Chapter 172: Bonding
Add more, ask for pink.
β¦β¦
It was late at night, but Mrs. Ji's yard was still brightly lit.
Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji were sitting on the couch, and on the two chairs next to the bed, Ji Xiaotang and Third Master Ji sat respectively.
"When my mother, my father, and my uncle looked at the old lady, I gave the order. No one is allowed to talk about immortality. At that time, I didn't have time to ask my mother, father and uncle. Ji Xiaotang was talking.
"Xiaotang handled it like this." Second Master Ji nodded.
This kind of thing really can't be publicized to the outside world.
"What do you say about Peony's death?" Master Ji San asked. Although she is a girl, if she dies, she has to report to the government, and she can only be buried after the case is prepared by the government.
"Let's just say that I had to die of a sudden illness." Second Master Ji said, "Early tomorrow morning, you will send a steward to handle this matter." β
It was said that it would be tomorrow, but now it was past midnight, and there were only a few hours before dawn.
Peony's body has been carried out of the house, and when the affairs of the yamen are done at dawn, it will be thrown into the mass grave and buried.
"The abominable scumbag has a whole corpse." Master Ji San hated the authentic way.
If someone like Peony plots to kill his master, he will be sent to the yamen, and the lightest one will be cut in two.
"A is an abomination, but a knife in someone else's hand." Ji Er said.
Speaking of the person who instructed the peony behind him, everyone almost identified one person in their hearts.
Who can command the peonies? Except for Mrs. Ji, there is only one person.
Jiang Qingshan.
The peony people have big hearts. A heart is tied to Jiang Qingshan's body, and he always wants to marry and become the eldest wife of the Jiang family. This matter was originally concealed by Peony herself. But slowly, the tracks were revealed.
Peony's thoughts about Jiang Qingshan, Ji Xiaotang knows very well because of his experience in his previous life. After her reminder, Mrs. Ji Er also found out. So at this moment, everyone thought of Jiang Qingshan about who instructed the peony.
"I will never give up with him for this killing!" Mrs. Ji said.
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry, we will never let him go." Master Ji San immediately said.
"Hateful, Peony died without saying anything. There is also Gu Lei'er...... "Ji Er, Mrs. Ji rarely gritted her teeth like this." But the assassination of Changsheng really touched her bottom line.
Speaking of Peony and Gu Lei'er, everyone naturally thought of Mrs. Ji again.
"It's in the way of the old lady today. Let him go back first. Tomorrow, I'll have the idea to lure him out. I don't believe it, he's not afraid of death! Master Ji San sneered.
"Gu Lei'er decided that we wouldn't do anything to him, but I'm afraid this method won't work." Ji Xiaotang said. Especially after Mrs. Ji came forward to defend Gu Lei'er.
"And let him go like that?"
"Gu Lei'er has always been timid. He dared to do this, on the one hand, because of his grandmother. Grandmother won't let anything happen to the only root of the Gu family. On the other hand, it should be Jiang Qingshan who gave him some benefits. Ji Xiaotang said.
"What benefits does Jiang Qingshan promise to give him, which we can't give him?" Ji Er said.
β¦β¦
At the same time, the tobacco bag alley Gu house
"You bastard, you say, did Jiang Qingshan instruct you?" Uncle Gu was holding a broken stick in his hand, and he was asking Gu Lei'er with bare eyebrows.
Gu Lei'er received a few sticks. Now he is kneeling on the ground. In order to protect Gu Lei'er, the Jiang family pounced on Gu Lei'er's body.
Gu Xue'er stood afar aside. He just watched quietly, and did not say a word.
"No, it's not." Gu Lei'er hid in Jiang's arms, but denied it repeatedly.
"You bastard, what good did he give you, you protect him like this. I ask you, and you still won't say! It seems that there is still not enough fighting! Uncle Gu was carrying a stick, and he was about to hit Gu Lei'er again.
Gu Lei'er was trembling, and arched into Jiang's arms again.
The Jiang family felt sorry for his son, and while protecting Gu Lei'er, he raised his head and quarreled with Uncle Gu.
"We all have such a son, and it will all depend on him for the rest of the pension. You are in such a hurry that you have a white face, you have killed him, who are you leaning back on! You want to kill your son for someone else's business, are you stupid?!"
"What's for someone else's business, that's our business." Uncle Gu said angrily, "Eldest Sister Fang Cai won't even show me face, let me get out of here, don't go to the door of Ji's house again." What else do you say about the end of the pension, we will not be able to live now. β
"You little brute, you're not telling the truth!" Uncle Gu asked Gu Lei'er with a stick again, "You have hurt me a lot, do you know?" Your aunt suspects that I want to harm immortality! β
Gu Lei'er still bit the words he said in front of Old Lady Ji. Even if Mrs. Ji was suspicious of Uncle Gu, she didn't care what Uncle Gu was doing, and she protected him. There's something terrible about that.
Uncle Gu was so angry that he raised his stick and hit it, and it landed on Jiang's back.
Jiang screamed.
"You fight, don't kill him, you kill me clean. You also have money now, you killed us, flattered your eldest sister, you marry a little one, and it will save our mother and son from being an eyesore in front of you. Jiang wailed.
Although Uncle Gu is in charge, if the Jiang family really sprinkles, he will be a little helpless.
"Why don't you understand. Tell me the truth, can I still go to Ji's house to sue sΓΉ! I'm the one who doesn't know how to get in and out! β
Jiang looked at Uncle Gu and seemed to think that Uncle Gu was telling the truth, so he hurriedly pulled Gu Lei'er out of his arms.
"Lei'er, you told your father and mother the truth."
"Yes." Uncle Gu also nodded, "What a big deal this is, you name it, and our family can discuss it." β
Gu Lei'er's eyes were shaken for a moment, but when he thought of Wang Xing'er, he quickly made a decision.
Naturally, the truth can't be told to Uncle Gu and the Jiang family, because Wang Xing'er is involved. Uncle Gu and the Jiang family did not allow him to associate with Wang Xing'er, let alone promise him to raise Wang Xing'er as a foreign house from now on.
The only one who can do this for him is Jiang Qingshan.
This is also the reason why in the Ji Mansion just now, Ji Xiaotang, Ji Er and others promised so much, but he refused to say Jiang Qingshan.
Moreover, what kind of temperament Uncle Gu and Jiang are, Gu Leier also knows very well.
When he told the truth, his father and mother would not go to the Ji family to tell it, but they would go to Jiang Qingshan. They will not hand over Jiang Qingshan to the Ji family, but they will use this matter as a handle to blackmail Jiang Qingshan.
At that time, the ones who benefited from Jiang Qingshan were Uncle Gu and the Jiang family, where could it be his turn.
Thinking like this in her heart, Gu Lei'er became more and more determined not to say anything about Jiang Qingshan.
Uncle Gu and the Jiang clan saw that Gu Lei'er still insisted on what they said earlier, and the two exchanged glances.
Uncle Gu was still a little puzzled, so the Jiang family believed Gu Lei'er's words.
"You tighten my skin a little and let me know that you broke your leg if you didn't tell the truth!" Uncle Gu had no choice for a while, so he said viciously to Gu Lei'er.
That being said, Gu Lei'er is his son after all.
"These days, you're just staying at home. The brothers of the Ji family can't do anything to you on the surface, who knows if they will do it behind their backs. I look at the third child like that, as if he is going to eat you. β¦β¦ These days, I don't go anywhere, just stay at home to watch over you. Either way, they'll have to give me some thin noodles. β
ββ¦β¦ When things are lightened, the eldest sister will have to work harder, and I can't say that I have to move out the old lady and the old lady underground......" Uncle Gu sighed.
β¦β¦
"Perhaps, Gu Lei'er has some handle for Jiang Qingshan to take!" Master Ji San followed Ji Xiaotang's words and said, "Anyway, this matter is on me, and I will go and get Gu Lei'er tomorrow." β
"Uncle, no." Ji Xiaotang waved his hand gently.
"Why?" Master Ji San was puzzled.
"This matter, depending on me, can only be put down temporarily." Ji Xiaotang said.
Everyone was puzzled, especially Mrs. Ji.
"Xiaotang!"
"Mother, listen to me first. I can't wait to find out the people who harmed immortality right now and break them into pieces, but we can't do this for the time being, so we can only loosen it on the outside and tighten it on the inside. β
When Ji Xiaotang spoke, Mrs. Ji was a little more patient.
The man behind him borrowed Gu Lei'er's hand to extinguish Peony's mouth. The reason why he chose Gu Leier was entirely because of Gu Leier's identity. β
Gu Leier is Mrs. Ji's maiden nephew, so it is convenient to start. At the same time, choosing Gu Leier to do this can also make the Ji family's house restless and the family discordant.
"The old lady was sick twice in one day, and if the uncle continued to pursue it, the old lady would lose most of her life. For the sake of the Gu family, the old lady is afraid that she will be willing to do anything. β
Ji Xiaotang's voice landed, and the room immediately fell silent.
This is something that everyone here has thought about, but no one wants to face it.
"On one side is Gu Lei'er, and on the other side is Changsheng, I don't believe that the old lady will choose Gu Lei'er!" After being silent for a long time, Master Ji San said first.
Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji didn't speak.
Master Ji San knew that no matter what, what Mrs. Ji did today had drawn a chasm between herself, Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji.
The separation of mother and child is almost a doomed thing.
"I'll go and persuade the old lady." Master Ji San was about to get up.
"Uncle, don't worry." Ji Xiaotang stopped Master Ji San, "Uncle going to persuade now, it's tantamount to adding fuel to the fire." In this matter, we must pay special attention to strategy. β
"I also believe that the old lady will eventually choose immortality." Ji Xiaotang first appeased Master Ji San, and then continued, "But the current situation is that Changsheng is fine, and the old lady thinks that it is Gu Lei'er who is in danger." β
"It's clearly not like that." Master Ji San said.
"But the old lady won't be able to see clearly for a while."
Ji Xiaotang's words were irrefutable to everyone.
"No matter what, our family must be harmonious, and nothing can happen to anyone." Ji Xiaotang said, in short, he just can't smooth the heart of the person behind him.
"Old lady, leave it to me this time." Waiting for everyone to nod, Ji Xiaotang said again. (To be continued......)
