Chapter 56: Money Is Not Everything

Faced with his crimes being cleared up by Gu one by one, Old Man Du's lips trembled slightly, he couldn't think of words to argue, and his vicious appearance was suddenly deflated, and he only asked in a daze: "Are you ...... How did you find out?"

"If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do!"

I really didn't expect Old Man Du to be such a person! Gu Lin pointed at him and trembled with anger, and the young maid in the room was the same, if you want to talk about Xiaolian's mother, I'm afraid there are few maids who can remember, either they left the country by themselves, or they were secretly murdered by Old Man Du.

"Plead guilty. "There is no more words to persuade him, and all kinds of heinous crimes are enough to put him in prison.

"Hahaha-" He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, his hands were raised in the air, his eyes were wide open, and there was a hint of fierceness in it, "Confess? haha, you want me to confess? Dream you guys!"

Gu Qing frowned, seeing that he began to show his teeth and claws, he didn't wear shoes and socks, he ran out barefoot, looked up at the sky deeply, full of unwillingness and resentment, and asked in a torn voice: "Why-why?"

Seeing that he reacted abnormally, the doctor was afraid that he would not be able to bear the blow, so he hurriedly followed.

The scene that Gu Lin and Gu Qing saw after they came out was that Old Man Du was lying on the snow, his hands were covered with his ears, his eyes were staring straight at the ground, and he was muttering silently.

The medicine has not had time to take effect, and the old man has not returned to normal, Gu Qing looked at the small square courtyard, there are many courtyards outside, in the future, I am afraid that the Du Mansion will be empty.

Old Man Du was taken back to the yamen, and there was an interrogation by the government, and Gu Lin sat next to him, at most he was a witness to the convict. That's fine, otherwise, when the old man comes to his senses, he wants to secretly buy officials.

The case finally came to a clean end, Gu Qing rubbed her sore shoulders, she was trapped with hemp rope very tightly, and when she returned home, she would definitely let Ah Huan give her a massage.

The women who were caught in Du Mansion were all sent back, only Ah Zi, who squatted on the steps outside Du Mansion, staring at the pedestrians coming and going, holding her knees and refusing to leave.

The thin back is regrettable.

"Why are you staying here? Go home and reunite with your loved ones. Gu Qing sat beside her and followed her gaze back and forth. Ah Zi was distracted, and after being disturbed, he didn't say a word, only played with his little finger, and looked very lonely.

"I'm afraid...... They hate me. ”

Suddenly, he felt that it was a bit rude to ignore others, but Ah Zi still replied slowly.

The woman who was arrested in Du Mansion like her, along with the twelve-year-old girl, was no longer complete. In an era of female chastity, she doesn't know what the use of her life is.

"Then you can't think about it?" Gu Qing didn't intend to comfort her, and followed the words and asked.

"I just...... A bit of a loss. Zi replied, leaning her face on her knees.

"Okay. Gu Qing clapped her hands and stood up, she had disappeared for so long, her mother must be in a hurry, and she didn't have time to do anything about her spiritual advisor here, "Then I'll go home first, it's cold or go back early." ”

Ah Zi didn't say anything, Gu Qing walked two steps and paused, then turned around and asked, "Why did you go to the cellar to save me?"

"Huh?" she asked suddenly, and Zi was stunned.

Then Gu Qing said: "I happen to lack a maid by my side, so I usually follow me to eat, drink, and have fun, and there is still a lot of money to get every month, if you think it's good, come to Gu Mansion to find me." ”

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.

There are big and small things in the courtyard, if she has a maid herself, she will definitely be spoiled and hurt like a sister, but it depends on Ah Zi's age...... I guess it's older than her.

Gu Qingcai didn't bother to care if she came or not, no one wanted to get along with money, anyway, she gave Ah Zi a chance, but she didn't want her to be in a downturn.

Her figure gradually disappeared in the snow, and Ah Zi looked at it for a long time, with a glimmer of brilliance in her eyes.

——————

Yu Niang didn't know how she had come over these days, and her heart was twisted like a knife when she thought of Gu Qing's uncertain life and death, that was her only daughter, the only bloodline. If Yin and Yang are separated in the future, and under Jiuquan, how should she have an explanation?

Fortunately, Gu Qing came back.

Seeing Gu Qing swaggering in, a trace of emotion could be seen on Yu Niang's pale face, she held Gu Qing in her arms, looked left and right, and asked directly: "Qing'er, where have you been? Are you cold and ......hungry?"

Ah Huan rushed over when he heard the news, and when he saw Gu Qing's playful appearance, he also cared a few words. Gu Qing was as happy as eating honey in his heart, but it was not easy to see that Yu Niang was worried about her and lost weight, so she hurriedly comforted her a few words, and then explained the ins and outs clearly.

Yu Niang prepared for the worst, she waited for so long, thinking that there was no hope, she would wait for a cold corpse, and she would be safe.

"Miss, you don't know, Madame hasn't closed her eyes for a long time. The atmosphere was lively, Yu Niang had tears in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were smiling, and when she saw Ah Huan suing in front of Gu Qing, she didn't admit it.

"Look, didn't I come back with a good look?" Knowing that her mother had a lot of worries, Gu Qing pulled her aside and sat down, pinched her shoulders obediently and obediently, with moderate strength, and let Yu Niang praise her.

"Where's your father, is he back?" asked Yu Niang again.

"Oh, my father is still in the yamen, the case has not been settled yet, and it is estimated that he is interrogating. ”

Yu Niang nodded, turned her head to Gu Qing and told him repeatedly: "You, you must bring a maid next time, it really makes me anxious." Even Ning'er sent someone back to ask, you can't be sloppy anymore. ”

"Yes, yes, my mother taught me. She didn't talk back, and let Yu Niang blame her until she was in a good mood.

After eating dinner early, Gu Qing climbed into the quilt, she poked her head out and watched Ah Huan make a fire in the house, and remembered what she had said to Ah Zi, I don't know if she will come, Ah Huan is not a few years younger than her, maybe she can become friends.

After lighting the fire, Ah Huan inadvertently raised her head, saw Gu Qing staring at her, didn't know what she was thinking, walked in front of her and shook it in front of her. When Gu Qing reacted, he slapped her hand away, and the crisp voice was extremely loud.

"It hurts, Miss!" Ah Huan covered his hands and complained quietly, with some complaint in his eyes.

"Pain is a long memory, let you interrupt me next time. After Gu Qing shook off a sentence, he covered his head in the quilt and began to prepare for sleep.

Ah Huan grimaced at her, neatly packed up the things that made the fire, and then closed the door and left.

Gu Qing slept deeply, but it was not fragrant.

It may be that the whole body is covered in the quilt, which causes the gas to circulate.

She had a dream, a nightmare, about Xiaolian's mother. She was among the small wine jars, the two holes in the black hole were particularly terrifying, she had no feet, but she stretched out her hands and rushed towards Gu Qing, and suddenly the picture turned and turned into Xiaolian, the same ruthless appearance, the scarlet eyes made Gu Qing's heart startled, and she was scared to wake up.

As soon as she lifted the quilt, she exposed her head and panted vigorously, her back was already soaked with cold sweat, and her head was dizzy.

It's just that the impression left in the cellar is too deep, so she ran into her dream for no reason.

Suddenly woken up with palpitations, Gu Qing didn't dare to fall asleep easily, with one hand on his head and the other on the quilt, he looked out the window with his eyes open.

There were two figures flashing, a man and a woman, and the shadows reflected in the window seemed to be father and mother.

Gu Qing looked at it and didn't move, but he heard the conversation outside.

"Qing'er has already fallen asleep?" Gu Lin asked, he deliberately lowered his voice, for fear of disturbing the people in the room.

Yu Niang sighed: "Fortunately, God blesses Qing'er without disaster, if she has any three strengths and two shortcomings, I don't want to live alone." ”

"What do you say? Didn't the people come back well? As long as you are safe and sound, you should also relax, don't think nonsense, it's getting late, go to bed. Gu Lin said with relief, and put one hand on Yu Niang's back and patted it gently.

"Probably...... It may be that he has a spirit in heaven and is blessing us. Yu Niang's voice was inaudible, but Gu Lin still heard it clearly, the sky was pitch black, and he didn't know if the deceased was staring at the world.

Yu Niang held his hand tightly with both hands, she couldn't see her expression clearly in the dark, and the gratitude in her words couldn't be concealed, "If it weren't for you, Qing'er and I might be ......"

"What nonsense? Aren't all right now? Let's go, it's time to rest. ”

Gu Lin hurriedly covered her mouth, and the words behind him didn't come out because he didn't want to hear it. The two were silent outside the window for a long time before leaving.

The window was separated from Gu Qing's bed at some distance, and she didn't hear what they were talking about, but judging from Gu Lin's movements, it should be An * Niang.

She sighed, her sudden disappearance this time must have frightened her mother, and she must have served her mother well. Seeing that her relationship with her father is so good, I don't know when she will be able to meet her other half.

When she saw Murong today, she was very surprised, why did he come? Is it also to investigate the case? It shouldn't be, and she doesn't necessarily care much about the case when she leaves decisively.

His eyes are deep, and if he looks at them for a long time, he will indulge in them.

After Gu Qing woke up from the nightmare, he couldn't sleep, and now when he thought of Murong again, he felt a little excited in his heart. I especially love his white-clothed elegance, standing in the crowd is so dazzling that she can find it at a glance.

Outside the window, the night is boundless, and the heavy snow has stopped in recent days, but there will be an evening breeze blowing, and there is a crisp creaking sound around the branches. Gu Qing tossed and turned, whether he slept sideways, he would always think of him in his head.

She pouted, covered her ears, and stopped thinking about herself.

The brazier placed in a corner of the room shimmered with a faint light, hidden in the silent night with her thoughts.
