Sister-in-law Li didn't know if she thought too much about it, so she just replied, "I know."

"You go back to sleep. I'll sit here for a while. It's dark and rainy outside now, so I can't go outside. When it gets light tomorrow, I'll go to Gu's house to see Xiaonuan."

A girl is an outsider in other people's homes and is easily bullied. She often goes out to prevent the old godly woman from the Gu family from making things difficult for her daughter.

Sister-in-law Li wanted to say something else, but she was interrupted by Mrs. Zhang with a wave of her hand, "Go back."

After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Sister-in-law Li naturally couldn't say anything else. After all, the one she married was her mother-in-law's biological daughter.

If something really happened, what she said today would be evidence that her mother-in-law would not like her.

It’s still the same as before, listen more, speak less and do less.

But when she returned to the room, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have gone out to pour hot water, and now she came back without doing anything.

It's unrealistic to let her go out again now, just sleep.

The Gu family had just cheered for the rain from the sky, and sat back in the ancestral hall to discuss the issue of Gu timing.

"The banquet, we have talked so much, where did the time sequence go? We didn't find anyone else."

At this time, a clan leader with a snow-white beard and few hairs on his head shouted, "Yes! We have been discussing here for a long time and no one has been found. What are you talking about!"

When Zong Zheng heard that Gu Shixu was not there, a flash of light flashed in his turbid eyes, "The banquet, we are not suitable to report to the official now. It just rained tonight. Our county must use the rain to plant some food."

"The county magistrate definitely doesn't have time to take care of this matter, and Shi Jian is a member of our Gu family. It will not do our Gu family any good to expose this matter."

"It will also affect your reputation. You are going to take the imperial examination and have a bright future. You can't ruin yourself by doing this."

"The most important thing is that we can't find the timing. We can't hand over the person even if we report it to the official. Then the county magistrate will think that we are in the same group and we will be in trouble."

Gu Yanli sneered in his heart. He must be forced to give an explanation. It has come to this point, and he still needs to be used as an excuse.

Ridiculous, why, do you really think he will do what they want?
"Zong Zheng, it doesn't matter whether you take the imperial examination or not. If you, as a son of man, cannot uphold justice for your parents and brothers, then what is the use of the imperial examination?"

Gu Yanli's righteous and awe-inspiring look made Zong Zheng's face instantly turn ugly.

Doesn't this guy understand that I'm giving each other a step down?
Don't dwell on this matter.

After thinking for a long time, Zongzheng finally came up with a good idea, but this method offended people!
"The Sun family died at the hands of the Li family. The Li family and others committed the crime, killing their mother-in-law and harming their third uncle. They should really report it to the official."

The Li family is also a big family in the village, especially Li Zheng, who is Li's biological father.

Killing your mother-in-law is a serious crime, and the reputation of all the girls in the Li family will be dragged down by her.

"What do you think of this banquet?"

Gu Yanli lowered his eyes, looking sad, as if he was still grieving for the death of Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu, "Everything about the banquet will be subject to Zong Zheng's instructions."

"..."

This is really an old goblin meeting a thousand-year-old fox. No one wants to take responsibility or cast a shadow on their reputation.

Zong Zheng has never hated Gu Yanli as much as he does now.

"Hey, I'm not telling you. Uncle Zongzheng, your method may not work. Li's family is not Bai's. She doesn't have a natal family, so it's easy to handle. Li's natal family is in our village. If we report to the official like this, the Li family will probably Fight us till death!"

Gu Xiaocao has always known that he is not smart, but if he can think of this matter, why would Zong Zheng bring it up?
Do you want to make fun of everyone?In fact, all discerning people here know that Zong Zheng just wanted Gu Yanli to express his position and not hold Gu Shixu accountable.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, no one or twenty people had discussed the outcome.

After not sleeping all night, everyone's mental state was not very good, and their faces became increasingly ugly.

A gust of cold wind blew through the window, and Gu Yanli did not hesitate to pick up his once sick persona.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough," he said, and his face became abnormally red after coughing a few times.

Gu Xiaocao, who was next to him, was so frightened that he immediately held his eldest nephew's arm, "Yanli, are you okay? Hey, your body is too thin."

Zong Zheng's brows didn't loosen all night, and now he met Gu Yanli, who was "weak and unable to take care of himself". The wrinkles in his brows deepened, as if he could trap mosquitoes.

"Hey, it's a banquet. For the sake of our family, don't say anything. From now on, your children will give more sticks of incense to your mother and third brother. Let's just go there like this. Wait a few days and your mother and the others will be buried. For peace of mind, you can go to the county to cancel your household registration. There will be drought, no food, and starvation."

Zong Zheng doesn't want to quarrel with this little fox anymore. Gu Shixu is still unknown now, and he might be dead. The Gu family has only been watching the banquet for their whole life, so they can't let him get in bad shape.

"If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest early. How about asking a doctor to take a look at you?"

"No, cough, my body has always been like this. My wife has been treating me during this period, and it's much better. It's just that the weather suddenly changed last night, and my body is not good anymore. Anyway, it has always been like this before. , Zongzheng, uncles, please excuse yourself from the banquet."

"go Go."

Anyway, things have come to an end, so they don't hold back any more. The bad guys are in the clear, so they won't cause trouble.

By the time Gu Yanli returned home in one step or another, it was already very bright, but it was still raining and there was no sun in the sky.

When he stepped into the courtyard, he saw the once arrogant Gu Xiangxiang and the unruly and willful Gu Fangfang sitting under the porch, looking at him with red eyes.

Gu Fangfang's red and swollen eyes were filled with tears, "Brother, what did they say? What should we do? Wuwu..."

For her, the genius has collapsed now. Her mother is dead, her father is still unknown, her third brother is gone, and her second brother is the murderer.

How could she get married in such a situation?

More importantly, after her mother dies, she has to observe mourning for three years. When it ends, she will be almost 20 years old, so what good family would want her?

Gu Fangfang felt sad when she thought that she might have a second marriage in the future, or even marry a mud-legged woman, and she cried sincerely for a while.

"Brother, what should I do?"

Gu Xiangxiang was also panicked. She had divorced. How many people in her family besides her mother cared about her?

If her biological mother were not alive, none of her brothers would let her stay at home.

Now that my mother is gone, where should she go?

Gu Yanli saw the expectation deep in her eyes and smiled coldly, "Live if you can, and die if you can't."

These were the words she said in her previous life when he was vomiting blood and needed to buy medicine. In this life, he paid her back in full.

Gu Xiangxiang sat on the threshold, looking at the non-stop heavy rain outside the door, the light and shadow in her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.
