan.
"It's you. I thought it was, it was scary. But seriously. Just because I promised to help doesn't mean I'm always on call, and you know, I wouldn't have been on this troubled water if it weren't for you. Forget it, it's a waste of time to talk nonsense with you. Tell me, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
"What else can it be for, naturally for the case of the red coat. After you found the clues that day, the yamen side also immediately began to thoroughly investigate whether there were murders in the nearby villages, towns and counties, not to mention, just the day before yesterday, a corpse was really found, and the clothes on the body were the women found that day. Just ......"
