Chapter 90: The Outer Chamber

When the mother died, the father was not only at home, he was even involved in the whole process.

Gu Chongyang didn't dare to think about it, but he had to think about it.

Because, I'm afraid, that's the cruel truth.

My mother was not framed, so she committed suicide.

There is another reason why the mother threw herself in.

And the content of her quarrel with her father before her death is particularly crucial, and the most terrifying thing is that it is very likely that her father forced her mother to death. Because the rest of the Gu family was not at home except for the second lady.

Why? What was going on, and why did my father do it?

She didn't know any of that.

At this moment, she seems to have swallowed countless coptis, and her internal organs are all bitter.

"Uncle Dacheng, you said that the person who killed my mother, could it be my father?"

Wu Dacheng looked at Gu Chongyang worriedly, and then stumbled and said: "Although the fourth master is very suspicious, none of us know what the truth of the matter is. He's your father after all, and he shouldn't do anything like that. Besides, I couldn't figure out what he was doing it for. Therefore, it should not be the fourth master. ”

"Then why didn't you contact me for most of the year?" Gu Chongyang asked, "Don't you dare, right?" You're suspicious of the Fourth Master, aren't you? ”

Wu Dacheng rubbed his hands and said dryly: "Miss, don't think nonsense, there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed." ”

"No, it won't!" Gu Chongyang's hands clenched into fists tightly: "If I don't investigate, if I am silent, then there will never be a day when the truth will be revealed." I have to find out, I have to find out the truth about my mother's death, she gave birth to me, I have no chance to repay her, I have to prove her innocence. ”

I can't let my mother die in vain like in the previous life. No matter who the killer is, she won't back down, even if that person is her father.

Besides, this qiΔ“ was just her guess. What the hell is going on, no one knows until the last moment.

Just like before she met Wu Dacheng, she thought that someone else had framed her mother and Wu Dacheng, but things took a turn and showed an unexpected side to her. Perhaps, after meeting my father, things will take other turns. It doesn't necessarily mean that the father is the murderer, he may have been framed.

Borrowing a knife to kill people and transferring flowers and trees are also common methods in the inner house.

Originally, the old lady had always wanted to be unfavorable to their four rooms and to sow discord between their mother and father, but they didn't do it before.

This time, it is very likely that someone else harmed his mother and took the opportunity to blame his father.

She wanted to see her father, ask her father in person, no longer hide it, but ask it publicly.

"Uncle Dacheng, are you willing to confront me in front of my father and tell the fourth master what you know?"

"I do." Wu Dacheng looked a little excited when he heard this: "I still haven't figured out what happened, how did the fourth lady and my mother die, the two people who are so good, how can they say that they are gone." Miss, I have been hiding and enduring humiliation and stealing my life, not because I am greedy for life and afraid of death, but because I can't die, I must find out the truth of the facts, my mother did not poison my wife, and I am innocent with my wife. ”

"Good!"

She wanted to take Wu Dacheng back to Gu's house on Dongzhimen Street almost on the spot, but she didn't know what was going on, and her mind suddenly flashed that the Ge family was pointing fingers in Rongdong Courtyard, and the fourth master was smiling and responding.

She thought about it, and for the sake of safety, she finally said: "I asked Gu Tailai to take you to my uncle's house, you can stay there in peace, don't go out, don't go anywhere." I'll go back and make arrangements, and I'll send someone to pick you up and wait patiently for my news. ”

Wu Dacheng didn't say a word, like Gu Chongyang promised: "Miss, don't worry, I won't go anywhere." You meet the fourth master, tell him well. My wife and I are innocent, I ...... Those slanderous remarks are all false. When I meet the fourth master and explain to him, he will definitely believe it. ”

Although the road ahead is bumpy, there are still people standing by his side, and Gu Chongyang feels a little more comfort in his heart.

"Uncle Dacheng, sit down, I'll help you take the pulse."

Wu Dacheng was stunned for a moment, but still sat down as he said. Gu Chongyang's three fingers went up, and once again confirmed that Wu Dacheng's was indeed a heavenly cripple, and his heart was suddenly full of confidence.

Wu Dacheng is a cripple, and the framing of others is unclear between him and his mother, which is purely a meridian necessity. She wanted to see how her father would explain it.

Gu Chongyang did not go to Guangji Temple, but went back to Gu's house directly.

When she got home, she kept thinking about what was going on, and she couldn't figure out what was going on.

Now, the only one who can solve the mystery in her heart is her father.

When the fourth master came back, she went to the study and waited. But I waited for a long time, and I didn't wait for the fourth master to arrive.

Dan Xin told her: "As soon as the fourth master came back, he went to Rongdongyuan, saying that he was going to move his wife's dowry to the treasury. Qingbo has already gone to inform the fourth master, and it is estimated that the fourth master is already on his way here. ”

Gu Chongyang's heart suddenly felt very stuffy.

The house where the mother lived will be vacated to the new mother, and the father whom the mother loves deeply will also belong to the new mother, so in the father's heart, what is the mother?

Like the dowry that was moved out? I can't see it anymore, I can't think about it anymore, I can only fill the dark warehouse with dust.

She doesn't want that!

Gu Chongyang got up from the chair, and at the same time, the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and the fourth master walked in.

"Why did you come here and not say it in advance?" The fourth old man asked with a frown, and walked in: "What happened to you when the old lady's mother's family came to the house that day?" Although our Gu family has now been taken captive and is no longer the Marquis of Qingyang's mansion, you are also a daughter of a famous family, and no matter how bad you are, you are also a lady, how can you do such a rude thing, which makes people laugh! ”

didn't expect that his father would say such a call to himself as soon as he met, Gu Chongyang's originally dull mood became more and more uncomfortable, and then when he thought of the contemptuous face of the Ge family that day, and when he thought that Ge Bilian's father was protecting her like this before he entered the door, the anger in Gu Chongyang's heart was rising rapidly, and the words he said were also very unpleasant.

"Since it's the old lady's maiden family, why didn't the old lady summon me? Why don't you see you in Aneiwon? Father, we haven't seen each other for more than half a month, right? Do you want to blame your daughter for outsiders as soon as you meet? ”

Gu Chongyang paused and said, "When my mother was alive, you were reluctant to say a word to me. ”

The fourth master was suddenly speechless for a while, and after a while, he said, "When your mother is here, you won't be so rude." Your mother is gone, no one is disciplining you, and I am very negligent, I just think that you are still young, and it is nothing if you don't know the rules. But I'm only here these days, you're not smiling anymore, you're going to be a big girl when you see it, and you're rude like this, how can it be good. ”

"This time, I won't care about you. Don't be so ridiculous again! ”

In her previous life, her father was indeed very negligent to her, so she had poor rules and suffered a lot.

Perhaps, in her previous life, her father wanted to take care of her, because her stepmother was a hindrance, so their father and daughter would go further and further?

She didn't want to think too much of her father, so she had to put the blame on her stepmother Ge Bilian, maybe she would feel better.

The complaint in Gu Chongyang's heart gradually subsided, and she lowered her voice and said, "Are you afraid that I will leave a bad impression on Ge Bilian?" Are you afraid that the new mistress will come in and give me grievances? ”

The fourth old man looked at Gu Chongyang in amazement: "You know everything?" ”

"Yes, Mama Qiu sued me. It was indeed the old lady's maiden family, but it was also the maiden family of the new housemother. If I don't get a good job, the new housewife will give me little shoes to wear. Gu Chongyang suddenly raised his head and looked at the four old men: "However, I'm not afraid at all." I am my father's daughter, and with you protecting me, no one wants to bully me! ”

Gu Chongyang's voice was slowly full of trust, and there was also the unique coquettishness of the little girl.

The eyebrows and eyes are seven or eight points similar to the fourth lady.

When the fourth master saw it, he suddenly felt a little weak, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

A trace of surprise and coldness appeared in Gu Chongyang's heart, when did it start, his father changed, and he didn't even bother to tell her perfunctory words.

"Father, what happened that day?" Gu Chongyang suddenly raised his voice and asked straight to the point, "How did my mother die?" ”

The fourth master seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts and was awakened, he stared at Gu Chongyang with wide eyes, a little flustered.

"Why are you asking again, didn't I sue you......"

"But that's not the truth." Gu Chongyang interrupted him stiffly: "I have already asked Fei Niangzi, she said that my mother was hanged, Fei Niangzi, you are not familiar with it, but Grandma Sun should know, right?" Grandma Sun is the personal servant next to the second aunt, and Lady Fei is the daughter-in-law of Grandma Sun......"

"How can you trust other people's words?" The fourth old man looked very irritable, he turned his back to Gu Chongyang, looking out the window at the sky that was slowly becoming dim because of the setting sun.

"On the day of my mother's accident, no one else was there, only the second aunt was at home. The news of her mother's death was also a letter from Grandma Sun. I believe that she is not talking about it, because my mother has no heart disease at all, and it is just a nonsense made up to hide people's eyes. ”

Gu Chongyang looked directly at the fourth master, and said word by word: "Father, I am my mother's daughter, and I have the right to know the truth." ”

The fourth master did not look back, and still insisted on his original statement: "There is no truth, this is all your cranky imagination, your mother died of heart disease." Whatever hangs yourself and commits suicide, it's all someone else who makes up nonsense to deceive you. ”

"You're the one who made up the lies to me!" Gu Chongyang spoke quickly and urgently: "You were obviously at home that day!" ”

As soon as she said this, the fourth master's body stiffened obviously.

He turned his head in disbelief and looked at Gu Chongyang dumbfounded: "You ......"

He wanted to ask Gu Chongyang how he knew, and he wanted to ask Gu Chongyang what else he knew, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly lost his courage.

It's not that he doesn't want to ask, but he doesn't dare to ask. He could only pant and look at Gu Chongyang.

"Why did you lie to me?" Gu Chongyang took a step forward and asked him unceremoniously: "I came back from Tantuo Temple, you said that you didn't have time to see your mother for the last time and you were separated from him forever, you are lying!" That day, you got your clothes wet with tea and came back early. You see your mother, and you have a fight with her. ”

"If my mother's death wasn't something else, why would you lie to me?" Gu Chongyang's voice suddenly lowered, with a little pleading: "Father, you were at home that day, do you know anything, please tell me, how did your mother die?" ”

The fourth master suddenly held his breath to calm down his panting breath, he sat down in a chair and said slowly: "You are right, your mother did not die of illness. ”

His voice was slow and condensed, as if he was very reluctant to speak.

"She did throw herself into the army, but no one forced her, she hanged herself."

Gu Chongyang didn't speak, he listened quietly, but his heart was in his throat.

"The reason why she hanged herself was because she was caught in bed for adultery, so she apologized with death."

Gu Chongyang felt that her heart stopped beating all of a sudden, her body shook and she could barely stand, if she hadn't held on to the table behind her, she would have fallen at any time.

"Chongyang, you now know why I don't want to sue you, I don't want to sue you for your mother's unbearable side."

"I don't believe it!" Gu Chongyang's eyes were blank, and he muttered to himself, "Mother wouldn't do that." ”

"Yes, I don't believe it as much as you do!" The fourth master said bitterly: "When I came back, your mother didn't admit it, but accused me of believing that others didn't believe her. It's not that I don't believe her, it's just that something so big is going on at home, I should always ask. But your mother yelled at me, saying that I was sorry for her, that I didn't trust her. ”

"And then?" After saying these four words, Gu Chongyang found that his voice was choked and trembling.

"Later, your second aunt handed me the witness and the certificate of Mama Wu's personal fingerprint, and your mother admitted her mistake and knelt down and cried and begged me to forgive her."

Gu Chongyang's tears burst out of her eyes, tears clouded her eyes, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

"Mother, did she admit it herself?"

The fourth master nodded: "Yes." ”

"And who is the adulterer?"

The fourth old man paused, and said, "It's your mother's nursing brother Wu Dacheng." ”

Gu Chongyang only felt a kind of heartache: "Is what you said true?" ”

"Of course it's true." The fourth old man sighed: "I always thought that you were a child and didn't want to sue you, but after listening to your words today, I am afraid that you will listen to other people's gossip and think wildly." I have no choice but to tell you the truth. I know you're hard to accept, so why shouldn't I? ”

The fourth master said as he took down a box from the Bogu shelf and took out a note from it: "Look, this is the confession that Mama Wu personally admitted and drew in person." ”

The above is written in the tone of Mama Wu, it is written that Mrs. committed adultery with her son Wu Dacheng and was broken, she was willing to die on behalf of her son, only to leave her son alive.

Gu Chongyang glanced at it, only to feel that her heart was like a knife, and her tears fell down in large pieces.

"Don't cry, it's all over." The fourth master comforted softly: "I will not be angry with you because of your mother's affairs. ”

In the fog of tears, Gu Chongyang raised her head, looking at her father who comforted her in front of her and turned into a loving appearance again, she only felt that her heart was frozen into ice.

She closed her eyes in agony, unwilling to see the face again.

She knew that her mother was framed, but she didn't expect her father to be involved.

After listening to what Wu Dacheng said, she was only skeptical, but now, she can be sure.

My father must have known about my mother's rebellion, and what he said to him today was all a lie.

Mama Wu is illiterate at all! Wu Dacheng is a heavenly cripple who can't do anything!

They're so bad.

forced his mother to death, and designed to arrest Wu Dacheng, and forced Mama Wu to sign and draw a charge. No, as long as they catch Wu Dacheng and force Mama Wu to death, when Mama Wu is dead, they can just take Mama Wu's hand and press the handprint.

Wu Dacheng's escape may have been an accident, or they deliberately let Wu Dacheng go, causing him to abscond in fear of crime, otherwise the second uncle will be suspicious when he sees Wu Dacheng dead, and absconding in fear of crime is obviously only the best result.

They also bribed Mama Qiu and asked Mama Qiu to be a witness.

There are all human and material evidence, and when the uncle comes, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, not only can he not have half a complaint, but he may also be grateful to the Gu family for maintaining his mother's dignity on face, and grateful to the Gu family for letting his mother be buried in the Gu family's cemetery.

Therefore, when my uncle was developed in the previous life, he never embarrassed his father.

Later, because of her, the two families stopped contacting, and my uncle still didn't do anything to my father, I'm afraid it was because my uncle felt that my mother had done this kind of thing and was taken by the Gu family, so I had to back down everywhere, right?

No wonder the uncle in his previous life left in disgrace and didn't fight for himself.

The Shen family is a merchant, and the Hou Mansion of the Gu family is originally a head lower than them in terms of class.

The daughter of the Shen family has done this thing, and the Shen family has no dignity in front of the Gu family, so why should they ask for it again? As long as the Gu family says, "Your Shen family is not upbringing", my uncle can no longer meddle in his own affairs.

She was really annoyed that because of her ignorance, she had lived like a fool in her previous life. I didn't know that my mother was in the Gu family's house like that, and I didn't know how much humiliation my mother had borne before she died.

But why?

Others have a reason and motive for framing their mother, but the father is the mother's husband, why should he deal with his mother like this.

Even if she forced her mother to die, she still deliberately designed the people around her mother to put such a crime on her.

The more Gu Chongyang thought about it, the more cold his teeth felt.

How could he be like this, how could he be worthy of his mother's sincerity towards him?

Before his mother died, he recognized his husband's face, and I am afraid that all thoughts will be ashes, and he will never be able to live again.

Gu Chongyang felt that he was almost unable to live.

She stood there, trembling, eager to question him, to scold him, and even to ask what his heart was made of.

She held back, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to hold back.

The person in front of him will not tell her the truth, and he will never admit that he has deliberately put such a charge on his mother.

She can't be impulsive, and the spur of the moment won't solve anything.

Her head was rumbling, and she didn't know what she was supposed to do now.

"Chongyang, I know I really want you to accept this, I ...... at the beginning"

Up to now, he is still so hypocritical, Gu Chongyang only feels disgusted. She glared at him, pulled her legs and ran out. It was already dark outside, and her small figure was soon in the thick of the night.

She ran to the gate of Rongdong Courtyard in one breath, and when she saw that the people inside were moving the dowry of the fourth lady, she felt very dazzling, and ran back to Haitang Courtyard.

She threw herself on the bed and wept violently.

She felt more and more that it was right not to directly take Wu Dacheng to confront her father face to face.

She suddenly stopped crying.

It turned out that she had been groping, but she didn't know where to start, she could only find people related to her mother, related things, and every time she thought she was going to find the truth, things would take a turn for the worse and catch her off guard.

The reason is because she is looking in the wrong direction.

What she did before was wrong, she should have found out from her father.

Everything has a cause, there is a cause to have an effect, the father will never kill the mother for no reason, something must have happened, what is it?

She had to figure it out.

Gu Tailai is her person, if Gu Tailai is allowed to follow her father, it will be easy to expose and not say anything, and it will even arouse his father's vigilance.

Fortunately, her uncle also left five people for her, and all of those five people knew some kung fu, so it shouldn't be a problem to follow people.

Gu Chongyang sent a message to Gu Tailai on the spot and asked him to contact Sang Wu.

She didn't believe it and couldn't find a reason.

A few days have passed, and there is nothing abnormal on the side of the fourth master, just go to Guanglu Temple as usual, and then go home, occasionally go to a colleague's house to socialize or go to the teahouse to drink tea, there is nothing special.

By the end of November, the dust had settled on the matter of the fourth master's continuation, and it was decided that he would marry Mrs. Ge's niece as his stepwife, and the day of passing through the door would be set on the last day of February of the following year.

Gu Chongyang saw the fourth master more often, because the fourth master always went to Anrong Courtyard to find Mrs. Ge and the eldest lady to discuss marriage, and Gu Chongyang often met him when he was in the morning and dusk.

When the father and daughter met, it was very plain. One curtsied and saluted, and the other nodded solemnly to get her up, as for what the two of them were thinking, only everyone knew it.

Just when Gu Chongyang was secretly anxious, the day after the wedding date was set, there was news from Sang Wu's side.

The news was brought in by Gu Tailai.

"Miss, the fourth master has bought a house outside."

When Gu Chongyang heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Guanglu Temple is the Qingshui Yamen, where does he have the money to buy a house?" It's not my mother's money yet. What did he do when he bought a house? Give Ge Bilian a dowry, so that Ge Bilian has a light on her face? ”

When my mother married into the Gu family, there were sixty-six dowries. is not far behind the eldest lady Hao.

And the Ge family is just a noble who is not in the stream, although it has a hereditary name, it has actually declined a long time ago. If it weren't for Mrs. Ge's frequent help, their lives would probably be worse than those of ordinary merchants.

Ge Bilian is beautiful, the Ge family thinks she is a strange commodity to live in, and has always wanted Ge Bilian to marry into a first-class noble family, just like the old lady Ge of the Gu family, who can help the Ge family.

And Ge Bilian herself also has the intention of flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, and her vision is not ordinarily high.

It's a pity that those wealthy nobles are all human spirits, Ge Bilian has an empty appearance, but she has no family background, and she can't get into the eyes of others at all. Ordinary people, Ge Bilian can't look down on them. One or two came and went, delaying the youth, and now he is twenty or two, and he has not yet married.

In her last life, she overheard that her father loved Ge Bilian very much, and did not hesitate to spend money to buy a dowry for Ge Bilian.

That's why Gu Chongyang asked this question.

"It's not." Gu Tailai whispered: "That house was not purchased recently, I heard that it has been some years. There is a mother and daughter living in the house. The mother is a young lady about thirty years old, and her daughter is only eleven or twelve years old. ”

"Sang Wu inquired about the news that the male owner of the family rarely comes back, and it is usually the lady who lives with the daughter, the door is closed, and she rarely goes out, and every daily necessities are purchased by a mother-in-law."

Gu Tailai paused and said, "After the fourth master came out of Guanglu Temple yesterday, he went directly to that family, and he didn't come out until the second half of the night. ”

Gu Chongyang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Although many things that had happened recently were something she couldn't have imagined, and although she guessed that her father must have done a lot of things she didn't know, she never expected that Sang Wu would bring her such shocking news.

In the past and present lives combined, her father has an indifferent side, a warm side, and many times she is very sad and disappointed, but in her memory, her father has never been a lustful person.

He is clean and self-conscious, there is no concubine, and after his mother died, only Ge Bilian was alone.

But Gu Tai's words told her a fact, her father obviously raised an outer room outside.

not only raised an outer room, but even gave birth to a daughter who was about the same age as himself.

She couldn't believe it, but she had to believe it, because after her mother's death, the two faces of her father made her secretly frightened.

When my mother was alive, my father was elegant and mature, treated him amiably, and had a deep affection for my mother. Less than a year after his mother's death, he greeted the newlyweds with joy, showing no concern for her as a daughter, and even feeling very impatient to speak.

People's character is relatively fixed, except for being stimulated and changing temperament, people's character will not change in such a way.

Unless he's been pretending before, and now he's slowly removing his disguise and revealing his true colors.

She may have mistaken her father.

Gentle and amiable is just his appearance. And the one who was indifferent, disgusted and even disgusted with her in the previous life is his true face.

Danxin looked at each other with Lu Wu and Qing Zhi, and they were also stunned by the news.

Lu Wu said dryly: "Miss, don't be sad, maybe there is something hidden here." ”

"There's nothing hidden." A trace of anger flashed at the corner of Gu Chongyang's mouth: "How could a woman from a good family leave a strange man overnight?" Either the lady is a secret prostitute with a half-hidden door, or she has an unclear relationship with the fourth master. The woman's door was closed, she never went out, it couldn't be a secret prostitute, she must be the outer room of the fourth master. ”

"Gu Tailai, am I right?"

As everyone's beautiful daughter, Gu Chongyang said the words "secret prostitution, outer room" with one mouth, which made Gu Tailai embarrassed.

Because the young lady was young and grew up in the inner house, Gu Tailai originally thought that she probably didn't know what the outer room was, but she couldn't explain it, but she didn't expect Gu Chongyang to be so transparent, and she guessed it at once.

"Yes." He wiped the sweat on his forehead: "You are right, that lady is indeed the outer room of the fourth master." What's next? Do you want to write a letter to your uncle and ask them to come to the capital to administer justice? ”

"That's a good way." Qing Zhi stepped forward and said indignantly: "The daughters of the outer room are about the same age as you, which means that the fourth master may have started to do sorry for the lady and sorry for you more than ten years ago, and the old lady and the eldest lady will definitely not help us." Miss, only your uncle can help you uphold justice, so write to your uncle quickly. ”

Qingzhi's mother is a big house, because she gave birth to a daughter, so she was kicked out, and finally died of illness, and Qingzhi lived in her aunt's house.

The fact that the fourth master raised the outer room reminded her of her father, so she was extremely angry.

Lu Wu tugged at her sleeve, shook her head and said, "We have no evidence, and we haven't caught the handle of the fourth master being with that person." Even if you catch it, what can you do? Not only can't the problem be solved, but the fourth master will take this opportunity to bring the outer room to the house in a bright and bright way, when the time comes, what should the young lady do? ”

"That can't let that woman get away outside!" Qing Zhi was so angry that she stomped her feet: "The fourth master is really too much, it hasn't been a year since his wife died, how could he do such a thing, it's really chilling." ”

"Don't say it, let Miss think about it."

They expressed their opinions, and Gu Chongyang never spoke.

In fact, like Qingzhi, she felt that the fourth master's approach was chilling. How can he have the money to support the outer room, and it is not his mother's dowry? How can it not be angry to take the mother's money, but to do something sorry for her behind her mother's back.

No one knows better than she how disgusting it is to be in the outer room. Although she was reborn, she never forgot the scene of Chai Xiyue entering the door with a big belly in her previous life.

But at this moment, what she was thinking about was a lawsuit she heard in her previous life that shocked the entire capital.

There is a county magistrate in Zhejiang who raised a concubine outside, because he was afraid of Mrs. Yu's tiger power, he didn't dare to take it home, so he only secretly bought a mansion to raise outside. Because the county order is usually afraid of the inside, and is very careful, the wife has not found out.

Later, the county order was promoted, and he wanted to go to other places to take office, so that the original wife stayed at home with the children to serve his parents, and he took the outer room to take office. After taking office, everyone used the outer room as the main wife.

Later, the outer room became more and more satisfactory, and she actually killed the original partner with her husband, and she became the head lady. The children born of the original spouse almost never died at the hands of the outer chamber, and it was very pitiful.

Later, after the son of the original match, Hanzhuang studied hard and won the Jinshi, the first thing he did was to sue his father and mother-in-law in court. The son sues the father, whether it is right or wrong, and he must be punished with fifty boards in the courtroom. The son of the original partner received fifty boards for his birth, in order to seek justice for his deceased mother.

This incident was a household name at the time, and on the day of the opening of the trial, Shuntianfu was crowded and impassable, and it was all people who went to watch.

Could it be that my father is the same as this county ordinance, so he murdered his mother in order to make room for the outer room?

This possibility cannot be ruled out.

But she had no more evidence.

What happened nearly a year ago told her, don't trust anyone, don't trust anything. Until we have conclusive evidence, we must not draw conclusions lightly.

She thought about it for a while, and said to Gu Tai: "Don't rush to tell Uncle SΓΉ now, you must be completely sure of this matter." You sue Sangwu and let him continue to stare at the fourth master, and at the same time arrange for someone to keep an eye on the outer room. Also, try to get a word from the servant in the outer chamber. We have so little information at the moment, and I have to know more. ”

In just half a year, the young lady has grown from a panicked little girl to a calm and self-contained person in front of her, which is really impressive.

The speed of the young lady's growth is much faster than his.

Gu Tailai glanced at Gu Chongyang with admiration and said, "I'll go now." ”

Just when Gu Chongyang was monitoring the fourth master's every move, something big and small happened in the Gu family.

That is, Gu Chongzhi, the third lady of the Gu family, is sick.

At first it was just mental burnout and a weakened diet.

Because the third lady Gu Chongzhi has always been delicate and a concubine who is not taken seriously, everyone did not take it to heart when she was sick this time.

The maid in the lilac courtyard saw that her young lady's health was getting worse and worse, so she hurriedly informed the second lady Fei.

Unexpectedly, the second lady not only did not ask the doctor to take care of her body, but also reprimanded the maid in her yard fiercely: "The third lady is not in good health, it is a paper paste body, and if it is not good, she will get sick." I said a long time ago that you must be attentive to take care of Miss, but you always don't listen. The young lady is not sick at all, it is obvious that you are not taking care of it carefully. I'll say it again today, if there's a good lady in the world, I'll skin you first. ”

The third lady saw that it was hopeless to invite a doctor, so she could only endure it by herself.

After five or six days like this, the third lady Gu Chongzhi didn't even have the strength to get up and say hello to the second lady.
