Chapter 169: Follow-up (1)
Mrs. Tai was both angry and sad, she couldn't react for a while, and looked at Gu Guanning in a daze: "It's just that you let people stare at Shen Qian and the Shen family." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhy are you staring at the Qi Palace's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion?"
Gu Guanning said in a low voice: "I will slowly explain these to my grandmother later." Now, the most important thing for my grandmother is to take care of herself, and she must not fall down. ”
"Grandmother was strong by nature. When my grandfather died, my grandmother supported the Dingbei Hou Mansion alone. Later, my father died, and my grandmother only cried for one night. This time, my grandmother will definitely be able to survive it. ”
Mrs. Tai smiled miserably, her voice was weak and weak: "Sister Ning, my grandmother is old and tired, and she can't hold on." ”
In just one night, Mrs. Tai had a lot of silver threads on her head, and the wrinkles on her forehead and eyes showed exhaustion and old age. There is no longer the resolute look in his eyes, only endless sadness remains.
Gu Wanning's nose was sour, and tears came out of his eyes.
In her previous life, her grandmother couldn't afford to fall ill after she married into the prince's mansion. Later, Shen manipulated his grandmother's decoction, and his grandmother soon "died".
Until the moment of death, the grandmother didn't know that her favorite grandson was not the Gu family's bloodline at all.
In this life, because of her, Gu Jinyan's life experience was revealed early.
My grandmother's sadness was even greater than in her previous life.
Mrs. Tai raised her arm and wiped her tears for Gu Wanning tremblingly: "Sister Ning, don't cry. Grandmother will do her best to hold on, at least until the day she sees you get married. ”
Gu Wanning was full of sourness and choked up: "Grandmother, you are the pillar of our Hou Mansion. The Gu family can't live without you, and I can't lose you. You've got to hold on! you're going to be able to keep going!"
Mrs. Tai put down her arms weakly, and her face was pale and bloodless.
Gu Wanning got up and folded the futon for Mrs. Tai, and then said in a low voice: "Grandmother have a good rest, and I will handle the rest of the things." ”
Mrs. Tai hummed softly, and then closed her eyes.
……
Anyway, Mrs. Tai finally woke up.
Gu Guanning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Wanning walked to the door, called a few maids over, and issued a series of instructions.
"Linlang, you ask Zi Yan and the others to find a soft sedan chair and carry the grandmother back to the Zhenghe Hall to recuperate in peace. ”
"Linglong, pass on my orders, from now on, no one in Rongde Hall is allowed to enter or leave without permission. Violators are held accountable!"
"Sango, you lead people out of the mansion and 'take' the second steward Liao into the mansion. ”
"Liuli, you go to Zheng's mother to take a look, if Zheng's mother confesses the whereabouts of the letter, find out the letter immediately. Remember, this letter must be delivered to me personally. ”
"Yingluo, you go and tell the third uncle, and say that your grandmother has woken up. Let the third uncle go back to the courtyard to rest first. ”
Gu Wanning's expression was calm, and a cold chill floated between his eyebrows.
The maids didn't ask more questions, and they took orders one by one.
Seeing that Gu Wanning didn't tell her to do an errand, Pearl immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter, Miss tell the slave maid!"
Gu Wanning looked at the pearl: "You go to the kitchen to boil some porridge, send it to Zhenghetang later, and persuade grandmother to eat more." ”
Pearl was busy.
The maids were ordered to retreat and get busy in an orderly manner.
After Mrs. Tai was carried away, Gu Guanning instructed Bitong to carry Shen and Gu Jinyan to the bed, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Bitong, from this moment on, you will guard this room and not leave half a step." When the lady and the young master wake up, you will immediately have someone report it to me. ”
Bi Tong replied respectfully: "Yes, the slave maid obeys the orders of the young lady." ”
The first one to come back was Liuli.
"Miss, Mother Zheng was interrogated all night and refused to say anything. Liuli frowned and reported: "The maid sent to search the house turned the house upside down, but I still didn't find where the letter was." ”
Zheng's mother's difficulty is also expected.
She was so loyal to the Shen family that she would never easily explain the whereabouts of that letter.
It was Shen who easily believed her statement, thinking that Zheng's mother had betrayed her.
Gu Wanning's eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly: "Where is Mother Zheng locked up?" ”
……
Zheng's mother was locked up in the firewood room of Rongde Hall.
The light in the firewood room was dim and stuffy, and Zheng's mother was locked up all night, with no rice grains or water, hungry, thirsty and tired.
The person in charge of interrogating Zheng's mother was Mrs. Tai's housekeeper, Li's mother.
Mother Li interrogated back and forth all night, but failed to ask the whereabouts of the letter, she was quite irritable, and opened her mouth to threaten: "Mother Zheng, you are toasted and punished for not eating and drinking." If you don't confess, I'm welcome!"
Mother Zheng snorted weakly.
Mother Li gritted her teeth and instructed the other two mothers-in-law: "You go and get the splint." ”
"You are using lynching!" Zheng's mother looked at each other angrily: "I am not a subordinate of the Hou Mansion, if you dare to torture me, I will go to the yamen to sue the official." At that time, it will be determined how the Beihou Mansion will clear its reputation. ”
The abuse of lynching is indeed inappropriate.
Li's mother has been hesitant and did not torture Zheng's mother, also because of her concerns.
Seeing that Mother Li was silent, Mother Zheng knew that she had spoken to Mother Li's thoughts, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her voice became louder: "Hurry up and let me out." I want to see Madame......"
The door to the firewood room was slammed open.
A dazzling blazing light burst in.
Mother Zheng reflexively closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was already a slender girl figure at the door.
"Mother Zheng is so majestic!" The familiar voice was full of sarcasm: "I don't know how you plan to go out to sue the official? If I don't let you out, what will you do?"
It's Gu Guanning!
Zheng's mother's scalp tightened, and her heart suddenly panicked, and she closed her mouth, and she didn't dare to shout anymore.
"The slave has seen the second lady. Mother Li and the other two mothers-in-law hurriedly came forward to greet the ceremony.
Gu Wanning glanced at Mother Li lightly: "It took so long, and the results of the interrogation have not been found yet?"
Mother Li looked ashamed: "It's useless to be a slave." ”
"You're really useless. Gu Guanning said coldly: "This bit of nonsense scares you." Don't say it's torture, even if you beat her to death, and I'll take care of you for you, what's there to be afraid of. ”
Mother Li immediately perked up: "The slave knows what to do." ”
Mother Zheng's heart trembled, and she mustered up the courage to shout: "I am the person next to my wife, the second lady treats me like this, what kind of face do I have to see my wife." ”
Gu Wanning looked at it, and his eyes were full of mocking sneers: "You are loyal to your mother." Unfortunately, your mother may not trust you as much as you think. I told my mother that you had already handed over the letter, and she believed it without asking. ”
Zheng's mother: "......"
