Chapter 230: Worry
The third lady frowned and lowered her voice and said, "Do you remember that Yongzi?"
Gu Wanyin's eyes shrank: Of course I remember. Looking up at the third wife, he asked softly, "What's wrong?" "The third wife's expression must not be a good thing.
Sure enough, I heard the third lady sigh: "It's dead." ”
Gu Wanyin raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then frowned: "How come?" "Yongzi has been locked up in Yingtianfu Prison, how could he die?
The third lady sank her face: "Actually, she died on the day she was caught." Who knows that the prefect of Ying Tianfu has been hiding from us. Even when the third master went to ask, he didn't show the slightest hint of indiscretion. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't wait and secretly instigated Yuko's relatives to visit the prison, I wouldn't have known about it at all. ”
The yamen must have been afraid that things would get bigger. The reason for the death can't be found, and the hasty conclusion of the case has already made many people dissatisfied, and if it is known, Yongzi also died in prison-
"How did you die?" When Gu Wanyin heard this, she was also very angry. She originally thought that Ying Tianfu should be safe, even if Yongzi refused to explain for a while, there would be no accident. Who knows!!! If she had known this, she should not have sent people away, but imprisoned herself! At least that way, there will be a clue left! It's good now, all the clues are broken!
Presumably at this time, the person behind must be proud?
The third lady smiled bitterly: "Ying Tianfu didn't say it, I really can't ask about it." Even the corpses don't know where they went. "The yamen deliberately concealed it, and others couldn't find out.
"It seems that we can really only wait until the prince comes back." Gu Wanyin also smiled bitterly, there is no way, how can a group of women deal with the things in the government and politics? But fortunately, no matter what, the Zhou family finally has nothing to lose. That's enough. As for the rest, there is no rush later. "By the way, what's wrong with Xue Liu?" A woman with two children. I'm afraid that life will not be easy, right? And the real culprit was not found, let alone any compensation.
"I've made it my way to get her a job in the house. Although you can't be rich, you can support two children without a problem. The third lady smiled slightly. It seems that Gu Wanyin has already guessed that this question has been asked.
Gu Wanyin also smiled back, "The third aunt is kind-hearted. There will be good fortune in the future. ”
"Come on, I just hope I can live a good life in peace for a few days." The third lady waved her fan, looking indifferent.
Only then did Gu Wanyin remember that the third wife had always been a disbeliever in gods and Buddhas. smiled at the moment and said, "The third aunt will definitely be able to fulfill her wish." If there are really gods and Buddhas in the sky, she hopes that they can move the gods and Buddhas in one fell swoop, so as to bless Zhou Ruijing to return safely.
"That's right. Your father's good days are near. Why, you don't go back to help? The third lady asked casually, peeled a grape and put it in her lips, and then her brows relaxed and showed a little enjoyment: "This tastes good." ”
Gu Wanyin saw the expression of the third wife, but she felt that her teeth were sore inexplicably, and her saliva came out, so she hurriedly avoided her eyes and didn't look at it: "It's not a big deal, with my eldest aunt and third aunt, it's enough;." Seeing that the third lady ate a few more grapes in a row, she paused and couldn't help but say, "Doesn't the third aunt feel sour?" "After this grape was delivered yesterday, she tasted one and couldn't eat it. It's too sour.
The third wife was stunned, but said with a smile: "I think it's just right." I don't know how lately, it's about the weather, and I prefer some sour. If it's too sweet, I don't like it. ”
"I guess it's the weather." Gu Wanyin nodded clearly, and then ordered Danzhi to pack the rest of the grapes and let the third lady bring them back later.
"I'm embarrassed." The third lady covered her lips and smiled and tilted her head to look at Gu Wanyin: "Every time I go back from you, I take a lot of things with me, but I'm afraid that now others think I'm a greedy person." ”
"Then the third aunt will repay me well in the future." Gu Wanyin couldn't help laughing, and also replied playfully.
talked to the third wife for a while, but Zhou Yufei came. Seeing that the third wife was also there, she hurriedly saluted and greeted her.
"Why is it empty today, and you are willing to come out to play?" Gu Wanyin joked with a smile. You must know that ordinary Zhou Yufei rarely goes out.
Zhou Yu's face turned red, although he was shy, he still replied softly; "I came here to ask, sister-in-law, do you know when my brother will come back?"
Gu Wanyin's smile suddenly froze on her face, and the smile in her eyes gradually faded. The news of Zhou Ruijing's disappearance, she and the old lady hid it from everyone.
Gu Wanyin's silence suddenly surprised Zhou Yufei, thinking that she had said something wrong, so she was also silent, but the expression on her face gradually became a little worried.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the third wife hurriedly joked and said softly: "Your sister-in-law can't listen to others talk about you and your brother now, why are you so uninteresting?" The two newlyweds have been separated for so long, and they have long been crazy in their hearts! When you say that, look and see, it's as if your soul has been hooked away! ”
Zhou Yufei was still a girl who had not yet left the cabinet, and her face immediately turned red when she heard the words, but her eyes also showed a little understanding.
Gu Wanyin came back to her senses, but she couldn't cry or laugh, glared at the third wife fiercely, her cheeks were also red, and she hurriedly explained to Zhou Yufei: "Don't listen to your third aunt's nonsense." Then he diverted the topic: "It may take a while for the prince to come back, what's the matter, do you have something to do with him?" ”
You know, Zhou Yufei has never asked these questions. Today, I suddenly asked, I wonder what is the matter.
The blush on Zhou Yushuang's face faded, and a trace of regret appeared in his eyes: "I was thinking, my brother's birthday is coming soon." I don't know if I'll ever be back. ”
Gu Wanyin was stunned, "Birthday? was reminded by Zhou Yufei like this, and she realized that she really forgot that there was such a thing. Zhou Ruijing's birthday, isn't it coming?
Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help frowning - can Zhou Ruijing rush back for his birthday this time? There isn't much time left. I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't help but sigh quietly: this is not important at this time. The important thing is, is Zhou Ruijing still safe?
However, such worries didn't dare to be seen, so she had to smile reluctantly, not looking at Zhou Yushuang's eyes, and said vaguely: "This is not accurate." After all, it's still about getting down to business. But it doesn't matter if he can't come back, it's a big deal when he comes back, let's make up another one for him; ”
Although Zhou Yufei was a little regretful, he also nodded: "That's the only way." ”
The third wife looked at Gu Wanyin's slightly reluctant smile, and a trace of doubt floated in her heart-why did Gu Wanyin have this expression when Zhou Ruijing was mentioned? But the third wife is also a human spirit, so she doesn't ask much at the moment, just pretends that she hasn't seen anything. It should be laughing and laughing, eating and drinking, and there is nothing wrong with it.
After dinner, Gu Wanyin went to the old lady's house as usual.
The old lady had just eaten, and was talking to the manna to eat. Seeing Gu Wanyin coming, he turned his head sideways and instructed Ganlu: "You go down first, and I will talk to the princess alone for a while." ”
Ganlu hurriedly retreated, Gu Wanyin naturally stepped forward, sat beside the old lady, and stretched out her hand to pinch the old lady's shoulder: "The old lady is okay today?" ”
"It's still like that." The old lady snorted comfortably, closed her eyes, but her tone was light, and she was even a little worried: "But there are many people in the court who stand up and let the saint send down our Zhou family." ”
Gu Wanyin paused, and then continued to exert force softly as if nothing had happened, but her tone was a little cold: "Some people want to fall into the well." "While everything is still unclear at this time, let's talk about the Zhou family's army first. After a pause, she sneered and said, "However, there are those who fall into the well, and there will always be those who send charcoal in the snow." "Moreover, the saint is not stupid, he will not move the Zhou family before there is no evidence. After all, the Zhou family still has military power in their hands. If you want to move the Zhou family, there is no legitimate reason, will the prince accept it?
Moreover, there is also the relationship between the queen mother, and many saints have to give some face.
The old lady closed her eyes and enjoyed it, and she also sneered: "There are many stones that fall into the well, and there are few people who send charcoal in the snow." ”
This has been the case since ancient times. If everyone can help in the snow, then there won't be so many things to dump on each other. The struggle between the parties has always been fierce.
Gu Wanyin didn't think about it before, but now she gradually realized it. Pursing her lips, she comforted the old lady softly: "As long as the Holy Lord believes in the prince." It doesn't matter what others say. "Things will always come to light, and when the time comes, everything will be clear. All rumors will be self-defeating.
"The Holy One hasn't moved yet." The old lady also thought of this, breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a smile: "The Queen Mother also said, let us just rest assured." The Holy One has his own opinions. They will not listen to slander. ”
Hearing this, Gu Wanyin also breathed a sigh of relief. Since the saint has no suspicions, then it is good.
"It's just that it's not a way to go on like this." The old lady sighed lowly: "What's the matter, I'm afraid that something will happen if it drags on for a long time." Now if Jing'er can send back a little news to prove his innocence, everything will naturally be fine. ”
But a few days have passed, but Zhou Ruijing has not had any news. Gu Wanyin's heart tightened, and the movements in her hands were a little off. But she didn't notice it at all.
The old lady opened her eyes, glanced at her unrelenting appearance, and then closed her eyes again, although she did not speak, but sighed slightly in her heart. At the same time, he secretly said: In the past few days, Gu Wanyin has indeed worked hard. On the one hand, we have to take care of the feed, but on the other hand, we have to worry about this matter. Seeing it, I lost a lot of weight.
Seeing her worried about Zhou Ruijing like this, the old lady was not unmoved in her heart. I feel a little happy for Zhou Ruijing. After all, it is naturally best for fuqi to be able to go on a blind date with each other.
