Chapter 92: My Cousin's Grudge
King Su is the younger brother of King Jin, but compared to King Jin's spring breeze, King Su, the youngest son of the first emperor, is obviously more obscure.
In his previous life, Gu Wanning followed the regent to the national capital, and until his soul was gone, he had never heard the slightest news from King Su.
It can be seen that this cousin-in-law is as low-key as ever.
But no matter how low-key a person is, he is also a prince, and it is impossible not to have the slightest plan, especially now that the power of the vassal king is limited, the opening of the Qinglou, whether it is used to collect money or collect news, is a good channel.
It is true that although the times when Aunt Duan and King Su came to Yingchuan coincided, Gu Wanning did not dare to conclude that Aunt Duan must be King Su's person, and there was some speculation.
After all, Princess Jin is thousands of miles away, and she can't deal with herself, the Su family has been destroyed, and Princess Jin can only find King Su.
According to the regent, when Su Saburo was briefly imprisoned before, it was King Su who came forward and fished Su Saburo out.
But the problem is that King Su and the Su family have no friendship in private, so they can only be entrusted by Princess Jin.
It should be the same this time.
And that speculation has now been confirmed.
Aunt Duan was only surprised for a moment, and quickly said: "I don't know what you're talking about, my Aunt Duan has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and there has never been anyone behind her, it's nothing more than who gives me money and who I do things for." ”
Gu Wanning then asked, "Then who gave you the money this time." ”
Aunt Duan shook her head, "No one gave me money this time, the Su family was kind to me in the past, and I was purely unhappy for the Su family." ”
"You're such a disobedient person." Gu Wanning got up, "Master Cheng, thank you so much this time." ”
Cheng Yi bowed his head, "Since I am the prefect of Yingchuan, these are my own affairs, I will investigate this matter clearly and give you justice." ”
So he escorted Aunt Duan away.
At this time, in a teahouse outside Qunfang Building, it was very lively.
A group of spectators gathered in one place, and the one in the center was Gu Wanhua in the second room of the Gu family.
One of the girls from the Zhu family, who was good friends with Gu Wanhua, said to Gu Wanhua: "There are rumors that the second lady of your family who has married and returned home has been sold to the Qinglou, but is it true? ”
From the moment Gu Wanning stepped into the Qinglou, King Su had people secretly walk around the rumors at a very fast speed.
Many people who have nothing to do want to come and find out.
Everyone knows that Gu Erniang is the wife of the Xiansu family who has been in the limelight recently, and the one who has been ordered to leave her husband.
The fire of gossip burned in everyone's hearts, and people looked at Gu Wanhua, the daughter of the Gu family, and wanted to get some small news.
Gu Wanhua affirmed everyone's speculation, "My second sister did enter the Qinglou. ”
A burst of laughter ensued.
"Doesn't the Gu family have the money to support their mother and daughter, they are so self-despised that they sold themselves into the Qinglou."
It was some of the women who said this, and the disdain was palpable.
Gu Wanhua seemed to be explaining for Gu Wanning, "My second sister is not that kind of person, maybe because of the quarrel with the Su family, the things that Su Saburo doesn't like have always made the second sister angry, and from time to time someone says that the second sister takes her daughter home, which loses the face of the Gu family, which makes the second sister unbearable, and simply breaks the jar." ”
Everyone looked surprised.
A square-faced woman said: "Although your second sister is a husband who is going home, but in the final analysis, she can't win over a man by herself, and a person who has been married has been waiting in her mother's house for a long time, and you ladies who have not yet come out of the cabinet should indeed be ashamed." ”
"Poof." The round-faced woman beside her laughed directly: "It's not just shame, it's time to twist your hair and be a sister-in-law, or hang yourself with a handful of white silk, what's going on with entering the Qinglou." ”
"Isn't it that she can't hold her man, so she simply gives up on herself and wants to learn some kung fu from the girl in the Qinglou?"
As soon as these words came out, the people around them burst into laughter.
Gu Wanhua couldn't hold back either, and laughed along, but there was a burst of joy in her heart.
On that winter solstice, she failed to curry favor with the regent, but was disgraced by the regent, and knelt outside all night in front of everyone in the palace.
Gu Wanning in the house was shown love by the regent and shined.
is also a sister of the Gu family, she was humiliated, Gu Wanning, a person who has been married and has given birth to a daughter, how can she get the love of the regent.
Gu Wanhua didn't dare to hate the regent, but she remembered this resentment on Gu Wanning's head, feeling that Gu Wanning had stolen her limelight.
She was indignant all day long, and she didn't want to help her every day, and when she woke up early in the morning, she heard the news that Gu Wanning had entered the Qinglou, and immediately rushed over.
She didn't believe that a woman who had entered the Qinglou could still be liked by the regent.
The group of people laughed wantonly, and they might as well come on horseback, and the long whip flicked over everyone's cheeks, bringing up blood marks one after another.
The sound of the horse's neighing suddenly sounded, and the man looked back, dressed in a black brocade robe, and his face was handsome, but because of the indifferent expression on his face, it added a sense of solemnity to his handsomeness.
The people covered their faces in fright, shrunk into a ball of fright, and looked at the man on horseback, too frightened to speak.
There was a sound of footsteps, and the officers and soldiers led by Cheng Yi knelt down to greet the man on horseback, "Weichen participates in the regent." ”
It turned out to be the regent.
As early as the moment the regent appeared, Gu Wanhua had already hid behind everyone with a pale face.
Everyone exhaled in surprise, and then quickly knelt down.
"Master Cheng, let's talk to these people who believe in rumors, what A-Ning has done." The coldness in the Regent's tone was terrifying.
"The subordinate obeys." Cheng Yi stepped forward and said loudly, "Recently, there have been dozens of innocent missing women in Yingchuan inexplicably, and Gu Wanning put herself in danger, and finally found out that the murderer of all this is Aunt Duan in Qunfang Building. ”
"Do you understand?" The Regent's tone softened slightly.
Everyone should be yes again and again.
The regent also said, "If anyone dares to talk nonsense behind his back and spread rumors, be careful of the head of the person." ”
The warm blood on his face was still flowing, and the regent's bright threat made everyone's hearts tremble.
But they are all flat-headed people, the younger ones are only twelve or thirteen years old, and the older ones are only in their twenties.
The regent lowered his eyes, facing Gu Wanhua's flustered eyes, and the clear killing intent in his eyes made Gu Wanhua panic.
Gu Wanhua was so frightened that she squatted in place, and she didn't stand up until the regent left for a long time.
"Is this the regent, what a great official authority." The woman surnamed Zhu, who was the first to speak earlier, said: "Hua'er, what is the relationship between this regent and your second sister, and you are so maintained. ”
Gu Wanhua was scared in her heart, and was stunned when she heard this, "What can it matter, it's not all because of my third brother." ”
The tone was a little impulsive for a while.
That Miss Zhu was also a cheerful person, and immediately said: "Since it's because of Third Young Master Gu, then you are also the sister of Third Young Master Gu, why didn't the regent even look at you." ”
"Of course, that's because my third brother and I are cousins, separated by a layer." Gu Wanhua said solemnly: "That's all, the regent will never take a fancy to my second sister." ”
It was as if she had said this to herself.
A group of people don't believe it or not, but they all know that although the second lady of the Gu family returned to her parents' house from her husband's house, she had the regent as her guarantor, and she was not a person who could be discussed casually.
Gu Wanhua was afraid in her heart, worried that the regent would tell the elders about it, and the uncle had always been partial to the second sister, if he knew about it, he was afraid that he would punish her, so he didn't dare to go back for a while.
