[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Feng was even more terrified, sweating profusely.Her eyes were dull, and she murmured: "How could it be..."

She had a bad idea in her heart, Gu Chaoyu was taken away by thieves, right?In this way, the reputation of the daughter's family is also ruined, and even if she is found, life will be worse than death.Therefore, before the incident becomes serious, we must find it quietly.

Although Mrs. Liu doesn't like Mrs. Feng, she is not such a vicious person.Furthermore, she was the one who brought Gu Chaoyu out, and now she is very anxious when he disappears.

After thinking about it, she asked: "Hasn't Zhu Xiao been following the eldest girl all this time, has she come back?"

Feng shook his head, "I didn't even see anyone."

The coachman and the carriage came back, but the girl did not come back, which is really strange.

Feng walked up to Mrs. Gu and cried, "Mother, what should I do?"

Madam Gu also frowned, "Where's the second child?"

Feng Shi said: "I went out to drink and socialize with someone..."

"Don't call him back at this time!" Mrs. Gu slapped the table, "You don't look like a father all day long!"

Feng Shi is not in the mood to scold Gu Hong now, "Mom, what should we do now?"

Mrs. Gu said: "Send someone to call the second child back to me. Take my post and go to Shuntian Fu Yin quietly, and ask him to send someone to help find him." After a pause, he said to Gu Xingchi, "Zhao Hua, you go too."

Mrs. Gu felt that Gu Xingchi was more reliable than Shuntian Fu Yin.But there is nothing wrong with finding more people.

Gu Xingchi stood up and said, "Yes, grandma."

For the first time, Feng felt a little grateful to Gu Xingchi, and then urged Gu Xingchi to go quickly.

Everyone was fidgeting, the old lady didn't say she was tired, and no one dared to go back to rest, just waiting for the news to come.

The room was very quiet, and occasionally the sound of candles bursting could be heard, weak and crisp, which seemed very abrupt at this time.

Gu Hong, on the other hand, was called back soon.The old lady was upset, she just scolded Gu Hong, and then asked him to go to the ancestral hall to think about it.

At such an advanced age, he was fined to kneel in front of the ancestral hall, and Gu Hong was humiliated in front of the younger generation again, so he didn't dare to refute the old lady.Inadvertently met Feng's eyes that wished to kill him, and walked away dejectedly.

After nearly half an hour, Mrs. Gu seemed to remember something, pointed at Sister Feng, and said to Yingzhu: "Help your wife go back to rest first, she can't be tired now."

Naturally, Sister Feng would not disappoint the old lady's kindness, and was supported to get up slowly, and she left.

Sister Feng looked at the stars in the night sky and sighed softly.

Ping'er reminded: "Madam be careful."

Sister Feng said indifferently: "There were guards escorting her along the way, and Third Aunt watched her get into the carriage with her own eyes. How could such a big living person be lost? Even if there were thieves, why did they only take away the big girl? Take the second girl away. Now the second girl is the future Princess Qing, so it stands to reason that she is more valuable than the eldest girl."

"Could it be that someone deliberately murdered and did it on purpose?" Ping'er said, "But the eldest girl is a boudoir, who will she offend?"

Sister Feng chuckled, "What kind of ghosts and monsters, there are many tricks in this big mansion. Until the last moment, you will never know who is behind the scenes."

Ping'er didn't understand, Yingzhu seemed to have realized something, carefully supported Sister Feng, and said: "Madam, don't worry, the truth will come to light soon."

Sister Feng didn't think about it all the time, she cleaned up and settled down when she returned to Yusheng Residence.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, she opened her eyes, and habitually touched the side with her hand, which was empty.She suddenly remembered that Gu Xingchi hadn't come back yet.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and after a while, the door was gently pushed open.

Sister Feng felt that the movement was very familiar, and asked softly, "Have you found him?"

Gu Xingchi walked over briskly, and covered her with a quilt, "Well, why aren't you asleep?"

Under the dim candlelight, Sister Feng looked into his eyes, "I just woke up. Is she okay?"

Gu Xingchi's lips curled up, his eyes darkened, "Don't worry, she's fine."

Sister Feng said suspiciously: "I heard what you said, but it doesn't look very good."

Although the curfew was lifted tonight, but the gates of the city were closed, even if a thief kidnapped Gu Zhaoyu, he would not be able to leave the city.Therefore, Gu Xingchi asked people to look for him in the city.Two hours later, I saw someone, but they didn't find it, but Gu Zhaoyu was wandering the street alone.

"Grandmother and Second Aunt asked her what was going on, but she refused to say anything, and insisted that she got separated from Third Aunt and the others while they were playing. The reason why Third Aunt said she saw her get into the carriage with her own eyes was because The third aunt was wrong. She insisted on saying that, and grandma couldn't continue to press her. The second aunt loves her daughter very much, so naturally she doesn't want grandma to pursue it, so grandma no longer cares."

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows, "Hearing what you said, I think the eldest girl is hiding something from us, even the second aunt doesn't know, what exactly is she trying to do?"

Gu Xingchi said: "No matter what she has in mind, it's best not to threaten us or hurt the Gu family."

Sister Feng was still worried, "Everything should be prevented before it happens. I think it's time to investigate what she has done recently."

Gu Xingchi took off his clothes and snuggled up to her, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements." He hugged her and patted her back, "Okay, don't worry about these little things, you should go to sleep."

Sister Feng laughed, "Do you think you are coaxing children?"

Gu Xingchi smiled, and touched her ear with his lips, "Yes, so you have to listen to me."

Sister Feng stared at him fixedly, not intending to sleep.

"Don't you want to sleep yet?" Gu Xingchi joked with a smile, "If you don't want to sleep, you can do something else."

As he spoke, he bent down.

Looking at his face, Sister Feng suddenly came to her senses, dodged in time, covered her face and said, "I hate it, it's time to sleep."

Gu Xingchi laughed softly, "Okay, stop making trouble, go to sleep."

Although three months had already passed, he still endured it for the sake of the child, occasionally frightening her with this incident.

Gu Xingchi looked at her for a while, then closed his eyes.Suddenly, she heard a muffled snort, frowning in discomfort.

He quickly sat up and asked nervously, "What's uncomfortable?"

Sister Feng looked pitiful, "Leg hurts, it seems to have a cramp."

Gu Xingchi got out of bed immediately and rubbed her legs before he could put on his shoes.

"Does it still hurt?"

"There's still a little..."

"now what?"

……

The next day.

When Sister Feng woke up, there was no one around, and Gu Xingchi came back after breakfast.

"Have you found it?"

Gu Xingchi nodded and told her one by one.

Two days before the Huachao Festival, Gu Zhaoyu asked Zhu Xiao to take a set of dresses to an embroidery workshop that the Gu family did not use, and made people rush to work day and night to make a set of exactly the same dresses.And this dress was worn by Gu Zhaoyu at the Flower Festival.But after returning last night, Gu Zhaoyu ordered people to burn the dress he was wearing.

Hearing this, Sister Feng said: "It's just a piece of clothing, but it's so mysterious, and it must be made exactly the same. In addition, she denied that she was in the carriage before, so there is only one possibility - someone was wearing her dress that day." Clothes, got into the carriage instead of her, that's why Third Aunt saw it with her own eyes."

"Then, after disappearing for a while, she will change into the same clothes as before, and wait for us to find her." Gu Xingchi took the conversation.

Sister Feng said: "No wonder Third Aunt didn't find anything wrong when she entered the mansion. So she found a substitute for herself. When everyone is not paying attention, it's fine for the servant girl to leave first."

Moreover, there are many women who wear veils when traveling, which makes it easier to cheat.

"She has made such a big circle, spent so much effort, just to disappear for two hours, what is she going to do?"

Gu Xingchi said: "I will send someone to investigate again."

Since the Huachao Festival, Gu Zhaoyu said that he would not be sick for several days, so naturally he did not go to Ning Xin Tang to pay his respects.Feng was worried about her health, so he invited the imperial physician to see her, but in the end he could only come up with the statement of 'heart qi stagnation'.

Feng Shi thought that Gu Zhaoyu was probably still depressed about Gu Qionghua's becoming Princess Qing, so he often went to comfort her.Gu Zhaoyu just listened, but didn't say a word, being too quiet.

On this day, Gu Zhaoyu was sitting in front of the window embroidering flowers, but Qian Momo came in person and said that the old lady invited the eldest girl over.

Gu Zhaoyu remained silent, put down his needle and thread, and arrived at Ning Xintang.

"Granddaughter pays respects to grandmother." She bowed her head and saluted.

Mrs. Gu didn't let her sit down, and asked, "Is your body better?"

"Thank you grandma for caring, my granddaughter is much better."

Mrs. Gu glanced at her and smiled slightly, "If you can calculate this and that, your health will naturally be very good."

"The granddaughter doesn't understand what grandma is talking about." Gu Zhaoyu lowered his eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye.

"I'm old, and I just want to take care of my life. As long as you don't cause any major troubles, I don't care about the affairs of the house. But this time—— Zhao Yu, you have gone too far. Your heart is higher than the sky, and you have never been reconciled to it." I know that you live under others. But you should never, never should, and should not do such things that hurt others and benefit yourself. Even if you don't care about your own reputation, you should also think about your family, but what about you, you What have you done?"

Faced with Mrs. Gu's questioning, Gu Qionghua was not moved at all, and even felt that Mrs. Gu was putting on a fake.The old lady keeps saying that the reputation of the Gu family is good. As the daughter of the Gu family, she must set an example, but what has she gained?In the future, it's not like marrying an ordinary child from an aristocratic family and living a mediocre life, but Gu Qionghua has never worked hard, but easily sat on the position of Princess Qing, why?She is better than Gu Qionghua at all.

She just stubbornly remained silent, but it meant she was resisting.

Even though Mrs. Gu was dissatisfied in her heart, she remained calm on the surface, "You have to know, with the relationship between the Gu family and the Xu family, it is absolutely impossible for you to enter the prince's mansion. Furthermore, the prince's talent and character are definitely not a good match. You'll regret it sooner or later."

After all, Gu Zhaoyu is her own granddaughter, and she is also thinking about Gu Zhaoyu's lifelong happiness.

Gu Zhaoyu doesn't think so, she just thinks Mrs. Gu is partial to the third wife and two daughters, so she doesn't want her to marry well.

"Grandmother, no granddaughter."

Mrs. Gu did not expect her to be so obsessed, "Do you want me to show evidence? Because of your face as a daughter's family, I only tell you alone, if you still don't know how to repent, go to the nunnery and be a sister-in-law." I don't think anyone is allowed to ruin the Gu family's reputation, especially if that person is a descendant of the Gu family."

When Gu Xingchi handed her the intercepted letter, she was also shocked. She couldn't believe that Gu Zhaoyu, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, would do such an insulting thing.

Hearing this, Gu Chaoyu finally had waves on his face.She felt that the old lady was so cruel that she wanted to abandon her and let her be her sister-in-law!She still has a good life, and she still wants to become a master, so she doesn't want to compromise.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu didn't understand anything.She waved her hand, "If that's the case, go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. When you figure it out, someone will tell me."

This is what grounds her.

Gu Chaoyu bowed and retired, "Zhaoyu obeys."

Qian Momo helped Old Man Hu rub his forehead, "Old Madam, do you want the Second Master and Second Madam to know about this matter?"

Old Madam Gu opened her eyes, "The good daughters they have brought up must naturally be disciplined by them."

Qian Momo understood, and asked someone to invite Gu Hong and Feng Shi over.

"It stands to reason that the eldest girl is the most sensible and obedient, why this time..."

Mrs. Gu chuckled, "I know people, face but not heart. I am old after all, and I can't see clearly the thoughts of their young people."

Qian Momo smiled and said: "The old lady is young, her eyes are bright, how can she be old?"

Mrs. Gu smiled and sighed: "Fortunately, girl Feng is a good child, and Zhaohua is also upbeat and has some skills. With him around, the Gu family will not collapse, and the Gu family will rely entirely on him."

Qian Momo said: "Brother Wen is progressive in his studies, and he will be able to help Lord Hou in the future. The third master is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he will definitely teach Brother Ming well."

Mrs. Gu waved her hand, "It's useless, it's useless..."

For the person above, the entire Gu family, he only cared about Gu Xingchi.The Gu family can survive until now only because of Gu Xingchi.

Sister Feng was not surprised when she heard the news that Gu Zhaoyu was grounded, "Half a month has passed, what did the eldest girl do?"

Xiang'er said: "It's just writing and embroidering in the house every day. Don't cry or make trouble, and eat three meals a day as usual."

Sister Feng held the scripture book in her hand, "The elder girl's concentration is extraordinary, even calmer than the second aunt."

Ever since Gu Chaoyu was grounded, Feng's face was pulled every day, and when she saw Liu, she also picked her nose and eyes, as if it was Liu's fault that Gu Chaoyu's private meeting with the prince was discovered.No matter how many times she begged the old lady for love, the old lady would not let Gu Zhaoyu out, she must make Gu Zhaoyu admit her mistake.

This time, Gu Zhaoyu was determined to fight the old lady to the end, and refused to give in.

At this time, Gu Hong was still thinking about accepting another roommate, which was Liuyun.

Angrily, Feng led people to smash Liuyun's house, and even sold her out, but was stopped by Gu Hong.

As for why Gu Hong accepted another room, it was because Mo Nong was pregnant.In this way, it is justifiable to be promoted as an aunt.

"That Mo Nong's tricks are really powerful. He couldn't get into the eyes of Lord Hou, so he turned around and became the second master's person. Fortunately, Madam sent her out of our yard early."

Sister Feng: "..." Gu Hong really doesn't care about meat and vegetables, as long as someone flirts with him, he will hug him on his bed.

"What else is interesting outside?" In order to pass the time, she asked her maid to tell her new things outside every day.
