"Explain it to me in front of your cousin today! What is going on!"
Gu Jiu was sitting in the bookstore when Shi Yuyan suddenly ran in and pulled Gu Jiu out of the counter first.
"What is there to say? Yuyan, you don't even know her status in our family, what can she know!"
Gu Zheqi, who followed, obviously didn't walk very neatly, but because he was angry, he didn't walk very slowly.
Looking at the two emotionally aroused people, Gu Jiu felt that one was bigger than the other.
Two ancestors are here, and I have to open the door for business. If you are arguing like this, who dares to come in?
"Don't worry about what she knows, Aqi. Let me ask you one last time, how did your mother die? Is what my father said true? Have you ever thought about marrying me?"
Shi Yuyan's voice was broken, and the questions she uttered seemed to be covered with a thick layer of mist.
"How could I lie to you! Yu Yan, we have known each other for so long and you still don't understand me? If I didn't want to marry you, why would I waste so long on you? You know, my grandfather doesn't like you. For you and me I almost broke up with him, Yu Yan, if I didn’t care about you, could I do this for you?”
Gu Zheqi's tone was alternately long and short, and he didn't know how wronged he had been.
"Is this a breakup?" Shi Yuyan looked back at Gu Jiu, pointed at Gu Zheqi and asked.
"Gu Jiu, tell me whether there was a breakup or not. What did Grandpa Gu say at the beginning?"
Hearing this, Gu Zheqi became nervous subconsciously and looked at Gu Jiu with eyes full of warning.
Gu Jiu: ...What can I say to make you leave my shop without offending the Shi family at all?
"this matter……"
"She had already been kicked out by her grandfather at that time, and she had no idea what was going on!"
Seeing that Gu Jiu really wanted to answer, Gu Zheqi immediately interrupted Gu Jiu and said.
If Gu Zheqi had said this before, Shi Yuyan would have believed it immediately, but now that she was suspicious, she would not believe it so easily when Gu Zheqi said it again.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Even if she had already left at that time, she is a member of your Gu family after all. If your biological grandson wants to sever ties, there is no way she won't know about it at all!"
After saying that, he turned back to look at Gu Jiu: "Don't be afraid of your cousin, just tell me, I will protect you!"
Gu Jiu: "I have never heard of this matter..."
"You really lied to me like dad said!"
Before Gu Jiu could finish speaking, Shi Yuyan burst into tears of anger.
What followed was another scene of arguments and heartache.
Gu Jiu looked at the passerby who was about to come over to buy something, tilted his head, glanced at the passerby and walked away after hearing the movement, and there were vague signs of anger.
"Miss Shi!"
After missing another customer, Gu Jiu stepped forward and stood between the two of them, facing Shi Yuyan and said: "I have been away from Gujiacun for a long time, and I don't know exactly what happened during this time. There are many things that happened. I can only guarantee that I haven’t done it.”
"As for the matter about my aunt you just mentioned, I think the county magistrate will know the ins and outs of the matter better than me. It is inevitable that my cousin and I will be mixed with personal feelings when talking, but the magistrate has always been impartial and we have never met each other. .Ms. Shi, if you really want the answer, then going to the Yamen is the perfect place."
Gu Jiu's words were clear and his eyes were so sincere that he couldn't make a single mistake.
When Shi Yuyan heard about the magistrate, she subconsciously thought of the scene where she protected Gu Zheqi outside the Yamen a few days ago: At that time, she not only exposed the entire Shi family, but even threatened her with death, so the magistrate reluctantly agreed to commute her sentence, and it was just a commute! I think he is an upright person.
"Okay, I will listen to you."
When he heard that he was going to the Yamen, Gu Zheqi was unhappy on the spot. If the county magistrate didn't want to see him, he would definitely not speak well of him when he went there, so he might as well stay here!
"Yu Yan, can you stop making trouble? There are so many things going on in the Yamen every day, how can you bear to let the magistrate take care of our trivial matters again?"
"The Shi family is one of the most important forces in Yuncheng, and Miss Shi is Master Shi's most beloved child. How can her matter be a trivial matter?"
Hearing this, Gu Jiu immediately retorted.
Seeing this, Shi Yuyan immediately nodded affirmatively and waved to Shi Xuyao who was waiting outside.
"Take Aqi with you and let's go to the Yamen."
"Yes, miss."
Including Shi Xuyao, Shi Yuyan brought a total of five people this time. Not to mention that Gu Zheqi's injuries were not healed yet, even if they were completely healed, he would still be unable to fly.
"Let me go, Master, I will leave on my own!"
Shi Xuyao was not sure what his young lady was thinking. Seeing the arrogant Gu Zheqi, he did not dare to knock him unconscious with a stick. He could only pinch hard where the wound could not be seen and whispered a warning. .
"Gu Zheqi, you'd better be quiet. If you really piss us off, you will die miserably the day the lady doesn't like you!"
Hearing this, Gu Zheqi froze at first. When he came to his senses and was about to complain to Shi Yuyan who had already walked out, he was kicked out.
Gu Jiu pulled back his leg with a look of disgust on his face, wondering if she would make any money today!
I thought that with the magistrate's explanation and Shi Qiusheng's previous preparation for Shi Yuyan, this matter would come to an end soon, but what I didn't expect was that Shi Qiusheng approached her that night.
"Master Shi, are you in a hurry to see me this late at night?" Gu Jiu rubbed his temples and looked at the guilty waiter standing behind Shi Qiusheng and asked.
"Yu Yan is missing!"
Gu Jiu: Huh? ? ?
"Yu Yan ended up with your cousin Gu Zheqi, but now Gu Zheqi can't be found. Do you know where he is?"
Gu Jiu: "I don't know. The two of them came to my place once at nine o'clock yesterday morning, and then they said they were going to the Yamen. I don't know what happened after that."
"Where do you think they will be?"
Shi Qiusheng's tone was urgent, and his eyebrows could not hide the worry. He searched everywhere he could, no matter if it was the government office or all the inns, he had people check it, but there was still no trace at all. It was so late, where could a girl go?
Gu Jiu thought for a moment and shook his head. She really didn't know this.
"Get dressed and come with us to find it!"
While talking, Shi Qiusheng went downstairs and continued searching elsewhere.
Gu Jiu:......
Looking at Shi Xuyao, who was standing there looking determined to take her with him, Gu Jiu sighed helplessly. Forget it, forget it, after all, the person is missing, it would be good to help look for him.
So at 2:30 in the morning, a group of ghost-like people holding lanterns began to call Miss Shi along the street.
"Master, I didn't find the lady over there either."
"A bunch of trash, keep looking! Cloud City is only so big in total, where else can they hide!"
As time passed, Shi Qiusheng became more and more irritable.
The cool night breeze blew past Gu Jiu's ears one after another. Gu Jiu finally woke up from his intense sleepiness when Shi Qiusheng yelled at him again.
Damn it, her sleep quality is not good, and it is even more difficult to get a good night's sleep. If she couldn't afford to offend Shi Jia now, she would definitely have to worry about getting out of bed!
"Will Gu Wensheng know some information?"
Looking at the furious Shi Qiusheng, Gu Jiu asked.
"I asked and he didn't know anything."
Shi Qiusheng replied rather irritably. Ever since the last time someone tied up Gu Wensheng and asked for money, Gu Wensheng had not been out of the woodshed since he locked him up, and there was no way he would be involved in this incident.
"I mean, does he know where Gu Zheqi usually goes when he's not home?"
After hearing this, Shi Qiusheng immediately rushed to Shi's house with seven or eight people.
Gu Jiu: Leave me alone here?
In line with the principle of not being able to sleep even if he was woken up, Gu Jiu stayed and searched with the others.
After searching, Gu Jiu suddenly realized that if Shi Qiusheng could find him, he must have searched all the places he could find, and he would only call her out as a last resort.
If this is the case, what part could have been overlooked, or could not be found by the Shi family?
Some small households, Jingchangkou and Gujiacun.
Judging from the time, people born in Shi Qiusheng in these three places must not have checked it yet. So where is Gu Zheqi most likely to take Shi Yuyan?
"Shi Xuyao, I remember you were with Miss Shi Yuyan." Gu Jiuyi pointed out.
"Yes, but after coming out of the Yamen, the young lady and Gu Zheqi reached some agreement on some conditions. After the two reconciled, they separated us."
Gu Jiu nodded.
If you look at it this way, the most likely place is Gujiacun!
"Miss Jiu, have you guessed where the lady is?" Shi Xuyao asked anxiously.
Gu Jiu nodded, and under Shi Xuyao's expectant eyes, he analyzed: "It may be in Gujiacun, but...Miss Shi's current condition may not be very good."
The so-called reaching some kind of agreement was just Gu Zhe's sweet words to coax Shi Yuyan, but since they were coaxed, there was no need for the two of them to disappear.
The only explanation is that the two have not reconciled at all. The seemingly reconciled relationship is just Gu Zheqi deliberately following what Shi Yuyan said.
"What? Then let's go to Gujia Village quickly! Miss Jiu, there is a carriage at home, and I hope you can show us the way."
Gu Jiu felt solemn and nodded.
Although Gu Zheqi killed his own mother for his own selfish gain, but... no, the Shi family still has considerable value to him, and Gu Zheqi would not do such a thing now!
Even so, Gu Jiu was still quite worried.
After all, Gu Zheqi was young and a spoiled person. Without Gu Wensheng around, he would inevitably do something impulsive.
Alas, I pray that he doesn't do anything outrageous, otherwise he will be affected a lot.
On the way back, Shi Xuyao and Gu Jiu happened to bump into Shi Qiusheng who was coming.
Gu Jiu: Huh? Finished the question so quickly? Gu Wensheng is not one to talk easily.
"Master, just now Miss Jiu said that the young lady may have been taken back to her village by Gu Zheqi. Xu Yao wants to use the carriage at home to look for her!" After seeing the person clearly, Shi Xu Yao quickly asked for orders without any hesitation.
