Ping An often said that Song Wanru was fake and compassionate, and sometimes his words were a little fierce. He often scolded him, but then he gradually stopped saying it.
"Are you doubtful?" "Can you not be doubtful? You gave birth to a concubine..." Seeing the young master glare at him, he added: "The second master is wise and powerful, both civil and military, and he is also the top martial arts scholar in Jinke. Which woman can do that?" After swallowing this breath, I still treat you better than my own son? That is a Bodhisattva, then he is not a human being!"
It’s a pity that even Ping An could see things clearly, but he still didn’t understand them even when he was thirty-seven years old. If it weren’t for Yin Ling’s bowl of poison that poisoned him, Song Wanru, that bitch, would do it one by one in order to make her die. When I came, I thought she was a kind and generous aunt.
"Later, you go to Manager Jiang and ask him to privately investigate the affairs of today's lake, as well as Pingshun." Pingshun likes skating in winter, which makes him jealous, so he goes with him occasionally, and usually goes after midnight. , why did you go early today? This is definitely not a coincidence, not to mention that Pingshun is still hugging his feet tightly in the ice hole.
Gu Jingzhi coughed and felt aches all over his body and his head hurt a little. It seemed that he was still a little weak when he was seventeen. He had been soaking in ice water for no more than ten breaths and there were signs of fever.
She closed her eyes and thought. Just now, Song Wanru was telling herself how to poison him. She was so angry that she spurted out a mouthful of blood. As soon as she closed her eyes, she returned to the moment when she fell into the ice cave at the age of seventeen. What was the reason?
If there was any difference, the moment he felt that he fell into the ice hole, he saw a small hand reaching out to him. He tried hard to grab it, but he only touched one finger, a small white finger, and a red mole. It was eye-catching, and the moment it touched, there was a flash of red light.
Could this be the reason for his rebirth? Whose hand does this belong to?
"Ping An, let Manager Jiang check who is at the lake at noon." Gu Jingzhi closed his eyes and ordered, "Remember not to scare her." Judging from the size of her hands, she was probably a little girl.
Someone called at the door, "The old lady is here!"
The door curtain opened, and an old lady with a face as bright as a silver plate came in, surrounded by maids and women. She walked to the bed and sat down. She held Gu Jingzhi's hand and felt heartbroken. She touched her forehead and said, "I have a fever. Brother Zhi still has a fever." Do you feel like there’s something wrong somewhere else?”
Gu Jingzhi sat up and called out, "Grandma, there is nothing wrong with you. You always say that your grandson is a little calf. This is nothing."
The old lady felt relieved, patted Gu Jingzhi's hand, and said bitterly: "Why did you fall into the ice cave? This matter must be investigated strictly. If some damn person harms my grandson, I will make her pay with her life."
"It's because my grandson was careless and made you worried." The old lady smiled kindly and patted her grandson's hand, "Lie down quickly. You are still talking energetically. It seems nothing serious is wrong."
There was a jingle of rings, and the police announced, "My wife is here."
It came very quickly! Gu Jingzhi looked at the door and saw Song Wanru with tears in her eyes and her hairpin in a mess. She was obviously running in a hurry and threw herself to the bedside, "Jingzhi, my son, why did he fall into the ice hole in the middle of winter? Who the hell is that? I want him to pay with his life for hurting you." Tears rolled down her face, her feelings were so sincere that Gu Jingzhi had to admire her acting skills.
"Madam, don't worry, Jingzhi is fine." Song Wanru's heart tightened. She was suspicious. She used to call her mother, but she just called her madam.
Mother Lu brought Dr. Zhang here, and the old lady said, "Thank you for your hard work!" She stepped aside, and the doctor checked his pulse and prescribed medicine. "Young master's health is good. He will be well after a few doses of medicine."
The old lady and Song Wanru thanked the imperial doctor again and ordered them to give a high-quality red seal, and Mother Lu would send the imperial doctor Zhang out.
The old lady stared at Song Wanru with a sullen face for a while, then scolded sternly, "Fourth daughter-in-law, please kneel down."
Song Wanru has been a daughter-in-law for many years. The old lady has always been kind to her. This is the first time she has spoken harshly like this. Although she is unwilling to do so, she has to kneel down and say, "My daughter-in-law is not strict with the housekeeper. The servants below were careless about digging a lake and did not report it, causing the second young master to fall into the water." , please punish me, mother."
"It is indeed your responsibility. Gui Ju, please follow her investigation. No matter who harms my grandson, he will not be treated lightly." Song Wanru gritted her silver teeth with a look of sadness on her face, "Don't worry, mother. Anyone who knows how to dig three feet into the ground will be killed with a stick and the whole family will be driven out of the house."
There must be a scapegoat in the end. Gu Jingzhi didn't want to hear her continue and coughed. The old lady's face was as dark as water. She glanced at Song Wanru and turned to her grandson with a loving face, "Brother Zhi, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"The smell of rouge in the room makes my head hurt." But no, the old lady brought a nanny and two maids, Song Wanru, a nanny and a maid. The ancients used to incense, and the women even used various scented dews on their bodies. Wipe it, everyone has different preferences, and the various fragrances in the house are mixed, can they not be irritating?
"You are a narrow-minded person. If you dislike my old lady, just say, OK, grandma will leave now." The old lady pointed her finger at Gu Jingzhi's head, relieved to see that her grandson was fine.
"How can my grandson dislike my grandmother? I look forward to seeing her come to see me every day." This is the truth. My grandmother has been dead for many years, and I can see her today. How can I not get enough!
Song Wanru rolled her eyes inwardly. If she didn't dislike the old lady, she would dislike herself. However, she flattered her, "Who doesn't say that our old lady is the most loving? How could our children and grandchildren dislike her! Jingzhi must have fallen into the water and was cold and tired. You need more rest, mother, let's go together!" But he said something like a dog, and helped the old lady Shanshan leave.
The women in the room dispersed, and Ping An brought the medicine, "Young master drank the medicine, I kept watching, no one else came near." After serving him to drink the medicine, he suggested: "Most of the maids and women serving in our yard are ladies. It's arranged, but if it's not guaranteed, who has an outside idea? Otherwise, we should all change it!" There is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days, and the day can't be made.
Gu Jingzhi pondered for a moment and nodded, "Mother Li was given by her grandmother, so she will keep it and replace the others." "Where's Yin Ling?" Yin Ling has been serving the young master since he was eight years old. In recent years, he has developed feelings for the young master as he grew up. , the young master also treats her a little differently, and is the first choice of the maid of his eldest brother's wife.
"She is stupid. If she stays, she will hurt me." Gu Jingzhi sneered.
Gu Jingzhi was tired and closed his eyes to rest. He was not worried about his safety, so he called Mother Li to guard the door while he went to find Jiang Guanshi.
The Zhongyong Hou Mansion has been passed down for more than a hundred years from the ancestor Gu Tiezhu. There were many servants, so many small courtyards were built in the back alleys, and those who became a family were given the opportunity to live in the courtyard.
Jiang Guanshi had been granted good status in his early years and had a house in the city. In order to facilitate the handling of government affairs, he usually stayed in a house in a back alley.
Seeing the smile on the face of the second master's boy, the woman who looked after the door hurriedly opened the corner door, nodded and bowed and sent him out. Ping An left the door and ran to the third room. From a distance, he saw Ma Liang walking quickly with an oil paper bag.
"Ping An, where did you come from?" The two of them were about the same age and had grown up naked together in the back alley.
"Something big has happened. The second master sent me to Xunjiang to take charge."
Ma Liang didn't ask any more questions, led him to a house and opened the door, "Wait a minute, Mr. Jiang is resting. I'll go and report." The maid of the Prime Minister's family is a seventh-grade official, and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is a super-grade marquis. When Manager Jiang is out, everyone calls him "Master Jiang."
After a while, Manager Jiang came over in a hurry, "What happened to the second master?" Ying Qi frowned and sounded concerned in his tone.
When he heard that the second master had fallen into the ice cave, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and there was a trace of hatred in his eyes, which disappeared in a flash. He pondered for a while and said, "Go back and tell the second master not to worry, I will make arrangements." Ping An accepted Manager Jiang's words and said goodbye and left the house.
It will take some time to check Pingshun. Tingxuexuan needs to change people urgently. How can he allow others to sleep soundly next to the bed.
Manager Jiang carefully selected two first-class maids and four second-class maids, all of whom were of clean wealth and had few connections. Hearing that Ping An had mentioned the girl Sasu by the lake, he sent Cai Wei and Cai Lian to the Second Young Master's courtyard to be promoted to the third class.
