Chapter 225 The Relative Who Appeared Suddenly

After eating the last few mouthfuls of food, Gu Yun cleaned up the dishes on the table as much as possible, washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, wiped off the water stains on his mouth, and returned to the Luohan couch outside the bedroom, reclining contentedly.

After they sat down, Bai Kou came in with a freshly brewed tea cup and put it on the couch, while the maids in the main hall next door were clearing the dining table.

"I wanted to talk to you, but I was interrupted by your golden hammer, so I forgot." Gu Yun drank two sips of tea, seeing Bai Kou standing close, his fingers started to itch.

"What are your orders?" Bai Kou calmly moved away two steps when she saw the change in Gu Yun's eyes.

"Is there anything more about the girl's marriage?" Gu Yun ground his back molars and put down the teacup.

"Still doing background checks. With the lessons learned from last time, future candidates must be checked thoroughly before deciding whether to meet or not."

"It's quiet, how many people have you checked?" Gu Yun raised his brows high.

"There are three or four people, and there are all kinds of unsatisfactory places."

"September is almost halfway through. Is there any hope for this year? I promised to marry one this year."

"It's a big deal to ask Aunt Rong to see if her shopkeepers and managers have nephews of the right age. It's easier to find a two-legged man than a three-legged toad."

"You came up with the girl's good idea, you have to make it more beautiful, don't make people regret and be disappointed."

"sure."

Bai Kou nodded repeatedly, not too confidently, the background check was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and now she is not very confident whether she will be able to marry Meilun this year.

Seeing Bai Kou's tangled expression, Gu Yun knew that this matter might not go as smoothly as expected, so he stopped messing with her, took a few more sips of tea, got up and went to the study to study.

The next morning, Bai Kou finished her routine work, changed her clothes and rode on the street to buy some personal daily necessities. On the way back, she passed by the gate and was stopped by the servant at the gate, who told her to go to the east gate, where someone claimed to be her The wife of the family is waiting for her.

Bai Kou found it strange to hear that Bai Yehong was exiled, where did her family come from?

Hitting the horse, turning around and walking towards the east door, turning along the base of the wall, Bai Kou finally realized that all relatives from the paternal line were exiled with his grandfather Bai Yehong, but the married female relatives and maternal relatives were not implicated. If there is still Bai Kou's family in the capital , the closest blood relatives are aunts, elder sisters, grandfathers and uncles.

Bai Kou rode to the east door, the door was empty, only the woman and servants were chatting inside and outside the door, they saw Bai Kou coming, just said hello to her, and rushed out from a nearby alley For a commoner woman, she can have enough food and clothing to look at her clothing, which is far from a well-off life.

"Sister Kou! I'm your aunt! Do you still recognize me! I hugged you when you were young!"

The woman must have been in a hurry, and suddenly staggered in front of the horse's legs. Zao Ni was a little frightened, kicked her legs, and almost stepped on someone, so frightened that she dodged to the side, not daring to move too far forward, and then He turned around and yelled at the alley.

"Damn old man, come here quickly! Tell Sister Kou to recognize you!"

As soon as Bai Kou heard this, she knew something was wrong. Looking up, there was an unfit man walking out step by step on crutches from the entrance of the alley. He didn't know whether he was injured or sick, and his movements were extremely inconvenient. .

He had a small sarcoma on his left ear.

"On the sixth day of September in Bajingfang, the prince and his friends were drugged, including their horses and horses. The person who administered the drug pretended to be a field handyman. No one suspected his identity. There was a very obvious feature on that person. A small sarcoid."

Bai Kou sat firmly on the horseback, looked at the man who was walking slowly without stopping, and said loudly.

The servant at the door immediately understood the spirit and rolled up his sleeves, and the lady inside called out more men to come out and surrounded the couple tightly.

"Don't beat me to death, teach me a lesson, ask how you know my name, what you want to do when you come to recognize me as a relative, and then hand it over to Marquis Wu."

Bai Kou was too lazy to entangle with them, didn't even ask their names, and rode the horse back to the stables from the back street, returned the horse and returned to the Zhongming Courtyard.

Putting the things back in her room, changing her clothes, before she had time to wash her hands and face, Bai Kou came out again via the small kitchen to Jicheng Hall, talked to Mama Pang, and told her about the incident at the east door.

Pang's mother quickly made an arrangement and sent someone to tell the housekeeper, who would deal with the matter and find out whether the couple's exact identity was Bai Kou's relatives.

When Bai Yehong had an accident that year, Bai Kou was eight years old at the time, and she could not be expected to tell how many children her grandfather had in total. A couple suddenly appeared and said they were her aunt and uncle. It was a surprise to see a ghost .

And it's strange how the couple knew that their name was Bai Kou. The man with the tumor in his left ear seemed to have had a hard time, but it happened on the sixth day of September, and it was only the thirteenth day of September today, so he was able to go to the ground in just seven days. Walking around, this is also a person with some skills.

After Ms. Pang made some arrangements, she asked Bai Kou to go back to rest, and she went to see the eldest lady and told her about the matter.

The eldest lady fell in love as soon as she heard it, and waited patiently for the investigation by the big housekeeper, but a question that floated in her heart was the same as Bai Kou's thought.

"How did the couple know Bai Kou's name?"

"Bai Kou is a witness. She found the evidence of drug use. Maybe someone in Yingtian Mansion leaked it. It stands to reason that the man committed such a big crime and set up a scam to drug the rich and powerful son, but he didn't stay in prison in the end. , it can be seen that either there is someone behind him to support him, or he has the ability to clean up the relationship."

"I told the housekeeper to check it out carefully. It's not surprising that Bai Kou has relatives coming to the door. She didn't jump out of a rock. She was afraid that someone would pretend to be her relative. After all, she was still an ignorant girl when something happened to her family. I'm afraid I can't even count how many uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters I have."

"Yes, I'll be there soon." Mama Pang hurried out and went to the front to talk to the butler herself.

This kind of thing happened suddenly, and Bai Kou herself was very troubled that day. She had imagined the scene of meeting relatives one day more than once, but it was definitely not like this. There was no intimacy, only the expression in her eyes Calculate and use.

When Gu Yun returned home in the evening, he entered the gate. The big butler who had been waiting for him to go home immediately went up to him, told him what happened during the day, and sent someone to check the household registration at Yingtianfu's house, but it would take a day or two to wait. to have definite results.

Gu Yun frowned upon hearing this, and hurried into his courtyard.

Everything in the courtyard was normal, none of the old girls said anything about it when they washed their hands and changed their clothes, so it could be seen that they didn't know about it, Gu Yun calmed down a bit, and talked to Bai Kou after dinner.

Even the things that the housekeeper knows, the parents must also know, Gu Yun decided to listen to the opinions of the parents first, to see what they think.
