Little servant Li Chuan knelt in the study of the outer courtyard, trembling.
Mr. Gu sat upright on the chair, with a gloomy expression, dripping water.
"You said just now that Xie Xian was stabbed by the second girl because of his intentions against the second girl?"
"Exactly! I don't dare to say a single lie."
Master Gu gritted his teeth, and angrily reprimanded, "Xie Xian is so courageous, he dared to use indiscriminate means to deal with my daughter. It's really easy to bully me."
Li Chuan hurriedly said: "Fortunately, the second girl was not wronged. It's just that the third young master cut Xie Xian a few more times in anger. Although he didn't die, he was seriously injured.
The second girl said that if the Xie family wanted to investigate the responsibility, she would bear it all by herself. The third young master must not be implicated. "
Master Gu scolded angrily, "Presumptuous! Can't I even protect my own daughter? Who gave the Xie family the guts to come to the door and investigate the responsibility. This time, the official died and the Xie family was punished. They really acted like an official to bully .”
Li Chuan kowtowed, "Master please make the decision for the second girl and the third young master."
Master Gu kept a straight face, with anger rising to the top of his head, "You said just now that Xie Xian's servant was detained. Only Xie Xian was thrown in front of Xie's house?"
Li Chuan nodded, "Exactly!"
"Where are those boys?"
"It's locked in the ruined temple at Wuliting outside the city."
Master Gu snorted coldly, and said to the housekeeper, Gu Quan: "You take people with you and throw all those boys into the prison, where they will be tortured and served. Be sure to let them explain the matter clearly."
"Little one obeys."
Master Gu reminded: "Be careful to hide the content about the second girl and the third young master."
Gu Quan thought for a while, and suggested: "It's better to label them as thieves. Let's say that Xie Xian sent a servant to Tianmen Temple with the intention of stealing Buddhist treasures."
Mr. Gu nodded, "That's great! I'll leave this matter to you. In addition, tell the concierge not to allow anyone from Xie's family to come in or out."
"Yes!" Gu Quan bowed out of the study with a look of cruelty in his eyes.
Master Gu said to Li Chuan: "Go back to Tianmen Temple and tell the second girl and the third young master not to go back to the mansion for the time being, but to stay in the temple for a few more days.
In addition, I will send ten more guards to ensure the safety of the second girl and the third young master. "
"Little one obeys."
Master Gu waved his hand, and Li Chuan hurriedly exited the study.
Mr. Gu didn't let go of his anger, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
The Xie family is really deceiving people too much, the marriage failed, and they even tried to achieve their goals by using indiscriminate means.
Such humiliation, if you don't reciprocate one or two, wouldn't it be worse in the future, riding on his head and running wild.
Gu Yu stood at the door, "My lord, a letter from the capital."
Mr. Gu calmed down his emotions, his expression eased, and he said, "Is it Gu Yu? Come in."
Gu Yu took the letter from the capital and walked into the study.
Master Gu asked, "But a letter from the Hou Mansion?"
Gu Yu nodded, "Exactly."
Mr. Gu took the letter, tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper and read it carefully.
Looking at it, the brows could not help but wrinkle.
No wonder Master Xie Er is so arrogant and dares to stir up wind and rain in Jinzhou. It turned out that Xie Mao was behind him.
Xie Mao, the crown prince, the Eastern Palace... Do you really think he is a chess piece in the Eastern Palace
Xie Maoshuzi is too deceitful.
Mr. Gu was furious, and he had already dismantled Xie Mao and Mr. Xie Er in his heart.
He shouted: "Gu Yu!"
"My nephew is here. Does your lord have any orders?"
Mr. Gu said sharply, "Take this official's letter, and immediately lead people to seal up all the Xie family's business in Jinzhou. In addition, send someone to invite Mr. Xie to the Yamen, and I will invite him to drink tea."
Gu Yu didn't ask the reason, but bowed in response, "Yes, my nephew will do it now."
The more Mr. Gu thought about it, the angrier he became. Xie Jiadang what is he? piece? Pawn? Stepping stone
Doing whatever he wants in his land, he really treats him as a dead man.
I have been an official for more than ten years, and I have never met such a brazen person, it is really deceiving.
"Come on!"
The servant walked into the study in response, "What is the master's order?"
Master Gu had a gloomy face, "Tell Madam, I'm going to the upper room for dinner at noon, and let her prepare a table of wine and food."
"yes!"
Mrs. Xie was very happy to learn that Master Gu was going to the upper room for dinner.
She excitedly drew up the menu and handed it to the maid Dongmei, "Tell the kitchen, these are for the master to eat, so they must prepare them carefully."
"yes!"
Dongmei took the menu and went to the kitchen.
Mrs. Xie leaned on the couch with a contented face, Gu Jiu and Gu Ting were not in the mansion, and life was really much more comfortable.
She took a sip of the health-preserving soup and asked Chunhe, "Is there any news from my uncle?"
Chunhe shook his head, "There is no news yet. Why don't you go to the concierge and ask."
Mrs. Xie waved her hand, "It's still early, and Xie Xian probably hasn't come back yet."
Speaking of this, Xie's expression was a little smug.
No matter how clever Gu Jiu is, it's hard to escape her clutches this time.
…
At noon, Mrs. Xie prepared a table of food and wine, and drank with Master Gu.
Mr. Gu sat on the upper seat, with a straight face, not arrogant.
Mrs. Xie smiled softly, and personally poured wine for Mr. Gu, "Master, has something bothered you?"
Mr. Gu looked towards Mrs. Xie, and said expressionlessly: "I have indeed encountered some troubles. Some flies are buzzing around my ears all day long, and I can't kill them no matter how hard I beat them."
Xie covered her mouth and smiled, "Master is really good at joking. Why don't I make a fly swatter for Master, which will surely kill the flies."
Master Gu smiled meaningfully, "Madam has a heart."
As he spoke, he lifted the wine glass to his mouth and took a sip.
"Master, this is your favorite lotus leaf chicken. I specially asked the kitchen to make it."
Master Gu waved his hand to stop Mrs. Xie.
Xie looked at him suspiciously.
Master Gu stared at Mrs. Xie, "Madam, are you particularly satisfied with Xie Xian?"
Xie's heart felt guilty, his eyes drifted, "Why did the master suddenly mention Xie Xian?"
Mr. Gu said expressionlessly: "Because the madam wants to betroth the second girl to Xie Xian with all her heart, she naturally wants to ask about it as a husband."
"Why would the master think so? Ever since the incident of Xie Xian's overnight stay, my concubine has already given up on this marriage."
Master Gu stared at Mrs. Xie with complicated eyes, "Really?"
Mrs. Xie nodded, "I dare not lie to Master."
Master Gu smiled, but the smile never reached his eyes.
"I hope Madam didn't lie to me."
Mrs. Xie felt uneasy, and her expression was a little unnatural, "Master, you are overthinking. How could my concubine lie to you."
Mrs. Gu nodded, "So, no matter what happens in the future, Madam will never bring up the matter of thanking the Gu family for getting married."
Xie's heart was flustered, this, this made her answer the words.
The second brother is still waiting for her to work hard to facilitate the marriage between Xie Xian and Gu Jiu.
At this moment, if she agreed to the master, how should she speak next time.
Mrs. Xie said cautiously: "Master, there are exceptions to everything. Maybe the children's destiny has come. As parents, shouldn't we also think about our children?"
Mrs. Gu sneered, "My daughter, how could she fall in love with a prodigal like Xie Xian? Although the second girl is in poor health, it's not that a bastard like Xie Xian can climb high. All in all, the marriage between Xie and Gu's two families Madam, don’t bring it up again. Whoever dares to mention it again, don’t blame me for not remembering the old friendship.”
The words were murderous.
Xie's heart trembled, his eyes panicked, and his face turned pale. He opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Master Gu stared at her, "From now on, madam should not get involved in the Xie family's business. The Gu family is not short of that little money."
Mrs. Xie turned pale with shock, "Master, why is this?"
It's okay not to get married.
But even the business is not allowed to participate, this is too sudden. There must be a reason.
Master Gu said to Mrs. Xie with a stern face and in an unprecedentedly severe tone: "There is no reason. In short, my husband will not allow you to participate in the business of Xie's family, do you hear me?"
"Listen, I heard it."
Xie Shi responded weakly. My heart was full of doubts and worries.
