in the sound of swallows

Chapter 48

The pain of losing your grandson is overwhelmed, who cares whether you did it or not, Madam Gu just needs to find an outlet - she is really looking forward to having a child.

After finally marrying a daughter-in-law with a full belly, I endured all kinds of dissatisfaction, but now that the child is gone, Gu Chaobei has also taken the position of servant, and no one will easily spare Shen Guiyan. .

"At that time, only the Fourth Young Madam and the maid Bao Shan were there. If it wasn't the Fourth Young Madam, then it could only be the Bao Fan." Yu Shu stood aside and said, "If the Fourth Young Madam insists on denying it, then take the Bao Shan." Pay for the life of the child in my lady's womb."

"Where is this place? Madam hasn't made a conclusion yet, but you, a maid, have decided?" Xu Mengdie chuckled lightly: "Are all the maids in the East courtyard talking nonsense like this?"

Yushu was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and glanced at Xu Mengdie.Aunt Xu from the South Court has helped Shen Guiyan fight against them more than once, and it has nothing to do with her. What kind of heart is An?

But as a servant girl, she didn't have the guts to challenge her aunt, so she could only bear with her head down.

"I think what Yushu said makes sense." Mrs. Gu raised her eyes and said, "If Yan'er is punished, I will also feel a little distressed, and Bei'er will also be sad when she comes back. But the life of a son-in-law should not be lost in vain. It is better to pay for life by killing people. Charge the precious fan stick to one hundred, and drive him out of the house."

Shen Guiyan frowned: "Ma'am! How can the treasured fan survive if the stick is a hundred?"

"Is the life of my concubine of the Xiangfu not worth the life of one of her maids?" Mrs. Gu looked at her, her face became softer: "Isn't it just a maid, and when I send her away, I will choose ten or eight for you." Come on, there is always a caring one, so you don't have to be too sad."

The precious fan was as white as earth, but he gritted his teeth and didn't argue.

She was indeed the one who pushed Shen Guiya to fall, and there was no mention of punishment.It's just that people in this mansion are unpredictable, if she goes, what will the young lady do in the future?
Although very unpromising, Bao Shan was still a little afraid of death, but when she looked up at the lady kneeling in front of her, she closed her eyes again.

Her life was saved by the young lady, without the young lady, there would be no her.Now in such a catastrophe, it is good that she can block some for the young lady.

After struggling in his heart for a long time, Bao Shan came out and knelt down, and was about to plead guilty, but he heard Shen Guiyan say in front of him: "It was not Bao Shan who pushed her, killing her innocently, just added another wronged soul to the Prime Minister's Mansion. "

"But besides her, there is only you." Mrs. Gu still smiled softly: "You know, I don't want you to be punished."

Shen Guiyan looked up into Mrs. Gu's eyes, feeling a little cold in her heart.After all, it's not her mother-in-law. It's clear that she is going to blame her.If she resists, she will be fined with a treasure fan, which will never make her feel better.

The Gu family brothers and the prime minister were not there, and all the female relatives present, even if Xu Mengdie wanted to help her, his words were not enough.Shen Guiyan recognized the situation, took a deep breath, kowtowed and said: "Madam, let Guiyan be punished."

Madam Gu smiled: "Are you willing to be punished?"

"Yes." Shen Guiyan closed her eyes.

She is willing to be a ghost, she has been forced to this point and she has to say she is willing.Shen Guiyan could not stop slandering, but was also very annoyed.She was really careless, she didn't expect that Shen Guiya could even make fun of the child in her stomach, so she fell for this trick again.

To put it bluntly, she is not as ruthless as Shen Guiya, it is simply inhumane to cut off family affection and blood.

However, this experience made her see a little more clearly that Mrs. Gu is the only heir, Aunt Guan is helping the East Courtyard, and Aunt Liu is unclear about the attitude of the remaining Aunt Liu, only Xu Mengdie is dedicated to her.

Xu Mengdie had reminded her beforehand, telling her to be careful about Shen Guiya, but she didn't listen to all of it, but now she realized that she was the one who blamed the good guy.

"After all, it's a human life, and the punishment can't be lightly punished." Mrs. Gu sat upright, looked at Shen Guiyan and said, "I'll fine you twenty sticks, deduct two years' monthly money, and not allow you to leave the house for half a year. How about that?" ?”

Even though she was mentally prepared, Shen Guiyan couldn't help taking a slight breath.

I really don't feel sorry for her. Twenty sticks can already kill her for half of her life. With two years of monthly money and half a year's ban from leaving the house, don't you want to be like the thrush in the cage, eating every day but doing nothing? Is it gone?
Very unwilling.

She raised her head and asked: "It can be changed to thirty rods, but is it allowed for Guiyan to leave the mansion?"

"No."

Mrs. Gu shook her head firmly. The key point of the punishment was not being able to leave the house. Because it should not be too obvious, she put other things in front of it.

Gu Chaobei's position as Minister of Punishment is half-hanging, and he needs someone to help him to investigate the case.If Shen Guiyan could be trapped in the mansion, Gu Chaobei's idiot would hardly be able to accomplish anything. When the time comes when the servant of the Ministry of Punishment becomes vacant, it will be whoever it is.

Mrs. Gu was very sad about losing her child, but apart from being sad, she was thinking about how to get back the original from Shen Guiyan.

"Why not?" Shen Guiyan frowned: "I..."

"This is punishment, and you still have the place to bargain?" Mrs. Gu sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that you helped Bei'er in the palace, this punishment is not enough to pay for life, so you can be content."

Aunt Guan nodded and said: "There is nothing wrong with reporting this punishment to the master. Since the Fourth Young Madam is willing to accept it, there is no need to say more."

Shen Guiyan gritted her teeth, this clearly meant to dig a hole for her to jump in, and kick her down if she didn't jump.

They were wronged first, and it was useless for Gu Chaobei to come back and save them.With a sigh, he lowered his head and said, "It's back to Yanyi."

"Okay." Mrs. Gu said: "Then invite the family law to serve, and then inform the butler of my order."

"Yes." Aunt Guan answered beside her, she ran faster than anyone else, and quickly went to ask for family law.

Gu Chaodong was still walking back and forth in the yard, hesitating, Feng Xiao had already rushed back and said, "Eldest young master! Hurry up! Madam wants to use family law against the fourth young lady!"

"What?!" Gu Chaodong was startled, originally he was still thinking about what to do when he agreed to Shen Guiya's conditions, and then he wanted to divorce her and marry Yan'er in the future.But the mother here is already recklessly going to punish him?

This is not allowed!Gu Chaodong didn't hesitate any longer, and walked away, but instead of going outside, he went into the wing room.

"I promise!" He said these four words.

After all, regardless of Shen Guiya's reaction, he stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said: "Quickly explain to mother with me, mother is going to use family law against Yan'er!"

Shen Guiya slept soundly, but was suddenly woken up, feeling extremely upset.But as soon as he heard this, he was happy: "Shen Guiyan is going to be beaten?"

"You follow me quickly!" Gu Chaodong was really anxious, he pulled Shen Guiya and almost dragged her out of the bed.Shen Guiya cried out in pain several times before stopping him: "Why are you so anxious! I just had a miscarriage and my body is weak!"

Gu Chaodong let go of her, and said rather at a loss: "Then you get up first and follow me."

"Wait." Shen Guiya rolled her eyes, and calmly changed her clothes.

The doctor who was sitting outside as a decoration was very helpless, and came up to remind him in a low voice: "Young Madam just had a miscarriage, so you can't get out of bed."

"Ah, yes, I can't get out of bed." Shen Guiya's heart skipped a beat, she immediately pretended to be weak and fell back on the bed: "It's fine to let the servant girl go and call Madam, just say I'm awake, let them come and see. You are also just right Take advantage of this time to write something to me, otherwise what will you do if you regret it afterwards."

Gu Chaodong was very angry, but he had nothing to do with her, he could only turn around and go out to write and leave the book.Don't let Madam Gu know about this, otherwise he will definitely be scolded to death.

After such a delay, the servant girl walked slowly to inform the meeting that the family members had already arrived at the main hall.

The house slave held the board, while Shen Guiyan knelt on the spot with her back straight.

"Twenty beats, look at it." Mrs. Gu said calmly.

The house slave complied and raised the board high.

"Miss!" Baoshan yelled and wanted to pounce, but was suppressed by Xu Mengdie on the side.

Ministry of Punishment.

Gu Chaobei sat on a chair dangling his ribbon, Yuwen Changqing was the only one in the room.

"You are in big trouble." Yuwen Changqing sat on the table, looked at him and said, "I thought it was the supreme honor given to you by the emperor, and you gave it to the servant without even passing the scientific examination. But this You are wrong in investigating the case, and you are wrong in not investigating it. I see, you really can't wear this ribbon."

Gu Chaobei snorted softly: "If it wasn't because of troublesome things, if you were a queen, you would easily agree to the emperor's decision? You and I were there that day, and everyone in black knows who the man in black is. The world's biggest couple fights , I am that innocent pond fish."

"Maybe it's a good opportunity." Yuwen Changqing said with a smile: "There have been a lot of rumors recently, saying that Miss Shen San is a prosperous man. I see you, take her out more often, maybe I will give it to you A clear path has been found."

"Take her out for a walk?" Gu Chaobei thought of Shen Guiyan and what happened in the garden today, and he couldn't help but feel a little awkward: "I don't quite understand her, and I'm afraid I'll mess with that person if I take her out." If the ancestors are not happy, forget it."

Yuwen Changqing lowered his eyes and smiled and said: "I still remember what she said in the hall that day. It was really every word, and it was enough for the emperor to step up. Otherwise, you might be charged with the crime you committed. Where are you?" You have such a beautiful scene now. You should treat others well and don’t let them down.”

"You all say she is good." Gu Chaobei frowned slightly, and waved his hands impatiently: "I naturally know that she is good, and I will cherish her very much. Why do everyone have to remind me?"

As if he is not good enough for her, he is also very powerful, okay?She should also cherish him instead of ignoring him like today!

"What's wrong with you?" Yuwen Changqing looked at him curiously: "Your mouth is so high, like a child who is angry."

"You just turned your mouth up!" Gu Chaobei said with his mouth turned up: "Who is angry? Who has a child? My master is already going to be weak!"

Yuwen Changqing: "..."

Dumbfounding whether to laugh or cry, he wanted to tease him, but Zhuiyun outside suddenly knocked on the door: "Master, something happened in the house!"
