Chapter 101: Guilt
Lu looked at Mama Zhang in horror, saw the heavy color in her eyes, and understood what she was going to do, until this moment, Lu's heart was a little distressed, Mama Zhang was her nurse, following her for decades, no one was more loyal to herself than her.
She is really reluctant to take Mama Zhang to blame, but now, if she doesn't think of a way to make up for it, she will really be defeated, looking at Gu Qingwan's figure, she suddenly became ruthless and closed her eyes.
I'm sorry, Mama Zhang!
Lu Shi opened his eyes again, his eyes flashed with a complicated look of heartache and anger, and he said tremblingly, "Mama Zhang...... You...... What did you say? ”
Mama Zhang didn't look at the Lu family again, she turned around, knelt at Gu Tianyou's feet, and said indifferently: "Second master, everything is done by the slave maid, the slave maid has followed the lady for more than 20 years, and has regarded the lady as her own child, the slave and the maid have watched her work hard for so many years, but she is just making wedding dresses for others, she is really unwilling!" Even if she is already the second lady of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, but the Gu family is still the second young master in the end, and the old slave is not worth it for her, so she does everything possible to frame the second young master, as long as the second young master is ruined, then the third young master is the rightful heir of the Gu family, and the old slave also followed the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, so he bought off Xiaolu and Ming Chong, did this scene, and asked the second master to punish him! ”
Gu Tianyou was taken aback by Mama Zhang's sudden confession, he took two steps back, squinted his eyes, and stared at Mama Zhang tightly, as if he wanted to see the traces of her lying, but Mama Zhang's face was calm, her eyes were calm, and she was a little calm, but she couldn't tell that she was lying.
Seeing this, the eldest lady trembled with anger, and almost let the Lu family eat the consequences, but now a scapegoat suddenly appeared, seeing that the Lu family was about to get rid of the crime successfully, she was unwilling, so she said: "You are just a slave, if no one instructs you, is it really good for you to do this?" ”
Mama Zhang smiled, looked at the eldest lady, and then said: "The eldest lady is also a mother, don't you understand that parents in this world can do anything for their children, although the lady is not from me, but she grew up drinking the milk of the slave maid, she has no biological mother since she was a child, she was brought up by the slave maid herself, and this relationship is not worse than the mother-daughter relationship!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the eldest lady was stunned and couldn't find the words to refute her for a while, and Lu Shi also burst into tears, she suddenly hugged Mama Zhang, and said with great grief: "Mama, how can you be so stupid, I don't want to fight for anything, I can have everything today, I am already satisfied!" Why do you suffer this, why do you suffer! ”
Mama Zhang patted Lu's back and comforted her softly: "My good lady, what the slave and maid do is for you, but I didn't expect that it didn't help you and the third young master, but hurt you, the slave and maid are really incompetent, such an incompetent old woman, it is not appropriate to serve you anymore!" ”
Lu Shi cried bitterly, and couldn't even speak clearly, just shook his head helplessly, fell into Mama Zhang's arms, and kept sobbing.
This scene, even the spectators couldn't help but be a little moved, although they did such a poisonous thing, but Mama Zhang's loyalty is unquestionable.
Gu Tianyou looked at the Lu family, then at Mama Zhang, sighed deeply, and said: "Mama Zhang, although you are dedicated to your master, you have made an unforgivable mistake, not only did you damage An'er's reputation, but also almost caused Wan'er and Zhao'er to be held accountable by me, how can I not spare you!" ”
When Lu Shi heard this, he didn't care about his crying, so he threw himself at Gu Tianyou's feet and shouted: "Husband, please, please, let me be punished on behalf of my grandmother, the concubine has not been by her mother's side since she was a child, and only her mother has always been by her side, for the sake of the concubine, forgive her, okay?" ”
Lu Shiben's crying swollen eyes were pitiful, which made Gu Tianyou feel pity again, remembering that he had misunderstood her just now, and felt guilty, he couldn't help but help but help her up, and comforted her softly in his arms: "Ningyu, don't cry, my heart is messed up when you cry!" ”
Lu Shi still struggled and said: "Husband, if you don't agree to forgive Mama, the concubine will not be able to kneel for a long time, I am such a nurse, treat her like a relative, how can I watch her die?" ”
"When did I say that I wanted her to die, didn't Wan'er say it just now, in two months it will be Wan'er's courtesy, you can't see blood, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is inevitable, if you don't punish her, how can you let your husband be in the house in the future?" Gu Tianyou frowned and persuaded bitterly.
As soon as he heard Gu Tianyou's words, Lu finally stopped his tears and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your kindness!" ”
Gu Tianyou saw that she was no longer funny, nodded, and said: "Mama Zhang made her own opinion, set up a poison plan, and framed the master, although she could avoid death, pull down the cane and punish forty, and reduce it to a rough mother-in-law, responsible for cleaning the toilet and washing the latrine!" ”
Mama Zhang frowned, although such a punishment was not very serious for her, but it was enough to make her lose face, from the leading lady in charge of the house to a rough woman who poured the toilet, this status has plummeted.
But she didn't dare to disobey, so she could only kowtow and thank her: "Second Master Xie forgives, Second Mrs. Xie forgives!" ”
"Now, does the second master still favor the Lu family? Zhao'er is my sister-in-law in the long house, but she was so calculated by the people in your second room, is the punishment of the second master too light? The eldest lady on the side said coldly, if she just dealt with a few subordinates so simply and let go of the mastermind Lu, she was really unwilling.
Gu Tianyou couldn't come to the stage for a while, the eldest lady was his eldest sister-in-law after all, and he was embarrassed to refute her words, he could only look at Old Madam Gu, hoping that Old Madam Gu would help him persuade the eldest lady.
Old Madam Gu turned her head and stopped looking at Gu Tianyou, this was obviously done by the Lu family, her son was a little too partial to the Lu family, and the Lu family used such a vicious scheme to kill her grandson, how could she tolerate her!
"Sister-in-law, this is all done by Mama Zhang alone, and it has nothing to do with Ning Yu." Gu Tianyou continued to exonerate the Lu family.
"Can't I see if it has anything to do with her? I can see that you two rooms sing and one song and harm my Zhao'er and Wan'er, why is it really that there is no one in our big room? If the Hou Ye knows, I don't know how the second master will explain to our Hou Ye? The eldest lady sneered.
Gu Tianyou's face turned blue and white for a while, he didn't expect that the usually taciturn eldest lady would have such an aggressive side.
"I will give my sister-in-law an explanation for this." Gu Tianyou gritted his teeth, and could only punish the Lu family ruthlessly.
The dust settled, the Lu family was punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall for one night because of lax discipline, and after thinking about it behind closed doors for a month, and because there was no way to discipline, Gu Qingan was temporarily handed over to Aunt Gao to raise.
This punishment made the Lu family shocked, she couldn't bear her son being handed over to a concubine to raise, so she cried, but Gu Tianyou was indifferent, and Gu Qingan was finally raised under Aunt Gao's name.
This punishment made the eldest lady barely satisfied, as a mother, of course she knew how unbearable it was for her child not to be raised under her knees, which was a punishment for the Lu family.
Gu Qing'an lost face in the school, Wenhua College originally wanted him to drop out, Gu Tianyou pleaded in every possible way, saying that the subordinates in the family were not angry with the master's punishment, and deliberately framed him, and it took nearly 10,000 taels of silver to settle the matter, and did not let Gu Qingan become a student who was withdrawn from school, otherwise no one would be willing to accept which school he wanted to go to in the future.
It's just that in the end, this incident damaged his reputation, and the classmates who knew about it in the school were unwilling to get close to him, and they all got greeted by their families, saying that they were afraid that Gu Qingan would bring their children badly.
Gu Qing'an had a hard time, and Gu Tianyou helped him take half a month's leave, and Gu Tianyou also had the heart to avoid the limelight, so he agreed, and only let Gu Qingan think about it behind closed doors in his yard, and he was not allowed to make trouble again.
Afterwards, the eldest lady took Gu Qingzhao to visit Gu Qingwan in Peach Blossom Garden, and thanked Gu Qingwan: "Wan'er, thanks to you this time." If it weren't for you and me, Zhao'er would have been harmed by that unscrupulous person. ”
"Mother, as long as we have a long house, we must not let those who have a heart harm us. Zhao'er is my younger brother, and I should help him. ”
Gu Qingwan really treats Gu Qingzhao as her own brother, Gu Qingxuan has been missing for many years and has never been found, if nothing goes wrong, it can only be Gu Qingzhao who will inherit the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan in the future, and she will not let the second room take advantage of it.
"Sister, thank you. If there was no sister, Zhao'er really didn't know what to do. Gu Qingzhao looked at her with dependence and trust in his eyes, and he didn't know when Gu Qingwan became his most trusted and relied on relative. No matter what happens, the first thing he thinks of is always Gu Qingwan.
"What's polite to my sister. Protecting your younger brother is what you should do as an eldest sister. What you have to do now is to study and practice martial arts well, and leave the rest to your sister to do. Gu Qingwan's eyes were soft and her expression was firm.
"Well, Zhao'er will definitely study and practice martial arts hard and live up to the expectations of her mother and sister." Gu Qingzhao said firmly.
Looking at the warm and harmonious picture of the sister and brother, the eldest lady felt a lot of relief. I also secretly decided in my heart that I must manage the affairs of the house well and never let today's incident happen to Gu Qingzhao again.
After the eldest lady's mother and son left, Zilan came back from outside, with an unpredictable smile on her face, Ziyu saw this, and said suspiciously: "Sister Zilan, why are you smiling so terrible?" ”
Zilan glanced at her, and then whispered to Gu Qingwan: "Miss, I have done it according to your instructions!" Just look at it! ”
Gu Qingwan nodded and said, "I don't have to worry about your errands, okay, it's not early, let's have dinner together, Mama Qin specially cooked a few specialty dishes today!" ”
Seeing them like this, Ziyu became even more anxious, and hurriedly asked Zilan quietly, "What are you going to do?" Why didn't you tell me? ”
