Rebirth of marriage

Xie Jiu made no comment, and the matter was settled.

Although the vegetable farmer was caught this time, although there were still many doubts, Xie Jiu was sure of one thing.

The person who placed Cheng Cong next to Gu Xiao had a low status and did not have many people available, so he repeatedly used blackmail tactics to plot ordinary people for his use.

He must have some kind of relationship with Yun Dai to allow Yun Dai's maid to be used by her, and to use Yun Dai's name to contact people in the Zhenguo Palace. He even knew Yun Dai's situation very well and took advantage of it after Yun Dai's death. Transferred her child.

A few years later, Cheng Cong's sister was taken away by the old lady of the Zhenguo Palace, which showed that the other party had been in contact with the Zhenguo Palace all these years.

Maybe we should check the people who have close contact with the Zhenguo government.

"If nothing is found again, when we return to the capital, we can only bring Cheng Cong and the vegetable farmer directly to the old Duke and let him give you an explanation." Xie Jiu said to Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao nodded. He didn't want to get involved with the Duke's government before, but he never thought about honoring the promised marriage.

But now that he knew about Xie Jiu's rebirth and her possible relationship with the Duke's Mansion, he had to deal with the old Duke.

However, leaving the matter to others to investigate is always too passive.

So this is the last resort.

Now they have to figure out how to find out on their own.

The two returned to their rooms, each writing letters to their own people.

Too many years have passed since the incident, many traces have been erased with the passage of time, and the person behind it is hidden deeply. It is indeed not that easy to find out, so I have to explain it carefully in the letter.

By the time the letter was written, it was already bright outside. Xie Jiu washed his face, had breakfast, and left Prince Xiao's Mansion to find Lin Shu, accompanied by Gu Xiao.

Although she now wears a hood when entering and leaving the palace, she does not avoid crowds like before.

Marquis Wu publicized that his daughter had become King Xiao's concubine, and she put on a whole show. People had to watch her daughter interact with King Xiao, in order to really dissuade the Queen's people.

This was the intention of Wuhou and his wife. They would rather Wu Wanqing have a reputation as a concubine than die in the hands of the queen and her son.

Gu Xiao felt that Wu Hou's request was very good. Firstly, Xiejiu's travel was more convenient. Secondly, it gave him a reason to go in and out to hug Xiejiu. Everyone knew that Wu Wanqing could not see her eyes and could not go in and out by herself. She was free to do so. He, the husband, held it.

As for the people in the palace, after it emerged that Amber was tricked into drugging him by the third prince's people, he completely reorganized the palace and removed all the spies planted by outsiders in the palace.

Now the palace belongs to his own people, and nothing will be spread outside.

In the carriage, Xie Jiu opened his lips and said, "Nanny Ning said that Wanqing's eyes can already see blurry figures."

Gu Xiao was reading a book of war in his hand. Hearing this, he moved the book of war away from his eyes and looked at Xie Jiu, "When we come back from the capital, you and I will get married, and I will send her home. If If there is a suitable candidate for marriage, you can give her a dowry and marry her directly from the palace."

"I'm afraid no one would dare to marry Prince Xiao's concubine."

"If you really like her, you won't care about that." Seeing that Xie Jiu was concerned about Wu Wanqing, Gu Xiao added a few more words.

"It's really impossible to choose one of the officials under me. They know the truth of the matter. If they don't want to marry her because she once served as my concubine, then there is no need to marry her.

Maybe she has her own ideas, we'll see when the time comes. "

After a pause, he added, "She is really your cousin, and we are just your cousin and cousin-in-law. We can't control her life, so we have to rely on herself."

Xie Jiu was also inspired by the fact that he went out under the name Wu Wanqing these days.

Gu Xiao was right, Wu Wanqing had to rely on herself to navigate her life, and who could say for sure what would happen in the future.

When Mrs. Wu Hou left her in the palace, she also wanted to give her a chance to survive. Now that things have developed, Wu Wanqing's eyes are expected to be cured, and the Wu family's situation has also changed.

Things are usually unpredictable, and maybe the next surprise is waiting not far away.

Thinking like this, Xie Jiu stopped thinking about that and just let nature take its course. She rested her head on Gu Xiao's shoulder and teased him, "Now you talk about brother-in-law more smoothly."

Gu Xiao chuckled, "Chang Gong deserves a lot of credit."

The sweet-tongued Chang Gong, ever since he called him brother-in-law that day, when we get along in private, he talks about him as brother-in-law when talking and talking, and he likes this brother-in-law even more.

"I'll take you to Lin Shu's house later. I'll go to Changgong College to have a look and let the dean pay more attention."

Gu Xiao is willing to pay attention to Chang Gong, and is happy to see the success of the wine.

Most of the students in Qingshan Academy have family backgrounds. With Prince Xiao as his backing, the masters will not look down on ordinary people like Chang Gong.

Although Chang Gong is diligent and intelligent, he is only an 11-year-old student. Master's careful teaching is very important to him.

Xie Jiu will not be pedantic. There is obviously a shortcut, but for the so-called ambition, Chang Gong has to suffer more.

She squeezed Gu Xiao's hand and said, "Thank you."

Gu Xiao stopped reading and the two of them talked all the way to Lin Shu's house. Gu Xiao went into the house to meet the old lady and then went to the academy.

Lin Shu was teasing medicinal herbs with Liuya and Wuxin. Xie Jiu called her to go to his room and told her the matter.

As expected, Lin Shu's eyes were red, "It would be great if my father could survive a few more years, my mother..."

There is no such thing as this in the world, and any words of comfort would be in vain. Xie Jiu hugged her and said, "I will accompany you to visit your uncle and aunt, and you can talk to them about the matter."

So that they can comfort their spirits in heaven.

"Okay." Lin Shu nodded.

After preparing some incense candles and snacks, the two went out.

Mrs. Lin died in exile. Doctor Lin was unwilling to leave her alone in an unfamiliar place, so he cremated her and took her ashes to Yuyouguan and buried her at the foot of the mountain opposite Lin Shu's home. .

After Dr. Lin's death, Lin Shu buried the two of them together. Every day when he walked out of the yard, he could see their graves from a distance, which was considered a disguised companionship.

When they arrived at their graves, after thanking each other for wine and paying homage, they took a few steps outside, leaving some space for Lin Shu.

Lin Shu was usually calm-tempered and had low mood swings, but at this moment, he was crying like a child.

Xie Jiu's nose felt a little sore, and she took a few steps outside. At this time, any comfort was unnecessary, and she only needed to accompany him silently.

Unexpectedly, he saw the sneaky Mr. Hu as he moved around. Xie Jiu subconsciously ducked and hid behind the tree.

Mrs. Hu obviously heard Lin Shu's cry. She paused and listened, then looked around. When she saw Lin Shu lowered his head and cried, he didn't notice her. There was no one else nearby, so she continued to go into the mountain. .

Xie Jiu hesitated for a moment and then followed.

Since the last time the Yang family was burned down and Mrs. Hu was kicked out of the house by Boss Yang, she has found a place to stay by selling her body.

After that, she became a prostitute in the exile area.

Mr. Yang was so angry that he wanted to beat her, but Hu's sweetheart beat her up. He was so angry that he immediately tore the lining of his clothes, bit his fingers and wrote a letter of divorce.

Everyone is a prisoner, and this divorce letter is not recognized by the court, but now Boss Yang can only find such a fig leaf.

Hu, who had written a letter of divorce in public, seemed to have broken a jar and acted without any scruples.

But today she was hiding like a thief, which made Xie Jiu wary.
