Follow-up (26) debunking
Lin Long's eyes stared at Gu Guo's face for a moment, but he had to see the clues from her facial expressions, but he didn't know if Gu Guo's was too old and too calm or if he really didn't have any bad intentions, so he didn't let her see anything.
How could Gu Guo not know what Lin Long's gaze represented, the hands under his sleeves were already clenched tightly, and there were no flaws on his face, and after a while, she sighed, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and our Xuanping Marquis Mansion is no exception." ”
Lin Long raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he wisely didn't say a word, this Gu Guo clan must still have something to say.
Sure enough, Gu Guo did not choose to hide it at this time, but told all about Gu Jin's instructions to her distant cousin to kidnap Gu Xuefei, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Mrs. Ye, how can I spare such a person?" As an elder, I don't respect the elderly, this matter involves my son's reputation, I can't have the slightest mistake, so I can't signal the Jin couple to solve her, otherwise I will not have a good night's sleep. ”
After a pause, she continued, "Mrs. Ye is also a mother, she must understand the mood of my guardian daughter, and she said that she would let Gu Jin die, as long as it is for the good of my child, I am willing to do whatever I want." ”
The last words actually said that Lin Long's heart was limited, before she became a mother, her experience of maternal love was limited, and only when she was a real mother did she understand what it meant to be a mother.
"Mrs. Gu has good intentions." She agrees.
Gu Guo's fist under his sleeve was released, "What is it even if you take a human life for this?" I've only had a son and a daughter like this in my life, how can I not hurt them? It made Mrs. Ye smile. ”
Lin Long still generally believed Gu Guo's words, after all, it was reasonable, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she thought that her own brother and Gu Xuefei were in love, so she forcibly suppressed this uneasiness.
"There is one more thing I still have some doubts, and I ask Mrs. Gu to give me advice." She remembered something and said busily.
Gu Guo subconsciously straightened his back, "Mrs. Ye, please speak." ”
Lin Long took a sip of tea, glanced at Gu Guo, who was sitting precariously, and thought for a while before saying, "My question may be a little abrupt, and I ask Mrs. Gu for forgiveness, but I always have a pimple in my heart if I don't ask clearly, so in the end I decided to ask clearly and understand that it is good for everyone, Mrs. Gu, do you say?" ”
"I understand Mrs. Ye's feelings, and I will definitely be like this, so Mrs. Ye might as well speak up." Gu Guo's looked like he was insincere.
Now that her daughter is married to Lin Dong, something like that just now happened, if the marriage fails, her daughter's life will really be over.
Therefore, no matter what problems Lin Long has now, she will accept them all.
Lin Long squinted her eyes and stared at Gu Guo's look, she could see that Gu Guo's was nervous, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable, so she didn't have any doubts in her heart, and her hand still tapped on the table.
She thought of what Su Ziyu had said when she entered the palace that day, if Gu Xuefei's body really had a problem, she would not let Lin Dong marry her if she was killed, and her Lin family could not be left behind.
"Since Mrs. Gu understands it this way, then I will say it bluntly, it is like this, I heard that Miss Gu's body seemed to be ...... when she was young It's a little bad, I don't know if that's the case? ”
She wanted to use the word strange, but in the end she used a more tactful word, after all, there is no evidence, and she can't say that the girl is in good health, right? If it is rumored that Gu Xuefei still wants to be a person?
However, Lin Long said this as if he was an understatement, but in Gu Guo's ears, it was like five thunders exploding in his ears, and it took him a long time to forcibly stabilize his emotions.
looked at the girls and mothers-in-law around her, they were all people from her own house, but what was someone else's house here, the voice next door kept coming, and she couldn't let her words be heard, so she beckoned her subordinates to step forward and leaned over and whispered a few words.
The girls all nodded their heads one by one, and then scattered to guard them from eavesdropping.
As soon as Lin Long saw Gu Guo's appearance, he knew that she didn't want people to hear her next words, so he waved his hand at the few maids he brought and asked them all to go out.
Ruzhuang took the lead in serving his own heroine, and then led Yingxia and Yingdong out.
For a while, only Lin Long and Gu Guo were left sitting opposite each other in the room.
Gu Guo glanced at the wing room where her daughter was staying, which was guarded by people she had sent, and believed that her daughter should not eavesdrop.
She sighed again, approached Lin Long and whispered in a whisper that only the two of them could hear: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Ye, Sister Fei was indeed like this when she was born......
As soon as Lin Long heard the word strange, her eyes widened and stared at Gu Guo's suddenly, and her hand subconsciously covered her chest, Gu Guo's honesty surprised her?
She hadn't asked like that yet, she said it herself, and now she had a high opinion of the Gu Guo family, and she was even more sincere about marrying her family.
Lin Long's reaction, Gu Guo couldn't help but smile bitterly in his eyes, "That's right, Mrs. Ye heard it right, Sister Fei'er was a little wrong in the first few months of her birth, otherwise I wouldn't have invited a famous doctor." As if recalling the past, her eyes were a little confused, "Sister Fei had some problems with her lower body when she was born......
Gu Guo gritted his teeth and told his daughter's situation at that time.
"Sticking together?" Lin Long exclaimed in a low voice, "Then she is now?" ”
Gu Guo hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed Lin Long's shoulder, anxious to explain, "Mrs. Ye, that is a symptom of infancy, and later I got the guidance of a few experienced stable women, and I found some ancient recipes for her to clean," he waved his hand as he spoke, "Later, after a few months, fortunately, God blessed them, and finally separated, this thing sounds scary, in fact, there are also other people's daughters who are born with this symptom, and my son is not alone." ”
In the end, it was not an isolated case, Gu Guo emphasized almost word by word, she couldn't let Lin Long think that her daughter had a problem, but she couldn't answer this question without showing some sincerity.
Lin Long has seen a lot over the years, but the scope of her activities is the one-third of an acre of land in the back house, and she has never given birth to a daughter, so she really has never heard of such a thing.
Now listening to Gu Guo's words, she is still inevitably frightened, and hurriedly asked, "Does that Gu girl have the ability to have children?" ”
Gu Guo waved his hand again and said solemnly, "Mrs. Ye, rest assured, my son will naturally be able to give birth to an heir normally." ”
Lin Long looked at Gu Guo steadily, Gu Guo looked at her without blinking, and the two looked at each other for a long time before they looked away.
This news was a bit shocking, Lin Long did not deny that he was a little confused, but now that he thinks about what Gu Guo said, he can understand what she wants to hide, and there is no mother who hopes that these rumors that are unfavorable to her daughter will spread.
"Mrs. Ye, I chose to tell you openly and honestly, I just don't want this marriage to change, you also saw it just now, the marriage between Brother Ling and my sister Fei must be completed, or it must be done as soon as possible." Gu Guo emphasized.
Originally, she was still thinking about sending her daughter out of the cabinet next year, but now it seems that she can't wait, I'm afraid that the rescue of this falling into the water will be passed around, who knows what ugly words will come out?
For the sake of her daughter, this marriage must be concluded.
Lin Long thought for a while, "Marriage is naturally to be married, but it must be on the premise that the ancient girl's body is unharmed." ”
At this time, she also emphasized her position, that is, Gu Xuefei's body must not have any problems.
"Of course." Gu Guo said with a smile.
Lin Long wants to check, and she won't stop her.
The two initially reached the intention of becoming in-laws, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious.
At this time, Gu Guo's maid said outside, "Madam, there is a girl surnamed Kuang who asks to see the girl. ”
Gu Guoshi frowned, she didn't know the girl surnamed Kuang, and was about to wave her hand to let this person go out, but as soon as the curtain in the back room was lifted, Gu Xuefei had already walked out with lotus steps, "Mother, let her in, she is my new friend." ”
Gu Guo wanted to reprimand her daughter for making friends with everyone, but because Lin Long was sitting, she couldn't scold her, so she could only acquiesce to her daughter's actions with a straight face.
Gu Xuefei was busy asking people to invite Kuang Chaoyun in.
Kuang Chaoyun was already waiting anxiously outside the door, she wanted to come with her before, but because of Gu Guo's family, she couldn't come, but she couldn't wait outside, she finally took the liberty to come to the door to ask for a meeting, hoping that Gu Xuefei was all right.
So now that she has the consent of the head of the Gu family, she hurriedly lifted the curtain and went in, and saw Gu Xuefei at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Gu Xuefei, who had changed into clean clothes, "Miss Gu, why did you get out of bed?" There's nothing wrong with this body, right? I'm worried about dying, although it's hot in the summer, the lake is cold after all, and soaking in it is not good for the body......"
"Miss Kuang, don't worry, I'm fine, you see I'm still alive, how can I look like something?" Gu Xuefei also jumped a few times deliberately.
Kuang Chaoyun saw that she should be fine like this, so he patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, God bless, I was really scared to death just now." ”
"yes, I'm going to be scared when I think about it now." Gu Xuefei echoed.
She thought of the picture when Lin Dong jumped down to save herself, and she couldn't help but have a smile on her face, this smile made Kuang Chaoyun's heart half bitter and half envious, as long as she was not blind, she could see that Gu Xuefei was thinking of Lin Dong.
"Sister Fei, who is this Miss Kuang, why don't you introduce your mother to you?" Gu Guo squinted and looked at Kuang Chaoyun for a long time, but he just didn't have much impression of this young girl.
It doesn't look like a bad person, but as a mother, it's not bad to be careful.
Lin Long recognized Kuang Chaoyun at a glance, when did this Kuang Chaoyun get on the line with Gu Xuefei?
Although she has always admired Kuang Chaoyun's sober attitude, she still doesn't want Kuang Chaoyun to get close to Gu Xuefei, after all, it's a bit unbelievable no matter how you think about it.
But thinking so, she didn't think about debunking Kuang Chaoyun at this time, looking at Gu Xuefei's appearance, she shouldn't know that Kuang Chaoyun was the daughter of the six-rank official who was rumored to show her brother, otherwise Gu Xuefei would not treat her like this.
The daughter's family has never been lenient.
Gu Xuefei was pulling Kuang Chaoyun to introduce her mother excitedly, Kuang Chaoyun also politely blessed her, and when she saw Lin Long slowly stepping forward, she was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Lin Long to be here. Then she wanted to slap the back of her head, Gu Xuefei was going to be engaged to Lin Dong, and it was reasonable for Lin Long to appear here.
"Miss Kuang, let me introduce you, this young lady is Mrs. Xiangyang Hou......" Gu Xuefei hurriedly pulled this newly made friend to introduce to Lin Long.
"Chaoyun has seen Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, but I haven't seen her for many days, how is Mrs." Kuang Chaoyun was busy and generously blessed again.
When Gu Xuefei heard this, she hurriedly said, "Miss Kuang has known Mrs. Xiangyang Hou for a long time? ”
Lin Long was also a little surprised, she thought that Kuang Chaoyun would definitely pretend not to know herself, but she didn't expect her to be honest, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, it seemed that she had taken it for granted. Over the years, I have been pampered and pampered, and I have seen too many pickled dirty things, and it is inevitable that human nature will be darkened, and it seems that it has to be changed.
"It's good, thank you Miss Kwong for your concern."
Kuang Chaoyun smiled at Lin Long, and then explained to Gu Xuefei, "I have met Mrs. Xiangyang Hou a few times earlier, and Mrs. Xiangyang has a lot of support for me, and she is my great benefactor. ”
"Miss Kwong is polite." Lin Long hurriedly said, "It's just a trivial matter that is not worth talking about." ”
"I see, it seems that we are really destined." Gu Xuefei concluded with a smile.
Kuang Chaoyun covered his mouth and smiled.
Gu Guo's eyes didn't have a smile, although Lin Long and Kuang Chaoyun didn't say in detail what made the two get together, but she is not a foolish person after all, it seems that this Kuang girl should be the daughter of Lin Long's favorite six-rank official when he was on a blind date for Lin Dong before.
There is definitely nothing good for this young girl to approach her daughter, seeing her daughter smiling without a city, she has a little hatred for iron and steel, this stupid daughter seems to have been sold and is still counting money.
No, she must mention her daughter afterwards and stay away from this Kuang Chaoyun.
At this time, the curtain was lifted again, and it was Duchess Qiguo who came in with an angry face, as soon as she saw Gu Guo, she said, "Madam Gu, you are here just right, today Ling Qianjin and my sister Yu fell into the water together, I am investigating the reason, I want to ask Ling Qianjin ...... something"
Gu Guo's family only cared about his daughter's reputation before, but he didn't have time to ask in detail what was going on in this falling water? Now after listening to the other party's mother's questioning, I know how negligent I am.
She hurriedly turned her head to look at her daughter, "Sister Fei, I don't know how you fell into the water?" ”
Gu Xuefei glanced at the Duchess of Qiguo with a stern expression, as well as the two young girls of the Qiguo Mansion, and Qi Yu'er, who fell into the water with her, also changed her clothes, but her face was pale and pale, and the other person's face had been swollen, this person was Qi Ling'er, who was obviously taught a lesson by her mother-in-law.
Qi Ling'er looked at Gu Xuefei with resentment in her eyes, this woman was about to marry Lin Dong, she really stole chickens and rice, and actually made a wedding dress for others.
But when she thought that Kuang Chaoyun didn't catch anything, she was happy in her heart again.
Gu Xuefei recalled the situation at that time, "I remember that I was talking to Miss Qi, and then I slipped and was about to fall, and I felt someone help me, and then I didn't know who pushed me from behind, and I fell into the lake as soon as I lost my balance......
This statement is comparable to Qi Yuer's statement, Qi Yuer hurriedly stood up and said, "I was like this at the time, I was still holding the hand of the ancient girl at that time, and then the two of us fell into the water at the same time, but I don't know who was behind us ......"
She didn't bring anyone with her at that time, Gu Xuefei did, so she asked her mother to come over and ask, I remember that there seemed to be people from the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion who also passed by, in short, I don't remember it clearly.
"yes, that's how it was." Gu Xuefei said, thinking of what happened to her, she still had a little hatred, "Don't let me find this person, otherwise I will never let her go." ”
"Me too." Qi Yu'er almost gritted her teeth and said these four words.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites said, "Otherwise, I will bring all the people who were on errand in the vicinity at that time to check them one by one to see who is the most suspicious." ”
Duchess Qiguo nodded, and Gu Guo also nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly ordered to go down.
Qi Ling'er set her eyes on Kuang Chaoyun, "Mother, this Kuang girl was also present at that time." ”
When Duchess Qiguo heard this, her eyes looked at Kuang Chaoyun as if she were there, and asked in a cold voice, "You were also there at the time?" ”
Kuang Chaoyun was stunned by the other party's attitude, her scalp gradually tingled, and she could feel that the words of the Duchess of Qiguo did not contain much kindness.
"Back to the words of the Duchess of Qiguo, the little woman was indeed present at that time, but the little woman can swear to the sky, and she will definitely not secretly harm the Qi girl and the ancient girl, if there is half a lie, the sky will be thundered." Kuang Chaoyun hurriedly made a poisonous oath to clear up his relationship.
Gu Xuefei was also busy standing in front of her friend, her eyes looking directly at Duchess Qi Guo, "Mrs. Qi, I guarantee that Miss Kuang is absolutely fine, she can't be the one who secretly harmed me and Miss Qi......"
"That's not necessarily," Qi Ling'er sneered, "I'm afraid that the ancient girl doesn't know yet, right?" This Miss Kuang has a deep affection for Lin Zhuangyuan, what do you think she can't do? I heard that the ancient girl also likes this new champion. After a pause, "Miss Gu might as well think about it, if you were immersed in this lake at that time, who would be the cheapest person?" Only poor my sister is the most innocent person. ”
In the end, she forced out two tears.
The Gulin family wants to get married, how can there be no rumors in the capital?
Qi Ling'er had heard about it a long time ago, but these two had not confirmed it, and she thought that she still had a good chance. I also planned to design Lin Dong to let him marry her, but I didn't expect this to be the result, it seems that Lin Dong, the Tang monk, has to give up.
Gu Xuefei's heart immediately "chuckled", and turned her head to look at Kuang Chaoyun incredulously, she still didn't want to believe that Kuang Chaoyun approached her for a purpose.
Kuang Chaoyun didn't expect Qi Ling'er to be so vicious, so he hurriedly said, "How could I be so poisonous?" Qi Ling'er, don't dare to say anything, be careful that the wind flashes your tongue. She looked at Gu Xuefei with a frank gaze, "Miss Gu, you have to believe me, I really have no malice in being friends with you, how can I take Qi Ling'er's words seriously?" ”
She didn't dare to say that she was absolutely selfish, but it was true that she had no malice.
Gu Xuefei stared at this new friend carefully, and saw that Kuang Chaoyun's eyes did not evade him, and he said for a long time, "Miss Kuang, I believe you." ”
Kuang Chaoyun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and was very grateful to Gu Xuefei for her trust at this moment, for the sake of this trust, she must not do anything that would lose this trust.
At this moment, she secretly swore in her heart.
Qi Ling'er saw that she couldn't separate the two of them, and she was unwilling, "Gu girl, why are you so stupid?" People have hurt you, and you're still here to count the money......"
"Presumptuous, pay attention to your own wording, you are just a concubine of the Qi family, and my son is a serious concubine." Gu Guo scolded Qi Ling'er angrily, this girl's mouth was really unrepaired, and she looked at the Duchess of Qi Guo, "Mrs. Qi should discipline your concubine well, don't bring out such a background and be embarrassed." ”
Dare to say that her daughter is a fool, this Qi Ling'er is so bold.
Duchess Qi Guo turned around and slapped Qi Ling'er in the face, it was all this girl's protector who was not good, let her own daughter encounter such a thing, what was the use of her keeping her? "Go back and treat your stinky mouth well, why don't you apologize to Miss Gu soon?"
If it was in the past, she would definitely not teach her concubine face to face, but now she is angry, how can she care so much.
Qi Ling'er was slapped by this mother-in-law again, and the expression on her face became a little hideous, but she didn't dare to resist, so she endured her anger and stepped forward to apologize to Gu Xuefei.
"Gu girl, please forgive me for being outspoken."
Her apology was for Gu Xuefei, and as for Kuang Chaoyun, she naturally ignored the past and treated her as transparent.
Kuang Chaoyun looked at Qi Ling'er indifferently, he was really a clown.
Gu Xuefei looked coldly at the young girl who was bent in front of her, and she didn't have a good impression of her at all, "In my opinion, the person who is most likely to harm me and Miss Qi is you, first soiled Miss Qi's skirt, and then excused herself to leave, looking for someone behind her back to secretly do a black hand, and then let someone save Miss Qi to damage her reputation, Qi Ling'er, do you think I'm right?" ”
When Qi Ling'er heard this, her eyes widened instantly.
At this moment, she could feel how cold her mother-in-law's gaze was when she looked at her back, so cold that her whole body shivered involuntarily.
