Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 940 Gone?

"Gone?" Zhou Banxia was quite surprised to see Gu Wenxuan coming back alone. "Why so early? Or did you go back to your room first? Are they still in the main hall?"

Half an hour ago, a maid informed that the county magistrate and others had returned from the back mountain and were going to the front to take a look. Now they are sitting here for a while without eating and going back home?

"No, I just left. I sent my brothers and sisters to the carriage, and then came back." After Gu Wenxuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhou Banxia still tilting her head in confusion.

"Showing off your white teeth?" Zhou Banxia glared at him in disapproval. "Could it be that you didn't go to the pancreas workshop, but went straight home to sit for a while and left?"

"Half right."

"Leaving without eating?"

"Not really. He ate a few bites and drank a glass of wine. He also made an appointment with me to stay overnight with his wife when she arrived."

What a joke!
Stay one more night!
Unless he comes secretly, the arrival of just one official would not cause too much of a fuss, otherwise all the old people in the village will be exhausted today.

"The main reason is that it was getting late. He wanted to leave after coming down from the mountain. But I told him to come in and sit for a while. Outsiders would think I had offended him."

You are also a bullshitter!
Seeing Zhou Banxia's flirtatious glances, Gu Wenxuan used one hand to support her and stretched out the other hand to take away her sidelong glances, "Your eyeballs are about to fall out."

"Be serious."

"Isn't this serious?" Gu Wenxuan pretended to press his left hand, which had received her eyeballs, on her eyes, "I stayed in the back mountain for a long time.

My senior brother talked to me about both serious and casual things. Of course, it was also a field investigation. It didn't matter whether I went to the pancreas workshop or not.

Besides, he did not hide the fact that he was following Uncle Chang Qing's whereabouts. When he came down from the back mountain and met Aunt Lan, he told her that Uncle Chang Qing would arrive the day after tomorrow.

Zhou Banxia was stunned when she heard this. She didn't know if her IQ dropped after she got pregnant or if she was just overthinking. "You mean, he noticed something strange in the back hills?

But, he will still help you cover up a little bit, so he deliberately mentioned that Uncle Chang Qing will be back the day after tomorrow to remind you that someone is still watching us? "

That's about what it means, Gu Wenxuan thought as he glanced at his wife's big belly, "There must be people watching us, and there will be people paying attention to us.

It's not serious, there can't be anything strange in the back mountain, don't scare yourself. According to my observation, the senior brother almost saw that our defense was quite strict.

He must have misunderstood and thought that you were scared or something in Gao's mansion. It sounded like he wanted to find a way to get you into trouble. He even mentioned which prince's mansion you were originally going to enter.

He asked me if I wanted to know which prince's mansion it was, but I evaded the question. He was a smart man and obviously saw that I didn't want to know which prince it was.

Of course, I also made it clear to him at the time that no matter what Madam Gao meant, regardless of grudges or standing in a certain line, my husband and I would never get involved. "

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but frown, "Could it be that he suspects Gao Fu has chosen sides?"

"As expected of my wife, she agrees with me. But..." Gu Wenxuan whispered in her ear, "Later, his words made me feel that he didn't doubt that the Gao family had already chosen sides. On the contrary, he was more inclined to remind us that if it weren't for your master, his parents, including his maternal family, the Rui Palace, and the Gao family wouldn't have had much friendship."

Why do they all seem to be very dissatisfied with Madam Gao? Is it really because Madam Gao still doesn't treat her master equally?
Logically speaking, no matter what the reason was, it was already not easy for Madam Gao to take in her master and hide him in the Gao Mansion under a false name.

You have to know that at that time, the current emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and even Prince Rui was just a prince, not to mention Gao Fu, which was only the general's mansion at that time.

Although the rate of return was not low, at that time even the Duke of Liang's Mansion was destroyed. Who knew which prince would win? Madam Gao took a huge risk.

Zhou Banxia thought so for a moment, and she also whispered to Gu Wenxuan, "... Could it be related to my master's sudden death?

I just felt that she passed away too suddenly, without me even being able to see her for the last time. Do you think there might be something that Madam Gao kept?"

"It shouldn't be." Gu Wenxuan thought for a while, "Definitely not! Think about it, if your master had a suicide note or some token left behind?
If she plans to leave it to you, even if she doesn't trust Madam Gao and is afraid that if she hands it to you, you might not be able to keep it, don't you still have Aunt Mei?

Regardless of Aunt Mei's character, the fact that she wants to redeem you and wants you to work as an embroiderer in Ruyifang shows that she is not someone who is afraid of trouble.

She is loyal to Madam Qian, but she would not betray you two, or take the opportunity to inform on Madam Qian so that she can get close to Madam Gao.

Another thing is that your master must have left a suicide note or some kind of keepsake for you. Over the years, it is impossible that the two siblings did not have a secret channel of communication.

To put it simply, your master did not learn the good news that the Duke of Liang's Mansion had a chance to be vindicated from Old Madam Gao or anyone else in the Gao Mansion.

This means that your master is not trapped in the backyard of Gao's mansion. She has people outside helping her to gather information, but she just doesn't want to involve you in the trouble.

I am more inclined to believe that your master was indeed able to arrange it as you said. She had already made it known in advance that when she left, she did not want to leave a single word in the Gao Mansion.

Like her arrangements for you, before she left, she didn't leave you any relics, but in the letter to your husband, she wrote down everything she hoped you would do.

Compared to the serious suicide note she left for you before she left, this is actually a form of protection. Old Madam Gao could not estimate how important you are to her husband. "

That's right. Before her uncle came back, Madam Gao wrote to her and taught her how to keep her uncle and make sure she held on to her uncle, this golden thigh.

In fact, there was no need for Madam Gao to teach her. After all, when her uncle first saw her, he was unambiguous and treated her as his own niece.

"If Madam Gao had known that Mr. was going to bring you to the capital just to let you live in the county lady's mansion and recruit a son-in-law, do you believe that you wouldn't even be able to come back?
It's not that I, Gu Wenxuan, am judging others by my own mean character. The Gao family is reluctant to give away their legitimate son as a son-in-law, but they still have many illegitimate sons.

Fortunately, you are so smart, sir, that you never mentioned that the County Lady's Mansion was yours. Otherwise, Madam Gao would have rewarded you with a grandson and taken you all to the capital.

Do you still want to come back? The indenture contract is in the hands of Madam Gao. What else do you think she wants if she doesn't hand it over to your master sooner?"

"I am a lucky star!"
