Song Zixun's gaze swept lightly over her red skirt, "I heard that since Mrs. Huo's death, Huo Yuanwai has not continued to ......" He raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Isn't the rumor wrong?" ”

Gu's pretty face turned white.

Although there has always been a rule among the people that concubines cannot wear big red, but in some people who are not particular, this kind of thing is not uncommon, but the people do not sue the officials and do not hold them accountable...... Now that he was pointed out so bluntly, Huo Yuanwai's face suddenly became a little unpleasant.

He glared at Gu Shi unhappily and said, "This is Huo's aunt Gu Shi...... The village woman didn't understand the rules, so she made Lord Song laugh. ”

Song Zixun showed a meaningful expression and nodded, "I see." And he spoke no more.

Du Rongzhi listened silently on the side, and pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief.

This guy has been owing more and more to her heart lately...... Then he smiled softly, "Aunt Gu, let's meet again." ”

Song Zixun looked at her lightly, "You know each other?" ”

Du Rongzhi nodded cooperatively, "I've seen ...... twice"

Gu Shi hurriedly collected the tears in her eyes, and before she could continue, she hurriedly said with a cowardly face, "Mrs. Song, at the beginning, I blamed the concubine for being ignorant, and connived at the girl to surprise Mrs. ...... Now Xiaohong has died ...... death," she said and leaned down deeply towards Du Rongzhi, and said with sadness, "I hope that Madame will look at the deceased...... Forgive her for her unintentional mistakes. ”

Yuan Yuan was suddenly angry - it was obvious that this woman looked down on people with her eyes, and the girl was like this, and now she still had the face to push on the dead man...... She stepped forward and was about to refute, but saw Du Rongzhi shaking her head at her.

Yuan Yuan pursed her lips and reluctantly retreated behind her.

Du Rongzhi was very surprised in her heart. Although she had already heard the housekeeper tell her about the situation when she came in before, she only knew that it was the girl next to the Gu family who died tragically, and she had no way of knowing because Song Zixun didn't have time to ask in detail. But now listen to Gu's meaning...... Du Rongzhi couldn't help but quickly recall the appearance of the maid in her mind, and only vaguely remembered that she was a neat and neat girl, and her eyes were even more shrewd......

She was the one who died?

Du Rongzhi thought about it at this point, and couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment on her face, "I looked at a person who was still alive a few days ago, how do you know that there is no more...... It's really impermanent. ”

"Madame is right......" Gu wept, "Although Xiaohong is just the maid of the concubine, she has served the concubine for many years, and the concubine has long regarded her as a relative, and now it is gone, the concubine is ...... in her heart."

Du Rongzhi nodded sympathetically, "Aunt is kind-hearted......"

Gu then beat the snake with the stick, "Don't hide it from Mrs. ...... Xiaohong was still blaming herself for Mrs. Tang Tu's matter a few days ago...... Now that she's gone, there's only one unfulfilled wish......"

Du Rongzhi sneered in her heart, and just waved her hand disapprerovingly, "I have long forgotten about the events of that day, and Aunt Gu doesn't need to mention it again." ”

Aunt Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "The concubine thanked Mrs. for a lot on her behalf...... If Xiaohong knew underground, she would be able to look at it if she wanted to—"

"How can I be blind when I die inexplicably...... That's a funny thing to say. Before she finished speaking, she heard Yuan Yuan behind Du Rongzhi muttering in a low voice.

Du Rongzhi frowned and scolded lightly, "Mouthy." ”

Aunt Gu's expression paused slightly, her face stiffened and clenched her veil, "What the girl said is ......"

Song Zixun saw that they were talking about how lively they were, so he stood up and shook his robe, and said to Du Rongzhi, "You sit here, and I'll go to the courtyard where the incident happened." ”

Huo Yuanwai hurriedly said, "Huo Mou leads the way for Lord Song." ”678

Song Zixun bowed slightly, "There is labor." ”

"Lord Song is polite." Huo Yuanwai arched his hand, and instructed the Gu family, "You are so good to entertain Mrs. Song." ”

Aunt Gu hurriedly said respectfully, "Don't worry, master." ”

……………………

When the men went out, Gu asked his subordinates to go to the yard to pick fresh fruits for Du Rongzhi to taste.

"My lord has long wanted to invite Lord Song and his wife to come to the house as guests, but he doesn't want the two of them to come to the door for the first time in this situation......" Gu personally poured tea for Du Rongzhi with a flattering face.

Du Rongzhi smiled lightly, "Aunt Gu doesn't have to be polite, sit down and talk." ”

Gu was so frightened by Xiaohong's death before, and since Song Zixun and his wife came, they have been standing for so long, and now they are also a little weak, so they confessed their guilt, but they didn't dare to sit opposite Du Rongzhi seriously, so they only asked their subordinates to take a pestle and sit on it.

I heard Du Rongzhi say softly, "I just heard from the housekeeper that Xiaohong's body was found in Mrs. Xianhuo's yard this morning?" ”

Gu's eyes flickered, and he replied cautiously, "Yes." ”

Du Rongzhi nodded, thought about it, and asked again, "I don't know who lives in Mrs. Xianhuo's yard now?" ”

Gu pursed his lips and said carefully, "After Madame passed away, my lord left the yard idle for fear of seeing things and thinking about people......

Du Rongzhi bowed slightly, "I have heard that Huo Yuanwai and Mrs. Huo are childhood sweethearts, and the couple have a deep relationship. Mrs. Huo died in childbirth...... Huo Yuanwai must be very sad, right? She said casually, a pair of clear eyes looked at Gu's expression quietly.

Gu Shi was slightly stunned, and a strange look of ruthlessness and horror suddenly appeared on his face...... She hurriedly lowered her eyes to block the emotions in her eyes, and said softly, "Yes...... My wife is dignified and generous, gentle and virtuous, and we have known my lord since childhood...... After the lady went, the lord was really sad for a long time. ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't hear Du Rongzhi's response for a long time.

Gu Shi was surprised, raised his eyes, but saw Du Rongzhi holding a tea cup in his hand, and he didn't know what he thought of for a while, and his childish face was a little stunned.

seemed to feel the surprised gaze cast by the other party, Du Rongzhi came back to her senses and smiled at her, "Huo Yuanwai is also a person of great affection." ”

Gu nodded in agreement, and saw a girl walking in quickly outside, whispering a few words in Gu's ear.

Gu Shi said to Du Rongzhi with a smile, "I am very embarrassed to delay Lord Song's rest today...... I wanted to invite Lord Song and Mrs. Song to stay for a light meal, but Lord Song said that he wanted to ask Mrs. what she meant...... I wonder if Mrs. Song can enjoy the light? ”

Du Rongzhi smiled lightly, "Won't it be too annoying?" ”

Gu Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's too late for us to be happy...... Please give us this opportunity. ”

Du Rongzhi smiled lightly, "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

……

Not only did he have a meal to invite guests, but he still invited the county magistrate and his wife, and the Gu family had to go to the kitchen to arrange it in person. In this way, Du Rongzhi naturally put forward a request to go to the Huo Mansion Garden.

Gu Shi didn't disagree, and hurriedly ordered a clever little girl to guide Du Rongzhi, and he took a few mothers-in-law to the kitchen.
