Chapter 11 He's Dead

Before Gu Yan, Fu Shi also had a son, this is the eldest son of Gu Chong'an and Fu Shi, but he contracted a cold when he was two years old and died early.

If he was still alive, he would be 16 now, and he would be able to see girls... Gu Zhongan thought endlessly, his eyes were a little moist.

Over the past ten years, he has thought of the intelligent eldest son from time to time, the eldest son who would call him "Daddy" before he was one year old.

It's just that Fu Bo is in the end.

Afterwards, Fu's family gave birth to Gu Yan, and there was no news about the offspring. Although Aunt Jin gave birth to Gu Daozheng, the bastard was born dumb.

The heirs of the Gu family's first branch can be mediocre, but they can't be ill. In this way, the big house does have no heirs, no wonder the clan elders are anxious.

Gu Chong'an thought of his eldest son who died young, and at this moment he had no intention of adopting a side branch, so he refused: "Father, this matter is not urgent, let's talk about it later."

Wait, what are you waiting for?Gu Chong'an actually didn't know, but he always felt that there was an inexplicable hope. Once adopted, the little hope in his heart would be gone.

Gu Zhan couldn't bear to embarrass Gu Chong'an, knowing that this matter needs to be mentioned, and it doesn't need to be implemented immediately, so he nodded: "Then let's talk about it later."

After mentioning this matter, Gu Chong'an's heart sank, and he left the Pine Age Home very quickly.

Gu Yan didn't know about the situation of Diezhang Courtyard and Pine Age Courtyard. Since the incident of listening to the piano, Chibi Courtyard has become extremely quiet.Mother Chen has already returned to Chibi Courtyard, and her discipline on the maids has become stricter.The rest of the maids were cautious, after all Tingqin was punished in Chibi Courtyard, they all remembered the shrill cry of pain and the iron sheet on the thorn stick.

Gu Yan himself concentrated on taking care of his injury.No matter what she wanted to do, the injuries on her forehead and thighs had to get better as soon as possible.

The hairpin wound on Gu Yan's thigh was not deep, and the marks had faded after several days of care. No one else knew about this wound except Shui Lu.

The matter of listening to the piano has passed, and it seems that it has not affected the sisterhood between Gu Yan and Gu Wei.Afterwards, Gu Wei went to Chibi Courtyard to apologize, and Tingqin's body gradually recovered.

However, Tingqin hated Chibi Courtyard since then, and once said harshly to her confidants: "One day, I want the people in Chibi Courtyard to taste what it's like to be responsible for sticks!"

When these words were passed to Gu Yan's ears, Gu Yan didn't care at all. In the previous life, listening to the piano was not good for the Chibi Court, and no matter how much you hate it now, there is no loss.

Besides, Gu Yan was so depressed that he didn't have the heart to pay attention to a maid at all.Her injury is about to heal, but she still can't think of a way to deal with the second room.She was like a bird in a cage, unable to break free.

This morning, it was Shuilu's turn to be on errand.As soon as she entered Chibi Courtyard, Gu Yan felt that something was wrong, Shui Lu's complexion was too bad, pale and pale, and her lips were trembling.

"What happened?" Gu Yan asked in a low voice after ordering the other maids to push them out.

"Girl... Uncle Fu is dead. He drowned last night. I heard that he drank alcohol and was out of breath when he fished it up..." Shui Lu suppressed her fear and told what she heard.

Previously, Shuilu went to investigate the matter of Zhongxiaotang, and learned that the servant who worked in Zhongxiaotang that night was introduced by the second wife's wife Lian's steward, and then found that the candlesticks of Zhongxiaotang had been replaced with new ones. The result was told to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan didn't say anything after hearing this, but only told Shui Lu to pay close attention to Uncle Fu.Only a few days later, Uncle Fu drowned.Shuilu is not stupid, she has already figured out that there is something in it that she doesn't know.

Shui Lu couldn't help but look at Gu Yan, her heart beating violently.Nothing has changed since the girl woke up.With so much going on, she couldn't pretend she didn't know anything.

"Shui Lu, are you scared?" Gu Yan looked at Shui Lu's expression and said softly.

"Girl, slave... slave..." Shui Lu wanted to say she wasn't afraid, but she was really scared in her heart. As Gu Yan's most important maid, she didn't know how to answer.

"You don't have to be afraid. It's not us who do evil things. We are upright. We don't have to be afraid of anything... Uncle Fu is dead. It has nothing to do with us. Those who should be afraid are those who do evil things! Don't be afraid, I Nothing will happen to you..." Gu Yan still had such a soft voice when talking about death, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shui Lu stared blankly at Gu Yan's smile, remembering the scene a long time ago.Were you five or six years old at that time?At that time, her mother had just passed away, and her father and elder brother were only busy with the funeral. She was sad and frightened, so she could only hide by the lake and cry.

At that time, the girl also said softly: "You don't have to be afraid, nothing will happen..."

She was so gentle, as if she could stop anything, and later, she was fine, and even entered the Chibi Courtyard as a maidservant.

"Yes, this servant believes in the girl, and this servant is not afraid. I just think about Uncle Fu..." After a long time, Shuilu's eyes were wet, and he said in a low voice.

She believed in Gu Yan, just like she did at that time, no matter what Gu Yan did, she believed it.Even if she doesn't understand the girl at the moment, she still believes it.

Seeing that Shui Lu had calmed down, Gu Yan was delighted.Now she trusts Shui Lu the most. If Shui Lu creates a gap between her and her, she really doesn't know what to do.

Now my strength is too weak, if only kind words exist... Gu Yan couldn't help but think of kind words, and then smiled wryly.

Shanyan, I still don't know where it is...

Thinking of Gu Fu, Gu Yan couldn't even raise a wry smile.Gu Fu died, just like he died of drowning in his previous life, Gu Yan knew that his death was definitely not an accident, it was because someone wanted to kill people to silence him, the purpose was to cover up what happened in Xishan that night.

Whether it's Gu Chongting or Qin Ji, they always do things cleanly and will never leave any traces.Even if Xishan's ambush failed, Gu Fu, who had passed the message in the middle, would not be able to save his life.

Gu Yan thought of the things that happened since his rebirth, one after another, it seemed like a lot of things, as if a long time had passed, but in fact it was only ten days.

Gu Fu's death shocked her heart.The Gu family was still in danger at this time, her father and mother were still targets of others, and she hadn't figured out a solution yet.

Go to Pine Age Institute or Hojo Chapter Institute to tell the story of the previous life?Said that he had a dream and knew these things?With the matter of Han Wu in front of her, Gu Yan doesn't know what her parents and grandfather will think...

I dare not take risks.

"We still need to expand our strength..." Gu Yan said to himself.How easy is it to increase the number of trustworthy and useful people?
Just at this moment, Xinghuang came in with a big box in his hand.The box was wrapped in exquisite brocade brocade with a red background, and a letter was pressed on it, and the sealed clay was printed with the character "Lu" in seal script.

Seeing these things, Gu Yan felt a little relieved in his dull mood.In the whole Jingzhao, the only one who can send food to girls' homes is so solemn, only sister Lu Yun from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Punishment.

Sure enough, Xinghuang opened the box and saw that it was full of Jingzhao food such as Linglong cakes, jadeite rice dumplings, and the Lu family's well-known Jingzhao mandarin duck cake.

These days, it is also a kind of heritage for a family to have several famous dishes heirloom.

Gu Yan opened the letter, thinking of Lu Yun who has always been kind to him, he felt warm in his heart.

"I'm suffocated... I was detained at home by my mother, and I was preparing for a flower viewing feast... I don't know when I can go to Dajue Temple for a spring outing!"——The letter is written vigorously and doesn't look like a woman, but the whole text is Grumbling, this is clearly another willful and straightforward girl who was pampered in her boudoir.

so funny.

Going to Dajue Temple for a spring outing... Gu Yan paused for a moment when he saw these words.
