In the study room, smoke curled up.
Jiang Xuncheng sat behind the large desk, flipping through the case files in his hands, and then looked up at Aunt Gu.
"What's the matter?"
"I heard from the people in the kitchen that it's so late that the prime minister hasn't had dinner yet, and I'm worried about it, so I brought it here specially for you. I also went to the big kitchen to make soup for you and brought it here with me. It's still hot now. ."
After Aunt Gu finished speaking, she took the food basket from Yu's mother's hand and placed it in front of the desk. She took out the dishes and carefully placed them on the table.
Jiang Xuncheng reached out and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, his expression softening.
"Just let the servants do this kind of thing."
"It's better for me to do it. I really can't worry about the Prime Minister." Aunt Gu said, "The Prime Minister's health was not good before, and now the root cause of the disease cannot be traced. He must be carefully treated."
As he said this, he served a bowl of rice to Jiang Xuncheng.
Jiang Xun took over and started eating. He was really hungry. He had been busy before and didn't realize it. Now when he saw the food delivered, he immediately felt empty in his stomach.
After finishing the bowl in three or two mouths, Aunt Gu thoughtfully filled another bowl.
When Jiang Xuncheng was finished, he took them off one by one.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Xuncheng's eyes became gentler.
When she felt that the atmosphere was almost over, Aunt Gu raised her head. Her eyes were red and she bit her lip. She looked at Jiang Xuncheng and hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Xuncheng asked.
Aunt Gu lifted up her skirt and knelt down. Tears fell one after another. She was extremely aggrieved: "Master Xiang, I don't know where I went wrong. Why... why did you let me... I go to beat a mother-in-law? And I have to beat him half to death, I... I don’t understand this, why should I do such a thing, this woman was beaten to pieces, she is extremely pitiful..."
He looks extremely pitiful, but his words are flawless and extremely kind.
Not mentioning the Kong family, just saying that a mother-in-law is pitiful and she has to do it.
Aunt Gu didn't know what the problem was, but she knew how to behave at this time. She stared at Jiang Xuncheng with her eyes, and slowly burst into tears again: "Master Xiang, I just want to ask, does this matter have anything to do with me?" What's the relationship? I don't even know what happened. It's just a mother-in-law who behaves sneakily and seems to have something to do with the madam. I reported it to the old lady... I don't know what happened after that. I still don't know what happened. I don’t understand why… why did you take this poor woman’s life?”
"You really don't know? Jiang Xuncheng asked in a deep voice.
"I really don't know. Prime Minister, can you tell me something?" Aunt Gu looked at Jiang Xuncheng with tears in her eyes and a look of expectation on her face.
Jiang Xuncheng sighed lightly.
It was Aunt Gu's appearance that initially attracted him. He had just arrived in the capital at that time, and had already been engaged to the Kong family, but had not yet gotten married. The old lady was still on her way to the capital, and had not yet arrived in the capital. It was at this time that Jiang Xuncheng met Aunt Gu's, she also missed her relatives there and accidentally bumped into Jiang Xuncheng's carriage.
It was a cold day, shivering, and she looked very pitiful. Her leg was injured, and I asked her if she wanted to see a doctor. She kept dragging her injured leg to the side, trembling all over, tears falling, shaking her head repeatedly, and said yes. fine.
But when he got up again, he fell down again.
Jiang Xuncheng saw that she was pitiful and kind-hearted, and there was no one around to take care of her. Moreover, he had knocked her up, so he took her to the hospital. From then on, the two of them had contact and even had an affair without a matchmaker.
After the old lady came to Beijing, she found that it was too late and Aunt Gu was pregnant.
"That's it for now." Jiang Xuncheng stretched out his hand to help Aunt Gu.
Not hearing the answer she wanted, Aunt Gu could not comply. She stretched out her hand to hold Jiang Xuncheng's sleeve, with tears in her eyes: "Master, did the madam say something? I...I really don't know anything. , Even if I accidentally saw such a woman, after questioning her, I did not dare to accept what she said, so I sent it to the old lady."
"The matter is over." Jiang Xuncheng said.
"Master Xiang..."
Aunt Gu cried aggrievedly, "A mother-in-law's life is also a life. Even if the mother-in-law and the madam have something, just drive them away, why bother with her life? Besides, the jewelry, the madam's jewelry, some rubies are missing." I’ve asked about jewelry, but I don’t know anything about it.”
Jiang Xuncheng looked at Aunt Gu deeply: "Tell me, you really don't know about this?"
"I really don't know!" Aunt Gu cried, her expression becoming more and more miserable, "I am just a woman from the inner courtyard, or even just a concubine. I usually do things carefully, just for fear that my wife will misunderstand me, so I don't dare to There is just the slightest bit of slack. The incident between the eldest girl and the second girl just happened before. Now I am afraid of being punished by the madam. Now...now, now, I don’t understand this matter."
"It's best if you don't understand. This matter is over. Just throw the mother-in-law away tomorrow. There is no need to pity her for such a guilty woman."
Jiang Xuncheng pushed Aunt Gu's hand away.
He turned around and sat down behind the desk: "You go back first, I still have things to do."
"Master Prime Minister!" Aunt Gu said sadly, looking at Jiang Xuncheng sadly with tears in her eyes.
"Okay!" Seeing her like this, Jiang Xuncheng sighed, "This matter has nothing to do with you and has little to do with Madam, but now we have to wait."
He was dubious about his youngest daughter's words, but found them credible.
If it were in the past, he would definitely not let Kong go. He had been looking for such a good opportunity for a long time, so how could he let it go, "Don't worry, after this incident, I will find a suitable opportunity for you again, An Xinhou" If the mansion is not good, there is no need for the Anxinhou Mansion, it is shameless."
At the end of the conversation, his face became cold. He was also very embarrassed about the affairs of Anxinhou Mansion.
"What the Prime Minister said is true, and I... think so too."
"Okay, let's go down! I will do what I promised you." Jiang Xuncheng comforted Aunt Gu in a deep voice.
Aunt Gu pressed the handkerchief at the corner of her eyes, with a soft smile on her face. She put it away and bowed sideways: "Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister."
As he retreated outside the door, his eyes were full of pride. What the Prime Minister promised him would definitely come true.
"Auntie, let's just forget it?" Mother Yu whispered in Auntie Gu's ear, looking in the direction of the courtyard where Kong's family was, "What on earth is going on?"
"There should be a follow-up." Aunt Gu said. Based on her understanding of Jiang Xuncheng, this matter will never be over.
"But why... why should people be disposed of?" Yu's mother was very uneasy.
Aunt Gu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "You are not soft-hearted just because she is your relative, are you?"
Yu's mother was startled and knelt down quickly: "Auntie, I don't dare. This old slave has been following Auntie since he entered the Jiang Mansion. For so many years, all I have been thinking about is Auntie."
Aunt Gu stretched out her hand to help Yu's mother up, and said with a smile: "It's good if you understand. I don't want to do this, but it has something to do with the Prime Minister. I'm afraid this can only be the case, but..."
Aunt Gu raised her head and looked in the direction where the Kong family lived, the venom in her eyes almost dripping out, "But this matter can't end like this!"
"Auntie..." Yu's mother was surprised.
"Wait!"
