My Stepmother Is Soft and Charming

Chapter 386 There Is a Hidden Stake

But now that he is back to be the head of the family, he naturally has to take care of everything.

Although the third daughter of the Gu family is from a collateral branch, as long as the surname is Gu, he has to pay attention to everything. Before, it was because his grandmother was at home to take care of it and he was not free, so he had not studied it carefully, but now he has plenty of free time to think about these things, so his face was serious.

Seeing his expression, Du Jingyi understood a lot in his heart.

The most important thing at the moment is to let the grandmother be buried decently, and other things can be postponed, so he went forward to comfort her and said.

"General, the funeral of the grandmother is the most important."

Gu Shaoyu knew what she meant, so he didn't say much, and then expressed his position.

"Don't worry, madam, I understand."

No one understood the riddle of the couple, but Gu Shaoyu came back, and there was someone in charge in the family, so they felt much more at ease.

After a brief conversation, they went their separate ways.

Originally, we should have continued to keep vigil today, but Gu Shaoyu said that everyone should have a good rest for the next three days, and he would be in charge of the vigil, and everyone would keep vigil together until the day before the grandmother's burial.

After hearing this arrangement, although Du Jingyi felt sorry for her husband who came back in a hurry without a rest, she also knew that this was his filial piety, so she did not stop him.

On the contrary, everyone was really tired these days, so after hearing this arrangement, they all went back to rest.

In Qiwuyuan, Gu Shaoyu sent Du Jingyi back, and the couple finally had a little free time to talk.

Du Jingyi snuggled in Gu Shaoyu's arms, and the whole person couldn't tell what she felt.

Want to cry? It seems that she has cried almost all the tears she can cry in this month.

Want to laugh? The corners of her mouth were pressed hard, and she didn't have any spirit at all.

Finally, it was Gu Shaoyu who broke the silence and asked.

"Why did grandma suddenly pass away?"

When it comes to this, Du Jingyi has a lot to say, then he stood up and looked at Gu Shaoyuhou, and said his guess.

"When the accident happened, it was the second night after the three children were 100 days old. At that time, Dr. Xia and other doctors were invited to see. Everyone said that grandma died because she fell on her head, and there was probably a blood clot in her head, so it happened, but Dr. Xia mentioned to me that grandma had a heart attack, which caused her to fall suddenly."

"Heart attack? Does it mean that grandma has chest pain?"

"Almost, but I asked Qin Mama, and I have never heard or seen grandma say that her chest is uncomfortable, so I think there may be something behind this that we don't know?"

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu frowned more than Du Jingyi.

Now the public statement is that old lady Gu died in an accident, probably because of her age, so everyone only regrets and does not doubt.

But Du Jingyi's words magnified the doubts in Gu Shaoyu's heart, so he paused for a moment and said.

"The Gu family is also a secret stake in Jinling City, but it has not been restarted since my grandfather left. When I came back to worship my ancestors, my grandmother gave me the list, so I will move these people first to see if there is anything special."

"Okay."

After explaining these things, Du Jingyi felt tired, and Gu Shaoyu said.

"You should have a good rest. I will go to replace cousin Zhao. It's not early now, so he should go back."

After all, Xing Zhao is a foreign surname, so it doesn't make sense for him to keep watch for Madam Gu, so Gu Shaoyu just asked him to watch for a while, and then leave after he passed by Qiwuyuan.

Du Jingyi tidied up his clothes and said.

"General, you have been traveling all the way, so you still have to take care of your body. Grandmother will know your intentions in the underworld."

Then he asked Yingtao to take medicine to wipe the wound on his forehead, and then let him go.

Watching Gu Shaoyu's back as he left, Du Jingyi felt much more at ease.

That night, everyone in the Gu family slept well, even the eldest aunt who had been ill for many days, showed signs of getting better.

Now she didn't want anything else, just looking forward to getting up and going to see her mother-in-law off on the day of her funeral, so she drank medicine like water these days, and she was groggy just to get some energy.

The next morning, Du Jingyi woke up.

Perhaps because she slept very comfortably at night, her whole mental state was much better than before, and she asked as soon as she got up.

"Has the general sent breakfast?"

"Not yet, but Danruo said that Vice General Luo came last night and asked for a few bowls of plain noodles, which were all sent over. I guess they are not hungry now."

Hearing Yingtao say this, Du Jingyi remembered that there was a group of personal guards following her general back this time. They looked young and naturally hungry.

So she gave the order.

"Tell Danruo to prepare more meals for the general and the guards in the future, and leave a cook in the small kitchen every day, so that someone can be used in case of midnight snacks."

"Yes, Madam."

Then, Du Jingyi asked Yingtao to help her wash up, and notified Danruo to prepare breakfast and send it to the side room next to the mourning hall. She would accompany her general to have breakfast there.

After packing up, the master and servant set off.

As for Shuxiu, he had other arrangements, so he stayed in Qiwuyuan to look after her.

After kneeling all night, Gu Shaoyu's knees were a little red and swollen, but this discomfort was nothing to him. He got up and moved around a little bit, and it was much better.

However, Du Jingyi didn't agree, so he still tied up his trouser legs for him, massaged them with medicated oil, and then said with heartache.

"The general is brave, so he naturally doesn't care about this little problem, but as the old saying goes, a little bit adds up to a lot. If you don't pay attention to this today and that tomorrow, you will have a lot of illnesses in the end, so you should be careful."

Seeing Du Jingyi taking care of him like this, Gu Shaoyu felt warm in his heart.

Although he had trained hard in the army before, he would also have some injuries, but his uncles would just throw away the medicine and leave, so how could they care about these?

The cousins ​​were rough men, and they didn't use any gentle pressure. Sometimes the injuries were not serious, but they made them more serious. So compared with Du Jingyi's gentleness at this moment, Gu Shaoyu felt that his wife was good.

So he quietly enjoyed Du Jingyi applying the medicated oil to him, and didn't say anything for a long time.

It was not until Yingtao outside said that the food was delivered that Du Jingyi stood up and said.
