Early the next morning, Gu Yilan really packed her things and prepared to go back to her parents' house. In fact, there was nothing to pack, because she went back to her parents' house this time, and she didn't even bring gifts, and when she went back empty-handed, she brought a few clothes with her.

Gu Yilan left Fang Zhi in the Anguo Mansion, and only took Fang Xin alone, so she casually and simply took a carriage to Gu University's Mansion.

However, Gu Yilan was still received extremely warmly. When she got out of the carriage, she was empty-handed, so rude, but no one in the Gu University Scholar's Mansion, who had always been extremely polite, dared to say a word of gossip.

Mrs. Gu sent a substitute grandmother to the door to greet Gu Yilan, and she was directly greeted to Mrs. Gu's yard as soon as she got out of the carriage.

Gu Yilan's husband's family had just had an accident, and the Gu family knew about it, so Gu San's grandmother heard that her daughter had come back suddenly, and she was originally very active in coming over to care about her daughter's husband's family, but she didn't expect to arrive at the gate of Mrs. Gu's courtyard, but she had a closed door.

Gu Er's grandmother, who was also closed-door, couldn't help but say two sour words: "I thought that the third brother and sister were my own mother, and they always had a bigger face than our aunts and uncles!" I didn't expect to be turned away too! These nine sisters have become fateful, and in the end, their identities are not ordinary, and the pomp and circumstance of returning to their parents' house is getting bigger and bigger. ”

"Not really." Grandma Gu Si couldn't help but add: "I heard that the ninth sister came to the door this time, but she came empty-handed." Yesterday there was an accident in the Anguo Mansion, and today she will come to the door. In such a hurry, I'm afraid that I didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but I came to ask our old man for help. got married, and my mother's family didn't go back a few times, but there were a lot of things. ”

Grandma Gu San's face was a little unbearable, she snorted coldly, and pushed back unceremoniously: "It was my mother who had something to say to our Lan'er, so she stopped her from entering, what is the matter with our Lan'er?" This is the Gu family, Lan'er's maiden home, my daughter can come back whenever she wants, is it difficult to go back home, and she still needs to find the second sister-in-law and the fourth brother and sister for advice? The marriage of the sixth sister is just around the corner, doesn't the second sister-in-law want to tell me that when the sixth sister returns to her parents' house in the future, she must first discuss with my uncle? ”

Second Grandma Gu and Fourth Grandma Gu were choked by Grandma Gu San, the two glanced at each other, turned around and left. Grandma Gu, who was standing on the side and didn't say anything, didn't stay long, and soon turned around and left. When everyone was gone, Grandma Gu San complained in a low voice: "Really! Anyway, I'm also my own mother, so it's just that I don't let others see it, so I can't even go in. ”

The maid who was sent by Mrs. Gu to guard the door didn't dare to answer, so she had to smile awkwardly at Mrs. Gu. Grandma Gu San turned around with a stupid face, and left a little maid at Mrs. Gu's door before leaving.

"You wait here," Grandma Gu San advised, "As soon as Miss Nine comes out, invite her to me immediately." ”

"Third grandmother rest assured," the little maid replied with a grin, "The slave can save it." ”

The people outside the door dispersed, and inside the door, Mrs. Gu and Gu Yilan's ancestors were sitting opposite each other with serious expressions, and the maids and servants were all sent out.

"Ninth sister, is there anything big about you coming back this time?" Mrs. Gu asked, "Your grandfather only came home in the middle of the night yesterday, and the first thing he said when he came back was to tell me, saying that you would come back in the next two days." Your grandfather said that as soon as you come back, he will ask me to send him a letter to the yamen. I had a suspicion in my heart yesterday, and it was the first time he had told me so cautiously about such a thing. ”

"I entered the palace with my mother-in-law yesterday." Gu Yilan replied: "There are some things that must be told to my grandfather in person, but yesterday near the palace gate, before I could speak, Li Xiang came out." ”

Gu Yilan's words were thoughtless, and she also brought out Li Xiang, but it made Mrs. Gu's expression more serious and cautious. 88

She frowned and lowered her voice and asked, "Is there really a big deal?!" What does your husband's family have to do with this incident? Could it be that it is ...... to become a prince of Anguo"

"Grandmother," Gu Yilan glanced nervously in the direction of the window, and interrupted Mrs. Gu's words in a low voice: "You are right, the cause of the matter is in our Anguo Mansion. But I came back this time for our family. ”

"For our family?!" Mrs. Gu looked surprised: "What does the accident between the fifth and sixth sons of your house have to do with our family?!" No one in our family is in the military department, and no one is in Jin Lingwei, I heard about this incident, the emperor sent King Xin to investigate thoroughly, and it has nothing to do with your grandfather. No matter where this matter is calculated, it has nothing to do with our family! ”

"Grandmother...... I ......" Gu Yilan opened her mouth, her expression seemed to be more anxious, she looked like she didn't know how to speak, which made Mrs. Gu even more worried.

"You have something to say." Mrs. Gu said: "You were raised by me personally, in front of me, what is wrong with you." ”

"I can't say anything about this matter," Gu Yilan replied by tugging at Mrs. Gu's sleeve, "I still need to ask my grandfather." I don't know how to sort things out right now. ”

As the grandfather and grandson were talking, the voice of Mrs. Gu's personal maid suddenly came from outside. The maid raised her voice to report: "Madam, the master has come back with a message, let Miss Nine go to the outer study to wait for him." ”

"How did you come back so soon?" Mrs. Gu was a little shocked: "Didn't Miss Nine send someone to the yamen when she got off the carriage?" ”

"The errand boy we sent hasn't come back yet." The maid replied through the window: "It was the old man who sent his personal Chang Sui back, saying that he would see if Miss Nine had returned, and if she came back, let me go to the study and wait." ”

"Let's go." Mrs. Gu stood up before Gu Yilan: "I will go with you to the outer study to wait for your grandfather, he received the news and will be back soon." ”

"Grandmother, I'll go by myself." Gu Yilan also stood up and replied.

"Nope." Mrs. Gu shook her head firmly: "It's not enough for your grandfather to tell me, and you have to send Chang Sui to see if you have come back when you go to the Yamen, so it must be something important." I'm not at ease. ”

Gu Yilan saw that Mrs. Gu was firm, so she didn't say anything, and followed Mrs. Gu to the study.

Scholar Gu was really worried about the affairs of the family, and not long after Mrs. Gu and Gu Yilan arrived in the study, Scholar Gu hurried back in a small sedan chair. The weather was hot, the old man was sweaty, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he hurried into the study in his official uniform.

When Gu Yilan saw Scholar Gu, she just wanted to bend her knees to say hello, but when she saw Scholar Gu impatiently, she waved her hand and said, "The ceremony is exempt." Sit down, I have something to ask you. What's going on in your family? And what did you hear in the palace yesterday? ”
