After the three-day ritual was completed, when Gu Chongyang returned to Gu's house on Dongzhimen Street, Gu Tailai brought new news.

In the past few days, the fourth master has been going to the outer room almost every day, sometimes just sitting for a while and leaving, and sometimes staying until the middle of the night. Sang Wu also has the latest discovery, that is, there is a doctor who comes to the door almost every day.

Just after doing the Dharma for the Fourth Lady, Gu Chongyang's mood was still a little heavy, and she asked casually, "What news did Sang Wu get from the doctor?" ”

"Miss, it's a very important news." Gu Tailai's face was solemn, and his tone was solemn: "The outer room has been pregnant for about seven months, and it won't be long before she will give birth." ”

Gu Chongyang only felt a tingling in his heart.

Seven months, that is, less than half a year after his mother's death, he made the outer chamber pregnant. Excluding the daughter who was born to the Outer Chamber before, this is the second pregnancy in the Outer Chamber.

No wonder he has never been worried that his mother will not be able to give birth to a son, and he keeps saying that he can pass on, it turns out that he has already made up his mind that someone else will give him a son.

How innocent the mother is! How cruel the fourth master is, he actually deceived his mother for so many years with his affectionate and loving fatherly appearance!

Her heart ached, just as painful as the last time she learned that her father might have been complicit in slandering and murdering her mother.

"No!" Gu Chongyang whispered to himself: "It's not worth it, such a person is not worth her heartache, not worthy of his mother's birth of children for him, and not worth his mother's so much sacrifice for him." ”

Mother was not a jealous person, so why should he do this? Even if she wants to pick up the mother and daughter to come in, although the mother will feel uncomfortable, she will definitely clean up the house and take them in and treat them well.

But why would he do this? Did she want her mother to give way to the person outside?

This idea was immediately pushed down by Gu Chongyang.

No, if that were the case, he would never have waited so many years.

After his mother died, he wanted to continue the string, and later married Ge Bilian, so it can be seen that the fourth master may not have thought about taking the mother and daughter in the outer room into the house at all.

If it wasn't for the mother and daughter outside, why would the fourth master do this?

What is it for?

Gu Chongyang felt that he had walked into a dead end, and he couldn't find a way out.

"I see, it's great news." She really hasn't made any progress at all now, and she doesn't have any thoughts in her mind, so she can only say, "Let Sang Wu continue to stare at it, and wait." ”

The next few days were calm until the sixteenth day of the lunar month, when Gu Tailai suddenly came in to report: "The fourth master went to the outer room early in the morning, and also rented a carriage, saying that he wanted to take the lady and the little girl to Tantuo Temple to pray for blessings. Sang Wu brought a message over and asked the young lady to show me. ”

On his mother's anniversary festival, he did a three-day water and land dojo, but he only went to Guangji Temple on the morning of the first day, and in the next two days, he said that he was busy with official business and never showed up again. But now, he has time to go to Tantuo Temple outside the city to offer incense and pray for blessings.

When his mother died, he shared the joy of family with other women, forgetting all the love he had with his mother.

But in front of outsiders, every time he mentions his mother, he always makes a nostalgic and sad look, which is really ironic.

It's only been a few months since his mother died, and he can't wait to marry Ge Bilian, on the one hand, he wants to marry a beautiful girl, and on the other hand, he is happy with the outer room and the illegitimate daughter, which is really chilling.

In her previous life, she also experienced the pain of losing her mother and the indifference of her father, but she was just an ignorant girl at that time, and although she was sad about her mother's death, the pain was limited and not very profound.

After being a human being in two lives, experiencing Ge Bilian's insidious cunning, getting married and having children, and missing her children, she realized how precious it was to be coquettish by her mother's side, but now this qiē has come to naught.

This is all thanks to the four masters!

Gu Tailai saw that Gu Chongyang didn't speak for a long time, and knew that she was uncomfortable, so he urged: "Miss, when Sang Wu came to the news, the fourth master and they were already preparing to go out. If you want to send someone to follow, you have to be faster, and you may not be able to catch up if you are late. ”

"No need. No need to follow. ”

What to do with it? Let Sang Wu watch how the fourth master and the mother and daughter in the outer room are happy, and then report it to her?

She doesn't want to hear it!

Gu Chongyang's heart was very cold, and he couldn't keep his spirits up: "It's freezing outside, you let Sang Wu rest first in the morning, and then continue to watch when the fourth master comes back in the afternoon." ”

"Yes." Gu Tailai answered and retreated.

In the evening, the snow that had been falling in the capital suddenly became heavier, and the goose feather snow flew all over the sky, and the north wind was cold, blowing on the face like a knife.

Gu Chongyang asked Gu Chongzhi to send brand new bedding, charcoal, and some snacks. Knowing that Gu Chongzhi was in good spirits, she relieved herself.

After dinner, she had the door closed early, and the master and servant gossiped in the living room where the dragon had burned.

The cold wind howled outside the window, blowing the lanterns under the porch to sway from side to side, and there was no peace.

Suddenly, there was a sound of impatient knocking on the door, Lu Wu wore a big sweater, and asked through the door, it turned out that the mother-in-law who was keeping vigil came to report, saying that Gu Tai was coming.

"Miss Luwu, it's so late, I said that Miss has already fallen asleep, but Gu Tai said that he has something very important to report to Miss." Through the door, the howling cold wind blew the mother-in-law's voice loud and small: "Look, do you want to let Gu Tailai in?" ”

"Let him in!" Gu Chongyang said to Lu Wu without thinking about it: "Gu Tailai is not an unreliable person, if something big hadn't happened, he would never have knocked on the door at this time." ”

Lu Wu said the words to the mother-in-law, and after a while, Gu Tailai walked in wrapped in wind and snow.

There was a lot of snow outside, and although I held an oil-paper umbrella, I still couldn't cover the goose feathers. The hat on his head was all white, his eyebrows were covered with snowflakes, and his face was red from the cold.

Lu Wu hurriedly handed him a hand stove: "My God, such a big snow, why are you still here." ”

Taking over the hand stove, Gu Tailai glanced at the green turnkey gratefully, strode to the inner room, and hurriedly made a salute, without waiting for Gu Chongyang to ask, he reported concisely: "Miss, something is wrong." After the fourth master took the mother and daughter out today, he didn't come back until the evening. But when I came back, there was only the fourth master, and the mother and daughter didn't come back, not to mention, the fourth master just took a look and went back to our house. This is not strange, the strange thing is that after the fourth master returned to the house, Bibo took the people who went to him and sold the house. ”

Gu Chongyang was taken aback when she heard this, she didn't expect this to happen with a small negligence.

It's freezing outside, where did the fourth master take the mother and daughter? The outer room has been pregnant for seven months, where can I go with a big belly? Even if you move, you can't be in such a hurry, right? Could it be that the matter she sent someone to track down was discovered, so the fourth master transferred them? But it doesn't look like it.

"Sang Wuke can see clearly, when the fourth master went out with the mother and daughter in the outer room in the morning, how many cars were called and how many things did he bring?"

When I saw it clearly, I called two cars, the mother and daughter in the outer room took one with a mother-in-law who served closely, and the fourth master took a car by himself. I brought things with me, but I didn't bring anything with me. ”

Gu Chongyang's heart was pounding, she was annoyed and blamed herself, and finally got a clue, she was so careless and lost, it was really annoying.

For now, the only way to do this is to remedy it quickly, and hopefully it is still too late.

"Luwu, take a hundred taels of silver tickets to Gu Tailai."

Gu Chongyang said to Gu Tailai again: "The fourth master went out today in a rented car, then you go to the car dealership to ask someone, and you will definitely be able to find out the clues, this is very important." There is also Tantuo Temple, which also has to be run. The place where the people who served before in the outer room have gone is also a very important clue. You and Sang Wu act separately, and you must find out the whereabouts of the lady and the little lady. ”

It was very late, Gu Tailai couldn't stay longer, Gu Chongyang's orders were answered one by one, and after receiving the silver ticket, he walked out in the wind and snow.

Gu Chongyang's mind spun rapidly, carefully scrutinizing the key points of this matter.

Could it be that I misunderstood, that mother and daughter are not the outer room of the fourth master? But if it weren't for the outer room of the fourth master, how could a woman from a good family get along with him without hesitation?

If it was really the outer room of the fourth master, where did he get the mother and daughter? The mother and daughter had lived there for more than ten years and had not moved, so how could they leave suddenly?

Do they know that the fourth master is going to take them away, or do they not know that they are just at the mercy of the fourth master?

In the past, Gu Chongyang would never have thought that the fourth master would deceive people, but now, the fourth master is no longer the humble gentleman in her heart, she feels that since he can murder his wife, he will be cold to his daughter-in-law, and it is not uncommon to murder the outer room and illegitimate daughter.

But why? Why did you murder them?

Gu Chongyang felt that he was in an inner house and couldn't go out casually, it was really like someone covering his eyes and ears, and he had become a blind man who couldn't see anything, and a deaf person who couldn't hear anything. When can you really have the freedom to come and go as you like without being constrained by others?

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighteenth day of the lunar month, that is, the third day after the disappearance of the mother and daughter in the outer room, and the Gu Mansion ushered in a happy event.

This day should be adopted and married, it is an auspicious day for the zodiac to meet relatives and friends and seek heirs, and it is also a small day for the fourth lord Gu Zhanming and Ge Bilian, the niece of Mrs. Ge.
