Chapter 60: The Past
Wei Ziyi was bored and wandering the streets.
In the past few days, Gu Rongzhi didn't know where to go, she couldn't find anyone, she was upset, and she was depressed, so she walked all the way to Nanlin Street.
But it's okay, although this south street is far away, but fortunately, ordinary young ladies don't want to come here, she can walk on the street freely, and she doesn't have to worry about being seen.
Because of her status as a concubine, she always can't escape a lot of ridicule, and Wei Ziyi's heart is even more uncomfortable.
"Hey, miss, who do you think that's that?" Wei Ziyi was walking boredly, when suddenly the maid on the side suddenly spoke.
"Here, it's hard to meet someone you know, you girl, from going out to now, I'm shocked, see how I go back and clean you up!"
Wei Ziyi was unhappy in his heart, and the maid also hit the muzzle.
Only this time, it's true!
"Miss, this time it's true, you see, isn't that the second miss of Xiangwang's Mansion? The slave will not forget the appearance of the second lady! "Not to mention, some time ago, Wei Ziyi often took her to Xiangwangfu, but it is not uncommon, she will definitely not admit her mistake!
Miss Gu Er, isn't that Gu Xiwu? How could this Gu Xiwu come here?
Wei Ziyi became interested, and looked in the direction pointed by the maid, it was really!
trotted forward to take a look, this Gu Xiwu seemed to be looking for something, which made Wei Ziyi feel even more weird, could it be that there would be someone she was looking for on the south street?
"Sister, what a coincidence, I can actually meet you here!" Wei Ziyi stepped forward, looked at the paper in Gu Xiwu's hand, and was about to reach out to take it, "What is this, it looks like a road map, where is my sister going?" Maybe you listen to your sister, maybe your sister still knows! ”
Wei Ziyi knew there, but she just wanted to know from Gu Xiwu's mouth where she was going.
Gu Xiwu put away the paper in his hand properly, avoiding Wei Ziyi's inquiring gaze.
"I heard that there is a famous fat powder shop on the street in the south of this neighborhood? Just curiously come and take a look. Gu Xiwu lied casually and walked away with Cai Yin.
How could Wei Ziyi not follow, and kept following Gu Xiwu's side, so that she couldn't go on at all.
No, I found two fat powder shops at random, and bought two rouges that might be used, Gu Xiwu said that she was tired, got into the carriage back home, and left.
Wei Ziyi didn't expect Gu Xiwu's movements to be so fast, she just came out of the fat powder shop, and she disappeared from Gu Xiwu.
She also thought that she could take this opportunity to go back to Xiangwang's Mansion with her, who knew that she was like a rabbit and ran so fast!
stomped his foot hard, picked up the newly bought fat powder in the maid's hand and was about to fall to the ground, still distressed about the silver, and then gave up.
……
Gu Xiwu, who returned to Xiangwang's Mansion, recalled a panicked figure he saw before Wei Ziyi suddenly came out.
The man, it seems, knew her?
Things seem to be moving in an unknowable direction, which makes Gu Xiwu want to know even more what happened back then.
Who is the person behind the Lin family?
That's right, on the envelope found in Aunt Qing's room, it was faintly mentioned that it seemed that someone helped the Lin family, which made her act so cheap.
Gu Che, Mo Xuanyin, do they know?
If so, why don't you let her know, could it be that there is something else hidden here?
Doubts lingered in her heart, and the more she didn't let her know, the more she wanted to know what happened back then.
If she went to look for it herself, I was afraid that if it was like today, I was afraid that in a few days, the news that she was looking for something on the south street would be spread.
So she sent a servant and asked him to go along to inquire, and when she found someone, she would come back to report it.
This time, she didn't look for Mo Xuanyin's person, but found a random servant in the house.
Within a day, there was news.
As soon as Gu Xiwu got the news, he hurriedly went to the place.
As soon as the carriage left, Gu Rongzhi, who happened to be in the house, got the news that Gu Xiwu went out.
It's been so many days, it's not a free time, and I really can't meet her to come out, this time, but she asked for it!
Gu Rongzhi couldn't do anything, but it didn't prevent him from looking down on her and making some trouble for her.
Gu Xiwu didn't know at all, there was a person behind him, and he found a place with the little guy.
Knock knock!
The little servant stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, there was a rush of footsteps inside.
"Who is it?"
Squeak!
opened the door and looked at Gu Xiwu, who was dressed noblely outside, and the mother-in-law was obviously stunned.
Whose young lady is this, how did you find their family?
"What is the matter, Miss?" The mother-in-law asked.
"I am the second lady of Xiangwang Mansion, I am here to ask something, may I ask......" Gu Xiwu just said his identity, only to see that the mother-in-law's face changed, and she was busy and was about to close the door.
Seeing this, the little servant hurriedly stepped forward and blocked the door.
"Miss Gu, I, we're just ordinary people, we don't know anything! You'd better look elsewhere! The mother-in-law panicked, and she couldn't close the door, and the fear in her eyes grew stronger.
Gu Xiwu felt strange, how could her mother-in-law see her as if she had seen some beast, and she was scared like this?
The movement outside was very loud, and the people inside heard the movement and came out to see that their mother-in-law was being bullied, and immediately rushed out.
However, this person obviously knew Gu Xiwu, and when he saw her face, he stepped forward in shock and wanted to help his mother-in-law close the door.
"Miss, I can't hold on!" The green tendons on the little guy's neck burst out, obviously unable to withstand the strength of the two.
"Why are you so afraid? What do you know about the events of that year? Gu Xiwu stepped forward and asked.
The door was about to be closed, and the look of fear in the eyes of the two of them was even clearer for Gu Xiwu.
What were they afraid of, what did she not know back then?
"My good sister, what are you doing here? What's so special about this family, why don't you come and help my brother? ”
After Gu Rongzhi finished speaking, regardless of Gu Xiwu's stopping, he asked the people behind him to come forward directly, and he wanted to help them knock the door open.
Gu Xiwu gave the little guy a look, it's not good, it's better to be careful.
The little guy unloaded his strength in his hands, pretending to have no strength, and fell down directly by the way, but he tripped up the people brought by Gu Rongzhi.
"It's nothing special, but you, haven't seen you for many days, don't you dare to come to see me?" Gu Xiwu looked at Gu Rongzhi who didn't plan to stop, and said directly.
Gu Rongzhi sighed in her heart, her eyes were staring at Gu Xiwu's expression, and she secretly guessed in her heart, did she find something?
"What are you talking about, I don't know anything." Gu Rongzhi snorted haha.
"Is that so? In the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Beijing that day, those black-clothed men who chased and killed me didn't say that. Gu Xiwu deliberately said this, and she didn't meet the man in black that day, so she fled.
But Gu Rongzhi didn't know, he couldn't see anything on his face, but he was already panicking in his heart.
He spent a lot of money, and those people, they didn't kill them, they didn't say anything, and they talked nonsense!
No, he has to go to Gu Miaoxuan to discuss countermeasures, his brother-in-law is King Ping, and he happens to be the one who thoroughly investigates this matter.
"I, I remember, I still have important things to do, so let's go, and my sister shouldn't stay outside, although there are emperors guarding on the side, you still have to be careful!"
Before Gu Rongzhi left, he didn't count his anger, and he didn't forget to scare her.
Gu Xiwu didn't look at such childish behavior at all, and looked at his figure walking away, so he was relieved.
Looking back, looking at the door that had already taken advantage of the dead tightness of the mechanism, he thought for a while, but turned to leave.
The people in the room heard the movement outside gradually dissipating, and finally relieved their hearts, the mother-in-law's face was still panicked, but the man calmed down.
"The master, what should I do, this is all coming to the door, and I also asked about the things of the year!" The mother-in-law asked, clutching his clothes tightly.
The man thought that it was not easy to settle down here, who would have thought that such a thing would have happened, "No, we can't stay any longer, let's go somewhere else to hide and avoid the limelight!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the mother-in-law immediately turned around and entered the house, and after a while, she took two bags in her hands, "Then hurry up and leave, stay again, I panic!" ”
Gu Xiwu had just walked on his front foot, and he definitely didn't expect that the people in this house would leave the capital after him and head towards a small town some distance away from the capital.
As soon as she returned to Xiangwang's Mansion, a little servant stopped Gu Xiwu's footsteps and asked her to go to the study, saying that Gu Che was waiting for her.
Gu Xiwu had just come back, and Gu Che was able to know so quickly, which was extremely strange.
"What is the matter with a father looking for his daughter?" Walking into the study, Gu Xiwu asked with a salute towards Gu Che's back who was facing away from her.
When Gu Che heard the sound, he turned his head, but the expression on his face was no longer warm, and the fierce color between his eyebrows was fully revealed.
"Xi'er, stop it. Lin's matter is over, she has also been sentenced to exile, she will not appear in front of us again in the future, the past, let it pass! ”
Gu Xiwu was shocked, how did her father know that she was still investigating the events of the year, Aunt Qing gave her a letter, and she was the only one who had it, and he really knew something.
What was it that made him lose his former softness, and even gave a stern warning in front of her daughter?
I used to think it was weird, but now I feel even more weird.
"Yes, my daughter knows, and my daughter is just curious." Gu Xiwu just said this paradoxically, and she didn't say anything else.
Gu Che knew that his daughter had always been well-behaved, and since she agreed, she would definitely do it.
But this time, it was destined to disappoint him.
