Chapter 80 Lies
After sending his uncle away, Gu Chongyang began to continue to investigate the truth, but there was no progress.

She had no choice but to write down all the clues she got before on paper and think carefully about the relationship between them.

Wu Dacheng, the second wife, Grandma Sun, mother...

She looked over and over again, always feeling that she had overlooked a very important thing.

On a clear morning in May, the sun was particularly bright and lovely, and even the air was filled with the scent of flowers.

Gu Chongyang tapped the names of those people lightly with his fingers, making the surroundings seem more and more quiet.

Outside the window, Qingzhi's voice suddenly came: "... Shuang'er's matter was stolen and stolen, so there is no excuse. You should go back quickly, I will not help intercede."

Gu Chongyang turned his head and asked Luwu, "What's going on?"

"It's Shuang'er's aunt who has been here several times, and she wants Qing Zhi to intercede so that Shuang'er can continue to work in the mansion." Lu Wu said: "She is Qing Zhi's real aunt, although Qing Zhi disagrees, but It cannot be avoided."

"En." Gu Chongyang nodded, and opened the window so that the voices from outside could come through more clearly.

A middle-aged woman in coarse patched clothes was pulling Qing Zhi's clothes, begging in a low voice.

Not knowing what the middle-aged woman said, Qing Zhi suddenly raised her voice: "Don't listen to the fact that the wind is the rain, there is no such thing as torture, and you beat her because of the stolen goods and she won't admit it. Since you believe in Shuang There is nothing I can do about my son's one-sided words. In short, I will not intercede for her, so you should give up on it. "

Shuang'er's aunt glanced at her complainingly, and wiped away her tears: "Girl, you entered the Hou's mansion and became the deputy lady, and compared everything to your lady in terms of food and clothing. How could you know the difficulties outside. Look at you The silks and satins we wear on our bodies, and the gold, silver and jade on our hands are enough for us to chew on for several months."

"Your uncle fell down while building a house for someone else, and broke his leg. Our whole family is relying on Shuang'er's role to live. Now that she has been kicked out, what will happen to us in the future?"

Shuang'er's mother covered her face and began to cry.

Qingzhi's voice softened: "Auntie, I don't know that your family's livelihood is difficult. I have already pleaded for Shuang'er, but Shuang'er did not admit her mistake."

"Sigh." She sighed and said, "Forget it, it's useless to talk about it, I have to subsidize you more in the future."

"Hey, I saved up these five taels of silver." Qing Zhi handed a small purse to Shuang'er's mother: "You can take it home with you, at least it can last for two or three months."

Shuang'er's mother knew that Shuang'er had no hope of entering the mansion, so she took the money and left.

Gu Chongyang watched and shook his head with disapproval.

Lu Wu hastily said: "Miss, don't blame Qing Zhi, she has no father and no mother, her aunt brought her up. Now her aunt is crying in front of her poor, she can't be indifferent. After all, she is a kind-hearted person. people."

Gu Chongyang didn't know that Qingzhi was a kind person, and she also knew that Qingzhi was brought up by her aunt.But Qing Zhi's aunt sold Qing Zhi to the Hou Mansion as a slave.Later, seeing that Qing Zhi was not only free from crime in the mansion, but enjoyed more happiness than ordinary girls from small families, she tried every means to send her daughter Shuang'er into the mansion.

The small family can't live on, so they have to sell their sons and daughters. She can't be blamed for this.

But later, Qingzhi married Ge Bilian's dowry steward, and was beaten and scolded, but Qingzhi's aunt didn't even show her face.Later, Qingzhi died of dystocia, and Qingzhi's aunt was unwilling to collect Qingzhi's body, saying that she had no money for the funeral.It was Luwu who asked someone to buy a thin coffin for Qingzhi.

That Shuang'er has such a temperament, her mother is not a good thing.

The mother only thought of taking money from Qingzhi, and the daughter was naturally ungrateful and ungrateful.

Forget it, don't think about it.

Gu Chongyang shook his head again, trying to drive away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and continue to think about the relationship between these people on the paper.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Chongyang suddenly realized that he had overlooked an extremely important key point.

Shuang'er took the money and betrayed her, but she refused to admit it at first, until she got the stolen goods but still shirked her responsibility, in short, she just refused to admit her mistake.

What about the mother!

The mother is innocent, and there is nothing wrong between her and Wu Dacheng. Even if someone framed her, or even made a good plan to make her fall into a trap, she would never admit it.

Born in a family of merchants, what my mother fears most is that others will say that she has no manners, so as to mock her father.

She may die, but she definitely won't die in despair if someone catches her.She must argue with reason, and must wait until her father, in front of his father, explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly before she dies.If she died, she must have died to protect her father's face.

If her father hadn't come back, how could she have died and let others pour dirty water on her?

Won't!she won't.

But the mother really hanged herself!How could she hang herself if her father didn't come back?

But what if the father comes back?

Gu Chongyang's complexion changed drastically, and she stood up abruptly. She didn't know if she got up too fast, but she felt her temples throbbing.

no, I can not.

Her head shook like a rattle. If her father really came back, how could he not listen to his mother's explanation, how could he allow her to die?
This is impossible!

She sat down slowly, and told herself not to be like an enemy.

But her thoughts are not under her control, and she can no longer suppress this thought.Like the sparks of a prairie fire, she was restless, and her heart was churning up and down as if someone had poured a pot of boiling water on it.

What should I do?
Gu Chongyang took a deep breath, and when she calmed down a little, she suddenly stood up again, making up her mind: "Luwu, call Bibo."

Hearing that Luwu was going to go, Gu Chongyang stopped her again: "Don't go."

It can't be like this, go recklessly, Bibo belongs to her father, even though she takes money from her, she may not necessarily do things for her.

Things were going to be tough, and she couldn't fight a battle she wasn't sure of.

She thought for a while, and finally shouted: "Dan Xin!"

Dan Xin quickly walked to her side, and asked softly: "Miss, do you want to call Gu Tailai in?"

"No. You go to the outer courtyard and send a message to Gu Tailai, asking him to check the itinerary of the fourth master on the seventh day of November last year." Gu Chongyang's voice was cold, without the slightest emotion: "We must check carefully, and we must not miss anything. .”

He actually wanted to check on the fourth master!Dan Xin glanced at Gu Chongyang in surprise and worry, answered yes, and hurried away.

The spring breeze outside the window is slightly smoky, the flowers are fragrant and the birds are singing, it is the beautiful scenery in May, but Gu Chongyang has no intention of going out to have a look at it at all.

If the murderer is not eliminated, she vows not to give up.

It's not easy to find out what happened in the inner courtyard, but the whereabouts of the fourth master is very easy to find out.

Whether he was sitting in a sedan chair or in a carriage, there were always servants around him, the bearers, the coachman, the servants of the concierge, and the servants who followed him, including the four masters who went to drink the wedding wine for their colleagues to marry their daughter-in-law that day. Under it, it's not Xinmi.

And those people can talk out their words as long as they have money, because it is not a secret in the first place, and there is nothing to keep secret.

Gu Tailai quickly brought the news over.

"That day, the fourth master didn't go to the official department at all. He went to have a wedding banquet early in the morning. Because the banquet hadn't started yet, the fourth master had tea with his former colleagues, classmates and classmates, but no one thought that when the maid served tea, Accidentally, I spilled tea on the fourth master."

"Masters don't go out like madams and misses who carry with them a change of clothes, so the fourth master left his colleague's house to go back home."

"When Kankan was about to reach Dongzhimen Street, I bumped into the servant woman who came to look for her head-on. In the inner house, at noon came the news that the fourth wife died of a heart attack."

Hearing the news of Gu Tailai's report, Gu Chongyang's hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Sure enough, she guessed it right.That day my father really came back.It was all lies about why he didn't see his mother for the last time, and why he went to the official department early in the morning.

She knew that her mother would not sit still, and she knew that her mother would never die without seeing her father.

But why!
Why did the father allow the mother to vote without stopping?

Gu Chongyang was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to think about it.

Gu Tailai said again: "Miss, I also heard from the coachman that Bibo and the master were supposed to go out that day, but Bibo's mother fell ill, so he asked for leave and went home, and Qingbo was on duty that day. Not only went out with the master, but also entered the inner house with the master."

When Gu Chongyang heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"This is really the only good news among the many bad news."

These two servants of his father, Bibo is steady, mature and loyal to his father, they are the people his father relies on the most besides the steward Lin Jinxiao.Qingbo is quick-witted and smart but not prudent enough. His father would leave him to do small things, but he likes Bibo more in his heart.

Therefore, Qingbo and Bibo are at odds.

Unexpectedly, it was Qingbo, so he was much easier to bribe than Bibo.

Gu Chongyang glanced at Gu Tailai and said: "Since you have found Qingbo's head, you must have gained something else."

"Miss's hole shines brightly, Tai is ashamed." Gu Tailai slightly bent over and said, "Qingbo's parents are dead, only one brother is still there, and his brother is addicted to gambling, and has been in various gambling houses all year round. But , He has a lot of tricks, and he is very capable of cheating, and he is rarely caught."

Gu Chongyang understood a little bit in his heart: "Qingbo and his brother have a very good relationship, right?"
