Li Guoxun returned to the backyard with a solemn face, and saw from a distance that the lights in the main courtyard were still on. This is a habit that Mrs. Li has developed since she became a parent, and she will leave the light at night and wait for Li Guoxun, unless Li Guoxun sends someone to tell Mrs. Li that he will not go over.

Mrs. Li stood up when she heard the familiar footsteps, and when she saw Li Guoxun's face, she hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Li Guoxun didn't tell Mrs. Li what happened just now, but asked, "You have also met with Yueyao's child a few times, what do you think of that child?" ”

Mrs. Li was very surprised, she didn't understand why her husband suddenly asked this, and after thinking for a while, she said, "This child is quite sensible, what's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with Yueyao? ”

Li Guoxun shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Yueyao had been in the studio, and when she heard something from Suosuo outside, she guessed that Xiang Wei had returned. Sure enough, I heard Hao's mother's voice.

When Hao's mother saw Xiang Wei coming out of the house, she said with a smile, "Miss Xiang Wei, why are you up again?" She thought that Xiang Wei would come back at dawn when she went out to run errands, but she didn't expect to come back just over an hour.

Xiang Wei smiled: "I can't sleep, I want to go and see the girl." ”

When Yueyao saw Xiang Wei, she asked eagerly, "How is it?" ”

Xiang Wei told Yue Yao about the contents of the box, and Xiang Wei also said her guess: "That booklet may be an account book." Xiang Wei has experienced a lot of things, and Lian Dongfang is eager to get the booklet, she guesses that this book is likely to be Lian Dongbo's secret account in Jiangnan, and because of this speculation, Xiang Wei didn't dare to touch this booklet.

Yue Yao was stunned for a moment, and quickly denied this speculation, and said, "Impossible, what is my father sitting in the box with an account book?" It won't be a book. ”

Xiang Wei's conspiracy theory, she thinks that Lian Dongbo may have found evidence of the secret collusion of some officials in Jiangnan, but he was killed before he could make a quick contact.

Yue Yao's face turned pale when she heard this speculation, but she quickly regained her composure and shook her head: "Impossible." This thing can't be an account book, let alone evidence of the guilt of some officials. "Even if her father collects some evidence of the guilt of the offender, it is impossible to put this evidence together with the money. This book,There must be another mystery.。

Xiang Wei also felt reasonable after listening to Yueyao's instructions, she thought for a while and said, "I'll know if it's okay when I get the things when the time comes." ”

Yueyao's face was a little heavy.

Mo Shi had breakfast and asked Mrs. Liu: "Is there any movement in Lanxi Courtyard?" "If there's anything wrong with this ghost, it's at night.

Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "No, it's the same as usual." "The people in Lanxi Courtyard didn't move around except to pick up things as usual, and even Mother Deng didn't go to the backyard.

Mo shook his head and said, "I'm going to Li Mansion in the afternoon, you let people stare at that girl, I don't believe she will be so calm." As long as Yueyao makes a move and shows her feet, the master will definitely believe her words at that time.

Not long after breakfast, the Li family sent a small servant over. The little servant conveyed Li Guoxun's words and said: "Master Lian, my master said that he will invite Master Ma to the house after he goes down to the court, and please take Master Lian and Miss Lian with him at that time." This means that no one else should go.

Lian Dongfang's eyes were gloomy, now that the things are in Li Guoxun's hands, Li Guoxun can only have the final say, he just wants to hope that he can get things smoothly.

In the backyard, Mrs. Liu said to Mo's: "Madam, Mother Gu is here." "Mother Gu was found by Mo's family. Gu's mother was Yueyao's nurse before, and she was also Yueyao's most trusted person, so she should know about it.

After Gu's mother left Lianfu, life was not good. The silver given by Yueyao is a huge amount of money in the eyes of the subordinates, but the consumption in the capital is very high, and this bit of silver is really nothing. As soon as Gu's mother went out, she looked for a house everywhere, and the house in the capital was very expensive, and Gu's mother spent all the cash in her hand when she bought a house in a civilian area.

Gu's mother didn't want to sit and eat empty, so she took all the jewelry and things she had accumulated from Yueyao, and used the silver to make a small shop to make a small business.

If you just live, you can make a living with a small shop. It's a pity that her son still has to study, the cost of studying is very large, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone all kinds of money, and she has to pay her husband for repairs, and the income from the small shop can be said to be a drop in the bucket.

In the past two years, Gu's mother can still hold on because she still has a foundation. But Gu's mother's savings are about to run out, and it won't be long before her son's books can't be read. For the sake of her son's future, Gu's mother wanted to beg Yueyao again, hoping that Yueyao would be gracious.

In the past two years, Gu's mother has not returned to Lian's house to beg Yueyao, but unfortunately Yueyao can't see her. Gu's mother really regretted it, she shouldn't have turned her back on the girl, otherwise she would still be living a good life now, and she wouldn't have to worry about having no money for her son to study.

Mo Shi didn't talk to Gu's mother politely, and asked directly: "When the second master passed away, did you give the third girl a key?" "If she gets the exact information, she can handle it.

Mother Gu shook her head and said, "When the second master passed away, he left the girl with a box. I only guessed that there were a lot of silver tickets in the box, and I don't know what else was in the box. "Mother Gu has never seen the contents of the box, so she is naturally not sure if there is a key in the box.

Mo Shi stared at Gu's mother and said, "You really don't know. ”

Mother Gu's face was gloomy: "Madam, I really don't know. If I knew, could I not tell Madame? ”

Mo Shi thought for a while and then said: "The contrast between the three girls is so big, do you think there is something wrong with her?" "Mo always felt that Yue Yao was very wrong, and Yue Yao's appearance now was like a different person than when she just came back. If it's just a nightmare, it's really unreasonable, even if Ma Tuomeng told Yueyao that she was bad, it was impossible to change a person's temperament.

Mother Gu had long felt that something was wrong with Yueyao, but this was all her feeling, and there was no substantial evidence, so she didn't dare to say anything now.

Mo Shi looked at Gu's mother and became impatient, and said, "Mother Hua, let the account room pay ten taels of silver to Gu's mother!" "It's meant to drive people out.

Mother Gu didn't want to leave like this, but begged Mo Shi and said, "Madam, let me see the third girl again!" The girl is my grandmother, and I want to see her day and night these days. Please, ma'am. ”

There was mockery on Mo's face, but she met Gu's mother's request: "Go and invite the third girl to come over, saying that I have something to look for her." Mo Shi knew very well that if he directly said that Gu's mother came to visit her, with Yueyao's cold-blooded temperament, he would never come over.

It's a pity that Mo still overestimated her position, and the maid she sent came back and said, "Madam, the maid from Lanxi Courtyard said that the third girl didn't sleep well last night, and she didn't dare to wake up the girl, so let the girl come over when the girl woke up." This maid also felt that Yueyao was becoming more and more disrespectful to Madame, and she didn't even dare to come to Madame's summons.

Mohs sneered, didn't sleep well yesterday? It must be because she was closely guarded that she couldn't send the news out, so she didn't sleep. Mo Shi said to Hua Pozi: "You take her to Lanxi Courtyard!" ”

Hua Pozi took Gu's mother to Lanxi Courtyard.

Yue Yao was reading a book in the bedroom, and when she heard Gu's mother coming back, the corners of Yue Yao's mouth crossed and sneered: "Just say I'm still sleeping, let her wait!" ”

Yue Yao leaned back in her chair and said to Xiang Wei, who was tinkering with herbs next to her, "Why do you say there are so many insatiable people in this world? "Mo's one, Gu's mother is also one, and most of them are insatiable people.

Yueyao also knew that Gu's mother wanted to see her several times when she went to Lianfu, but she didn't see her. She didn't even need to ask others to know that Gu's mother was not having a good time. Yue Yao sneered, now that life is not good and she wants to come back, where is there such a cheap thing in the world. Without the help of Lian Jia, and without the supply of money, her son may not be able to settle down in his life, let alone being admitted to the official examination in the future.

Xiang Wei chuckled: "Don't talk about people, let's just say that this flower has to fight for fertilizer if it is planted densely." However, people are more greedy, for the sake of fame and profit, they can do whatever it takes, even if they fall into hell, they are not afraid. Girl, you don't need to take these people to heart. ”

Gu's mother waited for Yueyao in the living room, but she didn't see Yueyao for a long time. The maids were also very lazy, there was no cup of tea, and the thirst was so thirsty that Gu's mother smoked in her throat.

Gu's mother originally wanted to see the girl complaining and begging, even if she couldn't return to the girl, she could get some benefits, but she didn't expect the girl to hang her.

Hao's mother looked a little unpresentable, went into the bedroom and said, "Girl, is this inappropriate?" The girl is her big. "The more the nurse of a large family, the more respected she is. If Yueyao doesn't give Gu's mother face and spreads it, her reputation will not be good.

Yue Yao didn't care, and said, "Let her wait a little longer." ”

Until lunch, Gu's mother watched the maid bring water into the house. Mother Gu's eyelids jumped and jumped, she didn't expect Yueyao to sleep until noon before getting up.

Yueyao came out to see Gu's mother, and asked expressionlessly, "What's the matter with Gu's mother coming here?" ”

Mother Gu said bably: "The old slave misses the girl, so ......" The latter words stopped the topic in Yueyao's sneer.

Yueyao was impatient with her and said, "Miss me? I know very well why you came to Lian's house, it was because you had a bad life outside that you remembered the comfortable days with me, so don't say those things in front of me that you think are fake when you hear them yourself. Hao's mother, you sent her out. ”

Mother Gu burst into tears when she heard this, and cried: "Girl, you are also my grandmother, just like my daughter, the girl is digging my heart when she says this." ”

Yue Yao sneered: "The minions who betray the master have to be beaten to death with a rolling stick." If it weren't for your mother's sake, you would have been a dead man. ”

Mother Gu's face trembled, and she looked at Yue Yao and suddenly shouted: "Girl, I ended up with such a fate after I took care of the girl." Girl, aren't you afraid that everyone will be chilled? ”

Yueyao didn't bother to entangle with Gu's mother.

Hua Bud said angrily on the side: "Mother Gu, when you left, the girl gave you seven or eight hundred taels of silver to support the elderly." So much silver, enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, how can you say that the girl doesn't miss the old love. It's all your own insatiable greed......"

Hao's mother glared at Hua Bud, this matter is right, where can I still mumble out? Hao's mother went to help Gu's mother, but she saw that Gu's mother was reluctant to get up.

Xiang Wei spoke in the ear of the drizzle.

Drizzle also walked over to help Hao's mother, and seeing that Gu's mother still didn't understand, she pressed against Gu's mother's ear and said in a mosquito-like voice: "The girl has given you a great grace to leave with dignity, don't really think that the girl is a soft persimmon." If you provoke the girl, even if the girl doesn't mind, the uncle will come forward, and when the time comes, don't say that your son wants to take the test for fame, you have to beg to bless him to live. Don't think it's to scare you, if you dare to talk nonsense outside and ruin the girl's reputation, see if someone will give you a pension in the end. ”

Mother Gu looked at the drizzle, as if she saw a ghost.

Drizzle smiled and said, "If my mother doesn't believe it, I can't help it, just don't regret it." "The girl is too good, this kind of person is a typical bully and afraid of the hard. Looking at Gu's mother's fiasco face, Drizzle felt that Sister Xiang Wei's method was the most practical.

Gu's mother didn't dare to say more in the last word, and hurried out of Lanxi Courtyard.
