Chapter 11: Doubts

Then Mrs. Tai took Gu Liniang's hand and asked Han Nuan, and asked a lot of questions, or asked Gu Liniang how she had lived these years, or asked Gu Liniang's adoptive parents if they were good to her, etc., and asked everything one by one, asking, asking, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but wet her eyes again......

During this period, Mrs. Tai also asked Gu Liniang several things related to Aluan's identity, Gu Liniang happened to remember them one by one and answered them all correctly, which immediately made Mrs. Tai more sure that Gu Liniang was her daughter Aluan, and immediately made people announce Gu Liniang's identity as "Aunt Cen Family" and Gu Zheng "Miss Cen Family", so that people in the house could not snub Gu Liniang.

And in order to please Mrs. Tai, Gu Liniang soon took the initiative to propose to change her name back to "Ah Luan" instead of the name "Gu Liniang". Mrs. Tai was very happy when she heard this, and immediately called out "Ah Luan" and "Ah Luan" shortly, and even Gu Zheng got a nickname given by Mrs. Tai because β€”β€”β€”of her smile.

At the end of the conversation between Mrs. Tai and Gu Liniang's mother and daughter, Mrs. Tai inevitably asked Gu Zheng's father: "By the way, since you even have a bend (Gu Zheng), what about the child's father?" ”

This Gu Zheng's father is actually a lonely ruffian who has no relatives and no reason, and he left Gu Liniang with a big belly and ran away within two years of getting married to Gu Liniang. Gu Liniang scolded the negative man and then forgot about him completely, and since then, people have said that her husband is dead, and even after giving birth to Gu Zheng, she directly let Gu Zheng take her surname.

So as soon as Mrs. Tai asked about Gu Zheng's father, Gu Liniang repeated the lie without changing her face: "Dead, died early!" We died before we were born. ”

"It turns out that Wanwan is a posthumous child, my poor child," Mrs. Tai said and took Gu Zheng into her arms to comfort her, and then continued to ask: "What about the relatives on Wanwan's father's side?" ”

Gu Liniang didn't make up lies this time, but replied truthfully: "Nannan's father is a helpless person who came to Tingzhou from other places to beg for a living, and he has no relatives, and it is precisely because of this that I can easily let Nannan take my surname." ”

Not to mention that Mrs. Tai asked Gu Liniang about the past, but said that after Gu Zheng's mother and daughter became the masters of Cen Mansion's Eight Classics, the treatment immediately changed dramaticallyβ€”β€”β€” first Tingquan Courtyard no longer only had two maids, spoon and spoon, and soon a bunch of maids and mother-in-law who served Gu Zheng's mother and daughter poured in;

Immediately afterwards, the things that Mrs. Tai appreciated were carried into the Tingquan Courtyard like flowing water, whether it was the silk and satin worn on the body, the tea cups, vases, and Ding furnaces used in daily life; It is still the furniture and antique calligraphy and paintings hanging in the house, which can be said to be full of colors and colors, and there are many pieces.

After getting the news, people from all walks of life in Cen's mansion came to the door with gifts to get close to Gu Zheng's mother and daughter, among these people, in addition to those who wanted to talk to Mrs. Tai through Gu Zheng's mother and daughter, there were also five aunts of Master Cen, and even Mrs. Luo, who had never been to Tingquan Courtyard before, was also accompanied by Chen's mother, and condescended to Tingquan Courtyard to visit Gu Zheng's mother and daughter.

Gu Zheng was not busy enjoying this good day that suddenly fell from the sky, but waited for the Spring Courtyard to be quiet, so he pulled Gu Liniang and asked quietly: "Mother, what you said in front of Mrs. Tai is true?" I don't believe that if there was a secret in your background, your deceased grandmother would not have told you! ”

Gu Liniang was pulling a piece of fine material on her body, and when she saw that Gu Zheng was suspicious of this matter, she only asked Gu Zheng absentmindedly: "What?" After your mother and I put on this dress made of tribute satin and wear these glorious jewelry, don't we look like the young grandmothers of a big family? I think I'm pretty presentable, and I couldn't have worn this outfit perfectly! ”

Gu Zheng saw that Gu Liniang was only focusing on the pile of clothes and jewelry, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Mother! I'm talking to you about business! ”

Gu Liniang hummed a few words happily before she said with a smile: "Mother won't tell you, you can guess for yourself!" ”

When Gu Zheng heard this, his head was suddenly full of black lines: "Mother......

"Grandma, Aunt Sun has come to see you."

Before Gu Zheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Spoon's words.

Gu Liniang, who was originally only concerned about clothes and jewelry, heard that Aunt Sun was coming, her eyes lit up immediately, and then she immediately dropped the pile of clothes and jewelry, and went out of the house to see Aunt Sun without delay.

This Aunt Sun had only come to visit Gu Liniang with a few aunts before, why did she turn back after just a while?

In addition, Gu Liniang's reaction was a little abnormal, Gu Zheng suddenly thought about it after seeing it, thinking that this Aunt Sun had just come to Gu Liniang last night, and Mrs. Tai happened to return the next day, and it happened that Gu Liniang also recognized Mrs. Tai as a mother...... Could it be that this matter has something to do with Aunt Sun's rainy night visit?

The more Gu Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that there must be an ulterior secret between Gu Liniang and Aunt Sun, and this secret must be related to Gu Liniang suddenly becoming Aunt Cen Mansion's grandmother, otherwise Aunt Sun would not have come to Gu Liniang frequently......

Thinking of this, Gu Zheng couldn't sit still, so she simply snatched Zhen'er's errand, personally brought the tea cup and pastries into the house, and did not leave after serving the tea, but sat down under Gu Liniang with a smile, with a look of "I am here to listen to what secrets you have to say".

Aunt Sun, who was sitting at the bottom, stopped talking before Gu Zheng came in, looking like she was going to wait for Gu Zheng to appear after serving tea before continuing to talk...... This made Aunt Sun a little embarrassed for a while, and she didn't speak again after looking at Gu Liniang several times.

Gu Liniang knew that Gu Zheng was already suspicious, and she couldn't get rid of Gu Zheng, so she simply took the tea cup and pretended to be stupid by blowing the tea foam floating on the tea water, and looked like she was giving full authority to Aunt Sun to deal with.

However, Aunt Sun seemed to be a little anxious at the moment, seeing that she was originally quite patient, this time she had no patience to wait slowly, and she couldn't wait for Gu Zheng to leave before speaking, but quickly couldn't hold back and reminded Gu Liniang in front of Gu Zheng: "Grandma, what should be said has been said by the concubine before, and now the concubine only hopes that after the aunt and grandmother recognize their relatives, don't forget our original agreement......"

Aunt Sun said that when she saw that Gu Liniang did not speak and did not seem to be very enthusiastic, her face was a little more anxious, and her tone was subconsciously a little more pleading: "The concubine is not asking your aunt to help you do anything unreasonable, the concubine just wants to replace ...... I also hope that my aunt and grandmother can help the concubine this time, if this matter is done, my aunt and grandmother will never forget the great kindness and virtue of the concubine and the concubine in this life! ”

When Gu Zheng heard this, he had already guessed the general idea of the matterβ€”β€”β€” presumably this Aunt Sun helped Gu Liniang recognize the Cen family, but Aunt Sun's condition for helping Gu Liniang must be that after Gu Liniang recognized her relatives, she would help her do something that she couldn't do by herself through the identity of "Aunt and Grandma of the Cen Family".

To put it bluntly, Aunt Sun and Gu Liniang use each other and help each other......

After figuring out this layer, Gu Zheng couldn't help but be a little impressed by Aunt Sunβ€”β€”β€” this Aunt Sun came to Gu Liniang today, and it was clear that she wanted Gu Liniang to fulfill the agreement she had made with each other, but she didn't mention anything about helping Gu Liniang before, or threatening Gu Liniang with her previous things, and only asked Gu Liniang to help her.

This Aunt Sun is a smart and transparent master, she probably didn't want to mention the previous transaction, so that Gu Liniang thought that she was blackmailing and threatening her, which backfired and made Gu Liniang unhappy...... It's just that what does this Aunt Sun want Gu Liniang to do for her?

Just when Gu Zheng was puzzled, Gu Liniang, who had never expressed her position, finally opened her mouth and said, "Aunt Sun, don't worry, what we came out to talk about is righteousness!" Since you've already helped me before, I'll definitely talk and help you do that well! You go back and wait with peace of mind, I can't touch that matter, forget it, once I do, I will definitely think of a way to help you! ”

Gu Liniang's assurance made Aunt Sun breathe a long sigh of relief, and then she didn't stay to say anything more, and soon politely got up and left, looking very trusting of Gu Liniang and believing that Gu Liniang would definitely live up to her trust.

As soon as Aunt Sun was sent away, Gu Zheng immediately grabbed Gu Liniang's sleeve unceremoniously, deliberately put a serious face on her face, pretended to be displeased and asked, "Mother!" You're honest! What kind of agreement did you make with Aunt Sun behind my back?! You haven't even revealed a word to me, aren't you afraid that Aunt Sun will sell you and help her count the money she sells? ”
