Mo asked that the matter over there had been done, so Jiao Xing came to the Taishi Mansion again to report the progress of Chungui, and what surprised her was that the attitude of the Ju Shy, who had treated her coldly in the past, was completely different this time, and it was a sour plum soup and a greeting of pineapple cake, and she hurriedly instructed a little girl to run errands in the courtyard of the fourth lady to inform the grandmother, and when chatting with her, she even said several "own people", but what is the purpose of Ju Xi, and did not ask her for a word, Jiao Xing's heart suddenly became hot, and she was surprised that she was finally jealous of Mei, Henchmen like Ju Xi are regarded as a group.
But she still had a respectful attitude before returning to the spring, and she didn't dare to laugh like Ju Shy, and when she returned to the situation, she was especially serious and serious: "Jiang Xiong completely believed the words of the Taoist chief, and went to find the father and son of Gu on the same day, and told them that Aunt Gu was ordered by Cheng Shizi to pour wine, and it was not because of a violent illness at all, and Jiang Xiong said that the father and son were also as the Taoist chief expected, although they were indignant and shouted injustice, but when they heard Jiang Xiong's proposal to let them sue the official, they were both timid, Jiang Xiong copied the Taoist chief's statement again, Dao Cheng Shizi actually understood that their father and son knew some inside information, otherwise where would Aunt Gu inexplicably use Rue Xiang to tempt, and she hadn't killed people for a while, she was worried that Aunt Gu had just died not long after her father and brother also suffered a death, which would cause suspicion, and now she was busy with the marriage with the Bachelor's Mansion, and she was afraid of slander, but sooner or later she would cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, unless the father and son fled from Beijing, they had to take the first step to report to the government about a way out, and simply expose this matter, Cheng Shizi would have some scruples. Don't dare to harm them again, and said that the current Shuntian Mansion is a magistrate, and dares to impeach Song Guogong for the death of civilians, even the grandson is not afraid of guilt, he is an iron-faced and selfless character, and he will definitely not cover up Cheng Shizi's crimes and be in the same stream with criminals who disregard the law of the country. โ
After saying what she had to say in one breath, Jiao Xing quickly asked for advice: "The eldest grandmother pointed out Jiang Xiongbu's bureau, of course, she knew in advance that Jiang Xiong was willing to obey the orders of the master to help destroy the corpse, and her mother and mother-in-law were still accomplices in persecuting Aunt Gu, but Jiang Xiong was not as vicious as he was, and he was very in awe of ghosts and gods. But how can the eldest grandmother be sure that Daddy Gu, father and son will obey their words and tell Cheng Shizi to Shi Tuiguan? The slave maid listened to Jiang Xiong's dictation, and speculated that Gu's father and son did not have the courage to confront the powerful and powerful, and they were very puzzled that even if they were afraid that Cheng Shizi would kill people and destroy their mouths, why not simply avoid the capital and hide elsewhere for two or three years? Cheng Shizi is impossible
issued a sea fishing document to Gu's father and the others, where could the two of them escape, they were not guilty, and they were afraid that they would not find a place to settle after leaving Beijing? โ
Jiao Xing hurriedly shouted and asked the doubts in her heart, looking at Chungui with anticipation and worry, that look really made Chungui feel compassionate.
This is because Jiao Xing knows that there are things she shouldn't ask more, but she looks forward to Chungui really treating her as a confidant, and it took a long time to make up her mind to show the urgency of "I want to be closer to my grandmother".
What she asked was not a core secret, there was no need to hide it for Chungui, and Chungui really couldn't bear to hit this girl who was eagerly looking forward to trust and reuse, so he didn't hesitate to relieve her doubts: "The Gu family's father and son are greedy for money, but they don't care about the cause of their daughter's death at all, but there is no doubt that Aunt Gu's death completely cut off the wealth of his father and brother, so that they have no excuse to ask Cheng Shizi for money and silver in the future, how can they be willing?" They were reluctant to sue the official, but also because they were afraid that they would not get the slightest benefit if they angered Cheng Shizi, so when they heard Jiang Xiong explain that Aunt Gu was killed, their plan was to use this as a handle to extort Cheng Shizi a sum of money, so I asked Mo Wen to instruct Jiang Xiong, deliberately saying that Cheng Shizi would kill him sooner or later, and the father and son did not have the courage to die for money, but they were unwilling to sell their homes and flee from the capital.
They can only choose to sue the official, if Cheng Min can be convicted, Cheng Min will not dare to commit murder again if he has scruples, and Cheng Min persecuted the concubine, although the crime is not as good as death, but according to the law, he will also compensate the family of the deceased a sum of money, which is in line with the interests of the Gu family's father and son who want to make money, how can they not obey Jiang Xiong's proposal? If you think about it, the Gu family father and son heard Jiang Xiong admit that it was his wife and his wife who persecuted Aunt Gu, but how could the Gu family father and son show the slightest hatred and resentment towards Jiang Xiong, they should know that they had other plans at that time, and they didn't care whether Aunt Gu died of a violent illness or was victimized by others. โ
Jiao Xing was so surprised and happy that she was almost crying with joy, it was rare that under the influence of her so excited mood, she still kept in mind the advance and retreat, and did not ask Chungui how to find out the cause of Aunt Gu's death and was clear about the temperament of the Gu family's father and son.
Soon it was the banquet day of the Tianmo Annex.
Mrs. Han personally inspected the carriage prepared for her eldest son Cheng Zhu, pressed the cushions and cushions carefully with her hands, and repeatedly asked the maids to make sure that Cheng Zhu did not feel any discomfort during this time, so she called someone to lift her
came over in a soft sedan car, and in this short distance from the courtyard to the street gate, she didn't worry about letting Cheng Zhu walk.
Cheng Zhu was born frail, he looked much thinner than ordinary people, and the paleness of his face even infected his lips, and there was no trace of ruddyness, but he felt that he was still bright today, and he saw his mother so cautious, with a gentle smile: "Where has it come to this, in the past two or three years, my son has indeed improved day by day, and without a soft sedan chair, the mother let her son walk to the street gate, all in accordance with the doctor's instructions to strengthen his body." โ
"I'm worried you're getting heat." Mrs. Han was still not at ease.
"In the early morning, the sun is not scorching, and it is more suitable for a walk in the evening than in the evening." Cheng Zhu insisted.
Mrs. Han hesitated for a while before she complied with her son's wishes, and she accompanied him step by step, while nagging and admonishing: "Shu Niangzi said that she was borrowing our annex to set up a banquet, but in fact, it should be to see Yu'er, Shen Xiaolang invited Yu'er, and of course he will send you an invitation according to etiquette, originally everyone knew your situation, and did not force you to go to the invitation, but your grandmother's meaning, after all, you are the brother-in-law of Yu'er, and you have not suffered from illness in this period, if your body can support it, you should still show sincerity." The lord would like to let you participate in the entertainment immediately, and make friends with the children of the noble clan and the noble family, even the grandfather of the country also means this, but I am always worried that your body will only improve when you see it, and you should have more time to recuperate and avoid fatigue.
But what I said, it's useless to say it, Zhu'er, you have to keep in mind, the entertainment is handed over to Yu'er and a few cousins, don't drink, Shen Xiaolang and a few of them are saying that they want to write a meeting, so as not to chant poetry, don't use your brain for this waste, you really want to feel tired, but don't force it, immediately resign and go back to the room to rest. Hengzhu went to the Western Suburbs Annex today, and I also told Mr. Zhu to accompany him, you are not afraid of trouble, but if you are unwell, please ask Mr. Zhu to check the pulse, as well as the pills you usually take, I personally watched the people who are ready, in case they are negligent, you have to remember to take it on time.
Speaking of which, your daughter-in-law is a careful person, and I am 10,000 relieved that she will take care of me by your side, but now that she is pregnant, she can't follow her to the annex, and I have to take care of Shu Niangzi and other female dependents, so I can't be distracted. โ
Cheng Zhu listened to his mother's nagging and worry along the way, and his heart was also compassionate, but the gentle smile on the corner of his lips never dissipated, until he was helped to board the car at the street gate, and saw the brocade curtain falling, he sighed.
