Chapter 388: Ledger
Xue Rou grinned, "What? Aren't you angry, why do you have to run out in the middle of the night, I don't even know you went out. ”
Yuan Junfeng said with an unnatural expression, "Who said that you can only go out if you know me, and you don't care about me before you get married?" I also have freedom. ”
"Yes, yes, you are free, whatever you say is right, I have no objection." Xue Rou said.
After getting the account book, Xue Rou was also repeatedly sure that this was the real account book, so she happily hugged Yuan Junfeng's neck and kissed him on the side face, "Brother Yuan, you are so good." Sure enough, he was the first person to be duplicitous. ”
Yuan Junfeng reached out and hugged her waist, and said helplessly, "Be careful of your arm, but it's injured, don't touch it." ”
Xue Rou poked his face with a grin, "No, I don't hurt." And I'm happy now. ”
Yuan Junfeng was very helpless, so he had to let her poke and touch something, and finally fell on the bed again. Xue Rou said, "Sleep with me for a while after eating." ”
Yuan Junfeng said yes.
Both of them were hungry, and they finished their meals as quickly as they could, and lay down on their beds.
Xue Rou said, "Since this evidence has been found, then go and hand it over to Gu Wen, he should be useful." ”
Yuan Junfeng was noncommittal, anyway, he found this account book to apologize to Xue Rou, as long as Xue Rou was happy. Xue Rou also saw his thoughts, and took another sip on the other side of his face.
Xue Rou and Yuan Jun took a nap after eating, and Xue Rou went to find Gu Wen. Knowing that Yuan Junfeng was a bit face-loving, and had only quarreled with Gu Wen before, he didn't call him over, but went to visit by himself.
She was very moved in her heart, Yuan Junfeng was able to do this for her, even if he quarreled with himself and Gu Wen on the front foot, he could go to Gu Mansion to handle this matter properly on the back foot, and he was really a reliable man.
When Xue Rou came, Gu Wen was still a little surprised. After all, he had only visited the day before, and the next day someone came again, and no matter how good a friend was, he would not be so inseparable.
"Miss Xue, you and Brother Yuan..."Gu Wen said again and again.
Xue Rou smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Gu Wen's heart was like putting down a stone, "That's good, that's good." As long as you are reconciled. ”
Xue Roushen said mysteriously, "I'll bring you back good news tonight, guess what?" ”
Gu Wen was puzzled, "The best news is probably that the two of you have reconciled." ”
Xue Rou shook her head, took out the ledger hidden in her chest, and raised her hand as if showing off in front of Gu Wen, "Look, what is this?!" ”
Gu Wen said suspiciously, "Ledger? Is it the Gu family's one? It's not that there's no problem. Miss Xue, why did you still bring it out? ”
Xue Rou said, "You open it and take a look." ”
Gu Wen was suspicious in his heart, opened the account book and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more joy on his face deepened, and finally stroked his palm and laughed, "Miss Xue, is this the account book you found later?" This is exactly the same as the extra accounts I have! ”
Xue Rou smiled, "I'm afraid this is the real ledger, what we found before is just a fake." Your father was also afraid that someone would check him, so he deliberately made a fake, and the tanuki changed the prince. It's a pity that the prince has been caught by us, and his horse's feet are about to be exposed. ”
Gu Wen stood up happily, "Great, great, really good." Hard work pays off, and it takes no effort to get it. ”
Xue Rou said, "Guess how you got this book?" ”
Gu Wen realized that he was a little forgetful, this was something that Miss Xue had worked so hard to sneak into the Gu Mansion to get, and he had not even said words of thanks, so he started to be so self-satisfied, it was really not good.
Gu Wen said embarrassedly, "Miss Xue, this... I really don't know how to express my gratitude. You've helped me so much along the way. ”
Xue Rou smiled, "Don't don't, don't be in a hurry to thank me, I didn't find this for you." If you want to thank Brother Yuan, he found it. ”
Gu Wen said incredulously, "Brother Yuan? I just him off, why did he help me like this? ”
"Why? It's not because he has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, you just don't bother with him. ”
Gu Wen hurriedly said, "How could I worry about him, it's too late for me to thank him." I didn't expect Brother Yuan to be so soft-hearted, and on the surface, he still cared about what I did wrong, but in fact, he had forgiven me and was still helping me. ”
Xue Rou waved her hand, "It's all a small thing." It's just that he is thin-skinned and embarrassed to come, so I will send this thing to you, you can take it yourself, as evidence to bring down the Gu family. ”
Gu Wen was naturally grateful, and said that he would visit Yuan Junfeng another day. Xue Rou asked him to come back in two days, and wait for Yuan Junfeng to calm down the tone in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Gu Wendu had not yet visited Yuan Junfeng's mansion, and an uninvited guest had already come.
It turned out that after Gu Cai returned home, he deliberately went to look for the account book, and found that the account book was not in place at all, but there was no palm print to see who it was, only a small empty drawer. Gu Cai was almost angry, grabbed the housekeeper and asked, "How do you manage the house?" Why did you let such a person in? Stealing the family's ledger?! ”
The housekeeper was frightened, "Master, I have stayed in the house conscientiously." My loyalty to you over the years is obvious to all, and there is no merit and hard work, you can't doubt me, then I really have a hard time! ”
Gu Cai also felt upset when he heard it, but watching the old housekeeper speak with a handful of snot and tears, he still felt a little unbearable in his heart, "That's it." You are also an old man in the house, and after following me for so many years, I doubt that no one will doubt you. But the person who can go into my account room and turn over the account book is probably not a fuel-efficient lamp. Is it a spy in the house, or someone from outside has come in. ”
"Speaking of which, you, the housekeeper, also have a lot of things to do! If it's from outside, then you need to strengthen your management of the guards. If you are really a traitor in the family, then I think you should wash your eyes and learn the skills of seeing people! ”
The old housekeeper was trembling by what Gu Cai said, and he didn't dare to refute a word. But the two of them searched from inside the house to outside the house, but they didn't find any suspicious candidates. The subordinates have changed a batch, and they are stunned, and it doesn't seem like they will have the smart ability to betray their master, so Gu Cai is finally relieved.
The house is like an iron bucket, unless it is infiltrated from outside. But he has always been a man with his tail between his legs, and he greets everyone with a smile, where will he offend anyone. Everyone said that he was all-encompassing, and even said that he was hypocritical and deep, but they all admitted that he was really good at treating people and doing things, and he had no enemies outside.
It was precisely because of this that he felt strange, but the old butler said, "Master, have you forgotten? Although you have always been a good official admired and loved by everyone outside, don't forget to be at home, not everyone respects you at home? Especially some people who think they are young masters and like to turn their elbows outward! ”
Claiming to be a young master? Gu Cai could only think of one person, and that was his illegitimate son Gu Yuan. This Gu Yuan, although he is an illegitimate child, can keep his head up. In the past, when I was in the house, I looked very uncompetitive and submissive. Who would have thought that within a few years, his status in front of the emperor would surpass his father. Gu Cai was a little jealous in his heart, if Gu Yuan wanted to find his account book and seize his handle, maybe it was really possible.
After all, Gu Yuan had lived in the mansion and could find a place. If he wants to come by himself, it will probably be more convenient than others.
Thinking like this, Gu Cai planned to meet his son. In the past, they all pretended not to know each other, but now Gu Cai wants to invite his son to dinner with dignity, and he always feels a little embarrassed when he says it, but fortunately he never cares about these face problems, so he asked his subordinates to ask Gu Yuan out very generously.
The two of them did not make an appointment in Gu's house, but made an appointment in a restaurant outside, called Piaoxiang Building. Listening to this name, I also know that it is a place to eat with a very good taste, Gu Cai is used to spending time drinking on weekdays, and he likes these places outside the most, but he didn't expect Gu Wen to hate these places the most because of him.
As an elder, Gu Cai took the initiative to add wine to Gu Yuan, thinking that he had made a very humble gesture, but he didn't expect Gu Wen to eat this set at all, "Master Gu doesn't have to be polite, I don't drink." ”
Gu Cai's smile froze on his face, "Wen'er, are you still blaming your father for letting you go to the countryside, you have to know that it is to protect you." If you had stayed in the mansion, you might have been assassinated by Aunt Liu. ”
Maybe there is a hint of this in this, but Gu Wen feels that the biggest possibility is that Gu Cai didn't bother to care about this son at all, so he let him out to fend for himself. Whether he was alive or dead, he didn't care at all.
Thinking of this, Gu Wen didn't bother to go around in circles with this titular father again, and asked directly, "What are you doing when you come to me today?" It's not to tell me about old loves. You should know that the two of us don't have a father-son relationship to talk about. ”
Gu Cai's smile also retracted, "Why bother? Wen'er, can't our father and son talk well? ”
Gu Wen was about to leave, "If you give me another twist like this, I'm afraid I'll have to do something else, so I won't accompany me." ”
Gu Cai tugged at his sleeve, "Wait." Well, the reason my father came out of you today is to ask you, have you ever been home? One of the ledgers I kept at home is now gone, and I suspect you took it. Do you have anything to explain? ”
Gu Wen turned his head and smiled, "It turns out that this is the case, then you should have said it earlier, and you shouldn't go around this circle." ”
Gu Cai's face turned pale, "What do you mean?" ”
Gu Wen said mockingly, "Yes, I took it, so what?" Do you dare to do it? ”
