In front of his good friend Wang Junzhi before, Su Ziyan also told the truth mixed with lies, saying that the people of Mingde Hou Mansion disdain to see the relatives of the concubine's house, and he never saw the second house master of the Hou Mansion by himself.
This is very false.
The Marquis of Mingde has no separate families, and now they all live in the same place. After the old master is gone, the eldest master from the descendant will inherit the title, and the second master is also from the descendant. The third-bedroom master is in poor health and has no son, so he doesn't go out to socialize very much. The old lady is much more charitable when she gets older. After the grandfather passed away, she didn't send her to the third-bedroom.
Now it can be regarded as a family living in three rooms.
The mansion is large, and there are a lot of people including the master and descendants of the family. Now the eldest lady is in charge of the house, and she decides everything in the inner house no matter how big or small.
The first one is naturally in charge of the gate of the backyard, which is related to the reputation of the family. There are so many girls living in the inner courtyard.
For a wealthy family, if a housewife doesn't even know how to take care of this matter, then she doesn't need to be a housekeeper.
Let’s not mention anything else right now, let’s just talk about visiting relatives. The concubine’s natal family can also visit, but if they want to enter the mansion, they must first report to the mistress, who is the eldest wife, and then ask the mother in charge of the second door to answer. The steward's mother led her in and gave her a room, and the concubine could meet again in the past.
Generally, I can get two hours of time to spend a meal together and talk privately. It is rare to stay overnight.
For example, Su Ziyan, he is the nephew of Aunt Zhou, the second room. If he wants to visit Aunt Zhou at a nearby residence, he must first ask someone to report to the eldest lady. The eldest lady agreed, and let the second wife handle it by herself. Go get someone over.
There are rules everywhere, and this is very troublesome.
Therefore, Su Ziyan never came in as Aunt Zhou's nephew, maybe it was because they had some plans in their hearts, I don't know.
If Su Ziyan wanted to discuss anything, he would go directly to the outer court to meet Gu Yan, without disturbing the people in charge of the inner house, so the second wife never knew about it.
Aunt Zhou has been favored for many years, and there are people who can use eyeliner in the mansion. It is not difficult for Gu Yan to avoid people and arrange for Su Ziyan to meet his mother.
In this way, the relationship between Su Ziyan and Aunt Zhou has been kept secret.
If I hadn't sent someone to inquire carefully, I would definitely not be able to find out.
Li Cheng was only surprised for a moment when he heard the news brought by his servants, but afterwards he felt as if he was so stunned.
Gu Qingci was immediately confused, and his round eyes were wide open, with a surprised look on his face.
It took a long time to speak, "Master, is this true? That person is not Gu Yan's friend? He is his cousin? They, they..." Gu Qingci asked incredulously, without saying anything.
Li Cheng slowly said: "Since the mother-in-law has been told, the investigation must have been clear and accurate." After speaking, he squeezed Gu Qingci's hand.
He has something to say to Gu Qingci, but judging from the current results, the fact that Gu Qingci fell into the water and was encouraged to rescue her original body and then took the opportunity to ruin her reputation must have been a trap designed by Su Ziyan and Aunt Zhou.
The purpose is to ruin Gu Qingci's life.
If I hadn't worn it, it's hard to say what Gu Qingzi would have ended up like.
Li Chengze's face completely sank.
The calculation came to him, if he didn't avenge this revenge, the other party really thought that he could be a soft persimmon because of his good temper.
Li Cheng squinted his eyes and asked the servant if he had found any evidence for what happened the day before yesterday.
Guessing is one thing, but without evidence, you can do nothing on the surface.
But Li Cheng didn't plan to use any serious means at all.
People "respect" him for a foot, and he "returns" him for a foot, which is very fair.
The servant shook his head with a bitter face, the two fake servants died, and the other maids involved beat and sold them, but they didn't come up with any useful words.
This loop is one loop after another, which shows the viciousness of the people behind the scenes.
"The second wife is almost out of breath and sick. Something like this happened in front of her house. Fortunately, nothing happened to the girl in the end. Otherwise, the second wife would try to offend everyone and make a big fuss to seek justice."
Although there was no evidence, Aunt Zhou and Su Ziyan were undoubtedly the biggest suspects in this matter.
In this way, the two fake boys can also explain it. Nothing less than that, when guests came to the door, Su Ziyan brought the two of them in as his own servants. His own servants were probably arranged by Gu Yan to mix in the mansion. If something happened, the fake ones would naturally be abandoned. Ignore it, and then leave calmly with the real servant.
Another one, if he can bribe someone in, he must have a way to threaten others, so even if he is caught, he will not be afraid.
Li Chengze actually didn't understand it. They took all these risks to go around for such a big circle just to deal with Gu Qingci. Interesting
Don't say that Gu Qingci is just a daughter's family, and she has already married, and in the eyes of outsiders, she is already married to a poor family, which is enough for them to laugh for half a lifetime, why must she do this, and find someone to destroy Gu Qingci's innocence
Li Cheng can only guess for the time being that it was Aunt Zhou who had been fighting with the second wife for most of her life, and she already had a deep grudge. Gu Qingci and Gu Xuan are the darlings of the second wife, if any one of them is knocked down, the second wife is afraid of collapse.
This is also a reason, Li Cheng guessed right, but it is not the main reason.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Gu Qingci is already a married woman, so there is no need to spend energy and step on it a few times. Doing so will harm others and not benefit oneself.
But he underestimated the jealousy of women, especially the jealousy of people whose hearts have already been broken.
Gu Qingwan framed Gu Qingci's low marriage because she wanted to see her spend the rest of her life in pain, and experience her transformation from a rich and rich young lady to a lowly poor poor man who only cares about a little money.
It's best for her as a young lady to be scolded by her vicious mother-in-law and her hypocritical husband every day, so that Gu Qingwan can be happy.
But she didn't expect the reality to be completely different from what she expected.
Gu Qingci was married at a low age, but she didn't wither at all, instead, she bloomed more and more.
When she came back to her natal family, she still wore gold and silver, still looked proud, and looked like a delicate young lady.
What Gu Qingwan didn't expect was that Gu Qingci's husband was so handsome, modest and gentle, and he loved and pampered Gu Qingci so much.
When Gu Qingwan first saw it, she didn't want to believe it at all. She told herself that it was all fake, and they must have pretended.
However, after that, Gu Qingci returned home several times, and his husband even allowed her to stay at her mother's house for a while.
Gu Qingwan barely gritted her silver teeth in secret, she had trampled her to the mud, why was she living so comfortably.
So whenever she thinks about it, she panics in her heart.
This time, Su Ziyan actually proposed a plan to them unintentionally.
Gu Qingwan was the first one to agree, she just couldn't see that Gu Qingci was a little bit nice, and with her help and whispering in her ear, Aunt Zhou quickly agreed.
However, Su Ziyan's original plan was to have someone destroy Gu Qingci's innocence, and after those two people finished their work, he led Li Chengze over, and found Gu Qingci's co-workers with disheveled clothes on the spot.
Judging from Su Ziyan's mentality, Li Cheng would think that Gu Qingci was lascivious and unruly, and he would definitely wish to kill her.
Gu Qingci's explanation didn't help the matter, after all, no outsider would dare to do anything to Gu Qingci unless she wanted to.
Li Cheng would hate Gu Qingci for this.
After that, there may be two results. First, Li Cheng was so angry that he refused to cover up the matter. He seized this opportunity to hit Gu's mansion hard, and then he wrote a letter of divorce, divorced Gu Qingci, and Gu Qingci returned home. The fate of the mansion can only be miserable. For the sake of the reputation of the unmarried girls in the mansion, Gu Qingci either ends up with a white silk or is imprisoned in the aunt's temple for the rest of his life; For this reason, the Gu family also has to give Li Chengze a lot of compensation, but Gu Qingci's life in the Li family is definitely not easy. No matter how many concubines Li Cheng took, the Gu family would have no face to take care of them.
So, as long as things are done, no matter what the result is, Su Ziyan has achieved his goal.
It can be regarded as avenging the revenge of the previous life.
It's just that he didn't expect things to go wrong again.
What Li Chengze didn't know was that Su Ziyan had lost his temper as soon as he got home that day.
When returning to the garden that day, Su Ziyan ordered a servant to approach Li Cheng and use a blade to loosen Li Cheng's purse hanging around his waist.
When it was time to prepare, he pretended to have discovered it accidentally and reminded Li Chengze to look for it, which happened to break through Gu Qingci's matter.
It's just that Li Chengze never expected to be so vigilant, and not long after he left and returned to the garden, within a cup of tea, he found that his purse was gone.
He didn't even make a sound at all, and didn't ask the servant girl, which made Su Ziyan negligent.
In the blink of an eye, Li Chengze disappeared.
Li Cheng went back to the garden with Yuanbao.
…
Li Cheng turned his mind back, and said to the man who replied: "You go back first, so that mother-in-law can relax. I know this matter well, and Ci'er must not let Ci'er suffer this grievance for nothing."
He curled his lips and raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly. Counting Su Ziyanyin's two times before, this was the third time. It would be unreasonable for him to return the gift once or twice.
Seeing the uncle's cold and evil expression, the servant's eyelids twitched a few times.
Xindao thought wrong before, this uncle is definitely not just a gentle character, I am afraid that he has big ideas and tricks inside, otherwise, he would not be able to keep their girls so docile and obedient, you know Miss Six is not an easy talker, she is domineering when she is not out of the cabinet, and she is not easily provoked.
This person couldn't help but quietly glanced at Gu Qingci who was on the kang, and saw that she was still playing with the jade pendant that Li Chengze hung outside her clothes.
He didn't dare to look any more, and he bowed after he finished speaking, and the man withdrew to look back at the mansion.
After the people retreated, Li Cheng brought some ointment and applied it to the oily skin on Gu Qingci's hands and legs.
Gu Qingci still had lingering fears in his heart, and leaned beside Li Chengze and asked, "What's your plan, my husband? Since you can't get rid of the relationship with Aunt Zhou, why don't you go directly to your father and ask for an explanation! Why don't you wait for the femme fatale?" At home, it’s not certain when you will go out and you will have a moth.”
Li Cheng sighed, put a blanket on one side of Gu Qingci's lap for Gu Qingci, shook his head and said: "It's very bad, if you don't have evidence, your father-in-law is partial to them, you rush to accuse them, and you will be taught a lesson in the end." It must be you, you haven’t suffered enough in these years? The most important point is that it’s hard to tell this matter, it’s bad for your reputation.”
"This can't be done, that can't be done, can't you just admit that you can't do it!" Gu Qingci was full of anger and grievances, and his chest was full of anger. He tore off Li Chengze's jade ring at the corner of his clothes, and threw it on the ground. .
"Pang!" With a sound, it shattered into pieces.
