Aunt Zhang, accompanied by Miss Yao Qi and Miss Yao Ba, had a sad look on her face. As soon as she saw Gu Qingling, she quickly led them up to him.
"Old lady, what happened? Why...how could a government officer arrest us?!"
Aunt Zhang knew that something was going on with the Yao family, but every hospital was tightly controlled, so she couldn't get any information.
But no matter how much she guessed, she never expected that a government officer would come to arrest someone.
Did the old lady do something, or was it Uncle Yao or Erye Yao?
Nothing happened when I stayed in the capital, but when I moved to Yunyang City, things happened one after another. What on earth did you want to do?
Aunt Zhang regretted it to death. If she had known that the mother and son were so unreliable after the earl's death, she would have sooner...
Will Gu Qingling say it?
of course not.
So she said expressionlessly: "I don't know."
"Old lady..." Old Aunt Zhang clutched her handkerchief and put on a pitiful expression.
If she was like a delicate white lotus when she was young, it would be heartbreaking to cry like this. But unfortunately, the person standing in front of her is Gu Qingling, and she already has wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, so she is no longer young.
Because she was only two or three years older than Gu Qingling, and the control group in front of her, Gu Qingling, looked particularly young and beautiful, so Aunt Zhang had some kind of illusion - in fact, I am still very young and beautiful...
This misunderstanding caused Aunt Zhang to make the wrong choice.
On the opposite side, if you look carefully, you will find that the corners of Gu Qingling's mouth are twitching.
There's nothing I can do about it, she's really no longer young, and Aunt Zhang, who is still at the age of an aunt, still acts like a weak girl, which is a bit too harsh on the eyes.
Auntie Zhang is taking good care of herself, but the problem is that after the Earl's death, in order to show her determination to recite the Buddha's name wholeheartedly, she dressed very dullly. If she dresses dullly even though she is old, she will look several years older than her actual age.
Yet?
Imagine that an old woman of almost fifty years old puts on a white lotus expression in front of you, tut tut tut tut…
Feel it yourself.
Gu Qingling directly moved her eyes away, not even wanting to look.
As for the government officials, they were polite to Gu Qingling because she was known as the "Countess" and had not taken away the title. They were a bunch of little people who really couldn't do anything to noble people, but being polite to Gu Qingling didn't mean they would be polite to Gu Qingling.
Aunts are so polite, especially the ones who make a lot of noise, and they are immediately gagged and tied up.
What else did Old Aunt Zhang want to say? When she saw Old Aunt Chen being tied up by the government officials, she immediately did not dare to cause trouble. She hugged her two daughters, one on the left and the other on the right, and followed Gu Qingling fearfully.
Gu Qingling glanced at Old Aunt Zhang. At least she was smart and knew who to rely on at such a time.
No, she is also an aunt, and her treatment is as good as heaven and earth.
They said they were asking questions, but when they arrived at the government office, Gu Qingling and others were "invited" to jail without even seeing the county magistrate.
With status like Gu Qingling, Mrs. Yao, Second Mrs. Yao, Third Mrs. Yao, Aunt Chen, and Aunt Zhang, it is naturally impossible to be locked up with the servants of the Yao family. So headed by Gu Qingling, the female family members were locked up with her;
As for Yao Anhong and Yao Anyi, who were boys, they were stuffed next door.
"Third Master?!"
As soon as Mrs. Yao San saw Mr. Yao next door, she quickly stepped forward and shouted.
"Ms. Qiao, why are you all in here?!"
When Sanye Yao saw all the female members of the Yao family coming in, he was frightened to death.
Even if he and his eldest brother were imprisoned, how come even the old lady...
"I don't know either." Mrs. Yao San shed tears.
But before she could finish talking to Mr. Yao, after being let in, the rope was removed, and the old aunt Chen who took out the handkerchief from her mouth rushed forward and grabbed Mrs. Yao and Mr. Yao.
He raised his hand and said, "Why are you alone? Where is your sixth brother?"
Sanye Yao looked confused: "Sixth brother? Sixth brother is not with me..."
"He's not with you, don't you know where he is?" Aunt Chen couldn't help but feel happy. Could it be that her youngest son escaped?
That's really great and gratifying.
She knew that that kid was so smart, how could he be so stupid and be imprisoned with everyone?
Aunt Chen didn't wait for Yao Sanye to answer, and interrupted again: "Okay, you don't need to say anything, I understand. With your stubborn look, how can you know where your sixth brother is? I'm stupid
That's..."
When she said this, Aunt Zhang, who was hugging her two daughters, lowered her head and blocked the meaning in her eyes with her hair.
Mrs. Chen said a lot more, then she let go of Master Yao San, returned the seat to Mrs. Yao San, and found a place to sit down and rest.
No, it cannot be considered a rest.
Although she stopped pestering Mr. Yao, she didn't stop nagging: "I don't know who killed Qian Dao and made everyone run into the prison..."
Oh, point fingers at mulberry trees and scold huai trees.
Although she didn't know who it was, Aunt Chen felt that apart from the old woman's two sons, there were no fools in the Yao family.
Gu Qingling: "..."
I'm so sorry, I'm the one who killed you with a thousand swords!
She ignored Old Aunt Chen, and just held the hands of Yao Anxin and Yao Anling, telling them in a low voice that they must follow her closely before returning to Yao's house safely.
Although Yao Anling was a little unhappy, Mrs. Yao Er stood next to her and stopped her with her eyes.
Yao Anling had no choice but to stand there angrily, leaning against Gu Qingling.
Yao Anxin was older and knew better. She knew that the old lady's reminder must have her own reasons, so she softly said "yes".
Seeing Uncle Yao, Mrs. Yao and he looked at each other in silence for a while.
It was true that Mrs. Yao had nothing to say, but now that she was in prison, it was inconvenient to say anything. She was also worried that she might ask the wrong thing and bring trouble to everyone, so she could only hold back.
Uncle Yao felt a little more at ease when he saw that all the female relatives were there, and they didn't seem to be panicking.
Originally, he didn't agree with the old lady's plan, but the old lady said that if you don't get into the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. What's more, there is someone behind the person who wants to scheme against them. If they don't pull each other to the end, they will be in trouble in the future.
Don't even think about living in peace.
A person can only commit a thief for a thousand days, but how can he guard against a thief for a thousand days?
What's more, even if their adults are not afraid, what about the children at home?
Gu Qingling said: "If they attack Sister Xin and the others, what will we do?"
Uncle Yao: "..."
"So, instead of waiting for them to take action, we might as well take the initiative ourselves. At least everyone can be together and it will be safer, right?"
Thinking back to the last time when Mr. Yao was "alone", others got together to plot against him. Uncle Yao and others had no way to guarantee that if they were alone, nothing would happen to them.
What's more, there are four children, Yao Anxin, Yao Anhong, Yao Anyi, and Yao Anling.
Gu Qingling has "confined" them in Ronghetang for a while. They can't be locked up forever, right?
