"Shut up, shut up!" Mrs. Gu screamed, her whole body shaking violently, and she rolled directly under the couch.
But at this moment, Shao didn't pay attention to her at all, but fell into the same panic.
"If mother doesn't want to know, forget it. In fact, my daughter-in-law just wants to ask you. My third brother died young and there was no one to blame him for paying homage. I would like to light a long-lasting lamp in the temple. Would you mind?"
Mrs. Gu's mouth was full of foam, she rolled her eyes and couldn't say a word.
"The old lady has an old illness. Go call the doctor." Ms. Xue raised her voice, and someone outside immediately left in a hurry.
"Old lady, you must live a long life. If you don't make it, I will have to observe mourning for three years. Then there will be no future at all. You have to live a long life." After saying that, she turned around. Before leaving, he glanced at Shao and smiled at her.
At this time, Shaw felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on him for the third time in nine days, and his heart felt cold.
She should have thought of it. When Mrs. Xue first married Gu Yong, she had many means to deal with Mrs. Gu. How could she not do anything to her now. Where did Xue know this secret? Did Brother Gu tell her? No, it's impossible. Brother Gu doesn't know the truth at all.
Shao was in a panic for a while and did not notice Xue's departure.
Ms. Xue stood outside the door, looking at the panicked maids and women inside, with a sarcastic arc on her lips. After living in the Gu family for nearly twenty years, there are still some secrets that she doesn't know.
Old Mrs. Gu didn't let her continue, she was just afraid that the murderer she told was her son. I'm afraid that in her heart, she had already determined that the illegitimate child between herself and Shao's father was killed by her two sons.
The facts are actually similar, but Gu Yong was not the one who did it, he was just responsible for the aftermath.
And Shaw Brothers was the one fanning the flames. If she didn't mention the past events many years ago, many people would probably forget them.
At that time, Young Master Gu Zhen was busy, and after listening to Shao's advice, he felt that the existence of his third brother made his mother care less about him, so he called many companions to push him into the river. After the incident, Gu Yong settled the matter for the sake of his biological brother.
After all, to him, his third brother was just a child picked up by his mother out of kindness.
Although Mrs. Gu had doubts in her heart, she would not embarrass her two living sons for the sake of one dead son.
Shao got his wish and killed his father's evildoer, so everyone was happy.
This incident happened before Ms. Here to investigate this matter.
Shaw is a smart person, she always knows what she wants. Just like back then, although Gu Yong had an outstanding appearance and good talents, he was just a white man after all, and he was still much worse than the county prince who had three legitimate sons, a bunch of concubines, and the loss of his wife.
So she married the county magistrate without hesitation, even though many years later, her ex-fiancé, whom she despised, had already been ranked third rank, and her ex-husband was still a sixth rank minor official before his death.
Just after noon on the second day, the maid came to report that Mr. Shao had made many snacks from his hometown and specially brought them to Mr. Xue to try.
Mrs. Xue smiled and asked someone to invite her in.
What exactly the two said, no one knows. However, in the next few days, when Gu Mingmou went to greet his mother, he always met Shao. Completely different from the unfamiliar and polite manner they met for the first time, Shaw seemed to be a different person and was particularly enthusiastic towards her.
The addition of one more person to the family had no impact on Gu Mingmou. The only person affected was actually Gu Yong.
Because the old lady fell ill again, Gu Yong's original idea of staying away from Shao was stopped. He even saw Shao taking care of his mother all day and night, and he couldn't help but feel pity for her haggard face every time he saw her.
Mrs. Gu's illness came too quickly this time. She called in several doctors, but her condition did not improve. Gu Yong vaguely heard that his mother called Mr. Xue over that day and then collapsed. But when he asked his mother, she just shook her head, and even Shao said she didn't care about Xue's business.
Considering Xue's always lukewarm attitude, she shouldn't deliberately anger her mother. But compared to Shaw's concern for her mother, she is undoubtedly unqualified as a daughter-in-law.
Seeing Mr. Shao busy beside his mother, Gu Yong couldn't help but feel a little hot in his eyes and stared at her blankly.
The bumpy figure looked at it for a long time.
"Brother Gu!" It wasn't until Shao called him angrily that he reacted, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"I, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Let me see Brother Gu off."
"No, you just stay with your mother." Gu Yong left in a hurry.
Shao watched him go with a smile on his face. Once the curtain was lowered and the darkness in the room returned to before, the smile on Shao's face also fell.
In the evening of this day, Gu Mingmou was walking in the garden to eat after dinner, and happened to meet Gu Yong who was coming towards her. He was filled with joy, and even the way he looked at her was gentle.
Gu Mingmou raised her eyebrows curiously, and waited until the person left before she could not help but ask, "Has father been promoted or made a fortune?"
"Shao brought soup to the master's study last night and left late at night." Sanqi whispered in Gu Mingmou's ear.
"Oh...it turns out I finally succeeded."
Because of his mother's deliberate indulgence, Shaw's many methods were finally put to use, nominally to take care of Mrs. Gu, but in the end they took care of Gu Yong. Only half a month has passed, and as expected, someone has taken the bait. It's no wonder that Shao didn't go to his mother's house today.
Gu Mingmou was somewhat used to it. It was just a Shao family, and there were two of them raised outside. He didn't know when his father would bring them back.
The news that Shao went to Gu Yong's study for half a night has not spread yet, but everyone has heard that Gu Yong treats her differently. At first, Aunt Liu didn't take Shao seriously. In her opinion, she was just an old lady, and the master would definitely not like her even if he was a young woman.
But for a period of time, the master stopped coming to her place, and such rumors came out, which made her a little anxious. She quickly called the maid to apply makeup on her, picked out a peach pink tube top dress embroidered with golden butterflies, carried the food box she had prepared early in the morning, and headed straight to the study.
Unexpectedly, she was stopped outside the study room.
Aunt Liu raised her eyebrows and glared angrily at the expressionless steward standing in front of her, "Gu Tong, what do you mean?"
"Please forgive me, aunt. I am busy with official duties and don't see anyone."
