Tong looked at Gu Lian with a smile: "Lord Gu, let's go home first and settle the internal affairs of your Gu family, and then talk about what to forgive or not." Over the years, this fake has been in the name of my Shen granddaughter, and has caused many troubles and troubles in Kyoto. Your Gu family has always been openly and secretly conniving, and the Xiao family has always loved her as her own daughter, it doesn't look like the expedient measure that Master Gu said at all. ”

Gu Lian sighed in his heart, and quickly looked up to look at Tong, but Tong's expression was not abnormal, as if he was complaining casually, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law, this child is actually pitiful, because of my foolish decision, she was separated from her biological parents, and she never knew her true background. So I do have a lot of indulgence with her on weekdays, and I have told Xiao many times to treat her well. In doing so, I also want to make up for the guilt in my heart, and I also have the meaning of praying, hoping that God can let the people who picked up Ah Ruan treat Ah Ruan well. ”

Tong Shi watched Gu Lian's performance of pretending to be remorseful and painful, and he was so angry that he wanted to scold, but he kept reminding himself not to miss a flaw.

So he sneered: "Lord Gu is really kind-hearted, treating a girl who is brought in can be said to make amends and pray, so what are the concubines that Lord Gu has carried to the mansion all these years for?" In order to soothe Lord Gu's painful and guilty heart for losing his daughter? ”

"Poof—"

Tong's voice was not small, and the people outside the door who were watching the excitement all pricked up their ears and heard her words clearly, and suddenly someone laughed.

The girls present almost laughed, and endured it again.

Lin Ruan also wanted to laugh, but nominally, this Gu Lian was her biological father, so others could laugh, but she couldn't.

But she really wants to applaud Tong, which is too intimidating. Every sentence is on the point, which is really pleasant.

Gu Lian was squeezed by these words, his face turned blue and white for a while, and he was very embarrassed.

The Tong family didn't bother to watch Gu Lian show off his acting skills here, so he directly asked Gu Ruan to be put out of the door of the Shen family, and said: "Lord Gu, your Gu family has deceived our Shen family for ten years, and for the sake of Ah Ruan's return to us, I believe that what you said is true." But please take care of the people in your Gu Mansion, don't come to our Shen family to climb relatives, our Shen family doesn't want to see this person again. ”

Gu Lian had to make repeated promises.

The Tong family was too lazy to entangle with him anymore, so he took Lin Ruan back first, planning to wait for the shameless father and daughter to leave before going out.

Who knew that Gu Lian suddenly said again: "Ah Ruan, when are you going home?" Your grandfather and grandmother miss you very much, they are not in good health, can you go home and see them? ”

Lin Ruan turned around: "Master Gu, are you sure you want me to go to the Gu family?" ”

Gu Lian nodded: "You are the flesh and blood of the Gu family, you have been floating outside for ten years, and our entire Gu family is looking forward to your early return and family reunion." ”

Lin Ruan smiled: "It's okay if you want me to go back, but I have one condition." ”

Gu Lian suddenly looked ecstatic: "You said, whatever conditions my father will promise you." ”

Lin Ruan said loudly: "My condition is very simple, that is, the Gu family wants to hand over all my mother's dowry to me, and no one is missing." I will take the dowry list to compare, one less, and I will not look back at home. ”

The look on Gu Lian's face suddenly froze.

Lin Ruan raised his eyebrows: "Lord Gu doesn't seem to be very happy?" ”

Gu Lian hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not, it's just that your mother was generous back then, and she rewarded a lot of things for her subordinates......"

Lin Ruan covered her lips and smiled: "I don't care about this, I just take the dowry list to compare." My mother's dowry was given to her by my grandmother, and now that my mother is gone, this dowry is naturally reserved for me according to the rules. If you give me anything else from the Gu family, I won't get half a penny. But my mother's things, I want to take them all back. ”

Tong nodded: "This request is not excessive, and it is even reasonable." Master Gu, what do you think? ”

What else can Gu Lian say? I had to pretend to be sincere and said: "Of course, I will go back to the house and let people count Mengjun's dowry, and strive to complete the inventory in the shortest possible time." ”

Tong snorted: "Then we will wait for the news from the Gu Mansion." ”

After speaking, he pulled Lin Ruan away.

Gu Lian looked at the backs of the two, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves.

Shen Mengjun's dowry was really ten miles of red makeup back then, and almost half of the Dingguo Mansion was emptied.

Because he didn't expect Lin Ruan to be alive at all, and there was no rule that his wife had passed away in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the husband's family had to return the dowry, so those dowries had long been regarded by him as private property. He has squandered a lot over the years, and the rest is not even half of it, so it is not easy to get it together in a short time!

He never expected that this daughter, who should have died ten years ago, would be so difficult, and the first condition that came out made him a little overwhelmed.

But now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, he is smashing pots and selling iron, and he has to get those dowries.

Gu Lian slowed down for a while before he got up from the ground and turned around to go home.

Gu Ruan looked at Gu Lian, and then at the gate of the Dingguo Mansion, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Gu Lian glanced back at her: "If you don't want to go back home, I won't force it, I will arrange for someone to send you back to your original family." If you are willing to stay in the Gu family, I will not treat you badly. You are the daughter I have raised for ten years, and even if my biological daughter comes back, I will not care if you live or die. You will be raised in the name of the main mother Xiao as the adopted daughter of the Gu family, and you will marry as a concubine in the future. You have the right to choose freely, and I accept either one. ”

Since it has been decided to take Lin Ruan back, Gu Ruan's identity cannot be exposed, so the original family in Gu Lian's mouth is naturally nowhere to be found.

Gu Ruan's heart trembled, and he immediately heard the meaning of Gu Lian's words, and he shrank his neck and followed him back to Gu's house.

After the parents returned to the Gu family, Gu Ruan was sent back to her courtyard, this time, the courtyard door was not locked again, the Gu family no longer closed her, the gate was open, and she was free to come and go.

In this way, Gu Ruan was honest, and shrank quietly in his yard, not daring to be a little arrogant.

Gu Lian went to Old Madam Gu's courtyard and told Lin Ruan's request.

Old Madam Gu also had a pain in her flesh: "Her request is not excessive, the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty are like this." The mother's dowry originally belonged to the children, and there was such a matter, even if she didn't ask for it, the Shen family would bring it up sooner or later. Since she mentioned it, then count it out and give it to her. ”

Gu Lian looked embarrassed: "Mother, the Shen family's dowry ......"
