The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1168 Xue Shuyao

"Old slave Tan, originally served the old lady. But later, when the wife became pregnant with the young master, the old slave was assigned to the wife by the old lady to help the wife recuperate."

Seeing that Gu Chengyu's expression remained unchanged, Tan's mother hurriedly stopped and started talking about serious business.

"It was still drizzling that day, and the weather had turned to autumn. It was a bleak and cold day. The imperial court suddenly sent officials to besiege Xue's mansion. The leader of the officials said that it was a heinous crime for Xue's mansion to fornicate foreign countries. They Following the emperor's order to raid the house, Xue's generals were punished by the nine clans, and none of them could escape."

"At that time, the wife just had a seizure, and the girl was about to be born. The wife didn't know what happened to Xue's house. After the girl was born, she was picked up by the servants sent by the Zhen Guogong's mansion, but they gave the newborn girl to the house. left behind."

It wasn't the first time Liu Su'er had heard Tan's mother talk about this incident. At first, she thought that her mother was living for herself, so she ignored her and her brother's life and death.

However, when she heard Tan's mother say that she was holding her infant self in the capital to inquire about news, she found out that her mother had also died in the Duke's mansion.

Her boudoir name is Xue Shuyao, which was the name her father married before she was born.But she hadn't even seen her father's face before, so he went there.

Liu Su'er burst into tears like rain, and began to cry.

"You are a servant of Xue's mansion, why did you get out of Xue's mansion and not be sold together with those servants?"

Gu Chengyu raised his doubts, and as soon as he touched his lips, he wanted to believe them. Who knows if this is their conspiracy?

Could things in the world be so coincidental, as soon as I learned from Xue Miao that there was still a baby girl alive in the Xue family back then, a girl ran up and said that she was the baby girl.No matter who you are, you will have doubts in your heart.

"It's a coincidence that Xue's house was ransacked at that time. Regardless of gender, they were executed by Qiu Hou. The servants in the house were also sold out. Only the old slave and the head of the family were spared. Because it was the man who ransacked the house A month ago, the old slave was not in good health, and the old lady was afraid that the old slave would pass on his illness to his wife, and thinking that the old slave had served him for so many years and was still dedicated, she returned the contract of prostitution of the old slave and his wife. , went to the government to eliminate slavery."

She had served the old lady for many years, and the old lady knew that she was running out of time, so she bestowed her on her wife.

It's just that the wife already has a dowry mother to take care of her, how can she have much trust in her?
Although his wife respected her very much, her position was still a little awkward.

Later, when she caught a cold, the wife discussed with the old lady, and their slavery was revoked and they were allowed to return to their hometowns.

In fact, this is considered a great grace, no matter how rich and noble the mansion is, they are still just serving the master's servants after all.I am naturally happy to have the opportunity to eliminate slavery.

It's just that she and the head of the family have been married for many years and have not given birth to a son and a half daughter, which is really a pity.

But they have been quite respectable in the mansion these years, and they have saved a lot of money, so they can live affluently after they go out.

It was agreed that after the wife gave birth, they would leave the mansion again, which was considered to be the last bit of affection with Xue's mansion.Who knew that such a thing would happen on the day my wife gave birth.

Such a sudden incident caught the Xue family by surprise.

When the master was in court, he was imprisoned.At that time, the mansion was in a mess. The Xue family, which had a great reputation in the capital, fell apart overnight.

Those who will be returned to slavery will always have a bit of dignity in the mansion.Gu Chengyu was not interested in why Tan's mother was returned to slavery. Anyway, the person who took care of her in the end was not this woman, but probably a victim of Zhaidou!
Liu Su'er saw that Gu Chengyu seemed to know Xue's case very well, and how could he know that she was not entrusted to Tan's mother back then?
Moreover, just now Gu Chengyu didn't seem to be surprised that Mrs. Xue had an orphan. Could it be that Gu Chengyu knew that Mrs. Xue still had an orphan alive?

So how much does he know about Xue's case?Could it be that the other party is secretly investigating Xue's case?

Thinking of it this way, Liu Su'er's eyes couldn't help but shine brightly, and she was sure about the ensuing plea.

"At that time, there was another person who took Miss Liu away, but why did he stay with you later?"

Gu Chengyu wasn't worried that they would know that he knew a lot about Xue's case, and they didn't even find out that Xue Miao was in his hands.

He originally wanted to use Xue Miao to cast a long line to catch big fish, even though these people were sent by others, wouldn't this just muddy the water?
With Xue Miao in his hands, he was afraid that those people would not dare to come!

"Why does Master Gu know so much? Could it be that you met the girl who took me away?" Liu Su'er asked in a deep voice.

"These officials don't need to tell Miss Liu. I have my own way to know. You just need to answer my questions now."

Gu Chengyu wanted to see if what these people said was consistent with what Xue Miao said.

"The old slave didn't understand what was going on. When the Xue family was beheaded, the old slave and the head of the family had nothing to do with the Xue family. Later, after being investigated, they were released. It's just that the old slave didn't leave the capital at that time. Collecting the corpses for the old lady, but the government refused to let us, so there was nothing we could do. I wanted to leave here, and I would go back to my hometown after driving the carriage. But I didn’t want to meet Yilan, the maid of Xue’s mansion, on the street. The old slave is a little strange, Yilan It should have been sold, but why did it appear in Nancheng? So we followed and planned to find out."

"I didn't want to, but I saw a baby in her arms. The head of the house and I thought about it carefully, and we were sure that the baby was the baby girl that my wife had just given birth to. We didn't know what the reason was, and we wanted to ask. But suddenly Two stalkers rushed out and took Yilan away."

Speaking of this, Tan's mother still has lingering fears.

She went on to say: "The head of the house and I naturally had to step forward to stop them. The head of the house fought with those two people. The two men were still carrying knives. The head of the house was defeated and was cut on the arm by the other party. Old slave Before they had time to grab the girl, Yilan was snatched away by the two of them."

Uncle Qin stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves. Gu Chengyu looked over immediately, and there was indeed a scar about ten centimeters long.

"The villain was defeated by the two of them. He couldn't save Yilan at that time, and now I don't know where Yilan was sold, alas!"

Uncle Qin sighed. It is conceivable where a girl with a juicy appearance will be sold in the end.However, he was really helpless at that time, those two people were vicious people, swords have no eyes!
They still had the girl in their hands, so they couldn't carry the girl to find Yilan. At that time, the search of the whole city was not over yet.

"Maybe the old man entrusted the girl to Yilan? That's how we guessed later." Uncle Qin thought for a moment, then said.
