Jin Chao did not continue to ask his mother, but returned to Qingtong Courtyard and found Tong's mother to interrogate, Tong's mother was an old man who followed her mother to the Gu family, and she basically knew about the Gu family.

Tong's mother thought for a while before she said, "Actually, Aunt Yun is not considered to have died of dystocia......

"Not counting?" Jin Chao frowned, what is this saying.

Tong's mother nodded: "At that time, when Aunt Yun was eight months pregnant, she accidentally ingested the decoction to induce labor. In fact, no one understands that she usually drinks fetal pills, how can she be mistaken by a careless girl. said that this accidentally ingested the decoction to induce labor, as long as Aunt Yun gave birth to the child smoothly, it would be fine, at most it would be good to recuperate after giving birth...... happened to encounter Aunt Yun's dystocia and blood collapse, and in the end, the adults and children were not saved. That's why the slave said that even if he died in childbirth, it wouldn't count. ”

Jin Chao didn't feel right when he thought about it: "How can there be a decoction in the house to induce labor?" ”

Tong's mother continued: "Aunt Yun's three sisters are all from Jiangnan, and it was a very famous doctor named Su Qi in Hangzhou who came to give Aunt Yun a baby at that time. The old man originally thought that there was a difference in the health of people in the north and the south, and it was better for Su Qi to give Aunt Yun a safe birth than the doctor in the north of Zhili. Su Qi was inconvenient to come and go, not only left the fetal medicine, but also prepared the oxytocic medicine first, so as not to wait until Aunt Yun gave birth when he couldn't come, and he would make a mistake......"

Jin Chao clasped his hand on the table and thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, "What about the girl who got the wrong decoction?" ”

Tong's mother's voice lowered: "I was beaten to death by the master with a stick, and then dragged to a mass grave and threw it away...... Another girl who was good with her wanted to bury her quietly, but when she went to the mass grave, her body was gnawed by wild dogs...... That girl was later released from the house to marry when she reached her age, and since then, no girl in the Gu family has known about it. ”

Jin Chao asked Tong's mother to step back first, and sat on the kang and held the stove to think.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Qingpu asked, "Miss thinks there is something wrong with Aunt Yun's death?" ”

Jin Chao shook his head slowly: "That's not the case, this may indeed be a coincidence." She was just habitually suspicious, she married Chen Sanye in her previous life, and his three aunts were not fuel-efficient lamps, and they bit each other to death. There are also the Chen family's uncle, the second master and others, there are even more intrigues in their inner courtyard, and she saw a lot of everything at that time.

Jin Chao didn't think about it anymore, but asked Qingpu with a smile: "Aren't you going to eat and drink?" I saw that Bai Yun and Caifu had gone. ”

Qingpu shook his head and said, "The slave and maid won't go to join in the fun...... There must always be someone around the young lady. ”

Jin Chao lazily lay on the big pillow: "You can also go and take a look, it doesn't matter if there is anyone around me, besides, Yuzhu and Yutong are still outside." You have never had any good girls in the Gu family...... I took the opportunity to eat and drink, and I also got to know more people. ”

Qingpu has an introverted personality and does not like to interact with people.

Qingpu thought about it, and didn't want to brush off the young lady's kindness, so she smiled and said, "Then the slave will go and see." If you get candy, I'll bring you some back......"

Jin Chao bowed his head, and called Yuzhu to come in and look at the fire.

The wine table was set up next to the lake pavilion, and Qingpu walked out of the Qingtong courtyard and walked along the blue brick road in the direction of the lake pavilion. As soon as he walked outside Jingfangzhai, he saw Gu Jinrong walking out with Qing Xiu. She was about to go forward to greet the eldest young master, but she saw Gu Lan's girl Ziling also happened to come from the corridor on the other side, and happened to run into Gu Jinrong. Qingpu's footsteps paused.

Ziling seemed to be talking to Gu Jinrong......

Next to it is the rockery of Taihu Lake stone.

Qingpu originally practiced foot skills, and had to tie his feet with a 20-pound iron sand bag, and he also had to be light. In the long run, she practiced as light as a swallow, and jumped three feet higher than ordinary people.

She wanted to listen to what Ziling and the eldest young master said, so she landed on the rockery in three or two, and quietly crouched behind the mountain after getting closer.

“…… Why did Sister Ziling come from Huxie, did the second sister ask you to pass the word? "It's the eldest young master who asked.

The corners of Qingpu's mouth moved slightly, the eldest young master would never be so polite to them.

Ziling replied with a smile: "Don't you know, the eldest young master still doesn't know, the old man has just married an aunt, and he is setting up wine next to the lake pavilion, and the girl and the mother-in-law with a head and face are going to go." ”

Gu Jinrong was puzzled: "Auntie? How I haven't heard of it. ”

Ziling said: "Don't talk about you, we didn't know before!" I heard Zhao's mother say that this aunt was found by the eldest lady from Taihe County in Tongzhou. The new aunt was originally engaged, and the two were happy, and it was time to talk about marriage. However, the eldest lady insisted on this person, and she broke up the family alive and brought her home with her. ”

Gu Jinrong didn't know that the Jin Dynasty had done these things in Tongzhou, and he was still busy discussing the craftsmanship with a few cousins.

His brows furrowed deeply: "Break up people? Why would she do it? ”

Ziling shook her head: "The slave doesn't know either, I just heard what Mother Zhao said...... Aunt Song hadn't slept well for several nights because of this. The slave maid guessed that it might be that the eldest lady was unhappy when she saw that Aunt Song was too favored, and wanted to make trouble with Aunt Song. You also know that she and Miss Second have had conflicts recently...... The eldest lady is arrogant, and the old man will never agree, but how can he beat the eldest lady......

Qingpu was dumbfounded when he heard it behind the rockery, this Ziling actually slandered Miss so much in front of the eldest young master!

Gu Jinrong was even more surprised: "She is a boudoir woman...... How...... Why do you still help your father take a concubine! ”

He read the books of sages and sages, and felt that women should abide by etiquette, since his father and husband, he had never seen such an unruly person as Gu Jinchao. This is also too capricious, because I don't like it, do I have to take a concubine for my father, what is this saying...... also has to break up a pair of mandarin ducks, he has never seen such a domineering woman as Gu Jinchao when he is so old!

Ziling stopped at the point and said no more. He saluted and said, "The slave and maid are just guessing, don't take it seriously, and don't say that the slave told you, otherwise the slave and maid will suffer...... The second lady still had an errand there, so the slave went back first. ”

Gu Jinrong nodded and asked her to retreat, and sighed heavily: "My eldest sister...... It really makes me shameless! Sometimes...... I'm really ...... I wish I didn't have such a sister! ”

Qing Xiu echoed: "Don't worry about it...... The eldest lady has always been like this! ”

After the two masters and servants said this, they walked along the blue brick road in the direction of Juliu Pavilion.

Qingpu stood behind the rockery and waited for them to leave, his fists clenched. She was originally a person with little mood swings, but today she was also angry with this Ziling and the eldest young master. Miss has been living a long time recently, she knows best, but she thinks about Mrs. and the eldest young master everywhere, but she still has to be slandered like this, as the younger brother of the young lady, the eldest young master actually listened to Ziling without the slightest suspicion, and said something like 'I don't want to have this sister'......

She didn't go to the banquet anymore, and turned around and went back to Qingtong Temple.

Jin Chao was surprised to see her come back so early: "Why did you come back so soon......"

Qingpu took a deep breath and told Jin Chao what had just happened. “…… Ziling came from the lake next to Jing'an Ju, and when she returned to Cuixuan Courtyard from Jing'an Ju, she would definitely not pass by Jingfangzhai, I'm afraid that Miss Ziling would have been waiting for the eldest young master there for a long time! ”

Jin Chao smiled after hearing this: "Ziling is not so smart, this is what Gu Lan taught her." I felt strange, even if Jin Rong didn't get along with me much and heard a lot of rumors outside, he wouldn't be so disgusted with me. It turned out that someone was adding fuel to my fire in the back. Today is for you to hear, and there must be more when you don't hear it. Maybe I have lost my conscience and have no humanity......"

Qingpu was very hesitant: "Do you want to explain it to the eldest young master......"

Jin Chao sighed and said, "Explain what, in order to win Aunt Song's favor, I want to take a concubine for my father." I was afraid that he would not agree, so I deliberately went to Taihe County to find Russell to come back, and did not hesitate to break up her original marriage. What she said was true, and I did do these things, and I did do them wrong...... How can I explain that? ”

Qingpu knew that was the case...... However, she felt that the young lady was right! But she was clumsy and couldn't understand.

Yuzhu watched the fire from the side and listened very carefully. She blinked her eyes and said, "Because Sister Qingpu is following Miss." ”

Jin Chao glanced at Yuzhu, don't look at this girl's young age, and she is smart. She smiled wryly and said, "You think I did nothing wrong because you were with me." Gu Jinrong feels that I am wrong everywhere, because his heart is towards Gu Lan and Aunt Song, I say this, do you understand? ”

What she did was just to protect herself and her mother, and she didn't mean anything else. Qingpu is with her every day, how can she not know her dilemma, if she doesn't find Russell to come back, let Aunt Song continue to be favored, it will be difficult after she has a concubine. Gu Jinrong was devoted to Gu Lan and Aunt Song, feeling that Gu Jinchao was thinking about embarrassing them all day long and harboring evil intentions.

If it's true that you don't like someone, then whatever she does, it's wrong.

It's so simple.

Jin Chao remembered his previous life, and he also made pastries for Chen Xuanqing, and when she gave them to him, he was scolded for being shameless. If other young ladies gave it away, he just gently praised others for their kindness, and the boy next to him would tease him a few words.

Qingpu looked at Jin Chao quietly, she looked out the window, her expression was very peaceful, but there was always something special...... Unspeakable loneliness.

Jin Chao said: "If he sees Gu Lan's face clearly, he doesn't need any justification, he will naturally understand." ”

"What if, Second Miss, they continue to talk about you in front of the eldest young master?" Qingpu asked her.

Jin Chao shook his head and said, "As soon as the Ninth Academy is about to open in early February, Gu Jinrong will definitely leave before that." It's better to wait for Jin Rong to leave, he is always in the way in the inner courtyard. ”
