Chapter 18: The Storm
Chapter 18
"Sister Pearl has been arrested by them and taken to the main courtyard, and it has been most of the day!" The little maid hurriedly reported it, and after the words fell, she glared directly at the so-called second young master.
It turned out that the mother-in-law sent by Aunt Cui to open the warehouse was stopped by Pearl, and it didn't take long for someone from the main courtyard to directly arrest Pearl.
"Her name is Pearl."
With a chuckle, Gu Wushuang raised his eyes and just saw that the so-called second young master was rubbing his fingertips and smiling evilly.
Gu Wushuang was instantly furious when he saw this, and he went to the main courtyard directly with his sleeves flicked up.
In the main courtyard, Pearl was still kneeling on the bluestone slab outside.
At this time, it was already the time to hold the lamp, Gu Wushuang took a moment of careful use of the lamp, and saw that the pearl's hair was scattered, and his face was still red and swollen, obviously he had been slapped by someone.
"Who hit!"
Seeing this, Gu Wushuang became even more angry, and was about to enter the door when he heard the sound of a tea cup breaking from inside.
Immediately before Gu Wushuang could react, Aunt Cui's defense came again: "I didn't want to hide it from you, but I just got the news, and I didn't plan to look for him before, but then the son of the world had an accident......
"My son is gone, and your son has been found! Yan Cuiping, are you really taking me for a fool! Ning was so angry that he even threw the teacup in public regardless of decency.
"Mother."
Gu Wushuang was listening outside, secretly surprised, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Ning had already seen him, and he couldn't help but glance directly at Amber and stepped straight in.
"What are you going to do!" The Ning clan was angry, so even if he faced Gu Wushuang, he still didn't have a good face.
Gu Wushuang didn't care, just breathed a sigh of relief and said: "My mother also knows that I am not in the house during the day, but although I am not here, the treasury in this mansion is still open, and even the private treasury where I store my dowry is also opened, so I want to ask my mother, since my mother called me in charge of the house, why didn't she even inform me of such a major event as opening the treasury?" ”
After that, Gu Wushuang directly took down the key to the treasury that Amber had just sent, and said, "If my mother thinks that I have done a bad job, then I don't deserve to keep this key anymore, so I will return it to my mother now!" ”
"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Ning's face suddenly became even heavier: "I didn't order the matter of opening the warehouse, what are you messing around with me!" ”
Ning said and glanced straight at Aunt Cui's face, indicating that everything was Aunt Cui's idea.
Gu Wushuang didn't want to follow the mix, so he just continued on Fang Cai's words: "The steward below said that you know about this, and even my private treasury was moved......
"Presumptuous!"
Ning was so angry that he slapped the table directly, and before Gu Wushuang really finished speaking, he couldn't help but roar angrily, and said, "Who dares to talk nonsense to you like this, how could I, the scholarly family of the Xu family, do such a dirty thing that is greedy for the dowry of my daughter-in-law!" ”
"If Mother said this, then dare to ask Mother, why is Pearl punished?"
Gu Wushuang didn't let in the slightest, and even didn't wait for Ning's answer before continuing: "There was also a person I met on the way when I came, claiming to be the prince of Jingguo Mansion, dare to ask my mother, if that person is the prince, then what is Maoxing?" What am I? Or is this actually my mother's calculation......"
"Nonsense!"
When Elder Xu Ge received the news, he happened to hear Gu Wushuang's question, and he couldn't help but suddenly turn cold.
Xu was really angry, although Xu Ge Lao had a ruddy face, he was a little red and abnormal.
Gu Wushuang saw it in his eyes, was silent, turned around and picked up a cup, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it over.
Old Xu Ge sat down, and when he saw this, he glared at Gu Wushuang, but in the end he still took it.
"You tell her." After relieving himself, Xu Ge Lao directly nodded to the housekeeper who came over.
The housekeeper understood, and went straight forward to bow to Gu Wushuang and said: "The young lady misunderstood, the one you are talking about is the second young master of the house, named Xu Kang'an, the son who was accidentally lost in the early years of Aunt Cui, and he was only picked up today, because he grew up in the countryside, so it is inevitable that there are some deficiencies in the rules. ”
With that, the butler shook himself again.
Seeing this, Gu Wushuang frowned.
The housekeeper's words were obviously instructed by Xu Ge Lao, if Gu Wushuang continued to care, he would be dissatisfied with Xu Ge Lao, although he was actually a little dissatisfied, but in his private heart, it was not because of Xu Ge Lao, and Xu Ge Lao's appearance did not look very good, so Gu Wushuang had to swallow this breath for the time being.
"Since it's really the young master in the house, then I can't say anything more, it's just that there is nothing wrong with the pearl, and I asked my father to allow me to take her back."
"Go ahead." Elder Xu Ge waved his hand directly, which was a response.
Seeing this, Gu Wushuang didn't stay long, and went straight out of the main room after saying goodbye, and then went back to his courtyard with the pearl directly.
"Who kept the key to the storeroom?"
Back in the courtyard, Gu Wushuang directly ordered someone to bring the pearl down, and then called all the servants in the courtyard over.
"It's me." Amber helped Pearl back to her room, and when she came out, she happened to hear this sentence and stood up immediately.
"Really?" Gu Wushuang asked knowingly: "Since you took it, and you are not in the mansion today, how did this treasury open?" ”
"Back to the young lady, there were originally two keys to this warehouse, and today it was also ordered by Aunt Cui herself......"
"What about the private treasury?" Gu Wushuang sneered with heavy eyes, and said straight without waiting for the woman to finish speaking: "There are two treasury keys in the public school, so how did I open the private treasury I used to store the dowry?" ”
"This ......"
"I drove it!" Another woman in blue said: "Because the second young master said that there was a lack of ornaments, I thought that the young lady on the left and right bottles would not need it, and I would put it away, so I took the key directly......"
"When did my Yilan Courtyard be run by a mother-in-law!" Gu Wushuang laughed angrily.
The blue-clothed woman also changed her face, and said angrily: "What is the young lady talking about, I was the housekeeper sent by the lady, and I want to ......."
"Are you justified in that?" Gu Wushuang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Come on, go to the main courtyard and inform your mother-in-law, just say that I, Gu Wushuang, can't afford her love, I don't want this person, please take it back!" ”
"You dare!"
"Smack!"
The loud slap sounded instantly, but Pearl couldn't bear it and immediately rushed out of the room: "What are you who dare to yell at my young lady, you ......"
"Phew!"
The blue-clothed woman was stunned for a moment, and immediately covered her face and snorted at the pearl after coming back to her senses, and then yelled directly at Gu Wushuang: "I really think I am the daughter of a wealthy family, let me tell you, if it weren't for the accident of my family, you think you are worthy!" ”
