After Grandma Fang Er confessed in Dali Temple that she was the first to gossip about Gu Nian in the third room of the Jin Palace, the third lady of the third room came to the door.
The third lady was wearing a blue pigmented dress, overwhelmed, emaciated, with no rings on her body, no beaded hairpin on her head, and a haggard face.
As soon as she saw Gu Nian, she knelt on the ground, and after crawling towards Gu Nian, she opened her throat and cried.
Gu Nian was taken aback, and hurriedly got up to dodge, giving Aoba a look and asking her to help the third lady up.
The third lady struggled a few times, how could she carry the martial arts Qingye, got up helplessly, and cried, "These days, my heart is the same as boiling oil, and there are three sessions to try a lawsuit in the palace, how did you come to me, and the Wei family nailed me to death with a word?"
The Wei family and the princess's mansion just wanted their niece and daughter-in-law to let go, so they took me to the top.
Niece and daughter-in-law, you say, how could the third aunt be so confused and say things like you? ”
Her tears rolled down, and she said in a mournful voice, "Your third uncle is just a six-department official, and the people who come and go are just like me, and I am just grieving my own life."
Those people have the heart to make up a few words from my words, attack and annihilate you and the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, cause trouble, and take me to the thunder. ”
Gu Nian was impatient with the third lady's quibbles, and said, "Third aunt, you are an elder, you are you, I am me, and the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion is the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion."
How did you grieve yourself? Can make others make up so much gossip?
If you only say that your life is miserable, no matter how crookedly you are, you won't be able to get tangled in me, let alone in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, my grandmother, and my two cousins. ”
The third lady stagnated, sat down in her chair, her face turned pale, and cried, "I...... I didn't think that I had done so many foolish things in the first place, thinking about your grandmother, who almost drove us out of the capital...... I also have mercy on you, they are intent on slandering me. ”
Gu Nian couldn't listen to the third lady's quibble, stood up and sneered,
"You've done so many foolish things, you can't think about pit people once, just pit others, why do you want to pit your own family?
If you hadn't hinted to that family today, and reminded this family tomorrow, your mouth would be full of air.
What have you ever been to be someone else? I can't see your intentions.
They laugh and laugh at us, and you cry and have mercy on us, but you cry and have mercy on us that is more vile and shameless than those who mock us. ”
Of course, it is impossible for the third lady to gloat and talk to people about this, as long as she speaks, she uses sad, trance, and obscure words to involve Gu Nian, the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion, the eldest princess, etc., saying that there is a heart, the listener is intentional, and as soon as the two sides get together, those rumors come out, and nine and a half of the ten sentences are true.
Only Gu Nian can't regenerate, this can't be proven, and it's extremely vicious.
"Third aunt, originally a family for so many years, our well water does not interfere with the river water, it seems to be harmonious, every New Year's holiday, incense to the grandmother, this is good, but the third aunt doesn't want to live a comfortable life, to live that bad day.
Okay, then come on and see who's going to be bad! ”
The third lady was angry for a while, her heart sank, and she said in a lamented voice,
"What a family, what a comfortable day, only you are comfortable, after we move out, where is the comfortable life.
It turns out that it can be said that it is the third master of the palace, the girl of the palace, after going out, she is just the family of an ordinary Liupintang official, who cares about you. ”
The third lady cried, threw herself to Gu Nian's side, hugged Gu Nian's legs, only felt that her body trembled uncontrollably, and her voice trembled.
"Please, princess, you can let me live......"
She really never dreamed that what should have been done unknowingly would be stabbed open inexplicably, and she didn't expect that she didn't even have a chance to cover it up.
In fact, there are all kinds of things in the family, no matter how sensational they are, they are commonplace, and everyone knows how the black water under the flowers is turbid and smelly.
What she did this time, in fact, is not a big deal, but it is just to say a few words of tongue, at most she is said to chew the root of her tongue, but she didn't expect it to become like this.
Gu Nian looked at the third lady coldly, "Now that you have gone out, do you know that life is not easy?" What did you do in the first place? When your grandmother died, no one let you out, and it was the third uncle who made trouble in the mourning hall, so he finally had to let you move out. ”
The third lady was almost out of strength crying, Gu Nian looked at it coldly, and no one spoke.
Outside, the third old man came in from outside with sweat, and saw the third lady paralyzed on the ground, her face was pale, and she stepped forward and grabbed the third lady's clothes.
"You're crazy, you're crazy, who are you going to threaten here?"
The third master wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve, and said to Gu Nian, "This time, it was your third aunt who did not do it right, go back today, let her go to the nunnery, cultivate her body, cultivate her mind, and think about what you have done in the past few years in front of the gods and Buddhas." ”
The third lady looked at the third master with swollen eyes, frightened, and angry, "I don't accept it, why ......?"
Imprisoned in the nunnery, and still not laughed to death? Also, I don't know how long it will take to release it after I go inside.
"I'm not convinced." Gu Nian looked at the third old man and said calmly, "If the Buddha can really resolve people's grievances and cleanse their souls, there won't be so much right and wrong in the world." ”
In the inner house, eating fast and reciting Buddha is always used as a means of punishment.
Just like Mrs. An Yuanhou drugged the eldest princess of the country, she was also sent to the family temple of the Zhou family in Jinling.
But Gu Nian never saw this kind of punishment, so he was obsessed with imprisoning people in Dali Temple.
The third lady was originally crying, but after listening to what Gu Nian said, she suddenly looked up at Gu Nian, her head was blank.
"Second Grandma Fang has been divorced because of her many mouths and tongues, and Wei Changshi's family has also been kicked out of the Changning Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Although Wei Changshi is only the long history of the princess's mansion, he also has official qualities and titles, and what happened this time directly made Wei Changshi's official body be reformed and never hired.
There is also Miss Mo, too, because of this incident, it is even more difficult to say that others.
As the initiator of the rumors, chanting the scriptures to counteract her sins?
According to the third lady's past and just performance, who knows how she repented in front of the Buddha? It's better to break it directly.
The third lady glared at her red and swollen eyelids, looked at the third master in a panic, and screamed and begged, "I really know it's wrong......
Straight to the point? The third lady thought a lot and thought far ahead.
Gu Nian said in a deep voice, "I want the third lady to be from now on, and she will not be from the Xiao family." ”
This is to let the third master abandon the third lady.
"Sir!" The third lady's eyes were red, her face was pale and blue, and her heart was like being shattered by a knife.
No, I can't be abandoned, but I have guarded the spirit of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and I have worn filial piety.
"You don't have to say anything, you must give me an explanation for this."
Confess, how to give an explanation?
Gu Nian held Aoba's hand and stood up, "It's not early, so I won't send the third uncle and third aunt." ”
"I'm waiting for news from the third uncle in the house."
After speaking, she took the maid out of the flower hall.
When did the third old man and his wife leave, Gu Nian didn't care anymore, the third old man's attitude seemed very good, but maybe it was possible to scold the third lady first, so that she was embarrassed to do anything to the third lady.
Then his wishful thinking was wrong, and this matter was not so easy to pass.
It is impossible for the third master not to know anything about what the third lady is doing, so his attitude is intriguing.
The matter between Grandma Fang Er and Miss Mo did not succeed in stirring up the relationship between the Jin Mansion and the Marquis of Anyuan, nor did it make any changes in the relationship between Xiao Yue and Gu Nian.
Everything is useless, but the rumors outside have changed again, saying that Gu Nian is a rouge tiger and a lion in Hedong, and Xiao Yue is a strict wife, because the power of the eldest princess and King Su makes Xiao Yue dare not have an outside heart.
These people are indeed afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
I can't make the flame of the dispute more and more vigorous.
Gu Nian couldn't figure it out, so he simply got up and went to the courtyard outside to take a walk.
She wanted to take a walk, but when she was tired, she went back to her room, lay down and went to sleep.
Unexpectedly, not long after leaving, Xiao Yue came back, and as soon as he grabbed Gu Nian's hand, "Why don't you go in, what are you doing outside?" ”
Gu Nian said, "Think of something and scatter outside." ”
Xiao Yue kissed her hand and walked towards the house with her, "I've been very busy lately, what's something you can't figure out?" Let's think together. ”
Gu Nian shook his head, "You've been so busy lately, I don't want to bother you, I'll think about it again, and if I still don't understand, I'll tell you." ”
"I've been very busy lately, but I'm busy so that we can live better, how can we live better? Of course, I have you by my side. ”
"So no matter how busy you are, it's not as important as you." Xiao Yue pressed her on the chair and told her to rest, "Okay, tell me if there's anything you don't understand?" ”
"Let my husband guess, is it the matter of Changning's grandmother's daughter-in-law? Imbued with the third uncle? ”
Gu Nian nodded, "Yes, for so many years, the second and third rooms have not come out, why did they suddenly ......?"
"Yes." Xiao Yue didn't hide it from her, and said directly, "There is a reason why the third uncle suddenly came out, I have already asked the dark one to investigate, because someone deliberately set up a situation, and the third aunt's dowry killed someone." ”
When Gu Nian heard this, her expression immediately became solemn, "You mean, the words that the third aunt said were all instructed by others, and someone first took her handle, and then asked her to go outside to talk about the rumors?" “
"The third aunt is not wronged, so many thoughts, there is no less to do in confusion." Xiao Yue said, "She was instructed by others, but she should also have that kind of mind in her heart, just half-push and half-push." ”
"As for the trap she jumped on, her dowry beat people to death, it was a pit, she put usury, and one of them deliberately ran away with money.
The third aunt asked people to chase after her, but where did she chase it back? There was a conflict between the dowry and the family member who ran away with the money, and the two daughters disappeared on the spot.
It is very likely that it was not the hand that accompanied the dowry, but someone who fished in troubled waters and killed someone.
But the dowry was particularly impulsive, and even he didn't know how to push it a few times, and the person died. ”
can kill people so quietly, the other party must be very powerful.
She thought for a moment and asked, "What did you find?" ”
"Found Anwang Lin Rui." Xiao Yue said lightly, "It's probably because of the previous incident, King An wants to take revenge." ”
"If he wants to do things in the court, he will definitely not be able to, so he can only pay attention to the third aunt."
"I don't know who paid such attention, from beginning to end, there was a sour and ruthless little family spirit."
Xiao Yue raised his eyebrows and sneered, "However, it is indeed very useful, at least it did catch the mistakes of the third aunt and caused us a lot of trouble." ”
Gu Nian heard that his tone was not good, so he asked, "What are you going to do, do you want to fight back?" ”
"Let's wait and see what happens." A cold light flashed in Xiao Yue's eyes.
"You took so much effort to imprison the two people in the mansion of the eldest princess of Changning, and it didn't take long for you to release them. Why don't you keep them locked up a little longer? ”
If Gu Nian is really ruthless, he can be locked up for as long as he wants, or let them not come out alive.
Gu Nian smiled, "Originally, it was to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and I wanted Changning Dachanggong to take the initiative to move, who knows, his old man sat like a mountain and didn't move at all."
Actually, although they haven't been locked up for a long time, the two of them won't have a good time in the future.
Fang Er's grandmother was given a divorce by the Wei family, and she was taken back by her mother's family, but she was sold to an old rich man in his fifties as a concubine.
As for the other one, he was sent directly to the nunnery when he came out of Dali Temple, and the Wei family was also cut into civilians, which can be regarded as cutting off one of the arms of the Mo family.
Many things in the Mo family were done by the Wei family, and all of a sudden, the entire Wei family was driven out, and it was difficult for my aunt and grandmother to find a satisfactory long history.
"Don't talk about those who block their hearts, by the way, Mama Su, who was next to my grandmother, gave a letter to the third uncle (at the funeral in chapter 144), do you know what it is?" Gu Nian asked Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue shook his head, "I don't know, Mama refuses to say, just said that the third uncle won't mess around with that letter, it's really quiet for so many years."
This time, maybe it's really because of the reason that I was caught. ”
"You check it out as soon as possible." Gu Nian was worried, "In the past, the third uncle and the fourth prince were mixed together, maybe the fourth prince contacted the third uncle again?" ”
Seeing her frowning, Xiao Yue reached out and scratched her cheek, "Don't worry, everything has me." ”
"I'm not worried." Gu Nian grabbed his hand and whispered, "I just want to do everything that the third uncle and third aunt do is revealed outside, and you can see it clearly."
The second aunt is different, if it wasn't for the third aunt who said it that day, who would have thought that the matter that had entangled you for so many years and that Aunt Yin's thing was done by the second aunt?
Back then, you were struggling to be like that in the mansion, they didn't say that they would pull you, but they were still like this, they had already beaten you up with the idea of the title, and they did not hesitate to use all means to slander your reputation.
Aren't they your own uncles? How can you do it? ”
Gu Nian frowned and said.
Xiao Yue patted her hand, "I don't want to think about that, I will tell the third and second uncles over there." There are a lot of places to keep an eye on lately, and there are a little insufficient manpower, and I don't know when my father-in-law will be home. ”
As soon as he said Gu Shi'an, Gu Nian remembered Aunt Ji who was still living in a side courtyard.
During this time, Astragalus was recuperating from her injuries, and Aunt Ji knew that she was injured to protect Gu Nian, so she said that it was too idle to live in the palace, so she moved to the courtyard where Astragalus was recuperating and took care of Astragalus.
She thought about it, pushed Xiao Yue away, and called Aoba in with a loud voice.
Xiao Yue saw that she was in trouble, so she didn't bother with it, sat on the side, picked up the book that Gu Nian read to pass the time, and read it.
After Aoba came in, Gu Nian asked, "What has Aunt Ji been doing during this time?" ”
"It's just to take care of Astragalus wholeheartedly, and do everything yourself, if it weren't for Astragalus refusing, it is estimated that all the and urine will be done. The slave quietly asked Astragalus and said that she took care of her very intimately, and she probably looked like that. ”
Gu Nian listened and lowered her eyes, which made her unable to see for a while.
She asked about Jingning here, and the eldest princess of the protectorate was also preparing to investigate Jingning's affairs.
The weather was too hot, even if it was late, the wind was still hot, and Mama Su, who was beside the eldest princess, came in from outside with a lamp.
Mama Su was not the only one who came in, there were a few dark shadows hanging their heads behind them, and they followed Mama Su into the courtyard of the eldest princess.
After Mama Su came in, Mama Zhou nodded at her, and when everyone entered the house, she looked around, and moved a chair to sit under the porch and guard.
The air outside was sweltering, and the atmosphere inside was equally dreary.
The eldest princess of the Protectorate sat on the couch, looked at the few people kneeling on the ground, and sighed softly, "Get up." ”
There was an oil lamp lit in the house, and the lanterns hanging on the porch outside, the dim light shone inward, shining on the faces of several people, the eldest princess was in a trance, and sighed with a smile, "Everyone is old." ”
The leader was a big man with a scar on his face, and he looked very fierce, such a fierce person, when he heard the words of the eldest princess, his eyes suddenly turned red,
"As long as His Highness needs it, the old ones can't be moved, and we will do it too."
The eldest princess was a little complicated in her tent, lowered her eyes, let them get up, pondered for a while, and told her about what she saw Jingning in the Jin Palace, and when she saw the underground Ji herself, she frowned, and said,
"When Jing Ning died, I was not in the capital, and I don't know what happened.
Nian Nian was still young, and he didn't know what was going on, and when he asked Shi'an, he was also sad at that time.
It's been many years since this incident, and I don't know if the clues at that time have been erased.
She took a deep breath, "Originally, I didn't have such an idea, it was a few years ago that the flower house of the former British Duke Zhang Changge was searched out of the old Su Wang, Princess Su, and the old Duke of Qi, Jingning Their ashes jar. ”
"I didn't expect that the old thief Zhang would be so mad that he dug them out one by one, crushing their bones and scattering ashes!"
The eldest princess said this, her voice choked, her eyes were red, she raised her head and forced back her tears.
The big man's face sank suddenly, and seeing the uncontrollable anger on everyone's faces, he scolded coldly, "Dog mongrel, their Zhang family can be glorious, but they worshiped the old marquis and His Royal Highness at the beginning......
"How dare he treat the county lord like this......"
The eldest princess glanced at them, saw that their eyes were also red, and waved her hand and said, "Zhang Changge is dead, and the death is not good-looking, I called you here today because there is another matter for you to investigate." ”
The big man immediately said, "Your Highness, please command, we have been idle for so many years, and it has finally come in handy, what should we check?" ”
The eldest princess said coldly, "I saw a person a few days ago, and I suspect that Jing Ning is not dead yet!" ”
"So, I want you to investigate the things of the year, from the moment Jing Ning died!"
"In addition, there is also a check on all the life trajectories of that person before he came to the capital."
That person naturally referred to Jing Ning, who lived in the Jin Palace.
"Zhou Heng, you have to be careful in everything, Jing Ning is just a backhouse woman, who can she offend? If you want to say offended, it should have something to do with me.
But Zhang Changge's interests and I were connected at that time. ”
Zhou Heng listened to the eldest princess's words and made a categorical guarantee, "Don't worry, I will be cautious and careful, and nothing will go wrong." ”
The eldest princess of the protector was relieved, looked at the corner of the wall, and let people lead them out, before leaning on the pillow and closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.
It is said that it is a false sleep, but in fact, there are thousands of thoughts in my heart.
From the moment I saw the woman named 'Aunt Ji', I had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Although she couldn't see any traces of Jing Ning on her face, she could recognize those eyes, no matter who they were on, that belonged to her daughter Jing Ning.
If she is Jingning, why is she close at hand, not with her mother, and not with Niannian's daughter?
If she's not Jing Ning, then who is she?
Aunt Ji...... Lucky...... Week...... She suddenly rolled over from the couch.
So coincidentally?
Seeing her suddenly get up, Mama Su stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”
The eldest princess was still immersed in this too coincidental coincidence, and did not come back to her senses.
She instructed Mama Su, "Let the carriage room prepare the car, I will go to the Jin Palace." ”
Mama Su looked at the sky outside, and then looked at the leak in the corner, and comforted, "Your Highness, it's late, the weather is so hot, it's about to rain hard, and when the rain stops at dawn, let's go see the cousin again." ”
The eldest princess came back to her senses and said 'oh', "It's me who is stunned, anyway, the people are still there, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
Under the service of Mama Su, she took off her clothes and lay down on the bed, never falling asleep for a long time.
……
Astragalus's injury this time was very serious, the blood was about to drain at that time, Zhang Chunzi was not there, Gu Nian went to the emperor to ask Xu Yuan to come to her for diagnosis and treatment, and then pulled her back from the ghost gate.
The wound that has been recuperating for a period of time is still extremely weak, and his face is almost transparent.
Jing Ning fed the astragalus to take medicine, wiped the medicinal juice she flowed out with a pat, tucked the corners of the quilt, held the empty medicine bowl in her hand, and looked at the sleeping face of the astragalus, motionless, as if petrified there.
For a long time, she touched the scar on her face, she was also injured as seriously as astragalus back then, and she had forgotten how to survive it at that time.
She shook her head, unwilling to think about what had passed.
Now, she is so close to her daughter, and she has been so close to her mother, her mother's middle qi is still so full, and she is also very happy, she is already very content.
As for recognition, there is no need.
She looked at the burden in the corner that had never been touched, and made up her mind.
