Chapter 68 Clue 1
Gu Chongyang couldn't help being a little disappointed.

Gu Chongyang has impressions of these two people, but neither of them is served by his mother.What she wanted to find most in her heart were Heng Wu and Du Ruo.

"Is it just the two of them? Is there no one else?"

"No more." Gu Tailai shook his head: "According to them, the others all died of illness after arriving at Zhuangzi."

"Dead of illness!" Gu Chongyang couldn't hide his astonishment: "Everyone except them?"

"Yes!" Gu Tailai nodded, his face could not bear it: "That's what they said."

Gu Chongyang suddenly fell silent.

They didn't die of illness, maybe they encountered an accident.

There were more than [-] people serving her mother, except for Nanny Qiu, there were only two people left alive.

Especially Heng Wu and Du Ruo, who are the big maids who are close to the mother. Originally, the mother planned to find a suitable family for them to marry after the new year.Or the servants in the mansion, or the stewards in the shop, in short, they will not be wronged.

But in a blink of an eye, they were all dead.

That man has such a cruel heart and such vicious methods!

Gu Chongyang blinked, forcing back the sour tears in his eyes.

Crying can't solve the problem. Compared with being sad, she has more important things to solve now.

"Tailai, where are Granny Zhong and Biyun now?"

"Live in the backyard of the shop where my master used to be an errand." Gu Tailai said, "Because I didn't get your instructions, I didn't dare to bring them into the mansion. Miss, when will you bring them in."

"You've done a good job." Gu Chongyang said: "You don't need to bring them in, you can settle them down. I'll find a chance to go out and meet them in the next few days."

If you bring people in, they will definitely be discovered.Now she is just a ten-year-old girl, without freedom, unable to do anything.

She even had to report to her elders when she went out.

My mother's shop was on Liulichang Street, next to Xuanbeifang.And the Shen family's mansion in the capital is next to Xuanwumen Street in Xuanbeifang.As long as she said to see her uncle, no one would doubt her.

That night, Gu Chongyang personally led a food box to the fourth master's study.

I'm afraid it won't work to ask the old lady to let her go out, so I can only ask my father.

After his mother passed away, his father moved out of the Rongdong Courtyard and lived in the study in the outer courtyard because he was afraid of seeing things and thinking about others.

My father had just gone to Guanglu Temple as an errand, and he was very conscientious, so he was naturally very busy, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment.Gu Chongyang hadn't spoken to his father for five or six days.

Seeing that Gu Chongyang was coming, Qingbo, the young servant next to the fourth master, immediately ran in to report the news, while Bibo took the food box in Gu Chongyang's hand, and led her to go in: "The lights in this study are dark, not as bright as the inner courtyard, miss be careful underfoot."

"Father is okay these days. Do you eat enough meals? How's your appetite? Do you still go to bed late like a few days ago? Are there many things in office?"

Her mother is gone, only her father is her next of kin.

Bibo couldn't help but pause when he heard that, when the Fourth Madam was alive, she would also ask about the Fourth Master with concern when she saw him.Unexpectedly, Fourth Miss would also ask, her tone and demeanor were very similar to Fourth Madam's, she was not a ten-year-old child at all, she was clearly a very sensible adult asking questions.

He braced himself up and didn't dare to neglect in the slightest: "The fourth master doesn't eat much, but it's much better than before. The fourth master just took office and just finished the New Year, and there are so many things left by his predecessor. The master is busy until late at night every day, although he sleeps late, but because he is tired during the day, he can still sleep until dawn."

After hearing this, Gu Chongyang felt a little comforted: "I'm in the inner house, and I can't worry about many things. You should pay attention to everything in front of the fourth master."

As she spoke, she handed over the purse she had prepared in advance.

This made Bibo even more surprised, he didn't accept it, but said: "Take care of the fourth master, it's a small job, the fourth master gives the villain a lot of monthly orders, how dare you take the fourth lady's money?"

"You have always worked hard in front of the fourth master, and I can see it. Although you have monthly regulations, it is given by the mansion, and you deserve it. It does not conflict with what I gave." Gu Chongyang said : "Your mother has been sick in bed. In addition to taking medicine every day, you also need to hire someone to take care of you. There must be a lot of money. When my mother was alive, didn't she often tip you? Yours, you just take it, and if you push it away, it won’t look like it.”

"A reward from Miss Xie." Bibo then stopped, put the food box aside, and took the purse with both hands.

It is very light, you can twist it with your hands, but you can feel a few sheets of paper inside.It must be a silver ticket.I didn't expect Miss Si to reward him for the first time, and she was so generous.My mother no longer has to worry about the money for the doctor's prescription this month.

He put the purse into his arms, picked up the food box, and quickly followed Gu Chongyang.

"My mother is gone, I only have my father as a relative, so naturally I miss my father all the time." Gu Chongyang sighed, as if casually said: "It's a pity that my father is busy with work, so he can't see me every day. It is not easy for me to understand my father's daily life in the inner courtyard, which is really worrying."

Bibo was not only surprised at this moment, but also felt that the purse in his arms was a little hot.He knew that the money was not so easy to get.

Gu Chongyang knew that Bibo was not that easy to buy, and of course, she never thought of buying him.

"Don't worry, I didn't ask you to monitor my father. I'm just worried about my father. If anyone is against my father, or if my father has any troubles, you must come and tell me."

Her mother was murdered by an adulterer, and she couldn't ignore her father.

"Miss is filial and filial, everyone can understand it. If there is something wrong with the master, it will be uncomfortable for us to be servants. It would be great if the lady can enlighten me a little bit."

"Yeah." Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief: "You are really alert. I am relieved to have you by my father's side."

While speaking, they reached the bottom of the study steps, and both of them stopped talking in a tacit understanding. Qingbo stood under the veranda and said: "Miss, the fourth master let you in."

Gu Chongyang took a food box from Bibo's hand and walked in slowly.

The study room was tidy and tidy. There were two servants in the room sorting out the books. Seeing Gu Chongyang coming, the fourth master waved his hand to let them go down, and then asked, "It's so late, why are you here? It's still cold outside. Wear it, don't wear thicker clothes."

"I haven't seen my father for a few days, and I'm worried about it." Gu Chongyang saw that although the fourth master looked tired, he looked good, so he felt relieved: "Father, are you used to going to Guanglu Temple these days? Get along with your colleagues How is it? Can things be handled?"

"Sure enough, your child has grown up and knows how to care about his father." The fourth master sighed and said, "There are old rules to follow in everything in office, and there is nothing you can't deal with. Those colleagues are also very easy to get along with. I didn't have any disagreements with them before, and my face is kind. I'm just worried about you, and no one takes care of you."

Gu Chongyang's heart tightened. In his previous life, his father was afraid that no one would take care of her, so he married Ge Bilian.Unexpectedly, after Ge Bilian entered the door, she fell into a life of dire straits.

"I can take care of myself!" Gu Chongyang hurriedly took out a soup cup from the food box and put it in front of the fourth master's desk, saying: "This is the wild pigeon soup I stewed to nourish my father. You have been too tired recently It’s time to make up more. Father, taste it while it’s hot.”

"You have a heart." The fourth master picked up the soup cup and took a few sips: "It tastes very delicious, did you cook it?"

"Yes, I was afraid that it would not suit my father's taste. Since my father likes it, I will cook it a few more times in the future."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, cooking soup is also tiring, just let the servants do it." The fourth master asked: "By the way, is there anything you want to do today?"

"The exam will start in Chunwei in a few days, and I want to see if my two cousins ​​are ready tomorrow." Gu Chongyang said: "I know my father has a few ingots of good ink here, and I want to ask him for it. Give it to the two cousins ​​for the exam."

"How big is this, you deserve to go there yourself?" The fourth master laughed and said, "I'll have someone look for it right away, and I'll send it to you if I find it. I'm busy these days, so I can't go see your two cousins ​​off." , take me to tell your uncle."

"Then thank you father."

"Father and daughter, what are you talking about?" The fourth master stood up and said, "It's late outside, you go back first. Let Bibo help you light the lantern to take you back, be careful on the way."

"Yes."

After leaving the study door, Gu Chongyang sighed.Her mother was gone, and she and her father were not as close as they used to be.

However, we will be able to see Grandma Zhong and Biyun tomorrow.They must have clues about their mother's death.

Thinking of this, Gu Chongyang felt full of confidence again, and she felt that she was not far from the truth.
