Chapter 52: Confusion (2)
"Let's go, we're here. Xiaolian said in a deep voice, leaving no trace to hide the sadness in the corners of her eyes.
They came to the main courtyard of Old Man Du.
The maids in the courtyard, after seeing Xiaolian arrive with Gu Qing, were not a little surprised and curious, I don't know how many women come to the old man's courtyard every day, and at first they would remember their appearances and names, but after a long time, they didn't bother to worry about these things.
Xiaolian sent someone to prepare the bath bucket, and the maids responded again and again, carrying hot water in and out. She took a set of pink dresses from elsewhere and handed them to Gu Qing, the feel was delicate, and it was obvious that it was a high-quality product.
"The third young lady please, the slaves and maids went down first. Xiaolian said slowly, and went away with the other maids.
Fingers touched the pink dress, and there was a faint smell on it, like the smell of Chinese medicine.
Gu Qing listened to the sound behind the door, and made sure that no one was guarding outside, so he relaxed his vigilance. She slapped the splash in the bathtub casually, and the maids were also attentive, and put some petals on the water, which looked unique. However, bathing is just an excuse for her, since she can come to the old man's room, maybe she can find some secrets, if she doesn't find an excuse to let Xiaolian look at her every inch, it will be uncomfortable.
After searching the room with his eyes, Gu Qing began to search in a carpet manner.

With the support of the maids, Old Man Du came to the lobby slowly, raised his eyes, and saw that he was sitting on the side in a white dress, and his eyes that seemed to be clear but had already seen through looked straight at him.
This person is none other than Murong.
Old Man Du was suddenly shocked in his heart, he didn't know what Murong was coming from, when he went up the steps, he suddenly stumbled forward, if it wasn't for the maid's quick eyes and quickly pulled him down, I am afraid that he would have fallen to the ground on all fours.
In Murong's opinion, the scene in front of him did not have the slightest explanatory effect. Old Man Du is over half a hundred years old, and it is not wrong to think that his body is not as healthy as before, but he is also harmless, and if he wants to fall down deliberately, he is indirectly telling him that he is old and old, and he can't toss at all.
"Ouch, I don't know if the Prime Minister is visiting, the old man has missed the welcome, and I ask for your forgiveness. He walked into the lobby, took his cane, and pushed the maids away, and he walked up and down with his cane.
Murong bowed: "It's Mu who trespassed in without notification, and I hope Master Du will never be angry." ”
He waited outside the mansion early in the morning, but the subordinates of the Du Mansion were so bold that they refused to let him enter the mansion without notification. Fortunately, he followed Wei Cai and gave the guards guarding the door a dismount before agreeing to let them enter the mansion.
"Hehe, what's the point? The prime minister's visit made my Du Mansion shine, and the old man was too late to be happy, so how could he be angry? I don't know why the prime minister came here?" After finishing speaking, the old man Du covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and deliberately sat in his seat with difficulty.
Murong Wen smiled: "How can Master Du be confused, don't you always know why I came?"
Realizing that the person who came was not good, Old Man Du raised his eyes, and a sharp light flashed, and these words pointed the finger at him and asked him for an answer.
And Murong still has a faint expression, he is always like this, he feels that everything is not about him, but he always has to worry about it.
Wei Cai often thinks like this, his son-in-law looks cold and noble, but in fact he is the same as the tofu heart, which is very soft. Early in the morning, as soon as he heard that Miss Gu Fusan was missing, he immediately rushed to Du Mansion. He pouted, what did the son think in his heart, obviously there was already a sister in the house, but he always had to be in contact with Gu Qing.
He doesn't understand at a young age, is it true that every man is romantic? Do they all have wives and concubines?
Wei Cai thought wildly, and when he came back to his senses, the atmosphere in the lobby became colder and colder.
"The old man has already said that he doesn't understand what the Prime Minister is here for, and he doesn't understand what is the use of the Lord insisting on staying in the Du Mansion?" he gradually lost his patience, and his fingers were tightly clasped on the edge of the stool.
Murong didn't know why he had come, nor did he say when he would leave. There is something in the words for Old Man Du to guess and guess wrong, it seems that he came prepared and will not be sent away easily.
"Mu's task has not been completed, how can he just say that he will leave? Ming people don't say dark words, Du's mansion covers a large area, and Mu Mou is too lazy to send people to search one by one, Old Man Du still asks for a showdown, right?"
"Hehe, my mansion is clean, I don't know what the Prime Minister is looking for? Besides, I, Du, am just a commoner, Prime Minister, you can't be more serious with a small person like us. In case I accidentally sue the emperor and hurt the harmony between the adults and the emperor, it will not be good. ”
actually moved the emperor out! Murong sighed, thinking about it, this old man still doesn't know what his relationship with the emperor is, right?
"Presumptuous! My son-in-law grew up with the emperor since he was a child, and he has a very strong friendship, how can you allow you to provoke at will?" Wei Cai suddenly shouted.
Although the relationship between the two of them has been frozen beyond help, there is no doubt that they once had a good relationship.
Master Du was slightly surprised, he had never heard of such a relationship?
He couldn't help but be surprised, Murong pressed step by step: "Although Mu Mou has no right to manage this case, but the old man's hand stretched out too long and touched Mu's bottom line." ”
Wei Cai has always been puzzled, why did Gongzi take over this matter? and Gongzi's words, he also didn't know what he heard. It's just that when he got older, after knowing all the truth, Wei Cai thought, if he decisively broke off his relationship with Gu Qing at this time, if Gu Qing didn't appear in front of them again and again, would he regret it for the rest of his life?
The answer is not known, because there is no way to go back to what has happened.
Old Man Du was frightened, his previous rhetoric in front of Gu Qing was just talking, who in the world is not afraid of the emperor? Now that he knows that the prime minister has a great relationship with the emperor, he turned his eyes, and he was skeptical of Wei Cai's words, with the slightest hesitation.
"Old Man Du has tens of millions of family properties, but you don't want to say that if you don't have it, you won't have it, right?"
Murong gave the final warning, and as soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, especially the old man, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he couldn't hold back the displeasure in his heart.

"Knock knock—" Xiaolian knocked on the door, put her ear on the door, and asked, "Third Miss, haven't you bathed yet?" ”
There was no answer in the room for a long time, Xiaolian asked again, but still no one answered, just as she was about to push the door in, Gu Qing suddenly said in a loud voice: "It's okay right away, it's good right away." ”
The door had been pushed open a crack, and Xiao Lianwei looked in with one side and saw the figure inside. When no one answered, she thought something was going on inside, and now when she heard the voice, she stopped pushing the door.
Then, after a quick turn in her mind, she quietly closed the door and stood quietly on the side of the door.
Gu Qing found a big news!
She originally thought that Old Man Du abducted the young and beautiful woman to the mansion in order to vent her desires, and she was still thinking in her heart, she was already a lot old, and she was still thinking about tossing blindly, and that old bone was still very powerful.
However, it seems that this is not the case, and it is much more than that.
She dug out a wooden box under Old Man Du's bed, which contained some books of immortal methods for refining what kind of elixir, and the thin piece of paper was printed with human-shaped patterns, and the steps were extremely detailed.
When he first found the wooden box, he thought that there would be some gold and silver jewelry inside, hidden under the bed so that no one could notice it, and after seeing the messy books inside, Gu Qing couldn't understand it, he only thought it was astronomy, and he found that it was boring after flipping through a few sheets at random.
She couldn't understand the strange words on it, but she could see the diagram clearly, and then there was a knock on the door, and she hurriedly tore off two pages of paper and folded them and put them in her arms, which was the evidence of Old Man Du's crime.
If you want to say that the old man is really careless, how can he bear to put her in his room, isn't it obvious to block himself?
Don't worry about it for now, now that the evidence is in hand, she has to find a way to escape from this ghost place.
Gu Qing pushed open the door, wearing a pink skirt that was slightly feminine, coupled with her immature and delicate snow-white skin, she was extremely delicate.
Xiaolian was slightly stunned when she turned around, and the hair in her ears was still soaked in water, it was the first time she had seen such a beautiful woman in the mansion. The woman's appearance in front of her is not very beautiful, but against the background of pink, it is very different from before.
"Hehe, I was just admiring this beautiful dress, and I didn't even hear you call me a few times, I'm really sorry. Gu Qing scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, as if he was really guilty that he didn't hear the shout.
Xiaolian smiled faintly: "It's not in the way, I'll send someone to clean up the room." ”
The maids moved quickly, and the room was cleaned up after dividing by two, and Gu Qing also sprinkled some water on the carpet of the room in order to make them believe that they had bathed, creating a scene after bathing.
Xiaolian picked up a red petal stuck to the bath bucket, lowered her eyes, bent the corners of her mouth, and squeezed the petal tightly in her hand.
If she remembered correctly, the small petal in her hand had been glued to the edge of the tub before bathing.
Only Gu Qing and Xiaolian were left in the room.
Gu Qingxian was bored, talking to Xiaolian from time to time, and she didn't seem to want to talk much, except for a few words that were right, there was nothing else to say.
There was not much left of the pastries on the table for decoration, and after picking up another apple and biting it hard, she suddenly thought of the many women who were locked up in the yard, and deliberately asked Xiaolian: "Do you know why those women who were locked up in the yard were arrested?"
Xiaolian's eyelashes twitched: "Master's thoughts, how can we guess if we are subordinates?"
"That'...... What kind of alchemy furnace is there in Du Mansion?"
Xiaolian's eyes raised slightly, she was facing away from Gu Qing at the moment, and she saw all her movements in her eyes, including before.
When he knocked on the door, he saw her through the crack in the door, and saw that she had opened the old man's precious wooden box, took out the books inside, and tore out a few pages, and she could see them all clearly.
Thinking of the master's instructions, Xiaolian was ruthless, poured a cup of tea out of Gu Qing's invisible sight and handed it to her, and she added ecstasy to it. Since she inadvertently learned this secret, she should also leave this world silently.
