19, Chapter Nineteen
Chen Qiuyan's voice was soft, with endless grievances, and even acted as a gesture to wipe her tears with the exquisite embroidered veil.
Zhou's father's face was not very good-looking, and Chu Yunli watched leisurely with her chin.
Gu Yan felt distressed, "Yan'er, don't cry, dad is late, from now on, no one will give you grievances."
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows. What does this mean? Still, I feel that Chen Qiuyan has been wronged?
Chen Qiuyan lay on Gu Yan's arm and burst into tears to laugh, "Fortunately, my husband and I are a destined marriage, and even if we miss it, we can still return to our original position."
She looked at the Zhou father and daughter and continued, "Dad, the Zhou family raised me and did have kindness to me, but they wanted to break off the kinship at the beginning. If they wanted some face, they would not repay their kindness now."
Zhou's father frowned, "Mr. Gu came to the door today, but it was not invited by Zhou. As for the kindness... Lord. Gu, don't blame me for not teaching Miss Gu well, but I dare not ask for any kindness."
Chen Qiuyan sneered, "If you don't want kindness, then what are your requirements?"
Chen Qiuyan was still sarcastic at Zhou's father. Chu Yunli couldn't help but sneer, "You didn't grow up with Yufeng. When your mother was pregnant before marriage, the Shen family wanted to sink her into the pond. If my mother hadn't been soft-hearted, how could you mother and daughter in this world now?"
"Since you said that, we must do it carefully today. Over the years, you have eaten, drunk, defecated and urinated in the Zhou Mansion, and you have calculated it clearly. If you pay the money, you will have no relationship with us. In the future, you will be your wealthy person and don't enter the Zhou Mansion again."
Gu Yan was in a dilemma. On one hand, he was the biological daughter he had just received, and on the other hand, he was the benefactor of his biological daughter, which was not easy to offend. He hurriedly said, "Why is this so? This kind of kindness cannot be bought with money."
The Zhou father and daughter were silent. Chen Qiuyan covered her face with a veil, her body trembled slightly, and she looked aggrieved. Gu Yan was busy comforting her, and from time to time, he looked apologetically at Zhou's father, and the atmosphere in the room became stagnant.
Just at this moment, there was a riot outside, and Zhou's father's entourage reported outside the door, "Master, it's Grandma Chen from the backyard, and she insists on coming in to see you. She said she has something important to see Lord Gu."
After Chu Yunli brought Mrs. Chen back, everyone in the Zhou family felt that she was humane. Anyway, there was only one more irrelevant person in the mansion. After so long, Mrs. Chen has been recuperating in the yard. If someone hadn't mentioned it, many people would have forgotten that there was this person in the mansion.
When Chu Yunli took the person away, she took away the contract of Chen Qiuyan's body sale. Strictly speaking, Chen's wife is now a servant of the Zhou Mansion. I don't know what she thought of, Chu Yunli ordered, "Let her come in."
Mrs. Chen has been ill for so long, and she has changed a lot compared to when she came back. She has become much more rounded. After entering the door, she first looked at Chu Yunli’s body, and then knelt down to Gu Yan, “I’ve been together for many years, I wonder if Mr. Gu will be happy recently?”
Gu Yan stood up excitedly, "Are you Fan Yun?"
Mrs. Chen was also a little excited, with tears in her eyes, "It's hard for the young master to remember me, but the girl has already..."
Gu Yan's eyes were filled with grief, "I'm late."
Zhou's father sat back, Chu Yunli looked at the scene and asked, "Just now, Grandma Chen said there is something important to report?"
Mrs. Chen looked at her, turned around and leaned down at Gu Yan, "Young Master, I must say something if I have something to do."
Gu Yan frowned slightly, glanced at the Zhou father and daughter, and said, "You serve them and their mother and daughter for many years. You have been kind to them, that is, you have kind to Gu. I will take you with you. The future is long, so I will talk about anything later."
Chen Ma, lying on the ground without looking up, I don’t know if he didn’t hear what Gu Yan wanted her to say in the future, and cried, “Young master, the girl died unjustly.”
As soon as these words were said, not only did they care about Yan's face, but Zhou's father's face was not good-looking either.
If Chen Qiuyan's mother died in vain, wouldn't it mean that the Zhou family harmed her? Or did the Zhou family not protect her?
Now, as an official in the court, Gu Yan is determined to be angered even if he finds out that the matter has nothing to do with the Zhou family. Just like he is looking for someone, as long as the rumors leak, most people are willing to be front pawns. At that time, the Zhou family's fate... Thinking of this, Zhou's father looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "Tell me clearly!"
Chen's wife did not look back, she didn't even look up, "The girl was about to give birth, but a very skilled woman suddenly came to Huanxi Town, saying that she was coming back to visit relatives. At that time, Mrs. Zhou was about to give birth, and Mrs. Zhou spent a lot of money to invite people back. I never thought that woman had something wrong with her. Until Mrs. Zhou and the girl gave birth one after another, they were both injured. After giving birth, they were lingering in sick bed, and passed away soon after. I suspected that woman... maybe it was arranged by someone who was interested!"
As soon as these words were said, Zhou's father looked ugly and he recalled carefully.
Gu Yan looked at Zhou's father in surprise and asked, "Do you have an enemy?"
Zhou's father shook his head, "The Zhou family has been in Huanxi Town for many years and was originally kind to others. Business people pay attention to being kind to make money. They will teach their children to be good at dancing and versatile since childhood. They rarely offend people, let alone such a life-and-death revenge that harms people's lives. There will definitely be no one who has such a malice towards the Zhou family."
It is not aimed at the Zhou family, it is aimed at the people who live in the Zhou family.
As a result, Mrs. Zhou was actually implicated by others. Zhou's father thought about this, his face turned pale, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and he staggered to the table before he stood firm.
Chu Yunli was also surprised when she heard this. Seeing that Zhou's father reacted so much, she hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Dad, how are you?" She stretched out her hand to take her pulse as she spoke.
The pulse was messy, and it was obvious that Zhou's family was so excited that they could not calm down. They hurriedly advised, "Dad, don't be angry. You still have a daughter. What if you have a few or two shorts, what should you do if your daughter is?"
Zhou's father was only unable to accept it for a moment and his mood was fluctuating. He gradually calmed down when he heard this, stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, and looked at Chen Qiuyan with complexity.
Chen Qiuyan was very happy to see Chen's wife. The news she heard later surprised her. She stopped crying and her eyes were not red. It can be seen that she was pretending just now.
Chen Qiuyan didn't care about these things. She never expected that Mrs. Zhou would die early, and she actually had her mother's relationship. However, now it's not the time to be in a daze. She didn't want Gu Yan to take care of the Zhou family because of their mother-daughter relationship. After learning the news, it was not a good thing for her. She frowned, "Don't talk nonsense. It's been many years since then, maybe you remember it wrong. My mother was chasing me by the Shen clan and was already weak, and with postpartum injuries, it was inevitable that she died early. As for Mrs. Zhou, it might not be necessary."
If it is determined that Mrs. Zhou died early because of her mother's implicated, then the Zhou family will not only take in and raise their mother and daughter, but they owe Zhou family a life.
Chen's wife did not refute, nor did she look up at Chen Qiuyan. She did not move, but still knelt in front of Gu Yan and continued, "Young Master, I said this just to make you beware of your family, so that the girl would not be plotted against her after she followed you back. Back then... the only one who knew about the matter between you and the girl was the only follower around you."
Gu Yan looked cautious and nodded, "Get up. I was serious just now. Thank you for your hard work. I will take you back and let you retire in the Hou Mansion. If you are willing to continue to stay with Yan'er."
Chen's wife finally looked up, her face full of tears, "I would be very happy if I had the words of a young master. But Miss Zhou is a life-saving person, so I can't just leave like this." After that, she kowtowed to Chen Qiuyan three times, "In the future, I will not be by the girl's side, so I must take care of myself."
Chen Qiuyan felt a little guilty about Chen Ma Zi. Chen Ma Zi has been taking care of her since she was a child. After marrying into the Wu family with her, she lived a dire period of life. Even though she became ill, she didn't have the money to help her ask for medical treatment. In the end, she was forced to take her away by Chu Yunli. This was the first time that the master and servant met after they took her away.
"Mother-in-law, please come with me." Chen Qiuyan's words were sincere. "Although the Zhou family saved you, I can give her money. I will support you in the future."
Chen Ma Zi smiled and shook her head, "Mr. Gu has found a girl now. As long as she recognizes her ancestors, her life will not be sad. As long as the girl lives well, she will be fine." After saying that, she stood up, looked at everyone in the room and retreated.
As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the room was even more solemn than before. Chu Yunli kept holding Zhou's father worriedly and stroked his chest.
Gu Yan's face looked ugly and he ordered, "Come on! Go back and check the white chess carefully." Bai Qi was his entourage back then, and now he has become a child. Gu Yan, who is with his family, kept him looking at the shop under his command and did not serve him.
He looked at Zhou's father with a serious expression, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, if the death of his wife is really related to the people around Gu, after Gu found out, he will definitely give you an explanation!"
"Dad..." Chen Qiuyan stomped her feet and said, "It must be your business, otherwise I wouldn't have grown this big."
This is also true. People are trying hard to deal with a woman who has something to do with Gu Yan, and there is no reason to keep the child she gave birth to.
This time, Gu Yan did not obey her, "Go back, there is nothing to do in the future, and you are not allowed to come to Zhou's mansion."
Chen Qiuyan looked disbelief and a little scared. This was the first time he was so serious after she and Gu Yan recognized each other. He took a step back and turned around and ran away.
Zhou's father was stunned. It was like he didn't see Chen Qiuyan running away. Zhou's father had never married again in recent years. It shows how deep his feelings for his wife are. Now he suddenly knows that his wife may have been hurt by others, so he left early. It was because of his soft heart and implicated the people in the mansion. He couldn't figure it out. Chu Yunli was very worried about it.
