Chapter 89
Beijing, Liulichang Street, the backyard of the dowry tea shop of the late fourth wife of the Gu family, Mrs. Shen.

Wu Dacheng knelt on the ground and firmly kowtowed three times to Gu Chongyang: "Miss, I really didn't expect that Miss would still remember villains."

He was so excited to see Gu Chongyang that he almost cried.

Hearing his choked up voice, Gu Chongyang felt sore when he thought of his deceased mother and Nanny Wu who had always loved her dearly.

"Uncle Dacheng, get up quickly, where have you been these days? What happened the day my mother passed away?"

There are too many questions in her mind that she can't wait to figure out, and the only one who can solve her doubts at present is Wu Dacheng.

And this "Uncle Dacheng" made Wu Dacheng couldn't help but wet his eyes.

Wu Dacheng's mother, Nanny Wu, was Shen Qiongzhi's wet nurse, and the Shen family was a merchant family, unlike the high-ranking eunuchs in the capital where there was a strict hierarchy between master and servant.Shen has always called Nanny Wu a nurse since she was a child, and Wu Dacheng is also called brother nurse, and when she is older, she is called brother Dacheng.

This name was not changed until Shen Qiongzhi married into the Gu family.

On the surface, they are called Nanny Wu and Wu Dacheng, but in private they are still called by the same name as before.Shen even said to Gu Chongyang, what about your Uncle Dacheng.It's just that in the past, Gu Chongyang considered himself the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, and never bothered to call a servant an uncle.

Now that she was alive again, she realized that Gu, who had the same surname as her, might not be her relatives.Although Wu Dacheng in front of him is just a servant, he treats her very well.

Gu Chongyang's "Uncle Dacheng" made Wu Dacheng both moved and sad. He lay on the ground, kowtowed to Gu Chongyang a few more times, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss, you can't do it, you can't do it, you still call me Wu Dacheng."

His sad appearance made Gu Chongyang feel even more blocked: "In this case, let me call you Uncle Da Cheng, you are my elder, and you deserve my title."

Uncle Dacheng is a more moderate name. The ladies and young masters of the Hou Mansion, when they see the elders who serve the Master, it is not wrong to call them uncle.

Only then did Wu Dacheng say yes, and then got up from the ground.

Only then did Gu Chongyang see Wu Dacheng's face clearly. He was dark-skinned, sallow and thin, with a miserable expression, and he knew that he had suffered a lot.

But right now is not the time to think about these things. It is more important than anything else to find out how my mother died: "Uncle Dacheng, what happened that day?"

"Miss, speaking of it, even I am at a loss." Wu Dacheng shook his head, falling into painful memories: "On the seventh day of November, I was in the outer courtyard as before, because my uncle and master would arrive on those two days. The capital, so my wife asked me to wait for the news in the outer courtyard, saying that as soon as the reporter came back, I would notify her immediately. I didn’t dare to go anywhere, so I just waited at the concierge.”

"I waited until the end of the morning ([-] o'clock in the morning), but no one came. I thought that my uncle and master would not be able to arrive in the morning. I was about to go in and tell my wife when Qiu Nanny in the lady's room suddenly Come to me and say that my mother is suddenly seriously ill, so let me go and have a look."

Hearing this, a feeling suddenly flashed in Gu Chongyang's mind, as if something was wrong.

The puzzlement and hesitation were only fleeting, and she hurriedly asked, "What happened next?"

"I was taken aback at the time, anxious and worried, and went to the Rongdong Courtyard with Mother Qiu. Unexpectedly, just after entering the Rongdong Courtyard, someone gave me a sap from behind, It just knocked me out."

Gu Chongyang also raised his heart, this is probably the purpose of that person.First tricked Wu Dacheng into the yard, then created the illusion that his mother had an affair with Wu Dacheng, and finally found someone to catch the adulterer, so as to prove his mother's crime of disobedience to women.

What a poisonous heart!
"When I woke up, I found myself thrown in the firewood room. There were two people guarding me at the door, and they were gossiping while guarding. One person said how could the fourth lady have died at such a young age?"

"I was so angry when I heard that, I wanted to rush out on the spot to teach that nonsense person a lesson. The fourth wife is clearly alive and well, but she asked me to wait for my uncle's letter in the morning. How could she die?"

"But I found that I was tied up and my mouth was gagged. I realized that the situation was not good. Something might have happened to the Fourth Madam. I decided to stand still and find a way to untie the rope on my body. While quietly moving to the door to eavesdrop on those two people talking."

"The man continued, Mother Wu is also a loyal person, it's really rare that she hanged herself to die for the Lord."

"I never thought that my mother would die. I didn't believe it. I just thought it might be a prank. I'm afraid the servants were deliberately playing tricks on me."

"Unexpectedly, another person actually said that my mother was not a martyr, but poisoned the fourth wife to death. Because someone found out, she committed suicide in fear of crime."

"The more I listened to it, the more I felt that it could never be a prank. No matter which room the servants dared to joke about such a thing. I was very painful and very scared. Although I didn't understand what happened, I knew that The Fourth Madam and my mother must be in danger, even myself is very dangerous."

"Fortunately, when I was a beggar, I was very nimble with my hands and feet when I was stealing with those old beggars. After a while, I untied the rope. I gently opened the window and put a shoe by the window, causing me to jump out of the window and escape. Then I climbed out along the chimney. Because I am from the south, and there is a small lake in the back garden of Gu’s family by the window, they all thought I escaped from the lake.”

"It was very cold that day, and the snow was falling heavily. How could I run from the lake? Perhaps the family servants were unwilling to brave the cold wind to chase me, so I escaped unharmed."

Wu Dacheng's voice suddenly became a bit bitter: "I didn't dare to go anywhere, so I pretended to be a beggar and asked for news. Only then did I know that my wife had really passed away, and something happened to my mother. People always say that my wife died of a sudden heart attack, and my mother hanged herself. I don’t believe it at all. My wife is very healthy, so there is no way she will die. Even if my wife has a disease, why did you tie me up? ? Although I don’t understand exactly what happened, I know someone must be doing something wrong.”

"Miss Si, Madam was killed by someone." Wu Dacheng looked at Gu Chongyang, both angry and unwilling: "My mother was also killed by someone, they can't die in vain. But you are still young, you can't do anything in vain. If you can’t do it, you can only wait until you grow up and have the ability to protect yourself before you can kill your enemies and avenge your wife.”

After Wu Dacheng finished speaking, Gu Chongyang's mind was a little messed up.

Her thoughts were not cleared by Wu Dacheng's words, but became more confused.

But his determination to avenge his mother did not waver in the slightest.

"Uncle Dacheng, you are right. My abilities are too weak, so I should hide my strength and bide my time." Gu Chongyang suddenly raised his voice and said, "But I don't have time. Ge Bilian will enter the door next spring, and I have to be there before Ge Bilian enters the door." Make things clear, so that father will not misunderstand mother."

"My ability is indeed limited now, but I still have my father. I want to tell my father about my mother's innocence, and let my father help me find the murderer."

"Innocent?" Wu Dacheng was stunned suddenly: "Miss, do you know anything about Madam's murder?"

"Yes!" Gu Chongyang looked at Wu Dacheng, and said without hesitation: "After you were knocked out, someone took you to my mother's room and let you share the same room with my mother, causing you to have an affair with my mother My father misunderstood the false appearance. My mother hanged herself to prove her innocence."

"The crux of the matter is that you and my mother are innocent. We must find the murderer who framed you."

Wu Dacheng's face changed drastically when he heard this, he was frightened by Gu Chongyang's words.

He never thought that there would be such shocking rumors in the mansion.

His face was pale and his body was stiff, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After he realized it, he suddenly said: "But miss, the fourth master was at home the whole time when Madam's accident happened."

Gu Chongyang felt as if he was struck by lightning, and at that moment, he felt nothing in his mind.

She looked at Wu Dacheng and asked incredulously, "You said my father was at home that day?"

"Yes." Wu Dacheng nodded hastily: "He went out at the end of Maoshi (seven o'clock in the morning) and came back at the end of Chenshi (nine o'clock in the morning). After he came back, he never went out."

Listening to Wu Dacheng's words, Gu Chongyang twisted his hands tightly together, his lips slowly turned white, and the blood on his face faded completely, making him very pale.

"You...are you telling the truth?" Her voice was very tense, and it could be heard that she was very nervous or even scared at the moment.

"Yes, Miss." Wu Dacheng nodded solemnly, and affirmed: "I was ordered by my wife to wait for my uncle at the concierge until the end of the morning ([-] o'clock in the morning). After coming back at [-] o'clock in the morning, I never went out again."

Gu Chongyang only felt that his mind was booming, as if it was about to explode.

She fell down on the chair and didn't speak for a long time, unprecedented fear and confusion flooded her heart.

Qingbo said that after his father came back, he went directly to Anrongyuan, quarreled with his mother, and then went to the study on his shoulders.After half an hour, the mother committed suicide.

She always thought that those people called Wu Dacheng in first to frame her mother. After being insulted by this, her mother could not gain the trust of her father, so she died to prove her innocence.

But now it seems that she was wrong, very wrong.

According to what Qingbo and Wu Dacheng said, it was clear that the mother and father quarreled, and after the quarrel, the mother committed suicide. After the mother died, someone tricked Wu Dacheng into it.

The mother committed suicide first, and Wu Dacheng entered the inner house later.

In other words, there is no such thing as adultery being caught until the end.

Someone forced his mother to death, and in order to conceal his identity, he planted the blame on Wu Dacheng.

The mother did not commit suicide in shame and anger, but was forced to death.

And when these things happened, his father had been at home.

Gu Chongyang felt like he had fallen into a hole in the ice, shivering all over from the cold.
