Master Gu met Hai Xibo in the court hall, he raised his eyebrows coldly, and didn't give him a good look.
Haisib was furious.
Well, you Gu Zhili, the old man didn't give you a slap in the face, but you slapped your nose. Is it really easy to deceive me when I am an old man
Hai Xibo made a serious note of Mr. Gu.
After leaving the court, he ordered people to collect black materials about Mr. Gu. Check back directly until Mr. Gu was young and just started to be an official.
I don't believe that Master Gu can't be caught.
Haisib rushed back to the mansion angrily. When he entered the door, he asked the servants, "What's the situation with the second young master?"
The servant replied: "The situation is not very good. I have a fever that has not subsided."
Hai Xibo frowned, "How could this be? What did Doctor Wang say?"
"Physician Wang said that the second young master's wound was inflamed, which caused a fever. He will try his best to reduce the fever for the second young master. Wang Taiyi also said that these are normal symptoms, but the second young master's illness is more serious than others."
Hai Xibo didn't go to the study, but went directly to the backyard to visit Zhao Erlang.
Mrs. Haisib just cried a lot. When she saw Haisiebo, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Why is uncle here?"
"I'll take a look at Erlang."
Mrs. Hai Xibo was heartbroken, "Seeing Erlang unconscious, I feel very sad."
Haisib didn't say anything, and went straight into the bedroom.
Gu Yue was wiping Zhao Erlang's body.
Seeing Hai Xibo coming, she hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Free gift."
Gu Yue bowed and stood aside, "I have taken the medicine twice today, but there is no sign of waking up."
Seeing Gu Yue's haggard face and the big dark circles under his eyes, Hai Xibo sighed, "All these things are left to the servants, you go down and have a good rest."
"Daughter-in-law is worried about her husband. Anyway, she can't sleep, so it's better to stay here. If there is any movement, daughter-in-law will know immediately."
"Thanks a lot."
"Daughter-in-law is not hard."
Hai Xibo frowned, staring at the unconscious Zhao Erlang.
It's been a few days, and I've only woken up once. If this continues, I'm afraid life will be lost.
Hai Xibo checked Zhao Erlang's injury again, it was inflamed and filled with pus, no wonder the high fever persisted.
He sighed again, walked out of the bedroom, and whispered to Mrs. Haisible, "Order to prepare first."
Mrs. Haisie was stunned for a moment, "What are you going to do?"
"Prepare for Erlang's funeral."
"what?"
Mrs. Hessiebe turned pale with fright, and tears fell as soon as she saw it.
She suppressed and asked: "Why is this so? Is uncle going to give up on Erlang?"
"It's not that I want to give up on him, but that his situation may be more or less ominous."
Gu Yue stood by the bed, silently stopping the conversation outside.
She gently wiped Zhao Erlang's cheeks, but her eyes were shining brightly with excitement.
Mrs. Haisib refused to order anyone to prepare for the funeral.
Hai Xibo lost his temper, "You have also seen Erlang's situation. How long are you going to lie to yourself?"
"This concubine is not deceiving myself, I believe in the medical skills of Imperial Physician Wang, and I will definitely be able to save Erlang."
"It's been a few days, and Erlang's injury is getting worse and worse. Now that things are going on, let's think about it."
"How can I think about it? He is my child born in October."
"Do you think I don't feel bad? I worked hard to pull him, but in the end..."
At this moment, the butler hurried over, "Sign up, Uncle, Ma'am, that one is here."
"Which one?" Haisib asked angrily.
The housekeeper said fearfully, "It's the nobleman whom the Second Young Master befriended who has come."
"What?" Mrs. Haisib turned pale with shock.
Hai Xibo felt humiliated, "Nizi, he deserves to die!"
The dignified second young master of the Earl's Mansion, who serves the powerful and powerful with sex, how can he not be angry as a father.
If you haven't seen it with your own eyes in the past, it's as if it didn't happen.
But now that people are coming to the door, Haisib can't escape.
He asked the butler, "What did that man come to do?"
"They said they were visiting the second young master." The housekeeper's calves were trembling.
"Hmph!" Hai Xibo snorted heavily, "Tell him, Erlang is seriously injured and unconscious, and cannot see guests."
"Don't blame uncle, I really miss Erlang in my heart, and broke in without permission."
A slightly anxious voice sounded outside, full of breath.
Haisib was furious.
Okay, dare to trespass.
"His Royal Highness King Yan came here uninvited, he is really a rare visitor."
Haisib stood at the door with a cold face, already extremely annoyed.
In the bedroom, Gu Yue quietly came to the window, opened a slit, and looked outside secretly.
It has long been heard that Zhao Erlang has a friend outside, who is also a nobleman. But I didn't expect it to be His Royal Highness King Yan.
Gu Yue was taken aback.
His Royal Highness King Yan came in person, will he discover the truth
Calm down, calm down!
Even Imperial Physician Wang didn't notice it, and King Yan certainly didn't have that ability.
Mrs. Hai Xibo walked into the bedroom and saw Gu Yue standing by the window, she didn't know anything.
She scolded angrily: "What are you still standing for? Why don't you step back quickly."
Gu Yue looked aggrieved, like a pissed off daughter-in-law, not daring to resist. It will only say: "My daughter-in-law is worried about her husband."
Mrs. Haisiebo didn't like this, "Back off. When the nobleman comes, don't be ashamed."
As soon as Gu Yue burst into tears, she walked out of the bedroom aggrieved.
I was cursing in my heart, I don't know who is embarrassing.
snort!
His Royal Highness King Yan insisted on going in to visit Zhao Erlang.
Haisib couldn't stop it, so he could only get out of the way.
His Royal Highness King Yan hurried to the bedroom.
Zhao Erlang's current appearance is not good, his face is bruised and swollen, like a yaksha ghost.
His Royal Highness Yan frowned slightly, "How could this be?"
"I was injured, of course it is." Haisib said angrily.
His Royal Highness King Yan did not stay for too long because he was also worried about irritating Haisib. In less than a quarter of an hour, he left.
Mrs. Haisib breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Haisib brought up the old story again, "Prepare for the funeral."
She looked dull and sad, "Why is this? Is there really no hope?"
Haisib sighed, "If there is half hope, wouldn't I fight for it?"
And even if he is rescued, Erlang has no legs, so he will become a burden.
Hai Xibo didn't have much affection for Zhao Erlang.
Because of Zhao Erlang's special orientation, father and son often have conflicts in their daily life, and the relationship between father and son gradually fades.
Mrs. Hai Xibo had no choice but to order someone to prepare for Zhao Erlang's funeral.
That night, Zhao Erlang swallowed his last breath.
Gu Yue wailed loudly, unable to control herself.
She knelt on the ground, pinching her thighs desperately with both hands.
Others thought she was too sad.
The truth is, however, that she was worried that she would laugh and be found out.
Early the next morning, the mourners came to the palace.
When Gu Jiu heard this, Zhao Erlang actually died
"Doctor Wang went out in person, but he couldn't save him?"
The servant who reported the funeral bowed and said, "My second young master has been suffering from a high fever, and Imperial Physician Wang is helpless."
Gu Jiu nodded and asked, "When is the funeral?"
The servant said: "The spirit will be suspended for seven days. The funeral will be held in seven days."
Gu Jiu said, "Madam Ben knows."
Afterwards, Gu Jiu ordered someone to deliver a funeral ceremony to Haixibo Mansion.
Mother Fang asked, "Madam, do you want to go and have a look?"
Gu Jiu said, "I'll go over to have a look tomorrow, and I've paid all the courtesy."
…
Early in the morning, Gu Jiu came to Haixibo Mansion in a carriage.
Regardless of how Hai Xibo and Mr. Gu fought in private, they didn't tear each other apart on the surface, and the Gu and Zhao families were still in-laws.
Gu Jiu got off at the second gate, and learned from the servants that Mrs. Xie was here.
Because Gu Zhen was pregnant, it was inconvenient for her to go out of the house, so she only sent someone to bring a funeral ceremony, but she did not come over herself.
Led by his servants, Gu Jiu first went to the mourning hall and burned a stick of incense for Zhao Erlang.
No matter how scumbag Zhao Erlang was when he was alive, now that he is dead, as the saying goes, the dead are the greatest, and all ashes return to ashes.
No one will mention Zhao Erlang's bad, only think about his good.
Zhao Erlang has no heirs, only Gu Yue, his wife, and two concubines.
The three knelt in the mourning hall, weeping for Zhao Erlang and keeping watch.
When seeing Gu Yue, Gu Jiu was startled.
Gu Yue's eye sockets were sunken, and there were obvious dark circles around her eye sockets, and she lost a lot of weight.
What a torment this is, to toss myself into this appearance in just a few days.
At this moment, Gu Jiu began to doubt his own judgment.
Does Gu Yue look like he's holding back bad water
In Gu Jiu's heart, he always suspected that Zhao Erlang's injury was not simple, and that it was Gu Yue who did it behind his back.
With Gu Yue's bad temper, she would definitely do this kind of thing.
But seeing Gu Yue's haggard and sad appearance, she couldn't help doubting her own judgment.
Could it be that she wronged Gu Yue
Is Gu Yue really a peerless white lotus? Have you really changed your temper and become that virtuous daughter-in-law sincerely
how is this possible
This is not the Gu Yue she knows.
"Third sister, please mourn?"
Gu Yue returned the gift, "Thank you, Second Sister, for coming to the door in person."
Her voice was hoarse, and she had obviously been kneeling for a long time, and her mouth was dry.
Gu Jiu said: "Third sister should take care of herself anyway, at least drink some water."
Gu Yue looked more sad than heartbroken, "Thank you second sister for your concern, I'm fine and I can hold on. It's just my mother, can second sister help me persuade her not to make trouble, at least not here Time for trouble."
Gu Jiu was curious, "What's wrong with Madam?"
Gu Yue said sadly: "My mother loves me so much, she learned that my husband passed away and I have no children, so she planned to let me pack up the dowry and go back to my mother's house.
My husband's bones are still cold, how can I leave at this time. But what I said, my mother would not listen.
She is negotiating with her mother-in-law. Second sister, please watch over me, okay? I don't want my mother to offend everyone because of me. "
Gu Jiu stared at Gu Yue suspiciously.
Gu Yue didn't want to leave Haixi Bo's mansion, wanted to be a filial piety for Zhao Erlang, but also kept chaste
Could this be Gu Yue
When would such a selfish person like Gu Yue be so considerate and virtuous
If all of this was Gu Yue's acting, Gu Jiu would sigh in admiration, it's amazing.
Gu Yue is really amazing.
It's a great skill to be able to play tricks as if they were real.
Gu Jiu nodded slightly, and agreed, "Third sister, don't worry too much, my wife is thinking of you. I'll go over and have a look. If there is any news, I will send someone to inform third sister."
"Thank you, Second Sister. I was ignorant in the past, and I was disrespectful to Second Sister. Please forgive me."
Gu Jiu said, "My sister, you're welcome."
After leaving the mourning hall, Gu Jiu's expression changed, and his brows were tightly frowned.
She looked back at Gu Yue, crying so sadly.
How much training will it take to perform the play to this level.
If all of this was Gu Yue acting, then there must be something strange about Zhao Erlang's death.
However, Gu Jiu did not intend to pursue the truth.
When she came to the flower hall, Mrs. Xie was angrily negotiating with Mrs. Haixibo.
When Mrs. Xie saw Gu Jiu, it was like seeing a savior, "Second Aunt, Grandma, you've come. Tell Mrs. Uncle well, Gu Yue is so young, how can he guard a dead person for a lifetime."
Gu Jiu took a step forward and said, "Madam's condolences."
Mrs. Haisiebo's eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously been crying for a long time.
She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Madam Zhao is interested, please sit down."
Gu Jiu sat down on the chair.
Mrs. Hai Xibo said: "My wife knows that you all love Erlang's wife, don't I feel sorry for you? But in our Zhao family, there is no remarried woman, and the daughter-in-law is no good, and the daughter-in-law is even worse. At the beginning, my wife clarified this point. .”
Xie was annoyed, "Yue'er has no children, and is young, and was often tortured by your mother and son in the past, why should she guard Zhao Erlang for the rest of her life. I will leave the words here today, and I will send someone over tomorrow. Move the dowry and take Yue'er home. In the future, marriage and marriage will have nothing to do with each other."
Mrs. Haisiebo said angrily: "Don't think about it!"
Gu Jiu stopped Mrs. Xie, and said, "Mrs. Uncle, my third younger sister has no children, so you want her to guard her forever, isn't it too much to force others to do?"
Mrs. Haisiebo said: "The child's affairs are easy to handle. I have arranged everything, and let her adopt one directly."
"Can adoptives have the filial piety of their own? Absurd!" Mrs. Xie was full of anger.
Gu Shan sat on the side with a gloomy face.
It's Gu Yue again, why is it Gu Yue every time
Why do you want to stand up for Gu Yue
Wouldn't it be nice to let Gu Yue guard Zhao Erlang for the rest of his life? Why did you take Gu Yue home
Mrs. Haisiebo said of course: "Adopted children are raised as their own, and when they are old, the children will be filial."
Xie yelled angrily, "Absurd!"
Gu Jiu said: "We should listen to the third sister's opinion on this matter."
Mrs. Hai Xibo said forcefully: "Our Zhao family has absolutely no remarried daughter-in-law, and we will die in the Zhao family."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "I wonder if it's the Earl's Mansion's rules or the court's laws? Madam, don't forget that the court encourages widows to remarry."
There are wars at the border every year, and the imperial court needs population and taxes.
How did the population come about? Naturally, it depends on husband and wife to give birth.
For the sake of population and taxes, Da Zhou has been encouraging widows to remarry since the founding of the country.
Mrs. Hai Xibo was stunned for a moment, and then said forcefully: "This is a family matter of the Earl's Mansion. Even if it is the court law, it can't be controlled."
Gu Jiu slowly shook her head, "If the wife goes to the yamen to sue your Earl's Mansion for forcing the widow to keep virginity, Madam, do you think the law will be able to control the family affairs of the Earl's Mansion?"
Mrs. Hai Xibo suddenly looked at Mrs. Xie.
Xie immediately became full of confidence, "Don't let Yue'er go back to her mother's house, otherwise I will go to the Yamen to sue you Earl's Mansion tomorrow."
Mrs. Haisib was furious, "Don't deceive people too much."
Mrs. Xie pointed at the other party, "You guys are deceiving people too much. Since my Yue'er married into your Earl's Mansion, tell me, how many times have you been beaten? For the sake of your in-laws, I didn't care about it with you. In the end, you still Pushing her nose and face, and forcing her to guard Zhao Erlang for the rest of her life. Pooh! Zhao Erlang has a broken sleeve, is he worthy?"
"Stop counting nonsense."
Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Haixibo, you come and go, no one will obey the other. It was so noisy.
Gu Jiu saw Putao looking outside the door, and beckoned her to come in.
Putao hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran.
Gu Jiu made a look, and Wang Yi chased after him.
Taking advantage of the fierce quarrel between the two, Gu Jiu simply walked out of the flower hall without paying attention to him.
Putao was blocked by Wang Yi, very anxious.
Seeing Gu Jiu, he immediately felt guilty, "My servant pays homage to Mrs. Zhao."
"Who sent you here?"
"It's my young mistress. The young mistress ordered the slaves to come over and take a look. What's the situation now?"
Gu Jiu tentatively asked, "Didn't Mr. Zhao be rescued? Why did he suddenly die again?"
Putao lowered her head, "I don't know."
"You are serving by the third sister, can you not understand?"
Putao nodded again and again, "I really don't know. I just heard from the imperial doctor that the Second Young Master's condition is very serious."
"Oh?"
Gu Jiu stepped forward, came to Putao, and asked in a very low voice: "Zhao Erlang is dead, third sister is happy?"
Putao's face turned pale in an instant, and she trembled all over, "The servant has to go back and return, so I will leave first."
This time, Gu Jiu didn't stop Putao.
Judging from Putao's reaction, her guess was correct, Gu Yue was indeed full of bad water.
Zhao Erlang's death was obviously not that simple.
