"Being greedy for disaster relief food from the Mo household department is no small matter. As the servant of the household department, my lord has the responsibility to check all kinds of documents from time to time, and sometimes go to the granary to reconcile accounts."
After Gu Yu finished speaking, he fell silent.
Gu Jiu understood, "You mean, it's not that my father didn't know that there were people greedy for ink, but he didn't investigate the matter thoroughly for some reason?"
Gu Yu said: "I don't know what my lord thinks. The accounts submitted by some people are not right with a clear eye. But my lord always let it go lightly."
Gu Jiu asked: "Did my father keep a house outside?"
"I've never heard of a breeding room."
"Does my father have extra huge expenses?"
"You have to ask Master Ma to find out about this."
"Can the people in Dali Temple find out the problems you can see?"
"As long as the people in Dali Temple carefully examine it, they will definitely find clues."
It seems that Dali Temple did not wrong Mr. Gu by arresting people.
But Mr. Gu was exonerated.
He has nothing to do with the ink corruption case, he is innocent. At best it was a crime of oversight.
Then he was transferred from the household department and went to work in Taichang Temple.
Why did Dali Temple let Mr. Gu go
Naturally, because of the words of the emperor Jinkou, Dali Temple can only obey orders.
Why did the Son of Heaven stand up for Mr. Gu and cover up the truth.
Because Mr. Gu made a deal with the Son of Heaven.
The price is Mr. Gu's life.
It all made sense.
Mr. Gu went to the palace, and then Master Gu was released.
As soon as Mr. Gu settled down here, Mr. Gu rushed to commit suicide before the Chinese New Year, and arranged all the funeral affairs.
Gu Jiu gritted his teeth.
Mr. Gu exchanged his life for Mr. Gu's future.
However, everyone was kept in the dark.
In the eyes of the world, Mr. Gu is still that ridiculous old bastard.
Gu Jiu felt worthless for Mr. Gu.
"Sister Jiu, what's the matter with you?"
Gu Jiu's face was as pale as snow, and Gu Yu was very worried.
Gu Jiu shook her head, "I'm fine. Where is my father now?"
"Receive guests in the study in the outer courtyard."
hehe!
"He will seize the opportunity. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the funeral, he will make contacts everywhere. Could it be that he wants to be transferred from Taichang Temple?"
Gu Yu didn't deny it, "My lord naturally wants to be transferred from Taichang Temple."
"But don't forget that when the old man passed away, he had to keep his filial piety."
"My lord is thinking about two years later."
Gu Jiu suddenly wanted to curse shamelessly, but couldn't.
Gu's sacrifice was just her guess.
Everyone was kept in the dark.
She felt worthless for the old man.
Really not worth it.
However, Mr. Gu's wish was to keep Mr. Gu safe and have a smooth life, so he sacrificed himself willingly.
If she ran to expose the truth, wouldn't it be a violation of Mr. Gu's last wish.
Gu Jiu was very confused.
She didn't know how to choose for a while.
It wasn't until Mrs. Xie brought Gu Shan to talk to her that she came to her senses.
"How is your wife?"
Gu Jiuke was polite, there was only a little face left between her and Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie first sighed, "Accidents happen one after another in the mansion, I'm no good. Fortunately, the old man is still thinking about Shan'er's marriage, and he promised her to marry with filial piety, so as not to delay her youth."
Gu Shan felt a little uncomfortable.
When Rexiao gets married, it is bound to be a small affair, not a grand marriage.
However, compared to marrying after a few years of filial piety, Gu Shan is still willing to choose to marry with filial piety.
Gu Jiu doesn't blame others.
Mr. Gu has a bad reputation, and it would be polite to say that he is old and not a cultivator.
No one is willing to know what kind of person Mr. Gu is.
No one is sad about his death, so who can be blamed
No one can blame it.
At this time, everyone was thinking about their own calculations, no one was sincerely sad for the old man, Gu Jiu could only sigh.
There's really very little she can do.
Looking at the old man's suicide note, he didn't feel sorry for his bad reputation and leaving behind his infamy. On the contrary, it was quite embarrassing.
Mr. Gu is just so weird.
He scolded his children and grandchildren in the suicide note, calling them bastards, bastards, idiots...
No wonder everyone is not sad.
People are always willing to hear nice words.
Gu Jiu lowered her head and laughed at herself.
That's all, that's all, she respects Mr. Gu's choice.
At this moment, Gu Jiu suddenly figured it out and knew what choice to make.
Mrs. Xie nagged in her ear, "The old man left a suicide note, which is in the hands of the eldest. The old man said in the suicide note that after the hot filial piety, the first and second families will be separated.
The family is not separated, and after the filial piety, they will live in separate houses. I am happy to split the family, I have had enough of being idle all day long.
But the terrible thing is that our second room has no idea how much property our Gu family has. When the time comes to divide the family, Dafang will be greedy for three or five shops, which will be a lot of money. Who knows if your eldest aunt has secretly turned the public property into her dowry over the years. "
The Xie family is typical of a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "I can trust the character of my aunt and uncle. And with the help of the Hou's mansion, I don't think the big house will be greedy for Mo Gongzhong's property. Also, the old man's suicide note has been mentioned, wait for it Rexiao will separate again. There are still several months before Rexiao, so why worry about my wife. It won't be too late to discuss this matter when the family is separated."
"Why don't you worry? It's about the interests of our second wife. The second aunt really doesn't care about it? Sanlang hasn't married yet, and he has to rely on the public property to buy the bride price and hold the banquet. If the division of the family is unfair, won't it affect Sanlang? The marriage. Is the second aunt willing to let Saburo suffer?"
Mrs. Xie is also smart, and knows how to speak out with Gu Ting.
Gu Jiu doesn't need to care about the Gu family, but she has to care about Gu Ting's future.
But Gu Jiu refused to open eyes for Mrs. Xie, "Ma'am, what do you do with these things? The division of the family is handled by the men. If the wife is really worried that the big house is greedy, you can go to the master and take your money." Tell the master with all your passion and worry, and let the master find his uncle to tear him apart."
When Xie Shi heard this, he immediately faltered.
"Your father is very busy these days, how can he have time to take care of these things?"
Xie was also wronged.
Gu Jiu snorted, "Could it be that I'm idle? Ma'am, don't forget, I'm a married woman, and the Gu family is separated. I can be a witness and give an opinion, but I can't directly intervene in the separation. Or Madam wants me to intervene in the separation of the family?"
Xie Shi looked confused.
She hoped that Gu Jiu would intervene in this matter, but she didn't want Gu Jiu to intervene in this matter, so she was very conflicted.
Gu Jiu smiled knowingly, "Since Madam has an idea in her mind, she can do it by herself and don't need to drag me. It's the fourth sister's marriage that needs to be paid close attention.
First, discuss with Zhu Guogong's mansion to see when the wedding date will be set. Let me know when the date is fixed, and I will add makeup to the fourth sister. "
"Thank you, Second Sister." Gu Shan became happy again.
Xie said: "The master will send someone to take care of this matter."
Gu Jiu reminded: "Hurry up and get things done with the fourth younger sister. If you are devoted to filial piety for a hundred days, you won't wait for anyone."
Gu Shan suddenly became nervous.
Mrs. Xie nodded repeatedly, she must care about this matter.
"One more thing, I want to go to the second aunt."
"What else is there?"
Mrs. Xie was a little at a loss, "The second aunt heard about Yue'er being assassinated and injured by Xie Shi."
"Of course I've heard about such a big event. The third sister has a terrible life, and she was rescued."
Mrs. Xie began to wipe her tears, "Some time ago, I went to see her in the Prince of Chu's mansion. It's a pity to see her. She brought her children and maidservants, and lived in such a small courtyard, not half the size of her boudoir. It was difficult to turn around. She suffered so much. The injury, the prince didn't even look at her, he is so cruel."
"Mother, don't cry. If you have something to say, don't waste the time of the second sister." Gu Shan couldn't listen anymore, and reminded Xie to be serious.
Gu Shan was happy to hear that Gu Yue was injured.
That vicious woman is still alive today, which is really a joy.
Mrs. Xie wiped away her tears, "I don't dare to ask too much. Can Second Aunt Grandma send someone from the palace to visit Yue'er in Chu Palace, so as to support her anyway. Let everyone in Chu Palace know that she has her natal family." .Those servants are used to praising the high and depressing the low. The second aunt sent someone there, and the servants will not dare to wrong her."
Gu Jiu was in a complicated mood, "My wife is really kind to my third sister."
"I only have two daughters, I don't love her or anyone else." Xie said naturally.
Gu Jiu reminded: "There are many rumors about the third sister being stabbed by guard Xie. I don't know if my wife has heard about it?"
"What rumor?"
Xie's expression was bewildered, obviously he didn't know.
Thinking about it, too, there are a lot of things going on in Gu's residence recently, how could Mrs. Xie have the time to pay attention to the outside world.
Gu Jiu said: "The guard Xie stabbed the third sister, because they are cousins, and there were a lot of ugly things outside. It was said that the two had an affair, and the guard thanked him because of love. He also said that the third sister had a cuckold for the King of Chu. Recently, the king of Chu always has a gloomy face when he goes out."
"Ah?" Mrs. Xie was shocked at first, and then burst into tears, "Which ruthless person made up nonsense to hurt Yue'er. They said things that had no shadows in a formal way. Is this trying to force people to death? Xie Shi is a disaster, he It’s not worth stabbing Yue’er, but also hurting Yue’er’s reputation, what should I do? The king of Chu must have refused to enter Yue’er’s room because of this matter. Second aunt, you have to help her A bunch!"
Gu Shan muttered softly, "Maybe Third Sister is really ambiguous with Cousin Xie. In the past, the two of them..."
Snapped!
Xie Shi slapped Gu Shan hard on the face.
Gu Shan was stunned.
Pointing at her, Mrs. Xie scolded, "Do you have a conscience? Do you have a conscience? Yue'er is your own sister. If something happened to her, you didn't defend her but followed others to spread rumors about her. Could it be that your heart is black. Her reputation is bad, can you be innocent as her sister?"
Gu Shan was so wronged that she burst into tears, "I just said a few words casually, and my mother yelled at me. In the eyes of my mother, I am not as good as Gu Yue's finger."
"Of course you can't compare to one of her fingers. You debt collector, I will kill you today."
Gu Jiu hurriedly ordered someone to pull Xie away, and coaxed Gu Shan away.
Gu Jiu said to Mrs. Xie, "Madam is really biased. I don't dare touch your precious Yue'er. Madam can figure out a way for herself."
