He Lou Duhan walked silently in the garden of the Gu family's courtyard.

This annex is said to have been built by Gu Shao's great-grandfather, and it has a history of 100 years.

The winding moss and the crooked branches all tell the vicissitudes and heaviness.

Even if every servant is polite, respectful and not flattering, there is still a kind of pressure that makes it difficult to relax.

This kind of pressure is no stranger to He Lou Duhan.

——This is a natural trench between the poor and the famous.

It is not something that can be erased by one champion.

He steadied himself behind the rockery before walking out.

In an octagonal pavilion in front of the rockery, Gu Shao was wearing a half-worn homely robe, pressing his knees with one hand and holding a pu fan with the other, observing the fire of the red clay stove.

"When this summer is over, your wedding date will be near. It's inconvenient for me to come forward for you, but I don't know how to prepare, but it's still going well? He sensed the arrival of He Lou Duhan, but he didn't look back, only put down the pu fan, picked up the boiling spring water, and poured it into the two tea cups on the stone table in the pavilion, "If there is a place where you can't be busy, you might as well let my housekeeper do it for you, he also watched you grow up, if he can help you, he must be very happy." ”

He Lou Duhan, who was walking in to salute, had a somewhat complicated complexion, and was silent for a while before he said: "I am worried about it, a housekeeper invited by the next official before is very capable, but there is nothing to worry about. ”

"Sit down!" Hearing this, Gu Shao pointed to the stone bench opposite him, and said with some sadness, "Didn't you say it a long time ago?" When there are no outsiders, just call me 'grandfather', no matter how much you hate the Gu family, your grandfather never can't stand you, right? ”

- Speaking of which, he and He Lou Duhan are actually the grandfathers and grandsons of their in-laws.

It's just not publicly available.

Because He Lou Duhan's biological mother and biological father are not informally combined.

He is the product of Miss Gu's fornication before she left the cabinet - how many years of Hongzhou Gu's family reputation, since he refused to be cut off on Miss Gu, after the clansmen noticed the clues, they immediately asked the monk to clean up the door.

Gu Shao felt sorry for her daughter, and tried every means to let her live in Jiangnan after her death, and gave birth to He Lou Duhan as a widow.

In order to cover the eyes and ears of the clansmen, the father and daughter said that there would be no urgent matters in the future, and they would not contact each other again.

However, in the early years of Xianjia, Gu Shao was defeated in the hands of Jian Pingyu in the battle, and Zhishi returned to his hometown, but not long after, he received a secret letter from his daughter, saying that He Lou Duhan had amazing qualifications in reading, and it seemed to have passed on Gu Shao's talent.

At that time, Gu Shaozheng was sad that there was no successor, and when he heard the news, he went to Jiangnan suspiciously, and after a try, he found that this grandson was really born to study.

He was overjoyed, and he had the idea of bringing He Lou Duhan's mother and son back to the clan - this is also for the good of the Gu family, there are many children of the Gu family below him who have good conduct, but none of them have good academic talent.

In this case, He Lou Duhan, who is related to the Gu family, even if he does not change his surname to Gu, after the Gu family is cultivated and taught to grow up, he will not fail to take care of the Gu family.

But the Gu clan didn't think so, they knew that Miss Gu's mother and son were not dead, and they thought that this was a provocation to the family law, and it was also a corruption of the door.

It was a false agreement to Gu Shao's request, and changed the identity of Miss Gu's mother and son to a distant branch, and after welcoming back to the family, it didn't take long for Gu Shao to be poisoned when he was out - Miss Gu died on the spot in order to protect her son, and He Lou Duhan was also under the desperate maintenance of Gu Shao's old housekeeper until Gu Shao returned home and saved him.

After that, Gu Shao spent a lot of effort to calm down the matter.

It's just that He Lou Duhan can't live in the Gu family anymore, and after Gu Shao asked his opinion, he sent him to Jiangnan Foster Care where he was born.

And Gu Shao was reluctant to give up this grandson, yes, and then found an excuse to go to Jiangnan to live for a long time, in fact, it was to specifically instruct He Lou Duhan in his homework.

Although he said that he had no regret for his daughter and grandson, because of Miss Gu's death, there was a layer of estrangement between the grandparents and grandchildren after all-the clansmen who killed Miss Gu, Gu Shao has not treated them well until now.

After all, according to the opinion at this time, they were right to execute Miss Gu.

Even Gu Shao himself admitted that his practice of hiding his daughter and grandson was not in accordance with the rules.

So unless Gu Shao took the initiative to summon him, He Lou Duhan would never take the initiative to set foot at home.

At this moment, when he heard Gu Shao mention "grandfather", he was both melancholy and sad, and he was stunned for a while holding the tea bowl before he whispered: "I don't know what my grandfather has called this time, what do you command?" ”

He had also heard about the past two days on Cuihua Mountain, and knew that Gu Shao had not seen outsiders during this period in order to ensure the safety of the prince. This will be even busier when the smallpox is thoroughly investigated.

Suddenly called him, there must be something......

He was a little distracted, and suddenly heard Gu Shao say: "I want to get rid of Mrs. Yan Guo, I want to borrow your disciple!" ”

"What?!" He Lou Duhan never expected that his grandfather would call him over, it would be such a request, he was dumbfounded for a moment before he was stunned, "Why?" ”

"The mastermind who assassinated Princess Wei was the Lu family." Gu Shao didn't hide it from him, "Mrs. Yan Guo didn't suspect the Lu family before, so it's okay; If today's flower incident dragged the Lu family into the water, then the Lu Xu family made another exposé, and it would be strange if Mrs. Yan Guo didn't suspect the Lu family anymore! So how can you keep her? ”

"Since the Lu family is the real culprit, why do you want to keep her for such a poisonous woman?" He Lou Duhan didn't know much about the disputes between the Lu family, Song Yuan, and Wei Mengying, but his fiancée Pei Yourui, whom he really liked, was hired thanks to the help of Jian Xubai and his wife, and he naturally had a good impression of Jian Xubai and his wife.

Now when he heard this, he subconsciously said, "What's more, the master and apprentice are still father and son, although Guanyun's child was accepted to give face to Jian Xiuhuan and his wife, but his qualifications and conduct are excellent, but these days, I really treat him as a personal disciple." My grandfather wants me to help you murder his eldest sister, but I beg your pardon for not being able to do it! ”

"What kind of good person are you as Princess Wei?" Gu Shao shook his head and told some of the evil things Wei Mengying had done, including Wei Chan's experience, "Her death can be said to be self-inflicted!" ”

"What does grandfather mean by that?!" When He Lou Duhan heard this, instead of agreeing, he frowned, suspecting that Gu Shao was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

After all, his mother-in-law, like Wei Mengying, also did what seemed to outsiders to be guilty of death - the question is, as biological flesh and blood, who will tell them how to deal with their mother's hatred as children!?

"Where did you think of it?" Gu Shao sighed, "I'm just talking about Princess Wei—this is also for the good of your disciple!" ”

He reminded, "Princess Wei's death, her maiden family also has a share, so don't care about the lintel of the Wei family, the left and right will not avenge her; King Hengshan still thinks about her, but if he knows what she has done, it is hard to say whether he will advocate justice for her! The only people who will investigate the cause of her death are her children. ”

"And among Princess Wei's four biological flesh and blood, the county lord of Anyang has already died. The remaining three, except for Mrs. Yan Guo, who is already a mother, your disciple and the county lord of Xinling are still young. Do you say that Princess Wei's remaining henchman, with the already candidate of Mrs. Yan Guo, will tell you the truth now, as well as the county lord of Xinling? ”

Of course, this is impossible, after all, Lu Guanyun is only seven years old, and the county lord of Xinling is even younger, only four years old. It's hard for such a big child to keep a secret.

Especially Lu Guanyun is very affectionate with his father King Hengshan, and he has been taken by King Hengshan until now, what does he want to know, even if he doesn't take the initiative to tell King Hengshan, King Hengshan gets along with this little son day and night, and it is easy to see the flaws - in case King Hengshan realizes that his favored stepwife is not as good as he thought, it may affect the future of Lu Guanyun's brothers and sisters.

He Lou Duhan stared at the tea bowl in front of him for a while, then raised his head and said, "So what does my grandfather mean is that my disciple will not know the truth about his biological mother's death for the rest of his life?" ”

This also means that not only Song Yixiao is going to die, but Wei Mengying's remaining henchmen, such as Bo's mother and others, must also die!

"Since you really love your disciple, do you want him to be in such a dilemma as you are in the future?" Gu Shao said gently, "Especially as you also said, your disciple's conduct is not like his mother, which is excellent." When such a person grows up, he knows the cause and effect, and he may not be able to take revenge on his mother in a categorical way, right? But if he doesn't avenge his mother, you know best how the torment in his heart is! ”

He Lou Duhan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "I heard that the Song family is extremely rich, I don't know how many benefits Grandma Lu has offered you, so that you will not hesitate to plot to kill a lady for their mother and son?" ”

…… These undercurrents are surging, Song Yixiao didn't know it, she was pale at the moment: "It's really scaring me!" Fortunately, my sister is fine! ”

Two hours ago, the person who served Lu Zhuo'er, the county lord of Xinling, came to tell the truth, saying that Lu Zhuo'er had started a fever, which scared Song Yixiao so much that she almost lost her soul - she originally listened to the words of the young grandmother Kong of Hengshan Wangfu, and was afraid that this only remaining half-sister would not have anyone to take care of in Hengshan Wangfu, and follow in the footsteps of her younger sister Anyang County Lord, so she was taken to her side to take care of.

Who wants to catch up with smallpox, Lu Zhuo'er has been in no situation before, she is also relieved, she doesn't want to have a fever - just Lu Zhuo'er's weak physique, if it really comes out, it is basically impossible to survive!

How could Song Yixiao not be afraid?

Fortunately, the imperial doctor sent by the palace before—not the one who first treated Jian Qingyue, but the one who was sent later and had flowers himself—after careful diagnosis, it was determined that Lu Zhuo'er was not infected with smallpox, but simply had a cold.

When everyone heard this, a big stone in their hearts fell.

At this time, Song Yixiao wanted to investigate why her sister was suffering from a cold - after beating the next person, when she returned to the back hall, she still had palpitations, took the tea handed by the bell and took a sip, and then she calmed down: "Is there any new news outside today?" ”

The bell stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Song Yi smiled and couldn't help but say angrily, "Even if you hear something, you are afraid that I will punish you?" ”

"It's still the same news from outside today." Although the back hall was empty inside and out, the bell still subconsciously lowered his voice, "However, when the slave went to the back of the gate, she saw a paper ball thrown on the ground, it was ...... It was written by Bo's mother to the slave maid! ”

Saying that, he took out a flattened but still crumpled paper ball, Song Yi looked at it suspiciously, but found that there were some words on it, looking at the tone and content, it seemed to be a letter from a certain guard outside the courtyard at this moment.

She was surprised: "This doesn't seem to be Bo's mother's handwriting?" ”

"You don't know, Miss." The bell seemed to have made up her mind before revealing it, "This is after the princess and mother went, the slave and maid did not serve in the backyard, in order to prevent someone from falsely spreading Bo's mother's order, so she agreed on a password with Bo's mother - this word was indeed not written by Bo's mother, but this letter has a mystery." ”

Saying that, he explained the rules, Song Yi smiled and read it again, and couldn't help but change his face: "Mother Bo wants you to murder me?!" Why?! ”

"The slave and maid don't know, and even suspect that someone knows about the agreement between the slave and Bo's mother and wants to sow discord!" The bell was embarrassed, "But when I told Bo's mother this set of codes, no third person was present, and Bo's mother shouldn't have revealed this kind of thing!" ”

The meaning of the words is beyond the words, this should be what Bo's mother meant!

The master and servant are very puzzled, even if Bo's mother doesn't like Song Yixiao, but Lu Guanyun is still so young, even if Lu Guanyun is now favored by King Hengshan, this prince is old, and I don't know if he will continue to do so in the future, no matter how you look at it, Lu Guanyun still needs the help of Song Yixiao's sister.

How could Bo's mother, who is the most calculating person who can calculate gains and losses, want to murder Bo's mother at this time?

"Unless, someone gives her a bigger stack!" Song Yi smiled and thought silently, "Who is this person?" And how did he convince Bo's mother? ”
