Chapter 244 Guilty Conscience

The Gu family and the Three Princes' Mansion only came back yesterday, so they only found out what happened in the two days they were away yesterday.

Moreover, this matter is still related to the two of them, and it is not a happy thing.

After returning home, the young county master Yujin told the long county master what he heard on Zhuangzi. Although the long county master was furious, he still had some sense and casually said it when Yu Taijun and the emperor were chatting. , it’s not a deliberate request.

Because he was talking about how those husbands disrespected the royal family and how they slandered the royal family. He only mentioned a few words about himself and didn't say much.

Yu Jin didn't meet this alone. There were so many cousins ​​who met him together, and they can all testify.

In addition, Tai Dijun felt sorry for Yu Jin and added all the things he could not do for him last time to come back, so none of those families could get a good deal.

There is no need for other crimes, just contempt for the imperial power is a serious crime.

The emperor issued an imperial edict to confiscate his property that day, without giving them any chance.

Yes, it's just a few merchants. They deserve to be spared their lives. If they don't have anything else to say but gossip about the royal family, and they have to be Yujin's elders, isn't it because they don't want to live too long?

The emperor was merciful by not directly imposing a death sentence, and he had to kneel down to thank Long En.

After hearing this, Gu Chao just raised his eyebrows and didn't ask any more questions, but it made Widow Gu very angry.

Although the housekeeper didn't say much, he just mentioned something about what he and the Third Prince said, but it was this sentence that directly hit Widow Gu.

Isn't there something on his mind? So just one sentence can make him explode.

As a result, after arriving at Mr. Li's house, he heard some people mentioning it without blinking, which made Widow Gu even more upset.

Damn it, why are they the only ones with so many things to do? Whether I have something to do with someone or not, it doesn’t matter if it happens or not, it’s none of their business!

Is the porridge at home getting cold? Just take care of his family's work! Do you care about them?

They are really more gossipy than the men in their village who don't keep their mouths shut, and they deserve it for being so big-mouthed.

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor had already sentenced him, Widow Gu would have wanted to come and scold him. He would have thought that Mrs. Liu was a vegetarian, huh!

Those who had good relations with the Gu family didn't even ask a single question. After getting along for a long time, they knew Widow Gu's temperament. Just by looking at his reaction, they knew that they would definitely not get a good word if they asked, so why bother asking for trouble.

Moreover, they are well aware of this matter and can wait for the final result with peace of mind.

Widow Gu was angry, so he left Li Mansion early after dinner. He was really not in the mood, and didn't want to sit there and be looked at like a monkey, or in a sneaky way.

Ning Su asked someone to go ahead and talk to his wife, and then left the Li Mansion with his father-in-law. The two of them planned to go home directly. After all, Widow Gu had no intention of shopping for anything else.

As a result, when Ning Su sent someone to talk to Gu Chao, the third prince happened to hear her. When the third prince heard that her sweetheart was leaving, she had no spare time to stay with people who didn't matter, so he also left.

When she came out, Widow Gu and Ning Su had not come out yet, so the class carriage was waiting at the door.

Liang Ming was guarding outside and notified his master as soon as he came out.

As soon as Widow Gu went out, he saw the carriage of the Third Prince's Mansion. After all, it was so obvious that it was difficult not to see it.

He snorted twice and rolled his eyes. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been talked about. It was all her fault, she was always shameless.

Of course the Third Prince also knew about that, and even more about what was being said outside, but instead of being angry, she was actually a little happy.

She wished that everyone would spread the news about her and Liu Lan. The more impressive it was, the happier she would be. She wished it were true.

But now looking at my sweetheart's intentions, she is obviously unhappy.

I originally planned to invite my sweetheart to go to the theater and go shopping, but looking at it now, I'm afraid it's too much.

In this matter, there are gains and losses, alas!

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Will my subordinates still go?"

Liang Ming didn't dare to step forward rashly. If he said something bad, he would probably be scolded.

The Third Prince was also thinking about this issue, and she would not be willing to let this hard-earned opportunity pass.

"Go, just tell me that I have decided on a location and it's a new play."

In the end, the third prince still wanted to fight for it, even if he had to complain, it was worth it.

While the third prince's master and servant were talking, Ning Su had already helped Widow Gu get on the carriage, and she also got on the carriage with the help of Qiu Shi and Dong Xue.

The coachman of Widow Gu was about to whip his whip and drive away when he saw Liang Ming coming towards him. He obviously had something to say, so he quietly put away his whip and waited.

The few boys following the carriage also saw it. Chunfeng leaned close to the curtain and whispered to the masters.

"Master, Ning Zhengjun, the guard Liang from the third prince's house has come over. It seems like something is wrong."

Ning Su heard this and went to see her father-in-law. She saw that her father-in-law looked pale and had no intention of speaking, so she had no choice but to speak.

"Wait and see if anything happens."

They weren't going anywhere anyway, so they weren't in a hurry.

Since the carriage from the third prince's house was standing opposite and Guard Liang came over again, it must be that the third prince had something to say to his father-in-law. It was just that it was not convenient for her to come in person at the gate of Li's house, so she asked Liang Ming to come over and deliver the message. .

After Ning Su finished her instructions, she looked at her father-in-law's expression, fearing that he would get angry soon.

The reason why they came out first now was because of some rumors, and the person involved in the rumors was here again, wasn't it because they were afraid that the father-in-law would directly express his anger?

If you really want to say it, it's not a case of expressing anger, but it's hard to say who is right and who is wrong, and who should be blamed.

The reason why Widow Gu didn't speak was not because his son-in-law was here, and he couldn't talk casually. Otherwise, wouldn't there be three hundred taels of silver in this place?

He and that prince had nothing in the first place, but now it was rumored that it was like this. Even if he wanted to explain, it would be difficult to explain clearly.

Moreover, he himself felt a little guilty, after all, he had accepted other people's things.

Therefore, he now no longer has the confidence to dare to slap his chest and say that he would drive people away, and he is even more afraid of being asked by his daughter and son-in-law.

Fortunately, no one at home asked, so he just decided to hide it.

In fact, the reason why he got angry after hearing about it when he went back yesterday was because he felt guilty, so he planned to preemptively block what he said to prevent others from saying it.

Why didn't the Gu family know what Widow Gu was planning? Moreover, everyone had seen his behavior these days and remembered it in their hearts, but they didn't say it. They all knew it in their hearts.

Widow Gu had already scolded the third prince over and over in his heart, didn't he have any eyesight?

I didn’t know whether it was outside, at the door of someone else’s mansion, or on the cusp of gossip being spread everywhere.

If there is anything that can't be said for a moment when no one is around, it has to be now?

The old guy was afraid that he didn't know what he was planning. He thought that if everyone knew about it, he would compromise and fulfill her wish.

Is Mr. Liu the one who is threatened by others? Will you fall for her? Beautiful thought!

Therefore, when Liang Ming came over and said that the third prince wanted to invite Mr. Gu to listen to a new play, he was immediately scolded by Widow Gu.

"I don't have time, let your prince listen to it yourself!"

After saying that, Widow Gu directly ordered the groom to drive, leaving Liang Ming and the waiting Third Prince at the gate of Li Mansion.

As soon as he heard Widow Gu's tone, he knew that he must be angry. Liang Ming immediately shut up and took a step back to avoid being poked by the horse's hooves.

After the Gu family's carriage had driven away, she went back to talk to her master.

The Third Prince had already seen what was going on here on the carriage, and there was no need for Liang Ming to say anything. When Liang Ming came back, he asked the groom to drive back.

Why would she go to the theater without anyone to accompany her? It's better to go home and think of countermeasures.

It seems that she is too optimistic. The disadvantages of this matter are quite big. I don't know how long it will take him to calm down this time.

If she doesn't get it right, she may not be able to see anyone before they return to their home village. This matter needs to be carefully considered.

When they left, they also attracted some people's attention, but they just thought about it a few times in their minds and didn't dare to say anything more.

After all, some people were punished by the Holy Spirit for certain things, and they did not dare to get into trouble.

However, compared with these gossips, they were more concerned about Daozhang Gu's departure.

Some of them had already listened to what Gu Chao and the third prince said before. Later, Ruan Laosan and the others joked with Gu Chao, saying that they would all go there if there was a happy event in the Gu family.

Therefore, it is no longer a secret that the Gu family is leaving Beijing. By the time the banquet is over, everyone in the capital will probably know.

However, they can't be like Ruan Laosan and the others and shamelessly follow them to Gu's house for a wedding banquet. After all, their relationship has not reached that level yet.

Gu Chao had no intention of inviting these people. Not to mention the trouble caused by the large number of people, there was no place to entertain them.

But Ruan Laosan and the others are different again. They have to go to visit the eldest sister's orchard, and after next spring, they have to hold money to buy fruits.

But I'm not afraid that they won't be able to eat it. I'm afraid it's still too little for them.

What they want to do with it when they bring it back to Beijing is their business. Anyway, they can make a profit without losing any money.

Sure enough, after returning to the Gu Mansion, Widow Gu didn't go out for several days. Then it was time to go back. The second elder said that he wanted to go to the streets to have a look and bring some gifts to his family and relatives, so they followed him. Going out.

During this period, the Third Prince also came to invite me twice, but Widow Gu rejected them both times with a very firm attitude.

Widow Gu also thought that they were going to visit their home village soon, and they might not come to the capital again in the future. Anyway, they wouldn't be able to see each other again, so it was better to just disappear now.

Besides, he really had nothing to do with that person and was innocent. It was better not to spread any more rumors, otherwise he would really be in danger.

It's okay that he's in Beijing. There are not many people who are familiar with him anyway, and even fewer people know him. It doesn't matter if he can turn a blind eye. If this spread becomes more and more outrageous in the future, it will be spread back to the village. If so, how else would he behave?

No, no, we can't let him lose his life.

After I go there later, I have to go and burn incense in front of my wife’s spiritual place, and make it clear to my wife that he is not messing around at all.

Since we were going to choose gifts to take back, of course the whole family went there. There were many people in the clan, so we got a lot of things.

But it doesn’t need to be too expensive, just pick something they don’t have, just to see something fresh is their intention.

Because I’m going back, the two parents and children are the most excited and happy.

They have been away for more than two months. This is the first time they have been away for such a long time. They have long been homesick.

It was only at this time that Widow Gu was affected by them and became a little homesick.

No matter how nice this capital is, it is not a place he is familiar with, and he still misses his old acquaintances in the village.

Ning Su, too, started to worry about the situation at home when she thought of going back.

I don’t know if dad and eldest sister are ready? Is it okay to be at home?

Although Han Yu also missed his home in Gujiacun, he couldn't bear to leave his family. In the last few days, he returned to Han's house, wanting to spend a few more days with his family.

When he comes back next time, he doesn’t know when it will be, and it’s impossible for his wife to accompany him back like this every time.

"Just be content. Take a look at the married men in Beijing. Which one is like you? You can get your wife and the whole family to accompany you back to your parents' home?"

Han Zhengjun persuaded his son while packing his things. Although he was reluctant to let go of his son, he also knew that it was good for his son to do this.

As he said, how can a married man still return to his parents' home all the time?

Even he himself, who came to Beijing with his wife, has never been back once in these years. He only writes a few letters a year. He doesn't know how his family is doing now.

Han Yu also knew that his father was right and he should be content, but he just couldn't control himself.

"Okay, okay, don't look so sad. Your daughter-in-law will see you later and she will be unhappy.

After you go back, be sensible, don't be petty, respect your father-in-law, serve your wife, and get along well with Ning.

You are all good children. If you have something to do, please discuss it carefully and don't let your friendship become estranged.

If you need anything, just write home. It's only two or three days' journey, so it's a quick trip back and forth. "

Listening to his father's words, Han Yu held back his tears again. He knew that his father could not offend him.

"Dad, don't worry. My wife won't talk about me. I will live a good life. You should take care of your health at home and don't worry about me."

"Well, if you know your daughter-in-law is good to you, you should be more sensible.

Also, Bao'er is still young. If you treat her well and treat her as your own, the relationship will naturally grow deeper. You have to know it yourself. "

Han Yu also knew what his father was worried about. He had always regarded Bao'er as his own child. He had no children, so the children of his wife and brother were his children.
