Rebirth of the only favorite fool

At night, the lobby of the Gu family was brightly lit.

Standing in the lobby of Gu's family, Xue Jia lowered her head, only feeling that there was a draft blowing in quietly. Even if the stove was lit in the lobby, it couldn't resist the cold, which made people shiver.

The maid kneeling on the ground was still crying, but Xue Jia only felt a little irony in her heart.How long has Huaiyu been gone, and someone is impatient to attack him?

What happened tonight was clearly a conspiracy.How could it be such a coincidence that he ran into Gu Lianfang on the way when the elder brother let him go there tonight?Gu Lianfang jumped into the lake, and the elder brother suddenly appeared?I'm afraid that what happened tonight was just a cover, and how many people had to be bought in the middle of this scene, and how tightly the arrangements were made, so that this scene happened to fall into the eyes of the Gu family, he vaguely understood in his heart.

Gu Jiude, who was standing on the side, trembled when he heard it, and his face seemed to be filled with unbelievable grief and incomprehensible anger, which penetrated just right, and the sarcasm in Xue Jia's eyes deepened.As soon as the servant girl finished speaking, Gu Jiude finally wailed: "Zhong Ming, I didn't say that, although Lian Fang is indeed interested in Huai Yu, she strictly abides by etiquette and never thought of competing with Xue Fulang! We It’s a family after all! How could he do this? How could he push people directly into the water in such a cold winter?!!!”

Gu Zhongming, who was called out of the hot room in the middle of the night and had to go to the lobby to deal with things, naturally had an ugly face, but he would not completely believe Gu Jiude's one-sided words, so he turned his head to look at Xue Xue with a sullen face. Jia: "Jia'er, tell me, what is going on here?"

Xue Jia's face was very calm, which was in stark contrast to Gu Jiude and the crying maid on the ground: "Father, things are not as they said. Tonight was originally a little girl named Chang Ting in my yard. The boy said that the eldest brother asked me to go to their yard, so I would go out at night."

Gu Huaiyuan frowned when he heard that, his expression was a little ugly: "I didn't call you tonight."

Xue Jia nodded to show that she knew, and continued to say: "Then I ran into Second Miss on the road, Second Miss pulled me and said some inexplicable words, just when I wanted to leave, Second Miss suddenly grabbed me and wanted to push me away. I pushed down the lake. We were all standing very close to the lake, and as soon as I struggled, I saw the second lady fell into the lake by herself."

Xue Jia glanced at Gu Jiude with a half-smile and said, "Although Uncle Jiude may not believe it, it is like this. I have no grievances with Second Miss, so why should I harm her? Second Miss treats me... ..I'm not sure if I'm jealous."

Gu Jiude turned blue with anger, glared at Xue Jia and growled, "Nonsense! Do you mean that Lian Fang is jealous of you, so she deliberately set up a trick to make herself fall into the lake, and frame you at the cost of ruining her body? ? The price is too high!"

Xue Jia raised her eyebrows, her eyes were fixed on Gu Jiude, but her tone was firm: "At that time, Gu Lianfang and I were the only two standing by the lake. Naturally, we were talking one-sidedly, and no one could prove what the truth was. But the truth is the truth. What is it, I think Uncle Jiude knows it very well in his heart!"

"What did you say? Do you mean that I was behind this incident? How could I do such a thing that hurt the family's feelings!" Gu Jiude stepped forward suddenly, wanting to grab Xue Jia as soon as he saw it collar, "It's you, a person with a foreign surname, don't try to provoke the relationship between our Gu family!"

Seeing that Gu Jiude was about to rush over, Xue Jia stretched out his hand in time to resist, but saw a person standing beside Xue Jia, dressed in a capable and tight white-gray cotton coat, directly grabbed Gu Jiude's wrist, with a laziness hanging from the corner of his mouth With a smile: "Old man, just speak well and don't touch your hands. The second young master is not at home. As a friend, you can't see his husband being bullied like this."

Yuelang followed Gu Huaiyu to Taocheng, Ji Zhun disliked the cold outside and didn't go with him.Hearing the news now, he rushed over from Qingzhuyuan, and Gu Jiude was so angry that he was dizzy.

Gu Zhongming watched Gu Jiude rushing forward in a daze. Before he could stop him, he saw Ji Zhun stand up. He was relieved at first, then rubbed his head with a headache, waved his hand and said, "Enough is enough!" Don't make trouble in the lobby anymore! I will find out what happened, and I will definitely have an explanation for it."

Gu Huaiyuan has been watching the development of the situation calmly, and after hearing Gu Zhongming's words, he said in a calm tone: "Father, Xiaoxue didn't say that there was a young man named Chang Ting who falsely passed on the words in our yard, so that he sent him Did you call it out? How about we call that boy over and ask to see who came up with such an idea."

This sentence is obviously biased towards Xue Jia.Chang Ting is someone from Gu Huaiyu's courtyard, that is, Xue Jia's people. Maybe what Xue Jia just said was just a evasion, and he couldn't find anything by asking.But in Gu Huaiyuan's heart, compared with his younger brother, Gu Jiude still has a distant relationship.

Gu Zhongming nodded after listening, and asked his servants to look for this Chang Ting, but the servant who came back said that he could not find this Chang Ting, and Chang Ting just disappeared for no reason!

Afterwards, Gu Jiude insisted in the lobby that Xue Jia did all this on purpose, and wanted to cover up his servants after something happened.Xue Jia spoke coldly at the side, and told Gu Zhongming that he had no idea what was going on with this Chang Ting, maybe he escaped after being bribed.

Gu Zhongming couldn't make a decision for a while, so in the end he had to postpone the matter, and report the case to the Yuncheng Criminal and Prison Division early in the morning to hunt down the escaped servants.Seeing that Gu Lianfang fell into the water after all, Gu Zhongming had no choice but to ask Xue Jia to kneel in the ancestral hall for one night in order to appease Gu Jiude's anger before the truth came to light.

After Gu Zhongming made the decision to make Xue Jia kneel down, he saw some expressions of disapproval on the faces of Bai Shi and Gu Huaiyuan.But Gu Zhongming had already said his words, so naturally he couldn't take them back. After Bai Shi and Gu Huaiyuan looked at each other for a few times, they still didn't say anything in the end.

Xue Jia just bowed slightly to Gu Zhongming and Bai Shi, telling the two elders to go to rest earlier, and went to receive the punishment without saying anything more.

When Xue Jia arrived at the gate of the ancestral hall, he had just sent Ji Zhun back when he saw Gu Huaiyuan chasing him and stopped him at the gate, with a slight remorse in his tone: "Xiao Xue, we all believe in your character. , and didn't mean to punish you. It's just that Dad has always been frank and upright in dealing with people. In order to give them an explanation, he made you kneel as a punishment, and I hope you don't blame Dad."

My younger brother has only been away for less than half a month, and as soon as he left, his husband, whom he loved so much, was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall. Know how to explain to him.

Xue Jia gathered the clothes on her body, her expression was very calm, and there was no resentment in her eyes: "Brother, I probably know what's going on with this matter. I know that my father always handles things fairly, so don't worry. I don't blame my father."

Gu Huaiyuan looked at Xue Jia for a moment, sighed heavily, and had no choice but to tell him: "The one who will see you kneeling for a while is Uncle Heng who has been by Dad's side all year round, and the person in Uncle Heng's room is Rui Niang who is by Mother's side. I have already got my mother's instructions, so I won't look at you seriously. You don't have to kneel down all night after you go in, I'll get someone to bring you a big coat later, and you can find a shelter from the wind and feel wronged for the night."

Xue Jia's heart, which had been icy cold since the accident, finally felt warm. He looked at Gu Huaiyuan and smiled slightly, his expression slowed down a lot: "Thank you mother and elder brother, it's so late, and I still have to do something for you. I worry about things."

Gu Huaiyuan's tone was very gentle: "Why thank you, aren't we a family? Don't worry, this matter will always be explained to you."

After sending Gu Huaiyuan away, Xue Jiamai stepped into the ancestral hall, but he didn't just spend the night as Gu Huaiyuan said, but knelt down in the ancestral hall seriously, regardless of Uncle Heng's dissuasion.

Although Bo Shi and Gu Huaiyuan told him not to punish him by kneeling seriously, he presumably got Gu Zhongming's acquiescence.But what he did tonight would probably be told to Gu Zhongming by Uncle Heng, who was standing aside and watching.If he really didn't take this punishment seriously, Gu Zhongming wouldn't say anything to him on the surface, but he couldn't know what he would think in his heart.

He grew up in Xue's family, although he has always tried his best to avoid those backyard fights, but he really can't see such things more often.Once he was really framed, even his biological father wouldn't believe him, so how dare he just rest assured that this time, the Gu family really had no doubts or grudges towards him?If the same thing happened to Huaiyu, he would naturally be able to sit in the ancestral hall and sleep all night after being punished.What Huaiyu could do, Xue Jia couldn't do.

Because Huaiyu has a good father, and he is just the husband and wife of the Gu family.

There was no fire in the ancestral hall, although Gu Huaiyuan asked someone to bring him a heater, but as the night gradually deepened, this temperature could not resist the gradually spreading cold at night.

Xue Jia, who was kneeling on the ground, only felt that her hands were freezing cold, and her legs were also numb from the cold.He put both hands in his sleeves, and the two sleeves were rolled together, and the cold hands felt better immediately.Xue Jia gathered her hands in her sleeves, and the feeling of sadness that she originally felt gradually dissipated.

Huaiyu specially chose this coat for him.To be precise, when the weather just turned cold, Huaiyu took him to his winter clothes shop and ordered several large clothes for him.Including Huaiyu's two tailor-made garment shops that he knew privately, with the furs shipped from Taocheng, Huaiyu picked out the best materials and made them into furs for him.

Although he was not Huaiyu's favorite person at first, and he was not happy when he first married in, but at that time he didn't even think about the day when Huaiyu would change his mind.Although he still had doubts about what Huaiyu said about the past and present, he finally got the love he wanted most.Besides, the Gu family treated him very well, they always treated him like their own family, so why should he bother himself?

Although there was no entanglement with the Gu family, Xue Jia still felt a little strange. He still didn't quite understand what Gu Lianfang's intention was in doing this.Even if she really jumped into the water to frame him, so what?If you catch Chang Ting, maybe everything will come to light.Even if Chang Ting can't be caught, and this matter becomes a mystery, how will it affect him?

It is impossible for the Gu family to drive him away because of this incident, at most they have slight doubts about him.If Huaiyu came back, it is impossible to believe that he pushed Gu Lianfang into the water.This method was too simple and rude, even if he wanted to drive a wedge between him and Huaiyu, it would be difficult.After all, Gu Lianfang had almost no major influence on him other than drowning herself, so why did she do this?Is it just to make the Gu family have a bad impression of him?Or, does she have other backhands?

Xue Jia, who couldn't figure it out, gradually felt a little sleepy, and looked back, only to see that Uncle Heng had already fallen asleep in another chair by the stove.Xue Jia couldn't help being a little slack, her shoulders relaxed, she knelt on the ground and curled up into a ball, her eyes narrowed, intending to sleep for a while.

Consciousness was a little blurred, and one last thought came to his mind: If Huaiyu was at home, he would never agree to come here to kneel in the ancestral hall, and he would definitely not be willing to let himself suffer from the cold.Alas, it seems that Huaiyu is really spoiled.

I don't know how long I've been sleepy like this, but Xue Jia just felt that she was being shaken lightly, and her heart became alert, and she woke up all of a sudden.I don't know if his head was a little confused because of the cold, but he subconsciously called out a name: "Huaiyu..."

However, no one called his name with a familiar voice, and no one came to lift him up and take him back to the warm room.Then Xue Jia saw a pair of black, bright and deep eyes, filled with sadness that almost overflowed, staring at him without blinking.

This is... Chen Linqing!
