Chapter one hundred and seventy-four: secretly peeping the face
Butler Gu was a little unhappy, but there was no expression on his face. He also asked respectfully: "Mr. Chu has something to do?"
Chu Mo woke up and replied, "It's true that my father always wanted to marry his daughter into Gu's house. Now that this happened, I was afraid that the marriage would not be successful, but instead offended the princess. I wonder if Butler Gu has a way to ease it?"
Butler Gu pondered for a moment and whispered, "I can't figure this out. But there is one thing. The eldest princess has already explained that the third lady of the Chu family is a member of the Gu family and a ghost of the Gu family when she dies. Even if she is a corpse, she has to be carried into the Gu family's door. Mr. Chu has nothing to say."
Chu Moxing understood that this was asking Chu Yueli, whether she was alive or dead. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, butler Gu, to remind me."
Butler Gu smiled but said nothing.
Chu Moxing asked again: "I heard from my father that the Gu family is not prosperous, and the eldest princess has only two sons and one daughter. The day before yesterday, she saw another girl. Gu Hou called her the eldest sister."
When the housekeeper Gu heard this, he became wary and his smile restrained his legs, saying, "Young Master Chu, you and I are not outsiders. Just listen to a mere word. Don't ask about these things, it will be unfavorable for you and the Chu Mansion. Your Majesty should look for someone carefully. Take care of it." After saying that, he turned around and left, without giving Chu Moxing a chance to speak again. Such an attitude seemed gentle, but in fact it was very rude. However, if the Chu family had something to ask for, Chu Moxing could only whisper in a low voice, but he was unwilling to accept it.
Chu Moxing asked Ronghui and the coachman to carry real money and silver and some gifts to the door. Butler Gu's servant came out and carried the things in very naturally without a single word of unnecessary nonsense. He was obviously used to it.
Chu Moxing got on the carriage and gritted his teeth and cursed angrily: "Old man!"
The carriage returned to Chu Mansion.
Mrs. Chu, Lord Chu, and even Chu Shuyan were not sleeping, and were waiting for news from him.
When Chu Mo Xing said the result, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt lucky; when Chu Mo Xing said that Butler Gu wanted to be red, and he had already agreed, Master Chu's face twitched twice, and immediately gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "That old man is really... shameless!"
Mrs. Chu glanced at Mr. Chu and smiled and said, "It's so great. It's just a girl, I'll give it to me. In the future, if I can learn one or two useful news from Mr. Gu's mouth, even if I give him a hundred girls, it's worth it." When Mrs. Chu thought of giving Hongxiao, she felt refreshed, especially when she saw Mr. Chu's appearance of pain, she felt even more comfortable.
Mr. Chu's face turned dark, but he did not deny Mrs. Chu's words.
Chu Moxing continued, "For the sake of the present, we still have to find the third sister. We must find it if it is a human or a corpse."
Mr. Chu frowned, nodded, and said, "If she wasn't dead, where would this person go?"
Chu Mo woke up and replied, "Why don't you go and check Amu's life experience?"
Just as Lord Chu was about to nod, Mrs. Chu said, "It's too troublesome to investigate. Why don't I go to Qian Mansion to ask tomorrow."
Lord Chu sneered and said, "Your good cousin, I don't even see you."
Mrs. Chu said, "If he doesn't see me, it's OK. Anyway, I must ask one, one, two, two!" In fact, she was going to question Qian Yuxing, what was the rumors, and she agreed to only take Chu Yueli's life, so why did she push the Chu Mansion to the forefront?!
Lord Chu nodded, agreed with Mrs. Chu's statement, without saying anything, but sighed heavily.
Chu Mo woke up and said, "Then... what happened to find the third sister?"
Lord Chu said: "Tomorrow morning, send everyone who can be used to find me! I will also say hello to the government. I don't believe it, she can die without seeing the body!"
You can see people even if you are alive, but how can you see corpses when you die?
The Qian Mansion and the Chu Mansion both had to find Chu Yueli first and let her die. However, she lived in a small courtyard between Baiyun, very leisurely. The ups and downs outside seemed to have nothing to do with her. She argued with Baiyun every day and cheated on each other, and she was free and happy.
Although the Chu Mansion and Qian Mansion received the news that Gu Hou was temporarily safe, how could they sleep peacefully? After some preparations, it is inevitable that they must squeeze the weak Gu Hou out of their last little value.
The lights in the Chu Mansion were turned off, but everyone could not sleep peacefully. Even the lowest-class servants noticed the unusual smell and felt that the sky was about to change.
The second lady Chu Lianying tossed and turned, her heart rising and falling, as if she was stepping into the mud. It was even more difficult to get out.
The fourth lady Chu Xianglin couldn't get out of bed, so she lay on the bed biting the pillow and laughed, and she looked so scary. Now, she was extremely happy as long as she heard bad news from others.
The girl Cuiliu got up to change her medicine. Seeing her laughing like this, she suddenly felt a cold soles of her feet, but she had to get close.
Chu Xianglin looked at Cui Liu with a squinted look and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Cui Liu lowered her face and said, "No...I'm not afraid of anything."
Chu Xianglin stretched out his hand, touched Cuiliu's little hand, and said softly: "Cuiliu, don't worry, you are so careful with me, Miss, I remember your goodness. From now on, no matter where I go, I will bring you."
Cui Liu was not moved by this sentence, but felt creepy. In particular, Chu Xianglin was missing half of his front teeth, and the wind ran away as soon as he spoke. The wind fell on his skin, like a ghost blowing cold air, making people shudder.
Cui Liu retracted her hand unnaturally and said, "I will change the medicine for the lady."
Chu Xianglin closed his eyes and said quietly: "Okay."
In the ancestral hall, Chu Zhaoyue did not kneel, but sat on the futon and rubbed her knees. Her stomach was hungry, but she could do nothing.
Outside the door and at the window, Hongxiao and the wooden boat were used as ladders. Duobao, who was good at climbing, climbed to the small window while stepping on his shoulders, threw a package into the ancestral hall, landed on the ground, making a slight sound.
Chu Zhaoyue hurriedly looked around and saw Duobao's two big black eyes.
Duobao whispered: "Miss Fifth, eat." His body shook and said hurriedly, "Sister Hongxiao and Sister Muzhou can't hold on anymore, I'll...oh..." The whole person fell down directly.
Chu Zhaoyue's heart was slightly warm. At least a few people in this family had a warm blood. Although... they were just servants.
As for Chu Man'er, she secretly ran to Aunt Xu's place and talked with Chu Shuyan who came in the dark.
The three of them didn't lit candles and just talked in a low voice, no one could hear what they were saying.
The next day, Mrs. Chu went to see Qian Yuxing and wanted an explanation, but happened to catch up with Qian Bishui to hang herself. The entire Qian family was in a mess, and no one paid attention to Mrs. Chu's arrival.
Finally, Mrs. Chu found Mrs. Qian, who seemed to have calmed down, and asked the reason. Mrs. Qian just looked at Mrs. Chu with tears in her eyes, sighed heavily, and said, "Since ancient times, I have always been hurt by ruthlessness..."
