In the early morning of the second day of the fire in Ganfu, Mo Yanqing asked people to go to the Star Picking Tower.

At that time, Gan Peilin was having breakfast, and seeing that she was in a hurry, she couldn't help but be curious: "Mother asked you to come over early in the morning, is there something to do with me?" ”

"Madame asked the slave to give this to Miss." Qi Yi handed over the folded paper in his hand. "This is the evidence obtained by Mrs. Bai Ling, who interrogated the third aunt's wife overnight, last night. Bai Ling personally admitted that the sachet was borrowed by Mrs. Ganxu, that is, the eldest lady, your biological mother. At that time, the third aunt and his wife closed the door every day, practicing needlework every day, but after many years, the embroidery was not returned but used to do such a false thing, the old man was furious, so he left a maid to serve in Xinfengju, and no one was allowed to visit, and the medicine and medicine were cut off. ”

"Mother is really resolute, what happened yesterday, today has a decision." Gan Peilin didn't want to move the people around the Yang family, but wanted to leave some room for the third sister Gan Wanyun. Unexpectedly, Liu Rumei chased after her, and the Yang family, who was beaten with a stick, was unable to get up again. "But how did my mother know that this sachet had something to do with me? What did Yang do with the sachet again? ”

Gan Peilin pretended not to know and asked curiously.

"The third aunt filled the sachet with gunpowder and sprinkled it all over the Zen Heart Temple while people were not prepared. But when he left, he deliberately left behind a sachet containing gunpowder as evidence. Qian Yi said calmly: "Presumably, I am waiting to be discovered, so as to suspect the eldest lady." In addition, there is gunpowder in the silk silk you gave to the old lady, so this suspicion is naturally not so easy to dissolve. ”

"It turns out that my mother is for me." Gan Peilin was even more surprised. "How did my mother know that Zen Shin Temple had been set on fire with gunpowder? Yesterday, for safety, didn't my father let the ladies approach? ”

"Madame went to Xinfengju after she thoroughly inspected the Zen Heart Temple last night and found that something was wrong." Qian Yi patiently explained: "Madame said that the old lady and the old lady handed over the housekeeper's affairs to the eldest lady, and she was somewhat worried, so she could help if she could, and the old man of the province asked about it, and the eldest lady didn't know if she asked, so it was not good." ”

"My mother really thinks about me so much." Gan Peilin smiled lightly: "You thank my mother for me, and after I finish the matter at hand, I will go over to say goodbye to my mother." ”

"Yes." Qi Yi saluted again: "The slave and maid are retired." ”

"Miss, the Mo clan is obviously giving you a horse, let's just leave it at that?" Liulan glanced at the door dissatisfied: "The second lady has been back home for a while, but the Ao family has not moved at all. I don't know what she has to be proud of. ”

"I don't look at the account books today, I want to go out." Gan Peilin glanced out the window: "Let's go to the market to pick out some winter clothes for my grandmother." ”

"Okay, the slave will arrange it." As soon as Crispy Core heard that Yo Ah went out, he was very happy.

Everything was arranged, Gan Peilin also asked Mrs. Gan to say goodbye, and the group left the house happily.

"The eldest lady is out of the house?" When Mo Yanqing got the news, she was instantly annoyed. "Shouldn't she have come all the way to thank me?"

"Mother, forget it." Gan Jilu sighed helplessly: "I don't want to go back to Ao Mansion now." ”

"Mother doesn't want you to go back." Mo Yanqing's eyes were slightly red, and her tone was slightly cold: "But you can't keep not going back." The more you don't go back, the worse it will be for yourself. You can rest assured that Wanfeng will stay in Ganfu until she gives birth safely. When the time comes, this child will be your bargaining chip for the Ao family. ”

Mo Chuxue listened to the mother and daughter on the side, and she didn't say a word. She knew that her aunt found out the truth about the arson in order to make Gan Peilin grateful to her. So he was able to use the relationship of the governor to force the Ao family to take the second sister back.

It's a pity, Gan Peilin is so scheming, how can he appreciate it. "Come, you're coming."

Mo Chuxue called her softly and asked on the side: "You told the eldest sister about the arson, is she surprised?" ”

"This ......" Qian Yi carefully replied to the reaction of the eldest lady at that time, and frowned: "Although the eldest lady asked what was going on, but between the conversations, the slave maid didn't notice that she was surprised. ”

"That means that the big sister may know the reason first." Mo Chuxue's heart tightened, she walked quickly to the bedside, and said to Mo Yanqing: "Auntie, will the eldest sister send a letter to the palace at this time?" If the third sister knew that you were doing this, would it ......"

"That little hoof can do that." Mo Yanqing raised her eyebrows slightly: "She will do this, and we can do it too." Chu Xue, if you ask a trustworthy person to send a letter into the palace, it is the third aunt's wife who attempted to kill Gan Peilin and was disposed of by the master. Remember, you have to write it down. ”

"Yes." Mo Chuxue nodded, and then retreated.

At this time, Gan Peilin had already come to the most lively street market in the imperial city, selected a few very thick wool mats, and ordered a few excellent silk soft quilts. I was a little thirsty, so I asked the little girl to order silver charcoal, and took the three girls to Xinghualou.

It's also strange to say, after entering the Xinghua Building, Gan Peilin wondered why he didn't go elsewhere.

It seems to be a habit, if you want to eat and drink tea, you will unconsciously walk in.

"Miss, you haven't been here in a few days." The shopkeeper came up to say hello diligently. "What are you going to do today?"

"A pot of tea, a few plates of pastries." Before it was time for lunch, Gan Peilin ordered something at random. "I'm going to sit here."

She didn't want to go to the private room, so she found a slightly remote corner on the first floor.

"Yes. You later. Xiao Er hurriedly went over and wiped the table and chairs, and greeted her with low eyebrows. The small ones are ready for you. ”

"Sit down all of you." Gan Peilin said with a smile: "It's rare to go out, so don't stick to the rules of the house." Grab a bite to eat, drink some tea, and we'll have a few more shops to visit later. ”

"Madam, you can use it slowly. The slave and maid carry water bladders. The swallow arched his hand: "The slave and maid go outside to guard." ”

Gan Peilin still wanted to call her, but she had already turned to leave.

"Swallows are very vigilant." Liulan said in a low voice: "When she goes out to run errands, she won't eat anything, let alone drink water from other places, for fear that some negligence won't protect the eldest lady." The people who were trained under the hands of the Metropolitan Governor were really extraordinary. ”

"yes." Crispy Core also nodded again and again: "Miss, you don't know." As long as this swallow is awake, she has always watched and listened to all directions, never laughing with the slaves and maids, and using all her thoughts to protect the young lady. The Metropolitan Governor keeps such a person by your side, and the slave and maid can really rest assured. ”

"It's hard for her." Gan Peilin is talking about swallows. But the two girls obviously thought she was talking about Jiang Yu. Just look at their weird smiles to understand.

"Here comes tea." Xiao Er stepped forward happily. "Miss, two girls, please use it slowly."

Crispy Core took out the silver from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Er: "Huh." ”

"It's not going to be done." Xiao Er hurriedly waved his hand: "How can the proprietor have to pay silver for tea in his own shop." ”

"The proprietor?" Crisp Core glanced at Gan Peilin in surprise.

Gan Peilin remembered that this Xinghualou had changed hands. Jiang Yu is the proprietor.

"You'll be rewarded."

"That'...... Thank you for the kindness. Xiao Er happily accepted it and retreated.

"It's almost time, isn't it?" Gan Peilin looked out from this position and looked at the bustling people on the long street.

"yes." Crispy stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth, and muttered, "Slave go and see." ”

"Look at you, wipe your mouth." Gan Peilin couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this.

Crispy grinned, wiped his mouth and walked out.

On the long street, Ao Yu on horseback was walking this way, and a cool female voice came from the side.

"Uncle Ao, our eldest lady invites you to go to Xinghualou to taste tea, I don't know if you can enjoy your face."

Ao Yu turned his face and found that it was a brittle core standing there, and his eyebrows moved slightly. "The eldest lady is in Xinghua Building?"

"Yes." Crispy nodded neatly.

Ao Yu thought to herself, Ganfu is really interesting, let a girl who has not been out of the cabinet be a lobbyist. I was reluctant to go from the bottom of my heart, but after all, she was the governor of the capital, so it was not good not to give face.

got off the horse, threw the reins to the entourage, and Ao Yu walked into the Xinghua Building alone.

"Why is the eldest lady sitting here?" Ao Yu was a little surprised.

"You can see my second brother-in-law passing by here." Seeing that Ao Yu only had a different color, Gan Peilin smiled: "Ao Gongzi is now the husband of my second sister, and it is reasonable for me to call you so." ”

"I know that the eldest lady is here for this." Ao Yu's face sank: "I don't mind that she used to be the favorite candidate of King Shengqing, but she was rejected for marriage." But she's not innocent......"

"Second brother-in-law, there are people coming and going here, you have to be careful when you speak." Gan Peilin interrupted him: "In the final analysis, she is also the bride of your Ao family who carried the sedan chair to pick him up. It's not long ago, if there is any gossip, can the Ao family's face be passable? ”

"You ......" Ao Yu was pushed back by her neither soft nor hard, and sat down a little sullenly. The eldest lady is really hidden. I can't complain that I can become the favorite candidate of the Grand Governor. It's just that even if you have a thousand truths, things that are not clean and unclean, our Ao family is not rare. ”

"Whether it's rare or not is your Ao family's business." Gan Peilin adjusted his face: "I'm not here to say this. ”

"Oh?" Ao Yu couldn't help but be surprised: "Then between you and me, what else can I say?" ”

"Frontier War in the West." Gan Peilin's words were concise and to the point, and his eyes were clear. "Are you interested?"

"Me?" Ao Yu couldn't help but be stunned: "You mean, I can ...... Go to ......"

"It's a great opportunity to make a name for yourself." The corners of Gan Peilin's lips rose slightly.

"Hmph." Ao Yurao smiled: "Ganfu is going to use this as a trade, let me take your second sister back to Ao Mansion, right?" ”

"It's your business whether you pick it up or not." Gan Peilin didn't like him with such a small belly. For fear of losing. "It's up to you whether you go or not."

She took a sip of her tea and stopped talking.

But her words were really intriguing, Ao Yu was silent for a long time, and said: "Why me, aren't you ...... with my second brother?"

Gan Peilin frowned slightly, and smiled lightly.

"Then thank you for the mention." Ao Yu gave up.

"You should call me sister." Gan Peilin's slender fingers gently rubbed the smooth tea cup.

"Yes, eldest sister." Ao Yu took out a silver ingot from his arms: "This tea is mine." ”

"Don't worry about it, uncle, buy and sell at home." Crispy Cores shoved the silver back into his hands.

Gan Peilin got up with Liulan's hand: "I still have to go to other shops, so I won't accompany me." ”
