Even though Liu Zhao issued a gag order in the East Courtyard, the rumors and rumors outside still reached Gu Jiu's ears to some extent.
Gu Jiu is not an idiot.
She has been imprisoned for such a long time, and there is only a green plum by her side, trying to figure out what others will say about her with her toes.
But she doesn't care.
This bit of lethality is much smaller than the overwhelming battles of hacking one person all over the Internet in modern society.
Although Gu Jiu had never experienced online hacking in his previous life, he had seen it anyway.
Now that I have seen it, I am a little prepared in my heart.
She smiled and said to Liu Zhao: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
How could Liu Zhao not be worried.
In his eyes, Gu Jiu was clearly pretending to be strong, just to keep him from worrying.
He held her hand, "Hurry up! Soon I will be able to find out who is behind the scenes."
"Have you found a clue?"
Liu Zhao nodded.
Gu Jiu laughed, "When arresting someone, remember to vent your anger on my behalf."
"I must vent my anger on you."
Brother Yu fell asleep.
After putting Brother Yu on the bed, Liu Zhao was ready to go out.
If you can't catch Zhou Jin, then catch the people behind Zhou Jin.
This series of things cannot be done by Zhou Jin alone.
Moreover, Zhou Jin also admitted in front of Gu Jiu that he cooperated with others.
This other person is worth pondering.
Liu Zhao took people out and ran into Chunhetang's mother-in-law.
He stared, with a fierce expression, "What are you doing?"
The mother-in-law had never seen Liu Zhao's murderous look, she was taken aback immediately, and said tremblingly: "Wangfei asked Da Furen to go over and talk."
"What are you talking about?"
"Slave, servant doesn't know."
"Go back and tell the princess that the eldest lady is not available."
The mother-in-law is going to cry.
Liu Zhao was worried, and said: "For the next month, Da Furen will not be free. I will not accept any rebuttals. Tell the princess what I said truthfully. If the princess is dissatisfied, let her come to me."
Liu Zhao also ordered the porter to guard the door and not allow anyone unrelated to enter or leave the East Courtyard, and then he took them away.
Threatened by Liu Zhao, the mother-in-law turned her ass off, went back to Chunhetang, and repeated Liu Zhao's words to Princess Pei without any changes.
Pei fell back angrily.
"It's about this time, what does Liu Zhao want to do? Protecting Gu Jiu, what good will it do him?"
"Mother and concubine calm down. The daughter-in-law thinks that since the eldest son trusts the elder sister-in-law, this matter should not be investigated." Ouyang Fu whispered.
Pei's eyes widened, and he was very irritable, "What do you mean not to pursue it? Do you want the face of the palace? Do you want the face of the princess?"
Xiao Qin'er echoed, "Mother Concubine is right. For the face of the palace, I should also invite my sister-in-law to come out and give everyone an explanation."
Ouyang Fu frowned, "How do you explain this kind of thing? Qingmei, the maid beside sister-in-law, has been with sister-in-law all the time, saying that nothing happened. The purpose of the person who tied her up was to restrain the eldest son. So many days have passed , Do you believe it? I understand it, no matter what my sister-in-law explains, those who don’t believe it will never believe it.”
"Second sister-in-law, is there a problem with your position? Are you blaming me, or the concubine mother?"
Xiao Qin'er misfortune was diverted eastward.
Ouyang Fu looked at the irritable Pei, and said frankly: "I'm just saying what I believe, and I didn't accuse anyone. The concubine is also thinking of the palace.
It's just that I think our royal family's support for my sister-in-law is obvious, so the rumors and rumors outside will naturally be self-defeating.
If our palace's attitude is always vague, it will only encourage rumors to spread. On the contrary, it is not good for the reputation of the palace. "
Xiao Qin'er sneered, "I really can't see that the second sister-in-law is so protective of the elder sister-in-law. What kind of ecstasy did the elder sister-in-law give you to make you speak for her so sparingly?"
Ouyang Fu snorted, "I'm just speaking from my conscience, the fourth siblings shouldn't think so darkly about everything."
Xiao Qin'er sneered, "I don't know how good the second sister-in-law's conscience is. You have such a conscience, why do you still treat the concubine in your yard harshly?"
Ouyang Fu's complexion changed instantly, "One size counts for one size, the fourth sibling should pay attention to what they say."
Xiao Qin'er smiled contemptuously, "Sure enough, hypocrisy."
"Who are you calling hypocritical?" Ouyang Fu was not at all afraid of Xiao Qin'er, "You have the guts to say it again."
"What's the matter, is the second sister-in-law going to beat someone? You dare to do it in front of the concubine mother. Do you take the concubine mother seriously?"
Ouyang Fu sneered, "In front of my concubine, you dare to talk nonsense. Why are there so many gossip outside? It's because there are people like you who are afraid of chaos. You are the scourge."
"Who are you scolding for harm?" Xiao Qin'er was angry.
"That's enough, let me say a few words to my princess."
Pei sternly scolded.
Seeing that the two daughters-in-law were at war, but Gu Jiu who provoked the trouble hid in the east courtyard and did not go out, Pei's heart was extremely annoyed.
"Both of you step back, don't be an eyesore in front of this princess. Come here, and then go to the East Courtyard to ask the eldest lady. Tell her, if she doesn't come, this princess will go to the East Courtyard to meet her in person. I don't believe it. The princess is blocking the door."
It was quite embarrassing for Xiao Qin'er to be scolded by Mrs. Pei at first. When she heard that Mrs. Pei forced Gu Jiu to show up, she became happy again.
She said: "Mother and concubine went to see my sister-in-law in person. If she still dares to close the door, she is not filial. If she is not chaste and filial, she should be divorced."
Ouyang Fu sneered, "If sister-in-law is divorced, will the fourth siblings have a lot of face? Going out, even if people will laugh at sister-in-law, you will inevitably be laughed at."
"That's enough, you two have to get out and fight." Pei was very impatient.
Xiao Qin'er suppressed her anger, bowed to leave, and left Chunhe Hall first.
She was waiting for Ouyang Fu at the gate of Chunhe Hall.
Seeing Ouyang Fu come out, she laughed mockingly, "Second sister-in-law spared no effort to speak up for sister-in-law, does sister-in-law know? Don't let the bamboo basket fetch water in the end, and she won't accept your favor at all."
Ouyang Fu sneered, "I do things according to my conscience, and I don't need my sister-in-law to appreciate you. But you, the fourth sibling, spare no effort to slander your sister-in-law. What good do you have? I remember you invested money with your sister-in-law. If your sister-in-law is unlucky, your money will be worthless." It was a waste of time."
Xiao Qin'er didn't care, "Money is money, and reputation is reputation. These are two different things. I'm not like my second sister-in-law, who doesn't even want fame for money, and opens her mouth to talk nonsense."
"I'll return this to you intact, and those who open their mouths to tell lies must die a terrible death."
"You don't deserve to die."
Xiao Qin'er was furious.
Ouyang Fu didn't bother with her, and left with someone.
After returning to the room, the confidant servant girl asked Ouyang Fu with a troubled face, "Why did Madam help Da Furen? Madam doesn't want to add insult to injury, so she can keep silent. Standing up to defend Da Furen like this, the princess should blame Madam for being ignorant."
Ouyang Fu smiled softly, "I used to be too knowledgeable. It's good to be unaware once in a while."
The servant girl stomped her feet anxiously, "Madam, aren't you worried?"
Ouyang Fu asked back, "What are you worried about? Do you think the prince will ascend the throne?"
The maid was stunned, "Slave, I don't know."
Ouyang Fu asked again: "Have you ever thought about what will happen to the people in the entire palace if the prince ascends the throne?"
"Ma'am, what do you mean?"
"Gong Zizhao is the eldest son. Once King Ning ascends to the throne, he will be the eldest son. He has an extraordinary status. I am speaking for my sister-in-law now, just to make a good relationship in advance and sell it well."
"But what if the prince fails to ascend the throne?"
Ouyang Fu smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't ascend to the throne. Do you really think that with the ability of the eldest lady, this little gossip can defeat her? I bet that the eldest lady will definitely go to see the princess and be able to persuade the princess to stand on the throne." her side."
The servant girl couldn't believe it, "Madam is so powerful?"
Ouyang Fu laughed, "She is just so powerful. I made friends with her and stood up for her. She is thinking about her old love, and she will naturally repay me in the future."
The maid was persuaded by Ouyang Fu, "Madam is wise."
Ouyang Fu raised her eyebrows and smiled, but there was some sadness in her eyes, "For the sake of the child, I have to make more good friends."
…
Chunhetang sent people to the east courtyard again.
This time without Liu Zhao's obstruction, the news was sent to Gu Jiu.
Qingmei was a little annoyed, "Wangfei called Madam over at this time, it must be for the purpose of incriminating. Madam listens to the young master, so there is no need to go to Chunhe Hall."
Mother Fang also said: "Madam don't need to worry about things like rumors, the most important thing is to live your life with peace of mind."
Qingmei said again: "Anyway, the young master has already spoken, and the madam will not be free for the next month. If the madam doesn't go to the Chunhe Hall, the slaves don't believe that the princess can really push the east courtyard to talk to the madam?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Don't doubt the concubine's temper, she might really rush to the east courtyard and grab me to talk. Don't worry, I don't take mere rumors to heart. I don't care what people outside talk about. But in the palace, I think I have to come forward to restrain everyone's words and deeds. Otherwise, other people will think I have a guilty conscience."
"Has Madam decided? Are you really going to see the princess?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Of course I'm going to see you. The son is thinking of me, and I'm very grateful to decline the princess. But running away is definitely not the solution to the problem. I can ignore the people outside, but I can't ignore the people in the palace."
Liu Zhao was worried that she would be hurt, so he made the decision for her and refused all meetings.
Gu Jiu understood and was very grateful.
But it doesn't fit her style of doing things.
She likes to be crisp, not procrastinated.
If you have something to say, let's spread it out and say it clearly, instead of engaging in a tug-of-war.
She is very busy and doesn't have that much time to play this kind of game with everyone.
"Qingmei, wait for me to change clothes, I'm going to Chunhe Hall to meet the princess."
Gu Jiu has made up her mind, no one can persuade her.
Qingmei could only obey orders, "The slave girl accompanied Madam over there, and called Wang Yi along. If Wang Yi was there when the accident happened, Madam might be able to get away smoothly from the beginning."
dream!
Gu Jiu did not expose Qingmei's beautiful fantasy.
Even with Wang Yi around, it's hard to get out with two fists and four hands.
Although she didn't see Zhou Jin's arrangement with her own eyes, she knew that there were at least twenty guards guarding her in that house at that time.
All of them are armed.
Wang Yi was very strong, but he couldn't defeat twenty strong and powerful guards.
Once Wang Yi fails, the twenty guards may become forty.
