Chapter 178: Hatred of the Same Enemy (Fifth Update)
The matter of Songshou Temple had not yet reached the side courtyard, and Luo was lying in the dim room, refusing to even eat the decoction sent by Grandma Sun, and his tears could not stop flowing.
Her Mingyue has been sent to the Qinglian Temple far away in Lishan, she has heard of that Taoist temple, the most bitter and remote, Mingyue has been raised in the splendid pile since she was a child, where has she suffered like that, and now she doesn't know what kind of life she is living.
As soon as he thought of this, Roche's heart was so painful that he couldn't stand it.
Mama Sun looked at her appearance, sighed in her heart, and stepped forward with the decoction to comfort: "Madame, let's use the decoction first, it's been hot several times, I'm afraid it's going to spoil the medicinal properties." ”
She said softly: "I can't say that the second lady will come back with a letter in a few days, and Mrs. still has to take care of herself first." ”
Luo wiped his tears with a handkerchief and asked in a low voice, "Mama Chen has already arrived at Qinglian Temple?" Can you see the moon mother? ”
Grandma Sun nodded: "I'm afraid that this time has already arrived, and I have already instructed her to settle down and want to go to see the second lady, and she will come back with news soon." ”
Qinglian Temple is remote and secluded, all of them are the female crowns of penance, the incense is not vigorous, but there are also some pious pilgrims who specially rushed to Qingxiu to live, Luo Shi from Gu Mingyue was sent away, he had already instructed Grandma Sun to arrange for a servant woman to rush over, under the pretense of incense in the name of Qinglian Temple, to obey Gu Mingyue's orders.
She also asked Mama Sun to take out half of what little body she had left and bring it to Gu Mingyue, Qinglian looked at the bitterness, if she didn't have some money and silver to accompany her, she was afraid that Gu Mingyue would be even more difficult to move.
The little maid walked in quickly, her face was very anxious, and she bowed down: "Madam, the old lady has asked someone to ask you to come over and talk." ”
Old Madam Gu?
Luo and Grandma Sun were taken aback, since the Duanyang banquet, Mrs. Gu has completely disgusted Luo, never refused to see her, and didn't even say a word to her about Gu Mingyue that day, so she sent her to the Taoist temple, why did she want to see her this time?
She asked the maid, "But what did you say?" ”
The little maid said in a low voice: "I heard that the eldest lady entered the palace today and invited the Shang Gong in the palace to come to the palace and help count the wealth of the East Mansion, the old lady was so angry that she took the decoction to get better." ”
Her voice became lower and lower: "I just don't know what to say to Madame." ”
Luo's eyebrows jumped, Gu Mingzhu actually asked the palace to come forward to help her ask for the family wealth of the East Mansion! How could the old lady agree!
Her mind was racing, she was afraid that the old lady would call her over just for this matter, could it be that she wanted to discuss with her how to deal with it?
She didn't think much about it, hurriedly changed her dress, and helped the maid to go to Songshou Courtyard, this is a rare opportunity, this old lady is afraid that she already hates Gu Mingzhu to the bone, as long as she plans well, she can make Gu Mingzhu completely unable to turn over.
It's just that she thought about it too well, and when Old Madam Gu saw her, her face, which was already haggard and wrinkled, was still disgusted and disdainful: "I have something to ask you." ”
"You have been in charge of the house for more than ten years, and the money and silver in the East Mansion are short of 20,000 gold, you have to give an explanation where you use it, and the palace will come to ask you in two days, I can't protect you."
Old Madam Gu's rough voice scraped around Luo's face like a blade, and her gentle and humble smile was wiped out.
She raised her head in astonishment and looked at the old lady Gu, the money and silver in the account in the East Mansion had obviously been kept in the West Mansion for use, and the expenses in the West Mansion were all spent on the money and silver, and most of the money and silver saved were given to the old lady, and the rest was put in Luo's hands.
Why is she asking her to give an explanation now, and pushing 20,000 dollars and silver on her head, this is clearly to sacrifice her and let her bear the charge of greedy ink alone!
She looked at the old lady Gu's natural appearance, her chest hurt with anger, she forced her anger down, and squeezed out a sentence: "The old lady knows, I have been in charge of the house for so many years, everything is planned for the house, and I have no selfish intentions, even if I did my best to take care of the family wealth for the East Mansion before, I never had any other thoughts." ”
"At the beginning, I was afraid that I had any negligence, which would cause unnecessary trouble, and I also deliberately posted an account book in private, and recorded the expenses of the money and silver as well, if someone came to the palace, I must ask me, and I had to take the account book and take a look at them, and I couldn't let others splash dirty water on my head."
Her words were very aggrieved, but the meaning of her words made Mrs. Gu's face change, could it be that Luo really kept an account book and recorded the money and silver that was filial to Songshou Yuan? Roche has always been careful, and it is impossible to say that he really has this account book. If the people in the sect palace know, I'm afraid that they won't be able to escape the involvement.
She began to hesitate, originally planning to let the Luo clan bear the charge of embezzling the wealth of the Modong Mansion alone, but it seems that this will not be possible, otherwise even she will be dragged into the water.
When she thought of this, her face became even more ugly, and her eyes became more and more cold when she looked at Luo, and she said hatefully: "That's it, you are also useless, you don't have to stay here, looking at it makes me even more angry." ”
Luo Shi didn't move, she calmly looked at Old Madam Gu's depressed look, and suddenly opened her mouth and said in a low voice: "Old Madam, the mansion has been disturbed by Mingzhu, and even the palace has been alarmed. ”
She said quietly: "I look at it coldly, Mingzhu is afraid that she doesn't care about the reputation of the mansion at all, and she doesn't care about the old lady's body at all. ”
When Old Madam Gu heard Gu Mingzhu's name, she was already itching with hatred, and gritted her teeth: "I knew that she was a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be raised, and she was a bad heart like her mother!" ”
She glanced at Luo's family: "But what can I do, she has now asked the palace to come forward for her, and she wants to talk about the family wealth of Dongfu, what can I do, can I stop her!" ”
Thinking that a large sum of family wealth was given to Gu Mingzhu for nothing, Mrs. Gu was uncomfortable: "That is the Gu family's family wealth, how can it be handed over to that white-eyed wolf!" ”
Luo Shi said softly: "Even if the palace asks and wants to return the family wealth in the East Mansion, but after all, she is the lady of the Gu family, and the matter of birth and marriage is the master of the house, which is not up to her." ”
Old Madam Gu was startled and looked at her: "You mean ......?"
Luo sighed: "I wanted to help her say that the marriage was not successful, this time the old lady can't hesitate anymore, she still has to book a family affair for her to marry as soon as possible, and the old lady has to help with the marriage, so that those things will not be disposed of by the old lady again, and she can say anything about a lady who has not been out of the cabinet, even the palace can't stop her from being engaged." ”
"If she stays in the mansion with this temperament, I'm afraid she will cause more trouble, the old lady should be decisive, marry her off as soon as possible, and never stay in the mansion anymore." Liu's voice was low and tactful, full of sighs, and he persuaded thoughtfully, looking at Old Madam Gu and nodding slightly, before he lowered his head in satisfaction.
Gu Mingzhu ruined Mingyue's reputation, she was going to ruin Gu Mingzhu's life, and Gu Mingzhu would regret daring to be her enemy for the rest of her life!
