16. Request, truth

I thought that I would be alone in this Gu Mansion until three years later, but things in the world are so undesirable, and the impermanence of fate is reflected in Li Zhongming.

According to the usual practice in the past, Li Zhongming had just read from his room and was going to the kitchen for some supper. However, in the courtyard tonight, there were two strange visitors.

I saw that as soon as they entered the courtyard, they knelt in front of Li Zhongming's room, and seeing them behave like this, Li Zhongming was also startled as soon as he opened the door. To be honest, anyone who is stopped by two girls kneeling in front of the door at night will feel sudden and overwhelmed.

Li Zhongming carefully observed the two girls through the light in the room, one he knew, it seemed to be Danshu, the maid next to the third girl, and the other was the older one who didn't know. However, looking at the costumes should also be the female envoy of the Gu Mansion.

"Two, please get up quickly, please get up and talk if you have anything, otherwise, let others see it, I really can't explain it." , said and saluted the two of them.

"Zhongming Langjun, please save my girl", the two said in unison.

"Two girls, let's hurry up and reply, there is still a cold and heavy dew, it will hurt your body", Li Zhongming persuaded him.

"Zhongming Langjun, only you can save my girl, if you don't agree, we will never get up." The older one replied.

"Two, what the hell is going on with this brainless thing? How could it be involved with the three girls? I have little contact with the girls in the house, and I strictly abide by the rules of the house, and the three girls are only in the school and take care of them. Privately, I've never had any contact. Now the two of them are not only framing my innocence, but also ruining the reputation of the three girls. You're not trying to save the third girl, you're harming her. So, take it back quickly, don't talk about it again, I just think I've never heard it", seeing the two of them mentioning Gu Xuejian again and again, this frightened Li Zhongming and hurriedly explained and warned.

Now everyone in the house knows that the three girls are a powder keg at the moment, and if they are involved with anyone and are involved, they will definitely be angered by a sense of anger that has nowhere to vent, not only will their lives be lost, but their bones will be gone.

Thinking of the recent appearance of anger in his eyes and his face full of indignation, and then thinking of the consequences of falling into it, Li Zhongming couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly led the two to a secluded and hidden place in the courtyard, and comforted them as he walked: "Two, if it's late today, and there is a difference between men and women, in order to prevent others from misunderstanding, I won't invite the two of you to talk, please come with me to the pavilion in the courtyard, and we can have a good conversation." And although I know that both of them are from the house, I don't know in what capacity they came here to see me today, and who else sent them here? Can you tell us about yourself? Otherwise, I don't even understand who I'm talking to, so how can I say yes? By the way, why did you find me here, please explain? ”

After a lot of words, the second daughter was finally persuaded to get up, and along the way, Li Zhongming also took a lot of effort, not only comforting and explaining the two, but also asking questions again and again to distract them.

Soon, the three of them settled down, and they saw the two of them hurriedly introduced: "Zhongming Langjun, I, you should know each other, I am the maid of the three girls, Danshu, I am mainly responsible for the affairs of the three girls' courtyard, but sometimes I will accompany the three girls to the school, we should have seen it in the school, although we have not seen much, and we are not familiar with each other, but we should also know each other."

After listening to her introduction, Li Zhongming looked at it carefully, it was indeed Gu Xuejian's maid, and he had seen it in the school. Although it is not the one that Gu Xuejian often followed when he was in the school, he can be regarded as having seen it.

"Where, and who is the other? This is the first time I've met, and I'm sure of that. Li Zhongming asked.

"Lang Jun, please listen to me, I am Aunt Han's female envoy Lu Qi, we are the first time we meet. Now here, I beg you to save Yukimi. With that, he knelt down with Danshu again.

Seeing the two girls kneeling down again, Li Zhongming really had a headache, and the matter had not been clarified yet, but the two girls knelt down again. So, I had to continue to be relieved: "Two girls, let's make things clear first and then talk about other things, so kneel at every turn, I am young and young now, and I come from a humble background, I really can't afford such a big gift!" ”

But this time, no matter how Li Zhongming persuaded her, the second daughter ignored it. As a result, Li Zhongming asked them to continue to tell.

"The two of us came here to ask you to come out and help testify and return the innocence of the three girls, so that the three girls can be released from the Buddhist hall." The second daughter continued with a pleading look on her face.

"Two, that's even more confusing. Why am I still involved with the third girl? Although I know that the situation of the third girl in the house is not very good. However, I am weak and my ability is limited, so I really can't help! ”

Seeing that Li Zhongming was reluctant to come forward and was unwilling to help, this made the second daughter even more anxious, so she had to bow again and again, and pleaded loudly.

Unexpectedly, his refusal made the second daughter's reaction so violent, and Li Zhongming, who was afraid that the movement in the courtyard would attract others, had to explain that it was not that he was unwilling to help, but that he didn't know how to help. After all, he is just a companion, where can he help Gu Xuejian? Besides, even Gu Lingqing, who was the eldest son of the Gu family and was quite valued by Gu Xue, was reprimanded for helping Gu Xue intercede. What kind of face does he have to help her get released?

Hearing Li Zhongming say this, the second daughter also understood that it was still to blame the two for not explaining the matter clearly, so they gradually stopped their tears and continued to plead. It turned out that this was the case, since Gu Xue saw that she was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall, they figured out the cause of the matter, and began to find a way to solve the dilemma. Later, after their deliberations and memories, they could be sure that the jade pendant must not have been lost outside, let alone Gu Xuejian's private gift to outsiders. After all, they get along with Gu Xuejian day and night, and they remember Gu Xuejian's every move. After analyzing and recalling, they had to search for clues from the day the jade pendant was lost, hoping to find the truth.

Later, through several inquiries and hard work, they finally found some clues. After many arguments by them, they finally determined that Li Zhongming was the savior of Gu Xuejian's grievances.

Listening to what they said, this made Li Zhongming even more confused, and his heart was even more confused, how could he become a savior? Let the two of them quickly explain the reason, why did they seem to have become the key to Gu Xuejian's incident?

Then the two daughters continued, they inquired and confirmed that Li Zhongming had also picked up a jade pendant on the night when Gu Xue saw that it was lost.

Li Zhongming said directly, yes, but he ran into Gu Lingze that night, Gu Lingze said that it was his, and the jade pendant had been taken back by him. There's nothing wrong with that!

Hearing Li Zhongming say this, the two women hurriedly explained, yes, they didn't care about it originally. However, today they overheard Gu Lingze's servant say that his jade pendant had not been seen several days before Gu Xue saw that the jade pendant was lost, and Gu Lingze had been covering up this matter. In addition, even a few days after Li Zhongming returned the jade pendant to Gu Lingze, he did not see him wearing it daily. Therefore, they all felt very strange, and they all seriously suspected that the jade pendant that Li Zhongming picked up was not Gu Lingze's at all, but Gu Xue's.

The second daughter's explanation not only made Li Zhongming can't help but recall that after Gu Lingze got the jade pendant that night, his face was unnatural, and it seemed that when he left, he seemed to be in a hurry. No wonder, that night, when I went back to my room to rest, I always felt that something was wrong at that time, and I always felt uneasy in my heart. Now that I think about it, the truth should be what the second daughter told me, and the jade pendant should have been seen by Gu Xue, not Gu Lingze. In this way, things can be explained, Gu Lingze must have been weak at that time.

However, just in case, Li Zhongming's face did not change, but asked: "Two, have you ever seen the jade pendant that the third girl lost?" If you have seen it, can you describe the appearance of the jade pendant? ”

Seeing that Li Zhongming's tone was somewhat relaxed, he unconsciously had more hope of rescuing Gu Xuejian. Hearing Li Zhongming's inquiry again, I felt that this hope was greater, and after the two glanced at each other, they cheered each other up, and then replied, saying that Danshu had seen it, and it was very familiar. It turned out that although Danshu was young, she assisted Gu Xue in taking care of many of the affairs in Gu Xue's hospital. Therefore, she often cleans and wipes Gu Xuejian's portable jade pendant, so she is very familiar. Next, Danshu carefully described the appearance of the jade pendant imprinted in his mind.

Listening to Danshu's narration, Li Zhongming found that Danshu's description was not only more than what Gu Lingze told him, but also more detailed. There was a sudden affirmation and determination in my heart.

But thinking about it again, if he stood up for the complicated situation in the mansion, he would definitely offend Gu Lingze and the Qin family. Then, even if he is involved in the whirlpool in the mansion in the future, he will suffer from open guns and arrows and all kinds of stumbling blocks. Li Zhongming kept thinking about it in his heart to see if he could think of a way to get the best of both worlds. It can not only make himself not come forward, but also help Gu Xue understand the current siege.
