Chapter 257: Return
The old lady sneered and explained the whole story.
Zhang and Gu Changfei were stunned on the spot, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time - to be honest, who would have thought that it was the second wife of the Zhou family, Gu Yingyin's future mother-in-law. Secretly swapped things out?
"Now, do you know why I'm hiding it from you?" The old lady continued to sneer, and looked at the Zhang family with burning eyes: "You still want to tell Wanyin about this." When the time comes, how should Wanyin deal with herself? A mother-in-law's family and a mother's family, how can you make it difficult for you to put her caught in the middle? There is also Yingyin, she knows the truth, how can she marry her? ”
Zhang was speechless. If that's the case, it's really inappropriate. But......
Gu Changfei hesitated and asked, "But it's not a way to hide it like this." The second wife is like this, and if Ying Yin marries in the past, isn't it the same to be wronged? ”
Zhang glanced at Gu Changfei approvingly, this time Gu Changfei was smarter. I got to the point all of a sudden. That's what she wanted to ask. Although it is not good for Gu Wanyin and Gu Yingyin to know about this matter, but they can't just suffer such a loss?
"What else can you do if you don't suffer?" The old lady smiled bitterly and glanced at Gu Changfei coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that you taught your daughter to have no way, and the three girls did such ugly things, why would I swallow my anger like this?" Aren't you afraid that your baby daughter won't be able to get married? ”
Gu Changfei's face suddenly showed a look of contempt. Although the old lady's reprimand did not make him ashamed, he could not completely ignore it in the end. It's just that in his heart, he never felt that he was his own goddaughter, but felt that Mrs. Li had brought Gu Yingyin badly, and Gu Yingyin herself was not angry.
Zhang's is not easy to speak in this matter, and he is also silent.
The old lady reprimanded a few more words, but she was also tired, so she let them go back.
On the road. Zhang pulled Gu Changfei's arm: "Master, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Gu Changfei sighed, waved his hand and said, "What else?" Do whatever you want. Since the old lady has decided so. Let's just do it. Don't worry about it. For such a short parent, he has always been idle, naturally he has no patience.
Zhang was a little annoyed. He shook his hand hatefully and said aggrievedly: "The master thinks I'm too troublesome." Be. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have wronged your concubine, and I wouldn't have made everyone unhappy! ”
thought that Gu Changfei would always say something after saying this, but who knew that Gu Changfei didn't say a word. Zhang sneered, no longer aggrieved, but showed a little arrogance: "Since I was wrong, I will apologize to her!" After saying that. He just didn't pay attention to Gu Changfei anymore, and he wouldn't go to his house anymore.
Gu Changfei stomped his feet, but still chased after him, and said a good word.
……
Gu Wanyin lay on the bed after freshening up, and thought about the afternoon. But his heart suddenly moved, and he called Danzhi and asked, "I remember, before the hiring, the third wife said that the second wife took a lot of things to pawn. ”
Danzhi didn't know what to do, and nodded: "Isn't it?" Why did she suddenly think of this-" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly figured out what Gu Wanyin meant; At the moment, her eyes widened and she was a little surprised: "No—" The second wife is not so stupid. Do you want to do something like that, right?
Gu Wanyin smiled slightly: "The second wife clearly doesn't like Gu Yingyin. "According to the second wife's stingy personality, it is naturally entirely possible. Moreover, the second wife calculated accurately, even if the Gu family is not happy, she will not make a big deal about it. After all. Gu Yingyin once did such an ugly thing. And at that time. The second wife was about to scrape together 3,000 taels of silver for her. The second wife was unhappy in her heart, and she was unwilling to give out the money, so it was not unreasonable to collect some money from Gu Yingyin.
Moreover, only in this way will the old lady try her best to conceal it, and she will not want to let her and Gu Yingyin know about zhēnxiàng.
"The second wife is not afraid of ruining the marriage?" Danzhi frowned and was a little puzzled: "If you quit the marriage after paying the dowry, the two families will not look good." ”
"The second wife has calculated that the Gu family will not dare to make a big fuss, and she will only quietly withdraw from the marriage." Gu Wanyin's smile gradually became a little bitter. Compared with the Zhou family, the Gu family has greater concerns.
Danzhi pondered for a moment, then suddenly blinked his eyes and asked, "Is the princess planning to help the third lady once?" "Even if you can't make a noise, it's not impossible to secretly ask the second wife to send something over again.
"What can I do for her?" Gu Wanyin smiled lightly: "Although she is a sister, she is not from a mother's womb." Why should I bother with so much business? "At the moment, I don't care.
Danzhi glanced at Gu Wanyin in some surprise, her lips moved slightly, and she wanted to say something, but in the end, she was silent. It's okay not to get involved, but if you help, you will be in an awkward situation. After all, what can be done with a mother-in-law's family and a mother's family? When the time comes, if you help the Gu family, there will always be gossip on the Zhou family. It's better to pretend not to know, and come to be pure and comfortable.
Gu Wanyin turned over, facing the bed, but her brows gradually frowned - I just don't know, does the third wife know, those things were secretly exchanged in the dowry.
Gradually, she became sleepy, but before falling asleep, she still sighed and commanded softly: "Ming'er quietly sent someone back to see the Zhang family, and only told her that the second wife acted without authorization, and the rest of the Zhou family didn't know." "As for how to do it, let Zhang go to Cāo's heart. She has done this far, she has done her best, and she has no one to be sorry for.
However, she was not worried about whether the Zhang family would know about zhēnxiàng. The Zhang family has already made a big fuss, and the old lady should tell the truth in order to let the Zhang family no longer produce any more moths.
……
On the second day, before Gu Wanyin got up, a letter was sent from the door.
Gu Wanyin only opened it and glanced at it, the corners of her lips curved, and two bright colors flashed in her eyes, bright and shiny, indescribably cheerful and happy: "It's the letter of the prince!" ”
Hearing this, not only Gu Wanyin, but also Danzhi and the others laughed. Immediately, under the leadership of Danzhi, they all retreated with interest. It made Gu Wanyin cry and laugh a little.
This time, there are still a few sentences in the letter, only saying that he is safe now, and the date of his return.
Just Rao, Gu Wanyin still felt extremely happy. Looking at Zhou Ruijing's powerful handwriting, she couldn't help but press the letter paper on her chest, and when she closed her eyes, she seemed to be able to feel Zhou Ruijing's mind and breath. Since Zhou Ruijing is coming back, she naturally doesn't have to reply to the letter.
At that moment, Gu Wanyin quickly got up and washed, and then took the letter with her to see the old lady. The old lady must have been very happy when she read the letter.
Sure enough, when the old lady saw the letter, she could barely say anything, and only said "Okay." Good. ”。
The third lady is the best at responding to the situation, and said with a busy smile: "When the time comes, tell the kitchen, cook a good table of good dishes, and let's have a reunion dinner as a family!" If the old lady likes it, she can invite a small opera troupe to sing again. ”
When the old lady heard this, she scolded with a smile: "It's not a happy event, it's also singing!" As he spoke, his face became a little more solemn: "This matter, let's not be too happy." After all, now that King Qin and King Jin are still over there, the Holy Lord is worried, and it's not good for us to go too far. ”
"Well, let's have a meal at home." Gu Wanyin stroked the broken hair in her ears, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will take the carriage to the city gate early to wait, and when I see the prince, I will send someone back to report the news." ”
When the third lady heard this, she immediately glanced at her with a strange smile, and couldn't help but quip: "Look, I can be regarded as seeing what a plaice is called." ”
A hint of blush appeared on Gu Wanyin's face, but she was not too shy. She already missed Zhou Ruijing so much, and besides, they were fuqi, so there was nothing to hide.
The old lady smiled faintly: "Fuqi has a good feeling, which is a good thing." Then he thought of the second wife and the second master, and sighed again: "The second two, I really don't know when I will make trouble." Seeing that the bride is about to enter the door, and they are still like this, isn't it a joke? ”
Gu Wanyin couldn't say anything about this, but the third lady persuaded her a few words, which finally made the old lady smile again.
When she was about to disperse, the old lady suddenly remembered something, looked at Gu Wanyin and said-"By the way, we were in the palace at that time, and I didn't give a gift to your father, so I will ask Ganlu to send things to your yard in a while, and you can send someone to send them for me." ”
"Thank you, old lady, for thinking." Gu Wanyin didn't shirk either, and smiled and responded.
"Have you seen your stepmother? How does it feel? "When people are older, they like the short things in their parents, and the old lady actually asked again.
Gu Wanyin is a little hard to say-can't Wang Po sell melons and boast about herself, right? It's too good to say, it makes people feel that it's not humble enough, and if it's bad, it's worth nothing. So at the moment, he only said vaguely: "I look at it and I know how to advance and retreat, I must be able to live a good life." As for the rest, I've only seen them once, so it's hard to say. ”
"Please come and sit down when you have time." The old lady said gently: "They are all in-laws, so they should move around more." "And seeing that another happy event is about to be held, it's not good that the two families are too unfamiliar.
Gu Wanyin responded with a smile, and as soon as she retired and walked out, she saw Danzhi hurriedly catching up, and said in a low voice: "Princess Shizi, the Zhang family is here." ”
Gu Wanyin was stunned for a moment-"What is she here to do?" ”
"He said he was here to see the second wife, but he told us first." Danzhi said in a low voice.
Gu Wanyin frowned: "Then have you ever asked people to go back and pass the word?" "Could it be that the Zhang family can't hold it back so quickly?
"It's not time yet." Danzhi shook his head.
Gu Wanyin's brows suddenly tightened a little: "Bring it over to see me first." "It's good to find out what the Zhang family is going to do first.
