009: Who's to blame?
The incense in Hanshan Temple is not vigorous. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unlike other temples, it does not worship the South China Sea Goddess of Mercy.
There are also people in this temple who believe in Buddhism, but it is deeper in their hearts.
They not only regard Hanshan Temple as a Buddhist temple, but also a place of peace and away from the chaos of red dust.
The mountain road from Gusu to Hanshan Temple is rugged, and the surrounding cliffs are steep.
It's just that if you drive slowly on the way, nothing will happen.
Therefore, when the news of Second Mrs. Gu's fall off the cliff came out, everyone was extremely shocked.
Mother Liu knew that she was out of shape, so she immediately stood firm, and hurriedly walked out of the house with a random excuse.
For some reason, Xiao Ziyu solemnly said to Second Mrs. Gu that day in her mind: It's just that this thing is very ominous and will bring disaster to people, aunt, are you sure you want it?
Xiao Ziyu's sincere tone is still deeply remembered by Liu's mother today.
Everything was said by Xiao Ziyu.
Something happened to Mrs. Gu's second wife, but something really happened.
Why did he fall off a cliff inexplicably, there has never been such a thing before!
Coincidentally, Duan Yu didn't follow Second Mrs. Gu to Hanshan Temple, so she wanted to ask the reason, but she didn't know where to ask.
Although Duan Yu did not follow Second Mrs. Gu to Hanshan Temple, it was obviously impossible to go back to Xiao Mansion to serve by Xiao Ziyu's side. Breaking the rain had to go back to Beijing to go to the Gu family and tell the Gu family about the second wife Gu's fall off the cliff.
Gu family's virtues, Liu's mother has already heard of it, and when the rain is gone, it is like entering a wolf's den.
Mother Liu wanted to ask Xiao Ziyu, but she didn't know how to speak.
That person is very scary, and it seems that she still holds a grudge, and all she wants to do now is to run away.
Mother Liu didn't dare to continue thinking about it, she was drenched in cold sweat, and comforted herself in her heart, she must have thought too much...... Don't think about it.
Inside the house.
Mother Liu's gaffe Chu Qing didn't look at it, her mind was in a mess at this time, and she looked at Xiao Ziyu without saying anything.
After a while, she asked a little uneasily, "Miss, what can I do about this?"
Xiao Ziyu wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief when he heard this, and said softly, "Send someone to send this news to the capital and tell my grandmother!"
Chu Qing was dumbfounded, "But if the old lady knows, this matter will be in trouble!"
No matter how mean and rude Mrs. Gu is, she is always the Gu family, the sister of the Gu family, and the aunt of Xiao Ziyu! The Gu family knows very well that the second Mrs. Gu came to Gusu this time to ask for money from the Gu family. Unfortunately, the Gu family is not in the mansion but in the Hanshan Temple. Second Mrs. Gu made a special trip to Gu to get the silver, of course, she would not return to Beijing empty-handed just because Gu was not in the mansion.
She went to Hanshan Temple to find Gu, but something like this happened on the way.
This matter has nothing to do with the Gu family...... But if the other party is an unreasonable Gu family who likes to mess around, this matter will naturally be tricky.
"What's the trouble?" Xiao Ziyu looked at Chu Qing in confusion.
Chu Qing said helplessly, "The old lady is afraid that she will be angry and blame the wife!"
Although Chu Qing had never met Mrs. Gu, the Gu family was easy to provoke, and when the time came, all kinds of unbearable rumors came out, and it was Xiao Ziyu and the Gu family who suffered.
Especially after Xiao Ziyu fell into the water, not only did the third lady of the Cui family humiliate Xiao Ziyu in public, but people in the capital also began to spread rumors that Xiao Ziyu did not have the character that a lady should have.
What a man cares about most is nothing more than a woman's conduct, etiquette, and reputation......
"Grandmother wasn't angry that time?" Xiao Ziyu smiled, "Mother used to be so filial to grandmother, and when was she not blamed?"
There is always an excuse to find fault.
Rightly or wrongly.
"When this kind of thing happens, it's just a paper wrapper, and it won't last long! It's better to confess than to hide it...... I, with a clear conscience!" Xiao Ziyu continued.
The news of Mrs. Gu's accident came from the inn.
It's too hard to hide.
Moreover, Xiao Ziyu never thought of hiding it.
Chu Qing frowned, not knowing how to refute Xiao Ziyu's words, because what Xiao Ziyu said was the truth. She could only mutter, "How could such a thing happen to the second wife!"
Xiao Ziyu raised his eyebrows and did not answer.
She reminded Second Mrs. Gu, but it was a pity that that person was unwilling to accept her kindness, and she naturally had nothing to do with such a result.
In fact, the border of Dachu has always been unstable, although it has been heavily guarded over the years, there will always be some small **** on the county side. She vaguely felt that this year's drought was more terrible than in previous years, so many people in the county began to move towards Gusu again, but not all the displaced people could find a job to do in peace. Some people are lazy and don't want to work at all.
Then if these people want to live comfortably, they need silver.
If you need silver, the only way not to get tired is to grab it.
They did not dare to mess around inside the city, for fear of alarming the officials, but outside the city they could come secretly......
Second Mrs. Gu has always been flamboyant, and after staying at the inn, she was afraid that people would not know that she had a relationship with the Xiao family, so she advertised everywhere that she wanted to take advantage. It's just that the people in the third room of the Xiao family obviously don't want to take care of her, so in a few days, the people around will think that Mrs. Gu is climbing the Xiao family and talking about dreams.
Mrs. Gu was angry, but she had no place to prove that she was the Gu family, so she was desperate to compromise with Mother Liu.
On that day, Second Mrs. Gu did not take the silver from her hand, but took an extremely dazzling and gorgeous bead flower. After returning to the inn, Second Mrs. Gu couldn't help but boast again, convincing people that she really had dealings with the Xiao family.
The result of being too conspicuous is to be eye-catching.
If Second Mrs. Gu went to Hanshan Temple to be accompanied by the broken rain, those homeless people would not dare to be blatant.
However, Second Mrs. Gu was an extremely stingy and greedy person, and she didn't want the Gu family to know what she was doing in the Xiao family, so she could only go alone.
She and the coachman went on the road, which is equivalent to giving money to people.
In fact, as long as Second Mrs. Gu threw the silver and valuable things on her body to those homeless people, she would not lose her life.
However, how could Second Mrs. Gu, who regarded wealth as her life, obediently hand it over?
As a result of her quick efforts to get the coachman to escape, she fell off a cliff.
Everything, starting from her showing off, has long been a bane.
As the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, but now it is exposed, who can protect the group of thieves and rob them.
Everyone understands the truth. However, some people are blinded by hypocritical flattery and forget the simplest principles of doing things.
Chu Qing frowned.
Xiao Ziyu's mood was not affected by this incident at all, and his eyebrows were still calm.
"The weather is good!" Xiao Ziyu stood up and moved softly, "Let's go see Mo Yan!"
Before Chu Qing could answer, the little maid outside the house hurriedly walked in, "Seventh Miss, the fifth young master is here with Steward Wang." ”
Xiao Ziyu nodded, "It's in the side yard, right?"
What should come will always come, and the ominous premonition has not stopped since she woke up from her confusion.
