My husband is a traitor

Chapter 275 Cool Thin, Secret Meeting

Gu Mingzhu sat down dejectedly, scratching her hair in puzzlement, she felt that in just a few days, so many things happened that knocked her into pieces, it almost made her want to collapse.

But Mammy's words gave her an astonishing clue——

Mother didn't fall ill because of her loss of virginity, so why didn't father let her see mother.And the nanny said that my mother was killed by my father...

How is this possible!
But she thought of her father's cold and stern expression, and that merciless slap, the old father-daughter relationship seemed to no longer exist.

She had to suspect that her mother's illness was related to her father.

Looking at the food that was about to get cold in front of her, she pursed her dry lips. After a while, she reached for the chopsticks and mechanically stuffed food that looked like chewing wax into her mouth.

She wants to fill her stomach, she wants to see her mother, and she wants to ask clearly!
At this time, Gu Minglan was in the study, listening to Gu Shengchang's questioning.

"Minglan, I heard that you tipped off the letter?" Gu Shengchang threw the letter in front of him to Gu Minglan, which contained the contents of his investigation.

It is related to the whole story of Gu Mingzhu's loss of virginity in the hot spring palace.

Gu Minglan's face turned pale, and when she heard this, she knelt down, put her hands in her wide sleeves, lowered her face, and her long eyelashes trembled.

After a long while, I replied softly, "I...return to father, my daughter doesn't know that elder sister wants to..."

This father has always been partial to the elder sister. Now that he knows that she helped Lin Lang escape, he is afraid that he will not feel better.

But unexpectedly, Gu Shengchang tapped his fingers on the table lightly, his face changing unpredictably. After a while, he laughed softly, like a gentle father, and said to Gu Minglan, "You child, I just Ask, don't be afraid. Father will not punish you."

Gu Minglan raised her head in surprise and pursed her pink lips, but she didn't know how to respond for a moment. It was so weird that her father would talk to her so gently...

"Get up. You are also my daughter, Miss Qianjin of the Duke Protector's Mansion, don't just kneel down." Gu Shengchang still had a gentle and loving face, and raised his hand, motioning Gu Minglan to get up and sit down to answer.

With an uneasy mood, Gu Minglan grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, sat down docilely, lowered her head, her eyes were flickering with anxiety.

"I don't blame you for this matter. Since it happened, I can only marry your elder sister to Prince Ouyang. However, even if you are not on good terms, you are sisters after all. There are some things that I hope you will rot in your stomach. Don't Go out and talk nonsense, can it be done?" Gu Shengchang looked at this concubine who was not valued by him with some scrutiny in his eyes.

Gu Minglan hurriedly stood up and promised, "Daughter dare not. Don't worry, father, Minglan won't say anything."

Regardless of whether she and Gu Mingzhu have any grievances or not, this is a scandal that cannot be spread outside the public. Gu Mingzhu has already received the punishment she deserved, and there is no need for her to make trouble again.

Gu Shengchang nodded in satisfaction. Although this second daughter is not outstanding, she is docile and obedient.

He gave a few more symbolic reminders, and finally said, "Yu Wang came here today and said that the marriage has been settled. You will get married in three months. Look, your aunt left early. If you need anything, you can talk to the housekeeper." My son told me. Father will not treat you badly for the dowry you deserve. But when you get married, you must also remember that you are the lady of the Duke Protector's Mansion, and don't forget your duty."

Hearing this, Gu Minglan's drooping eyes finally had ripples, and she responded with a gentle voice.

"Well, go. Go back and rest earlier."

"Daughter retire."

Gu Minglan blessed herself and left the study.

As soon as he went out, his eyes turned cold.

It's really cold, even if the jewel in the palm of your hand, so what about Gu Mingzhu, who was born in the first place, why don't you just throw it aside when you commit a crime?
In the final analysis, it was only because her status as the quasi-yu princess brought satisfaction and benefits to this father that she was so polite and loving.

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Xiaofu couldn't help asking, holding the lantern, seeing Gu Minglan's beautiful face full of sorrow.

Gu Minglan clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and said quietly after a while, "It's nothing."

I just can't wait to leave this corrupt and ruthless Duke's mansion.

……

On the other side, it's night.

Jiang Linlang took a bowl of lotus seed soup and went to Rong Jue's study, but the housekeeper told her, "Madam, Your Excellency has entered the palace."

She raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard the words, "Oh, did he say when he would come back?"

The butler thought for a while, "No, but my lord told the old slave to tell his wife that there is no need to wait for him to eat together."

Jiang Linlang pursed her lips slightly, her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she smiled, "Okay. I see."

Carrying the tray back to the room, Jiang Linlang held the red rope around his neck hesitantly, tightened the line of his lips, and his brows were full of worry.

"Senior sister, I'll sneak out for a while, and I'll be back soon. If Rong Jue comes back, remember to cover for me!" Jiang Linlang went to Mu Youran's room, thought for a while, asked her to change her appearance, and then wore her clothes, pretending to be her and going out.

Mu Youran crossed her arms, frowned and sized Jiang Linlang up and down, she couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't it just for a trip? Rong Jue sees you so closely?"

Do you need to pretend to be her when you go out?
Jiang Linlang's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "I'm going to Ruyang Palace to do something. You know, Rong Jue didn't agree with me going out before, and now that something happened, he doesn't agree anymore. Oh, okay Senior Sister, please help me!"

Facing Jiang Linlang's hard work, Mu Youran wordlessly shook off her hand, "Okay, okay, stop arguing, let's go."

After finishing speaking, she took the medical book and continued to study her medical skills.

Jiang Linlang thanked her with a smile, and went out.

All the way out of the Prime Minister's Mansion without arousing suspicion, Jiang Linlang first pretended to walk around the Ruyang Palace.

Then he changed into men's clothes again, wrapped up the women's clothes, and threw the burden into a corner of an alley to hide.

After vigilantly observing the next four weeks, after not finding any suspicious people following him, he bought a riding horse and rode all the way to the suburbs, the destination——

cemetery.

It was already dark, she held a sword, carefully stepped on the weeds, and went up the mountain step by step, the surrounding was quiet, and occasionally there were a few crows.

Her heart was trembling, but she still bit the bullet and walked towards the tombstone.

When she came to the grave of her parents and younger brother, she put the prepared daughter Hong in front of her parents' grave, and took a candied haws and put it in front of her younger brother Jiang Ying's tombstone.

"Father, mother, baby, I'm here to see you."

Holding the tombstone, she wiped the dust and dew from the cold night, with a gentle smile on her face.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of something. She pushed aside a few strands of weeds in front of the tombstone, and saw a bunch of withered lilacs and chrysanthemums.

She pursed her lips tightly, and suddenly the tips of her ears moved, the long sword in her hand was unsheathed, and she stabbed straight back——

"Ah-"
