Chapter 279: Dead
The evidence of Gu Deyuan's greed for ink is conclusive, and he was officially taken into custody and interrogated by Dali Temple yesterday.
Gu Lian was very upset when she learned the news, and she was also absent-minded about serving Mrs. Yao's breakfast. Mrs. Yao likes to eat steamed buns, but she sandwiched a shortbread for her, Mrs. Yao put down the dishes and chopsticks, and immediately sank her face: "Gu Lian, where is your soul?" ”
Gu Lian came back to her senses and saw the sister-in-law on the opposite side drinking porridge delicately, and the second sister-in-law peeled eggs for the girl sitting in her arms to eat, and the two of them didn't look at her. Gu Lian's face turned red, and she sandwiched the shortbread into a small plate on the side: "My daughter-in-law just didn't sleep well last night." ”
Mrs. Yao glanced at her and said lightly: "The shortbread crumbs are all in the porridge, won't you change a bowl of porridge for me?" Can't even serve people? ”
Gu Lian bit her lip, when her father hadn't had an accident yet, of course Mrs. Yao wouldn't be so unkind to her.
She could only change a bowl of porridge for Mrs. Yao, cheer up and wait for her to finish breakfast, and didn't dare to think about her father's affairs anymore.
After breakfast, she also had to serve Mrs. Yao to do needlework and nail dyeing, and even Mrs. Yao and several ladies played horse hanging, she had to help with the code cards next to her. It was only in the evening that Gu Lian sat down to have dinner with Mrs. Yao.
Seeing that his father-in-law didn't come over, Gu Lian was a little curious, he had always come to see Mrs. Yao at such a time. She asked, "Mother, is my father too busy with court affairs today, why didn't he come over for dinner?" ”
Mrs. Yao said slowly: "Lord Chen's son is married, so he naturally wants to go over to the banquet." "The relationship between Yao Ping and Chen Sanye is average, and Mrs. Yao has no intersection with the Chen family, so they didn't go over together. When she saw Gu Lian, she asked her with a smile: "Mrs. Chen San is not your sister, what, don't you know about this?" ”
She almost miscarried Gu Jinchao...... How dare you ask this?
Of course, these words couldn't be said, Gu Lian had no choice but to smile: "I've been busy with my father's affairs recently, and I forgot about it for a while." ”
Mrs. Yao didn't speak, and after a while, the second sister-in-law came over with the child in her arms, and the child threw herself into Mrs. Yao's arms and asked her to hold it.
Mrs. Yao smiled happily and teased her granddaughter, who had just spoken. After a while, he asked Gu Lian again: "That Aunt Lan...... You said she was doing something to you, what are you going to do with her? ”
Gu Lian replied, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know either...... But I can't spare her for such a thing! ”
Mrs. Yao took a rattle for the child to play with and shook it loudly.
"You have to be steady, and if you are a wife, don't cause trouble to your husband. It's time to serve, it's not Miss Boudoir, there's no such thing as being petty. You know? ”
Mrs. Yao should have known about the awkward incident between her and Yao Wenxiu...... Gu Lian endured and didn't say anything, and nodded.
When she returned to her residence, Gu Lian was so angry that she dropped a glazed teacup, and panted with a gloomy face. Mama lightly picked up the fragments and asked the girl to take the broom in and put it in. Now that I am angry and know that I don't talk nonsense, I will make progress.
Mama stood beside Gu Lian and whispered, "Aunt Lan said she wanted to see you...... It's been two days, do you want to see her? ”
"What does she want to say?" Gu Lian asked rhetorically, "It's a quibble to say anything, I don't want to listen to her!" ”
Mama smiled: "Aunt Lan said that it has something to do with Gu Jinchao, and she will only tell you alone." Say that it is useful if you listen to it...... She wanted a chance to change her life. You don't have much to lose by listening to it, maybe it's really useful? ”
Gu Lian thought of the day Gu Lan was locked up by her again.
She first begged for mercy and cried, but Yao Wenxiu came to help her speak and defend her. Gu Lian insisted on believing that Gu Lan did it, and sued Mrs. Yao. Yao Wenxiu was so angry that she moved to the outer courtyard to live alone. Seeing that there was no hope of getting rid of the crime, Gu Lan changed his face, cursed her with vicious words mercilessly, and said with a sneer: "Gu Pien! You dare to blame me! You're going to be killed sooner or later...... You deserve to be toyed with! ”
She was so angry that she asked the girl to hold down Gu Lan's hand and slapped Gu Lanji.
Gu Lan was stunned by her and cried with a whimper.
Gu Lian also felt a little unbelievable when she saw her crying, she thought that people like Gu Lan would not be convinced.
Soon she locked up Gu Lan and asked her to give her water and food every day. But when she really wanted to kill Gu Lan, she couldn't move a little. That's a real person! Mama disagreed with her indecision, and let her think about it for a few more days, Gu Lan would die sooner or later.
Gu Lian was already irritable, and she felt even more uncomfortable when she thought of Gu Lan's matter.
Mother said that if Yao Wenxiu didn't forgive her, she would choose an obedient and beautiful one by her side to open Yao Wenxiu's face.
Men, they all like the new and hate the old. When this girl is favored, where does Yao Wenxiu remember Gu Lan!
Gu Lian's eyes turned around a few times on the girl who was serving her, and the five girls she married were Laneige and Yeats with the best looks. Laneige grew up with her, and Yeats had a temper to rush a little...... Both girls have snow-white skin and beautiful figures.
Gu Lian closed her eyes and said coyly, "Mama, I want to sleep." I want to see her...... Let's wait for tomorrow! ”
Mama smiled and didn't persuade her again. Asked the girl to fetch water and came in.
This sleep was groggy, and Gu Lian was woken up by someone. She opened her eyes to Laneige's anxious face. "Madam, Aunt Lan has an accident......"
Gu Lian hadn't reacted yet: "She...... What could happen to her? ”
"Hanged." Laneige said in a low voice, "Mama Zhang has passed. ”
Gu Lian was completely sober at this time, the girl came in with her clothes and let her wear them, she was dumbfounded: "Didn't she say that she had something to tell me yesterday, why did she hang herself today!" When did this happen? ”
Laneige didn't know either, it was a little girl who didn't keep her head when she just came to pass the word, and the situation was not clear.
Gu Lian got dressed and rushed to the back room of the side courtyard.
There were lanterns hanging in the back room, and the two mothers-in-law who were guarding Gu Lan knelt outside the door, trembling with fright.
The wind was very cold in the early morning, and Yeats put a cloak on Gu Lian. Gu Lian put her hands in her cloak and glanced inside the door...... The person had already been put down by the mother-in-law, and she was startled when she saw only a shadow lying on the ground!
It's not that she sympathizes with Gu Lan, the person who was alive and kicking a few days ago suddenly turned into a corpse, and no one can accept it.
She asked her mother-in-law tremblingly, "What's going on?" ”
The mother-in-law, who wore a blue cotton jacket, said, "The slave found it...... The corpse is completely hard, I'm afraid it died last night. The slave maid was still strange, the meal sent in last night didn't move, and when the slave and maid went inside, they saw that the aunt had hanged herself. ”
Mama Zhang came out of it and nodded to Gu Lian, before she said to these girls: "Auntie hanged herself because she was afraid of her wife's punishment, you have all seen it!" The girl-in-law hurriedly responded. Mama Zhang immediately asked the two mothers-in-law to carry Gu Lan's corpse.
Gu Lian heard that the people who were hanged were terrible, so she stood in the corridor and waited for her mother-in-law to carry the corpse out. When she turned around, she still accidentally saw Gu Lan's purple face, and hurriedly pulled Mama Zhang over and talked to her: "She...... How is it possible to hang yourself? ”
Mama Zhang also felt strange, didn't Gu Lan have anything else to say? She shook her head: "Madam, let's leave this alone, it's better to die." lest you have to bother to get rid of her. ”
"But...... She died like this...... Not everyone else has to suspect that I did it! ”
Mama Zhang held down Gu Lian's hand and sighed: "You were going to do it too." ”
Gu Lian seemed to be thinking about something else and couldn't come back to her senses, and her hands and feet were cold.
Mama Zhang stretched out her hand to help her: "It's time to go and say hello to Mrs. Tai in a while, you can tell her about this when the time comes......"
……
Gu Jinchao didn't sleep well this night, and woke up at the end of the day. She turned her head sideways and saw Chen Sanye lying outward, and she didn't know if he woke up.
She turned over slightly, and heard his voice: "Awake? ”
The voice was clear, and it should have been awake for a long time.
Gu Jinchao snorted, and he turned sideways to hug her, but did not speak.
Gu Jinchao asked him, "You're going to Yamen the day after tomorrow, right?" "In fact, his injuries were completely unaffected half a month ago, but he has not been brought back to the cabinet for a long time. It's very comfortable to live with Chen Sanye, he always arranges things in advance, so he doesn't have to worry about her. Thinking that he was going to start going out early and returning late again, Gu Jinchao was still a little unaccustomed to it.
Chen Sanye didn't answer, but asked her, "Are you still used to running a big kitchen yesterday?" Has anyone embarrassed you? ”
"I used to learn from my mother at home, and then I learned from my grandmother, so I still have no problem managing these things."
Gu Jinchao said softly.
Before dawn, she curled up in Chen Sanye's arms, and the two of them talked almost like a whisper.
Gu Jinchao grabbed his hand, his hand was very good-looking, the hand of a scholar. The joints are distinct, and the fingers are slender. The palm of the hand is a little rough rubbing.
"What are you doing?" He let her play with her hand.
Gu Jinchao said, "I'll show you palmistry." His ground lines were shorter than hers, reaching only to the center of his palm. This is palmistry, which died young...... In his previous life, he died in Sichuan when he was less than forty years old.
"Your ground lines are very short, and this kind of palmistry is mostly kind-hearted people...... and it is easy to die young.
Gu Jinchao was a little hesitant, saying that dying young was always unlucky.
Chen Yanyun asked her, "Do you think I'm kind-hearted?" ”
Of course, Gu Jinchao didn't think so, but on the surface, he was indeed a very gentle person. She nodded, "You look pretty good." ”
Chen Yanyun smiled and said nothing. Putting his chin on top of her head: "And what else do you see?" ”
Gu Jinchao said: "The court is sinister, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Your ground lines are treacherous, so be careful. She held his hand tightly.
I don't want this person next to me to die. Gu Jinchao thought that she was hard-hearted enough, but she actually cared about Chen Sanye very much.
Gu Jinchao turned around and hugged him, and whispered, "Otherwise...... You better not fight. After saying that, she felt that it was inappropriate, Chen Sanye was ambitious and ambitious, and he was a type of person with very strong willpower. It's not that if you want to quit, others will let you go. This is indeed a woman's opinion.
Chen Sanye looked down at her, and heard her say again: "I said it casually, don't care." ”
He sighed, "I know it all. Don't worry, I'll be fine. ”
Who doesn't succeed in one fell swoop?
Maybe the assassination scared her, 1152
