The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

"The enmity between me and the Gu family cannot be resolved without death."

Gu Shiwei said, staring at Uncle Lou with burning eyes.

Compared with three years ago, he seemed to be much older all of a sudden. There were more white hairs on his head, and he didn't know when the spots unique to the old man appeared on his face.

"My father and I both remember the friendship between uncle Lou and me. Is it because of my father's affairs that the Gu family asked you to be the concierge?"

In the past, Gu Lou was the chief steward of the Gu family and was deeply trusted by Mr. Gu. Now it seems that his status in the mansion has plummeted.

Gu Lou shook his head. He looked at Gu Shiwei and smiled softly, as friendly and approachable as Gu Shiwei remembered.

"I don't care if I don't talk about it. The Gu family is heading north, and a southern barbarian like me who can't speak Mandarin well is out of date. The girl persuaded me to go back to Yuezhou that day. I have already resigned and will wait until I see Miss Qing. Once I get married, I’m leaving.”

"It can be considered a beginning and an end."

The Gu family has a shallow background. Where did they come from with so many children passed down from generation to generation?

Most of the first group of elderly people in the house were fellow villagers. When Gu Lou was young, he and Mr. Gu were good brothers who wore the same pair of crotchless pants.

It's just that time has passed, and some people have long forgotten the way they came.

Gu Shiwei felt sad in his heart, but thinking that Gu Lou couldn't be out for too long, he sighed softly and directly asked the purpose of his visit.

"Uncle Lou, let me make a long story short. I have a few questions for you."

She said, took a step forward, lowered her voice, and suppressed the murderous intention in her heart, "My little brother died that day. When I rushed to the house, I didn't see his appearance. Later I asked my grandmother, and she said he died young. Their children cannot be buried in their ancestral graves.”

"According to the custom of my hometown, I will take you out and bury you in a coffin. Did the doctor who delivered the baby say anything at that time?"

It was dusty when she came back. When she entered Chengmingyuan, white flags had already begun to hang in the courtyard.When Mrs. Gu saw her coming, she hugged her and cried bitterly.Her heart was heavy at that time, and the baggage in her hands fell to the ground.

Then he immediately rushed into the delivery room. The room was filled with a strong smell of blood and the smoky smell of mugwort.

My mother lay motionless on the bed with a pale face. She had been cleaned up and put on pajamas that looked strange to her and didn't fit particularly well.At that moment, she felt like she was struck by lightning. She couldn't believe that Zuo Tang, the heroine who could fight tigers with her bare hands, would lie on the bed so lifelessly.

At that time, her grandmother kept chanting in her ear, "Good boy, cry! If you don't cry, your mother will be reborn as a mute in her next life!"

She couldn't cry and knelt there.

When she finally came to her senses and believed this was true, she thought of asking about the unborn child.

Gu Shiwei thought about it, and without waiting for Gu Lou's answer, he continued to ask, "Does my little brother look weird?"

Gu Lou was startled, obviously not expecting Gu Shiwei to ask this question.

He shook his head in surprise, "What's weird? I did go to bury the young man, but I didn't see what he looked like."

"That day, Mrs. Zuo looked like she was not well. She was bleeding and the baby was still not born. I was waiting in the hospital when the master suddenly asked me to invite a doctor. He also said that Dr. Tang was a sage in gynecology. If he comes, mother and son will be safe, and he even wrote a greeting note in his own hand."

"I didn't dare to stop after taking it, so I hurried over. But Imperial Physician Tang was not at home. The Tang family said that Concubine Su in the palace was going to give birth in ten months. Imperial Physician Tang had been in the palace for two months and had not returned. I'm home." "I didn't know what to do at the time. I was about to go to Ping'an Hall to ask the doctor nearby to come and see me, but I didn't expect to meet the Tang brothers at the door. They were tired of traveling, and I heard that they had just returned to Bianjing City. Earlier, I went to collect herbs in a few days."

Gu Shiwei listened carefully and sneered.

So that was the case, she said, if the Gu family had the intention to kill her mother, why would they be so kind as to go to the Tang family to invite people to see her.

Don't they feel guilty?
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that the family was doing it again!Even though he knew that no one in the Tang family was at home, he still asked Gu Lou to go there in a hurry. Not only would everyone in the capital praise them for treating their daughter-in-law well, but Gu Younian would also have an explanation.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lou happened to bump into Tang Dalang and Tang Erlang who were returning to the city.

"After returning home, the old lady did not agree with the two doctors to go in at first. She felt that they were young men and women who could not be searched and it was not in compliance with the rules. It was the master who asked them to go in. The lady was already in a very bad condition at that time, so I just followed the arrangement. Let’s go prepare for the funeral in advance.”

As Gu Lou said, he glanced at Gu Shiwei cautiously.

He thought for a while and then continued, "I went there for a while, and then Dong Ge, the maid next to the madam, came over to look for me, saying that your mother-in-law was there. The old lady asked me to bring a Weng altar and put Xiao Lang in it. You restrained me. When I went there, the child was wrapped up tightly and his face could not be seen."

"I wrapped it in white cloth and buried the child in the bamboo forest behind Chengmingyuan according to the custom handed down from my ancestors, which is the place where you later went to worship."

Gu Shiwei clenched his fist.

"I see that Chengmingyuan is gone now and has been moved to Princess Fushun's Mansion. Is my little brother still there?"

Gu Lou nodded, he hesitated for a moment, and couldn't bear to look at Gu Shiwei, "But then Chengmingyuan was demolished. Emperor Ji didn't like bamboo groves, but liked peach trees. That area has now become a peach grove. The jar is still buried under the ground, but the tombstone is gone.”

Gu Shiwei took a deep breath.

"Po Wen who delivered the baby at that time, and Chun Xing, do you know where they are now?"

After her mother passed away, Chun Xing stayed in Chengmingyuan for a while. Later, she was released when she reached an age.

As for the old lady beside Mrs. Gu, she was still there when she left the Gu family.

She had never suspected that there was a problem before, so she never paid attention to it.

Gu Lou shook his head, "There has been no news since Chun Xing left. The stable mother-in-law Liu who was invited from outside passed away a few years ago. Later, the house was replaced by a midwife named Ai."

"On the contrary, the one beside the old lady is still here to serve me."

Gu Shiwei listened carefully and did not continue to ask any more questions.

"Thank you, Uncle Lou. You have been out for so long, it's time to go back. When you leave Bianjing one day, I will go and see you off."

Gu Lou sighed lightly, "I just didn't help the girl..."

He said, hesitated for a moment, and then added, "Chun Xing is not completely clueless. She has a younger sister named Chunjiao who is still in Bianjing."
