Chapter Eighty-Eight: Fatal Evidence
The superfluous people left the Star Picking Tower, and Crispy Core and Liulan closed the door. Pulled Chen Rui up from the water.
It's also a shame that the petals are scattered more today, and I can't see the red blood in the water. And the richness of the fragrant soup also obscured the taste of blood.
Chen Rui's face was pale, barely holding on to his spirits.
"Hurry up and send him back to his room first, so that someone reliable can change his clothes and heal his wounds. Crispy core, you send the special hemostatic ointment in our room. "Gan Peilin is afraid that Gan Puyang will kill him and investigate this matter again. The special ointment is made of spices to avoid heavy medicinal gases.
"Yes, miss." Crisp Core nodded hurriedly, quickly looked outside the door, and made sure that no one was helping Chen Rui out.
"Ryulan." Gan Peilin stared and said, "You stay." ”
Liulan originally wanted to accompany the crispy core, and by the way, find a few little girls to serve Gan Peilin. Unexpectedly, I was stopped by her.
"Miss, this water is full of blood, and the slave wants to go and prepare a new fragrant soup for you."
"No, you don't." Gan Peilin didn't mind this bit of blood. She was just curious, why Liulan was so abnormal today. "Do you know Gan Puyang?"
"It's not like I don't know each other." Liulan laughed and said: "That's it, it's before......"
Gan Peilin came out of the pool, the water on her body dripping down her clothes. The wet clothes outline her slightly slender figure, which is rare and well-proportioned. "Is there anything you can't say?"
Liulan took a cotton towel and wrapped it in Gan Peilin.
"The eldest lady misunderstood, and there is nothing that can't be said." Liulan sighed and said, "It should be in a village at the junction of Xiaocheng and Pingcheng, when I was looking for someone there, I once met the eldest young master. It's probably what it looked like a little over a year or two ago. At that time, he also went on an expedition with the army, was slightly wounded, and lived in the village for a while. But I didn't stay long, only three or five days, and I helped him once. Presumably, the eldest young master doesn't remember that incident anymore. ”
"I see." Gan Peilin was still a little strange: "But your actions today seem to be very close to him." ”
The word "intimate ......" makes Liulan excited. Miss, you really misunderstood. The slave just thought, knowing that he was suspicious of us, and the more he covered it up, the more suspicious he became. It's better to be generous. But it's really not intimate. ”
In fact, Gan Peilin also felt that the word intimacy was wrong. But for a while, she couldn't find a more suitable word. It's not so much intimacy as Rulan's desire to "get" his attention. It is because she thinks that Liulan is not the kind of woman who will use her posture to achieve her goals in men, so she is strange.
However, since they had seen it before, there might be something in it that she didn't know, so that's it.
"Gan Puyang is not a good person." Gan Peilin frowned and said: "He used to be like this, he liked the new and hated the old. Even if he is married, he is not less out of trouble. I'm afraid you'll suffer. ”
"Oh, Miss, where did you think of it? The slave maid had no such thoughts. Liulan couldn't help blushing: "The slave is just ......"
"Don't say it, I believe you." Gan Peilin smiled warmly: "I really don't have a good impression of him." By the way, you said that you were looking for someone, and you asked me for a day off before, also to find someone. Who the hell are you looking for? ”
Speaking of this, the brilliance in Liulan's eyes instantly dimmed a lot: "Look for my brother." He was only five years old when he lost it, and I was eight years old at the time. It's been more than ten years. ”
Seeing that she was sad, she seemed unwilling to say any more.
Gan Peilin was reluctant to ask. "If you need to, just let me know."
"Hmm." Liulan changed into clean clothes for her: "The eldest lady will go back to the room to rest first, and the slave maid will prepare the meal." ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin looked at Liulan's lonely figure, and felt a little uncomfortable. The pain of missing her relatives is also to miss her mother who has left. Unfortunately, my mother will never be seen again.
Looking at the dagger sent by Jiang Yu, Gan Peilin was sure that he had planted eyeliner in Gan's mansion. Otherwise, he would not have picked such an appropriate time to successfully help her drive away Gan Puyang.
But how much does he know about Chen Rui? And that night, she was sick, what happened to Wu Wei he vaguely mentioned?
My mind was a mess, and I couldn't think of anything clearly.
simply went to the lower courtyard alone, wanting to ask Chen Rui and Wu Wei how the situation was. Something happened again last night.
"Miss." Zhuyu was walking inside, and when he met her, he saluted neatly. "Old lady, please go to the Zen Heart Temple."
"Okay." Gan Peilin cleaned up his mood: "I was also planning to say hello to my grandmother. ”
When the two of them came over, Liu Rumei was talking with Mrs. Gan.
"Oops, Peilin is here." Liu Rumei got up enthusiastically and walked over to hold her hand. "Pei Lin is also hiding in sickness these days. The toss is not light. Just tomorrow I went to pray for blessings, and I also lit a lamp in the nunnery to avoid evil. ”
"Grandmother, are we going to pray tomorrow?" Gan Peilin saluted Mrs. Gan and asked with a smile.
"yes." Mrs. Gan said gently: "Your father returned triumphantly and won the emperor's praise. Your sister-in-law has added another daughter, which is also a happy event. Naturally, I want to go out and make a wish. ”
"Yes." Gan Peilin nodded.
"I just heard from the housekeeper that Pu Yang made trouble in your yard?" Mrs. Gan's expression was solemn, and there was a lot of concern in her tone.
"Big brother just misunderstood that there were bad guys breaking into the Star Picking Tower. I explained it to him. Gan Peilin lowered his eyes and smiled, looking so gentle and humble.
"Hmm." Mrs. Gan couldn't help but be satisfied with Gan Peilin's performance. In fact, she is now relying on the "attention" of the metropolitan governor, and it is not impossible to sue Gan Puyang. But in the end, she is sensible.
"That's right." Liu Rumei seemed to remember something, and asked with some embarrassment: "Mother, praying for blessings tomorrow is a matter of the mansion after all." Do you want to ask your wife to come with you? ”
"You care about her." Mrs. Gan has actually been waiting for Liu Rumei to say this.
"Mother, like a charming and dull mother, since entering the house, many things have been learned under the teachings of my mother and the advice of my wife. Although Mrs. was wrong this time, after all, she was punished. Now that the master has returned to the house, the eldest and young master will also return with him, if the lady is still grounded, I am afraid that the discussion in this house will not be good. And in a few days, dignitaries and nobles will come to the mansion to walk around, and it will not be like a lady to be in charge......"
"It's hard for you." Mrs. Gan's eyes flashed with a hint of approval. "You're a kind-hearted person."
"The concubine is just thinking that she can share the worries of her mother and wife, so that the lord can serve the court with peace of mind and take care of the concubine." Liu Rumei lowered her head, but she trembled with hatred in her heart. She wished that Mo Yanqing would die in Yonghua Garden and not see the light of day.
"Then it's up to you." Mrs. Gan can be regarded as a favor: "Turn around and let people know her." ”
"Yes." Liu Rumei couldn't help but be discouraged, these days, she has already found out her heart to please Mrs. Gan. But the concubine room is the concubine room, and people value their wives more in their hearts. This is a fact that can never be changed.
Gan Peilin didn't say anything until Liu Rumei got up to leave, and she saluted and came out with her.
"Don't blame me, do you?" Liu Rumei asked in a low voice.
"What?" Gan Peilin glanced sideways at her.
"Even if I don't say it, there will always be people who say it. Rather than let someone else say it, I'd say it. Liu Rumei sighed helplessly: "After the master came back, I haven't slept a full night." I always fall asleep and wake up with a tight chest. No way, other people's sons can go to the battlefield and serve the imperial court, but my son can't run steadily. What do you want to fight with others? Even your grandmother values her sons and grandsons more, and her grandchildren are humble. I can't help it. ”
"I understand." Gan Peilin nodded slightly: "It's not too early, the sixth aunt still has to arrange tomorrow's blessings, so I won't delay you." ”
"If only you could understand." Liu Rumei solemnly held her hand: "Peilin, I don't care about anyone's feelings in this house. Except for you and Yuzawa. You two are the closest people to me. ”
"Father has always felt sorry for you." Gan Peilin smiled at her.
"That's different. Since ancient times, Aiways has declined. Sooner or later. Liu Rumei restrained her smile: "Okay, you're good, go back and rest." ”
The color is declining and Aichi, how does this sound so ironic.
Gan Peilin wrinkled his brows and went to the Star Picking Tower with Liulan, always feeling that something was weird. "No, Chen Rui is still inconvenient to stay in the mansion. If Gan Puyang finds out that he has injuries on his body, it will be troublesome. You have to find some reason to break him away without being suspected. ”
"Miss, don't worry, wait and ask Chen Rui about last night, and it's not too late to find a way." Liulan accompanied her directly to the courtyard of the Star Picking Building.
Sure enough, Chen Rui has gotten a lot better. At this time, Crispy Core was feeding him a dressing.
Looking at the worried look in the brittle core, Gan Peilin seemed to understand something.
"The eldest lady is here." If Liulan hadn't said this, neither of them would have noticed that there was anyone standing at the door.
"The eldest lady is here." Chen Rui got up together, touched the wound, and frowned tightly.
"Don't move." Gan Peilin saw that his injury was not light, and he couldn't help frowning: "I just thought about it, I'm afraid that Gan Puyang will still make trouble for you." Grandmother will lead the lady of the house to go out and incense tomorrow. He may not take the opportunity to come back. You need to get out of here. ”
"Don't worry, Miss." Chen Rui said with a calm expression: "The eldest young master is anxious for my life, just because he himself is in trouble. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Gan Peilin asked puzzled.
"Last night, the eldest young master went to meet someone." Chen Rui's tone was full of disdain: "That's a person who shouldn't be seen." ”
"How do you know?" Gan Peilin was a little surprised.
"When the detective disappeared, I accidentally found it." Chen Rui said with some concern: "Just because I suddenly found out, I didn't take precautions, otherwise I would have been able to do it without leaking." ”
"Gan Puyang didn't see your appearance?" Gan Peilin couldn't figure out the situation and couldn't help but worry.
"Nope. But because I was injured and couldn't avoid his people, I was exposed to the traces of returning home. Chen Rui handed something to Gan Peilin: "This thing can save my life, and it can also discredit Ganfu, whether to use it or not, it is up to the eldest lady to decide." ”
