"Mom, don't worry, I don't have any bad intentions."

Xiao Gu blinked his dark eyes and said with a slight smile: "Mother Qin, the flaws you made by killing people are still being smoothed out for you." ”

Mother Qin's face turned even paler - she remembered the terrifying middle of the night when she killed and cooked corpses, and the person who was like a ghost attached to her and blew up behind her, her body trembled, "I didn't find any wooden box you wanted......"

"Have you searched through all of Mrs. Zhang's belongings? What did she leave for Miss Ruyao? ”

Xiao Gu asked, Qin's mother shook her head again and again, but then her eyes flashed, and she stopped talking.

Xiao Gu looked at Mother Qin's eyes with sharp and thorough eyes, "The secret hidden in that box is not trivial, and continuing to keep it in my hand will only invite disaster—if you are willing to help me, I will remember this debt to you, and I will repay it in the future." ”

She glanced at Mother Qin's expression, and added, "I will continue to take care of Miss Ruyao for you until she leaves the cabinet smoothly." ”

This sentence hit Qin's mother's heart, and a look of hesitation and struggle flashed in her eyes, Xiao Gu saw this, and hit the railroad while it was hot: "You also know that she is in that deep mansion compound, and she is tempered by the wind, frost and sword day and night, and if she is not careful, she will fall into the trap of the Wang family and others." ”

Mother Qin remembered Wang's cold eyes, couldn't help but shudder, gritted her teeth and made up her mind, and said: "Back then, the eldest lord had no heart at all, and secretly gave Mrs. Zhang's hairpin ring to the concubine within March. ”

She simply took out the dowry list and a bunch of keys at that time and handed them to Xiao Gu, "It's the treasury in the past few years, you can find it yourself, if you don't have it, it's really gone." ”

Xiao Gu turned around to leave, but was grabbed by Qin's mother at the corner of her clothes, and when she turned her head in astonishment, she saw a sadness between her beautiful eyebrows. Revealing two fine lines, "You not only have to keep her safe, but also protect her to marry a good son-in-law safely, and you can't let the wolf-hearted aunt in the second room marry her indiscriminately!" ”

She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "I heard from the little maid that the second master and the slut of the Wang family are discussing the marriage of the three girls, the eldest master is a mediocre person, if Sister Yao falls into their hands, I don't know what dirty people to be sold to!" ”

Xiao Gu felt that this was a bit tricky, "The so-called parents' orders matchmaker words, there are Mrs. Tai and the second room of the big house. How can I intervene to find her a golden beetle son-in-law? ”

"Our Sister Yao has long had a family affair - it was set by Mrs. Zhang when she was alive!"

Mother Qin was full of confidence, "The family that Mrs. Zhang booked is not only noble, but the future uncle is also a dragon and phoenix among people, a first-class talent." ”

Xiao Gu frowned slightly, feeling that this was a bit unreliable, "If there is really such a family business, why does no one in the entire Hou Mansion know about it?" Besides, since it has been ordered, the other party should also come to greet him at three o'clock. How could there be no movement? ”

She said it tactfully, but she estimated in her heart that this marriage probably originally existed, but with the death of Mrs. Zhang. The other party should have remorse, so he simply shrank his head and didn't move.

This family affair is only afraid that it is not as good as Mother Qin thinks!

"No way!"

Mother Qin shook her head suddenly, "That son of the family came to visit Madame." I hid behind the screen and saw it clearly, it was indeed calm and polite, and my eyes were full of righteousness! ”

I don't know my heart...... Xiao Gu secretly wondered in his heart. But it was not easy to say more, but I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Speaking of which, I still don't know which son this future uncle is?" ”

"It's the second son of Yuan Rong, Marquis of Guangping."

What the?!

It's Yuan Jiaerlang Yuan Jin!

Xiao Gu's heart shook violently, and chaotic troubles came to his heart, and he made a mistake and dropped the teacup on the table to the ground!

She suddenly remembered the pair of similar jade pendants, and the eyes in which he stared at her deeply—these jade pendants were a pair, a sign of our engagement in the first place!

But in the blink of an eye, another family affair that was made many years ago popped up!

Yuan Jin, Yuan Jin, how many ladies are you a son and daughter!

Xiao Gu picked up the broken porcelain on the ground, remembering the fiery eyes and words of that person, and only a sneer was left in his heart.

Men, most of them are really unreliable!

……

Qin's mother saw that her face was a little wrong at that time, and thought that she had been injured repeatedly, and repeatedly told her to recuperate in Zhuangzi. After that, Xiao Gu came to this country house in the name of recuperation.

Shaking her head and waving away these memories, she stood in this warehouse, looking at the golden jade and red musk deer all over the ground, Qiluo Jinxiu, but she felt a little headache: how to find such things?

Lan Ning was actually quite experienced, and suggested: "I will first count and classify the items according to the dowry list, and you will be responsible for the careful search." ”

Xiao Gu also believed in her ability - how prominent the Lan family was back then, if it wasn't for the whole family who was involved in the rebellion case, I am afraid that Lan Ning is also a shrewd and capable lady now.

The two of them worked together intensively and got busy, and when the sky showed a trace of fish belly white, but they found nothing, they slipped back to the room in the early morning, hid in the quilt and pretended to sleep, looking at each other's bloodshot eyes, they couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Lan Ning was a little anxious, "Where is this hidden?" Could it be that Mrs. Zhang secretly sent back to her parents' house? ”

Xiao Gu shook his head slowly, "The thing is in Mrs. Zhang's Jining Hou Mansion - this is what my father Hu told me personally." ”

Lan Ning knew that she had a knot in her heart for her biological father Hu Yan, and when she mentioned this matter, she couldn't help but feel shocked.

The sunlight shines on the quilt through the window screen, warm and soft velvet, but Xiao Gu's voice is as cold as a cold spring frozen -

"It was three nights before the raid on my house, and he suddenly called me to the study, and he didn't speak, just stared at me silently."

"His eyes fell on the jade pendant hanging on my chest, and he said lightly, 'This jade pendant must be kept and not lost.' ”

"I thought that he had listened to the slanderous words of the red note and wanted to reprimand me, but he looked at me quietly for a long time, and said in a complicated and tangled tone that he had never seen before-If one day, someone comes to me with the same jade pendant, I must tell him: The thing is in Mrs. Zhang's Mansion of Jining!"

Her eyes were shining, there were no tears, no pain and no hatred, "From childhood to adulthood, this is the only thing he said to me calmly. ”

Lan Ning couldn't help asking, "What about the owner of the other jade pendant?" ”

"I've seen him, but I haven't told him anything."

Xiao Gu wrapped the quilt tightly, and his voice was a little vague and ethereal, "I'm determined to get my hands on that mysterious wooden box." (To be continued......)
