Chapter 818 Taking the Bait

She went out all night and didn't come back until dawn. If something happened to the little boss's family, she, the personal maid, would die ten times and it wouldn't be enough to compensate.

Gu Jinli looked at Xiao Ji's face turned pale with fright and said with a smile: "I went out with Brother Qin, what could happen? Don't scare yourself."

Xiaoji: "..."

It was precisely because she followed Sanlang of the Qin family that she was worried. What if the young man took advantage of the young master, or the young man with bad intentions towards the young master? Not engaged yet!

"Anyway, little master, don't run out like this and not come back all night. It's hard for me to give an explanation to Brother An when I go back." Xiao Ji told Gu Jinli seriously.

Gu Jinli said perfunctorily: "Okay, I'll come back early next time."

Then he looked at the people waiting in the room with Xiaoji: "Erping, Sanping, Erle, Sanle, Sanxi, thank you for your hard work."

When Gu Jinli called their names, it was really hard to explain. What was Qin Sanlang thinking? Why give them such random names?

The five characters "peace, joy, happiness, and celebration" are combined with the number of characters to form a name. The most terrifying thing is that the word "celebration" is actually used for girls.

That's right, after the water bandits' stronghold was breached, some girls were also sold as slaves by the government. Qin Sanlang bought a few girls with good bones who deeply hated the water bandits and threw them to train with You An and the others. . Three years have passed and I have been practicing well, so that’s what my name is.

Those from Daqing, Erqing and Sanqing made several girls feel like men.

Erping and the others were very happy when they saw that Gu Jinli could call out their names. They all stood up and said, "It's not hard work!"

The voice was loud and the team was neat, which showed that he was very obedient to Qin Sanlang's training.

Qin Sanlang not only trained them to be obedient, but also solemnly told them that Gu Jinli's life was more important than his, and all of them must listen to her.

He also mentioned that Gu Jinli's contribution was the reason why the water bandits' stronghold was successfully wiped out.

Therefore, Erping and the others respected Gu Jinli very much and regarded her as important as Qin Sanlang.

Qin Sanlang looked at the pale sky and said to Gu Jinli: "It's almost dawn. You go to bed first and wait until you wake up."

It's okay for him to stay up late, but it's not easy for a girl like her to stay up like that.

Gu Jinli was indeed sleepy: "Well, you should go back to bed early."

Qin Sanlang smiled and nodded, watching her and Xiaoji return to the back house.

After Gu Jinli took a shower, he fell asleep.

She slept for three hours and then got up.

Qin Sanlang had already asked Sanxi to make breakfast. When he saw that she was awake, he brought her breakfast.

Gu Jinli asked while eating: "Are Daqing and the others back?"

After saying that, the corner of his mouth twitched, obviously he was shocked by the name again.

Qin Sanlang smiled when he saw it and said, "I'm back. Things have been settled. Qian Guangzong and his son and Gu Chengxian will be taken care of in less than three days."

It was the Qian family's idea that her family would be sold in the first place, and Qian Guangzong's family could not be let go.

Gu Jinli nodded after hearing this. After eating an egg, he said, "It's best to deal with them within three days. If it's later, we'll have to come back next time."

She promised Gu Jinan that she would go home and give him the exam before February 15th. She could see that Gu Jinan was already suffering from the old Gu's tutor. If she didn't go back before he entered the examination room, Gu Jinan would not be able to calm down and take the examination.

Qin Sanlang: "Don't worry, with the tempers of the Qian family and his son, three days is more than enough. That Gu Chengxian is not a gentleman, he has a lot of little thoughts inside."

He checked on Gu Chengxian and also found someone to test Gu Chengxian, and found that he was a gentleman and magnanimous person on the outside, but rotten on the inside. When he was in the capital before, he had a few maids who were married to each other, and even made the girls' bellies bigger, but Gu Chengxian was a beast, and he didn't keep any of those maids, and sold them all to the Li family. When he arrived at He'an Mansion, he became the best young man in troubled times again, looking unattractive to women.

Qin Sanlang did not tell Gu Jinli these things in detail because he did not want to taint her ears.

Gu Jinli ate noodles and said, "As long as he can take the bait."

Then asked Qin Sanlang: "Have you eaten?"

Qin Sanlang shook his head: "I haven't eaten yet."

He deliberately waited for her to wake up and wanted to eat with her.

After hearing this, Gu Jinli served him a bowl of noodles: "Eat quickly."

Qin Sanlang took the noodles with a smile and started eating them in big mouthfuls. He ate three bowls in a short time and only stopped after eating two eggs.

Gu Jinli was also full. After rinsing his mouth, he expressed his doubts about Mr. Li: "That Mr. Li was too kind to Gu Youwen and the others. He is just the descendant of a group of benefactors. They live with each other. It's for the official seeker again. Something happened to Gu Youwen, and he was even more excited than Mr. Gu. It was as if his own son was paralyzed..."

At this point, Gu Jinli paused, and suddenly remembered that Mrs. Gu was literate, and before marrying into the Yuan family, Mrs. Gu seemed to have worked as a maid in a wealthy family.

The Yuan family is Mrs. Gu's ex-husband and Aunt Gu's father, who died long ago.

After the death of her ex-husband named Yuan, Mrs. Gu remarried Mr. Gu.

"Old Mrs. Gu's natal family is very mysterious. When she was a child, people in the village mentioned her as a widow from the Yuan family. I doubt that she has a natal family at all, but is a maid released by a wealthy family." Gu Jinli pondered for a while, and finally said: "That big family may be the Li family. Mrs. Gu must have known Mr. Li a long time ago. There must be some bloody history between the two."

Otherwise it doesn’t make sense?

How can anyone in the world be so kind and caring to the descendants of their benefactors as their own sons?

Qin Sanlang also felt that Mr. Li was too kind to Gu Youwen and the others. Hearing this, he said, "I will ask You An and the others to investigate the past of Mrs. Gu. But this matter is not easy to investigate. It is too old. .”

Mrs. Gu and Mr. Li are both Benliu people. It is very difficult to find out what happened when they were young.

Gu Jinli also knew that it was difficult to investigate the matter. She said, "Just try your best to investigate. If you can't, I have ways to deal with them."

Qin Sanlang looked at her smiling side face, not wanting to disappoint her, and promised: "Even if it is difficult to find out, I will let You An and the others find out. Take this opportunity to train them so that they can do their jobs well in the future."

Gu Jinli held a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "Don't push them too much, they are younger than you."

Qin Sanlang smiled: "It's easy to train him when he's young, but when he gets older, it won't be easy to train him."

Then he took the tea in her hand and handed her a cup of warm sugar water: "Drink this."

Lake tea is cold and not suitable for girls to drink.

It wasn't the first time that he had bothered with her. Gu Jinli didn't pay attention and took the warm sugar water and drank it. But Qin Sanlang drank all the lake tea she had drank.

Gu Jinli: "..."

Seeing her stunned, Qin Sanlang looked at her and smiled: "Why are you stunned? I don't dislike you. It's okay to drink the tea you drank."

Gu Jinli's face felt hot and he cursed secretly: "Rogue!"

…

The two girls, Daqing and Erqing, did their job very well. The next night, Daqing came to report: "Gu Chengxian didn't hold on and took the bait. It's all thanks to Qian Guangzong and his son."
