Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 177 Innocent Guilty
Hearing the cry, Gu Sixiao couldn't help frowning.This familiar cry was not the old lady of the Mu family, she had been listening to it at Mu Feng's funeral last time.

Unexpectedly, this time, the old lady of the Mu family made trouble again.

Annoyed in her heart, she raised her eyebrows, thinking that it would be fine if the old lady was honest, but if it was the same as last time, if she had to make trouble in the coffin, she would not save face like Xue Wanhua did.

With such an idea, Gu Sixiao stood up and looked at Mrs. Mu with a bit of coldness.

But I didn't want Mrs. Mu to enter the door, but she didn't make a big fuss like last time. Once she came in, she went straight to the coffin, crying: "My poor son! Why did you go like this? Feng'er has gone, and you will go again, but how can I be an old woman! I am alone, so I might as well go with you..."

Holding the spirit case, she was crying heartbroken, and the woman who came to mourn at the side also felt sad, and couldn't help interjecting: "Don't you have a grandson! I said, old sister, don't be too sad Now, if you really have something good or bad, your son and daughter-in-law will not feel at ease under the nine springs..."

When Mrs. Mu heard this, her complexion softened a little, and her tears stopped.

Standing up, walking in front of the nanny, looking at the big mountain in her arms, she wiped away her tears.

"Is this Feng'er's child?"

Gu Sixiao nodded, because Mrs. Mu didn't make a fuss, and her complexion eased a lot, "My dear lady, this is Dashan. The house has been busy these days, and I didn't pick up the old lady to see the children. Please forgive me."

She spoke softly, but Mrs. Mu was excited. When she saw the mountain, she wanted to hug her.

Gu Sixiao originally wanted to let the nanny let go and let the old lady Mu hug her, but she didn't want to hear someone say: "This old lady is really pitiful, she only has such a grandson, but she just pointed at this grandson." The grandson is living a life, if he can be kept by his side, I still have something to think about."

Upon hearing this, Gu Sixiao immediately became alert.

Although someone else said this, it may not be that Mrs. Mu didn't mean it.If she really wanted to take the child back, it would be troublesome.

With a glance out of the corner of her eye, she motioned for the nanny to hold the baby.

The nanny invited by the Su family was also alert, as soon as she saw Gu Sixiao's eyes, she immediately hugged the child tightly.

Mrs. Mu kept pawing at her arm, but she didn't want to let go of the child.

"I really feel sorry for this person..." Mrs. Mu wiped her tears and said in a low voice: "My dear lady, look, this child is also pitiful. As soon as he was born, his parents were gone. The same is true in your family, the in-laws I heard that your health is not good, otherwise, you should take this child back to my place to raise! I am alone there, and there is no one else, so I can just focus on this child. "

"The old lady has a heart." As soon as Gu Sixiao heard what she said, Gu Sixiao raised it even more in her heart: "I also understand the old lady's intentions, but you can't do that in this matter."

Looking at the old lady, she didn't feel relieved, "This child's surname is Xue, how can he move to live with the old lady? This is neither emotional nor reasonable."

"I'm not saying let the child change his surname just like that! It's all said and done, how could I not keep my word? I just think that there is no adult in your Xue family to take care of the child, so why don't I help the child? Take care of it!"

"The old lady is kind, I understand." Gu Sixiao smiled slightly: "But it's not pleasant to say, so don't be angry with me."

The voice is soft, but Gu Sixiao's attitude is very tough, "You are so old, we can't bear to let you take care of the children! Yes, you are kind, but to put it bluntly, you take care of yourself It’s all a problem, how can you take care of the child?! This child is only a little bit old now, and his life is still long! How many years can you follow him? How many years can you take care of him?!”

The old lady Mu changed her face when she heard the words, and she stared at Gu Sixiao with evil eyes, but Gu Sixiao didn't seem to hear it, she still smiled and said: "Furthermore, the house you live in now is my Xue family's house. The things you bought, the food you used, and the servants who waited on you were all from our Xue family! Naturally, my sister said before she was alive that she must serve you for a hundred years, so we juniors will take good care of you Yours, how can you make you worry about the younger generation?!"

Although he said it softly, there was actually a threat in his words.

Isn't it a joke that you are raised by Xue's family yourself, and you still say that you take the children of Xue's family back to raise yourself? ?

Such words are actually a bit mean. If it was normal, Gu Sixiao would not say it, but at this moment, she has a bad feeling for Mrs. Mu, and she always feels that what happened today was not Mrs. Mu's idea alone.

In her impression, Mrs. Mu was not a difficult person to talk to.Xue Wanhua has said several times that this mother-in-law is a good person and follows the rules.

But now, this well-behaved good man actually jumped out to snatch the child. This matter is a bit strange.

Mu Feng joined Xue's family, so this child's surname is Xue, and has nothing to do with Mu's family.

What is the purpose of trying to snatch the child in front of so many people at this moment when she clearly knows about it?Is it true that without this child, there is no goal of living?Or was someone instigating her behind her back, promising her some benefits? !

Thinking this way in her heart, she looked at the old lady with unkind eyes.

I don't know if this kind of eyes angered the old lady, but the old lady Mu suddenly said loudly: "Do you think I don't know?! You just want to rely on my grandson to occupy a foothold in the Xue family, so that you can occupy the property of the Xue family !"

This tone is really familiar.

Gu Sixiao raised the corners of her mouth and laughed.

Although everyone around her was looking at her, she wasn't embarrassed at all.

"Old lady, who are you listening to nonsense?! Everyone in Jinan knows that I am the adopted daughter of the Xue family. Although my father treats me well, I am not Xue. How could it fall on my head?"

Looking at Mrs. Mu, she said in a deep voice: "Old lady, if you make a random guess, that's fine. If someone else taught you this, then this person has ulterior motives and evil intentions! I'd like to ask him face to face. , What was he thinking when he said these words?!"

After being pressed by Gu Sixiao, Mrs. Mu was also a little confused.

He hesitated for a long time, but didn't say a word.is blinking.

Then I heard a friend from outside singing promises: "Young Master Su Jingchun is here to hang..."

As soon as I heard Zhike's promise, before Su Jingchun entered the door, idlers already muttered: "Ah, that's right, Mrs. Gu is going to marry into the Su family, how could she still want to take over the Xue family's property? ? Speaking of which, the Su family is really a big family!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone nodded.

Old Madam Mu frowned and followed everyone's gaze.

She saw a plain-clothed man walking in from the door. Although he was dressed in simple clothes, he had a handsome face and an extraordinary demeanor. He was the only handsome man she had ever seen in her life.

Blinking her eyes, Mrs. Mu also murmured in her heart.

It makes sense to listen to what these people say.Could it be that the man really lied to her? !
The more she thought about it, the more she felt strange. She looked at Gu Sixiao with suspicion.

Seeing her appearance, Gu Sixiao also knew that she was suspicious.

At that moment, he said in a deep voice: "Old lady, that's all I have to say. Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me. Taking care of Dashan is entrusted by my second sister on her deathbed, and has nothing to do with the Xue family's property. You also There is no need to speculate anymore, I can swear to my sister's spiritual seat in front of everyone that I will not take half of the Xue family's property. If I violate this oath, I will not..."

Before she finished speaking, her mouth was already sealed with her fingers.

Frowning, Su Jingchun complained: "Where is the need to swear such a vicious oath?! Ask these people present, who thinks that you will take over the Xue family's property?"

While talking, he personally stepped forward, cupped his hands and asked, "Everyone, does anyone think that my fiancée, Su Jingchun, needs to occupy other people's property?!"

This question is really abrupt, even if it is an engagement, it is unreasonable to speak like this.

But Su Jingchun asked openly at this time, but no one dared to say anything bad.

Even those women looked at Gu Sixiao with envy, and felt that she was really blessed. She hadn't been married yet, and her fiancé just maintained it like this.

Following Su Jingchun's gaze, everyone in the room was smiling, not a single one had a cold face.

Gu Sixiao secretly sighed in his heart: Sure enough, people in the world are used to following others. If she said this, these people would doubt it, but Su Jingchun said that no one dared to doubt it.

Shaking her head, she turned around and looked at Mrs. Mu, and said in a flat voice: "Old lady, you have also seen it—no one thinks that I will take over the property of the Xue family. In this way, you should feel at ease."

After pursing her lips, Mrs. Mu didn't say anything, she just lowered her face, twisted her hands, and remained silent.

The matter at this end has been settled, and the intellectual at the other end also came over and said in a low voice: "Little lady, if you don't make the journey, I'm afraid you will miss the auspicious time. Master Chen and the others are still waiting!"

Nodding her head, Gu Sixiao was about to speak, when she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly froze.

From outside the mourning hall, a man wearing a green cloth shirt strode in.

As soon as she entered the door, she cried, "Wanhua, I'll see you off for the last time..."

"Li Chongyang!" His name came out from between his teeth, Gu Sixiao rushed over and shouted loudly: "Li Chongyang, how dare you come!?"

Turning her gaze, she didn't see any guards at the door, so she couldn't help being even more shocked, "You escaped from prison?!"

"What are you talking about, little lady?" Li Chongyang sneered, "Obviously the yamen has already found out, the murder case has nothing to do with me, and he was acquitted, how come I can escape from prison when I come to you!"

"Nonsense—" Gu Sixiao wanted to yell, but felt his hand tighten.

Turning around, it was Su Jingchun who held her hand.

Shaking his head, although Su Jingchun didn't speak, Gu Sixiao immediately understood.

What Li Chongyang said just now was not a lie, but the truth.

But how is it possible? !
Li Chongyang was clearly the murderer, how could he be innocent? !

How is this possible? !
