Gu Jiu brought Qingmei to the study in the outer courtyard.
Gu Quan greeted him from the study, "Second Miss is here. The master is already waiting inside, Second Miss can go in directly."
Gu Jiu looked up at the butler Gu Quan, "Butler, how is father these days? Is the yamen busy?"
The corner of Gu Quan's mouth was pulled upwards slightly, as if he wanted to smile, but he failed to reveal a smile. On the contrary, it seemed a little stiff.
He said: "The master is busy with business, so the second girl should not waste the master's time, go in quickly."
Gu Jiu smiled and nodded, "Thank you butler for reminding me, then I'll go in."
Qing Mei wanted to follow her in, but was stopped by Gu Quan.
Qingmei was a little worried, Gu Jiu shook her head slightly at her, "You just wait here."
Qingmei nodded, "Your servant obeys."
Gu Jiu walked into the study room alone.
The study is very large, and the three houses are all connected.
The east side is the office and the real study.
The west side is used for rest, with beds, clothes and hats, everything is available.
The middle room is for receiving guests.
Mr. Gu is writing hard on the east side.
Hearing the movement, he didn't raise his head, but said, "Is Xiao Jiu here? Sit down."
Gu Jiu walked into the east room, looked at the layout of the study, then sat on the chair and waited quietly.
Master Gu finally finished writing the letter, dried it, put it in an envelope, and pressed it in the book.
Gu Jiu secretly glanced at Mr. Gu, but there was no sign of anger.
Gu Jiu pondered in his heart, if Mr. Gu knew that Mrs. Xie had prescribed medicine to Pei Yun, would he not be angry
Or, she was wrong.
Mr. Gu asked her to come because of other things.
Gu Jiu was guessing wildly when Master Gu spoke.
"How's your body?"
"Father is tired of worrying, but my daughter's health has improved a lot." Gu Jiu bowed slightly.
Master Gu stared at Gu Jiu, "About the banquet at the General's Mansion a few days ago, do you have anything else to say?"
coming!
It seems that her judgment was not wrong.
Gu Jiu calmed down and said, "My daughter doesn't understand what aspect father is referring to."
Mr. Gu said with a normal expression: "Anything is fine."
Gu Jiu thought about it, "Daughter is very sorry, it's rare to attend a banquet, but I didn't make a friend or two."
"that's it?"
Gu Jiu nodded slightly.
Master Gu asked indifferently: "Did Gu Yue really push you?"
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, and regained her composure in a blink of an eye.
She nodded, "Pushed. But the force was not great. It was only because my daughter was standing by the pond and the rocks under her feet were loose that she fell into the water."
Master Gu raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Gu Jiu to be so honest.
Master Gu asked: "Are you admitting that you intend to use Gu Yue?"
Gu Jiu faced Master Gu's gaze calmly, and said, "Yes, my daughter does intend to use Third Sister."
Master Gu frowned, he didn't expect Gu Jiu to admit it so straightforwardly.
"Xiao Jiu, you should know that as a father, you will never allow your sisters to kill each other."
Gu Jiu didn't hesitate at all, "My daughter understands. But my daughter didn't hurt my third sister, she hurt me."
Master Gu frowned tightly, with a Sichuan-shaped eyebrow that could pinch a fly to death.
Gu Jiu continued: "My daughter did this for the sole purpose of letting father know the truth.
Last year, my daughter fell into the water and walked through the gate of hell. This matter has been unclear.
The daughter is not reconciled. Therefore, he dared to plot against the third sister. But the third sister was not wronged. It was indeed her fault that her daughter fell into the water last year. "
Master Gu stared at Gu Jiu, "Why do you say this? Are you afraid of being angry for your father and severely punishing you?"
Gu Jiu met Master Gu's gaze, "Of course my daughter is afraid. But my daughter is willing to take a gamble."
"What bet?"
"Gambling father has a loving father's heart."
"Ha ha… "
Master Gu laughed loudly, "Xiao Jiu, you are not telling the truth."
Gu Jiu smiled embarrassedly, lowered her head and said, "Father, as a parent officer, has a keen eye for every detail and has solved countless cases. My daughter doesn't think that lying in front of her father can get her away. Therefore, my daughter can only be bold and honest. Please punish me."
Master Gu laughed, "I won't punish you as a father."
Gu Jiu showed joy, "Thank you, father."
Mr. Gu continued: "I am very satisfied with your frankness. If everyone is like you, don't pretend to be smart in front of the official, and the troubles will be reduced by half. However, the most indispensable thing in this world is people who think they are smart."
Gu Jiu blinked, Master Gu's words seemed to mean something. Who committed the crime in Mr. Gu's hands
Master Gu took a sip of tea, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he stabbed at Gu Jiu directly.
Gu Jiu faced it calmly.
Mr. Gu nodded secretly, Xiao Jiu is good, courageous and resourceful, and worth cultivating. The only shortcoming is that Xiao Jiu's body is too weak.
"Recently, Gu Quan heard a rumor. This rumor is related to his wife and Lu Hou. What do you want to say about this matter?"
Gu Jiu spoke nonsense seriously, "My daughter doesn't understand."
Mr. Gu was expressionless, "You really don't understand?"
Gu Jiu nodded.
She would not sue in front of Mr. Gu.
Suing this matter also requires a strategy.
Now that Mrs. Xie is pregnant, it is equivalent to holding a Shangfang sword. At this time, avoiding its edge is the best policy.
Hastily filed a complaint, and carefully lifted a stone to shoot yourself in the foot.
After all, there is no evidence, everything is based on speculation.
All in all, Gu Jiu was only responsible for spreading the matter to Mr. Gu's ears.
What to do next has nothing to do with her.
Master Gu smiled, his smile was shallow, "Aren't you willing to tell the truth in front of your father?"
Gu Jiu looked innocent, and said very seriously: "My daughter really doesn't understand."
Master Gu stared at Gu Jiu, "Marquis Lu has a daughter, and it is said that she is in the northwest."
Gu Jiu looked shocked, "The daughter of Marquis Lu is in the northwest, so the court doesn't care?"
"No one in the court knows."
Gu Jiu immediately covered her mouth, "Father, don't worry, my daughter won't spread a single word."
Master Gu remained expressionless, and continued: "Someone is eyeing Lu Hou's daughter, so it would be great if he could be an in-law.
However, Marquis Lu has a high position and authority, and he wants to get married. In the northwest, I am afraid that there is no one who is worthy of Marquis Lu's daughter.
However, if there is a way to cook the raw rice into mature rice, the marriage will not come true. "
Gu Jiu's eyes widened, "Aren't you afraid that Marquis Lu will be furious and kill someone with a knife?"
"Scared!" Master Gu's tone suddenly increased, "So I'm glad this didn't happen and was stopped in time."
Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, fortunately."
Master Gu stared at Gu Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, what do you think should be done with this matter? Should those who plot against Lu Hou's daughter be punished?"
Gu Jiu thought for a moment, then said: "My daughter doesn't understand. It didn't cause any consequences, so can it be treated as if it didn't happen?"
Master Gu had a half-smile, "Do you really think so?"
Gu Jiu smiled embarrassedly, "Father, my daughter doesn't know how to judge cases, and I don't know what kind of responsibility this person should bear."
Master Gu stopped going around in circles, and asked directly: "If you don't understand, why did you deliberately arrange someone to pass the news to the housekeeper Gu Quan? You do this because you hope to do something for your father."
Gu Jiu bowed her head and remained silent.
Master Gu snorted softly, "Xiao Jiu, do you have nothing to say?"
Gu Jiu said, "Daughter has nothing to say."
Mr. Gu asked: "So you are admitting that you are the one who prevented this from happening in the General's Mansion, and you are the one who sent someone to pass the news to Gu Quan."
Gu Jiu wondered what Master Gu's intention was for asking so many questions.
Not in a hurry to deal with Xie Shi, but here to interrogate her.
Yes, to interrogate her.
Gu Jiu frowned, and said flatly: "Daughter is wrong, please father to punish."
"What's wrong with you?"
Gu Jiu did the opposite, deliberately saying the opposite: "My daughter shouldn't stop Sixth Brother, she should cooperate with Sixth Brother to cook raw rice."
"absurd!"
Snapped!
Master Gu slapped the table with his slap, very angry!
Gu Jiu's heart settled down.
She already knew Master Gu's attitude by heart.
Gu Jiu raised her head slowly, and faced Master Gu directly, "Father, did my daughter do something wrong?"
Master Gu snorted, "You didn't do anything wrong, but you created a huge trouble for Weifu."
Gu Jiu laughed, collected herself, and said seriously: "Father, actually, my daughter has always had a question.
My wife has always been shrewd and capable, and it is impossible for her not to know about Lu Hou's fierce reputation. But willing to take the risk to do such a thing. Will there be an inside story here? "
Master Gu didn't answer, but instead asked, "What did you think of?"
Gu Jiu thought about it and said, "I heard that Madam's elder brother is an official of the Eastern Palace. Could this matter have something to do with the Eastern Palace?"
Master Gu stared at Gu Jiu firmly. Gu Jiu's intelligence was beyond his expectation.
This conversation cannot continue.
When it comes to the East Palace, Mr. Gu dare not speak casually, let alone discuss it with his daughter.
He ended the conversation simply and neatly, "That's the end of this matter, from now on, don't talk to anyone. When you go back, get along well with your sisters.
As a father, I don't ask you to be more friendly, but don't make trouble all day long. Otherwise, even you will be punished. "
Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, and said, "My daughter will obey my father's instruction. If my father has no other orders, my daughter will leave now."
"Back off."
