Chapter 260: Bad News

Zhang got up and took his leave.

The second wife hurriedly stood up: "I'll send my in-laws' wife." ”

Zhang Shi hurriedly pressed the second wife: "You are not in good health, you don't need to be so polite." Besides, I want to go and see the princess. ”

The second wife was a little panicked when she heard this, and her smile was reluctant: "I see, I guess you have a lot of private things to say." It's just that the tone is somewhat tentative. After all, what is the second wife most afraid of now? What I am most afraid of is that this matter will be known by the people of the Zhou family. She regarded Gu Wanyin as a thorn in her side, and only felt that Gu Wanyin was embarrassed by her everywhere, if she knew about it, she was afraid that she would no longer be able to hide it.

It's just that the second wife never thought about it, in fact, Gu Wanyin already knew about it. The Zhang family dared to open his mouth like this today, and Gu Wanyin pushed behind his back. If it weren't for the second wife's handle, how could Zhang dare to threaten him? If the second wife is angry and the marriage is ruined, no one can afford it.

And how did Zhang not understand what the second wife meant? At that moment, he saw the second wife's worry at a glance, smiled slightly, and gave the second wife an unspoken look: "Actually, it's not a private word, it's just a goodbye." How can there be some things that can be said by seeing people? "The current meaning is that this matter will not be publicized indiscriminately.

Even though the second wife was uneasy in her heart, she didn't dare to offend the Zhang family now, and nodded with a smile: "That's exactly the reason." The in-laws are the most sensible. ”

Zhang couldn't help sneering in his heart, but on the side, he made a picture of being very close to the second wife and said: "The wife of the in-law family can rest assured that there is nothing wrong with this marriage." After a pause, he smiled again: "Yingyin is young, I don't know many things, and we hide them." In the future, I will have to have too many cāo hearts in my family. This is not the right thing to say, but he told the second wife one thing - Gu Yingyin, she was also kept in the dark.

Something like that. It's just a matter of threatening it in private. How can you still speak out? Unless you really don't want to get married. But even so, I'm afraid that the second wife will be offended. In the future, Gu Yingyin may be wearing small shoes. It's just - this is in Zhang's eyes, what does this have to do with her? She just wants the second wife to understand. It would be nice if she had a handle in her hand.

As for whether Gu Yingyin is profitable, it is naturally not in her consideration.

Gu Wanyin heard the news that the Zhang family had come over again in the inner room. Hurriedly greeted him. Seeing Zhang's happy face, he smiled and asked, "What?" Mother smiled so happily, didn't something good happen? Although she asked, she had already guessed something in her heart. Presumably, what benefits did I get from the second wife?

"The second wife has promised to take out a few things to replace those ones." Zhang said with a smile. There was some happiness in my heart. The second wife bullied the Gu family like that, and as the mother of the Gu family, she was naturally unhappy. However, if it weren't for Gu Wanyin's reminder, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly, and then Zhang said again: "Thanks to your reminder——"

"I'm just saying that." Gu Wanyin smiled faintly: Although she reminded her, she didn't let Zhang do it. So, even if something goes wrong in the future, she can't be blamed. And ——, "It's just like mother." Aren't you afraid of offending the second wife? ”

Zhang smiled lightly, and raised the corners of his lips indifferently: "Hengzhi didn't marry me, how many times can I see each other in a year?" On the contrary, she pinched the handle of the second wife. The second wife is afraid that she will be even more kind to her, not to mention that she will not be offended.

Seeing Zhang's attitude, Gu Wanyin's smile was a little fuller, but there was a hint of coolness in her heart - it was really not her own daughter, and Zhang's did not feel any pity; If it was Mrs. Leigh, where would this be the case?

But fortunately, she has already left the Gu family. Zhang couldn't figure her out.

And Gu Congqi and Gu Congrui are the support of the Zhang family for the rest of their lives, and the Zhang family will not treat them like this. It's just that behind the scenes, it's better to remind Gu Congqi one or two.

Just when Gu Wanyin secretly made up her mind, Zhang said again: "Besides, if it weren't for Gu Yingyin herself, we wouldn't have to be so aggrieved now." For the sake of Gu Yingyin, the old lady refused to speak up. Even though it made Gu Yingyin marry yuánmǎn, it damaged the face of the Gu family. She was unwilling to endure such a humiliating thing. Otherwise, how will the Gu family raise their heads in front of the Zhou family in the future?

It makes no sense that Gu Wanyin earned back the face for the Gu family, but in a blink of an eye, she was defeated by Gu Yingyin, a concubine.

"That's exactly what I said." Gu Wanyin nodded without hesitation, and looked at Zhang with deep meaning: "If the third sister steps on the wrong foot, she will miss it for life." It's a pity. "I hope Zhang, don't make a wrong step.

Zhang seemed to understand, and smiled back: "So we should be more cautious in our words and deeds." Only by knowing what to do and what not to do can the road go further. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, then each looked away and continued to drink tea as if nothing had happened.

Gu Wanyin left Zhang's to eat before letting people send Zhang's back.

As soon as Zhang's front foot left, the second wife suddenly came over for some reason.

Gu Wanyin naturally knew what the second wife meant, but she was not a little impatient at the moment, and poured tea and snacks for the second wife affectionately, but she didn't say hello at all.

The second wife was a little anxious, but she was afraid of revealing her feet, and after talking a lot of gossip, she asked casually: "Do you know about the dowry-" The words were only half spoken, but she looked at Gu Wanyin with her eyes, as if she was observing her reaction.

Gu Wanyin looked at the second wife blankly, first waited patiently for a long time, and after not seeing the following, she finally opened her mouth and asked, "What's wrong with the dowry?" ”

No one can see any clues in that way, only when she is really puzzled.

The second wife breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Your stepmother didn't tell you?" She said that she would put the dowry gift for Ying Yin on the bright side for everyone to see. ”

Gu Wanyin raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Such? After a pause, he smiled again: "That's fine, let people see, second aunt, how you value my third sister." I have seen the dowry list, and the second aunt doesn't have to worry about losing face at all. That kind of dowry, only if it is good, no one dares to say that it is not good at all. ”

Indeed, the list was made after the old lady had seen it. Although it is not as good as Zhou Ruijing, in terms of Zhou Ruiming's identity, it is also top-notch.

If the second wife hadn't stolen something, she naturally didn't have to be afraid.

But it's ......

Gu Wanyin looked at the second wife with a smile, and her eyes did not hesitate to look at the second wife's search and suspicion, and she was extremely calm.

The second wife showed a smile, lowered her eyes, and said very naturally: "I just think it's too ostentatious." Our Zhou family has always kept a low profile—"

"It's nothing to be high-profile about such a thing as marriage;." Gu Wanyin smiled lightly, "No matter what, it's the face of our two families." ”

"This one too." The second wife should be reconciled, I don't know whether she let go of her doubts, or just temporarily suppressed her doubts in her heart. Perhaps because she felt that there was no need to say more, the second wife stood up: "I still have something to do, so I'll go back first." ”

"Second aunt walk slowly." personally sent the second wife to the gate of the hospital, and Gu Wanyin said goodbye softly. Then he watched the second wife slowly walk out of sight.

Turning around and going back to the room, she smiled in her heart: The second wife is too old to be a fool for her? What is such a blatant temptation? It seems that the second wife's illness is really sick and confused. I won't even cover it up.

However, the original good mood was suddenly broken at night.

The old lady hurriedly summoned everyone in the house. Gu Wanyin was at first as if the old lady was idle and bored, and wanted to talk to someone.

But unexpectedly, the old lady lowered her face and slowly spit out a bad news: "The news from the palace that Jing'er was assassinated on the way back." ”

Gu Wanyin's "boom" in her mind completely became a blank, and it took a long time to see the old lady calm down, and asked: "That prince, can you turn danger into a disaster?" Even if it was herself, she could hear her own voice trembling violently.

However, she felt that Zhou Ruijing would definitely be able to return safe and sound.

"I don't know." The old lady shook her head heavily. The Assassins scattered Jing'er's escort. Jing'er's whereabouts...... Unknown. ”

How come?! Such an answer made Gu Wanyin shocked and angry, only to feel a rush of anger, and she couldn't care about it anymore, so she stood up violently, looked at the old lady with sharp eyes, and her voice was implied to be angry: "What about the assassin?" Did you catch it? Who sent it? "Who is it that wants Zhou Ruijing to die? And Zhou Ruijing, he - how is it now?

"Assassins, they're all dead." The old lady spit out such a sentence with difficulty, and the strength in her body could no longer hold it, so the old lady paused, sat on the chair, and held the armrest of the chair hard. After finishing his words with a deep heart: "The King of Qin and the King of Jin have sent a large number of people to look for it, but they are just ...... There is no news. ”

Gu Wanyin couldn't stand anymore, she only felt that her legs were weak and weak, and she couldn't hold her body anymore, so she slid down all of a sudden.

The third lady on the side exclaimed, hurriedly stepped forward to hold her, frowned and whispered: "At this time, you can't fall." ”

However, Gu Wanyin seemed to have lost her mind, and looked at the third lady with a pair of misty eyes, and she didn't move for a long time. The whole person is like a wood carving.

And at this time, there is another person who is also stumbling and untenable. knocked down the brass lampstand next to it at once, but it made a loud noise.

And when they looked at it, it turned out to be nectar. I saw that Ganlu's face was pale, her face was full of sorrow, and her tears were sliding down like broken pearls, and she was even more excited than Gu Wanyin looked.

Seeing this, the third wife couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously leaned Gu Wanyin's head on her shoulder, not letting her take a look. The nectar is like this, and the thoughts are already written on the face. Her appearance made Gu Wanyin look at it, how could she feel comfortable in her heart?

However, the third wife was too worried.
