Chapter 208: Inquiry

"What do you think of coming to Nàoshi today?" Seeing that Xue Liu gradually let go of Songxià, Gu Wanyin suddenly threw out such a question.

Xue Liu was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person stiffened, and his expression was extremely unnatural. And subconsciously, Gu Wanyin wanted to investigate this time, so she hurriedly stood up and said solemnly: "Princess Shizi, you-"

"I'm not trying to care about it." Gu Wanyin saw Xue Liu's like this, and without waiting for her to finish speaking, she faintly denied Xue Liu's idea, and looked at Xue Liu's with a burning look: "It's just you nàoshi, why the hell?" "Xue Liu does seem to be an honest woman, but it doesn't look like he would come up with the idea of nàoshi.

Xue Liu hesitated for a while, and then said with a red face: "The little woman first thanked the deceased concubine a lot. The little woman also listened to Yongzi's words, and for a moment she was blinded by lard, thinking that she didn't know how to live in the future when her husband left, so she ......"

"In other words, this idea was proposed by Yongzi?" Gu Wanyin raised her eyebrows slightly, but she sneered in her heart. It seems that he guessed correctly, and it was really not Xue Liu's idea. As for that Yuko—"That Yuko is your husband's younger brother, right?" When she asked this, Gu Wanyin's expression was extremely flat, as if she was saying something insignificant.

Xue Liu nodded, and the shame on his face became even stronger: "If it weren't for the princess's indifference, we would have been sent to prison." ”

In other words, Yuko came up with the idea. Do I want you to ask us for some money? Gu Wanyin continued to ask, her expression still indifferent.

Xue Liu almost didn't dare to raise his head, and his voice was even more like a mosquito: "That's true, that's right." It's just that Xue Liu regrets it in his heart now—he shouldn't have listened to Yongzi's words at all! Such a reckless nàoshi, if people really want to investigate, who will care about their ordinary people? Even if people protect each other, what about officials? This has been the case since ancient times...... Now it's good, the original purpose has not been achieved. Instead, such a thing came out!

Now Xue Liu no longer expects how much compensation he can get, but is thinking about whether the three of them have a chance to go out! She just took pity on the two children......

Come to think of it. Xue Liu became more and more restless, and his heart was even more hesitant.

Gu Wanyin naturally knew all of Xue Liu's reactions, and at the same time knew about them. Xue Liu didn't necessarily say everything. But it doesn't matter if Xue Liu doesn't say it, he can always find a way to find out, right?

"Since you have no place to live now. There is no entanglement either. Then how do you see this-" Gu Wanyin settled down and showed a smile, "I'll help you find an inn, and you can live in it first." We pay for food and housing. When the yamen finds out clearly, if it is really related to our Zhou family, I will naturally not deny it. But if not; When the time comes, I'll have to ask you to help us clarify a thing or two. ”

Naturally, this condition is extremely generous. But because of this, Xue Liu became more and more cautious and uneasy. After hesitating for a long time, I still couldn't make a decision-

Seeing this, Gu Wanyin sighed, knowing that Xue Liu's family was unwilling, she took a step back and said, "Since you are afraid that I have no other purpose, in this way, you can take the twenty taels of silver, and you can find a place to live by yourself." After thinking about it, he reminded: "Don't show your wealth, it's best for you to hide this silver." Don't say anything to anyone, especially that Yuko. ”

Speaking of which, Gu Wanyin had nothing to say more, and immediately stopped looking at the Xue Liu family. Just get up and leave.

Xue Liu didn't expect such a good thing, he was surprised and happy at the moment, but he was also a little vigilant in his heart - there is no good thing in the world that pies are lost in vain. It's just that she didn't know that Gu Wanyin was willing to help them, and she also had some compassion. The two children, both with yellow faces and thin muscles, obviously suffered a lot. At that age, he looked much younger than Gu Congqi.

"The little woman is grateful, thank you to the princess for her great kindness, and repay her in the next life!" Xue Liu knelt down, bowed to Gu Wanyin's back, and said with great gratitude.

Gu Wanyin paused, and then a faint voice reached Xue Liu's ears: "No need. It's just that before you reach a conclusion in the yamen, you will be told that our Zhou family killed your husband. After saying this, Gu Wanyin left directly. It's just that he whispered to Bimei: "You go and let Mama Hu find two reliable people, follow Xue Liu's family, and see if there is anything unusual about them." Especially that Yuko. Also, beware of silence from others. ”

When she said the last sentence, Gu Wanyin's voice became colder, extremely cold. The eyes that have always been warm are gradually cold.

When Bi Mei heard this, she was shocked, and looked at Gu Wanyin in surprise, her brows furrowed, and her voice was a little hesitant and uncertain: "What does the princess mean-" Someone is targeting the Zhou family?

"Perhaps." Gu Wanyin's face remained unchanged, and her voice was still cold. After a long time, he sighed again: "I hope not." "It's just that most of this matter is caused by someone behind it.

Otherwise, how could Xue Liu, an honest woman with little knowledge, make such a bold move? And that Yongzi is also very suspicious. If that Yuko is really the brother of the deceased, there is nothing to say. But what if not? The behavior of the brave son is worth pondering. Although Yongzi seems to be stronger than Xue Liu's, he is just a person who has little courage. Otherwise, I wouldn't have changed my mind with a casual scare.

Also, if you really want to extort some money, smart people will not use such methods. If you want it in private, the Zhou family may give it more or less with the attitude of calming things down. But what if it gets bigger?

It's a big fuss, and of course she doesn't want to give silver. Otherwise, wouldn't it make people say that they were weak-hearted? On the contrary, the rumors that the Zhou family had problems were confirmed. And now many people must know that they came to the Zhou family, so she had to directly refuse Yongzi's words, saying that she had to wait for the yamen to give an explanation.

You must know that such a thing may not really be found out afterwards.

"Slave maid, go find Mama Hu." Bi Mei stopped and hurried away.

Gu Wanyin went all the way back to her courtyard, and when she entered the house, she was tired and crooked on the chaise longue, never wanting to move again. It's not that the body is tired, but the heart. bothered to hide it from the old lady, and had to force herself to deal with things calmly. It is indeed an indescribable exhaustion.

As soon as she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, someone suddenly pressed her hand on her sun xué and rubbed it lightly and heavily;

Gu Wanyin didn't open her eyes, but asked softly, "How is it?" Can the second wife hide it? And the third wife, do you have anything to say? ”

Danzhi's soft voice came: "The second lady hid it, but she caught a few people who wanted to go to the ventilating and reporting the news, and after I warned and intimidated, they all sent things to do." It's going to be for a while, but you don't have to worry about the second wife knowing. As for the third wife, there is no news yet. Straight said that someone was sent to investigate. ”

While speaking, Danzhi gently kneaded Gu Wanyin's sun xué.

Gu Wanyin sighed, barely squeezed out a smile, and asked softly, "Do you think the third wife will help me this time?" Or does she want to wait and see for a while? "It's not that she's suspicious, it's that this matter is too big, and it's something in her hands. If the old lady knew, she might have taken away the housekeeping power she had just acquired. When the time comes, maybe the old lady will not be relieved to give her power in the future. With the shrewdness of the third wife, it is not impossible to see what she is making in the first place.

Danzhi pondered for a moment before he said unhurriedly: "This is also unclear. However, the princess also happened to try the third wife's mind. ”

"Hmm." Gu Wanyin replied lightly, and suddenly said, "You say, where has the prince gone now?" ”

Danzhi lowered his eyes, looked down at Gu Wanyin's lightly frowning brows, and said softly: "If it's fast, it may be almost there." If it's slow, it's hard to say. But Xingzi, who wants to come to the world, should be here now. ”

"I think so." The corners of Gu Wanyin's lips curled slightly, a little helpless: "He must be in a hurry day and night." What he has to do, he will do his best. "Moreover, presumably Zhou Ruijing has always remembered his family, right? After all, the matter of the second master has not yet had a result, and no one knows what will happen.

"Manna seems to have gotten some rumors, and has tried a few times." Danzhi paused, and suddenly brought up the nectar. When she spoke of nectar, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed under her eyes. Gu Wanyin could see Ganlu's thoughts, and she could naturally see it. "I wonder if Manna will tell the old lady what she knows?"

If so, the old lady will be furious. At that time, Gu Wanyin's situation will be dangerous.

Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, and suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were clear and thorough, like a fine gem, shining and dazzling: "Manna is very smart and will not take risks." You must know that the old lady's body is really bad now, and she can't take risks. If there is no old lady, Ganlu is nothing in the Zhou family, and I don't know what will happen in the future. So, manna doesn't make fools. "Besides, if Manna really has that mind, she will never go against her. Unless, Manna doesn't have that kind of mind. But if she didn't have that kind of mind, Manna wouldn't be against her.

Danzhi pondered for a moment, as if he had carefully pondered what Gu Wanyin said.

"Serve the food, I'm hungry too." Just now in the weeping flower hall, I only drank some tea, but the dim sum was useless, and I ran around again, cāo was so tired that I couldn't bear it. And, after eating, there are still a lot of things to deal with.

When Danzhi heard this, he hurriedly instructed the little girl to pass the meal.

Gu Wanyin thought for a while, and suddenly commanded again: "I remember that I have a bracelet of agarwood, and that fragrance is the most effective to calm the nerves." Bi Mei is frightened outside today, and you will find out and give it to him later. And if he is wounded in the porter's house, he shall be rewarded with ten taels of silver. The rest will be rewarded with two taels. Tell them they're doing an excellent job. "If it weren't for the porter's failure to fight back, then Yongzi and they would never have been unscathed. Fortunately, he didn't fight back, otherwise the Zhou family would have become a bully, and his reputation would have plummeted.
