Peng is a very decisive person, she didn't hesitate for too long, and waited outside the second gate to see Gu Qingwan again the next day.
When Gui Ye talked back, he saw that Gu Qingwan didn't raise her eyebrows, so she smiled and said, "Otherwise, the slave maid will go and let Hongjin send her away, and let her dry it first." ”
Gu Qingwan nodded happily.
After a delay of half a month, Peng's waited outside the second gate every other day to ask for a meeting. She was originally working in the outer courtyard, and she couldn't enter the second gate without permission, so she could only ask the little maids in Wanjuan Hall to talk. Gu Qingwan saw that the heat was almost over, so she asked Fuman to bring the Peng family in.
After half a month, Peng's was a lot haggard, and now he was bruised, and he must have been unable to sleep and eat during this time.
She finally saw Gu Qingwan, and naturally she didn't dare to mention the previous calculation, so she knelt down and kowtowed honestly, and then said: "The slave and maid know that they have disturbed the purity of the princess, but there is something about the slave's mother-in-law. The slave maid had something to report to the princess, but it was just the slave's speculation, but the matter was very important, and the slave and maid did not dare to hide it. ”
Gu Qingwan raised her eyebrows, and when she saw that the Peng family had the courage to look at herself, she smiled and said, "Listen to Guiye, you have asked to see me many times, I want to hear it, what is so important." ”
Peng Shi kowtowed again, and only said slowly after a while: "The matter that the slave maid wants to say is related to the second lady, but I only faintly learned a few words from the slave's mother-in-law before, and I made some guesses. It's just that the slave maid is stupid, and she is afraid that she wants to be left, so she doesn't dare to report to the princess. Now that my mother-in-law is dead in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, the slave maid is ......"
Before she could speak, Gu Qingwan became impatient, and directly interrupted her: "If you have something to say, just say it." What do you do around so many bends? ”
Peng thought that this princess was really a rectum like before, so he didn't dare to excuse himself anymore, and said tremblingly: "The slave maid heard my mother-in-law mention it in private. The fifth girl and the fourth master were born at full term, and even if they were not full-term, they were at least nine months pregnant. ”
Gu Qingwan's hand clenched the armrest on the chair.
Mama Ji dared to open her mouth, and Xiao Sun's was not at ease and killed the killer, which shows that what she wants to cover up must be a big secret. If it weren't for Gu Qingwan's preparations, she would have been so shocked by Peng's words that she would have stood up from her chair.
She knew how Xiao Sun's entered the door back then, and He's filial piety had just passed. Xiao Sun's hind feet were carried into the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, which undoubtedly slapped the He family in the face. Gu Qingwan felt a little strange when she knew about this matter, and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was too anxious.
But at that time, she didn't think about it deeply, she only thought that Old Madam Gu wanted to take this opportunity to vent her bad anger, after all, the daughter-in-law of the He family was not chosen by Old Madam Gu.
But if Gu Mingli and Xiao Sun's beads are secretly knotted. There is a plausible explanation for all this. She remembered that Gu Qingyan and Gu Cunzhang were both born prematurely, and because they were twins, they were only seven months pregnant, so they naturally wouldn't arouse the suspicion of others.
If Xiao Sun's was full-term or nine months pregnant, then before He passed away, Gu Mingli and Xiao Sun would have something to do.
Gu Qingwan's expression couldn't help but cool down when she thought of this. Those who can ignore their original dowry subsidies to fill in the house, and condone the house-filling and mistreat the children of the original match, still know what etiquette, righteousness and shame are. It's just that she didn't expect that Gu Mingli and Xiao Sun would do it like this.
Compared to Xiao Sun's. Gu Qingwan actually looked down on Gu Mingli even more, after all, Xiao Sun's family had no blood relationship with the third girl and Gu Cunke, and treating them harshly could only say that Xiao Sun's person was not tolerant, but Gu Mingli was their biological father, and he was so ruthless.
Sure enough, behind every vicious stepmother, there is always such a scumbag!
Giving birth to a child in this era is to walk around from the ghost gate, and when I think of He's desperate efforts to give birth to Gu Cunke. Gu Mingli and Xiao Sun were still in the same place, and Gu Qingwan felt that there was a fire as if it was about to surge. Although she doesn't look down on Gu Mingli, she doesn't have such deep feelings for the He family, and now this kind of emotion is afraid that it belongs to some obsessions of the third girl.
Gu Qingwan sighed uncheckably, and then raised her head to stare at Peng, but her tone was much softer than before: "This is not a trivial matter, but what evidence do you have?" ”
The princess really still hated the second lady as much as before, and thinking of what Fuman said in the garden, Peng's face was full of light again. Just hearing Gu Qingwan say "evidence", she hung her head like a frosted eggplant.
When she was in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, although Mama Ji was raised by her two sons, she mostly lived with her younger son. Peng's was reluctant before, but Mama Ji privately subsidized them with a lot of money, and Peng's slowly endured it.
Peng is a smart person, and after getting along for a long time, she can get a lot of information from Mama Ji's unintentional words on weekdays∪ such as saying that Mama Ji is actually helping Xiao Sun's work, and she has long betrayed the master, for example, Mama Ji actually doesn't look down on Xiao Sun's personality, and so on.
The thing that shocked Peng the most was that Mama Ji didn't know if she came back from the anger of the five girls one day, so she was bored in the room talking alone. Peng felt strange, so he hid under the window and eavesdropped for a while, and Mama Ji scolded and scolded, which made Peng know a little about the situation.
Later, Peng's attention was paid attention to, and Mama Ji's words were inadvertently mentioned, and Peng's faintly knew the truth. Besides, the day before Mama Ji went to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, she still said a lot to herself, although she didn't care much about it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, some of the words have a deep meaning.
But when it comes to evidence, she really doesn't have it. If there was evidence, her mother-in-law would not be so easily killed.
Peng's face was a little embarrassed, and he just wanted to defend himself and ask for some benefits, so he hurriedly said: "The slave maid has no evidence, it's just that the second lady invited the stable woman that time, and the slave maid has some impressions." ”
Gu Qingwan laughed: "You go on." ”
Peng swallowed hard, her eyes rolled, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Back then, the slave maid was still a little maid in the garden, and the stable woman was settled early, and one of the stable women surnamed Huang also said a few words to the slave maid. The slave maid knew that the stable woman was from Qiaoxi, because she was the same villager as the slave maid, so she said a few more words. ”
Peng was about to speak, but Gu Qingwan raised her hand to stop her, and said to Guiye on the side: "Take her down, go open the box and give her a hundred taels of silver." ”
Peng was surprised and delighted, surprised that Gu Qingwan no longer listened to her, and was happy that she had won some silver reward. Just hearing that he got a hundred taels, Peng's face became a little angry.
The eldest family got six hundred taels of silver for nothing, and she said useful news, but it was only one hundred taels, how could her heart be balanced.
Peng kowtowed again, but did not thank him, but said in a panic: "Princess, that stable woman and slave maid are fellow villagers, if the princess wants evidence, she can only find those stable women, and the slave and maid are willing to go to the river for the princess." The slave still vaguely remembers the appearance of the stable woman, and it is much easier to find people. ”
"No need, I'll naturally find a safe person to handle this matter." Gu Qingwan replied coldly, and said, "Your deed of sale is in my hands, but if you want to play tricks on me first, it will naturally outweigh the losses." Okay, you go out, what to say and what not to say, you must know in your heart. ”
What is a temporary reward, if you get the blue eyes of the princess, maybe the descendants will be edified. She said that the Wen Po and her fellow townsmen, why didn't they want to ask for credit in front of the princess and let the princess leave this matter to herself.
But the princess saw her intentions clearly, and was very disgusted with her approach, and Peng only felt cold all over.
Seeing that the Peng family was out of the second door in a daze, Gu Qingwan looked at Gui Ye: "You asked Mother Su to secretly check the stable women who delivered the little Sun family back then, presumably they have all been sent far away now, and it is best to go to their hometown to find out after inquiring." If you can find the best, if you can't find it, you don't have to be strong. ”
Xiao Sun's hurried entry into the door was insisted on by Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu may not have known about the secret knot between the two of them. But it is absolutely impossible for her to use this matter to crush Xiao Sun's family, because not only is it related to Xiao Sun's family, but even Gu Mingli is involved.
Others will not remember who the victim is, but will only remember that Gu Mingli is her biological father. With such a father, he must be implicated in being criticized, that is, Gu Qingwan can't even raise her head in front of people.
Gu Qingwan didn't care, but she had to plan for Gu Cunke.
Not to mention this, she wants to teach Xiao Sun a lesson with a handle, but the old lady Gu and the eldest lady can't pass this level. These two people cherish the face of the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion, and if such a slap in the face is poked out, Gu Qingwan will obviously turn her face with the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion.
She could only use this matter to ask Old Madam Gu and Xiao Sun for interest.
Now that the Rui Mansion and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion are on the same boat as Empress Chen, the situation in the court is becoming more and more tense. Success or failure is only a thought, she gave the Yuanhou Mansion to cause trouble, she can't let Concubine Xian and her party take advantage of the loophole just because she wants to take a breath.
Besides, if you want to teach Xiao Sun a lesson, she must cut off all her retreats at once, and it is too cheap for her to make a small fuss. In the face of absolute power, even unreasonable can fabricate three points of reason, so she has to sit firmly in the position of Princess Rui.
Only when Prince Jing reaches the top, will she, Princess Rui, be worth a lot, except for asking Old Madam Gu for some interest on this matter, she can only endure her anger for a while.
