135 The Real Murderer (1st Shift)
Gu Chengfeng wanted to explain a few words for his younger brother, but the eldest brother's aura completely cooled down, and he was so frightened that he was incoherent.
He is really strange to Yao at this time, why did he suddenly say that he was gone when he looked angry on weekdays? Let her make such a fuss, she can't hold anything back, and what she doesn't have has become.
"Big brother......" Gu Chengfeng spoke.
"Shut up!" Gu Changqing shouted coldly, turned his head to look at Gu Chenglin, "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel for me!" Don't get up without my command! β
"Big brother!" Gu Chenglin suddenly changed color.
Just now he just asked him to go to the study to kneel, and now it directly becomes going to the ancestral hall?
The ancestral hall enshrines the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors, and it is common to go there only if you have made an unforgivable mistake.
Gu Chenglin didn't do it: "I'm better than going to the ancestral hall!" β
"You have to go, you have to go, you have to go if you don't go!" As soon as Gu Changqing's voice fell, he directly grabbed Gu Chenglin's collar.
Gu Chenglin was already beaten by Gu Jiao, and if he let the eldest brother pull him like this, he felt that his neck almost fell off!
Gu Changqing threw the person to the ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion, and left two guards to guard it: "Don't give him anything to eat, and don't give him water to drink." β
Gu Chengfeng grabbed the eldest brother's arm: "Big brother, the third brother is not lightly injured, you punish him like this...... Aren't you afraid that he will be cold? β
Gu Changqing said coldly: "He is cold, others are not cold?" β
Gu Chengfeng defended: "That kid is an outsider after all, do you want to punish your own brother for an outsider?" You forgot that your mother asked you to take care of me and my third brother before she died, and you swore in front of your mother's bed that you would not allow anyone to bully us! But look, how do you do it? β
Gu Changqing glanced at him deeply: "You also go and kneel." β
Gu Chengfeng was stunned.
After Gu Changqing locked his two younger brothers in the ancestral hall, he turned around and went back to the courtyard.
In the meantime, Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin's servants came to bring food to the two, but they were all stopped by the guards at the door.
The little guys couldn't, so they had to ask for Songheyuan.
"What do you say? Lin Er and Feng'er were imprisoned in the ancestral hall by them? "Old Madam Gu just asked someone to wipe her forehead and was going to rest, and when she heard the news, she hurriedly asked the maid to comb her hair back on you.
Gu Chenglin's personal servant said with a sad face: "Yes, old lady, the two sons have been locked up!" The third prince is still injured on his body, and he will be locked up for a night without eating or drinking, I'm afraid he will die-"
Old Madam Gu was angry, and hurriedly asked her subordinate Mama Cai to go to the ancestral hall to bring people out.
After a while, Mama Cai came to reply: "Old lady, those two guards said that they can't release people without the order of the prince!" β
"It's the other way around!" Old Madam Gu slapped the table and said to Mama Cai, "What about the sons of the world?" Call him! β
"The prince just went out and is not in the house." Mama Cai said.
Old Madam Gu thought of her precious grandson, her heart hurt and angry, among the three grandchildren, the old marquis valued the eldest grandson the most, but the old lady Gu spoiled the grandson the most, Gu Chenglin's unobtrusive temperament, most of which were used to by Mrs. Gu.
"I'll go myself!"
The Hou Mansion covers a large area, and it takes a quarter of an hour to walk from the Songhe Courtyard to the ancestral hall, and the old lady Gu couldn't wait to walk over slowly, and directly asked the subordinates to prepare a sliding rod.
When she arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, the two guards on guard saluted her: "Old lady." β
Old Madam Gu held Mama Cai's arm with one hand, and pointed to the noses of the two with the other: "Do you still know who I am, I will also be the Hou Mansion and you will be in charge!" Don't hurry up and release the second and third sons! β
The two guards didn't move.
Old Madam Gu's eyes were like torches: "What?" Now what I'm saying is useless? β
One of the guards said, "This is the order of the prince, and the subordinates dare not disobey it." β
"I'm his grandmother!" Old Madam Gu was angry and asked the subordinate on the side, "What about Master Hou?" β
The subordinate said: "Master Hou is not in the mansion either." β
Gu Houye has been away from the court for so long, and official business has already piled up, and he has been busy dealing with official business for the past few days.
Old Madam Gu felt that her liver hurt with anger: "Then it's okay for me to go in and see them, right?" β
The prince only explained that no one was allowed to send food and drink, but he did not say that no one was allowed to visit.
The two made way for Old Madam Gu.
Old Madam Gu hurriedly entered the ancestral hall.
Gu Chengfeng was honestly kneeling on the mat at this time, Gu Chenglin was so injured that he couldn't kneel anymore, so he was half-lying on the ground, describing how miserable and miserable it was.
Old Madam Gu's heart throbbed, she hurriedly rushed over, knelt on the mat and hugged her baby grandson into her arms: "Lin'er, what's wrong with you?" Who hurt you like this? β
As soon as Gu Chenglin saw Old Madam Gu, tears came up: "Grandmother-you have to be the master of Sun [Jiujiu fo]'s sonββ"
Gu Chenglin told Mrs. Gu about his painful experience, he knew that his grandmother favored him, and he believed everything his grandmother said, so he was completely open-mouthed, without thinking about logic at all.
"I didn't touch him, I didn't touch him at all, he recognized me as his third brother, and he hated me for bullying him when I was a child, so he called his sister to beat me!"
"That girl grew up in the countryside, fed pigs and farmed a lot, with brute strength, she didn't have a lot of weight!"
"I also care that she is my sister, and it is difficult to do anything with her...... Whining...... Grandmother ......"
"As a result, my eldest brother punished me ......"
"Big brother doesn't believe me......"
"Grandmother...... Ahh
Gu Chenglin snorted and cried, crying miserably.
Old Madam Gu's heart was broken!
She said to the guards outside, "If you don't let me take them out today, I'll die here!" β
The guards were also in a difficult situation.
They can't help but listen to the prince's orders, but they can't really let Old Madam Gu make a mess here.
Fortunately, Gu Changqing just went to deal with a little thing, and soon returned home.
After hearing the news, he went to the ancestral hall.
Old Madam Gu actually values her eldest grandson very much, but the relationship between people sometimes needs to be maintained a little, Gu Changqing trains with the old marquis all the year round, and is not often by the old lady's side.
He is not like his two younger brothers who can be coquettish, so the relationship with the old lady is not as close as that of the two younger brothers and the old lady.
Old Madam Gu thought that he was the eldest brother, and he actually treated her own brother so cruelly, she was so angry that she couldn't wait to use the family method against him: "Open your eyes and see, what have you done to your younger brother?" β
Gu Changqing said with a straight face: "Grandmother, the ancestral hall is cold, you better go back to Songhe Courtyard, beware of catching a cold." β
Old Madam Gu gritted her teeth and said, "You also know that the ancestral hall is cold!" Aren't you afraid that your brother will catch a cold? Look at what he's hurting like? You don't avenge him, but punish him in turn? How do you do Big Brother's? β
Gu Changqing glanced at Gu Chenglin coldly.
Gu Changlu lowered his head weakly, not daring to meet the sharp eyes of the eldest brother.
Old Madam Gu said coldly, "What are you glaring at him for?" You have the ability to come to me! β
Gu Changqing said lightly: "He made a mistake himself, and he knows it in his heart." β
Old Madam Gu said angrily: "What did he do? β
With the old lady supporting herself, Gu Chenglin was a lot bolder: "Yes, big brother, I said I didn't do anything, why don't you believe me?" β
Gu Changqing's eyes were cold: "Gu Yan almost died." β
Old Madam Gu was unhappy: "Yao said that her son almost died, is he really almost dead?" You don't believe in your brother, but you believe in an outsider? β
I rescued the man, I fed the medicine, and I saw him in front of me...... He almost died.
Gu Changqing didn't say these words.
Because even if they said it, they would think that Gu Yan's injury must have been done by Gu Chenglin? You, the eldest brother, saw Gu Chenglin kidnapping Gu Yan with your own eyes?
Who knows who he offended outside, but he counted it on Gu Chenglin's head with a small belly!
Gu Changqing is not favoring Gu Yan, the whole thing has little to do with whether the other party is Gu Yan or not, what matters is Gu Chenglin's character.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how would Gu Changqing dare to believe that his own brother had grown crooked like this?
Gu Changqing said that he would not let go of anyone, so angry that Mrs. Gu asked for family law and asked him to kneel in front of the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors to be punished.
One after another, the ring rulers were knocked down, and Gu Changqing didn't snort.
"Will you let your brother out?"
"Don't let it go!"
Old Madam Gu was so angry that her hand shook, and she slapped a ring ruler on Gu Changqing's face.
Old Madam Gu was stunned for a moment.
"Grandmother! Stop it! Gu Chengfeng hugged Old Madam Gu's arm.
At this time, Aunt Ling also arrived.
She persuaded Old Madam Gu to go back.
"Okay, I don't let Lin Er bring food, but I always have to ask the government doctor to treat his injuries, so that it is convenient for him to kneel in a proper manner."
Aunt Ling is a very smart woman, and she can always find a way to compromise between the two parties.
Gu Changqing didn't say anything and went back to his yard.
"Go and call the house doctor." Aunt Ling commanded.
"Yes." The maid should go down.
The maid went to ask for a doctor, and Aunt Ling went to Gu Changqing's courtyard: "I saw that your face was injured, so I brought you some gold sore medicine." β
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Gu Changqing's little servant was already rubbing medicine on him.
She smiled, walked over and said, "Huh? Isn't this like the gold sore medicine in our house, but the new medicine in the barracks? β
Gu Changqing paused: "No, it was given by the doctor outside." β
"How can you use the medicine outside? Let's use the house. Aunt Ling handed over the gold sore medicine in her hand.
Gu Changqing said lightly: "No, this is very good." β
Aunt Ling was stunned for a moment, and withdrew the golden sore medicine with a smile: "Okay, listen to you." β
After a pause, she said again: "Changqing, this is a matter between your brothers, it stands to reason that I, as an aunt, should not interfere, but Chenglin is your own brother in the end, no matter how much he is, you should not condemn him just by the words of his wife." I'm not saying you're wrong, it's just that doing so will make Cheng Lin think that you are biased towards Madame and don't hurt him anymore. β
Gu Changqing said: "If I am fair once and I am biased towards others, then what is my connivance with him in the past?" β
Aunt Ling was speechless, and said after a while: "But he is your younger brother, you should love your younger brother......
Gu Changqing didn't continue the topic, but changed the conversation: "Auntie, is my mother really killed by the Yao family?" β
Aunt Ling looked at him strangely: "Why do you suddenly ask that?" β
Gu Changqing said thoughtfully: "There have always been rumors in the house that it was the Yao family who killed my mother. β
Aunt Ling smiled faintly: "There is no evidence of these, just listen to it, don't really take it to heart." β
Gu Changqing said: "I have evidence, and it is because of the evidence that I have believed it for so many years." β
"What evidence?" Aunt Ling asked.
Gu Changqing said: "During my mother's illness, someone wrote a letter to my father, roughly expressing his heart to my father and asking when my father would marry her into the house. The letter fell into my mother's hands, and my mother's condition worsened. β
Aunt Ling was shocked: "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to my sister." β
Gu Changqing recalled: "Yao is my mother's friend, she frequently went in and out of the Hou Mansion during those days, and someone saw Yao secretly put this letter into my father's study. A few days later, my mother called Yao and openly asked her if she wanted to be my father's steproom, and I stood outside the door and eavesdropped, and I would not resent her for so many years if she said yes. β
Aunt Ling's eyes widened: "Did she reject her sister?" Then why do you still write ......"
Gu Changqing said: "Pretending to be high in front of my mother, but behind my back, I already have a head and tail with my father." Do you think my mother was by her? β
Aunt Ling laughed dryly and said, "Since there is so much evidence, why did you just ask Yao if he was the murderer who killed your mother?" β
Gu Changqing said with a straight face: "Because she said today that she didn't do anything to be sorry for us." β
Aunt Ling smiled lightly: "She said you believed it?" β
Gu Changqing pinched the dagger that had been taken away from Yao's body: "She came here today with the determination to die, she is going to die, why is there any need to lie?" β
Aunt Ling said, "Maybe it's for her child?" β
Gu Changqing said: "Gu Yan has his sister, and it is not rare to have the property of the Hou Mansion. β
Aunt Ling smiled faintly: "This is also what she said?" β
Gu Changqing shook his head, Yao did say so, but it was more from him Gu Jiao and Gu Yan: "Auntie, you say, who will really kill my mother?" β
Aunt Ling shook her hand.
