Lucky's Rebirth

At this time, because Gu Tai's long-cherished wish was about to become a reality, his warm mind was full of joy. He thought that if he was so happy, Mrs. Yang, the person involved, should be even happier. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yang not only did not look happy, but on the contrary , Crying but not crying, half smiling but not smiling, his face was bloodless, his lips trembled, not as if he was overjoyed, but rather desperate and helpless.

The servant woman standing by the side seemed to be bowing her head, but she could see something wrong with Mrs. Yang. It stands to reason that Mrs. Yang could only be happy now - as long as she took out the longevity lock, it would not only prove that Mrs. Yang's Innocence, he can even be rewarded by the royal family. After all, he has been wronged for 23 years and has won 50 silver. Maybe Yang will get a royal order?

But now, even if the old Yang's eyes were blurred, he would definitely not regard Yang's expression as crazy with joy. Suddenly, the old Yang's heart skipped a beat.

The air in the room was a little oppressive.

"Cousin, what's the matter with you? I'm your husband, can you tell me what's the matter?" Gu Tai said softly, since Gu Yihui was born without seeing people dead or corpses, I don't know if Gu Tai lied to himself, or He really thought so, he always believed that the instigator of Gu Yihui's disappearance was Gu Changhua, maybe Yihui was dead, Yang's face was washed with tears day and night, Gu Changhua was Gu Tai's son, and Gu Tai could not punish Gu Changhua, he could only punish Yue More and more guilt has been compensated for by Bai's mother and son, who are low-key and gentle.

Yang tightened her handkerchief tightly, her eyes felt a little hot, she held back, "Old Yang's family, you step back."

When there were only two people left in the room, the windows and the door were opened—so that anyone who approached would know, Yang's tears could no longer be held back, and the silent crying made Gu Tai's heart twitch.

Gu Tai grabbed Yang Shi's hand, "Cousin, you trust me, no matter what happens, I will protect you."

These words, Gu Tai absolutely came from the heart, and he protected Yang from the beginning to the end.For Yang's sake, he betrayed his father, Gu Yuyang, and his elder brother was disappointed with him many times. For Bai's family, besides giving her a little bit of dignity, he also had a lot of calculations. For his only son, he even deprived him of a lot of dignity. .Only Yang Shi, in terms of her bright color and fading color in old age, Gu Tai has not changed from the beginning to the end.

Yang raised her head, her eyelashes were stained with tears, and her eyes were red. The crying before seemed to have won Gu Tai's love and affection. In fact, even though Gu Tai had paid a lot for her, she still didn't believe him. Tai's illusory love can be withdrawn at any time. For any woman, Gu Tai can't give her the sense of security brought by the position of the main wife. For so many years, she lives in the fear of being abandoned by Gu Tai at any time.

But today—

Maybe she has lost everything, but God still treats her well. He gave her a man who is rare for all women in the world. Even if she dies, she will not waste her life.

Yang wiped away her tears, "To meet my cousin in this life, I will not waste my life."

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this." Gu Tai said seriously, "Tell me honestly, is there something wrong with the longevity lock in your house?"

Listening to Gu Tai's words, Yang's breath was suffocated, and she smiled wryly, "How did my cousin guess that?"

Then Mrs. Yang shook her head, how could she have forgotten that Gu Tai is old and talented, he has been an official for twenty years, and has served as governor twice, his expression is so suspicious, with Gu Tai's shrewdness, how could he guess? less than?

Before, she tripped up Bai's mother and son many times, Gu Tai was not deceived by him, but willing to be deceived by her.

Now, Yang really believes that Gu Tai loves her, not a woman, but a woman called 'her'.

Knowing that it was not the right time, Yang's heart was still a little sweet.

"Tell me what's going on, and see if there is any remedy. We don't have much time, and the officials from Dali Temple will probably come to the door soon." Gu Tai squeezed Yang's hand, urging to remind.

Mrs. Yang immediately snapped, "Cousin, let me make a long story short. In 23 years, before our house was ransacked, my father did give it to my mother, a long-lived lock. He didn't tell us what it is useful for, but just said this It is very important to our family, it can make the Yang family stand up, and when the time comes, someone will come to pick it up with a similar longevity lock."

Falling into memory, Yang's face was a little mournful, but his mouth came out very smoothly. Now that Gu Tai knows all the facts, he can come up with a countermeasure, "Afterwards, my cousin should have guessed that the corruption The case broke out, my father was implicated, and then suddenly one day, a mysterious person came to our prison and asked for my father’s belongings, which we gave.”

Yang's face was calm but she didn't regret it. Although they violated her father's last wish, if they hadn't handed over the longevity lock, it's hard to say whether she would be alive now. Even if she was alive, she would be nothing but a walking corpse. If she dies, her mother can't die, and her relatives can't live a happy life except for the lowly.

Wait until now, Kang Zeming came to reverse the case?Their bones may have rotted away.

The Yang family was not guilty in the first place, even if they handed over the longevity lock to the culprit, that would not be a crime.

It's not that the whole family doesn't come into the house, Gu Tai also thought about it, and comforted him: "Then it can't be blamed."

No wonder, the rest of the two families were all convicted, girls were sent to the teaching workshop, and boys under the age of ten were demoted to military slaves—but they all committed suicide—there was only one left, Kang Zeming, who was reduced to a prostitute, and the other was Qing Sui, who concealed his parentage, and the Yang family, were only sold into slavery, and could not be redeemed.

Selling as a slave is already the lightest punishment. Some of them are demoted to the army, used as official prostitutes, become official slaves who cannot be traded, and exiled. Selling as a slave, as long as relatives can help , will never suffer.

"That's not your fault, if you want to blame it, you have to blame the people who framed the Yang family." Gu Tai gritted his teeth, he ruined their lives.

"Then what should I do now, I can't get the longevity lock?" Yang said.

She exchanged the longevity lock for their family's life, and the result of the compromise was only 23 years, but do you regret it?

She doesn't regret it, and if she knew there would be today, she wouldn't regret it either.

But no matter whether you regret it or not, the Yang family can't expose their dealings with the people behind the scenes to the world. This will wipe out the Yang family's 23 years of suffering, and turn the sympathy that the Yang family has gained through humiliation into shame. .

Not to mention, the Yang family became Gu Tai's second wife, even the Yang family's son Gu Changting, Yang's husband Gu Tai, the Yang family, and the Gu family would all be ridiculed and stigmatized.

Faced with the approaching situation, Gu Tai was also helpless, no matter what they did, as long as they couldn't take out the longevity lock, at least the hat that they didn't keep well, they would put it on the Yang family.

Right now, I can only seek meritorious deeds but hope for perfection. It is a pity that such a good opportunity has been lost. Gu Tai said: "Cousin, for the current plan, I can only ask Dali Temple to find my brother-in-law."

Yang's mother is gone, and now only Yang's elder brother is left in the Yang family, and he is in the capital, and is well taken care of by the Gu family. As a married woman, Yang's elder brother is more qualified and more It is obligatory to keep the longevity lock. As for why the longevity lock is missing, just find a reason to prevaricate it. Poor storage is better than "selling yourself to protect yourself".

Now there is no need to think about getting any benefits, Gu Tai will be content without implicating the Yang family.

This is just a bad idea, but Yang has no choice.

"Does it have to be like this?" Yang asked Gu Tai as well as herself, this may be his only chance to turn around, she is not reconciled.

"There is no other way." Gu Tai said dejectedly.

The sound of footsteps gradually increased, and the old Yang's family came in again, whispering, "Second Master, Second Madam, the servants of the Dali Temple have arrived."

Gu Tai and Yang Shi looked at each other, Yang Shi nodded.

"Then I'm leaving." Gu Tai got up and said.

"Well, second master, this slave has something to report." The old Yang family lowered his head and gritted his teeth, "The servant just forgot to report some things in a hurry. Among the three longevity locks, except for Kang Zeming's one, The other two are in our Gu residence, one is with the second lady, and the other is in the hands of the second young master's personal servant, Qingsui."

"Are you serious?" With such a turn of events, Gu Tai felt that his blood was heating up all over his body, and the sky would never stop him.

Yang's is much calmer than Gu Tai, she was looking at the old Yang's family, what she said was really at the right time, I don't know if she guessed that the longevity lock in her hand has been lost.

The old Yang's head was lowered, she didn't see the murderous intent in Yang's eyes, she was just happily waiting to receive the reward, she indeed guessed that there was a problem with the Longevity Lock in Yang's hand, otherwise Yang would not Will there be that expression?

She was also gambling, the room was quiet, and Lao Yang's family gradually began to sweat.

"You have made great achievements, what reward do you want?" Yang said slowly.

The old Yang's raised his head, his eyes were dazed, and his eyes were filled with incomprehension, "Slaves... have made meritorious service...?"

Seeing the behavior of the old Yang family, Yang felt a little relieved. Those words must have been misunderstood, "Okay, I said that you have made meritorious service, and you have made meritorious service. Think about what you want, and let me know what you want in a while." Tell me." She didn't have time to talk to her now.

Old Yang's family was overjoyed, what she wanted was this sentence, what she wanted was to become Yang's confidant.

"Go and watch outside, don't let anyone come near here." Yang said.

Old Yang's family became even more respectful, "Yes, Second Madam."

"I'm going outside to greet the yamen servants of Dali Temple." Gu Tai said.

"I will find a way to delay the time." Yang said.

"Be a little more modest, don't hurt yourself." It was the first time that Gu Tai spoke so bluntly to Yang Shi, and acquiesced to Yang Shi's behavior.

There was nothing more to say, and the two of them understood what was in each other's hearts tacitly with just a few words.

Now that they have turned around and the road ahead is no longer a dead end, their previous bad strategy was naturally abandoned, and now there is only one way left in front of them, and that is to take the longevity lock in Qing Sui's hand, As the Yang family.

A mere boy is definitely not as important as the Yang family who belongs to the Gu family. Long life is locked in the hands of the Yang family, and the benefits to the Gu family will be greater. Facing the interests of the Gu family, Gu Yu just doesn't like the Yang family. , he will also pretend to be deaf and dumb, but in fact he acquiesces.

As for Gu Changhua, Gu Tai needs to use affection to attract people, use benefits to seduce people, use filial piety to suppress people, just a servant?

Take a step back, even if Gu Changhua's side is not fair, it's not too late to make the next move

Always give it a try.

Yang walked upstairs, feeling extremely bitter in her heart. She found that she always dug a hole to bury herself. She instigated Gu Tai to succeed Gu Changhua. As a result, Gu Changhua became the successor and Bai reconciled. She wanted to prevent Bai from reconciling. In the end, her daughter disappeared, and the chains were intertwined. The cause and effect have led to today step by step. Perhaps, she will ruin the only hope for the Yang family to turn around.

If I had known why today, the hope of the Yang family now lies in Gu Changhua's thought.

Yang is not dreaming, Gu Changhua will definitely let her go, but she has to try.

She looked at the wooden stairs in front of her, estimated the height, then closed her eyes and leaned back.
