Chapter Two Hundred and Six: Disappointment

Gu Xiu squinted, "Isn't it a bad thing? Then why did he fabricate his identity? When he first got married, since he said that he was Qian Xiangzhen's son, why didn't you see Qian Xiangzhen, and didn't go to the Rock City Lord's Mansion to ask for verification, so you married the third sister to him?"

Guang Haiying couldn't see that Gu Xiu was dissatisfied with his parents, she was not angry, and she was very remorseful about this matter.

"At that time, we saw that he was sincere in his request, and he had the identity jade plate of the Rock City Lord's Mansion, and your third sister herself agreed, so it was not considered considerate......"

Gu Hua also said: "Xiu'er, this is already the case, it's useless to say more, as for Shu'er, it depends on her own creation." ”

"Mother thinks so too?" Gu Xiu stared at Guang Haiying.

Guang Haiying sighed, "If not, what can it be, maybe in a few years, your third sister will come back by herself." ”

Gu Xiu touched the storage bag, there were the pills she brought back for Guang Haiying, healing, cultivating, and one of the Transforming Pills she prepared for Gu Shu, because of Gu Shu's disappearance, this Transformation Pill would not be used in a short period of time, she originally thought that it was for Guang Haiying, although with her current condition, the chance of successfully transforming the Pulse is not great, but if she has taken the Transformation Pulse Pill, she can reduce the frequency of using the Transformation Pill if she cultivates in the future.

But now, she suddenly didn't want to give.

Gu Xiu decided to follow her wishes, she took out a few jade bottles from the storage bag, and said to Guang Haiying: "These bottles are Juxi Dan, Replenishing Pill, Healing Dan, and Shiquan Dan, all of which are medium-grade pills. ”

After giving the pill to Guang Haiying, Gu Xiu didn't look at Guang Haiying's excited and complicated expression, she stood up and said, "Dad, mother, I'll go back to the courtyard first." ”

I originally wanted to ask Gu Xuan why he was so old, but he was not in the mood at the moment.

Back in the courtyard, the maid serving in the courtyard is no longer a small shadow, and the new maid is called Caihe, fourteen or fifteen years old.

She didn't know Gu Xiu, but the news of Miss Gu Liu and Miss Gu Ba's home today was known to the whole family.

Seeing Gu Xiu, Cai He cautiously greeted him, "Eighth Miss, I have already cleaned your house, do you want to go in and rest?"

Gu Xiu nodded, and did not rush back to the house, but went to Gu Shu's house first.

Gu Shu's room was very empty, there was nothing but tables, chairs and benches, and a layer of dust had fallen on the tables, chairs and benches, and there was a golden red sun light that flooded in through the half-open door, and there were fine dust tumbling and floating in the golden light, showing a sense of dilapidation and obsolescence.

Caihe explained a little nervously: "Since the third lady got married, the eldest lady has closed this room, saying that there is no need to clean it, and when the third lady comes back, it will not be too late to clean it temporarily, so ......"

Gu Xiu raised her hand and signaled that Caihe didn't need to explain.

"What about Xiaoying?" asked Gu Xiu.

"Huh?" Caihe was stunned.

Gu Xiu frowned slightly, "It's the maid in front of you, her name is Xiaoying, where has she been now?

"Sister Xiaoying got married, her husband was the original second master's subordinate there, and after they got married, their husband and wife were sent to the medicine garden. ”

"Where's the medicine garden?"

Gu Xiu knew that the Gu family had several medicine gardens outside the city, all of which were planted with medicinal herbs that treated mortal diseases.

"I heard that it's the medicine garden over there in Mingzhen. "Caihe Road.

"When did you come to serve in this courtyard?"

"Two years ago. "Caihe Road.

"So, Xiaoying went to the Mingzhen Medicine Garden two years ago?" Gu Xiu asked again.

Cai He was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "No, Sister Xiaoying was no longer in the house when I was very young?"

Gu Xiu looked at Caihe, "Let's be clear, when did Xiaoying go to Mingzhen?"

Caihe was taken aback by her sudden stern gaze, and hurriedly said: "I don't remember too clearly, when I was ** years old, Sister Xiaoying got married, and my mother also took me to Sister Xiaoying's wedding."

After getting married, Sister Xiaoying went to Mingzhen, before I was assigned to the eldest lady's courtyard, it was Sister Hongshan who served here, two years ago, Sister Hongshan suddenly fell ill, although the eldest lady found her a good doctor, bought expensive medicines, and said to use divine breath to treat her, but only let her live for half a year, and finally went.

After Sister Hongshan went, I was assigned to the eldest lady's yard, and I have been until now. ”

"How old are you this year?" asked Gu Xiu.

Caihe said: "Fifteen years old. ”

"When you were ** years old, that is, six or seven years ago, when Xiaoying left the mansion, were you eight or nine years old?"

Caihe thought for a while, "It's the year when the third lady got married, I still remember when Sister Xiaoying got married, my mother also said that the third miss and Xiaoying's master and servant got married before and after, and there must have been joy in this courtyard this year." ”

Gu Xiu's heart was shocked, she had guessed before, and Caihe's answer seemed to add another bargaining chip to the authenticity of her guess.

It's just that that's not enough.

"In which year did the eldest lady succeed?"

"I know this, it was seven years ago, a few months after the third lady got married, the eldest lady successfully turned into a pulse, and everyone in the house knew about it. ”

Gu Xiu nodded and asked, "Was the eldest lady's retreat decided on an ad hoc basis, or was it agreed before?"

Caihe shook his head, "I don't know, but about ten days ago, the eldest lady told me that she was going to retreat, and she had prepared Bigu Dan to let me take care of the courtyard." ”

From Caihe's mouth, he could only know these news, Gu Xiu was going to enter the house to practice, and after Gu Xuan finished talking to her grandfather and grandmother, she would go to her.

Gu Xuan didn't wait for Gu Xiu to find her, and came by herself in the evening.

At that time, Gu Xiu had just had dinner.

Gu Hua and Guang Haiying called her to go to Chengxiao Courtyard for dinner, but she refused on the grounds that she was tired from traveling.

This reason was perfunctory, but she didn't bother to think of other reasons to deal with it.

"I'm going to look for you tomorrow, but you'll come first. ”

Gu Xiu welcomed Gu Xuan into the room and said with a smile.

Gu Xuan said: "I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

Maybe it's because of the friendship between the two, or maybe it's because both of them are now monks from the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion, or because of the previous recognition of Gu Xiu's ability, Gu Xuan has something in his heart or has any doubts, and the first thing that comes to mind is Gu Xiu.

"Eighth sister, do you know why my grandfather became the way he is now?" Gu Xuan's expression was a little ugly.

Gu Xiu shook his head, "Did the Second Uncle Ancestor make a mistake in his cultivation?"

She originally wanted to ask Gu Hua and Guang Haiying, but seeing their attitude towards Gu Shu's disappearance, she was really in no mood to say more to them.

"It's not. Gu Xuan shook her head, "Grandfather was assassinated." ”

It turned out that not long after the two of them left the City Lord's Mansion of Xianshui City and set off for Shangcheng, Gu Xuan received a message from a friend who was traveling outside and saw Gu Jun when he traveled to Fengshan City.

"Third Uncle?" Gu Xiu was shocked, "Hasn't Third Uncle fallen?"
