Gu Yun rushed to the second lady's side, only to find that the imperial doctor was also there, and Tong Mingli had fallen asleep quietly under the effect of acupuncture{To see the latest chapters, please go to:}【Latest chapters to read】
Tong Hanlin was anxious and distressed, seeing Gu Yun coming, he saluted him very formally and thanked him, so panicked that Gu Yun didn't dare to accept this gift, Gu Xu and the second lady also persuaded him, so he sat down and spoke again.
Gu Yun and Gu Xu sat side by side at the bottom of the two elders, Gu Yun originally told Tong Hanlin all the details he knew, Tong Mingli had just learned from his sister about diving to find a short sight, Bai Ke rescued him twice, Tong Hanlin was really grateful for this.
The identity and background of that vicious in-law Gu Yun was curious for a long time, but the Tong family was not his relatives, even if he had a stomach of questions he wanted to ask, he couldn't ask them right now, especially when he saw that Gu Xu was also back, he simply left the housework in the second room to them to deal with by himself, and he said a few words of relief and was ready to leave.
At this time, the people outside came in again to report that Mrs. Tong came, and soon Mrs. Tong, who was in a hurry, entered the main room, didn't care about saluting at all, pounced on Mrs. Gu, took her hand and kept asking how Tong Mingli was.
Everyone saw that Mrs. Tong's relationship was unstable, so they hurriedly persuaded her to calm down, fortunately, her husband came one step earlier, with her husband's comfort, Mrs. Tong's reason finally returned, sat down and listened to Gu Yun connect the process of the two things together and briefly talk about it, before listening to Mrs. Tong, she cried, couldn't sit still anymore, wiped her tears, dragged her husband, and eagerly went to Tong Mingli's room to accompany her daughter in the company of Second Mrs. Gu.
In an instant, only Gu Yun and Gu Xu were left in the main room, Gu Yun was even more lazy to wait for the elders to come back in this room, so he said that he was leaving, dragged Gu Xu to send him out, and reminded him on the way, and asked him to go back to his small courtyard to see his sister-in-law, all kinds of chaos in the house this morning, don't frighten her, a pregnant woman.
Gu Xu hurriedly thanked his younger brother, the two brothers broke up halfway, Gu Xu went back to visit his wife, and Gu Yun went to see his mother and recounted to her the chaotic scene in the second room just now.
While the two were chatting, the girl from Zhongming Courtyard hurried over with a letter, saying that the guards had returned and brought news from Yingtianfu.
Gu Yun hurriedly opened the letter and read the contents of the letter.
The letter didn't write too much nonsense, and directly wrote the result of opening the coffin, as Bai Qiao expected, the token exchanged at the time of engagement was really on the deceased, in addition, the shroud on the deceased was actually a wedding dress, and he was still holding Tong Mingli's tablet with both hands, and the marriage book issued by the government was pressed under the palm, and the date on the marriage book was quite intriguing.
Because the coffin was opened on the spot in the Yamen compound, the onlookers were not only the officials and the relatives who went out of the funeral, but also the idlers who watched the excitement on the street, and the whole capital will know about it tomorrow.
And judging by the expressions and various reactions of the relatives, those young cousins and classmates were eighty percent unaware, and the person who did the funeral and the two elders were the biggest insiders, and before the guards returned to the house, the government had ordered them all to be imprisoned, and the household clerk who had first cancelled his household registration and opened the marriage certificate was also removed from his post on the spot, and he was imprisoned together for interrogation.
After Gu Yun finished reading the letter, he looked at his mother, and the mother and son sighed one after another.
"This news must have been handed to you directly, and no one in the second room must have said it, so you can go over again."
"Yes, I'll go."
Gu Yun took the letter and walked up, and when he entered the main room, he saw that only Gu Xu, who had changed into civilian clothes at home, was drinking tea alone, and he looked strange when he saw Gu Yun coming back.
"Why did you come here again? But what's the latest news? ”
"The results of the coffin opening inspection over there in Yingtianfu." Gu Yun shook the letter in his hand.
"Show me!"
Gu Xu jumped up and took the letter away, unfolded it and read it in ten lines, and angrily threw the letter on the table.
"It's too much! It's too much! It's just too deceitful! ”
"Their family is very strange, how dare civilians without official positions be so arrogant? Who is behind them, does the eldest brother know? ”
"I don't know, the man's family is a big squire who settled in the capital for his son's education, and since he entered the private academy, he has had the most contact with their family as a scholar, and there is no officialdom."
"How did their family and the Tong family know each other?"
Gu Xu shrugged his shoulders and looked like he didn't know.
Gu Yun suddenly felt helpless, resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and had no intention of staying any longer, so it was better to go back and chat with Bai Ko.
The two brothers were talking, and the second lady Gu accompanied her brother and sister-in-law back to the main room from the back, and after the two juniors helped the elders to sit down one after another, Gu Xu told them the news brought by Gu Yun.
Second Mrs. Gu was completely stunned, Tong Hanlin was so angry that her face turned pale and her lips trembled, Mrs. Tong was stunned for a while, and then suddenly howled sharply, and then began to howl and cry, crying until she was hoarse, and she didn't breathe anymore at once, her body was weak and she lost her voice, and she fainted violently, and the person slid from the chair to the ground.
Fortunately, Gu Yun was standing beside the Tong family and his wife, seeing this, he hurriedly helped Mrs. Tong, and with the help of Gu Xu, he carried it on his back, and a group of people hurriedly escorted him to Tong Mingli's room and placed it on the chaise longue under the window.
Gu Yun should not stay in the girl's room for a long time, and he left quickly after putting down Mrs. Tong, Gu Xu followed out, thanked his brother again and again for his help, and then sent him out
Gu Yun returned to his mother again, and learned the latest news, and went to the official office of the Ministry of Rites to bring a message back to the family members who reported to Grandpa Guo, and Grandpa Guo came back from leave in the afternoon, and before he arrived home, he asked his family to keep the Tong family.
It's easy to stay a guest, but Mrs. Tong's fainting is inconvenient to move her until she wakes up.
The eldest lady sent the girl to the east kitchen to say that she would make some light dishes and send them to the second room, especially the meals for the imperial doctor.
Gu Yun ran back and forth between the long room and the second room a few times, he was all tired on his legs, and seeing that he was okay for the time being, he quit his mother and went back to Zhongming Courtyard to rest.
Bai Ko had a holiday, and the lunch was naturally cooked by the girls, Gu Yun ate a few bites indiscriminately, then went back to the room for a lunch break, fell asleep in a daze, and was woken up by Feihua and Miao'er, and the eldest man returned home.
Gu Yun got dressed and went out, and saw that Bai Qiao was already dressed and waiting for him, she was the party to the two things, so she naturally had to explain everything in detail in front of the eldest master.
The two walked into the main room of Jicheng Hall one after the other, and the eldest man had also finished changing his clothes and was waiting for them.
Bai Ko began to talk about the gossip she heard on the street in the workshop, bit by bit, and no detail was missed.
At the beginning, when the eldest lord learned of the news from his family at the official office, he only knew about the funeral, and when he returned home, he knew that there was a paragraph behind, plus the results of the opening of the coffin in Yingtianfu, the eldest lord was also furious, and after listening to Bai Ko's details, he asked the girl to go to the second room to invite Tong Hanlin to the main hall of the front yard to chat.
Tong Hanlin, who was upset at noon, heard that Ye Guogong was back, invited him to speak, and immediately entrusted his wife and daughter to his sister to take care of, and he immediately followed the girl to the front yard main hall.
The men were talking in the main hall, and Bai Ko naturally couldn't listen, anyway, she knew that she would relay it to her when Shizi came back, so she leisurely went to the small kitchen to have a late lunch, and went back to her room to continue to rest.
