Chapter Forty-Eight: The Road Meets the Dead

This person is Li Shaohua, the second master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, from the concubine's room. Although he is the concubine of Prime Minister Li, he is currently the imperial historian of the court, and he is also a very authoritative person in the entire Li Mansion.

He is tall, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, peugeot facial features, meticulously combed hair, and a black beard on his chin, and he looks like a calm and handsome middle-aged man. Especially on his face, there is a gentle and harmless smile all the time, giving people a sense of intimacy, which can easily make people let down their guard against him and be kind to him.

In the eyes of Gu Qingwan in the past, this second uncle was the best and gentlest person among all the uncles. Never speak loudly to children.,Amiable personality.。 Although her grandmother and mother often told her to spend more time with her uncle, in the heart of little Gu Qingwan, the best person was still the second uncle. He would pick her up very gently, and give her beautiful toys, so that he was not like the eldest uncle and the third uncle, who looked fierce and vicious, and was not close to her.

The second uncle has two sons and one daughter, the third cousin Li Yuanqi, the sixth cousin Li Yuanliang, and the fourth cousin Li Bingxin. In the past, when she arrived at the Li Mansion, she always secretly went to her second uncle to play, and her relationship with Cousin Bingxin was better than that of Cousin Bing Butterfly and Cousin Bing Yu. In her opinion, the second aunt Lin is much gentler than the eldest aunt Fang, and treats her better than her own daughter.

At that time, she was also obedient to the words of her second uncle's family, and she only felt that they were the best uncles and aunts in the world. If she hadn't experienced rebirth, looking at such a gentle and kind handsome man, perhaps, she would fall into the trap of the other party again without knowing it!

In her previous life, the destruction of the Gu family's house had a lot to do with her second uncle, Li Shaohua and her second uncle Gu Tianyou had a virtue, and the wolf ambition stepped on his relatives to climb up. These two even teamed up to uproot Gu Qingwan.

The Li Mansion has gone from prosperity to decline, and this second uncle can be said to have contributed a lot. No one would know that the second master, who seemed to be the most kind and unambitious, actually designed to make the Li Mansion fall, and finally set up his own mansion and became a powerful Hou Ye. And Gu Qingwan's eldest uncle and third uncle were framed by him, and their family was ruined and reduced to poverty. She will never forget the scene when her grandfather was to death, her grandmother was blinded by crying, and her aunt and uncle finally prostrate themselves humbly before the wicked people, begging for alms.

Gu Qingwan's eyes gradually became sharp, and now no one would believe her no matter what she said. There are still two years before that incident happened, and it seems that we can only take it step by step, first lift the friendship with the Li Mansion, and then remind it secretly! Now, the most important thing is to find the person who can treat my cousin's leg ailment.

She didn't want to make a noise about this matter, so she went to Chen Yuan for help. She and Chen Yuan are childhood sweethearts or still have a little friendship, and sure enough, she went to Chen Yuan and asked him to help find a doctor named Liu Yixu, but he didn't ask her the reason and agreed directly.

"Brother Chen, try your best to send someone to inquire more about Suzaku Street, and once there is news, you must send someone to inform me, please Brother Chen."

"Got it, I'll send someone to tell you as soon as I have news." Chen Yuan looked at her bright eyes, nodded and smiled.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

After leaving Chen Yuan's house, Gu Qingwan asked Uncle Qin to rush back to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion before dark. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Gu Qingwan also felt a little anxious. Daddy said that from today onwards, they would have a family dinner together every night, and she didn't want to go back too late and let the family wait for her.

The carriage passed through an alley, and because it was in a hurry, it happened to pass a bend, and a carriage appeared in front of it at this time. Uncle Ma hurriedly controlled the horse to stop, but at this moment, it was too late!

"Be careful!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Boom!"

There was the neighing of horses in her ears, and the carriage rolled, Gu Qingwan only felt that the world was turned upside down, dizzy, and she barely grabbed the window side, which avoided the fate of being thrown out.

"Uncle Qin, what's wrong?"

"Miss, are you alright? Our carriage has just collided with another carriage! Uncle Qin tightened the reins and finally let the horse be docile.

"What the hell is going on up front? Will you be able to see the road? If it hurts our young lady, I want you to walk around without eating! ”

At the same time, the horseman on the opposite side also scolded them after a false alarm, Uncle Qin was more honest, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, this is a turning alley corner, I haven't seen you for a while, the nobles in the house are all right, right?" ”

"Did you say anything was wrong? It's really not long-eyed, hurry up and get out of the way, don't get in the way, we still have to hurry! ”

The other party's attitude was arrogant, and Gu Qingwan, who was in the carriage, suddenly had a trace of anger, Uncle Qin had already lowered his posture, and besides, it was not all their fault, it was really a bit too deceitful. So I lifted the curtain and planned to go out to theorize.

"Xu Fu, how can you talk like that?"

Just as she lifted the curtain, a pink-clothed girl also walked out of the other party's carriage, she glanced at her servant reproachfully, and immediately raised her head apologetically, and smiled at Gu Qingwan.

"This girl, the servants of my family are unobtrusive and disrespectful, and I hope you will not be surprised!"

"Sister Xiao!"

"Sister Wan!"

The coquettish voice sounded in unison, Gu Qingwan and the girl opposite looked at each other and smiled, it was Xiao Lan, the eldest lady of Xiao Guogong's mansion, she and Gu Qingwan met at a polo match. Gu Qingwan loves to play polo, two years ago Xiao Guogong's Mansion held a polo match, when Chen Yuan happened to be in the capital, Gu Qingwan pulled Chen Yuan to play polo, when she and Chen Yuan won the first place in the game. During the break, Xiao Lan took the initiative to greet her, Xiao Lan said that it was the first time she saw a woman who could play polo so well without losing to a man, that was the first time Gu Qingwan was recognized, and it was also the first time she took the initiative to make friends with a girl.

Later, Gu Qingwan taught Xiao Lan to ride a horse and taught her to play polo. Few people knew about the friendship between the two of them, and even Gu Qingyue didn't know that she had a relationship with Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan is one of her few friends.

"I didn't expect to see you under such circumstances, Sister Wan! But unfortunately, I have urgent matters to go first, and I'm afraid I can't talk to you in this place. That's good, it's my birthday in a few days, and you are welcome to come to Xiao Mansion as a guest. It just so happens that I still have an invitation with me, and this is really the fate of the two of us! ”

Xiao Lan smiled playfully, and instructed her mother-in-law beside her to take a delicate red post and send it to Gu Qingwan. Gu Qingwan took it with both hands, and also showed a sweet smile towards the other party: "Yes, Sister Xiao's birthday, I must go to participate!" ”

"Sister Wan, I'll go first, I must go when the time comes." Xiao Lan winked at Gu Qingwan, then waved her hand at her and sat back in the carriage.

"Sister Wan'er, goodbye!"

"Good! Sister Lan walks slowly! ”

Gu Qingwan also waved at her, and then returned to the carriage, asking Uncle Qin to back down slightly, and letting Xiao Lan's carriage go first.

Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion

Gu Tianyuan looked at the empty seat on the right, and suddenly frowned slightly, the family finally had dinner together, did something happen if they didn't come back at this time?

"Why hasn't Wan'er come yet?"

"This may be on the way back, Master Hou, why has Wan'er been running to the Li Mansion for the past few days? Didn't she refuse to go to the Li Mansion the most before? Liu asked curiously, since that incident happened five years ago, she hadn't seen Gu Qingwan go to the Li Mansion, why did she go to the Li Mansion often in the past few days after going to the Li Mansion last time.

"Isn't the Li Mansion my sister's maternal grandfather's house? Why did my sister refuse to go to the Li Mansion? Gu Qingzhao, who was well-behaved on the side, didn't understand what his mother's words meant.

"Alas, it's normal that you didn't know when you were young." Liu told him about Li Yuanzhan's broken leg in order to protect Gu Qingwan.

"Sister is so pitiful!" Gu Qingzhao felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, he felt that his sister was really pitiful, she had no mother since she was a child, and then her cousin was broken in order to save herself and his younger brother was lost, his father often did not go home, and no one in the huge Hou Mansion was sincere to his sister.

Although Gu Qingzhao is only nine years old, he is very sensible. He regretted that he avoided her because his sister didn't like him and alienated her, causing her to be deceived by his second aunt and second cousin.

Gu Tianyuan sighed, patted Liu's hand, and said, "Wan'er is much more sensible than before when I come back this time, and Wan'er has also accepted you, you are the mistress of my Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and you will stay to take care of Wan'er and Zhao'er in the future." I used to look at the wrong person, thinking that the Lu family was worthy of entrusting, so I left Wan'er to take care of her, but I didn't expect her to be so intolerant. After all, Lu is Tianyou's wife and the mother of Tianyou's children, although I gave her a chance to reform her life this time, I didn't dare to let her take care of Wan'er anymore. In the future, you will pay more attention to Wan'er. ”

"That's natural, since Wan'er calls me mother, of course I will think about her." Liu nodded and smiled: "Master Hou, don't worry, Wan'er is smart, she will definitely deal with it, don't worry about her." ”

At this moment, a maid's report came from the door: "Master, madam, the eldest lady is here!" ”

"Daddy, I'm sorry I'm late, something happened, I promise, this kind of thing will never happen again next time!" Gu Qingwan's tall and slender figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and as soon as she came back with a smile on her face, she saw the dull atmosphere of the scene, and she was suddenly a little puzzled.

"Daddy, you're not going to be angry, are you?"

"No, how could Daddy be angry. Why did you come back so late today? ”

Gu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her seat with a light smile, "Daddy, when I came back, I met the eldest lady of Xiao Guogong's Mansion, and she said that it would be her birthday in three days, and invited me to participate." ”

As Gu Qingwan spoke, she took out the invitation in her arms and handed it to Gu Tianyuan.
