Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 57

The Gu family began to get busy. The matter of ancestry recognition was handed over to Mrs. Yan, but within two days, she complained a lot. There was no other reason. Clearly, when I come back to criticize my subordinates, the servants will naturally feel resentment in their hearts. In addition, it is Yan's first time to take over such an important matter, and he is naturally a little proud in his heart, as if the housekeeping power of the family has fallen into her hands. I want to interfere with other things.

The weather was already very hot at the end of June, and the Mu family still arranged the heatstroke prevention and cooling of each house and courtyard, and did not intervene or express any opinions on the matter of ancestor recognition, but in the second wife's yard, Gu Yuzhi was running around in a hurry, more than half a month passed Oh, Qingqiu who was driven out that day, only a few hours later, the person disappeared, as if he disappeared in Lin'an City.

"My lord, it's the son of the elder brother who recognizes the ancestor and returns to the clan. At most, Qingqiu is an outsider. The old lady refuses to let her into the Gu family. Why are you so nervous?" Yan Shi looked a little apprehensive, several times, That Qingqiu cried in front of the master, her tenderness made Yan look down on this woman from the bottom of her heart.

"You know what, this woman is gone. If someone says that this child is not the elder brother's, who will testify!" There is no need to stay in Gu's residence anymore, Mrs. Gu still wants the Mu family to raise this child under the name of Da Lang and her as a legitimate son.

But Gu Yuzhi knew best in his heart whether that was the eldest brother's son. In case something went wrong, this woman would be the most favorable evidence. It was just after listening to his mother's words and rushing out for a while, he could find someone to pick him up , the person disappeared.

"It's all there, you've checked it out. Isn't that the eldest brother's child? If this woman joins the Gu family, it will ruin the reputation of the Gu family." Seeing his nervousness, Yan said, "Maybe she left by herself."

Gu Yuzhi didn't say much to her, he left the house and walked out of the mansion, seeing that the day of recognizing the ancestors had been chosen, and it didn't take many days, if something went wrong at this critical juncture, all this was in vain.

While Gu Yuzhi was nervous, Yin Huan walked into the shop in Qianyu Pavilion, North City, Lin'an City, greeted shopkeeper Li, went straight to the third floor, turned the corner and walked into a private room, signaling the guards to move away. After getting out of the cabinet, Yin Huan bent down and walked into the secret room inside, lit by a weak candle, and there were no windows around.

There is a bed and two tables in the secret room. The candles are lit very high. There is a person tied to the bed. It is Qingqiu who has been missing for many days. At this moment, her hair is scattered in a mess, except for her face. It's like when I first came to Gu's mansion.

Seeing someone coming in, Qingqiu raised his head and murmured, "Let me out."

Yin Huan took a bowl of water from Qing Ya's hand, jumped onto the bed, and moved the bowl to Qing Qiu's side. Qing Qiu quickly drank all the water with his head down, and then looked helplessly at the fragrant water in Qing Ya's hand. food.

"It's been so many days, and the second uncle hasn't come to look for you. I'm afraid he thought you were dead." Qingqiu regained consciousness and leaned against the wall, "I don't understand what you said, Miss Seven, you and I No injustice, no enmity, if you tie me up like this, then the Gu family can't find anyone, and you will be in trouble."

"Trouble?" Yin Huan laughed, seeing her in a mess, Yin Huan picked up a candle and put it close to her face, "You haven't seen me before, how do you know I'm Miss Seven? You've done a lot of homework, Mrs. Gu only cares about the children and doesn't care about you, it's better if you die and disappear, lest someone use the Gu family's excuse to say that the father is not, do you think the Gu family will send someone to look for you?"

"Even if you die here, no one will know, and your child is in Gu's house, what do you think will happen to him?" Hot candle oil dripped on Qingqiu's neck, and she backed away in pain. The flames kept approaching and scalded her face.

Yin Huan murmured in a low voice, "Did you know that many people died in the big pond of the Gu family, as long as a big stone is tied to the person's body and it sinks, no one will know about it in the middle of the night. They won’t come up, and within a few days, they’ll all be fish food.”

"You...what do you want." Qingqiu was terrified, and was locked up here for half a month, with only a bowl of water and a steamed bun every day, starving and falling asleep, but not starving to death, dizzy and very uncomfortable, Now listening to what Miss Gu Jiaqi said, I can't escape, and my life is in the hands of others, and I'm even more afraid.

"Tell me about your son's father." Yin Huan sat down and put the candlestick on the table, "After staying in Hengguan for so many years, you must have learned the dialect of Hengguan well."

"I live in seclusion, I don't talk to people, and I don't know how to speak." Qingqiu quickly explained, "Yitian is really Dalang's child."

"Don't call me Dalang, you can call my father's name." Yin Huan suddenly interrupted her sharply, "You are locked here today, you can't get out, and you won't get any benefit. You say you are Why bother?"

"Miss, Second Miss has come to the shop." Just as he was speaking, someone outside the secret room suddenly announced, Yin Huan looked at Qingqiu, "Think about it carefully, once this person dies, he won't be able to ask for anything."

Yin Huan walked out quickly. Just as she reached the second floor, Gu Yinshuang happened to come up. When she saw her coming down, she smiled and said to shopkeeper Li behind her, "What can Seventh Sister be up to, isn't she here?"

Shopkeeper Li smiled sheepishly, Yin Huan signaled him to go to work, and took Gu Yinshuang to the private room on the second floor, "Second Sister, why come here when you have time."

Gu Yinshuang opened the door and glanced towards the third floor, then turned around and asked her, "Seventh sister, I heard your footsteps coming down from the third floor just now, what is the building on the third floor?"

"The third floor is also a private room, I'm just going up to inspect it." Yin Huan bought a cup of tea for her, "Second Sister hasn't said why she came here yet."

"Seventh Sister is so excited, this is imminent now, and she can still be so indifferent." Gu Yinshuang sat down, holding tea with no intention of drinking.

"Why do you want to talk about it?"

"The children of Gu's parents and sons who were wandering outside have all been found. They will recognize their ancestors in the near future. Seventh sister, if you want to go back to Zhuqingyuan, let me know in advance. I will send someone to clean your house. It has been so many years." , I'm afraid they won't be able to live there anymore." Seeing her calm expression, Gu Yinshuang couldn't help but say another sour sentence.

"Recognition of ancestors has nothing to do with whether I go back to Zhuqingyuan. I am a child of my mother's step-father. If he recognizes his ancestors, I will have another brother." Yin Huan picked up the almonds on the plate and ate them, looking up Gu Yinshuang, "Second Sister, is this what you are doing?"

"Gu Yinhuan, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? That child is going to take everything from his uncle and raise him under the name of the eldest lady, but as a legitimate son, you are an adopted child. Maybe the old lady will let you You go back to the Zhuqing Courtyard, the eldest lady has already taken care of her, so you don’t have to use it, Seventh Sister.” Gu Yinshuang pursed her lips and smiled, she just wanted to watch Gu Yinhuan come out of the Bauhinia Courtyard, when the time came Go back to Zhuqingyuan and see if she is still as calm as she is now.

"Second sister, how much do you want me to return to Zhuqingyuan, but I'm afraid I will disappoint second sister. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to this Zhuqingyuan. Second sister should pay more attention to her own marriage. My sister’s marriage is all settled, I wonder how the fourth aunt will choose a house for the second sister.” Yin Huan was drinking tea slowly, when suddenly there was a sound of falling upstairs, Gu Yinshuang got up and opened the door. Door.

"Seventh Sister, it's really noisy upstairs. I'll go up and see what happened." After saying that, Gu Yinshuang walked up by herself, but Qing Ya couldn't stop her. Yin Huan's expression darkened, and she immediately got up and followed. go up.

Gu Yinshuang walked up to the third floor, and slammed open the room opposite the private room on the second floor. The people sitting inside were startled, and turned their heads to look at her, "Who is it!"

Gu Yinshuang took a look, there were only a few people in the room, the sound seemed to be the sound of tables and chairs falling, and there seemed to be a puddle of water on the ground, so she was a little embarrassed, and the leading lady shouted at the door, "Why? What's going on, where's the shopkeeper!"

"I'm sorry everyone, my sister is a little bit, I hope you don't blame me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yin Huan walked over, pointed to his head, and apologized to the people in the room.

After walking downstairs and closing the door, Gu Yinshuang looked back at her, angry for the first time, "Gu Yinhuan, who do you think has a problem here?"

Yin Huan changed the expression of apologizing just now, and pointed to his head, "Second sister, you ran up so excitedly when you heard a little movement, and rushed in without asking, isn't there a problem? As soon as you go out, you follow, tell me, what do you want to do."

Yin Huan didn't be polite to her anymore, she just went out for a long time, and people followed her out. As soon as she got here, she looked for herself, her eyes were still looking at the third floor. Just now there was such a little movement, her expression was more excited than anyone else, as if she had discovered something like that.

"I heard that Qingqiu who brought the young master back disappeared, and the person disappeared after leaving the Gu family. Seventh sister, second sister knows that you are worried that your identity will change, but there is no need to use such a move to hide people If people find out, it would be a serious crime." Seeing what she said, Gu Yinshuang sat down calmly, picked up an exquisite teacup and played with it in her hand.

"What's mine will always be mine. It's useless for me to hide him. The child still has to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan. But second sister, how do you know that Qingqiu is gone? Mrs. Gu asked someone to drive her out , did not let people silence." Yin Huan looked at her and smiled, this is cleverness but being misunderstood by cleverness, thinking that he can catch something by following him, so that he can claim credit in the Gu family and remove her from the status of stepdaughter pull down.

"Seventh sister, if you really kidnap someone, the second sister can forgive me, but if someone finds out, you can't even go back to Zhuqingyuan. In order to prevent the uncle's child from returning to Gu's house, you are so cruel. The corner of Gu Yinshuang's mouth twitched into a smile, and he looked down at the window. There was the sound of shopkeeper Li seeing off the guests outside the door. Yin Huan heard the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs, glanced at the door, and smiled nonchalantly. , "It seems that the second sister has always cared about Yin Huan."

"Although you are in the Bauhinia Courtyard, you are still my own sister after all, how can I not care about you." Gu Yinshuang's eyes were full of sincerity, and she wanted to fully interpret the sister's affection.

There was a sudden noise downstairs in Qianyu Pavilion. There was the sound of a carriage suddenly stopping. Yin Huan stood up and went to the window to look. He was really an acquaintance. When he came down, the smile on Yin Huan's face became more obvious.
