Chapter 29 The cause of death of the mother
The next few days passed peacefully.
Gu Xinling can receive sensual love letters and strange gifts every day, and Aqui, who secretly protects her, secretly sends them at night.
The enemy's bloody broken battle flags, the dirt of the forward positions, and the hand-painted vases made of shell shells......
Gu Xinling put the gifts in a rattan suitcase, she knew that this was Mo Anlin's mind, if she was another woman, she might not be able to understand the meaning of these things, but Gu Xinling understood, because she was a special forces military doctor and a veteran with several years of military experience.
Gu Xinling even likes these gifts a little, because these things can evoke her memories of the old military life. It's just those crepe love letters, but she doesn't like them at all.
"Miss!" Biyun walked into the room and put fruit on the table, since she was protected by the old lady, her life has been much better, "The old lady is going to the Jingyue Nunnery tomorrow to offer incense, and I want you to go with her." Even I, a maid, can follow the light and go out together to breathe. Miss, this is a good thing! ”
"Oh!" Gu Xinling nodded, not particularly concerned, "By the way, Biyun, can't you find time for me to talk to your mother alone?" ”
Biyun shook her head, "My mother is serving by the old lady's side, almost never leaving. However, tomorrow the incense will be offered, and the old lady will meditate alone in the ashram. I think there will be a chance then. ”
"Hmm!" Gu Xinling nodded, "Who else are you going with?" ”
"The nunnery can only go to female pilgrims, and only the lady and the second lady of the family can not go." Biyun continued.
"Female pilgrims can go? So what about my little brother? Is he home alone? Gu Xinling stood up all of a sudden, the Gu family was so chaotic, it was impossible for her to leave Gu Shaoyang at home alone, it was too dangerous.
"Don't worry, the old lady has already made arrangements, and the eldest young master will take care of the second young master. The eldest young master is the kindest person in the Gu family, and he will definitely not let anyone hurt the second young master. What's more, Shen Wande was still lying asleep in the guest room, and they didn't dare to do anything to the second young master. Biyun said very directly, this kind of thing is something that other maids and little maids dare not say easily.
Gu Xinling understood what Biyun meant, but she was still not at ease. Although there is Shen Wande, a living dead person, as a hostage, she still doesn't dare to guarantee that Shen will not make a move, even if she doesn't do it herself, will she design an accident? At this time, Gu Xinling couldn't keep his mind calm.
"I'm going to see my grandmother now!" Gu Xinling stood up, for her, Gu Shaoyang's safety came first.
At this time, Gu Shaoyang was practicing calligraphy alone in the room, accompanied by a tutor, and she could just chat with Mrs. Gu.
"Xinling is here? It's going to talk about going to incense tomorrow, right? Old Madam Gu pointed to the round stool, "Sit down and talk!" ”
"Grandmother, tomorrow incense, can I not go? I want to take care of Xiaoyang at home. Gu Xinling asked straight to the point.
"No! You haven't returned for a long time, and according to the rules of the Gu family, you must go. Otherwise, it is disrespectful to the gods and Buddhas. Old Madam Gu directly refused, and she knew that Gu Xinling was kind.
"In that case, grandmother, can you take Xiaoyang with you tomorrow?" Gu Xinling got straight to the point, "Although the nunnery does not accept male guests, Xiaoyang is just a six-year-old child!" ”
"No! Although Xiaoyang is a child, he is a boy. There should be no blasphemy in the slightest. Old Madam Gu hurriedly shook her head, "Xinling, I know what you're worried about, grandmother cares more about Xiaoyang's safety than you." Grandmother has already made arrangements, Biyun should have told you, right? ”
"Grandmother, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. I don't want my eldest brother to take care of Xiaoyang, it's not that I doubt my eldest brother's character, but that I'm a little secret. Gu Xinling paused and said, "I want my mother to come forward and take care of Xiaoyang personally." ”
"No, wouldn't that be a sheep's mouth." Old Madam Gu didn't think about it, so she directly objected, and her face changed.
Sister-in-law Wu hurriedly helped and said, "Old lady, don't be angry. The eldest lady's love for the second young master is obvious to all, maybe the eldest lady has her reasons. You might as well listen to the eldest lady and tell me about it! ”
Biyun was also in a hurry, she didn't understand how her eldest lady could come up with such a strange idea. However, at this time, her identity was not suitable to speak, so she could only squeeze Gu Xinling's eyes desperately, for fear that she would anger the old lady.
Gu Xinrui stood beside the old lady, waiting for Gu Xinling to say the wrong thing.
"Grandmother, Xiaoyang is taken care of by the eldest brother, and it is the responsibility of the eldest brother if there is an accident; But it is the mother's responsibility to leave it to her mother's care, and if something happens, it is her mother's responsibility. My grandmother was a wise man, so she understood what I meant. The responsibility lies with her mother, but she does not dare to act rashly. Gu Xinling directly pointed out the key point, "Please grandmother believe me, I attach importance and care to my little brother, and the world can be expressed." I won't put my little brother in danger! ”
"Hmm!" Old Madam Gu nodded, "What you said does make some sense, I will consider it carefully." ”
Sure enough, in the end, the old lady finally adopted Gu Xinling's suggestion and crooked Shen's nose, but there was no way to do it.
The next day, I went to Jingyue Nunnery to offer incense, everything went smoothly, the wind was beautiful, and there were not many pilgrims. Now Gu Xinling is regarded as her own by the old lady, and no one dares to provoke her, but she is clean.
"Miss, the old lady has gone to meditate and worship the Buddha, and my mother is in the pavilion over there." Biyun said in a low voice.
Gu Xinling looked at Gu Xinrui on the side, she was chatting with Aunt Su, so she nodded, "Biyun, keep an eye on it." ”
"Sister-in-law Wu, I'm sorry, I took the liberty of wanting to see you." Gu Xinling went to the pavilion and saw Sister-in-law Wu who was a little anxious.
"The eldest lady is polite. In the past, the biological mother of the eldest lady had a life-saving grace for me, and I was the nursing mother of the eldest lady. Sister-in-law Wu paused, "I know the purpose of the eldest lady looking for me, even if the eldest lady doesn't look for me, I will find an opportunity to tell the eldest lady about those things." ”
Gu Xinling nodded, she believed in Sister-in-law Wu, because her eyes were sincere, "Time is not much, let's make a long story short." ”
"The eldest lady's mother did not die of illness, but was killed." Sister-in-law Wu got straight to the point, "In the past, the eldest lady was only twelve years old, and if I said it, the eldest lady couldn't do anything." But this time, when the eldest lady came back, she acted with extraordinary grace and was already capable of avenging her mother, so I dared to say this. ”
"Grandmother? Or Shen? Gu Xinling asked.
"They...... Share! There is even the acquiescence of the master. When Sister-in-law Wu said this, there was a little sadness in her tone.
Over the years, the old lady has treated Sister-in-law Wu well, and she didn't want to betray the old lady, but she had to say these words.
"At that time, Mrs. was pregnant with the second young master, and she was originally in good health, although the Shen family tried to kill her several times, but Mrs. escaped. In the end, the Shen family bought off the midwife, and wanted to have two lives in one corpse, but the old lady finally saved the second young master. Sister-in-law Wu frowned, recalling the events of the year, still worried, "I don't know if the eldest lady remembers that your grandfather's family used to be wealthy?" ”
"I don't remember much." Gu Xinling could only say this, "Could it be that they are seeking money?" ”
"Yes!" Sister-in-law Wu nodded.
"Back then, the old man wanted to be promoted to the director of the Accounting Bureau, but he lacked money to do it. I wanted my wife to go back to her parents' house to get the money, after all, my wife was an only daughter. Madame also went back to her parents' house to say it, but your grandparents were not happy and did not want to give any money. Sister-in-law Wu sighed.
"Why not? Don't my grandparents love my mother? Gu Xinling was a little puzzled.
"It's not that I don't love your mother. Because when the lord married his wife, he promised not to take a concubine, but after the lady entered the door, it was less than half a year before he married two concubines. The first room is the current Shen family, and there is the Su family, the biological mother of the eldest young master. Especially the Su family, who is still younger than Mr. Madame. Your grandparents are cold to your father, and they just want to leave more money for your mother, even if you can't survive and leave one day, your mother will not be poor with you. Sister-in-law Wu's tone was also helpless.
Gu Xinling sneered, "So, for the sake of money, they conspired to kill my mother, and my grandparents are old and frail, so they must not be able to withstand this blow." ”
"Yes! The eldest lady is really transparent. Sister-in-law Wu sighed, "When your grandfather heard the news of your mother's death, he immediately had a heart attack and vomited blood and died. Your grandmother couldn't resist the blow and committed suicide by hanging herself. ”
"In the end, your father, as a son-in-law, inherited his father-in-law's family business and became the director of the Accounting Bureau as he wished. It's just that it hurts the eldest lady. Shen provoked, you were sent to the countryside to suffer at the age of twelve, and you can only return home until now. Sister-in-law Wu's eyes were filled with tears, "Miss, it's good that you know this matter in your heart, you just came back, and your foundation is unstable, so don't act rashly." ”
"I understand Sister-in-law Wu's kindness." Gu Xinling clenched her fists, "But, wasn't my mother defenseless back then?" ”
"Yes! Otherwise, it is impossible to avoid several dietary poisonings and accidents. However, it is impossible to prevent it! The midwife was chosen by the lady herself, and I didn't think there was a problem at the time. It was only after the incident that I accidentally saw Shen giving money to the midwife and heard their words. Otherwise, who can find out what is done during this production? If I had known about it, how could such a thing happen? Sister-in-law Wu looked like she was beating her chest, "When the lady died, the eldest lady was driven away, and the second young master was still in infancy, I can't say anything about this, so I can only endure it until today." ”
"I understand the situation of Sister-in-law Wu at that time, even if you tell the truth, not only will you not be able to avenge my mother, but you will harm yourself. And, over the years, little brother has been taken care of thanks to your help. Gu Xinling held Sister-in-law Wu's hand, "Sister-in-law Wu, I know this matter clearly, so naturally I won't let them go." It's not easy for you all these years, just don't know anything! I don't want to implicate you and Biyun. ”
"By the way, Sister-in-law Wu, the eldest brother's legs ......," Gu Xinling asked.
"The Shen family is harmful!" Sister-in-law Wu said bluntly, "The Shen family can't give birth to a son, so naturally they can't get used to the eldest young master." It is said that the eldest young master was injured in the leg, and she deliberately changed the medicine. I don't know exactly how. But Aunt Su hated her to death, and she wanted revenge, but she couldn't fight the Shen family. ”
"I see." Gu Xinling nodded.
Gu Xinling left the pavilion, since she occupied this body, she wouldn't care about it, not to mention that she and Shen had already torn their faces, even if she didn't make a move, Shen would make a move.
Gu Xinling returned to a resting room, she wanted to be quiet and rationalize her thoughts. She had always wanted to know how the original owner of the body left the Gu family, but the truth surprised her, the infighting of the big family was so tragic and terrible.
"Walk the water, walk the water!"
Gu Xinling heard a burst of chaos outside, "Walking water? Is that a misfire? By this time she could already smell the thick smoke.
