Chapter 168: Disasters Continue (Part 2)
On the way back, Xiao Ju watched Gu Mingyu stop talking several times, but finally lowered her head.
Gu Mingyu walked discouragedly, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Ju's hesitant appearance, and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Xiao Ju looked at her lady's depressed appearance, and said softly: "Lady, if you dare to say a word, it's better to be cautious, even if it is a lady and a second lady, it may not be true to treat your lady." ”
She could see clearly that Madame was so clutched to the bowl of tea that she couldn't tell what was in it.
Gu Mingyu's eyes widened when he landed, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, that's my aunt and my sister-in-law's sister, how can they have anything else to think about." ”
Xiao Ju can't care about the humility of the master and servant at this time: "Lady and think about it, since something happened to the Luo family, after the eldest lady was sick, He Zeng really thought about the lady, the second lady never went to see the lady once, and the lady still thought about it, she was afraid that she would drag the second lady down, but every time there was something, she let the lady go, and even the last time she went to the Luo family, it was ......"
"How can Mrs. not know what the situation of the Luo family is now, the second lady over there sees the people in the long room like enemies, and the eldest lady and the eldest uncle are very difficult, why don't you let the second lady go, obviously the second lady likes the eldest lady of the Luo family more, and there is a ...... talent"
Before she finished speaking, Gu Mingyu's face changed suddenly, she shook her head again and again, and scolded sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, don't say it, how can A-Niang harm me, I am her daughter-in-law, how can I be!" ”
She refused to listen to Xiaoju anymore and walked quickly to the yard, but somehow a sour pain welled up in her heart, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
In the East Mansion, Gu Mingzhu sat on the Hu bed playing a fan, listening to the housekeepers and grandmothers in the West Mansion replying.
“…… This is not a long-term solution, and now the use of each yard has been reduced by half, but there is no income now, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult in a few days. Mama Zeng, who was in charge of the warehouse, frowned.
The others also nodded their heads.
Gu Mingzhu was idly fanning: "That's no way, if it's really embarrassing, you can only reduce the usage a little more." ”
"However, the old lady and the lady have already lost most of their use, if you reduce it by ......"
Gu Mingzhu raised his eyes: "My Dongfu has also been reduced, no one should feel wronged, what can I do at this time." ”
Then Mama had no choice but to respond and go back with a sad face.
Seeing them walk away, Gu Mingzhu asked Mama Han to come: "Can people inquire clearly?" ”
Mama Han nodded: "Madame asked people to burn the baggage they brought, and the third lady also went back well." ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled coldly: "It seems that she really plans to destroy Mingyu in exchange for Mingyue." ”
Mama Han sighed: "But the third lady is also her daughter-in-law." ”
"How can Mingyu compare to Mingyue, she still has hope for Mingyue." Gu Mingzhu sneered, dropped the fan and picked up the grapes and ate one, "It's a pity, I can't let her get her wish, Gu Mingyue must not stay." ”
Mama Han nodded, the second lady's methods are really too ruthless, and she must not stay.
She said in a low voice: "There is another matter, the front yard of the Xifu sent a message over, saying that Wanzhao Pavilion had sent a letter, saying that it was going to be sent to the Eastern Capital. ”
Liu was still restless after all.
Gu Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and smiled: "It seems that she is afraid, but she thought of sending a letter to her father." ”
Mama Han asked in a low voice, "Do you want someone to stop it?" ”
Gu Mingzhu shook his head: "No need, it's almost time, when my father gets the news and rushes back, it's already going on here." ”
When the people from Jingzhao Mansion came, Old Madam Gu was sitting on the couch eating decoction, and Gu Mingli on the side lowered her head and accompanied her uncomfortably, she had never come to Songshou Courtyard very often, and she didn't even know a few people who served here, and she had always been afraid of Old Madam Gu, if it wasn't for the Liu family who had to ask her to come over, where would she dare to come to the old lady.
Old Madam Gu was also very dissatisfied when she looked at her, she only felt that compared to Gu Mingzhu and Gu Mingyue's sisters, Gu Mingli looked extremely stupid, and she was timid and afraid of things, so she couldn't shrink back on the stage, and she didn't like it when she watched it.
She took the decoction and handed the bowl to Gu Mingli, she was stunned for a moment before thinking about taking it, she didn't have any eyesight, and taught Old Madam Gu to dislike it more and more, and planned to send her away after a while, and she hated it to look at it here.
But before she could let Mama Deng in, she heard another chaos outside, and Mama Deng came in in a panic: "Old lady, the official from Jingzhao Mansion has come to the house." ”
Old Madam Gu's eyes widened, and she was excited in her heart, staring at Mama Deng.
What are the people of Jingzhao Mansion doing again, is it possible......
Before she could figure it out, Mama Deng had already said in a trembling voice: "It is said that Erlangjun and the second lady have already recruited, and said that you also paid money to buy that batch of spices, and I want to invite you to go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion." ”
The most feared thing happened, Old Madam Gu panicked, she got up in panic, the fear in her heart had reached the limit, those officials came to arrest her, did they want to take her to the yamen prison in the state capital?
Could it be like Erlang and Mao, who were locked up in that cell and never thought about coming back, didn't the two of them never come back? Is it her turn this time?
Old Madam Gu took a few steps out in a panic, but she retreated in a trembling voice, no, she can't be arrested, she doesn't want to be locked up in a prison cell to be tortured, she is an old lady in the General's Mansion, how can she be locked up in a prison cell......
After taking two steps, Old Madam Gu's eyes went dark, and she fell softly, so frightened that Gu Mingli screamed, hiding aside and not daring to move.
The officials of Jingzhao Mansion were sent away by Gu Mingzhu, they heard that the old lady Gu was too sick to afford the bed, but they didn't dwell on it much, politely said what they meant, and said to Gu Mingzhu that if the old lady woke up, I was afraid that they would have to invite them to the yamen of the state capital to ask a question, after all, Gu Yuan and the Mao family insisted that the silver for buying spices was all taken out by the old lady, and the old lady was the mastermind.
Gu Mingzhu asked people to send the official away, and then turned around and came to Songshou Courtyard.
Gu Mingli has been sent away by Mama Deng, in fact, Mama Deng didn't speak, Gu Mingli didn't dare to stay here anymore, she came less than half a day ago, the old lady fell ill again, she was afraid that the old lady would treat her as an evil.
At this time, there was no one around Mrs. Gu to serve, and when Gu Mingzhu entered, she was lying alone on the couch, probably hearing the sound, and slowly opened her eyes.
When she saw that it was Gu Mingzhu, her eyes tightened, she frowned and pointed outside, asking Gu Mingzhu to tell her the situation outside.
"The old lady is relieved, the official has already left first." Gu Mingzhu looked at her quietly and said, just when her face turned sad to happy, she continued, "It's just that when they left, they said that when the old lady is better, I will come to the mansion and invite you to the yamen of the state capital." ”
"The second uncle and the second aunt have already recruited, saying that you took the money and silver and the spices they bought, and you are the master, but I am afraid that the state government yamen will not give up easily."
She successfully saw that Old Madam Gu's face was pale, her body shrunk in the brocade quilt was trembling constantly, and her mouth was closed but she couldn't make a sound.
Looking at that appearance, Gu Mingzhu still looked calm, but said lightly: "The Taoist temple has already inquired, the Qinglian Temple over there in Lishan is pure and solemn, and the presiding female crown is the most stable and courteous, proficient in spells, it is very suitable, what does the old lady think?" ”
Old Madam Gu suddenly remembered Gu Mingyue, yes, it must be that Gu Mingyue didn't send her away, so there would be these disasters coming to the door, she couldn't stand it for a moment, and she had to send her away quickly!
