Chapter 212 Whistleblowing
"It's not because of that bitch Gu Xiaoxiao, she's the one who got us involved, by the way, father... You said just now that Feng Tianze has a powerful female guard, could it be that Gu Xiaoxiao disguised herself Yes? It's not easy for a woman in this world to become a top expert, I don't believe there can be another woman as powerful as Gu Xiaoxiao in this world." Gu Liyan frowned and said.

"Yes, Second Uncle, I also think it's more likely that it's Gu Xiaoxiao!" Gu Liruo echoed from the side.

"Master, you have to send someone to investigate carefully. If that female guard is Gu Xiaoxiao, we should inform the people of Haotian League so that they won't continue to deal with us." The second wife Chen said loudly .

"Not only won't they deal with us? They might even reward us, so that our whole family won't have to live such a ghostly life again." The third wife Jiang said hastily.

Because of offending the Haotian League, their Gu family was completely abandoned by all their relatives and friends. Now everyone is afraid of having anything to do with them, even her natal family no longer associates with them.

Under the suppression of the Haotian League, their Gu family's property was almost robbed by others. Now they only live on a little money, and they will soon be sitting on nothing.

These female relatives have already pawned all their valuable jewelry and clothes, and now they are wearing very ordinary clothes, outdated fabrics, let alone the ones on their heads, which are all flowers in the garden, shabby To the extreme.

"Father, Liruo and I's faces have been ruined. If we still want to restore our appearance, we have to buy the very hot beauty pills that are sold in the capital recently. I have already asked, as long as a few pills, we can It is more beautiful than in the past, and now... Our Gujiapoor jingle, today's lunch, we are a family of eight, just a big bowl of porridge, three small dishes, it is simply too shabby, for our future Thinking about it, I have to find out about this matter, and my intuition tells me that the female guard is Gu Xiaoxiao in disguise." Gu Liyan said loudly, with a hint of excitement in her words.

If the female guard was really Gu Xiaoxiao, then their Gu family would definitely get a lot of benefits if they went to inform her, and their face would be saved.

"I've already sent someone to ask. That female guard looks very ordinary, and she's also very petite. She's half a head shorter than Gu Xiaoxiao. It's definitely not her." Gu Weide shook his head and said.

"Really?" The second lady couldn't believe it.

"Hmm!" Gu Weide nodded slightly.

"The world today is different from the past. What kind of strange things are there? What if Gu Xiaoxiao happens to be proficient in a special kung fu and can change her body shape and appearance? It's better for my father to send someone to investigate A person's appearance and body shape can change, but some of her habits will not change, if I can let my daughter observe her from a distance, maybe I can find clues." Gu Liyan said in a low voice.

Gu Weide's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he also felt that what his daughter said made sense.

"Then think of a way, let Li Yan stay away and take a sneak peek at that female guard." Chen said hastily.

"Okay!" Gu Weide gritted his teeth and nodded, intending to try his best.

"Mother and the third child have not spoken, do you have a better idea?" Gu Weide turned his head to look at the old lady and Gu Wei'an, and asked in a low voice.

"You can do whatever you want, my old lady doesn't care." The old lady shook her head.

"I listen to my second brother for everything." Gu Wei'an whispered.

"Okay, I'll make some arrangements." Gu Weide nodded and left quickly.

In order to save candles, the members of the Gu family quickly dispersed.

Early the next morning, Gu Liyan got up from the bed, washed up quickly, and found a silk flower to wear on her head.

It's the beginning of February now, the weather is still a bit cold, and there are no flowers in the garden in the mansion. She has worn this silk flower for a long time, and it is so old that it has become discolored and faded, but she still has to wear it.

This is also a matter of no choice. In order to survive, all the valuable gold and silver jewelry and clothes of her and the female family members in the mansion were pawned by her father at the pawnshop and exchanged for cash.

After all, there are still more than a dozen people in this family of masters and slaves, and everyone's usual food and clothing expenses are not a small sum of money.

All the shops and fields of the Gu family were taken away by the people of the Haotian League, and now they are just sitting and eating.

I heard from my mother that after my father pawned the gold and silver jewelry and clothes, he got several thousand taels of silver, but the silver was all with his father and kept by his father. One or two.

Even if she really wants to buy a beauty pill to see if her disfigured face can get better, she can only bear it, because this family can't afford it now, no matter how willful and noisy she is, Father would never agree.

Today's father is much stricter to her than in the past. If she doesn't obey her father's orders, she will be scolded.

"Miss, it's time to have breakfast." The servant girl walked in and said in a low voice.

Gu Liyan sighed upon hearing this.

Now, she and her parents have only one servant girl serving her. As the head of the family, her father has a young servant by her side, but she and her mother can only serve this servant girl together.

You know, they used to be so beautiful, and they never dreamed that they would be reduced to where they are today.

Has Gu Liyan ever regretted it?The answer is yes.

Although she hated Gu Xiaoxiao, sometimes in the dead of night, she couldn't help but think that if she hadn't dealt with this cousin at the beginning, then with Gu Xiaoxiao's temperament of digging out her heart and lungs for her relatives, she would definitely Be nice to them.

Now, even though Gu Xiaoxiao is wanted by the Haotian Union, there is no news about him. This is enough to prove that Gu Xiaoxiao is still at large, and he may be more comfortable and happy.

She really wanted to live the days when she was in charge of the wind and rain, and she really wanted to continue to be the eldest lady of her own family.

Sighing, Gu Liyan slowly walked to the front hall.

A large family of eight gathered in the front hall for dinner. Gu Liyan was surprised to find that the breakfast on the table today was much richer. There was a big bowl of buns and steamed buns, as well as fried eggs and vegetable porridge.

"Why is the second son so generous today and feeds us so well?" The old lady looked at her son and asked with a smile, but there was a hint of irony in that smile.

It is true that the family of their Gu family has fallen into a precarious life, and now the mansion is counting on the few thousand taels of silver to live on. Ordinary people's families can't compare. She has had opinions on her son for a long time.
