Old Madam Gu didn't dare to stay in Jingguo Temple for long, and after seeing Xie Ziran and Zheng Rui come back, she didn't have time to say a word to Gu Qingwan, so she asked the maids and daughters-in-law to pack up their things and prepare to go back.

Xie Ziran and Zheng Rui went back to the city first, but Gu Qingwan acted as if nothing had happened, and when Old Madam Gu went to see the two in the side hall, she respectfully went to the apse to put on a stick of incense, and then followed Old Madam Gu back to the city.

Although the eldest lady sent a lot of people over, the old lady Gu didn't dare to let Gu Qingwan be left alone, leaving Yupan alone to serve in the carriage. The carriage for this trip was not very spacious, and it was naturally a little crowded for four people to sit in one.

Of course, Gu Qingyan would not miss this opportunity, and on the way back to the city, she was asking Gu Qingwan what happened after the carriage went out of control. Seeing that Old Madam Gu was also waiting, Gu Qingwan briefly explained the matter.

Gu Qingyan saw that her rhetoric was the same as Xie Ziran's, and she was a little dissatisfied with her description, so she asked tentatively: "Then meet Xie ...... Before Gongzi and Rui Wangye, what did the third sister encounter? As he spoke, his eyes slipped around Gu Qingwan's newly changed clothes, and his expression was very worried, "Something happened to the third sister, my grandmother and I were in a hurry, Gongzi Xie and Lord Rui said a few words and left, we are still in the clouds." ”

Although she said this, Gu Qingyan's hand in her sleeve slowly tightened.

Although the Liguo Mansion and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion are world friends, and Prince Rui will soon be the son-in-law of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but the old lady Gu did not let Gu Qingyan follow her into the side hall, but just asked her to wait in the compartment.

The walls of Jingguo Temple are not heavy, and the people in the side hall do not deliberately restrain their voices. Gu Qingyan naturally heard it clearly.

Previously, for Gu Qingwan's matter, Gu Qingyan had spoken to Xie Ziran in private, of course, when Xie Ziran mentioned Gu Qingwan, her tone was obviously disgusted. But now when it comes to Gu Qingwan again. Gone is that sense of rejection.

Although Gu Qingyan didn't know what happened when she thanked Ziran and sent Gu Qingwan back, she felt very uncomfortable.

Gu Qingwan didn't know Gu Qingyan's thoughts, but she couldn't guess it. She was already frightened today. Besides, this matter is not easy to deal with, I am afraid that the period of time before she leaves the cabinet will not be peaceful.

Originally, there was only one round trip between the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and Jingguo Temple today, Gu Qingwan didn't bring spare clothes before going out, but Guiye was careful, and she still packed a set before going out. Otherwise, if you don't know whose clothes to change at this time, you will be cowardly.

"It's rare that the fifth sister cares about me so much." Gu Qingwan glanced at Gu Qingyan with a smile, and then said. "The crazy horse carried me around for a long time, and when Chen Liu saw that he was about to reach the cliff, he came up with the idea to let me jump down, and then the peach branch broke his foot when he jumped down. We should have been lucky enough to walk around the West Mountain for a while. I actually met Lord Rui who went to the West Mountain, and I finally got out of danger. ”

After saying that, Gu Qingwan looked at Old Madam Gu again, and said softly: "It's a pity that Chen Liu, I'm afraid that there will be less luck." ”

As he spoke, his eyes were a little red.

Old Madam Gu turned the rosary in her hand and recited a word of Buddha: "Chen Liu is a loyal lord, our house has always treated his subordinates well, so he will naturally treat his family well." After that, he turned his head to the jade pan on the side and said, "After returning home, remember to remind me of this matter, if it is a child born in the family, let go of the slave status of his son." ”

Yupan nodded, and hurriedly said, "The old lady is merciful." ”

Old Madam Gu smiled and didn't speak.

Gu Qingwan originally wanted Old Madam Gu to send someone to the bottom of the cliff to find Chen Liu's body, but after thinking about it, I am afraid that it is safer to tell the eldest lady about this matter∠ After all, Old Madam Gu has not taken care of anything for a long time. Today's dignity and decency are only because of the filial piety of the Marquis of Dingyuan and the eldest lady.

Besides, Xie Ziran thought that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, and the Marquis of Dingyuan and the eldest lady naturally thought of it, and most of them would ask her about the situation, and they would also go to the bottom of the cliff to look for clues. When the time comes, she begged the eldest lady to bring Chen Liu's body back.

The people here all talk about going into the soil for safety, Chen Liu saved her, but there is not much she can do for Chen Liu∠ After all, there is nothing more precious than life.

Sure enough, after returning home, the days jumped up.

Old Madam Gu and the eldest lady unanimously advocated that this matter should not be publicized, so the accompanying maids and servants all sternly warned and forbidden. But in the end, the wives and girls who can't hide a few rooms, there have always been one or two people visiting in Yuanxiang Pavilion every day in the past half a month, which makes Gu Qingwan very annoyed.

After Gu Qingwan came back from Jingguo Temple, she closed her door, and was even more silent and low-key than before, the eldest lady thought that she was frightened, so she waited for a day to please, and then came to Yuanxiang Pavilion to ask about the situation in person.

The eldest lady naturally thought much more complicated than her, and interrogated her in detail, if it weren't for Gu Qingwan's inference that she was not in good spirits, she was afraid that she would have to stay for a long time.

Of course, it is not for nothing that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Huaiwang Mansion treat this matter so cautiously. Old Madam Gu and her entourage came back from Jingguo Temple, and on the second day, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion sent people to look for the wreckage of the carriage and Chen Liu's bones under the cliff.

Listening to the meaning of the eldest lady's words, the head under the cliff was very messy, except for a deep pool of grass and trees. Starting from the place where the cliff fell, the entire valley was searched, and even the deep water pool also allowed people to dive, but the wreckage of the carriage and Chen Liu's body could not be found.

Even if there were wild beasts under the cliff, and the bones of the horses and Chen Liu were eaten overnight, it was impossible not to find even a fragment of the carriage.

The Marquis of Dingyuan Mansion just wanted to see from the wreckage of the carriage and the horses whether the accident was thought to be an accident or not, but now there is no clue to be found, and it can only look for clues from Gu Qingwan's narrative. But Gu Qingwan was also scared at that time, how could she know more about the Dao, so it was also in vain.

The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Huai Wangfu suspected that it was the hand of the Duke Ke or the Duke of Yu, after all, Empress Chen's side had only secretly approached the Huai Mansion before, but once they were married, it was a relationship between the branches and leaves. I just sent people to keep an eye on it for half a month, and I didn't see any other actions from these two palaces.

General Zhenwei, the grandfather of Prince Yu, was far away in southern Xinjiang, and even the grandfather of Prince Ke did not make much movement.

In this way, until a few days before Gu Qingwan left the pavilion, there was still no clue about this matter, but it did not affect the wedding.

Even if the family affairs are decided in a hurry, the "three books and six ceremonies" are not bad, and none of the cumbersome procedures have been left behind. The decree of marriage is from now on, and the first two lifts of the dowry are given by the palace. Frankly speaking, the dowry of the Rui Wangfu is not much, but because of the rewards in the palace, it is not too much to give more dowry to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

A few days before leaving the pavilion is a day for relatives and friends to add makeup, although the girls of the Gu family do not wait to see Gu Qingwan on weekdays, they can show their sisterly love in front of Mrs. Gu, but they are not tired of it.

The third girl didn't have a best friend in the boudoir, and Gu Qingwan didn't feel strange that there were no outsiders to add makeup. Xie Ningxin, the sixth girl from the Liguo Mansion, came to add makeup, she was already surprised, but she didn't expect that Ke Yahe, the sister of the big horse, also came to add makeup.

However, both of them sent the grandmother of the family over, and she also overheard what the eldest lady said, Xie Ningxin and Ke Yahe were married not long ago, although I don't know when the big wedding will be, I am afraid that it will be out of the cabinet in the next two years.

Coming and going, Gu Qingwan secretly wrote down this matter, and put it aside for the time being.

The people who came and went to add makeup also made Yuanxiang Pavilion lively for two days, and the day before leaving the pavilion, Guan also came to Dingyuan Hou's Mansion on purpose. In addition to coming to see Gu Qingwan's most embarrassing dowry list, he personally sent the makeup gift left by Mrs. He before her death to Gu Qingwan.

Mrs. He's private room was divided into three, and what she left Gu Qingwan was naturally not just a mansion and some jewelry.

Gu Qingwan hesitated for a while, and finally accepted it. Mrs. He was thinking about her grandson before she died, she couldn't live up to this heart, but she was ashamed to keep it, so she planned to hand it over to Gu Cunke in the future.

Old Madam Gu is still there, and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is only divided into property and not family, but when Gu Cunyu attacks the lord, the separation of several rooms will become a foregone conclusion. Xiao Sun's family is still there, with Gu Mingli's eccentric temperament, even if Gu Cunke is the original concubine, how much property can be left in his hands on the surface?

Gu Qingwan had some calculations, but she felt that now was not the time.

Because of the matter of the He family's dowry, Gu Qingwan and Xiao Sun's torn their faces, and Xiao Sun's is not good to lick his face and dangle in front of Gu Qingwan now, and after sitting in the Yuanxiang Pavilion for a while, he left in a hurry.

The Xue family and the eldest lady talked to Gu Qingwan for a long time, and before the eldest lady left, Gu Qingwan made a temporary request and asked the eldest lady if she could give Mama Ji's family to herself as a companion.

The eldest lady was a little surprised, and it was discussed a few months ago which families to let be the companions. The eldest lady knew that Mama Ji was Gu Qingwan's nurse, and at that time she wondered why Gu Qingwan didn't mention Mama Ji, but she didn't ask much, she couldn't have imagined that Gu Qingwan had such a request until now.

It's just that she can't afford to get along with Gu Qingwan for the sake of her family, and besides, Gu Qingwan doesn't have many companions, so she nodded and agreed. It's just that the second door is locked at this time, and she can't inform Mama Ji in advance, so she can only wait for tomorrow to let her simply clean up.

The eldest lady has always been very neat, and she just left for an hour, so she sent a light rain to send all the deeds of Mama Ji's family over.

Gu Qingwan turned around and handed the deed to Gui Ye, and told her to lock it up, and then rested.

Thinking of the day she first came here, it has only been more than a year since she left the cabinet, but it seems like a long dream that she can't wake up from. She tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, only to feel that she had just squinted for a while, and then she was called up by Guiye.
