Chapter 41: Absconding
After finishing the meal with the old lady and talking for a while, Gu Wanyin slowly went back to the house to sleep.
After squinting her eyes and pretending to be asleep, it was a long time later, until she heard Lanqin's breathing slow down, she opened her eyes again, and quietly climbed up by the moonlight outside the window.
Fumbling for her clothes, she picked up the lantern and flint that she had hidden long ago, opened the door and slipped out. Thought that no one had discovered all this at all.
But if she looked back, she would find that Lan Qin didn't know when she also straightened up and watched her go out.
Lan Qin also tiptoed out of the house with her clothes on, and went to Bihe's room to call Bihe first, and the two secretly followed behind Gu Wanyin.
Gu Wanyin only paid attention to her feet and ahead, unaware that someone was following behind. I cautiously touched the place where the woman was locked all the way, but found that someone was guarding the door.
Fortunately, the janitor was already asleep. There was a pot of wine and a plate of braised vegetables beside him, apparently full of wine and food.
Gu Wanyin was about to touch it, but when she looked up, she was startled by the shadow that suddenly passed in front of her, and she almost made a movement.
"Sister." A hand rested lightly on her shoulder, and if it weren't for the familiar voice, she would have screamed in fright.
Even though she didn't have the intention of being frightened, she was still surprised, and couldn't help but lower her voice and asked, "Brother, why are you here too?" β
Gu Congrui had a slight smug look on his face: "What my sister can think of, why can't I think of it?" β
Gu Wanyin couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and smiled, yes, my brother is always so careful and smart.
Seeing her smile, Gu Congrui also had a smile on her face: "Sister, don't worry, everything has me." As he spoke, he straightened his chest and looked like he was volunteering.
Gu Wanyin nodded, and took the initiative to put her hand into Gu Congrui's hand: "I am relieved to have my brother here." β
Gu Congrui held her hand tightly, and his smile gradually converged, becoming a little solemn: "Let's go, let's go in and ask, who is going to kill my mother?" β
The two cautiously approached the room. But when I looked at it, I realized that the door was hidden, and it was clear that someone had entered or gone out.
When Gu Wanyin saw such a situation, she suddenly felt a "groan" in her heart, her intuition was not good-could it be that the people behind her couldn't wait to kill people? Is it still being preempted?
At that moment, she couldn't help but be a little anxious, and lowered her voice and said, "Brother, let's go in and see the situation." β
Gu Congrui nodded, jumped over the mother-in-law guarding the door, and reached out to push the door.
Gu Wanyin suddenly reached out and grabbed him, and hesitated to let him come back. My brother is still too young, if he is really killed, she doesn't want his brother to see the bloody scene.
Gu Congrui looked at her with some puzzlement, obviously not understanding her thoughts.
Gu Wanyin brushed her hair and said resolutely: "I'll go in first to see, brother, you are guarding for me outside." β
Gu Congrui didn't doubt him, nodded at the moment, and then took a step back and moved out of the way.
Although Gu Wanyin said that she wanted to go in and see it by herself, she was still a little weak in her heart, and she almost gritted her teeth and stepped in. After entering the house, I didn't dare to look directly inside, and listened to the movement for a while with my eyes closed.
However, she could not hear the sound of someone breathing. There was dead silence all around, except for the sound of insects and wind outside.
Her heart was beating uncontrollablyβwas she really late?
At this time, even if she was afraid in her heart, she had to open her eyes and glance at it quickly.
However, nothing was seen. That mother-in-law is not there.
Gu Wanyin couldn't help but take a closer look at it several times. It was true that no one was in the house, everything was in order, as if no one had ever existed.
After looking around, she found no corpses or traces of a fight, and she suddenly felt as if she was relieved - looking at the situation, it was not like an extinction, but like an escape. Eighty percent of that mother-in-law ran away. I really didn't expect that after being beaten like that, the woman still ran away.
She was a little disappointed, but she felt that she was lucky to run away, not dead. As long as the broken woman is still alive, then she will definitely find someone. It's just that it may take a little longer.
After this half a day, Gu Congrui, who was outside, was already impatient, and couldn't help but step in: "Sister, how is it?" β
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Gu Congrui was taken aback: "What about people? β
Gu Wanyin suppressed the confusion and other thoughts in her heart, and replied lightly: "Ran away." β
Gu Congrui was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and cursed in a low voice for a few words before he eased up. Then he couldn't help but look at her and asked, "Sister, what now?" β
Gu Wanyin pulled her cloak and yawned: "Of course, go back to the house and sleep." Otherwise, we will be found out that we are not in the house, and many things will be born. β
Gu Congrui nodded, and pulled her out without thinking too much, and then the two of them went back to their rooms without mentioning it.
Early the next morning, the old lady received the news that the mother-in-law had escaped. At that time, Gu Wanyin's two siblings were accompanying the old lady to breakfast.
Hearing the news, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and then tacitly lowered their heads and continued to eat.
However, the old lady was taken aback, and then her brows furrowed: "Are you looking for it everywhere?" Look for it along the way out of the city. Also, who guarded the second gate in the house last night? Isn't there anyone else looking at her specifically? Why did you run away? β
The person who spoke back and forth suddenly broke out in a cold sweat - "The second door said that there was nothing unusual, and it is estimated that he did not go out from there." As for the guards, they drank too much last night and slept to death, and we didn't wake them up until this morning. β
The old lady was suddenly furious: "Punishment, give me a severe punishment!" Recently, the atmosphere at home has really gotten worse and worse! β
When Gu Wanyin heard the old lady say this, she suddenly had some doubts in her heart - even if the doorkeeper was drunk, how did that mother-in-law escape? Although the Gu family is not impregnable at night, it is impossible to enter and exit at will. Without the old lady's instructions, even Gu Changfei couldn't just let people open the door and let them go.
Or is it β an internal response?
Gu Wanyin felt that this might be bigger. She couldn't help but sneer in her heart - if there was really an internal response, it meant that this matter had been planned for a long time. With such a big stroke, there are always clues, she will definitely find out one by one, and then avenge her mother.
Originally, she was worried that there was only one clue about her mother-in-law, and it would not be easy to find out the truth. But now, she was relieved. It is easy for a mother-in-law to be killed, but if she is so generous, she can't kill everyone who knows about it.
