Zhang's four-month pregnancy was hidden under her dress. When she walked into the courtyard, she saw Yueniang coming towards her with a smile.
"Auntie, stay here, the young lady hasn't gotten up yet."
Mrs. Zhang looked at the sky and said with a smile, "What do you mean? It's because she is sick."
"Miss was distracted last night and went to bed at dawn. Auntie will come back later."
"In that case, I will go back and take good care of your young lady's health."
Yueniang knew that Mrs. Zhang was easy to take care of, so she calmed down and said with a smile: "Yue Niang is sending my aunt off."
At this moment, two concubines from the second room came out with their maid and mother-in-law, twisting their slender waists and walking like a willow in the wind.
Yueniang's heart skipped a beat, she was dying, why were these two people here? She hurriedly glanced at Chunni.
"Miss Third, good morning, Miss Fourth." Chunni stepped forward to greet them and blocked their way calmly.
Gu Qingyun's eyes squinted slightly, and when she saw Mrs. Zhang was there, she glanced at her lower abdomen and said, "Where is your young lady?"
Chunni smiled and said, "My young lady hasn't gotten up yet."
"Why are you still sleeping under the blue sky?"
"Go back to Miss Third, my daughter was distracted last night."
Gu Qingyun sneered, "Although Madam is merciful and doesn't need Sixth Sister to sleep in the morning and dusk, she can't be so lazy. Fourth Sister, you have to teach Sixth Sister a lesson."
Gu Qinglian chuckled and said: "You are the second sister. It is the second sister who should tell you a lesson, not me."
Wallpaper! Gu Qingyun cursed secretly, walked around the spring mud and walked in.
How could Chunni let her into the house? She dodged lightly and stopped in front of him again, "Miss Third, I hate people making noise when I'm sleeping. Come back another day."
Gu Qingyun was stopped by the little maid, her expression became serious and she showed some aura, "I'm just going in to take a look, why are you so anxious?"
"Third Miss, please excuse me. It's not easy for me to deal with you."
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, she won't dare to blame you."
Chunni thought to herself, it's only bad because you're here. You've already stopped me, but you still have to break in. This is the rule of a young lady.
"Third Miss, please come back another day. The doctor said that Miss is not fully recovered yet and needs a good rest."
Gu Qingyun was fine at first, but after being blocked by Chunni three times and four times, she became a little angry.
Gu Qinglian beside her couldn't stand it either. The two of them kindly came to take a look at Sixth Sister, but they didn't even let them in.
"Oh, what a loyal servant. Third sister, let's go back to avoid being annoying." Although she was angry, she didn't want to argue with a servant in broad daylight. She said a few sour words and walked out. .
How could Gu Qingyun be easily dismissed? Even though others refused to let her in, she insisted on entering. Even a servant dared to show off in front of her. If word got out, what kind of prestige would she, the third young lady, have in the future
She bit her lip, pushed Chunni hard, and went straight in.
Chunni stumbled and was pushed to the ground. Ignoring the pain, she climbed up and stopped in front of her, saying bitterly: "Miss Third, why are you pushing me away?"
"A good dog doesn't block the road." Gu Qingyun didn't even look back.
Chunni was anxious and grabbed the third lady's arm regardless of her dignity, trying to stop her.
Gu Qingyun was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Chunni in the face, "You little bitch who is seeking death, you don't even have any dignity, and you dare to fight against your master. I think you've eaten it." Bear heart and leopard must be brave."
Chunni covered her face and was about to choke, but Yue Niang spoke first: "Miss San, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog!"
Gu Qingyun said without even thinking, "I don't believe it. The people on the left and right are the Gu family's dogs, and they dare to rebel. I want to talk to Liu Mei about the truth."
After saying that, her face sank and she rushed in with great momentum.
Chunni and Yueniang wailed in their hearts, and when they tried to stop them again, they were surrounded by the maids and women beside the third and fourth young ladies.
Gu Qingyun rushed into the back room and saw that the brocade quilt on the bed was neatly folded, and Gu Qingwan was nowhere to be seen. She was stunned, her mind going blank.
A moment later, a shrill cry echoed through the sky.
"Tell me, where is your master?"
In the Shou'an Hall, Zhao Huayang slammed the table with anger in his eyes. It's really a ghost. The good lady in the boudoir disappeared out of thin air. Could it be that she has grown wings.
Yueniang, Chunni and others knelt on the ground, gritting their teeth and saying nothing.
Zhao Huayang was so angry that his eyes were on fire, "Come here, slap me!"
Before he finished speaking, a dozen strong roughnecks walked in. Each of them clamped down on one and opened their bows left and right. Only a few crisp sounds of "pop, pop, pop" were heard. The faces of Yueniang and others soon became swollen. stand up.
Ye Qing and Ye Zi sisters had never been so angry. They struggled to stand up, but Yue Niang stopped her with a look.
"To say it, or not to say it?"
Seeing that these people still refused to open their mouths, Zhao Huayang threw down his sleeves, straightened up and gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't say anything, I'll take care of you."
"Mother, wait!"
Wu Yanling put down the tea cup and said slowly: "This is really strange. Yesterday evening, my daughter saw Sixth Sister walking in the garden. How come she disappeared overnight? Could it be..."
"Is it what?" Gu Qingyun couldn't hold back her anger.
Wu Yanling smiled faintly and said: "In those story books, the talented and beautiful all went to the back garden for a tryst, and in the dead of night, they climbed over the wall and eloped out of the house. I think Liu Mei is the daughter of the Gu family after all, so she will never do such a thing. Something scandalous is coming.”
As soon as the word "elope" came out of his mouth, Yueniang and others' expressions changed several times. Chunni was furious, angry and anxious, and when her brain became hot, she wanted to clarify everything she said.
Yueniang saw that her expression was wrong and she quickly struck her with her eyes. Chunni shed a line of tears in grievance, and her teeth gritted and rattled.
I bother! You just eloped, and your whole family eloped. If the ancestors hadn't come to invite you in person, how could my young lady... If I tell you when the time comes, I'm afraid you will be scared to death.
Wu Yanling said again: "Mom, send people everywhere to look for him. If it doesn't work, just report it to the official. The Chiang government should also make a noise. It's not easy to deal with people who don't see people in life or corpses in death."
After Zhao Huayang heard this, he understood immediately. If this matter gets serious, the marriage between the lunatic and the Jiang family will naturally not be possible.
"Wait!"
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Gu Qingzhi came out with a sullen face, "My wife said that the matter is not yet clear, so it is inconvenient to spread the word. First, I will send someone to look around. Maybe he went to play in the garden, but it is not certain."
Wu Yanling sneered, "Second sister, you are such a joker. We have searched the garden three times. If we don't report to the authorities, I'm afraid she will run away from the capital. Second sister, if something happens to Sixth Sister, how can mother explain to her dead mother?"
"You..." Gu Qingzhi was choked and couldn't think of a word to retort.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Guan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurried into the main room, their faces looking very ugly.
Zhou said through a curtain: "Go back to Madam, I searched inside and outside again, and there is indeed no one there. I have sent someone to notify the master and my second brother."
In the back room, Wei's voice came out feebly, "Has the gatekeeper checked it?"
Mrs. Zhou wiped her head and panted: "I've checked them all, and they all said they haven't seen the person."
Zhao Huayang sneered: "Madam, in my opinion, it's better to report to the official immediately."
"Yes, yes, report it to the official as soon as possible, maybe we can find the person." Mrs. Zhou echoed.
She was in charge of the Gu Mansion's inner chamber, and if something happened to those six girls, she would not be able to escape her involvement. If Zhao Huayang takes the opportunity to cause trouble, she won't be able to explain it even if she has hundreds of mouths.
"Don't report to the official!"
With a sharp shout, Mr. Gu walked in with his hands behind his back and a livid face. Gu Songtao followed him with a bitter look on his face.
"I am the heir to the Shili family in Gu family, and I cannot afford to lose that person. Come on, give me a beating. Where will a concubine run away if she doesn't get out of the door or step forward at the second door?"
Gu Yanqi pointed at the person on the ground, "beat him hard, beat him to death, I don't believe it, are there people in this world who are not afraid of death?"
When the master speaks, who dares not to listen? In a moment, Yueniang and others were dragged outside one by one by the mothers-in-law.
Yueniang and the others exchanged quick glances, their faces all filled with death. If the young lady could return home safely, the beating would be worth it.
Miss, you must not let anything happen to you. You must come back quickly!
Waves of wailing came in, and everyone in the room was thinking about something.
"grandfather!"
Wu Yanling said crisply: "There is something fishy about Liu Mei. Why don't we send some people to search Liu Mei's room to see if they can find any traces of clues."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qingzhi was furious.
This Wu Yanling is really not a good person. Before the matter came to light, she said that Liu Mei had eloped with someone, and she also wanted to bring the matter to the Jiang family. Now she is going to raid Liu Mei's house. It sounds like she is doing it for Liu Mei. Well, who knows what dirty thoughts are hidden underneath.
"Sister Ling, how can any of your own family members copy your own family members..."
"Second sister, I know you are on good terms with Sixth Sister, but she is missing. Who in the house is not anxious? If we can find something, we don't have to worry here."
When Gu Yanqi heard this, he realized this and waved his hand: "Come here, please give me Miss Sixth's house to look inside and outside. Don't pull down any corner."
Gu Qingzhi watched the maids rushing out, secretly hating that she was useless and couldn't even deal with Wu Yanling. But then I thought about it, and there was some truth in what she said. If some traces of clues were found, maybe someone would be able to find him.
Sixth sister, sixth sister, where are you
"Master, master... something bad is going to happen, something is going to go wrong."
The manager of the Gu Mansion ran in with his clothes in hand and a look of surprise on his face.
Gu Yanqi was furious. When he heard this, his blood surged upwards and he wished he could throw the tea bowl at the visitor. It's early in the morning, this is not good, that's not good either, maybe I've seen a ghost.
He suppressed his anger and said sternly: "How can you behave in such a panic? What happened?"
The manager wiped his sweat and said, "Master, there are many officers and soldiers outside, surrounding our Gu Mansion."
"Ah..." Gu Yanqi's face turned pale instantly and his body was shaky.
