Chapter 018: The Truth (3)

The Shen family is famous for its heroism in the township, and what people are familiar with is not how much fertile land the Shen family has and how many silk forged gold and jade treasures, but the small five-baht coin minted by the Shen family, which is called "Shen Lang money" by the folk.

As for how much wealth the Shen family has, and how many private soldiers there are, I'm afraid that except for her grandfather, few people really can know.

However, is it really just for the Shen family's wealth?

Gu Yu still couldn't believe it, so he heard Chen Yu say: "Lady, when your grandmother was carried into the Gu Mansion as a noble concubine, in addition to the gold baht silk on the bright face and ten miles of red makeup, there was also a box that your grandfather specially gave to your grandmother as a dowry......

"You mean, what the Gu family is plotting is actually this box?"

Chen Yu nodded and said: "Yes, at first, your aunt didn't know, but later Mrs. Gu and your father kept asking where the box was, and she became vigilant, so because the box was the last relic left by your grandfather to your aunt, so your aunt has been hiding it tightly and didn't let anyone in the house know, until last year, your aunt saw things and thought about people, and only opened it......"

Speaking of this, Chen Yu stopped her mouth again, choked up and stopped making a sound, and even lowered her head and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

Gu Yu seemed to expect something, and asked again: "What happens after opening?" What's in that box? ”

Chen Yu shook her head again and said: "The slave doesn't know what's inside, it's just that your aunt locked the box immediately after seeing it, and then she went back to Longxi with this box, and then ......"

Seeing that Chen Yu wanted to speak and stopped, with tears in her eyes, Gu Yu didn't need to ask, and knew what happened later.

"After that, A-Niang went crazy?" Gu Yu continued, "But why did she go crazy?" ”

Why did she go crazy?

Asked about this, Chen Yu's face also showed unusual resentment and hideousness, as if recalling the situation at the time, her eyes showed sadness, calmed down her mood for a long time, and then opened her lips and said slowly: "Lady, you also know that although your aunt made a deal with the Gu family with herself and all her dowry, the Gu family did not keep her promise, and your grandfather still died in the hands of the rebels, not only that, except for your little uncle who was spared because he went out, your grandmother, all the Langjun sisters-in-law of the Shen family were slaughtered.

When the Shen family was destroyed, your aunt didn't know at all, and the Gu family forbade her to go out in order to hide it from her, saying that your grandfather had escaped from Wuxing and was incognito, in order for the Shen family not to be implicated because of your grandfather, your father asked your aunt to never go back to the Shen family to visit. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yu's face showed a wry smile of teasing, and continued, "Fortunately, in this year, your father is also very fond of your mother, and she became pregnant soon after, and your mother is also very happy......

After a pause, Chen Yu's face turned gloomy and sad, and continued, "But there is no impermeable wall in the world, just when your aunt was about to give birth, she actually learned the truth about your grandfather's death and the destruction of the Shen family from the mouth of a servant, at that time, your aunt asked your father for an explanation, your father only said that he had done his best, but at least after the Wang Dun rebellion was pacified, he asked Emperor Ming to forgive the Shen family's sins, and your little uncle had to return to the Shen family with a clean body and revitalize the family business. ”

Hearing this, Gu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, Emperor Ming pardoned the sins of the Shen family, where would it be the credit of the Gu family, after the rebellion of Wang Dun was pacified, Emperor Ming's amnesty for the world was also a helpless move, a weak Jin royal family who had just been set up in Jiangnan had already caused dissatisfaction among most of the scholars in Wuzhong because he led the northern scholars to occupy a large number of land in Wuzhong, if he didn't do something to win the hearts of the people at this time, how could he gain a foothold in Jiangdong?

On the other hand, in the troubled times, the capable man is dominant, Cao Wei stole the Han family, and Jin replaced Cao Wei to win the world, the word "loyalty" is far less important than the interests of the family for the current family.

"Then did A-Niang believe what her father said?" Gu Yu asked with a sneer.

Chen Yu shook her head and replied: "Your aunt doesn't believe it, so at that time, your aunt also went back to Longxi with a big belly...... It wasn't until she saw that your little uncle was safe and sound that she ......"

Speaking of this, I don't know if it was excessive sadness, or crying for Shen's joy, tears welled up in Chen Yu's eyes again, she wiped her eyes again, and continued, "Returning to your hometown and seeing your relatives again, your aunt is naturally very pleased, but in the end, your aunt is already a member of the Gu family and has a child, at that time, even your little uncle advised your aunt to return to the Gu family and live a good life." ”

When Chen Yu mentioned the word "child", Gu Yu's face changed slightly, and then asked, "Then why?" Why did she go crazy? Why say something like that? ”

She said, she wants revenge, she wants everyone in the Gu family to die?

Since she had let go of her little uncle after seeing her little uncle and returned to the Gu family, what would have made her have such a big resentment later?

"Is it something to do with the box?" Gu Yu asked again, "Could it be that when A-Niang opened it, she didn't see what was in the box?" ”

Chen Yu shook her head and said: "At that time, I was far away, and this is your Aunt's private possession, that is, Auntie is not allowed to watch closely, Lady only remembers that your Auntie took out a letter from the box at that time, which is about the letter left by your grandfather, after your Auntie read it, she hurriedly went back to Longxi alone, and quarreled with your father after coming back......"

"So, did you hear clearly, what did A-Niang say when she quarreled with her father?"

Chen Yu still shook her head, thought deeply for a while, and then said, "I only heard her say a word......

"What?"

Chen Yu pondered for a moment again, learned from Shen's appearance at that time, and said in a deep voice: "She said, 'You lied to me, you have been lying to me, I will not forgive you, I will definitely let your Gu family pay for the blood debt!'" ’”

Hearing this, Gu Yu felt a pain in her heart, and unconsciously swelled with a thousand waves, in her previous life, she was also played with by Huan Che and clapped, deceived for a lifetime, those so-called oaths and affection are all poisons that corrode her and make her irreversible.

Unexpectedly, the Shen family was the same, and she actually followed in the footsteps of the Shen family.

But what could have made the Shen family act so crazy and make her resentful of the Gu family so much?

Could it be that my grandfather's death was also related to the Gu family?

Shen has a strong temperament, but he is not a brainless person, and saying such words is tantamount to cutting off her future path.

As she is now, in a dark cage.

Thinking of this, Gu Yu's mind sounded another "crazy word" that Shen had said last night, and remembered the cradle that Shen had been rocking and what she had seen in the cradle at her last glance.

A man who doesn't even know his own daughter anymore, but can treat a rag doll in a cradle as a life-like love?

"Am I really her daughter?"

Thinking about it, Gu Yu muttered.

Unexpectedly, she just whispered softly, but it made Chen Yu's face change greatly, and she hurriedly covered her mouth and said: "Lady, what did you say, you were born by her hard work, how can you suspect that she is not your biological mother?" ”

Gu Yu looked at Chen Yu in surprise, looking at the sudden change in her face and this overreaction, the doubts in her heart couldn't help but increase.

Chen Yu realized that she was out of shape, so she quickly withdrew her hand, lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, the slave has overstepped!" ”

After speaking, he said uneasily, "Is the lady suspicious of the old slave?" ”

Gu Yu's eyes flashed, and he continued: "No." ”

As he spoke, he added with a smile, "Fei, you have always been the person I trust the most, and in this Gu Mansion, you are the only person I believe in." ”

The corners of Chen Yu's mouth barely pulled out a smile, and tears fell as if she was grateful.

Gu Yu pondered for a moment, and then asked, "It's just, why did she say that she gave birth to a son?" ”

Even if you are crazy, don't you even remember whether you gave birth to a son or a daughter?

Chen Yu's expression changed slightly, and she knelt on the ground again, and said: "Lady, forgive the old slave for concealing something, your aunt did give birth to a Xiao Langjun back then, and that Xiao Langjun and the lady were twins of a pair of dragons and phoenixes, but ......" Speaking of this, Chen Yu lowered her head again, as if sobbing in a low voice.

"But what?"

Under Gu Yu's urging, Chen Yu bit her lip and seemed to endure it for a while, before she opened her lips and replied: "That little Langjun was born after the mother, but it was not long after giving birth, and your mother also hid it in her heart for a long time because of this matter, so she ......."

"So she hates me, hates me for killing my brother?"

For some reason, Gu Yu at this time actually thought of the sentence that Miaowei said in his previous life: "Gu, you Kefukezi, the harem has long been intolerable by the world......"

Yes, she is indeed a Kefu Kezi, her husband King Langya died because of her, and her son Sima Dan also died tragically, could it be that the Shen family and her brother who died just after birth were also restrained by her?

Gu Yu smiled bitterly, but Chen Yu raised her head in shock, looked at Gu Yu and said, "Lady, how can you think like this?" In any case, you are her own flesh and blood, how can she hate you? ”

Facing Chen Yu's sad gaze, Gu Yu was ashamed, but she was also a little dazed, if the truth was really the case, why did she feel the hatred in Shen's heart so really.

Unconsciously, half an hour had passed since this conversation, Gu Yu turned his gaze to the window, the breeze was gentle, blowing the bead curtains jingling, and the figures of the servants and women could be faintly seen.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Yu seemed to think of something again, and suddenly asked, "Concubine, do you know that there is a pianist in this mansion recently?" ”
