Scholar Gu wanted to send his old wife out, so he asked Gu Yilan in private. But Mrs. Gu, who was worried, resolutely demanded this time that she must be present to listen.

In front of the couple of scholars Gu, Gu Yilan, as planned before, poured beans into a bamboo tube for scholars Gu Wenbin's suspicions about He Wenmao, the emperor's attitude, etc.

The amount of information in her words was too much, and Scholar Gu almost didn't react. And Mrs. Gu on the side was almost stunned. She stood up from the chair suddenly, grabbed Gu Yilan's hand, and asked in a trembling voice, "The emperor suspects that it is the household department?" Ninth sister, don't make fun of this kind of thing! ”

Gu Yilan looked at Mrs. Gu with a sad look, but it was Scholar Gu, and after being stunned for two seconds, she pressed her old wife to the chair, and said in a low voice: "You don't need to ask this." Otherwise, why did the ninth sister run back in such a hurry. She just had an accident at home, and when she returned to her parents' house at this time, her mother-in-law would definitely give her a look, and she couldn't take care of anything, which showed that the matter was urgent. ”

"Naturally, we have to be in a hurry." Mrs. Gu replied anxiously: "Lan'er's father is the head of the household department, and the accounts of the household department are all from him. ”

"Let me ask you," Senior Scholar Gu stared at Gu Yilan with a serious expression: "Are you sure that the evidence that Jiang Shilang gave to your family was all stored in Xie Changjing's hands before?" ”

"It was Lord Jiang himself." Gu Yilan nodded very surely: "Lord Jiang said that this evidence was given to him for storage when Lord Xiao Xie was in the Imperial History Tower. Yesterday at noon, Lord Jiang went to Xie's house to ask for it back, and after getting it back, he didn't delay, he went directly to our house and handed it over to his grandmother. ”

"I'm afraid things aren't good." Senior Scholar Gu frowned fiercely: "Xie Changjing is a household servant right now, and he is willing to take out those evidences so happily, I'm afraid he is paving the way for himself." It can be seen that Xie Changjing also thinks that He Wenmao has a problem. ”

"Yesterday, Lord Jiang was at our house, and he did say a few words for Lord Xiao Xie." Gu Yilan replied: "Grandfather, it is because of this that the granddaughter is in a hurry. Xiao Xie knows, then Xie Xiang must also know. And you and your father are still in the dark. Moreover, Master Jiang made it clear yesterday that if this matter is really related to Zhao Zhiliang, then Li Xiang also knows. ”

"We also have to do some preparation in advance." Scholar Gu's face sank like water: "It's too late when you're really implicated." ”

"I'm afraid that being implicated is light." Gu Yilan replied nervously: "Father is the head of the branch, I'm just afraid that they let my father be a ready-made scapegoat." Grandfather, He Wenmao is the person of King Yi! Even if King Shin finds out the problem in the household department, I am afraid that it will take some effort to bring him down. ”

"Heh......" Scholar Gu's expression was even more gloomy: "He Wenmao is the person of King Yi, and Li Xiang is also the person of King Yi...... Yi Wang ...... Scold! No wonder yesterday at the door of the duty room, I said a few words to my own granddaughter, and Li Xiang also came out to care. ”

Gu Yilan was reborn in two lives, so she naturally knew her grandfather very well. Seeing Scholar Gu's expression, she understood that this trip back to her parents' house, she had already achieved two goals. First, as she expected before, in order to keep his son from being implicated, Scholar Gu will definitely fully support King Xin and the Duke of Anguo to thoroughly investigate the truth.

Second, Scholar Gu was already doubting whether King Yi would be an ideal candidate for the throne. As a product of the dynasty, it is impossible for Gu Daxue to be alone in the battle for the storage position. But in the same way, just like Xie Xiang, as a member of the Great Zhou Product, it is a very particular thing to choose who to be your supporter. Nuancai Literature Network

He has to consider not only the interests of his family, but also the direction of the future situation and the value of the future prince candidate to the country. This is, after all, a state affair.

"Ninth sister!" Mrs. Gu stood up, held Gu Yilan's hand, and said with a serious and earnest expression: "Fortunately, you are clever and know how to deliver a message to the family in time." Grandmother knows that you have always been a good and filial child. ”

"Don't go back today." After thinking for a while, Scholar Gu replied, "Stay overnight." If you come and go back today, it will seem that you deliberately went home to report the news, so that people with intentions are suspicious. ”

"But something happened to the ninth sister's mother-in-law's house, and she shouldn't have gone back to her parents' house at this time." Mrs. Gu looked very worried: "If you don't go today, the old lady of Anguo Mansion is afraid that she will be more accountant." ”

"Don't be afraid, we will personally bring the ninth sister to the door tomorrow to 'apologize'." Scholar Gu waved his hand at Mrs. Gu: "Something happened to my mother-in-law's family, but my granddaughter ran back to her parents' house, it is my grandfather's responsibility to raise me, and it is also appropriate for the two of us to come to the door to apologize." You also know that the Anguo Mansion doesn't interact with in-laws on weekdays, so we just lack an excuse to come to the door in a bright light. There are some things that I must discuss with the old lady of the Anguo Mansion face to face. ”

"It's okay or fine." Mrs. Gu immediately nodded: "Then let the ninth sister stay overnight." ”

"Let her follow you." Scholar Gu gave another instruct: "I will rest at your place at night." Save the daughters-in-law from asking questions. ”

"That's right," Mrs. Gu nodded: "The third daughter-in-law talks a lot, and the ninth sister lives in my yard more peacefully today." In the in-law's house, I was quiet every morning and dusk, and I was not idle for a moment, so I finally came home and let the ninth sister have a good rest. You don't have to worry about that, I'll take care of it. I'm just worried about the third child. ”

"It's useless for you to worry about it now, wait for the third child to come back in the evening." Scholar Gu replied: "The situation of the household department, I have to ask the third child first. You take the ninth sister back first, don't miss any clues. ”

"I know." While agreeing, Mrs. Gu beckoned to Gu Yilan: "Ninth sister, let's go back first, let your grandfather be quiet and take care of these things." Don't worry, we'll be fine at home. ”

Gu Yilan's goal has been achieved, so naturally she will not stay in the study. She stood up very obediently and followed Mrs. Gu away.

At the moment before she went out, Scholar Gu said again: "Ninth sister, don't worry too much about your mother-in-law's affairs, grandfather will watch it." ”

It's a promise. Gu Yilan understood. She turned around and solemnly saluted Scholar Gu: "Lan'er thanked her grandfather for the Mu family. ”

After his wife and granddaughter left, Scholar Gu stared at the corner of the table with his eyes firmly on the table, and his expression became more and more solemn and gloomy. After a while, as if venting, he suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped it on the desk a few times, and muttered: "A nest of snakes and rats!" A nest of snakes and rats! How can such a person be up to the task! ”
