Chapter 69 Clue 2
The next day Gu Chongyang got up very early, and without delay after breakfast, she let someone hitch up a carriage and walked towards Xuanbeifang.

Nanju Xianfang, where Qingyanghou's Mansion is located, is in the northeast of the capital, while Xuanbeifang, where Shen's family is located, is in the southwest. She has almost crossed half of the capital.

She went to Shen's house first.

Shen Yucheng went out, because the selection competition for the imperial embroidery village will start in April, and he has been rushing about this matter recently.

Only two cousins ​​are at home.

Let the cousin is the second son of the uncle, 15 years old this year, with a handsome appearance.Compared with Cousin Qian from the eldest uncle's family, his personality is more lively and outgoing.

Seeing Gu Chongyang coming, he was very happy, and while having tea and refreshments for Gu Chongyang, he sent someone to invite his uncle home.

Gu Chongyang stopped him and said, "Cousin, I didn't come here today to find my uncle. I came this time because of my two cousins."

Shen Rang raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Cousin Chongyang, what do you want me to do for you?"

He glanced at his clan brother Shen Zheng and said, "There are me and brother Zheng Cong, who keep things running beautifully. Where do you want to go? Do you want to go to Guangji Temple or go out for an outing? Gu family rules Daddy, you must be bored. You change your clothes and pretend to be a servant, and brother Zheng Cong and I will cover you and let you have enough fun today."

That excited look doesn't look like someone who is going to take a scientific examination in a few days.

Gu Chongyang smiled and said: "Cousin, obviously you want to go out to play, right? I didn't come here to play with you this time. Seeing that you are about to end, I just want to play, and I dare not delay you. "

Having been exposed by Gu Chongyang, Shen Rang scratched his head in embarrassment: "Cousin, what are you doing here today?"

"You guys are coming to the end. I can't come and give them away that day. These are two pieces of high-quality Hui ink. They are for you to use during the exam. Let's talk about my heart." Gu Chongyang handed the Hui ink to Shen Rang and said: "I wish you two cousins ​​pens If you wish, you will be named on the gold list."

Shen Rang took the Hui ink and praised it full of praise: "Huizhou's black ink is famous for its dark luster and non-smearing on the paper. These days, it is hard to buy good ink if you have money. Cousin, you are really caring. Thank you, cousin."

After finishing speaking, he smacked his lips and said a little shyly, "I'm afraid that I won't pass the exam this time, and let down my cousin who is so good."

"The cousin sent such good ink, hoping to make Congdi more confident to write good articles, not to make you discouraged." Shen Zheng said: "Let Congdi quickly put away his unconfident thoughts. With this good ink The icing on the cake, you can definitely make it through high school."

"Haha." Shen Rang said with a haha: "I hope so."

It seems that Shen Rang still has some understanding of his own level. In his previous life, Shen Rang was indeed a loser and did not have a high school.

After the ink was delivered, Gu Chongyang offered to leave: "It's time for the two cousins ​​to review their homework, so I won't bother you."

Shen Rang originally wanted to stay, but after hearing what Gu Chongyang said, he was embarrassed to stay.

Gu Chongyang just laughed: "Tell cousin, when you come out of the examination room, I've passed my three-month filial piety. When the time comes, take me to the suburbs to release paper kites."

Gu Chongyang did not go home directly, but went to Liulichang Street.

Gu Tailai was already waiting for her at the door of the shop.

"Miss, they're all in the backyard. I'll show you in."

Gu Chongyang nodded, and followed him through the shop without saying a word.The shopkeepers in the shop had already been notified, and they didn't show any surprise, but went their own way.

Gu Chongyang gave Gu Tailai an appreciative glance, although he is young, he is very prudent in handling things.

The small courtyard is not big, with three main rooms and two side rooms.

All the way to the door of the main room, Gu Tailai stood at the door and said: "Miss, they are inside."

"You and Luwu are guarding here, and no one is allowed to come in."

Gu Chongyang gave a warning and walked in.

"Miss Si! You really redeemed us?"

Grandma Zhong and Biyun were very excited. When they saw Gu Chongyang, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to her: "I thought I would never be able to return to the capital in this lifetime. I never thought that there would be a chance to see Miss again."

Their tone was very excited, quite like the vicissitudes of life after a catastrophe.

Of the more than twenty people who served her mother, some of them died, some of them died, only these two people in front of her were left, and Gu Chongyang was also very emotional.

"Okay, get up quickly."

Gu Chongyang personally pulled the two of them up, and couldn't wait to ask: "Mother Zhong, Biyun, how did my mother die?"

Grandma Zhong didn't answer, but asked back with tears in her eyes: "Miss, madam has already gone, what's the point of you pursuing these things now? No matter how clear you are, madam can't come back to life."

Of course it makes sense.It is true that the mother cannot be resurrected from the dead, but she wants to let the murderer get the retribution she deserves, so that the mother can rest in peace under the Jiuquan.

"Mother Zhong, I asked Gu Tai to go all the way to Shandong to redeem you, just to find out what happened that day." Gu Chongyang said: "Mother treated you well when she was alive, since you know why you don't tell me?"

"Do you know that except for Nanny Qiu and the two of you, everyone else is dead." Gu Chongyang clenched his fists and slammed them on the table: "Twenty or so living lives died overnight." All of them are dead."

"They're all dead?" Grandma Zhong suddenly raised her head, looking at Gu Chongyang in panic, apparently in disbelief.

"Yes. Not only Madam Wu is dead, but Hengwu Duruo is also dead. You are the only survivors."

Originally standing on the side with tears in Biyun's eyes, when he heard the news, he covered his face and burst into tears: "Sister, sister, my sister..."

Hengwu is the older sister of Biyun's mother, and the two depend on each other in the Gu family, and their relationship is better than that of ordinary sisters.

At first Biyun was able to hold back, but later she cried and sat down on the ground in great grief.

When Gu Chongyang saw this, she couldn't bear it very much, she glanced away sadly, and she wanted to catch the murderer in her heart, but the idea of ​​paying blood with blood became more determined.No matter how many hardships and ups and downs there are ahead, she must take revenge, otherwise, how can she be worthy of her mother, and how can she be worthy of those people who serve her around her?
Gu Chongyang walked up to Granny Zhong, and said sternly, "Grandma Zhong, I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore world affairs. I must find out the truth of the matter. You must also tell me what you know."

Grandma Zhong's face was pale, the corners of her mouth were twitching, and it took her a long time to say: "Miss, I don't know anything."

"How come you don't know anything?" Gu Chongyang looked at Granny Zhong, and asked unwillingly: "You are in Rongdongyuan every day, although you are not serving my mother personally, but such a big thing happened that day, you should Did you hear something?"

Grandma Zhong dodged her eyes, not daring to meet Gu Chongyang's gaze: "I... I just stayed in my room after sweeping the floor that day, and didn't go anywhere."

"I don't believe it!" Gu Chongyang stared at Grandma Zhong with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see her heart: "Even if you stayed in the house, even if you didn't go anywhere, there was a sound in my mother's house, don't you?" Will you come out and take a look? Or, you heard it, saw it, but didn't want to tell me?"

Grandma Zhong gave Gu Chongyang a mournful look, with cloudy tears flowing from her eyes: "Miss, I didn't tell you, it's for your own good, so don't ask me any more."

Gu Chongyang sat on the chair dejectedly, feeling disheartened.

The mother's death was really not that simple, and there was indeed an unknown inside story in the middle.

She thought that finding Mrs. Zhong would solve the puzzle or get a powerful clue, but she never expected that Mrs. Zhong was unwilling to tell her.

how so!
She has worked so hard to get to this point, is she going to stop here?

She is not reconciled, she is 1 unwilling.

Mrs. Zhong is an old man beside her mother. Judging from the situation when they met just now, they are very happy to see themselves and the others.They also recognized their own master.

Grandma Zhong didn't want to say it, probably because she was afraid that if she said it, she would be like everyone else and bring about the disaster of killing her.

Everyone else died, only the two of them survived, how could it be because they were extra cautious?

Sitting on the chair, Gu Chongyang thought about it for a while, and when she calmed down, she asked again: "Grandma Zhong, what happened? What are you afraid of? You have been sold, I put you After redeeming, you just tell me what you know and see. I promise you, I will do my best to keep you safe. Please believe me."

In the end, she stood up, held Po Zhong's hand, and looked at her expectantly.

However, she was disappointed, Grandma Zhong didn't answer, just shook her head and remained silent.

A burst of anger suddenly surged in her heart. She had redeemed them and promised to keep her safe. Why didn't she open her mouth?It's good to give yourself even a little hint.

"Mrs. Zhong, you really let me down!" Gu Chongyang let go of his hands in frustration, and said, "I thought we were still masters and servants, and I thought my mother treated you well before she was alive. You won't just sit idly by, at least not Indifferent to each other. Now it seems that I am self-indulgent. If this is the case, then I will not force it. I will not give up looking for the truth, the murderer, I will definitely find it. "

"There is no murderer, there is no murderer, no one killed Madam!" Biyun who was sitting on the ground crying suddenly stood up and said loudly to Gu Chongyang: "Madam committed suicide because she didn't want to live anymore, no one killed her. She! It was she who killed herself, and also hurt the people around her..."

"Biyun!" Granny Zhong looked horrified, and took a step forward to cover Biyun's mouth: "Madam died of a heart attack, so don't talk nonsense in front of Miss."
