Before going to bed, Mrs. Gu repeated her previous words again: "Qingshu, just study hard with my husband in the future, and you don't have to worry about family affairs anymore." ”

Qing Shu smiled and added: "I still have to practice martial arts with Master Duan." ”

Old Lady Gu smiled and said, "Yes, I still have to practice martial arts with Master Duan." ”

Lying on the bed, Qingshu suddenly remembered something: "Grandma, it's been seven or eight days since I came back from Fucheng, why hasn't the news of my father's Zhongjinshi been passed yet." Grandma, send someone tomorrow to inquire about this! ”

It always felt like something wasn't quite right.

In the past few days, the house has been busy finding out the traitors, and I don't have the heart to care about the outside affairs. Old Madam Gu nodded and said, "I'll ask the big housekeeper to inquire tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, when Qingshu went to school, the big housekeeper came over and said, "Old lady, Zhong and Ye Jianhong are dead." ”

It was poisoned, and I didn't suffer too much when I left.

Old Lady Gu said expressionlessly: "Just find a place to bury them." ”

It can't be said that she hates, as a mother, she can understand Mother Zhong's choice. But she can't forgive, what if she dies Gu Xian and Qingshu's mother and daughter? Therefore, not letting them burst into the wild is already the greatest mercy.

As for Ye Jianhong, although she was not tried, she was very sure that the other party was involved in this matter. Therefore, she must not let go.

After a pause, Mrs. Gu said: "Star fruit hit forty boards again, and let all the maids and women in the inner courtyard go to watch." Her family was all sold to Liaodong. ”

Liaodong is freezing cold, and ordinary people can't adapt to the climate over there. Whether the star fruit family can survive depends on their own luck.

The butler nodded.

Mrs. Gu said again: "It's been half a month since the test, and there is no news, you go and inquire about the situation." ”

"Yes, old lady."

After ordering all this, the old lady was a little tired: "You take care of the affairs of the house first, and come back later." ”

When Qingshu came back from school, Mrs. Gu told her about it: "Qingshu, do you think I was cruel to deal with Mother Zhong's mother and son and the star fruit family just now?" ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No." In the dream, the ladies and wives also beat the maid who betrayed the master to death. ”

After a pause, Qingshu said: "Grandma, in fact, it's good to be killed or sold directly, but the worst thing is to sell it into a brothel or send it to a lion nunnery, which really makes people worse than dead." ”

Old Lady Gu's brows jumped, but she still endured the discomfort in her heart and said: "The minions who betray their masters should be punished harshly, otherwise others will do things that betray their masters without fear." ”

Qingshu nodded and said, "Grandma, I know." Grandma, when the matter here is over, we will go to Fucheng. ”

There's so much to do here.

In the afternoon, Fu Ran looked at Qingshu and smiled brightly. It seems that yesterday's events did not have much impact on Qingshu.

Living in the Gu family, Fu Ran didn't deliberately inquire about anything. But yesterday's incident was so big that it's hard to think about it.

After the housekeeper took care of the affairs of the house, he went to the yamen to inquire about the news. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at Yamen, he came over to say hello to him and said that Lin Chengyu had been hit.

Hearing that the county magistrate had now gone to the Lin family in person to report the good news, the chief housekeeper went back.

The catcher muttered: "How do you know that your aunt didn't smile at all when he was admitted to the Jinshi?" ”

The other catcher gave him a roll of the eyes: "You don't remember, the aunt and grandmother of the Gu family fell off the cliff and couldn't even find the corpse." Now that Master Lin has been admitted to the Jinshi, how can you make him happy. ”

The catcher quickly knocked his head: "Look at my memory, I forgot about it." ”

Seeing Mrs. Gu, the big housekeeper said to him: "The old lady is so happy, my uncle has passed the Jinshi examination." ”

Old Lady Gu's face was a little complicated.

The chief butler hesitated and said, "Old lady, is it time to let my aunt and grandmother come back?" ”

Although Mrs. Gu didn't tell her, the big housekeeper guessed that Gu Xian should not be dead. Otherwise, how could the old lady be so calm, not only pretending to be sick and finding out the mole, but also releasing bait to lure out the people behind the scenes.

Mrs. Gu smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaoxian is not dead, but she fell her head and lost her memory when she jumped in the carriage, not to mention Lin Chengyu, even Qingshu she doesn't know anymore." ”

In front of Qing Shu, he deliberately looked sure that Mrs. Qi could take care of Gu Xian. But how can you not be worried? This was just to comfort Qingshu and not want her to worry.

The chief butler looked shocked: "How can this be?" ”

"As soon as Xiaoxian had an accident, I wrote to Lin Chengyu to ask him to come back, and I don't know if he will come back."

If she was sure that Lin Chengyu would come back, but now she is not sure.

The big housekeeper understood the meaning of Mrs. Gu's words: "Old lady, my aunt has always loved my aunt and grandmother. ”

The main reason is that Lin Chengyu behaved so well that everyone thought that he really loved Gu Xian, even Mrs. Gu thought so before.

Mrs. Gu had no intention of arguing about this: "I also hope that I think too much." Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now, for now we must bring out the people behind this curtain as soon as possible. If this person is not removed, I will not be able to sleep and eat. ”

At noon, when Qingshu came back from school, he saw Weilan and Yue Xiangxiang: "Aunt Lan, Sister Xiangxiang, you are here." ”

Weilan took Qingshu's hand, and his expression was a little complicated: "Qingshu, your father has won the Jinshi." ”

If Gu Xian was still alive, it would definitely be good news, but now there is only sighing left.

Qingshu lowered his head and said, "I wrote to my father that my mother had an accident and I don't know when he will come back." ”

Wei Lan sighed invisibly: "Xiangxiang, haven't you been talking about coming to see Qingshu for the past two days?" You two go into the house and talk. ”

After entering the house, Yue Xiangxiang said with a bitter face: "Qingshu, your father has been admitted to the Jinshi, I should have congratulated you." But I don't think it's a good thing, and I really can't say anything about it. ”

"Then don't say it."

Yue Xiangxiang said with a sad face: "Aunt Xian is gone, your father will definitely marry again." There are stepmother's children, and those are all poor little cabbages. ”

Qingshu couldn't cry or laugh: "You don't have to worry about me." With my grandmother here, no one can bully me and An An. ”

Yue Xiangxiang was not so optimistic, she said: "If your father comes to pick up the two of you sisters to the capital, it will be difficult for Grandma Gu to stop you at that time!" ”

Qingshu said: "You don't have to worry about this, An An and I won't go to the capital for the time being." ”

Seeing that Qingshu was so determined, Yue Xiangxiang nodded and said, "Then it's best to wait until you grow up before going to the capital, so that you won't be afraid of your stepmother being bad." ”

Qingshu changed the topic: "You've been sick for so long, you should have missed a lot of homework!" ”

The last time Yue Xiangxiang came to visit, she fell ill the next day, and she didn't recover until the day before yesterday.

Yue Xiangxiang put her ear close to Qingshu and said, "Actually, my illness has long been cured, but I just don't want to go to school." What Mr. Xu said was so boring that I was so irritable to listen to it. ”

……

Qingshu said: "Be careful, Aunt Lan knows to beat you." ”

Yue Xiangxiang hugged Qingshu and bit her ear and said, "As long as you don't say it, my mother won't know." ”
