Rebirth of a prosperous doctor girl

Chapter 77
However, the phenomenon that Hao Shaoyang imagined that the pigeons fell out of favor did not appear. Gu Chongyang not only favored those two pigeons, but even fed and changed the water by himself, and never pretended to be done by others.Of course, this is for another day.

After the Hundred Days of Filial Piety, Gu Chongyang began to low-key and secretly investigate what happened on the day of the Fourth Madam's death.

That day, most of the masters of the Qingyang Hou Mansion went to Tantuo Temple, but the second wife Fei did not.The news of the mother's death was the letter sent by Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Sun who were next to the second lady.

On the day of the accident, apart from the mother, only the second wife, Fei Shi, was the master.It is impossible for her not to know the news.

The second lady may not tell her the truth, but there are so many servants around the second lady.These people are the breakthrough.

She doesn't have many people at her disposal, and Luwu and Qingzhi are the people she is used to around her, so it's not easy to show up.At this time, Dan Xin and Dan Xin's godmother Hong Pozi came in handy.

As the weather gradually became warmer, Mrs. Hong volunteered to take the task of sending flowers to each house, and she began to slowly contact the servants in the second house, quietly inquiring about news.

She pretended to inquire about the gossips of the parents and the west, and she also inquired about some news here and there.It's just that the fourth lady was hanged to death, and the fourth lady has the ends and the like.

These news did not help Gu Chongyang, and she couldn't help being very discouraged.

"Miss, don't worry, those people are not familiar with Mrs. Hong, so it's normal that they didn't want to tell her at first." Lu Wu persuaded: "Maybe there will be progress today."

Gu Chongyang nodded: "That's the only way to go."

But she was thinking silently in her heart, mother, your spirit in heaven must bless me to find the murderer as soon as possible.

As soon as the curtain moved, Qing Zhi walked in quickly: "Miss, Dan Xin is back."

As she finished speaking, Dan Xin had already entered, and she whispered: "Miss, my godmother said that the lady in charge of the greenhouse and the lady in charge of the second lady's stove are godsisters, and Miss Fei is the second lady's personal servant." The daughter-in-law of the maidservant grandma. My godmother got on the line with Mrs. Fei through the woman in charge of the greenhouse. Mrs. Fei said that she knew the ins and outs of the matter, and she was willing to tell my godmother the truth, but there were two requirements .”

When Gu Chongyang listened, his heart skipped a beat.She knew that there is no impenetrable wall in this world.

She barely suppressed her inner emotions, and asked without arrogance or impatience: "What request does she have?"

"First, what she said must be kept secret, and she will not admit it if it is leaked in the future."

As Dan Xin spoke, she raised her head, looked at Gu Chongyang's expression and said, "Secondly, she said that she wanted 500 taels of silver for hard work."

"500 taels!" Qing Zhi couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice, "Why doesn't she go grab it?"

"Miss Fei's heart is too dark." Lu Wu said, "Her monthly salary is only a little more than two taels, and this 500 taels is enough for her to work for 20 years."

Hearing what they said, Dan Xin felt a little worried, and she glanced at Gu Chongyang nervously.

Gu Chongyang's expression remained unchanged, he just tapped his fingers on the table, obviously thinking.

"Miss, this lady Fei is really greedy." Lu Wu persuaded, "Why don't we find someone else, 500 taels is too much."

Gu Chongyang didn't answer, but asked Dan Xin: "What do you think?"

"Miss, 500 taels is indeed a lot, but to you, it's not too much." Seeing Gu Chongyang looking at her, Danxin faintly felt that the miss should agree with her, she was encouraged, and she was much more courageous than before: "Besides, the Madam's matter is too much involved. From the old lady to the people below, everyone is tight-lipped about this matter. We have been inquiring for so long, but we haven't made any progress. Even Biyun and Mrs. Zhong don't know about it. It can be seen that It's a very secretive thing."

"There are not many people who know the inside story, and those who do know are willing to take the risk to tell us, and even fewer. Mrs. Fei is the daughter-in-law of Grandma Sun. If she doesn't know the inside story, she will never dare to open her mouth. Yes. As long as the information she provides is valuable, 500 taels may be a lot, but it’s worth the money.”

"When others hear the news, they will definitely think that Miss, you spend a lot of money, and maybe you will come to tip the news."

Dan Xin concluded: "I think the 500 taels of silver might as well be given to her."

Gu Chongyang showed admiration on his face when he heard this, 500 taels of silver was indeed a lot, but to her it was nothing.As long as she can find out the truth, let alone 500 taels, even [-] or [-], she will not hesitate.

"Okay, this matter..."

Before Gu Chongyang could finish his words, a little maid's voice came from the door: "Miss, the fourth master is here."

How could father come?

Gu Chongyang couldn't help feeling suspicious.

When the Fourth Madam was alive, Gu Chongyang often got tired of staying in Rongdongyuan, so father and daughter met each other in Rongdongyuan.

After the fourth wife passed away, the fourth master moved to the study in the outer courtyard.Gu Chongyang took the initiative to go to the study to find the fourth master several times, and the fourth master also asked the young man to talk to Gu Chongyang in the study.

It was the first time to come to Haitang Courtyard like today.

Gu Chongyang quickly stood up, and went out to greet him, the fourth master had already lifted the curtain and walked in with great strides.

His face was calm and unwavering, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

"Father, why are you here?" Gu Chongyang asked while saluting, "Did you come to me for something?" "

The maids also followed Gu Chongyang to salute.

But the fourth master didn't answer, he just scanned the room with his eyes, and then said: "Everyone else go out, I have something to say to Miss Fourth."

His voice was dignified and his face serious.

Lu Wu and the others glanced at Gu Chongyang, Gu Chongyang nodded slightly, and she led the crowd out.

Seeing that the Lvwu faction only cares about Chongyang, the fourth master's face darkened a bit: "Chongyang, what have you been up to lately?"

Gu Chongyang didn't know what his father meant, so he said, "I'm still in filial piety, and I don't have much to do. I just read and write on weekdays."

"Where does father come from here? Aren't you busy with business today?" Gu Chongyang said while making tea: "Father, please sit down quickly and taste the tea made by your daughter."

The fourth master stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Gu Chongyang with a very sad look in his eyes: "Chongyang, your mother will be buried in peace, why do you make me so worried?"

Gu Chongyang stopped making tea and didn't speak for a while.

The fourth master complained bitterly: "What are you doing? What do you want to know? Your mother died of a heart attack. This matter has been settled. What are you still struggling with? Do you want your mother Is there no peace under the Nine Springs?"

"Father!" Gu Chongyang, who was originally silent, suddenly said, "Is my mother really at peace under the Nine Springs?"

The fourth master did not expect Gu Chongyang to ask such a question. He lowered his eyelids and let out a long sigh: "Your mother has already died, and the matter is already over. But you are asking people to inquire about the news frequently, which is to let people expose our fourth bedroom." Scars, embarrassing our fourth wife. Even if your mother is alive, she will never agree with what you are doing now!"

When Gu Chongyang listened, he felt as if he had fallen into a well, and his heart went cold.

The person who died was her mother, and she has a right to know the truth.But his father was vague, and he didn't want her to mention it, and he didn't want others to think of his mother.

Could it be that in father's heart, mother is a shameful scandal?Is the mother a scar that cannot be uncovered?
"Father, do you really believe it?" Gu Chongyang looked at the fourth master with burning eyes: "Will you doubt your mother because of those rumors?"

"Nonsense!" The fourth master's face flushed all of a sudden, and he snapped: "What kind of rumors, how can there be rumors? The one who believes in rumors is not me, but you! You listen to others and come here instead!" It's unreasonable to question me."

Gu Chongyang took a few steps back, and sat down on the chair weakly, feeling all hopeless: "You believed it, you believed it, you really still believed it!"

How did that happen?Father and mother are clearly in love with each other, and they raise their eyebrows together. Others can doubt and distrust mother, but father shouldn't distrust mother either.

After more than ten years of husband and wife, his mother became his shame in the end.

Although he knew that his father was deceived by others, at this moment, Gu Chongyang still felt chilled and felt unfair for his mother.

Gu Chongyang stared at the fourth master accusingly: "Although you don't admit it with your mouth, you agree with it in your heart. That's why you are eager to defend yourself, and that's why you don't want me to continue to investigate. You think I will investigate if I continue to investigate. You think it's a disgrace, it's a scandal, for people in the know to think about it."

"But it shouldn't be like this! Father, you have been married to your mother for more than ten years, and you should trust her. And I, the truth is not because I don't believe my mother. On the contrary, I firmly believe that my mother would not do such a thing , I firmly believe that my mother died unjustly, and I firmly believe that only by finding out the murderer mother can I get real peace."

"Nonsense!" The fourth master slapped the table with blue veins on his forehead.
