Gu Qingwan really wanted to laugh at this time, once she really regarded Lu's mother and daughter and Gu Tianyou as her closest people, her mother died when she was very young, and her father married Xu Xian soon after, and he was often away from home, every time he left for a year, she really spent too little time with her father. In the past, she even felt that the second uncle and aunt were more like her parents, so she was very close to the second room, she regarded Gu Qingyue and Gu Qingan as her own sister and younger brother, leaving them with whatever was good, and maintaining them everywhere.

But she really didn't expect that the person she thought was closest to her wanted to ruin her reputation all the time, her favorite sister robbed her fiancé, and her good second uncle was even more ruined.

She also had the idea of letting them live, and now it seems that she should not be soft-hearted towards these hypocritical and greedy wicked people, and she will definitely make them pay the price they deserve.

Old Madam Gu frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything, because now she couldn't figure out what was going on, and Gu Qingwan kept bowing her head and not saying anything, not justifying or admitting her mistakes, that attitude was really a little strange.

Gu Qingwan suddenly raised her head and looked straight at her second uncle, there was no anger in her eyes, no heartache, and her cool eyes made Gu Tianyou's heart glow with indescribable fear and coldness.

But the dignity of being an elder made him just shake away the strange feeling in his heart, he was a dignified household servant, and even the incomparably majestic monarch in the court could not easily make him afraid, how could he be afraid of a fourteen-year-old child, this child was still his niece.

So he pointed at Gu Qingwan even more angrily and said: "You heartless little hoof, your second aunt treats you so well, you actually bite back, buy your sister's maid, let your sister make a fool of yourself in front of people, and even cause your second aunt to lose face, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?" ”

Ziyu rushed over with tears streaming down her face, hugged Gu Qingwan in her arms, and cried: "Miss, speak quickly, it's not Chun'er you instructed at all, you explain to the second master and the old lady that you can't suffer this grievance!" ”

She patted Ziyu on the shoulder and smiled at her with a soothing smile, although it was very light, it made Ziyu feel indescribably relieved, and she forgot to cry for a moment.

"Ziyu, do you still want to argue for your sister? Chun'er admitted it, if it weren't for my sister's instructions, who would have the courage to slander me and my mother? even said that her mother had bad intentions towards her sister and deliberately poisoned her sister to ruin her appearance, how dare she talk nonsense as a slave? Gu Qingyue accused indignantly, and after speaking, she threw herself into Lu's arms and continued to sob.

Old Madam Gu squinted her eyes and stared at Gu Qingwan, who had been indifferent, at this moment, even she couldn't figure out Gu Qingwan's thoughts, even if she was really bold enough to frame her sister and second aunt, with her only fourteen years old, how could she be so calm?

Gu Qingwan slowly got up, pushed Ziyu aside, and whispered something in her ear while everyone was not paying attention, and then knelt straight again.

She kowtowed heavily to Old Madam Gu, then looked up, looking at the old woman sitting high on the top, she showed a bitter smile, which looked more and more distressing.

She tried to make her smile look better, and said to the old lady, "Grandmother, are you willing to believe Wan'er?" ”

Old Madam Gu didn't know how to answer her, but intuitively thought that Gu Qingwan was innocent, but now someone was correcting her, as the most respected old lady in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, she couldn't listen to and believe partially, let alone easily shield anyone. Even if she is selfish, she wants to keep this granddaughter who has been voting for her in recent days.

Looking at Old Madam Gu's face, Gu Qingwan already understood, but she didn't have any complaints, this world is like this, no one has the obligation to help you, and the only one who can be relied on has always been yourself.

She smiled, then suddenly stood up and walked towards Chun'er, her eyes were like black ink, she looked at Chun'er, showed a smile, and said, "Chun'er, you say...... Did I command you? ”

Chun'er was slightly frightened by her cold eyes, but the idea of survival made her nod firmly and said, "Miss...... I'm sorry, but the slave and maid also have to give you up in order to survive! ”

"Well, since I instructed you, what token do I have for you? I'm afraid you can't be convincing just by your empty words, right? Gu Qingwan said slowly.

Chun'er was a little embarrassed, because she lied, so where did the token come from, she glanced at the Lu family in embarrassment, and seemed to be waiting for the Lu family to relieve her.

But the smart Lu didn't move, if she stood up to relieve Chun'er at this time, it would only make the old lady suspect her, so she turned her head and pretended not to see Chun'er's eyes.

Chun'er was so anxious that she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "At that time, the eldest lady didn't give me a token, and now I think about it, I'm afraid that the eldest lady was afraid that the slave would give you after the matter was revealed, so I didn't leave a token!" ”

Gu Qingwan nodded as if she agreed, and continued: "It makes sense for you to say this, so since you are doing things for me, what benefits have I given you?" Otherwise, why would you turn your back on your master, and be at my command? ”

Chun'er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the gold that the second lady and her wife gave her when she instructed her to act in that play, and she was overjoyed in her heart, and said, "Yes...... Yes, the eldest lady rewarded me with two ingots of gold, which are still hidden in a small box under my bed! ”

"Oh...... It turns out that you, a minion, betrayed your master for two ingots of gold, and it's really easy to buy! A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Gu Qingwan's mouth.

As soon as Chun'er's words came out, the Lu family knew that something was wrong, those two ingots of gold, I was afraid that Gu Qingwan would bite it, and it would hurt her when the time came, she was anxious, but she didn't know what to do.

I could only come out and reprimand Chun'er, and said, "You cheap maid, you actually betrayed me and the second miss for two ingots of gold, isn't the reward I give you on weekdays enough?" What a disappointment for me! ”

When Chun'er heard this, she also felt that this reward was too little, and it was definitely inappropriate for her to sell her master at such a low price, so she hurriedly explained: "The eldest lady also promised the slave maid that after the matter is completed, she will reward the slave and maid with 1,000 taels of silver, and ...... And she also threatened the slave and maid with the slave's family, saying that the slave and maid were disobedient, so she sold the slave and the maid's family! ”

When Gu Qingwan heard this, her smile became even brighter, as if Chun'er had been saying such funny things, she gently covered her mouth with a handkerchief, hid her wanton smile, and asked Old Madam Gu instead: "Grandmother, is the deed of sale of Chun'er's family in the name of her granddaughter?" ”

Old Madam Gu shook her head, and was also very angry at Chun'er's erroneous words, and said: "It's nonsense, the deed of sale of your family is in the hands of Madame, how dare the eldest lady threaten to sell your whole family, you tell me clearly, what is going on?" ”

Lu was almost stunned by Chun'er's stupid head, let her make up a nonsense, she could make it up so badly, she was still smart on weekdays, why did she not do it like this at a critical moment?

As soon as Chun'er was drunk by the old lady, she became even more nervous, and said tremblingly: "Slave maid...... Slaves...... The slave maid didn't understand it at the time, thinking that the eldest lady was favored by the lady, and she would definitely be able to persuade the lady to sell the slave and maid's family! ”

Such words are naturally a big joke in the ears of people who understand, and Old Madam Gu's face changed when she was angry, and she said with a blue face: "You, full of nonsense, you have to make it clear today, who instructed you?" ”

"It's the eldest lady, the old lady, it's really the eldest lady, the slave doesn't dare to lie!" Chun'er kowtowed again and again, and insisted that it was Gu Qingwan's knowledge.

Gu Qingwan didn't argue, and only said lightly to Old Madam Gu: "Grandmother, since Chun'er insisted that it was me, and said that I rewarded her with two ingots of gold, it is better to ask grandmother to send someone to search out the two ingots of gold!" ”

When Lu and Gu Qingyue heard this, they only felt a shock in their hearts, but when they thought about it, the gold was ordinary gold, how could they identify who gave it? So they were all silent, waiting for Old Madam Gu to speak.

Old Madam Gu also felt that she should confirm whether what Chun'er said was true or false, but because Gu Tianyou was present, she asked, "What does the second old man think?" ”

"That being the case, it's better to conclude that the evidence is conclusive, so let's go and search for it!"

Gu Qingwan's lowered eyes flashed with mockery, and when he got back the evidence later, how should he make a conclusion?

Gu Qingwan said respectfully to Old Madam Gu: "Grandmother, for the sake of fairness, let's ask Grandmother to send someone she trusts to check!" ”

Old Madam Gu nodded, glanced at Grandma Sun, and said, "Then Grandma Sun will take the tourmaline with you, be sure to search carefully, and you can't miss any evidence!" ”

She believes that Gu Qingwan can be so calm, she must be sure to clear her suspicion, since this is the case, then why don't she, who is a grandmother, be a favor!

Gu Qingwan smiled gratefully at Old Madam Gu, as if she was sincerely grateful for her grandmother's fairness and selflessness, but the bottom of her eyes that was forever condensed did not contain half of her emotions.

The Lu family was faintly worried, but Gu Qingyue had no fear, and came to Gu Tianyou to be coquettish and win her father's pity, she believed that no matter what, her father who doted on her would definitely stand on her side and would not let Gu Qingwan bully her!

At this time, everyone's attention in the room was on Gu Qingyue, and no one noticed that Zilan, who had disappeared for a long time, quietly entered the room and nodded to Gu Qingwan.

Gu Qingwan stood quietly on the side, waiting for Grandma Sun and Tourmaline to come back, the only thing she believed was that Grandma Sun had followed the old lady for so long and would not be bought by the Lu family.

About half a pillar of incense, Grandma Sun came back with a box, her face was calm, she couldn't see any clues, and the tourmaline followed behind, but she was a little cramped.

Old Madam Gu glanced at Grandma Sun and asked, "What can be found?" ”
