Chapter 320 Found
A willow leaf fell on Gu Yuan's shoulder with the wind. Gu Yuan brushed off the willow leaf and asked lightly:
"What did Gu Xiao do again?"
His voice was calm and calm, like a drizzle of autumn rain, which fell drop by drop on the smooth slate floor.
"How do you know that, sir?" Juan Bi's eyes widened in surprise, "After the second young master was taken to the Beizhen Fusi, he said that he received an informative letter not long ago, and the writer told him that the Gu family had harboured Yu. The remnants of the family also persuaded him to kill his relatives righteously, so he came to the house early in the morning to check, and heard the cry of a baby in the garden, so he went to the Beizhen Fusi to report."
"The commander He said that the second young master is also surnamed Gu. Since he is not with the uncle, it must be with the second master, so he took Jinyiwei to the Luwei Hutong to search."
Gu Yanfei drank the scented tea slowly, without even moving the corners of his eyes and brows, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, he just asked casually, "Has anyone found it?"
"I found it!" Juan Bi nodded solemnly again, her eyes lit up, she was somewhat gloating: the second master and the second master are self-inflicted and deserved!
Juanbi didn't feel any sympathy for the second master and the others, and I wish they could be taught a lesson this time.
Gu Yuan looked at Gu Yanfei who was comfortable and at ease, the corners of his lips curled up, he didn't ask any more questions, just instructed: "Let Wutong go to Luwei Hutong and take a look."
"Okay." Juan Bi happily left again, with a round face as bright as today's good weather.
The sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly today, but the second room of the Gu family is shrouded in a thick layer of clouds, as if a storm will come at any time.
All the masters were driven to the outer courtyard hall by Jin Yiwei.
In the hall, there was a commotion, and people were panicking.
No one expected that Jin Yiwei had just found a stranger from their house.
Everyone looked nervously at the old lady Gu, the backbone of the family, who was sitting at the head.
Since Gu Jian was deprived of the title, Mrs. Gu is no longer the Mrs. of the Hou's residence. After losing her official life, she is just old Mrs. Gu.
At this time, Old Madam Gu's face was extremely poor, and she was as motionless as a stone sculpture.
In the hall, there was silence.
"You are the Lei Shi from Yu Si's outer chamber?" The man's dignified voice broke the silence, attracting everyone's attention to the beautiful woman in the center of the hall.
The beautiful woman was only in her mid-twenties. She had a soft and beautiful appearance, and she had the same air, but she looked a little haggard, with a blue shadow under her eyes. Her combed hair was also a little messy, and a few strands of hair were scattered around her cheeks, both awkward and delicate.
She was holding a blue robe in her arms, with tears in her eyes, her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her eyelids, and she had a charming demeanor that made people feel pity when they looked at it.
"..." Lei Shi didn't say anything, just hugged the baby clothes tightly.
At this time, silence is equivalent to default.
"Since the perpetrator is here," He Lie, who was standing by a window, slowly looked around at the people in the second room of the Gu family, holding a letter in his hand, tossing it casually, and said mockingly, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with this informative letter. ."
His eyes finally fell on Gu Xiao, Gu Xiao's face was extremely pale, as if he had suffered a heavy blow, and half of his three souls and seven souls were scattered.
As soon as he saw the letter, Gu Xiao's body shrank a little, his eyes wandered, filled with emotions such as regret, annoyance, and anxiety.
He Lie's heart was like a mirror, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he thought: Just being smart, it's too stupid.
For Jin Yiwei, what kind of stuff has never been seen before.
He Lie is not surprised that Gu Xiao prepared evidence in advance to exonerate himself.
He didn't plan to come, but Mr. Ni reminded him that since Gu's parent's room has been checked, the second room should also be checked.
He Lie thought about it, yes, he brought people to Gu's residence today to search, although it was business affairs, but after all, it was a block for the second girl, so he had to show something.
He brought people here this time just to show goodness to the second girl Gu, he just wanted to disgust and disgust the second room of the Gu family.
But what He Lie didn't expect was that they actually found Yu Si's outer room.
"Commander He, we were framed!" Gu Jian was sweating profusely in his defense.
"Framed?" He Lie sneered as if he had heard a joke, his tone was light.
Even if Mrs. Gu, Gu Jian, and Gu Xiao haven't confessed, He Lie can see that they clearly failed to frame Gu Yuan, and instead planted it themselves.
Up to now, they are afraid that they still don’t know how they planted it!
Sadly.
He Lie had seen Gu Yanfei's methods with his own eyes, and an unusually bright and sharp light flashed across his eyes, and it passed by in an instant.
"Commander He, we are really wronged!" Gu Jian grabbed the armrest of the chair tightly with one hand and said in a high voice, "We don't know how this woman appeared in my house!"
In just a few words, Gu Jian's face changed several colors, and the colors changed wonderfully.
He had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask Gu Xiao, but Gu Xiao seemed to have lost his soul.
He Lie gave Gu Jian a cold look, not bothering to argue with him, and made a gesture to President Ni.
Ni Zongqi immediately understood, took a step forward with a saber on his waist, looked directly at the beautiful woman standing in the hall, and asked in a stern tone: "Lei Shi, but you are framing them?"
Mr. Lei bit his bleak lower lip, hugged the rucksack tightly with one hand, shook his head desperately, and said with a trembling voice, "Concubine...concubine dare not!"
"It was the Gu family who took in the concubine body, how dare the concubine body dare to break into the house privately..."
Lei Shi's slender body trembled uncontrollably, as if he was about to faint at any moment.
"Nonsense!" Old Madam Gu retorted sharply, pinching the string of beads in her hand even tighter, she really couldn't understand why Lei Shi appeared here.
After said the words, she realized that she was too excited.
She suppressed the irritability and panic in her heart, looked at He Lie by the window, and tried to say calmly: "Commander He, I have never had any dealings with the Yu family, and I don't know why this woman poured dirt on our house. Water, let alone how she could hide in our house!"
"Commander He, someone really wants to frame it." Gu Jian got up, bowed respectfully to He Lie, and lowered his posture.
He has neither a title nor an official position now, and he will only suffer a loss if he is in a tough fight with Jin Yiwei.
Fortunately, as soon as he heard that Jin Yiwei was coming, he quickly sent someone out from the back door to find Gu Yunxuan.
Gu Jian was very anxious, just looking forward to Gu Yunchang's return. Gu Yunmao is now their family's only support.
Ni Zongqi looked at Gu Jian, and then at the old lady Gu, grinning, but there was no smile in her cold eyes, and said slowly: "Does the old lady really have no relationship with the Yu family?"
"The old lady, your maiden name is Qi, and the Yu family should both be in Yingchuan, Yuzhou."
"You are still close friends with the exiled queen from the previous dynasty, right?"
Ni Zongqi's gaze was firmly locked on Mrs. Gu, like an eagle that caught its prey.
"..." Old Madam Gu's delicately maintained hand shook violently, and the string of beads almost didn't let go.
No, what kind of close friends are she and that Empress Yu?
When Empress Yu got married, she was only three or four years old, but she just went to the Yu family with her parents to congratulate her.
She has only been to Yu's house once in her life.
The Yu family was the mother's family of the former queens. If a girl in the family hadn't married into the British public mansion and became the British duchess, the Yu family would have been completely lost. Their Qi family was only able to get married because they married Gu Xuan. keep.
In those days, Emperor Taizu intended to suppress the aristocratic family and prosper the poor family. During his reign, most of the aristocratic families gradually declined, and he barely survived by marrying the new nobles.
Mrs. Gu naturally did not want or want to have any contact with the Yu family anymore. For decades, the friendship between the two families has always been light.
If it wasn't for Gu Yanfei and Fang Mingfeng who had been engaged since childhood, and the British father-in-law and wife's surname was Yu, their Gu family would have long since become completely estranged from the Yu family, and they would never communicate with each other.
This girl Gu Yanfei has been a disaster since she was born!
The old lady Gu thought angrily, her mind became more and more chaotic, like a mess.
Seeing her silence, Ni Zongqi smiled coldly, and took a step closer to Mrs. Gu, with sharp words: "Qi, don't you think that after a few decades, everything will be gone without a trace? What do we Jinyiwei do not know? !"
"The Yu family suffered this time, so I asked Lei Shi to bring the child to beg you to take it in. You couldn't refuse, so you hid the person until now."
Ni Zongqi's expression was extremely determined and unhurried, as if he had seen all this with his own eyes.
"No!" Mrs. Gu denied it hard, her complexion became more and more ugly, the wrinkles on her face seemed to have doubled in depth in just a short cup of tea, and her whole body was abnormally old.
Her body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and her eyes were uncertain.
Ni Zongqi was only 70-80% right.
On the night of Lantern Festival, Mr. Lei suddenly came to the door with the baby in his arms and threatened her: "Mrs. Gu Tai, you don't want to let everyone outside know about the 'substitute', right?"
That night, Lei's understated voice echoed in Old Madam Gu's ears again, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down from her forehead.
"Substitute" is old lady Gu's heart disease. Every time she thinks about it, it makes her heart twist like a knife.
She was coerced by Lei Shi and could only hide her in the small garden of Gu Mansion... But how could the Lei Shi appear here!
Wang was hesitant to speak, his eyes wandering, and his thoughts also returned to the night of the Lantern Festival, regretting the beginning.
At that time, she persuaded the old lady that the Lei family couldn't stay, but the old lady just didn't listen and insisted on doing her own thing, which brought disaster to the family...
Old Madam Gu's nails almost pierced the skin of her palm, her eyes were red, but she still managed not to make herself too rude.
She took a deep breath, pinched her neck, and said hard: "It's not like this. At that time, my Gu family was still the Hou's mansion, I was the wife of the Hou's mansion, and the Yu family had already been convicted, so I had no reason to hide the remnants of the Yu family. !"
"It was Lei who deliberately slandered me! This whistleblower letter was also framed by someone!"
"I think this Lei Shi and the person who wrote the whistleblower letter must be in the same group!"
The old lady Gu was bitten to death, denying that she harbored Lei Shi.
Jin Yiwei is here, she knows that she can't admit it no matter what, if she admits it, their mother and son will be doomed, waiting for their fate, I am afraid that the whole family will be exiled for 3,000 miles!
"I didn't..." Lei Shi's pretty face flushed red, her eyes were filled with crystal tears, her expression was sad and moving and innocent and pitiful.
Xu was because she was holding the rucksack too hard, and the little baby in her arms woke up and started crying with a mournful "wow".
The shrill cries were loud and noisy, lingering.
The Gu family in the hall frowned deeply, adding a bit of dryness.
"Good baby." Lei Shi distressedly went to coax the infant, Wu Yan softly patted the infant, a few strands of scattered hair fell from the temples, trembling.
The child didn't know if he was hungry or startled, and he was crying...
This orphan and widow mother are weak and pitiful, helpless.
"Enough!" He Lie, who was standing by the window, shouted softly.
Lei was startled, and hurriedly covered the baby's mouth.
He Lie sneered, and then raised the whistleblower letter in Yang's hand, "You've all said the good and the bad, Mrs. Qi, Ling Sun came to Beizhen Fusi to report Gu Yuan with this whistleblower letter. of."
"Framed? Framed?... If you want to say framed and framed, it's you who framed Gu Yuan!"
A few words made Mrs. Gu Tai and Gu Jian speechless.
Gu Yunlan and the other girls became even more uneasy. Even if they are young and don't know what happened, at least they can see that their current situation is quite bad.
He Lie didn't want to listen to Mrs. Gu's stubborn nonsense anymore, and immediately ordered: "Fengfu, bring Lei's mother and son back to Beizhen Fusi!"
The words exploded like thunder.
Everyone in the Gu family seemed to have been struck by lightning.
Gu Xiao's body shook violently, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and he leaned weakly on the beam next to him.
"and many more!"
A graceful female voice sounded from outside the hall, panting slightly.
Everyone in the hall followed the prestige, and saw Gu Yunzheng, who was wearing a bright red dress, hurriedly came to the outside of the hall, and Xu Ning's cheeks were flushed with rouge because of trotting for a while.
Gu Yunchang went to Wancaotang early in the morning, and hurried back when he heard that Jin Yiwei came to the Gu house to search.
"Sister Chang!" As soon as Gu Jian saw Gu Yunchang, his dull eyes instantly lit up.
Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Wang, Gu Xiao, Gu Yunlan, and others also looked at Gu Yunchang, as if they had seen a savior, and their eyes were full of brilliance.
The Gu family is now in a state of despair, and their in-laws and friends are also unreliable. No one dares to offend Jin Yiwei. The only person in the world who can still have a glimmer of hope is Gu Yunxuan.
Gu Yunchang is about to marry King Kang. With her here, Jin Yiwei doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, and he has to be careful!
Gu Yunchang nodded slightly to Gu Jian and the others, and crossed the threshold with her skirt in hand. The ruby bead flowers on her temples reflected her eyes with radiance and brilliance.
She went to He Lie with a clear goal, and said righteously: "He commander, there is no evidence, Jin Yiwei first searched the mansion, and then closed the mansion. It's too arrogant to be so lawless!"
Compared to the tall and mighty He Lie, Gu Yuncong, who is only about his shoulders, looks so petite and slender, but even so, she is still fearless and calm in the face of the commander of Jinyiwei, who is famous for her murder.
Her expression is neither humble nor arrogant, her eyes are clear, a pair of small dimples are looming on the corners of her bright red lips, and her lovable face makes life not feel bad.
Everyone in the Gu family held their breaths subconsciously.
He Lie's cold and hard expression did not soften in the slightest, nor did he move at all, his voice was like ice, "Who do you think you are, and dare to question Jinyiwei's office?"
Gu Yunxiang: "…"
Ni Zongqi coughed twice and explained: "Commander, this girl Gu San is the future Princess Kang."
"Oh?" He Lie uttered this strange syllable from his throat, which seemed to mean something, "It turned out to be Miss Gu San."
He stared at Gu Yunxiang deeply for a long time, and saw that she was a little uncomfortable, Fang said coldly: "Miss Gu San, even if you are Princess Kang today, our Jinyiwei can't help you to interrupt!"
"Don't say it, you are not yet!"
The last sentence was loud.
Just like a bucket of ice water was poured on the head, the flame of hope that had just ignited in the hearts of the Gu family was extinguished at once.
Several female relatives slumped to the back of the chair behind.
"..." Gu Yunchang pursed her lips tightly, and the dimples on her lips deepened a bit.
She was obviously just talking about things, and did not mean to oppress people with King Kang, but Jin Yiwei deliberately distorted her, as expected, as arrogant and presumptuous in the rumors.
He Lie strode past Gu Yunxiang without looking at her again, as if she was not worth paying attention to at all.
"Everyone is not allowed to leave until the emperor decides! Otherwise, don't blame our Jinyiwei for being rude!" Ni Zongqi warned the Gu family in an orderly tone, and he would not give them any chance to speak. left.
Their contemptuous eyes were as if the Gu family members present were just ants, ants who couldn't make any waves.
As for Lei's mother and son, they were taken away by the Jinyiwei. The door of the hall was slammed shut, and a few Jinyiwei guards with knives were left outside the hall to guard the door.
After a while, the sound of footsteps outside faded away, and the hall became quiet, a depressing atmosphere filled the surroundings, and everyone's heart was heavy.
"..." Gu Yunchang gritted her silver teeth slightly, turned around slowly, her eyes were as deep as water, and she looked at the closed door, feeling like she was in prison.
Jin Yiwei is too deceiving. The emperor condoned Jin Yiwei to trespass the house and do whatever he wanted.
Gu Yunchang reassured himself in his heart that he should not be impatient.
"Gu Xiao," Gu Jian strode closer to Gu Xiao and asked with a gloomy frown, "What's going on?"
Gu Xiao held his head in his hands, and he didn't hear it. When Gu Jian called his name again, he suddenly broke out and shouted hysterically: "It's you, it's you who hurt me!"
Gu Xiao rushed towards the old lady Gu in three steps and two steps, staring at her with bloodshot eyes, his fists clenched tightly.
"Grandmother, you don't want to live in this small house, you want to kill us all, and then go to live in Gu Yuan's big mansion, right!" Gu Xiao said frantically, looking at Mrs. Gu's eyes As if looking at his enemy.
As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.
"Brother Xiao..." Old Madam Gu's body shook violently, as if she had been hit hard.
She never imagined that her grandson, whom she had loved since childhood, would say such words to her, her pale lips trembled like chaff, her chest rose and fell rapidly, and her face became whiter and whiter.
She is over half a hundred years old, and to put it rudely, she will not have a good life for a few years.
If it wasn't for her blood, for these children in the family, how could she be reduced to this point!
Over the years, everything she did was for them!
But now, her grandson accuses her like this.
"You...you said...what?" Mrs. Gu said intermittently, tears welling up in her cloudy eyes, looking at Gu Xiao with heartache and shock.
"Second brother," Gu Yunchang's face sank, his eyes fierce, "how can you talk to grandma like this! You hurt grandma's heart so much."
Gu Jian also felt that Gu Xiao's words were inappropriate, but she was irritable and preoccupied, and she really had no intention of teaching her son.
"..." Gu Xiao hesitated, his face tensed, and finally turned his face away awkwardly, not convinced.
Gu Yunmao walked quickly to Mrs. Gu's side, gently smoothed her back, showed a soft and bright smile, and said with relief: "Grandma, don't be angry. This kind of thing happened at home, I think the second brother is just anxious for a while. , will be blundered.”
"He's young and hasn't done anything..."
After she said that, she turned her head and said to Gu Xiao again, "Brother Xiao, come over and apologize to your grandmother!"
However, Gu Xiao, who turned his face away, didn't move, didn't look at the old lady, his eyebrows were deeply twisted into a knot.
Gu Yunchang sighed in his heart, and he didn't care about bothering with Gu Xiao. He still had to solve the current problem first, "Grandma, what's going on?"
"Why did that Lei hide in our house?"
Old Madam Gu's eyes flickered uncertainly, and after rubbing her fingers on the string of Buddhist beads for a while, she said helplessly, "I am indeed taking people in!"
Gu Yunchang was startled when she heard the words, her eyes widened slightly.
