Gu Houye slapped the table with a slap: "The evidence is there, what else do you have to say?"
At first glance, those words were the handwriting of Concubine Ling.
Aunt Ling was stunned.
For a moment, she suspected that she had lost her memory!
I'm afraid she didn't really write it
Of course, this adulterer does not exist. In order to make the whole story more reasonable, Lao Jijiu finally wrote a letter breaking up the friendship between the two in a very sad tone.
Basically - I've had enough of this dark day, I can't bear you going back to another man. Goodbye, my love. Don't come to me, I'll go to a place where no one is there, and take the memories of the two of us with us! These letters are proof that I have stayed in your world, and I wish to leave them to you to cherish.
Well, even the pit of why Ling Yiniang was holding the love letter she wrote in her hand was filled.
If there is no love letter from Aunt Ling, then it can only be regarded as an adulterer's word, and Aunt Ling does not admit that it is written to her.
It is because of her written reply that this story of the wind and moon has a sense of substitution and persuasion.
Lord Gu: No wonder the adulterer could not be found. It turns out that the adulterer has already left the capital!
Gu Houye's seven orifices are smoking, not only angry with Aunt Ling for making him green, but also angry that the adulterer's writing is so much hotter than his own!
He couldn't write such a numb sentence!
… take a cheat sheet and write it to my wife later!
Gu Houye was definitely angry at the fact that Aunt Ling gave him a cuckold, but he was still distracted at the moment, which showed that Aunt Ling was not very important in his heart, it was purely a matter of man's face.
In contrast, Mrs. Gu, who was on the side, was quite angry.
Aunt Ling is too shameless, isn't the man in the family bad? Have to go outside to steal fish!
Which wild man out there can compare to her son
She pointed at Ling Yi Niang's nose with trembling all over her body: "It's a shame that I used to think you were good, treat you like my own daughter, and you will pay a lot of money for food and clothing. It's more beautiful than Mrs. Zhengshi! In the end, that's how you repay the Marquis?"
Aunt Ling thought to herself, yes, it's more beautiful than the main room, isn't that because she drank Juezi soup? If she also gave birth to a son and came out to compete with the three Gu Changqing brothers for the family business, would the old lady still value her so much
She didn't say that.
After saying that Mrs. Gu won't feel ashamed, she will only think that she is shameless and dissatisfied. She was the one who asked to enter the Hou residence, and she also voluntarily drank the medicine, nothing is better than Hou residence and sister. children are important.
Is she farting
In fact, Aunt Ling really didn't say these words, but Mrs. Gu only wanted to believe what she wanted to believe. She just thought that Aunt Ling had said it.
Aunt Ling also opened her tearful eyes wide and looked at Madam Gu aggrieved when she was drinking the jelly.
She didn't refuse, because she couldn't refuse, not her willingness.
However, Mrs. Gu wanted it to be misinterpreted as voluntary.
Mrs. Gu can tolerate Aunt Ling framing Yao Shi, but she will never allow Aunt Ling to feel sorry for her son.
Concubine Ling said sadly, "Don't you understand what kind of person I am? How could I do something that I'm sorry for?"
The evidence is solid, Mrs. Gu won't listen!
The dirty water that Ling Auntie poured on Yao Shi was now poured back ten times on herself.
Aunt Ling's fingernails were pinched into the flesh: "Okay, you said I'm pregnant, then I want to see if I can have a child ten months later!"
But, does she really have ten months to prove the truth of her belly
Lord Gu opened the second box, which turned out to be two account books.
The first is the account book of the Hou Mansion, which is obviously not a public account, but a private account of Concubine Ling.
It was recorded above that Concubine Ling misappropriated as much as 200,000 taels of money from the Hou Mansion!
You must know that Marquis Gu's annual salary is only a few hundred taels, and it would take him five hundred years to save this amount of money if he does not eat or drink.
Part of the money was for her to subsidize her maiden brother.
Compared to the destitute Yao family, Aunt Ling's two brothers who had been separated from the house had a much better life, and Aunt Ling could give a thousand taels.
It was also at this moment that Mrs. Gu felt that Yao's family was much more reliable than this surnamed Ling. At least Yao's family would not use Hou's hard-earned money to subsidize her parents' family.
There was also a part of the silver that Ling Yiniang exchanged into gold bars and deposited it in the bank, which belonged to her greed for ink.
Madam Gu just doesn't know what she's doing with the private money? Could it be that he was planning to run away with that wild man
Mrs. Gu is about to die of anger!
In the end, the remaining 10,000 taels of silver were recorded more interestingly. I don’t know what it was used for, and only the names of a few servants were recorded.
"Zhang De..." Gu Houye always felt a little familiar when he said this name.
Huang Zhong said, "Master Hou, is that the little Zhang Zi?"
Lord Gu pondered: "Little Zhang Zi?"
Huang Zhong explained: "Zhang can't pour! The guy who can't pour a thousand cups without getting drunk! Drinks a lot! He used to be in charge of the warehouse, and then he drove the carriage for more than a year in front of the former wife!"
In this way, Lord Gu has an impression. He loves drinking and always makes mistakes. Later, he was sent back to the warehouse by the Xiaoling family: "Is he still in the house?"
"Here!" Huang Zhong said.
"What about these few?" Gu Houye handed the account book to Huang Zhong.
"These are all here, this one is Liu Chun'er..." Huang Zhong wasn't sure.
"She's gone! But this old slave knows where she lives!" Madam Gu's confidant, the aunt, said outside the curtain.
Huang Zhong and his confidante separated to find someone. Most of the servants in the account book were found, and a few were missing, but it did not affect the final investigation.
Lord Gu confronted them in front of Aunt Ling.
They didn't admit it at first.
Lord Gu said coldly: "It's ok if you don't admit it. It's written on the top, how much money you have taken, and return it to Ben Hou immediately. If you don't pay, then the right should be stolen by you, and Ben Hou will report it. Officer! I'm Lord Hou, and I report to the officials to arrest people who enter the yamen, I'm afraid they won't come out again!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone froze.
Zhang Budao was the most cowardly, and he was the first to kowtow to beg for mercy: "Master Hou is gracious! The servant said! The silver was given to the servants by Concubine Ling, she let the servants spread the money in the house and all over the capital, killing the wife first. Madam's news!"
"She also asked the servants to smash the third son's most beloved inkstone and put the blame on the little son!" said a maid.
"She asked the servant to say in front of the second and third sons that the Hou Ye will not want them if he has a new wife! If a son is born in the new wife's belly, the Hou residence will be the younger brother's!" Another nanny said. .
Among these people, there were people who served Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin in close quarters.
Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin had great prejudice against the Yao family. On the one hand, they came from Mrs. Gu and the Ling family, and on the other hand, it was the doomed instigation of these servants.
But they were very skillful in their instigation, and they were all guided by Concubine Ling behind the scenes, which not only allowed the two brothers to listen, but would not tell the servants out.
A servant said: "And... the time when the black room was closed... Third Young Master's strength was not that strong, and the door was not closed. It was Concubine Ling who asked the servant to close the door to death..."
Even Gu Chenglin himself didn't know about this matter, he really thought he had closed the door to death.
Gu Yan couldn't open the door, had a heart attack and almost died inside.
And Lord Gu also nearly killed the three Gu Chenglin brothers.
Gu Changqing was always beside the old marquis, so Concubine Ling couldn't do anything about him, so she extended her controlling hand to Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin.
Every time the two of them were wronged by Lord Gu, crying that their father was not good, and they no longer wanted a father, the servant would say, "It's not Lord Hou's fault, Lord Hou treated you very well in the past. Yao Shi gave birth to a younger brother to you, so Master Hou will ignore you."
The two children vented all their anger on Gu Yan.
Poor Gu Yan, at such a young age, jumped up and down to find her brother, but what he got in return was the abuse of his brothers.
Gu Houye's anger finally broke out completely, he stood up, kicked Aunt Ling's chest, and kicked her whole body over!
Aunt Ling fell heavily on the ground, and a mouthful of blood spit out from the corner of her mouth.
The truly chilling moment is now.
When he believed that she was pregnant with another man's wild seed, he had never been so angry, but she only dealt with Yao Shi and Gu Yan a little, and he was so angry
Isn't that bitch and her son all right
Aren't they doing a good job
She is a cow and a horse in this family, and she has even been deprived of her right to be a mother!
"Why did you do this?" Lord Gu looked at Aunt Ling in confusion.
"Why..." Concubine Ling smiled, "Of course it's because of you, Lord Hou..."
From the moment I fell off the attic and was caught by you, I wanted to marry you.
But why are you my brother-in-law
When I saw my sister with you, I was so jealous that I went crazy!
Sister is dead.
My sister was very kind to me.
But I'm not sad, not at all.
Because I know my chance has come.
…
Lord Gu asked Aunt Ling to be taken away.
Aunt Ling's sin is unforgivable, but one is that she is the daughter of the Ling family, and the other is that the three sons don't know about Aunt Ling's guilt, so they havetily dealt with it, and the sons don't believe it. , the misunderstanding is even deeper.
Gu Houye suddenly felt very tired.
He didn't hear much about Yao's rumors. First, no one dared to say it in front of him, and secondly, Yao never complained to him. He occasionally heard the subordinates talk about it, and he was dealt with on the spot.
"Master Hou, how do you deal with these servants?" Huang Zhong asked.
Lord Gu said impatiently, "Just a few servants! Do you even want to ask this Marquis?"
"Yes Yes!"
Alas, to be angered, what a pity!
Huang Zhong blamed those servants who should be punished, and those who should be sold, in short, they were not allowed to set foot in the Hou residence for half a step.
"Master Hou." Huang Zhong said, "It's getting late, you should go back and rest first."
Before I knew it, it was already midnight.
Yao Shi had already returned to the yard.
Madam Gu was so angry that she had a headache, and she also rested after returning to the room to take medicine.
Lord Gu was tired, but instead of resting, he went to Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin's yard.
Gu Chengfeng just came back from the task, he was almost drained, his face was pale, but it was in line with the appearance of being woken up in the middle of the night and weak.
Lord Gu: "Call your eldest brother here."
His aura was not right.
The brothers looked at each other, wondering what happened to their father.
Gu Chenglin said, "Big brother has gone to the military camp."
Lord Gu said wearily, "Okay, I'll talk to you two first."
Gu Houye didn't say anything about Aunt Ling's affair with others. One is disgraceful, and the other is that it is not easy to tell her about it in front of the children.
He only talked about Ling Auntie's greed for money and bribing her subordinates to spread rumors and sow discord.
The two brothers were stunned.
The little Ling family went early. When Aunt Ling entered the mansion, the two brothers were still at the age of relying on their mother. They drew the warmth of their mother from Aunt Ling. In their hearts, Aunt Ling was the second mother.
Gu Chenglin quickly stood up from the chair: "I don't believe it! Auntie wouldn't do this! It must be Yao's! It's that bitch of Yao's who slandered Auntie!"
"Who are you calling a slut!" Lord Gu also stood up coldly!
This time, Gu Chengfeng stood in front of his younger brother.
He would not allow his aunt to be wronged, nor would he allow his father to teach his brother a lesson for undeserved crimes!
For the first time, Lord Gu felt a different aura from his second son, but he didn't think much about it, his fists clenched: "The evidence is conclusive, those servants are still being punished in the stables, If you don't believe me, go and ask!"
Gu Chenglin said, "They were all bought by Yao's! Yao's told them to say what they said! I don't believe their words! I want to see my aunt! I will ask her personally! I only believe her!"
Lord Gu was furious: "Bad son!"
Gu Chenglin just ignored him. In Gu Chenglin's heart, his aunt is much more important than his father!
When he was ill, it was the aunt who took care of him in a confused way!
When he missed his mother, it was the aunt who held him up all night!
He was beaten up indiscriminately by his father, and it was his aunt who comforted him, coaxed him, and gave him something delicious!
Auntie is the best person in this world besides his own mother!
He only needs his aunt!
Gu Chenglin rushed to Concubine Ling's yard.
Gu Chengfeng was also very worried about Concubine Ling's condition, and followed her.
"Auntie!" Gu Chenglin came out of the courtyard.
The guard stopped him: "Third Young Master, you can't go in!"
"Get out of the way!"
Gu Chenglin arrogantly pushed the guards guarding the door.
But he couldn't move.
Gu Chengfeng came over, and with the movement of his fingertips, the guard only felt something hit his knee, and his body bent, Gu Chenglin took the opportunity to push him aside, and entered the yard with Gu Chengfeng.
"Auntie! Auntie!" Gu Chenglin hurried to Auntie Ling's house.
The room was quiet and quiet, there was no lantern, only a small piece of moonlight came in from outside the door.
"Auntie?" Gu Chenglin called softly.
Aunt Ling sat in front of the dressing table with her hair disheveled, staring at the bronze mirror in a daze.
But in just one day, she seems to be no longer young and beautiful.
"Auntie..." Gu Chenglin came behind Aunt Ling.
Aunt Ling was very quiet.
But her red and swollen eye circles were not difficult to see that she had cried bitterly just now, and there was blood on the corner of her mouth.
Gu Chenglin was heartbroken. He knelt down on one knee and looked up at Aunt Ling distressedly: "Auntie? Did your father beat you? He's such an asshole! I don't care about him anymore! I don't want him anymore!"
Aunt Ling's eyes were red and her eyes were full of water. She raised her hand and stroked Gu Chenglin's cheek: "Silly child."
Gu Chenglin put his cheek against her palm, and said with all his might, "They said you framed Yao Shi and forged evidence to slander you! Auntie, don't worry, I won't be fooled! Father was deceived by that vixen. , I will find a way to clear your injustice!"
Aunt Ling said, "Don't you think she is stupid and can't do anything to frame people?"
Gu Chenglin snorted: "That was the past! I saw her having a private meeting with someone, and she made me flinch. I knew she was not easy! She is not a good person! Auntie, if the house can't accommodate you, then I will also Don't wait! I'll take you away! Take you out of the Hou residence!"
Aunt Ling smiled bitterly: "You are the son of Lord Hou, Lord Hou will not let you leave the Hou residence, you will be arrested."
Gu Chenglin choked, and quickly said, "He, he can't catch me! Let's go to Ling's house to hide! My grandmother will definitely call the shots for me!"
She will call the shots for you, but she will not call the shots for me.
My value was drained the moment you grew up.
Aunt Ling looked at him with tears in her eyes and choked, "Let Auntie hug you again."
Gu Chenglin nodded, wrapped his hands around Concubine Ling's waist, and buried his head in her arms.
Suddenly, his chest hurt.
Everything happened so fast that Gu Chengfeng, who was beside him, didn't have time to react, and Concubine Ling's dagger had already been inserted into Gu Chenglin's heart!
Gu Chenglin looked down at the dagger in his heart and raised his head in disbelief: "Aunt, mother—"
