Chapter 118: Robbery
Shao Chunhua walked in the door and let the people around him retreat.
Gan Peilin understood what she meant, and also asked Crispy Core and Liulan to serve tea and send them out.
"Mrs. Wu came over at this time, presumably there must be something important." Gan Peilin made a gesture of please: "Madame, sit down." ”
Her face always looks so warm and calm, and her eyes are always clear, not infected by the dust of the world. She has a tall posture, but she looks slightly slender and thin, but she is such a young and tender little girl, she can actually bring Wu Weimi's death back to life, and she doesn't want her life.
Shao Chunhua looked at her intently, and when he looked at it, his eyes turned red. "I'm here, beg you."
It took a lot of effort for her to say these six words. "I never begged anyone, no matter how difficult my life was in the past years, I never begged anyone for anything. But this time, I will come to you. Only you can save Wu Wei, and only you can drag him out of the life-threatening predicament. ”
"I don't understand what Madame is saying." Before Gan Peilin's words were finished, Mrs. Wu's tears fell.
"You don't have to pretend to be confused with me. I know Wu Wei bought you a mansion. Shao Chunhua said with tears in his eyes: "Since he was a child, he has never disobeyed his parents. Even when he was five years old, he was imprisoned in the gloomy ice cellar of the mansion by me and his father and began to practice, but he never had half a word. But for you, he exposed his identity, he disobeyed the emperor's orders, and even ignored the opposition of the courtiers, and made a military order when the court, and fought with his life, just so that the emperor could marry you. Peilin, I know that your feelings for him may not be as deep as he is for you, but if he really has any mistakes, you will also lose him, right? ”
Gan Peilin didn't doubt Shao Chunhua's words, but she still couldn't help asking: "So even Madam, do you think that Wu Wei insisted on doing this just to ask the emperor for marriage?" ”
"You...... What do you mean by that? Shao Chunhua looked at her in disbelief: "Do you doubt his motives?" Or do you simply not believe that he thinks so much of you? Oh, my God! Ah Wei, you idiot, how could you fall in love with a woman like this. ”
Shao Chunhua's excited heart fluctuated violently, and his eyes were full of heartache: "You woman, you are really ruthless." ”
"Madame don't have to be so excited." Gan Peilin could feel her deep love for Wu Wei. It was a mother's love that she could no longer feel. "I just want you to understand that Wu Wei won't do things that you are not sure of. Since he dared to make a military order in front of the court, he was sure. ”
When she said this, Shao Chunhua was even more confused. "On the surface, he personally took command of the expedition to quell the rebellion, but halfway through, he would abduct and kill King Shengqing. Even if he really did it, he killed the emperor's own brother, once this matter spread, the emperor would inevitably go under the knife in order to protect his reputation. ”
Shao Chunhua burst into tears: "Even we know the true purpose of his expedition, do you think King Shengqing won't hear the rumors?" But you, you're ......"
"What does Madame think I should do?" Gan Peilin looked at her with heavy eyes. It's not that she doesn't know how to help Wu Wei, she just wants this to come out of Shao Chunhua's mouth.
"Everyone knows what the Governor has in mind for you." Shao Chunhua gritted his teeth and said as if with difficulty: "I heard that most of the governors did not approve of this matter. For this reason, he also fought with the emperor. ”
"Madame......" Gan Peilin felt that she was off topic.
"As long as you go to the Metropolitan Governor, Wu Wei will be saved." Shao Chunhua summed up what he wanted to say in one sentence. "Peilin, if you still care about Wu Wei a little, you can help him. You know how hard we talk here, he is getting closer and closer to danger. I really can't do anything else, but if you can help him, why not? In return, whatever you ask for, I will promise you. The Wu Mansion will do its best to compensate you. As long as Wu Wei can come back safely......"
"How can the Wu Mansion compensate me?" Gan Peilin was a little curious. She can say that, that is, she knows what Jiang Yu wants.
"On the day you get married, the Wu Mansion will prepare a rich dowry for you. You also know that Wu is the only child in Wu Mansion, and we are honored to have such a goddaughter as you. Shao Chunhua stepped forward and held Gan Peilin's hand tightly: "I was wrong in the past, I shouldn't talk nonsense to tarnish your reputation, if you feel uneasy, I can kneel down and toast you to tea and admit my mistakes, I just ask you to save Wu Wei, please......"
Shao Chunhua was about to kneel.
Gan Peilin was dragged by her hand, and she had no choice but to pull her. "Mrs. Wu is afraid that she is going to be disappointed. I wouldn't make such a deal with Wu Fu. I don't need a good dowry, and I don't want to use myself as a bargaining chip to participate in a man's war. ”
"You...... You girl, why is your heart so ruthless? Shao Chunhua angrily clenched his fist and punched her in the shoulder.
Gan Peilin was in pain, but he didn't say anything.
"I'm wrong about you." Shao Chunhua angrily wiped his tears and shouted: "Ah Wei is a blind man, there are so many good girls in this world, he chose the most ruthless and inhumane." Gan Peilin, listen, if my family has three strengths and two shortcomings, I will never spare you. ”
"Someone, send off." Gan Peilin didn't know what was wrong with her, she wanted to save Wu Wei, seeing that she was unwilling to gamble her life. Maybe Wu Wei is not that important in her heart at all. Maybe...... She saw the heat and coldness of the world, and was angry because he was not a simple purpose, perhaps......
"Miss, are you alright?" Crispy Core was worried: "Then Mrs. Wu is a shrew." What her own son is going to do, she can't stop, but she runs to rebuke you. ”
"Forget it." Gan Peilin didn't want to hear about these things anymore. "Groom me, I want to go and say hello to my grandmother."
"But the old lady hasn't returned home yet." Crispy Core couldn't help frowning: "The slave maid just asked the housekeeper, and the old lady hasn't come back yet." ”
"Haven't come back yet?" Gan Peilin couldn't help but wonder. "Why don't you see your father?"
"Miss, you forgot, in the days when you were sick, the lord received a holy decree and hurriedly left the imperial city on an errand." Crisp Core stared slightly: "I heard that I have to stop by to see the eldest young master." ”
"Yes." Gan Peilin was sick this time, and he didn't take any medicine, and he really couldn't bear the high fever a few times. Coupled with Jiang Yu and Wu Wei's affairs, she didn't have the energy to pay attention to anything else at all.
"Let the butler look for it. Something should not happen to my grandmother. Gan Peilin couldn't help but worry.
"Oh no, Miss, something happened......"
Before Gan Peilin's words fell, he heard the voice of the housekeeper outside the door.
"What's a big deal, don't be in such a hurry, look at the eldest lady." Chen Rui came in after him, but he couldn't stop him.
"What's the matter?" Gan Peilin's heartbeat was a little fast.
"The old lady fell ill in the nunnery where she prayed for blessings, and asked the eldest lady to hurry up and take a look." The housekeeper's words were confused, which made Gan Peilin scratch his head.
"Didn't my grandmother go and watch the dragon boat rowing and join in the fun? Why did you pray for blessings overnight again? Gan Peilin was suspicious: "And the nunnery is not far away, just let the government send a carriage to pick it up." How can you be so sick that you can't come back? ”
The housekeeper glanced at Chen Rui and looked at the crispy core again.
"The people in my yard are very strict-mouthed, and the housekeeper can say anything directly."
"Actually, the old lady is not sick, but ...... Masturbated. The butler trembled and took out the blood letter from the old lady's bosom that she had asked someone to send back to the house.
The content of the plea for help is written in blood, and it is shocking to watch. "The kidnappers said they wanted 10,000 taels of silver tickets."
"Why don't you report to the police right away?" Gan Peilin was even more surprised: "You quickly notify the government and let them go up the mountain to respond." ”
"Miss, the old lady is not going to the nunnery she used to go to this time. It was the nunnery where the old lady lived for a long time. Thirty miles from the imperial city. The official led the people over again, but I am afraid that it will be too eye-catching. The housekeeper was in a hurry: "For today's plan, I can only let the eldest lady take the old lady back to the house for treatment, and bring the silver to save people." ”
This made Gan Peilin even more strange, her grandmother's distress letter stated that she was going to go. Did the kidnappers rob her grandmother for her? Isn't that strange?
"Miss, although 10,000 taels is a lot, we can still get it from Ganfu. The ledger is also sufficient to cope with this. As long as the slave takes the old lady's seal to get it. But if you go out and pay the ransom, you will have to get rid of you. If you want to take a few people, the minions will arrange it for you. The housekeeper was in a hurry: "I'm afraid that even the sixth aunt and wife, who are now in charge of the house in the house, can't tell about this matter." Otherwise, if there is a leak, it will be ...... Extinction. And the fewer people who know, the safer the old lady will be. ”
"You're right." Gan Peilin nodded: "You really have to keep it a secret." Anyway, just say that my grandmother is not feeling well, so let me go out of the house to pick it up. The rest is up to you. ”
"Okay." The butler nodded repeatedly.
"Miss, are you really going?" Crispy Core was scared: "The slave will accompany you." ”
"Nope." Gan Peilin shook his head lightly: "Don't go." Let Rulan accompany me. In addition, Chen Rui, you go and pick some competent candidates. We don't need any people in the house. ”
"Okay." Chen Rui immediately retreated.
"Every time, someone makes a buckle and leads me to drill into the buckle." Gan Peilin stared: "But this time, I just need such an opportunity to leave the house." ”
Crispy Core doesn't quite understand. "What does that mean?"
"Listen to me." Gan Peilin patted the back of her hand gently: "I'm definitely not going to let myself have trouble." The important thing is that you are in the house, you must stay calm as usual, take care of the matter of picking up the star tower without a trace, and don't let people see that you are flustered or anything. Do you understand? I just went to pick up my sick grandmother and bring her home. ”
"The slave understands." Crispy Core hardened his heart and nodded: "Don't worry, Miss, there will never be a mistake." ”
The ghost blows the lamp
