Since then, she has never seen this father again, even if she is grounded, Jinye Hou is also ignoring, this time, Gu Ruoxi is actually very beaten in her heart, I don't know if it is a wise move to put her hope in Jinye Hou.

But she had to take a gamble!

"Oh, I see." Yun Duo nodded, and suddenly retreated.

Only then did Gu Ruoxi turn his gaze to Xiao Feng and said, "Say, what did you hear last night?" ”

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Miss, the slave maid heard last night that Aunt Su and the maid Jinhuan beside her, as well as an older mother-in-law, were discussing that they would attack Mrs. Jinye Hou tomorrow, because they controlled the handle of a lady Jinye Hou......"

"What trick will she catch?" Gu Ruoxi asked suspiciously, but the next moment, she suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, I forgot, my father's Aunt Su was originally a second-class maid by my mother's side, I don't know how, she was taken in by my father, so she became an aunt, since she is a maid by my mother's side, then knowing her one or two secrets is nothing." ”

These were told to her by Gu Ruoxi when she was in King Jing's Mansion, and Xuanyuan Jingxi sent Ziyi to investigate.

"Back to Miss, it seems that Mrs. embezzled a large amount of money, but she has not returned it, and another point is that Master Hou originally liked a girl in Mrs. Xuejuan's room, but the girl died inexplicably, it seems that Mrs. ...... hand" Xiao Feng tried hard to recall what he heard.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, the corners of her mouth slowly rose: "On the surface, Mrs. Hou, who is gentle and virtuous, turns out to do such dirty things secretly!" ”

"Then, miss, shall we help Madame?" Xiao Feng thought that his master was the daughter of Mrs. Jinye Hou, and he must not be used to this matter.

Hearing this, Gu Ruoxi slowly raised his head and said, "What's the matter?" How? It's good that I don't fall into the ground! ”

Xiao Feng suddenly closed his mouth.

Gu Ruoxi thought about it carefully and said, "You go back and stare at Aunt Su carefully, this girl didn't attract much attention when she was a maid, but I didn't expect to be so good at being an aunt, how long has it been, and she dares to attack the dignified Mrs. Jinye Hou!" Inevitably, we still have to make a move. ”

"Miss, didn't you just say that you wouldn't help Madame?" Xiao Feng wondered.

Gu Ruoxi smiled lightly: "I don't help my mother, but I won't watch her fall into trouble, Aunt Su has the upper hand, and the Hou Mansion still needs her very much now." ”

Xiao Feng didn't seem to understand, but she nodded dutifully, she didn't need to ask so many whys, just obey Miss with all her might.

Gu Ruoxi's voice came faintly from behind him: "Remember, Aunt Su is our biggest target." ”

"Yes, miss."

……

The transport of Guruo Creek

The anger was not good, Jinye Hou didn't come back all day, it was night, Gu Ruoxi sent Yunduo out again, inquired in the study, and learned that the book was still lying on Jinye Hou's table, Gu Ruoxi slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

When she was about to go to bed, Liuli walked in: "Miss, Ping'er said that she heard the news and wanted to report it to Miss You." ”

Gu Ruoxi lay there and thought for a while, only to understand that Ping'er was one of the girls sent by Xuanyuan Jingxi, yesterday, she sent them out separately, and went all out to keep an eye on all corners of the Jinye Mansion, the one named Ping'er, staring at Gu Yuetong's Begonia Courtyard, I didn't expect to come back so soon.

Gu Ruoxi's eyes lit up and said, "Call her in!" ”

Ruri nodded and retreated.

After a while, Ping'er walked in from outside, wearing the iconic green clothes, and hung her head and said, "Slave and maid see Miss." ”

Gu Ruoxi waved his hand and said, "Get up, don't be polite, in the future, come in and just say something." ”

Ping'er was stunned for a moment, but when she looked up, she couldn't see any displeasure on Gu Ruoxi's face, and immediately relieved herself, so she reported: "Miss, the slave maid inquired that tomorrow the queen will hold a plum appreciation banquet in the royal plum garden in the eastern suburbs, and the eldest lady is in the courtyard with great interest in choosing the clothes to be worn tomorrow!" ”

"Oh? Plum Banquet? When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she raised her eyebrows, and suddenly showed an interesting expression: "The plum blossoms in my plum house have not bloomed, but the ones in the Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing have opened, and they are really royal noble!" ”

Ping'er didn't speak.

"Then my eldest brother will participate?" Gu Ruoxi asked again.

Ping'er nodded and said: "The prince naturally also went, the queen mother not only invited the daughters of famous families in the capital, but also invited some children of the family, it is okay for the prince to go, the eldest lady is still waiting for him to protect it!" ”

"You're really right. My eldest brother is there to protect my eldest sister. Gu Ruoxi smiled, and suddenly there was a mischievous cunning in her eyes, she beckoned, motioned for Ping'er to come over, and whispered a few words to her.

Ping'er's eyes lit up suddenly!

Nothing was said all night.

Gu Ruoxi got up early the next morning, Jin Se waited for her to wash, and Yun Duo walked in from outside and said, "Miss, Master Hou is back." ”

Gu Ruoxi's hand playing with a jasper hairpin on the table was suddenly paused, and she slowly put the hairpin back on the table. He turned around and asked, "Where did he go?" ”

"Back to Miss, Master Hou came back early in the morning and went directly to Madame's Jinghong Courtyard." The clouds replied.

Gu Ruoxi nodded, without the slightest superfluous expression on his face: "You go!" Keep watching, and report to me as soon as something happens. ”

"Yes, miss." The clouds answered, and immediately nodded and retreated.

After Gu Ruoxi had breakfast, seeing that the weather was warm, he took a book and sat on the cool floor by the window to read it, with a lazy and leisurely posture

, The slap that Mrs. Jinye Hou slapped yesterday was almost invisible, and Gu Ruoxi had a rare powder today, so the spirit looked better than yesterday.

It's just that. This is too leisurely, not at all like there is a plan in the chest, Liuli served aside, and stopped talking for a long time, but she never asked this question, she vaguely felt that her own young lady came back this time, it seems that she has changed, treating Mrs. and Shizi and others. The attitude is a little colder.

At this moment, Gu Ruoxi suddenly raised her head from the book and asked her, "By the way, how did this Aunt Su climb into my father's bed?" ”

When Liuli heard her ask, she was stunned for a moment, but she said with some words to say: "Miss, Aunt Su is the woman of the Hou Ye, and you seem to be ......"

"I'm taking care of too much, am I?" Gu Ruoxi interrupted Liuli's words and said: "You want to say, that's the matter of Master Hou, I, as a daughter, have no position at all, and I have no reason to deal with her, right?" ”

Liuli looked at Gu Ruoxi's expression and said in a low voice: "Miss, shouldn't you be ...... because of your wife?"

"It's not because of my mother. It's my dad! Gu Ruoxi said lightly: "This Aunt Su is definitely not simple, she must be planning something in secret, maybe, Mrs. Jinye Hou's position, she can't look down on it!" ”

When she said this, Gu Ruoxi was extremely melancholy in her heart, because she knew the past, so she tried everything she could. drove away Ding Hailan, I thought that the ending of my previous life had been solved, but I didn't expect to leave Ding Hailan and come Aunt Su again!

Gu Ruoxi was caught off guard by this scene, and when she knew, this Aunt Su had already entered the mansion, and there was no time to stop it.

But she knew that this Aunt Su would never be able to stay in the Gu family!

"Miss, what you said is unlikely, isn't it?" Liuli listened to Gu Ruoxi's words, and couldn't help but be taken aback and said: "That Aunt Su was originally a maid next to Madame, named Su Xiang, and she has always been silent on weekdays. There are only two Mrs. and Aunt Xu around our Hou Ye, which is rare in the capital, I don't know how many people sharpened their heads and wanted to climb to Hou Ye's bed, but they were all blocked by Mrs., but I didn't expect to let this Su Xiang take advantage of her in the end, but Mrs. saw that she was still well-behaved and obedient, so she kept her, judging from the slave maid, this Aunt Su must want to firmly hold Hou Ye's thighs, how could she have other purposes? ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she immediately raised her eyes: "Aunt Su's name is Su Xiang?" She closed her eyes and thought carefully in her heart, but in the end she had no impression at all, so she had to give up and asked, "Liuli, do you recognize this Su Xiang?" Have you been in contact with each other before? ”

Liuli said: "Miss, Su Xiang grew up in our Hou Mansion since she was a child, and so did the slave maid, so she has always known her, she is still honest, she will be shy on occasions when there are many people, and she is silent on weekdays, not like Miss You said."

！ ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, she became more and more sure of the conjecture in her heart, she smiled coldly and said, "The more things you think are impossible, the more likely they are to happen!" If this Su Xiang is really as ordinary as she seems, then she won't be my father's aunt today, did you hear the news reported by Yun Duo last night? A person who dares to collect evidence against my mother, and refuses to care that he has just gained a foothold in the Hou Mansion, can such a person be considered an honest person? ”

Liuli was speechless for a while, and said distressed for a long time: "But, miss, you can't assume that she has different intentions based on this, people must have a purpose in everything they do, why did Aunt Su do this?" ”

"That's for herself." Gu Ruoxi closed the book, glanced at Liuli, and said lightly: "One day, I will pry open this Su Xiang's mouth!" ”

Liuli nodded and said, "Slave and maid, listen to you, Miss." ”

Gu Ruoxi smiled with satisfaction, and was about to answer, when Ping'er suddenly walked in from outside and reported: "Miss, eldest lady, she went out, and she sat in the carriage with the prince." ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, his lips suddenly lifted, revealing a shallow smile, and said, "Okay, I know." ”

However, Ping'er was childlike and sleepless, blinking a pair of fawn-like eyes, and asked with a hint of hope: "Miss, can our plan be realized?" ”

"What are you afraid of? Nature is achievable. Gu Ruoxi said lightly: "Even if my eldest sister finds out, it doesn't matter, she can't find my head at all." ”

"That's what Miss said." Ping'er bowed her head.

Gu Ruoxi ordered them all to go down, and she still sat firmly on the couch and looked at the book in her hand.

……

Jin Ye Hou has been busy for several days without touching the ground, and he hasn't even returned to his own home, and now that the errand is done, it is easy to be idle, he first went back to the Jinghong Courtyard to look at his wife, sat and gossiped for a while, and then went back to the study.

"Husband, don't be too tired, since the emperor has given you a two-day vacation, take a good rest." Mrs. Kashiba knew that her husband had always loved to stay in the study, and even if he had no official duties, he would not be idle, and she was afraid that he would work hard again, so she instructed: "Don't fiddle with the books in your study, you know?" ”

Jin Ye Hou nodded and said, "I know, I know!" Every time I go to the study, that's what you say! As he spoke, he smiled, reached out and patted his wife on the shoulder, and then turned to leave, Mrs. Kashiba Hou watched him leave, with a wave of warmth in her eyes.

It's good, he didn't mention Aunt Xu, nor did he mention Aunt Su in Xinna, it's good!

Thinking about it, Mrs. Jinye Hou went to deal with the affairs of the house.

Jin Ye Hou came all the way to the study, and met the maid next to his new aunt on the way to invite, he refused in one bite, in the matter of his wife and concubine, he has always adhered to strict rules, since his wife invited, he did not stay

Come down, how can you just go to an aunt's house?

Jin Ye Hou sat steadily in the study, his heart was like water, he casually glanced at the table, and when he retracted his gaze, he suddenly saw a miscellaneous book lying quietly on the table he used to work on weekdays.

His books are all on the shelves, how can they end up here? Jin Ye Hou felt strange for a while, and couldn't help but pick up the book and look at it, but he felt that he hadn't seen this book for a long time, but it was indeed his own, as if he had lent it out a long time ago.

But to whom did it lend? Jin Yehou took the book, flipped through the two pages at random, and saw that the book was very clean, he was satisfied, closed the book and just wanted to put it back on the shelf, but suddenly he hesitated again.

He seems to have lent this book to his youngest daughter Gu Ruoxi half a year ago......

Jinye Hou was stunned for a moment, the borrowed book appeared here, and there was only one possibility, that is, the youngest daughter returned the book. He didn't see Gu Ruoxi, which means that the book was returned in the past two days. This little daughter has refused to show up for so many days, and the only time she shows up is when he is not there! This kid!

Jin Ye Hou smiled helplessly, stood up, walked to the door of the study and asked, "Who has been here in the past few days?" ”

The guards were a little puzzled when they heard this, and one of the people who looked like a leader answered immediately: "Master Hou, my subordinates have been guarding here, and no one has been here at all in the past few days!" ”

"No?" Jin Ye Hou was stunned for a moment, he remembered that his youngest daughter had not returned the book before, but this book appeared here in the past few days, which proves that Gu Ruoxi has come, but now this guard said no?

"Second Miss hasn't been here either?" Kazuha couldn't help but ask.

When the guard heard this, he was immediately surprised: "Master Hou, Madam has been grounding the second young lady for the past few months, and she has never been out of the courtyard, how can she come here?" ”

"Grounded? Isn't Xi'er unwell and not suitable to see people? The surprise in Kazuha's heart deepened.

The guard bowed his head and said, "Master Hou! This subordinate is unknown. ”

Jin Yehou's face changed suddenly, he waved his hand, ordered the guards to stand back, he looked down at the book in his hand, and suddenly made a decision, he was going to see his little daughter!

No way! He still went to ask Madame first, why did the guard say that the second lady was locked up, but he never knew about it?

Without further ado, Jin Ye Hou said that he would go, it was really as fast as thunder, it was only a quarter of an hour's effort, he walked to the gate of Jinghong Courtyard, and was about to enter, he suddenly saw a few maids and women standing under the verandah of the courtyard, and immediately beckoned: "You come over to me!" ”

A few mothers-in-law were chatting and being lazy, and they were shouted at coldly, and when they turned their heads, they found that it was Jinye Hou, who was standing majestically aside, and was suddenly startled, and hurriedly crawled over to ask Ye Dao: "Slave and maid see Hou Ye!"

”

Jin Yehou didn't scream, just stared at them and asked, "Tell me, is the second lady locked up?" ”

When several people heard this, they were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect that the second young lady had been locked up for several months, and Hou Ye didn't even know it! I guess it's Madame's handiwork, right?

Several people knew it, but they didn't dare to expose it in front of Jinye Hou at all, so they only said in a low voice: "Master Hou, who did you listen to about this?" The second lady just did something wrong, and the lady ordered her to face the wall and think about it for a few days, where was the confinement closed? I don't know who came to you to chew the root of your tongue? ”

"Did something wrong?" Jin Ye Hou frowned tightly, he stared at the few mothers-in-law in front of him, they were frightened, and they stood there speechless for a long time, before he snorted coldly: "In this case, you will take Ben Hou to Luomei Curie to have a look?" ”

"Master Hou! This must not be! When several mothers-in-law heard this, they immediately knelt down and said hurriedly: "It's better to inform Mrs. about this matter, how can you let Master Hou be so tired?" ”

"Really?" When Jin Ye Hou heard this, a sneer suddenly overflowed on his lips, at this moment, he already had doubts about his wife, how could he believe the words of these mothers-in-law? The daughter was locked up and grounded, and he, the father, didn't know anything!

He stared closely at the mother-in-law in front of him, his eyes were so fierce that he almost scared them unconscious, trembling like chaff, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"No more nonsense! Take this candidate to Luomei House! Dare to be verbose and wipe you right now! Jinye Hou said coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes! Master Hou! Slave, I'll take you there! ”
